NAM Kitchen in Gardena

Surprisingly elegant Vietnamese Bistro with appetizers such as great golden egg rolls with lettuce and dipping sauce. The marinated cucumbers were garlicky and tangy with a splash of Chinese sesame oil. We also enjoyed the garlic noodles with some tasty grilled giant prawns with an interesting green dipping sauce.

Very good Vietnamese food and also tasted a little bit different from other Vietnamese places Ive been to....not sure why, like I was eating Vietnamese food with a twist I mean in a good way. Big portion, interesting menu both food and drinks, and food also came out pretty quick. Their condiment jars are also different like higher quality of hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce they use. They also have this delicious chili oil/paste with star anise that you can literally put on anything and it will take those dishes to another level. I think their pho was pretty good with that chili oil/paste added but the dish that surprsied me was oxtail fried rice. Highly recommended!

NAM Kitchen is hands down the best pho place in the South Bay! As someone with very high standards for Vietnamese pho, usually only eating it in Little Saigon at Westminster or Garden Grove, I can say the food here is exceptional. The ingredients are fresh and of high quality. The soup base is perfectly balanced, slightly on the sweeter side, which I love. This pho is free of MSG and still incredibly flavorful. The service is amazing, with staff frequently checking in to ensure everything is satisfactory.The pho portions are just right, with a generous amount of meat. Be sure to try their drinks, especially the Coco Matcha. The Oxtail Fried Rice, which is surprisingly delicious and full of flavor with its special sauce. Although the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality and portion sizes make it totally worth it. I will definitely be returning in the future.Quick tips: NAM Kitchen is located in the same plaza as other restaurants like Aloha Pizza, The Tossup, and Pita 360. There are plenty of parking spots available.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at NAM Vietnamese Restaurant during their soft opening, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal.As for the food, it was simply outstanding. We ordered the crispy pork belly roll, oxtail fried rice, and ribeye steak garlic noodles cooked to a perfect medium rare. Each dish was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared, showcasing the chef’s skill and dedication to quality.To top it all off, we enjoyed a refreshing Vietnamese iced latte that was the perfect ending to a delightful meal. Overall, NAM Vietnamese Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way, and I can’t wait to return for another fantastic dining experience.

Very nice place for a night out with your beloved ones. I have vegan pho & my bf had chili wontons. Service & environment are really good.Honestly, vegan Pho here is not good, just average comparing to other vegan pho at different Viet restaurants in Westminster or Little Saigon. It’s pale & not flavorful enough. Topping is boring. Recommendation for the restaurant, you guys should spend some more time to make a good broth.

I recently visited NAM Kitchen, a Vietnamese restaurant in Gardena, and found it to be a welcoming spot. The interior has a modern, inviting feel that sets a pleasant tone right from the start.The menu offers a variety of appealing dishes. The House Chicken Wings were a highlight for me—crispy, well-seasoned, and larger than usual, offering good value. Another dish that stood out was the Golden Pear Salad; the combination of sweet pears, a savory dressing, and crunchy nuts made for an enjoyable mix of flavors.The standout dish of the evening was the Cajun Prawn Garlic Noodles. The prawns were perfectly cooked and the noodles had a nice cajun spice that wasnt overwhelming. Its worth noting that, as they are still in their soft opening phase, service was a bit slow, but the staff was friendly and made the wait feel shorter.To complement the meal, I tried the Lychee Peachee and June Lemon drinks, both of which were refreshing and tasted genuinely of their respective flavors.Overall, NAM Kitchen is a solid choice if youre in the area and looking for a tasty meal in a friendly setting. The staff makes a genuine effort to ensure a good experience, and Im interested to see how they grow.

This place is really good. The broth for the pho is delicious. Filet mignon is top rate. Prawn with garlic noodles the best Ive had. Staff is friendly and attentive. They really try hard to provide the best experience possible.

It’s a new establishment so they are still working out the kinks but overall a decent restaurant. I enjoyed the lychee peachee drink and my husband liked the shrimp spring rolls. However, I thought the rib bone pho could’ve been better. The three ribs that came with the pho were all bones and barely any actual meat. The plate of herbs was also very small offering only a little of the Thai basil.

This is our first time at this place and apparently it just opened and it’s very nice inside. The people and workers are great. The food is pretty fast and it’s great as well. I really liked the pear salad very healthy and of course the standard pho was amazing as well.

My friend told me about this place and wow! I got a brisket pho and a taro coffee. My friends and I shared a cucumber salad. Look at my picture, I finished EVERYTHING! So good.The broth was so flavorful, I usually add tons of oystter sauce and chili sauce, I ended up not adding anything. The taro coffee had nice balance of sweetness and flavor as well.I will definitely come back!
