I had been wanting to order food from here for a while but I only got a snack. I got the NK Sliders and the NK Wings. The sliders were decent but could definitely use a lot more of the toppings, but overall the flavor was decent and the bun was nice and soft. The wings were pretty good and I definitely enjoyed them. They had nice flavor and a good crunch but not too much if you like them crispy. My wife ordered the garlic noodles and those were good too. They gave a good amount and the flavor was good, not too much garlic. There are a couple more things that I would like to try, so stay tuned for updates.

First time trying Nguyens kitchen. The pictures looked great. The service was nice. But I was disappointed in the bulgogi with garlic noodles. The steak was very salty, and it lacked a bulgogi flavor I was expecting. My friend also thought his dish was meh. But the vietnamese ice coffee was good.

Came here for lunch with the family after shopping at Ikea. We ordered a few items to share. Chicken garlic noodles, popcorn chicken, fried buns, banh mi. They do the popcorn chicken right over here, would highly recommend!

This is a pretty solid place for a quick lunch. Interior design is quite lively, well-lit, and young. I think the only downside was that the food was a bit salty.I definitely recommend Crawfish pasta. It was spicier than it looked!Most definitely try their chicken wings. I think they are a bit pricy but the crisp coating is another level for sure!Rice bowls were okay.Food portion in general are decent size. Don’t order too much thinking that it won’t be filling :)Workers are very nice!

Chicken is made fresh. It comes with several different dipping sauces. Their wings are very simular to Albertsons chicken wings.

The food was very good. Looked up place on Yelp and saw the pictures of the food. The food tasted just as good as the pictures that were from other customers. Planning on returning with my family again.

I walk in read the menu. The young Lady with the pure bowl shirt, did not say anything she just looked me. Very awkward, I was undecided so i say hey this is my first time. Im still looking st the menu, I say again...this my first time what you you recommend? She recommend the sandwich. I get the chicken sandwich. I asked whats a good flavor drink? She said she do not know and Let sample mango...and they give free samples. No!! is this for here? or To go? I Asked for extra sauce and said it coke with extra sauce. So I asked if everything is okay? I replied if this my first time give your customers a explaintion and recommend item. So she replied I had a long day. Ok. Have a good day and Left. The food was great . Service could have been better. Next time Im trying the noodles.

Food was ok... We had egg rolls, good. The steak sandwich, we didnt care for. Garlic noodles were ok, kinda dry, but overall not bad.

Good ingredients equals tasty food. I had the pork sandwich. Not only was it good, but it didnt feel overly stuffed afterward. I recommend doing the Vietnamese coffee as well.

Visited this new spot with my mom. The ambience is clean and bright. They did just open, so you might find things misplaced and AC not working well.Regardless, the spot is only a 3 for me. My mom got garlic noodles with jumbo tiger prawns and thai tea. It was their most popular and the cashiers fave. The 5 pc shrimp is extra 8 bucks. The noodles themselves is the same amt. The prawns were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I enjoyed it but the garlic noodles did have a great flavor but it was aggressively seasoned.Thai tea is creamy and good. Hard to mess this one up.I got the crawfish pasta. The abundance of crawfish and sausage was great. Its creamy and a bit spicy, which i liked. It is also aggressively seasoned but the creaminess did cut through it a bit.I wish both dishes were a bit more balanced. It was savory and salty, so it needed some acid to balance it out.Peach Lychee Tea tasted like its green tea based and it was a bit bitter. Idk how they brewed it but this happens when you burn the tea. Maybe it was also premade. Was not a fan.Other than that, would give this place another try especially when PUR bowls open up. Would not try the foods we ordered though.

