My sister-in-law ordered takeout for our visit today and it was all fresh, hot, flavorful, delicious! My favorites were the string beans and the filet mignon! The house made flat noodles were yummy with great texture, and the tofu eggplant dish was also good! They entrees come with hot Chinese mustard on the side as well as chili oil. Watch out! The mustard is hot enough to clear your sinuses! The order was ready on time at noon and we were enjoying it by 12:20! read more

Nomad Asian Bistro - My plate ;) why family style rocks - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

I''m surprised by other patrons saying they've been glutened here -- not to say that didn't happen to them, but I've ordered from Nomad for years and they've been extremely careful. I believe the owner is celiac or has a family member that is. Always really delicious, high quality food here that gets prepared fast. I am from Asia and I always really miss the food -- Nomad has some items like the chow fun and bok choy that are basically what I'd get back home. Everything is family style and the portions are huge, and can last two people an entire week. They also have additional items on the menu that you can ask to be gluten free if you call. Ambiance is nice and family-friendly, and in a spot where you can always find parking. Huge tables and you're never waiting long. read more

Nomad is a super solid place for halal Chinese food. The menu is pretty big and has a large variety of different items. Our table ordered hot and sour soup, egg corn soup, chow mein, fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, garlic chicken, Kung pao chicken, and filet mignon with black pepper sauce. The hot and sour soup, egg corn soup, and honey walnut shrimp were exceptional and must orders. The Kung pao chicken and filet mignon with black pepper sauce were very good as well. I'd say you can pass on the chow mein, fried rice, and garlic chicken--they weren't bad and still enjoyable, but I'd say the other items are way better. Portion sizes here are generous and I'd say they're good to have family style. The ambiance here is super casual and gives family restaurant vibes. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and I'd say the ambiance outside looks nicer. Service here is friendly and attentive. It is located in a fairly large plaza with a lot of parking. read more

How is it that I have never reviewed our favorite Chinese Restaurant in LB? Everything on the menu screams different variations UMAMI! All hot, fresh, delicious! Today we were approaching hangry, and knew that if we ordered a lunch special, we'd get delicious soup almost instantly, and we'd have leftovers for dinner! My partner was craving the kung pao tofu which blends with the brown rice beautifully, as does my order, the Chili Chicken, so garlicky and tender. We were also craving the spicy green beans, the perfect blend of crunchy and tender, spicy with the perfect touch of sweet! Be sure to consider some of our other favorites: the hand made chow mein (noodles alive and freshly made), the beef is simply crazy tender and lovely, ANY of the vegetables and tofu, and all their soups are to die for. They make their own ginger ale; but if you are wanting to boost your immunity or simply avoid the sugar syrup, I paid for a ginger ale but requested just the ginger juice (super hot and strong), and drank half and chased it with my diet coke and poured the rest in my soda for a ginger diet coke with lemon (yum). So much parking, trader joes next door if you need groceries, family owned and run, and OH, by the way, it's all HALAL (i.e.,) no pork dishes read more

I have Celiac disease and came here on 7/13/26 after seeing it hyped online that they offer gluten-free options. My husband ordered the gluten-free beef chow fun ($15.95.) I asked the waitress if they cook the gluten-free noodles in fresh water to prevent cross contamination because not all noodles that they offer are gluten-free. She said she'd check and then came back and said yes. My husband got the gluten-free lunch portion of short ribs for $17.50. The soup that comes with the lunch specials isn't gluten-free. I got the gluten-free Mongolian beef for $22.00 and a side of small rice for $1.95. Food tasted great and the portions were generous. Unfortunately I had the worst glutening symptoms of my life afterward that have included more than a day of elevated blood pressure right after eating and 3 days of diarrhea. I can't say that it was 100% this place because that cyclosporiasis parasite is going around (and I had green smoothies more than a week ago) but the timing is suspicious. I also noticed that there wasn't one of those "employees must wash hands" signs in the bathroom. I hope I'm wrong and I didn't get glutened here but it was not even 30 minutes later that I started to feel glutening symptoms. I really hope they take cross contamination seriously because gluten-free Asian food is rare. read more

The ambience was lovely, the food was good, the service was friendly, and the portions were generous. Overall, we had a good dining experience, but there was one thing that really bothered us. We were still dining around 8:00 PM when the staff started cleaning the tables with bleach. The smell was extremely strong and made it uncomfortable to continue eating. We ended up quickly finishing our dinner and leaving because the bleach odor was overwhelming. I understand that cleaning is necessary, but I feel it would be better to do this after guests have finished dining, especially while the restaurant is still serving customers. Other than that, we enjoyed the food, service, and ambience. read more

