Nguyen's Kitchen

I came here after a sold out show right across the parking lot, basically, at the Observatory. We ordered Garlic Chicken Breast Garlic Noodles, Jumbo Tiger Shrimp Garlic Noodles, Cajun Garlic Fries with a fried egg and bulgogi short rib steak added on top. I wanted to order a bowl or a sandwich but they informed me that they were close to closing time and couldn't make exactly what I wanted. We chose Fresh Strawberry Agave Lemonade and Cucumber Limeade for drinks and those were very refreshing - and they even let us have a free refill. Everything was awesome and buttery. Their green sauce is really good, I kind of wanted to drink it. Add ketchup and sriracha for even more flavor. Very nice staff if you want to order in-person and ask questions, or there's a kiosk to order on if you don't feel like interacting with anyone. Service was pretty quick and nothing took more than 10 minutes to come out. Plenty of table seating and everything extra you need is available to grab on your own like napkins, condiments, and utensils (chopsticks or fork and spoon).

The food was delicious but there was one thing that came out with a terrible portion and that was the popcorn chicken. We ordered the Ban Mi steak and pork sandwhiches and the garlic noodles which was delicious and I would highly recommend. However, when I asked for a refund because I did not think the portion size was fair for $7.50, the manager appeared to be very irritated and upset. I felt like I was causing an inconvenience but I did not want to pay for something if I did not feel the quality and quantity was worth it. There was a lot of breading scraps and not reallt any popcorn chicken. The dining area inside is not very spacious to eat in. But we dined outside and it was nice and peaceful there at night. Overall, the food was great except for the popcorn chicken, and the service was poor to be honest. I added a picture of our serving for reference.

Had high hopes, food for late night business traveler wasn't worth the drive. Had the bulgogi beef garlic noodles. Beef was too chewy, meaning I expect a little chewiness in bulgogi beef but this was too chewy and not very flavorful. The noodles were basic as were the vaunted garlic fries, which I promptly went and bought McDonald's fries to replace for my fry craving. I hate to knock a little joint like this but was honestly hoping for some legit late night noodles with authentic flavors and it disappointed in my opinion. The staff were decently friendly and offered up a few samples, so to the extent there was a high point, it was the staff. The inside was clean but basic in terms of seating. There was an acai bowl bar that was well stocked with toppings but that wouldn't be worth the trip unless you were really itching for one late at night. I ended up wishing I had a Carl's Jr. Burger or something more satisfying after a long day of travel and work.

I order a garlic noodle with house chicken and a milk tea. Good food and great service. The noodle is aldante and great to bite into. Slightly salt for my taste. And the chicken is fantastic. It using chicken thighs meat so it is flavorful, incredible to bite into and chewing it is incredible. I also order a milk tea, and the tea flavour is not out of the world but not a bad flavor, little sweet for me, but acceptable. This is more like modern food place with more self servir and no real server. But i think that ok. My total is $18. To me not a bad deal.

This place just opened and it's a must try!! The cashier was super friendly and helped me order based on the photos that I found from other reviews. She even offered me some samples of the various teas that they have. I would recommend the Watermelon Blueberry. I would also recommend the Cajun Garlic Fries with Bulgogi Short Rib Steak as it was amazing. I highly recommend giving this place a try.