We ordered two premium salads. When starting to eat it I noticed an earthy taste and was getting worried it could be mold. Looking closely, sure enough theres mold in both salads. Not recommended, at least for salads :(

I had been eyeing this sport for a while. I was always attracted to their neon sign signifying they were open crazy late I always found that clever. I went yesterday, and it was my first time there. I ordered the garlic noodles with tiger shrimp and the popcorn chicken (spicy). The garlic noodle dish can either be a hit or a miss. This one for me was a miss, but I dont think it was for lack of care, more my preference on preparation. The popcorn chicken was tender on the inside and crispy to bite, but there was a lack of flavor. There wasnt really anything that made me jump out of my skin. My major knock on the spot was service. Its challenging when you go to a new place and there is no care into your personal experience. It would have been great to be asked if it was my first time in the restaurant or if I needed any recommendations or had any questions. I think this current culture is only concerned with clocking in, clocking out and getting their check. Nothing more. Its sad. I will go back to try something different. I think they just need more time to get used to being a new store in our area.

This place was good until they gave away my food and tried to blame me for their mistake, as if I would send someone to get double food for me. You guys messed up and gave away my order. Ok. So make it over, no big deal. Instead argue with me about it. You messed up and your customer service is terrible. Im never going here again. 1-star!

I love garlic noodles so I wanted to try this new location. I placed a phone order and it was ready in the time specified. The restaurant feels fresh with its AC so we ate there. The noodles were good, I added the grilled pork and I finished my whole plate. They give you garlic sauce to add if you want and it was tasty with a kick. I also saw that they make acai bowls so I would definitely want to try that next.

Food (4 stars): The food was delicious. I wanted to order everything on the menu because it looked so good!Service (4 stars): It was pretty late in the night when my family and I went and the staff was still welcoming and very patient with us (we took a bit to order). We also received our food pretty fast. They also have a açai bowl service attached, which is a plus is you want dessert afterwards!Ambiance: The place has a really casual vibe. Great for families.

Food is ok but way overpriced. Clean place but nothing special. Tried it, probably will not go back which is sad because we like to support neighborhood businesses.

As others mention, pretty solid choice for a quick lunch or dinner. Open late.Have gotten the Bulgogi Steak & Chicken Bowl, Garlic Noodles, and Chicken Banh Mi. Flavorful and consistent. The sauces (garlic cream sauce and a sweet soy sauce) served on the side level up the meal - suggest getting a few of each. Good clean alternative to fast food.

Came here today with my kids, it was pretty busy atmosphere! Im afraid my kids will get agitated with the line but next store was this pur bowl so the wait wasnt so bad. We met Jerico, I think hes the manager he was a wonderful host! We were welcomed warmly and he really did go out of his way to accommodate my kids wants. He trained his staff really good because our overall service was excellent! Although its pricey but it serves just right! We ordered jumbo shrimp and for the kids the garlic pasta and crawfish pasta, it was extremely delicious and well presented. This was a pleasant experience and we will sure be regulars!

Being that this shop is fairly new, it exceeded all my expectations. Theres always room for improvement, though. Atmosphere was welcoming enough where I could feel it. I showed up at 8pm and only a few people were there, so Im not sure how it is when theres a rush. Beautiful smiles were present when taking my order and any questions I had were answered promptly.I had their bulgogi short rib sandwich and it was a 5/5 for me. It was the perfect blend of meat and vegetables and the flavors were a perfect match. The bread was 4.5/5, though. Only because Ive had bánh mì where the bread had the perfect crunch to softness ratio when I lived in Seattle. The bread wasnt bad, though. It was still HELLA bomb. It just missed that crunch when you initially bite into a Vietnamese sandwich.I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

I tried the garlic noodles with shrimp. The pasta was soggy and overcooked. It was also oily. The 5 shrimps were an extra $7 and a bit expensive for five small shrimp. They were regular (small) shrimps. Very disappointing.

The Mango Chamoy bowl was sooo good! I added granola to it and it made the bowl so much better! I love how we can add any toppings to any bowl! Overall great experience! Definitely coming back!

10-05-22This place just opened and it is such a mess already. I went in early in the morning, and the cooks “were late”, according to the cashier, so they couldn’t cook anything. Moreover, they were out of crawfish since the night before, and they were out of rice. No manager present to speak to, and all I got was giggles after telling me everything they were out of. Not a pleasant experience at all.

Wait time was a little long due to staffing but they made up for it with great tasting food. The pork sandwich was amazing and the egg rolls were crunchy and tasty.
