NAM Kitchen

Tried this spot in Gardena over the weekend and everything we ordered was so good. We started with the spicy wontons, which had great flavor and just the right amount of heat. We also tried one of the new appetizer menu items, the truffle fried rice, and it did not disappoint! Rich, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. For entrees, we ordered the pho shaken-style filet mignon and lomo saltado, both super satisfying. The filet mignon was tender and packed with flavor, and the lomo saltado was hearty and comforting. For drinks, we got the Lychee Peachee and June Lemon, which were light, refreshing, and paired really well with the food. Definitely a place I’d come back to.

This place deserves all the hype because it’s that good. Located in Gardena which is really local to me. Their menu options between appetizers, entrees and drinks is a wonderful selection. I ordered the bap xao/street corn, chicken pho, salmon steak noodles, lychee peachee, and coco matcha. Everything was flavorful and delicious and literally provided so much comfort.

The pho broth tasted so delicious. The meat is ok. I liked the portion size and being able to get more noodles if we wanted (we didnt need to). The restaurant was very cute. It looks clean and spacious. The location has a small parking lot that is shared with 7 other restaurant. We went in the afternoon and found parking easily but I could see parking being very challenging during meal times. Overall, we would return and recommend.

I was able to bring my husband to try NAM kitchen with me for lunch today. We waited for about 30 minutes which wasn't bad. Staff were nice, the restaurant is well decorated and food came out quickly. For food, we started with the truffle fried rice, which had great flavor and lots of toppings, including Chinese sausage and pork. The combination pho had hearty broth and well cooked noodles and good amount of protein. For drinks, we got the coco Matcha and lychee peachee which were refreshing. Overall, we had a great meal (: would recommend! Pro tip: if you're feeling hungry and wanting soup - the pho comes with unlimited noodles if you get your own bowl!

My boyfriend and I came back here twice within a month. The first time we came at 7ish we had to park across the street, the second time we came before 6p there was plenty of parking and the restaurant was not crowded. By the time we left, there was a line already. But I think this restaurant is worth for waiting. The first time we ordered fried chicken wings, oxtail fried rice, lomo saltado and coco matcha. The second time we ordered lomo saltado and pho rib bone n the drink again. The food there won’t disappoint you. All the food is very flavorful. The pho rib bone soup based was so so good. It hit the spot if you are craving pho. That clear clean broth but with rich flavor was so delicious. The service was amazing and quick. Just come with a hungry soul . Highly recommend

I had the lomo saltado and was really impressed with the quality! The fries were perfectly crispy and the meat was cooked just right with nice fresh tomatoes. The dish had great flavor and was very satisfying. I also tried the ribeye steak with garlic noodles, and again, the steak was cooked to perfection. The garlic noodles were super flavorful and paired really well with the ribeye. The prices are very fair, especially considering how expensive meat is these days. The chicken wings were another standout dish! They were nice and crunchy with a delicious Vietnamese-style fish sauce seasoning that really made them pop. Between the lomo saltado, the steak and noodles, and the wings, everything we ordered was excellent. This is definitely the best Vietnamese food in Gardena in my opinion! It was busy on a Saturday night when we visited, but the staff was very helpful and accommodating despite the crowd. I noticed most of the staff spoke Vietnamese which added to the authentic feel of the restaurant. The service was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Overall, I'd highly recommend Nam Kitchen if you're in the Gardena area and craving quality Vietnamese food!

Beautiful Vietnamese restaurant with a stunning interior and a calm upscale vibe. The food was excellent. Noodles were incredibly tasty, the soup with appetizers and tender meat was rich and comforting. Service was attentive and smooth without pressure. Everything felt well thought out, polished, and enjoyable.
