Nguyen's Kitchen - Costa Mesa

Homey but increased Asian cuisine. Always my place because the food here never fails me. The chicken wings are crispy, juicy, served with this spicy sauce that I recommend to be placed on the side instead of on the wings because it really has a kick. The spring rolls are crunchy, not oily at all, the fillings are tasteful with a good diving sauce as well. The fried Bao rolls are surprisingly good! It looks heavy and dense on the outside, but the interior is airy, not fat, well fried, and the meat filling is super blunt good. Thai tea! What I live for! Not too sweet, easy enough, literally the best Thai tea in search of a competition. Apart from these dishes, I also had the pasta and the sandwich, both were brilliant. This place deserves more love!

Let me start by saying that wearing a white t-shirt while dining at this restaurant may not be the best idea, as the Cajun pasta is so delicious that it will leave a stain (but it's worth it!). The pasta was naturally saucy and I didn't even need to ask for extra sauce. I decided to add a side of beef to my dish, which elevated the flavors even more. Although I requested extra sauces on the side, they weren't really necessary as the dish was already perfect. The noodles had a great texture, and the shrimp and sausage were also tasty. Adding the beef took the dish to the next level. I even drank a little bit of sauce from the bowl when I was finished, which speaks to how amazing it was. I would definitely recommend this dish without a doubt.

I had a fantastic late-night meal after a enjoyable concert! The Cajun Garlic fries and Bulgolgi Short Rib Steak were both delicious. It was a pleasant surprise to find such tasty and hot food in a small strip mall in Costa Mesa, especially at nearly midnight. My friend made a great choice bringing me to this hidden gem. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the atmosphere was casual and laid-back. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. I highly recommend trying the Bulgogi Short Rib steak with either rice or noodles!

Great little place in the food central of Costa Mesa, East 17th., Street! Our first time here, the menu looked friendly, simple and exciting. The food was in well proportions, delicious with good presentation. We had the Tiger shrimps with in a rice bowl with vegetables, short rib sandwich, chicken wings, and finally the Cajun Fries. The food was really delicious and the short rib sandwich was one of the best I have ever had. Highly recommended as a semi gourmet fastfood! #letsguide

The food at this restaurant is incredibly fresh and delicious. It's no surprise that it's always packed with students and takeout orders late into the night. I ordered the bulgogi steak with garlic fries and it was huge and so tasty. My husband had the highly recommended garlic noodles and he loved them. We're looking forward to trying out their new location soon!