Nomad is the best local Chinese Food! We ordered to go frequently and occasionally we dine in. Take out orders travel well, packed to keep the food piping hot! Leftovers reheated very well (take out ir dine in). The quanities are very generous and we usually get several meals out of one order! This visit we dined in. We ordered some of our favorites as it was only two if us dining. Their Hot & Sour Soup is the best in town! Mongolian Beef and Honey Walnut Shrimp are two main dishes we again. Both were excellent! House Fried Rice (includes shrimp, chickenn and beef) is a great choice! Service is always friendly and amazingly fast! Food is freshly prepared. Our server was Mary and she checked on us often. We come here at least a few times a month, definitely coming back soon! read more

Excellent food and I don't normally like Chinese food. And plenty of it. We got the lunch special and didn't even eat half. It was not the typical gravy that has the same flavor. Very tasty. The service was very good. Friendly and pretty quick. A little rustic but clean. read more

My family went here on a Saturday night around 6 as a party of 5. We were immediately seated but by the end of our time there, the inside of the restaurant was pretty much full (they have a fair amount of outdoor seating too). Food came out in a good time, especially considering there was a large party having a birthday party at the same time. We ordered a number of entrees and 2 appetizers. Everything was pretty good with my standouts being the hand-pulled noodles and the tofu & shiitake mushroom entree. You could tell the hand-pulled noodles were fresh and made by hand. The sauce on it was good but too salty. The tofu & shiitake dish was served in a savory and tasty home/brown sauce. The scallion pancake was good as well, just much thinner than other scallion pancakes. The Chinese broccoli was good, but I thought it was more bitter than usual Chinese broccoli dishes. The fried rice was okay. read more

Todat is Valentines Day! I have been sleeping on this establishment for years. I did not know there was a chinese food restaurant in this area. This place is hidden! The only way I found this restaurant was through youtube. There was an old Asian couple that gave this place high praises in their YouTube review. Kudos to that couple for doing so! This is the only reason why I wanted to check this place out myself. Entered this establishment and was greeted by the host. She sat us down next to the glass windows. Asked what we wanted to order for drinks, I stated a Coke and some water. Minutes passed, received our beverages. Water tasted good! Ordered from the Lunch Special menu which was only $15. That is a great deal! It comes with soup, entree and your choice of rice (white rice or brown rice with egg). This Lunch Special starts at the time of opening to 3pm. 7 days a week! Excluding federal holidays. Entrees ordered was snowpea chicken and some beef peppers. The taste and presentation did not dissapoint. They serve you alot of food for being a Lunch Special. The quality is fresh! Overall all I was impressed pertaining to quantity and quality. The ambiance does not have fancy decor or tables/chairs. The place was old school. I felt like I was in the 80s. Lots of parking. Big Kudos to Mary for being so nice. She was busy but still manages to be patient. The only thing that was missing and would like to see is for this place giving free tea out of courtesy. That would be a nice complimentary add to customers. Thumbs up to this chinese restaurant! read more

Nomad Asian Bistro - Kung pao tofu & eggplant - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

We love going to Nomad for our big family dinners. They are so great about reserving a large table to accommodate our family, usually at least 10 people. The restaurant is busy and bustling, but we are still able to have conversations at the table. The food comes out quickly and accurately. They are able to accommodate additional orders within a reasonable amount of time and we never leave hungry for sure! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Make sure you get the walnut shrimp (YUM) and the ginger beer drink (TASTY)!! We have not had anything that doesn't taste fresh and "homemade". We are looking forward to visiting again in December!! read more

This is a big place with a lot of seating. Some close friends told us about this place, and I made it high time for us to come in for a visit. This place serves traditional Chinese but doesn't have pork. Why you ask? This restaurant is a Chinese Islamic restaurant. They have Arabic artwork and it really works well with everything on the walls. Before I get to the food, I wanted to write about the help. A waitress named Mary came by and sat with us, helping us out figure out what combination of dishes we should have. She was a nicest, most personable person I have ever met. She looked after us from beginning to end. Since my partner wanted the Jalapeño shrimp, we got veggie fried rice, broccoli beef, and chicken chow mein. Before that, she wanted a pair of veggie egg rolls that came with a dip and she really enjoyed them. The food came out, but I waited for everything to come out. It was an amazing array of food that we took into the next day. Everything was great. Chewy and crunchy broccoli, flavorful chow mein, and soft rice. Pricewise, it was just right and i gave this place a great tip . I will definitely come back, and it's nice to know I can move away from express Chinese food for some time now. read more

