NAM Kitchen - Gardena

Nams was pretty good, we were very happy with our experience there! We both got phò and an appetizer so we both spent ~$30. The food was really good, you can't go wrong with pho, and the little wings and wontons we got were very solid. The staff was helpful and pretty fast with our food (granted there was almost no one else there). The restroom was extremely clean and super nice, same with the whole building in general! The parking is right out front as well. There was alot of hype around this place and I would say it loves up to it! Not the best pho I've ever had, but it's definitely up there. It would be a nice place to take your family, have a date, dine alone, or even have a relaxed business lunch! 10/10 recommend 👌 check it out for sure!

Came here on a Tuesday based on good reviews. Not from this area so it’s hard finding a good authentic Vietnamese spot. This place delivers and is not all hype. The food here is actual good! Tastes home made like moms and grandma cooking. Got the pho and it didn’t disappoint. The flavor and the fresh herbs and meat made this a very memorable meal. The staff were all friendly and nice. The drinks are all so good too. Only thing I would suggest is adding in the fresh pho noodles - the thick one. Other than that I will return anytime I crave some pho. There is plenty of seats no need to wait in long lines and parking.

I love the bright beautiful interior of Nam Kitchen. It’s in a plaza with a bunch of other restaurants and shops but there was plenty of parking during lunch hours. The food and drinks were really yummy. I loved the mocktails, especially the June Lemon. It was refreshing and not too sweet. The combo of the yuzu lemon and peach puree were perfect. The lomo saltado is a classic must get dish for Vietnamese Peruvian food. The thick crispy fries with juicy tender beef and the spicy creamy aji verde - and Nam Kitchen does it right so you can’t go wrong. The Cajun tiger prawns garlic noodles are also a classic. Yummy noodles coated in a garlic sauce with plump grilled prawns (and of course also served with that spicy creamy aji verde). What surprised me the most was one of their new menu offerings - the yuzu pepper pork cheek. It was so juicy and fatty yet flavorful at the same time and the combo of fatty peppery pork cheek with the bitter arugula and bright acidic lemon juice was one of my favorite bites! Also love the house-made chili sauce/chili oil if you like your food extra spicy like me. Service was also great, staff came to check on my table and refill our waters. Overall, woul

I had a great experience at this Vietnamese-Peruvian fusion restaurant in Gardena! I visited with some friends for a weekend lunch and we enjoyed sharing their tasty and unique dishes. Going down the list of what I tried: - Lychee Peachee: Sweet and refreshing mocktail that paired well with the savory dishes. - Yuzu Pepper Pork Cheek: It was like candied pork coated in a citrusy sauce. - Truffle Fried Rice: One of my favorites here. The rice was perfectly moist, flavorful, and umami. I also liked the Chinese sausage and bacon which provided a nice meatiness to the dish. - Nui Xao Bo (Macaroni with Filet Mignon Beef): I really liked this dish as well. It reminded me of a pasta version of lomo saltado with Vietnamese spices. I enjoyed the chewy macaroni and nicely cooked and tender filet mignon. - Pho Filet Mignon: The pho broth of this was good and I liked the tender and savory beef in the pho. The interior of this restaurant is beautiful and clean. It is a great spot for lunch/brunch with friends and family. The service here was great and all the servers were friendly and attentive. They also have free parking in the plaza shared with other businesses. Overall, I had a great

A bold fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian flavors, this spot delivers a creative lineup that's both comforting and elevated. The Pho Rib Bone is a standout - featuring a premium Korean short rib that's incredibly tender, soaking up rich, aromatic pho flavors in every bite. It's hearty, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The Truffle Fried Rice leans into indulgence with smoky bacon, earthy shiitake mushrooms, finished with a drizzle of fragrant truffle oil for that extra umami kick. The Lomo Saltado brings the best of both worlds--beef stir-fried with red onions, celery, and tomatoes, paired with thick-cut fries, and a bright, herbaceous aji verde that ties everything together beautifully. For drinks, the Lychee Peachee is light and refreshing, blending jasmine green tea with sweet peach purée and lychee for a perfectly balanced sip. The Vietnamese Iced Latte is smooth, bold, and just the right amount of sweet. A unique fusion concept that truly works--packed with flavor, creativity, and dishes you'll keep thinking about long after the last bite.
