"Croque Monsieur Croissant Sandwich and Salad Both of the new Croissant bread sandwiches were excellent. The spread and caramelized onions really added to the flavor. They would also be good with bacon, avocado or apple slices added, too. Will definitely be buying them again!"
"The onion soup may not be presented in a traditional way (hard to it when is 'to go') but the flavor is all there so for $10 for a bowl is a good value considering the ingredients and the long time it takes to make one at home ... The sandwiches are very good too but somewhat pricy but then, any decent sandwich will be at least $15 no matter from where. Overall, a good value ."

"Rice Shaken Beef (Bai Lok Lak),we ordered two. My plate was a bit on the sweet side than what I am used to. It is still good, ate the entire thing. I've dined in in the past and tasted perfect, not too sweet. House Fried Rice with shrimp and lime sauce was perfection! Cha Quai was delicious. It was warm, crispy and long!

"Absolutely DELICIOUS! My first time eating restaurant Khmer food. I had the Beef Sticks and the Stir-fried Eggplant. The beef sticks were incredibly flavor, tender and juicy. The eggplant was perfectly cooked, the tofu that I requested was delicious. Will definitely be ordering from here again. "
"The lemongrass chicken is super tasty and well done, but I am super disappointed in the amount of chicken and the amount of food overall. There must have been less than 1/2 cup of chicken in there overall, maybe even less than 1/3 cup. In all, I feel as though for a lunch special the price was too high. I enjoyed it but I probably wouldn't order it again. "

"The Som Tum Thai looked different than the pictures with different ingredients (cashews instead of peanuts and no dried shrimp) but when I tried it I LOVED IT! The most authentic som tum I've had around here. Best Crying Tiger (Thai beef jerky) I've had as well. It didn't come with crying tiger sauce but the red sauce it came with tasted SO GOOD! "
"The dish contained about 35-40% inedible components. Four large pieces of preserved salty crab in their shells. Two large wedges of lime. A few large pieces of peppers. Dishes like this often come with a wedge of cabbage or some green leaf. None included. Also, not enough papaya or string beans. The dish was tasty, probably the best version of this dish at any restaurant in the area, but there's just not enough edible components in it that warrants the price."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nghbrs Kitchen really delivered with their fried rice. It had great flavor, not overly salty or oily like some places, and the ingredients tasted fresh and well-balanced. You could tell it was made with care—every bite had a good mix of texture and seasoning. It’s the kind of meal you finish without even realizing because it’s that good. Definitely one of the better spots around, and I’ll be ordering from here again for sure. Also the portions is crazy!!!"

"Everything here is always hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The Garlic Noodles (Protein) with pork are a must-try—the pork is always cooked to tender perfection, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients every time. And don’t get me started on the Golden Bao — soft, flavorful, and always satisfying. That green sauce? I don’t even know what’s in it, but it’s addictive. Just pure yum from start to finish!"
"The Garlic Noodles (Protein) are always good when I order from here. I typically get ribeye and while they definetly could add a little more, they do give a decent amount of noodles to make up for it. First time getting the Egg Rolls (2 pcs) and they were not what I was expecting taste wise. They were a little bland but the sauce they provide helped. Would definetly order again!"

"I decided to try this place mainly because I love Halo-Halos. I wanted to see if this place compared to the others. Unfortunately, the Halo-Halo had barely any sweetened fruits and beans at all, it was just a glorified sno-cone. It was mostly just a cup of ice. I had one scoop of beans on top, but throughout there were maybe 3 chunks of fruit if even that? The ube ice cream and flan were good at least, but it was nothing like the picture. The Rice Bowl was bland and didn't come with any green onion like it shows in the picture. I can't really believe I spent that much money on bland rice and dry chicken, I could have made that at home myself for much less. The Chili Garlic Oil Packet did help a little bit (along with sweet and sour sauce), but not enough to save the dish. Overall, I wouldn't order from here again, or at least not the items I did order. Maybe other items are better, but after this experience I am not sure if I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt."
"The quantity and quality of the black pepper beef and mushroom were below average, as there was more rice than the black pepper beef and mushrooms. The same thing with the sweet and sour chicken, the quality and quantity were below average as there was more rice than the sweet and sour chicken. I felt that I paid a lot for so little quality and quantity of food."

"These sandwiches are huge and so good! The pork is flavorful and i love the generousness of the toppings. I will absolutely be ordering these again!"
"I ordered B11 (Steak Baguette) and M14 (Shrimp, BBQ Pork, Egg Roll Vermicelli bowl). Got it discounted during happy hour 2-5pm FYI. For the baguette, it was not bad but it was packed with a lot of the veggies. I felt like I ordered a veggie baguette with a side of sliced beef more. It’s hard for me to get a good picture with the beef because the meat was so hidden and the veggies were overflowing. For the carrots/daikon, I’m used to a strong pickled version, but their version is very light and felt like it was lightly soaked in sugar water. The sliced beef was really greasy but it’s flavorful and has onions too. The bread is decent, I recommend putting in the air fryer to crisp it up a bit because I like my bread more crunchy. Overall for the price and taste, I give it 7/10. For the vermicelli bowl, it does the job. However, the fish sauce is very light and I’m used to a stronger flavored fish sauce dressing. I used the entire container of fish sauce provided and felt like I needed more because the flavors became bland. It’s perfect if you don’t like strong fish sauce flavor so I know this is probably subjective. I grew up eating southeast asian food my whole life so I need flavors haha. The shrimp was probably the worst part because it looks like the image, which is the rubbery looking shrimp. Egg rolls were fine except I wanted it more crispy, but I figure it will get soggy during delivery. The BBQ pork was flavorful but very chewy sometimes. Overall for price and taste, I give it 6/10. Conclusion: this place does a decent job if you want affordable Vietnamese comfort food. I would definitely order again and try different items on their menu. The protion is decent and I also got my food relatively quick too. 7/10"