Average Chinese Food. The Wonton Soup was decent. It has a dark broth. It was like a War Wonton because it had a bunch of different things in it. The dumplings had nearly nothing inside of them, more like a clump of noodle. The General Tso's Chicken was alright. The Mongolian Beef was a bit sinuey. If we came back we'd all for the Filet Mignon with the Mongolian sauce. read more

Long Beach: Easy parking in this sizable attractive restaurant with an extensive menu of flavorsome Chinese food using the freshest of ingredients. I recommend eating here with a herd so you can try more dishes. It was just two of us so it was hard to narrow it down without reinforcements. Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken: So tender with a sauce that was drinkable. We tried. It was a toss up between that and the Filet Mignon. Next time we will go in beef mode. We both took home plenty of leftovers. Scallion pancakes: Four massive pieces of deliciousness. Oily on the fingers/worth it. I recommend a minimum of four people or it's going to follow you home as well. Service was immediate and personable. The food came out timely and piping hot. We were there around 8 PM on a Monday so it was fairly quiet. For the size of this restaurant, I could see it getting very busy and loud/Still worth it. It seemed as though we were the only ones who did not order the sesame flatbread. Yes, I do visual food cruises incognito. Again, we'll just have to bring hungry reinforcements next time. No alcohol, but no shortage of places for beer and spirits nearby. BevMo is a neighbor. read more

I visited this establishment with my mother for evening rations. This was my mother's second visit but my first visit. My mother was happier with this establishment than I was. We were seated and ordered lamb and shrimp. We each ate some lamb and shrimp. A bowl of white rice was also served. I thought that the shrimp was satisfactory and the lamb was good. We were not able to eat all that was served so we took the uneaten portions home in "to go" containers. Men's washroom was satisfactory and paper towels were available... good. The ambient noise level was VERY high which made it extremely difficult to carry on a conversation so I am going to ding this establishment one point. I noticed that at least some of the men who worked at this establishment failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider that to be highly unprofessional so I am dinging this establishment one point for that reason. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would be in there solid with a C. read more

Came here for dinner around 8:45pm last Friday since my friends and I were working on a project nearby. Surprisingly they still let us dine in and the restaurant still remained open with other new customers coming in as we were eating. We were immediately seated and the server was really kind. We were a group of 5 and I definitely did not expect the portion sizes... they were HUGE! It's hard to tell in my pictures but trust me! All of the food was so delicious and flavorful, it's hard to choose a favorite. Everything came out to be steaming hot. It was roughly $20 per dish but the price is WORTH it considering it was very much shareable family style. We had leftovers for 2 days! Definitely would come back here again!! read more

Parking - Plenty of it since they are located in the back of the shopping center. Food - The homemade chow main was delicious! We added beef as our protein and I would definitely order this again. The garlic Chinese broccoli was a little too bitter for my taste as there were more stems than the leafy greens. Service - They are very serious about the closing time, so make sure to arrive early. They don't stay open beyond the time for people who are already inside and dining. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for some time. My first impression is not good. It feels dirty. Not comfortable at all, tables with a cheap vinyl cover. Condiments in the tables have a slimy film on them obviously not cleaned in some time. We should have left but thought the food may be different. We ordered Braised Shrimp (average), Cashew chicken (fast food quality) and Combo Fried Rice (Gross). There were pieces of beef in the rice that were dried out and had a bad taste as if food stored in a freezer the quickly thawed. Overall it was a huge disappointment. Gross, dirty. And they come to your table in hurry making us feel like we need to hurray and get out so that can seat others and make more money. Very Bad!! Look at the "inside" photos on yelp. That will explain read more

They have so many gluten-free options! My friend group includes someone with celiac disease and another person with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Bonus: the restaurant is also Halal. Our food was flavorful. The service the day we went was a bit "meh," but it seemed like the waitress was the same person taking orders and running the food, so I can give some grace. When she did interact with us, she was very attentive. read more

