I've been here twice and I'm definitely a fan! First time I went, I had the Grilled Pork Rice Bowl with an added egg and I had a bite of the Grilled Pork Sandwich... both were delicious! My second visit I had Garlic Noodles w/ Bulgogi. This dish was fine. A tad more filling than the rice bowl I had my previous visit but I definitely prefer the bowl and as far as protein choices go, I think the pork is much better. Employees here are super friendly and food comes out a lot faster than I thought it would. The inside gives me modern coffee shop vibes and is very clean and comfortable inside. There's also outdoor seating and although there's not much of a view outside of ample parking, I appreciate that I have a choice and prefer eating outside. I definitely see myself returning and look forward to trying the shrimp and chicken for my protein! read more

Walking into this place is nice. The marble counters paired with wooden tables give it a clean, modern vibe. There's booth seating along the wall, a few larger tables, and even some outdoor seating. I also noticed outlets at the booths, so this would be a great spot to get some work done. Bonus: Purr Bowls is inside too, and I'm not gonna lie--their bowls looked so good I wish I had ordered one. Definitely trying that next time. Drinks: We got two Vietnamese iced coffees, and they were exactly what I expected--strong AF . If you need caffeine, this will absolutely wake you up and keep you going. Food: * Bulgogi Steak Bowl - I loved this. It was flavorful, filling, and still felt light/healthy. Everything just worked together perfectly. * Bulgogi Ribeye Steak Sandwich - My boyfriend claimed he's "not really into sandwiches"... yeah, okay . He completely devoured it--crumbs and all. Safe to say it was a hit. Overall, great vibes, strong coffee, and really solid food. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

Always love this place. Food is great and desserts are excellent. Though, the Carson branch gives more than the amount on the desserts and the fries is better too. We didn't get a chance to take picture of the Cajun fries, it's an additional order. Not fond of the taste in this location; it's like air fried. Just tastes different from the other location. But overall, our experience was great. Staffs were excellent. Located next to Trader Joe's and across Five and Below. Ample parking. Limited dining space, but couple of single tables available inside and outside too. Place is clean. It's a must try. Enjoy! 3-22-2026 read more

I first tried food from Nguyen's Kitchen at one of my daughter's classmate's birthday parties and was pleasantly surprised. Fast forward a month later, a friend chose this spot for dinner and I was totally down since I'd really enjoyed the catered food. The menu is small but solid which I didn't mind at all because I already had my eye on the House Chicken Bowl. It was just as flavorful as I remembered. I love the veggies especially the pickled carrots and daikon which paired so well with the rice and chicken. I ordered a cucumber limeade to go with it and it was super refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. Looking forward to trying their other bowls next time! read more

Nguyen’s Kitchen - Chicken bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Tasty. Clean. Fast. What a winning combination! I got the bulgogi sandwich and devoured half of it before I even realized - then I tried to save the other half for later but that only lasted like 5 minutes (lol). I can't wait to try their other menu options and maybe even get an açaí bowl from Pur, with whom they share a space with. I appreciate how the food was worth the price - there was so much meat and pickled veggies but the ratio was still perfect! Their sauce is yummy and I added sriracha and jalapeños at home for added spice. read more

Nguyen’s Kitchen - Bulgogi sandwich - devoured half immediately! So good! - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Starting with the food, I'm not sure if I should describe this place as a boba shop that serves food? Or a food place that serves Açaí , etc? Well, they do both! We had the food and loved it. I had the grilled pork sandwich and was impressed! The bun was crispy outside just like a banh mi sandwich. Inside was sauce, cilantro , carrots and daikon and that sweet tasty meat. The wife had garlic noodles... everything was yummy! There really isn't much room in this place so if they are busy, be ready for takeout. Parking is also a hassle because it is right next to a very busy Trader Joe's. Plenty of parking ... just VERY busy!! No ambiance to speak of, plain, simple, and clean. We will return PS with a name like "Nguyen" you'd think Vietnamese food like pho? Nope. Viet fusion would be a better description... and No Pho on the menu read more

