Garlic noodles
Peter H.

TL;DR - good spot, nice for families. Grilled pork rice bowl and garlic noodles were delicious. Portion size was more controlled, so perfect if you don't eat much. Get an appetizer too if you are on the hungrier side! Decent spot! The service was good, speed was normal (waited 10ish minutes for the food to arrive), ambiance was nice too. Easy to hold a conversation and good place for kids. We got the garlic noodles with pork was good. Not amazing, not awful, but decent! Portion size was on the slightly smaller end for what I was hoping for but good thing my partner doesn't eat as much so I gobbled up their bowl too lol. Good flavors and made well. We also go the grilled pork rice bowl. The grilled pork sits on steamed jasmine rice, chopped lettuce, pickled carrots and daikon. Nice flavors and cooked well. Portion size was also on the controlled side. If I come here next time, I'll be getting myself a side to supplement the entree. I'd recommend both dishes. I'd get them again!

I stopped by Nguyen's Kitchen in Carson and grabbed both the pork and chicken rice bowls from their quick-service spot that's connected to Pur Bowl (an acai bowl place next door). The setup is pretty casual and convenient -- there's a dedicated parking lot right at the plaza so grabbing a bite is easy, even later in the evening since they're open late into the night.

Waited over 30 minutes for my food ... The meat was  raw when eating very disappointed ...... Never again !

Waited over 30 minutes to get my bowl .. Meat was raw as shown in photo .... Very disappointed !!

Best restaurant I eat at in this area. Whenever I'm down here. I make sure to grab food from here! Amazing flavor and very filling! The service is good and the ambiance of the place is great to pick up and/or eat there.

NK Slider Burger (2 pcs) - beef patties, grilled onions, mushrooms all grilled in bulgogi sauce

Yoooooooo! I stumbled upon this place since it is across the street from the 24 fitness. This place apparently stays open late. They have sliders, wings, fries, bowls, pastas and sandwiches! I ordered the sliders to try and they were really good! 2 for $7.95 and they have a jalapeño sauce that goes great with it! The service was friendly and they play some really good beats! If I was a college student.c I would be studying here. They have booths so it's great to hang at. In the same space, they serve healthy bowls using açaí bases as well as other ones! Quite a good mix! I'm definitely coming back to try out their other dishes!

My husband and I came here after discovering the IKEA across the street no longer has a cafeteria (very disappointing) however this place did not disappoint! We had the pork banmi and the beef bugoggi banmi . Both really good . But I would have liked a bit more veggies . Will ask for extra next time . Also if you like a sweetness to your meat get the buggogi otherwise get the pork.

Cajun Garlic Fries / Bulgogi Short Rib Steak Sandwich / Crawfish Pasta
Ashley V.

Pasta, sandwich, and fries are always my trio when I go to Nguyen's Kitchen! The cajun fries are perfectly seasoned and the green dipping sauce gives a nice cilantro-y kick to both the fries and the sandwich. The bulgogi short rib steak sandwich is like any other classic banh mi sandwich, but the crawfish pasta has such great flavors! Little spicy but makes you want to eat more with each bite! The service at this location is welcoming and pretty fast. I like how there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating provides a relaxing ambiance with music and nice lighting. I've been to several of the Nguyen's Kitchen locations, and I can say that this location is up to par with the ones in Orange and Long Beach. Flavor-wise and service-wise are both consistent. Definitely recommend, even for late night snacking, as these locations tend to be open pretty late!

Amazing time here !!! Service was was amazing. It's also actually self serve They also have an amazing patio out side...

I got home with my chicken bowl and the chicken was completely RAW. So disgusting, it even smelled spoiled.

Garlic Noodles with House chicken: yummy!
Travis W.

So much flavor in one bite! I'm so happy I got a chance to come here and enjoy the cool ambiance with such a kind and helpful staff. I got something that sounds so simple but it sure ended up bringing a smile to my tummy. I ordered the garlic noodles with house chicken and wow! The chicken was moist and juicy. And then followed the lovely garlicky flavor packed noodles. Great prices. Even greater experience.

Got the Bulgogi Bowl & wow! Very flavorful, great portions, and everything tasted so fresh. The staff were very nice and the place itself was very clean. I want to come back again and try their other dishes!

I'm allergic to shrimp, but can i still go and eat here (i saw that you had yakisoba noodles and i wanted some)?

Make sure to share your allergy and any concerns when you place your order and they will accommodate.

Does the beef bulgogi have onions in it?

Yes, the beef bulgogi sandwich has onions in it.

Wanted vermicelli noodles since I saw it on the menu and in the photos here on Yelp, however i called in and they were clueless and had no idea what that was. What is the mix up here, are there vermicelli noodles here?

Hi Michelle, vermicelli noodles and chicken breast are not available at our Carson and South Gate location. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is there outdoor seating and can I bring my dog?

Hi, we do have outdoor seating and you are welcome to bring your dog for outdoor seating

The best place for sullungtang in the south bay! This is my…read morego to place when I want a homey, comforting meal out. Food: I always order the lean brisket sullungtang when I'm here. I love coming here, as the food is consistently great. The brisket is really tasty and they give you a good portion of it. Soup is always hot, not lukewarm which I appreciate. I genuinely think their sullungtang is the best I've had! I was really happy that this time, they had purple rice. The past few times, they only had white rice, so this was such a great change! Not sure why they were out of the purple rice for so long, but glad that it's back! Banchans are great with unlimited refills! Service: the couple that runs this restaurant are welcoming with good customer service. Parking: This place is located in a plaza, so there are a lot of parking spots available right out front which makes it convenient. Overall, if you like Korean food and sullungtang, I would definitely recommend you come here!

Our favorite neighborhood sullungtang spot! It's in the corner of the Tokyo central plaza and…read moreservice is always so friendly (family run). Inside is really homey with good seating. We always get the Galbitang and it always hits the spot!! Their banchan compliments really nicely and they also provide complimentary barley tea with your meal. I don't need to add any salt or pepper to the Galbitang since it's already so flavorful and naturally sweet. Comes with the choice of purple or white rice. Have yet to try oth or dishes!