Food can be fantastic or completely bland depending on the day. Generally everything is pretty good! Weekends are best! Decor could be better and because they are Halal there's no pork on the menu. Lots of vegetarian options. My favorite server Mary is the bomb.com. Overall great value and portion sizes! read more

Nomad Asian Bistro is by far one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. Although I feel that it verges on Indo Chinese. I've been a regular there since at least 2017. It is located near PCH and Second Street in Long Beach, a couple hundred feet from BevMo, in the Same Plaza. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. It is a Mother-Daughter owned restaurant and was established in 2013. Jamilla Ma, the mother has an extensive experience in Asian cooking and a passion for combining classic flavors with contemporary techniques. They offer Asian cuisine with influences from China's Hui culture and a focus on fresh, handmade items like their Thin Sesame Flatbread. It is also the only Halal Chinese Restaurant in North America. So, they do not serve pork nor do they offer alcoholic beverages. The quality of their food draws people from all corners of SoCal and beyond. Dinner is always the busiest time and during the month of Ramadan, you can expect to wait an hour or more unless you show up an hour before breaking fast. The restaurant is spacious but yet Cozy. The lighting is comfortable and the earth tones on the walls as well as the simple Chinese decor makes the space very inviting. The setting is casual and family friendly. Noise level is moderate to very loud depending on the day and time. They have a large Tv on the wall with close caption that no one watches. They only serve family style meals. So, it is best to go with 2 or more people or take the family or a group of friends. Otherwise you may have lots of left overs. Every dish is large enough for 2-3 people. On a summer night, I Love sitting on their open air patio that is lit by string lights, while sharing a meal with friends and family under the stars. I could not start by describing the amazing menu. It is extensive and has every Chinese food dish imaginable. Beef, chicken, seafood, vegetarian, rice dishes, hand made noodles and endless combinations and flavors. I'm sure that I'm missing some things. (See pictures for actual full menu) They use the freshest ingredients and everything is made in house. They also have some delicious beverages such as the fresh pressed Ginger ale and their seasonal Peach Ice tea. The List goes on. Some of My favorite items on the Menu are the Hot and sour soup which is full of mushrooms, The orange chicken, The Pineapple fried rice with beef chicken and shrimp, The Pepper Mushroom beef and the chili Chicken. Everything is so delicious. The hand made noodles are a must. The service has always been great and prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Nomad Asian Bistro for anyone who has not tried them yet. Happy Eating!!! read more

In a desolate forgotten area surrounded by newness. I read something along those lines on Yelp which guided me here. Had been meaning to go here after a friend told me they had gluten free Chinese marked on their menu. I went with my teenager and his friends. We each ordered a lunch special which came with a choice of soup. We all got egg drop, which had little veggies in it. I think that's a first. It was very good. And then we shared family style. For me this was a blessed experience because we could share and I never eat Chinese food because it's not worth being poisoned. The staff was both friendly and attentive. They had a robot that carried the dishes out- to mostly our table. Seemed to be programmed to our section which was cute. Oh, there's more food for us! J/k We had leftovers and we loved it all. read more

Nomads is, and always will be, our go-to spot when we're craving Chinese food! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by some of the friendliest staff around. They always remember us and even know our usual order, which makes every visit feel a little more personal. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and served surprisingly fast. We have yet to have a disappointing meal here. Our family favorites are the beef and broccoli, handmade chow mein, and orange chicken, each one packed with flavor and cooked perfectly every time. The portions are generous and ideal for family-style dining, with plenty to share and usually enough left over for lunch the next day. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back again and again. Highly recommend! read more

Nomad is our go to Asian restaurant in Long Beach. We've been coming here for years but finally decided to do a review. They have options to accommodate different dietary needs, such as Halal, gluten free and vegetarian. Some of our favorites are honey walnut shrimp, black bean sole filet, scallion pancakes, fried rice and spicy green beans. For drinks they have a legit Thai tea, really good fresh pressed ginger ale and Diet Coke (yay for the fountain!). The restaurant has a big dining area and can accommodate big parties (get a reservation). During the day, you can sit outside. They also make prayer rugs available. read more