Vibe: Very clean, modern, and easy for a quick lunch. It's also two businesses in one space: Nguyen's Kitchen is on the left toward the back, and PÜR Bowls is on the right (açaí and build your own bowls). What I ordered: Bulgogi ribeye steak sandwich. The bread was soft and warm, and I loved the fresh herbs and carrots. The steak was a little on the chewy side, but the sauce helped a lot and pulled the flavors together. Kid order: Egg rolls. Super crispy. Service: The woman behind the counter was very nice, and they thanked us when we walked out, which I appreciated. Overall (3 stars): A solid, pleasant lunch with kind service, it just didn't really stand out for me. I'd come back if I was nearby, and I'm especially curious to try PÜR Bowls because the topping options looked really good. read more

Stopped in there for lunch with friends. three of us and we each order an entree. My bill was $31.00 - i ordered a drink which was self serve - i tried to get ice out of the machine and it kept grinding and grinding..i tried several times and for a decent time. two employees stood there and watched..i financially said I think something is wrong with the machine it's not dispensing ice, could you get me some ice. the girl walked away and said under her breath "just takes patience" I said, "I beg your pardon did you say something" she denied and I asked her again. I guess she didn't realize I heard her. if she was my employee she would be fired on the spot read more

I REALLY wanted some good noodles, and I found this place on Yelp. Really nice establishment, very clean. They had many different options, noodles and nice. I got 2 bowls, one with bulgogi meat and one with shrimp. (Then when I got home I put half the meat on one and vice versa so it was steak and shrimp). The noodles were delicious and I'm glad I added the steak and shrimp. The bulgogi was very flavorful and had a tiny crunch from the sesame seeds. The shrimp was tasty, I wish it was peeled though. One the side it looks like they had an ice cream bar, or gelato, not sure but it looked good! And the customer service was 10/10. Definitely recommend and plan to be back! read more

I love Nguyen's kitchen coffee but their food is also not to be missed! I got the shrimp garlic noodles which are amazing. Also can't skip their crawfish pasta!

Nguyen’s Kitchen - Chicken Ba Minh House Marinated Chicken Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Fast casual Vietnamese fusion? Sweet (literally). My little one had an oddly specific craving for garlic noodles, so we decided to indulge him. I've had pretty mediocre experiences at other Nguyen's locations, but was hopeful walking into this one. The vibe was really simple and modern! Service was prompt and friendly. There are two separate counters here -- one for the smoothie bowls, and one towards the back for Nguyen's. Prices are a little steep considering the quality. A banh mi costs about $11 and tasted delicious (the grilled pork is possibly the best protein on the menu), though the texture of the baguette and the veggies didn't quite hit. Garlic sauce to the rescue! That sauce is so good. The Cajun fries with bulgogi were pretty basic, meat was tender and super marinated (their bulgogi marinade is tasty but heavily on the sweet side) and the fries seemed not too fresh and were unfortunately served cold. Garlic sauce to the rescue! And my toddler's plain garlic noodles with no protein were $10 and were like extra tangy and ferment-y. Like I swear by fish sauce, but these noodles were legit drowning. Garlic sauce wasn't gonna save these guys. Vietnamese coffee wasn't bad. All in all, our family of four ate for about $65. Not the cheapest, but could be worse. Overall would give them another try. read more

I came here for a Yelp event (to the Pur Bowls side) and obviously saw Nguyen's Kitchen attached. What really caught my eye is that they are open until 1am. My husband works nights and is always looking for places open late to eat. He and our son went there last night and he liked it so much that he had me pick it up for our dinner tonight. Not super big on these types of sandwiches but I did try a bite and it was alright. I really enjoyed the cilantro in it though. I got the garlic noodles and they were very good. read more

I didn't realize this was a chain. Had the one in Carson. First time to the Long Beach location. Quality of rice, steak, fries - excellent! Juicy, good portions, lots of flavor. Not too much seating but it wasn't too crowded. Padded seats and bench. We were right under the air conditioner though so it was a bit cold. read more

Nguyen’s Kitchen - Cajun Garlic Fries Bulgogi Short Rib Steak Bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was impressed by their sliders last time, and I am surprised that their bulgogi steak sandwich is even better. There is a perfect balance among the delicately shaved carrot and daikon slices and well-marinated grilled meat. That's topped off with a generous amount of cilantro, and the mysterious dipping sauce is even better than icing on the cake. NK shares the same staff with Pure Bowl, but they do a good job shuttling between the two registers. I can imagine it can get pretty hectic at times. The dining area was clean and the furniture very comfortable. Having a bony butt, I appreciate a cushioned seating surface. read more