Unassuming restaurant in a quiet corner of a pretty sparse mall; the kind of place that you'd walk past and not notice it. I'm sure glad to have found this place! We came here during the lunch hours and they serve lunch specials 7 days a week! While we were browsing the menu, one of the wait staff came over and checked on us if we were ready and asked if it was our first time there (yes). She recommended getting a couple of items from the lunch menu if we like to have a few dishes since the portions are pretty big and the lunch items get you the most bang out of your buck. Very sound advice! The lunch menu featured a good selection of dishes and we ended getting the honey walnut shrimp, filet mignon with black pepper sauce and kung pao three flavor (beef, chicken, shrimp). Each dish came with a soup and either white/brown rice or upgrade to egg fried rice. We got the egg drop soup as well as the hot sour soup and they were both tasty! We upgraded the egg fried rice and wow... quite impressed with the egg fried rice here. I was expecting the usual plain, white, mild egg fried rice but what came out was a brown-ish looking egg fried rice that's just so tasty! Of course the main dishes themselves were also outstanding! I really liked the juiciness and black pepper flavor of the filet mignon, the crispness of the walnut shrimp and the umami of the kung pao three flavor. I definitely would recommend each one of these dishes. We also got the fresh pressed ginger ale, which is the perfect, refreshing thirst quencher! Tasty food and great service.. what's not to like! read more

It was my birthday Friday dinner, and it was my turn to choose what I wanted to eat. I picked Nomad because the food is consistently delicious and the service is always friendly. Plus I love the fusion of Mediterranean and Chinese. The portion sizes are pretty large, too. I ordered shrimp chow mein and steamed wontons, and I still have part of the chow mein left in the refrigerator three days later. We always order in on Friday nights, so I can't really comment too much on the atmosphere, but the food was ready by the time I arrived, even though I walked in a few minutes early. It's much easier to get to Nomad than it is to find parking on Second St or to have to pay for parking at 2nd and PCH. I will pick Nomad every time I get the chance! read more

It's easy to see why this spot has over a thousand reviews and maintains a solid four-star rating--the food is genuinely high quality; I gave it five stars! While the shopping complex it's located in has clearly seen better days and could use a serious facelift, don't let that deter you. The exterior may not be well-maintained, but this is a must try spot. First off, there's plenty of parking, largely due to several nearby stores being closed. Once inside, the vibe was lively. A decent crowd was enjoying their meals, and a couple of TVs were playing Disney movies on Freeform, adding a relaxed, nostalgic touch. Despite it being a busy afternoon, the staff did their best to stay attentive. One small note: the water wasn't ice cold, but still refreshingly cooler than room temperature. Their lunch specials, priced around $15-$18, are a solid deal and is available everyday. Each comes with their daily soup--today's was Hot and Sour, which was more flavorful than most of its type--and a choice of white or brown rice. I recommend upgrading to the Egg Fried Rice for an extra $2; it's absolutely worth it. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Shrimp and the Short Ribs, the latter being the must-try based on rave Yelp photos. The short ribs were bold and peppery, prepared in a slightly unconventional style, but I really enjoyed them. Surprisingly though, the Sweet and Sour Shrimp stole the show for me. Lightly crispy and coated in a perfectly balanced sauce, pairing beautifully with my Egg Fried Rice. With so many tempting dishes still to try, I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Delicious Chinese food with a unique menu. Have never had halal Chinese food but this place does not disappoint. Everything was flavorfully well-balanced--no overpowering tastes. The stewed ox tail had a nice sweet and tangy flavor to it and the oxtail itself was "fall off the bone" tender--a family favorite. The black pepper stir fried sole fish was a little oily but definitely a good choice. The honey ginger wings were mildly sweet, couldn't really taste the ginger and I wish it was crispier but still not bad. Servers have good energy/attitude. Will be back to try more! read more

Nomad Asian Bistro - Sweet & sour chicken - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Overall: 3.8/5 Ordered takeout over the phone. Like many Asian restaurants, there are many options to choose from. Service was very friendly and welcoming. Ordered the following dishes: - Spicy Wonton Chili Oil: More tangy than spicy. It is basically submerged in the chili oil, way more than at other places. Not saying bad or good, just the way they prepare it. - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup: Very flavorful beef broth. The braised beef was tender. The regular noodles were the perfect texture for me, too soft and not too firm. Some heat to the broth but not very spicy at all. Very good dish, would personally like more spicy. - Black Pepper Filet Mignon: The tenderness and texture of the beef varied from piece to piece. Not sure if it's because of the way they "velvet" the beef. Overall, not a bad dish but not what I was expecting. Restaurant seems to have nice space inside with friendly staff. The food was good enough to come back another time and try some other dishes. read more