Nguyen’s Kitchen - Bulgogi sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Came here because the pictures on their Yelp make their food look delicious. It's a cool front that does food food, and Acai bowls. The workers were super nice, and the place was clean. Golden Bao - I could survive off these. These were delicious. Packed with flavor. Fried. Mmm. Garlic pasta with chicken, and the steak sandwich - these lacked flavor for me. These felt like a quick 5 minute lunch you at make at home. They weren't bad, just lacked a bit of flavoring. Very very basic taste. Added some flavor by dipping the brown golden bao sauce on the sandwich is it was pretty good! read more

Checking out the new Nguyen's Kitchen. Ordered the bulgogi sandwich, garlic noodles with pork, and a Thai tea. They have comfortable seating inside and a small outdoor seating area as well. The Thai tea was very good, on the top end of the spectrum for Thai teas in Long Beach. The bulgogi sandwich was good, but missing a little something in terms of flavor. It needed a good pickle or something acidic to offset the richness of the meat. With the green sauce poured on it was better. Last but not least, the garlic noodles with pork were very good and definitely something I would have again. This location also has a Pur bowls on site for your acai fix. read more

Stopped by for dinner and got the Garlic noodles with grilled pork and an egg, added sriracha. I thought it would already be cooked in the garlic but you have to add your own. They give you a garlic aioli to add to your noodles. I'm not an aioli fan, so I just went with sriracha. It was still pretty good, but not as seasoned as it could've been. The staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Delicious fast casual concept! Garlic noodles aren't that common or popular in NY so I didn't know until I moved here that it's a uniquely Vietnamese American creation from San Francisco.

I've been waiting for them to be open!! And I walked by and they were open!!! They are currently doing their soft opening!!!!! The service was quite quick!! And have nothing bad to say but I'll say to anyone be a bit patient cuz they are new :))). The inside has lots of seating and also had a few tables outside!!! Your choice :))) I just got the garlic models with shrimp. My opinion I'll give it a 8/10. I wish it was had more of a garlic taste!! The green sauce was good as well but wish it was spicy. Maybe next time I'll get some sauce Overall, can't give them a 5 star until I try more stuff :))). But I will say I am a big fan of purr bowls!!!! read more

I've only ever ordered from Nguyen's kitchen on DoorDash/postmates, but the food here is delicious. The green sauce is soooo good and pairs wells with all their dishes. Portions are HUGE! $17 for their garlic noodles with protein can seem hefty but depending how much you eat, it can be split between 2-3 days. This place seems to be Asian fusion food. If you have no clue what to eat for lunch or dinner, I think Nguyen's Kitchen is the perfect choice for you. There's so much variety in their menu! read more

Garlic noodles with grilled pork has thin sauce on the bottom of our tray . Beef banh mi was okay not the best banh mi but it has a lot of the pickled vegetables which I love.

What a great Asian fusion food spot. Found this place on a whim. I was looking for something different than my normal food spots. Once I saw this place had garlic noodles I knew I had to try. Ordered the garlic noodles with scrimp and bulgogi bowl. Also added an order of egg rolls. Everything tasted and smelled fresh. It was a generous portion of food. My mom and I shared it for lunch and dinner. We definitely would order again to go. read more

This place is more like a cafeteria than a restaurant. Order at the counter, I received my meal on a tray. Disposable dinnerware. Bus your own tray. Prices were kind of high for that kind of service. I ordered the garlic noodles. It was good but I paid the same at a nicer downtown restaurant with full service and the portions were actually larger. So, this is a nice place. The food was good but based on its cafeteria ambiance, minimal service and high prices, I can't give it a rating as high as would give some of the actual Thai restaurants in Long Beach. There are a lot of them to choose from so make a wise decision. They also have an adjoining counter that sells frozen dessert cups. I have a similar opinion for those prices. Sorry Nguyen! read more

New spot in town and I had a good experience here. The food was tasty, and the service was great. The space was bright, clean, and open. I enjoyed the flavor of the shrimp.
