“I've been coming to Nam Kitchen ever since they opened over a year ago, and it’s easily become one of my favorite spots. It’s the perfect place to celebrate birthdays, hang out with friends, or enjoy a nice date night. The interior has a modern yet elegant vibe—definitely a bit more upscale than your typical Vietnamese restaurant—but the quality and portion sizes absolutely live up to it.

Nam Kitchen is a creative fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisine, and it really works!

What we ordered:

Ribeye Garlic Noodles – 8/10 ($30)
The price may look a little steep but the portions are large, and they don’t skimp on the steak. It was a LOT of steak! I asked for medium-rare, but it came out slightly more cooked than I prefer. Still, the chimichurri added a great kick and paired beautifully with the steak—it was super flavorful overall.

House Chicken Wings – 10/10 ($15)
We got seven pieces, and even after sitting for about 30 minutes while we filmed, the wings were still crispy, flavorful, and delicious. You can really taste the fish sauce—it adds that perfect umami touch.

Pho Short Rib – 10/10 ($17)
The broth is rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor — you can really taste the fish sauce, lime, and all the fragrant spices. A huge bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills, just like SUP Noodle Bar! The short rib was delicious, though I’ve had slightly more tender versions elsewhere — but the unlimited noodles more than make up for that. You could easily share this dish with another person, making it a great value!

Crispy Rolls - 8/10 ($9)
I like how they cut the egg rolls in half for easy sharing and serve them with fresh lettuce and carrots for wrapping. The presentation is beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. They also include fish sauce for dipping, which ties all the flavors together perfectly. I loved the crispiness of the egg rolls and the flavorful filling inside — such a satisfying bite!

Pink Petal Drink - 9/10 ($6)
I really enjoyed this drink made with strawberry purée and coconut milk — it’s super refreshing and beautifully presented with a flower garnish. It’s definitely an Instagram-worthy drink! The flavor leans on the sweeter side, so I’d recommend asking for it less sweet, or you can add a bit of water to balance it out (and make it last longer!).

Taro Coffee - 6/10 ($6)
We ordered this drink mainly for its aesthetic appeal, but since neither of us are big coffee drinkers, our rating might be a little biased. The Vietnamese coffee is quite strong and not too sweet, which true coffee lovers will likely appreciate. If you enjoy bold, robust coffee flavors, this one’s definitely worth trying!

Overall Score 9.5/10
Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the food absolutely makes it worth it. The staff are kind and friendly, though they can get quite busy at times. Parking can be a little tricky since the restaurant is located in a plaza near an apartment complex, and it tends to get crowded — even at 6 p.m. on a Saturday, the place was buzzing. I’m really happy to see how well they’re doing, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them!“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“This place is tiny, but the flavors are extraordinary. I had a perfect meal and I keep on thinking about those bites of food my mouth is literally watering right now. On top of that, service was impeccable and so sweet. I can’t wait to come back“

“I was in LA for four nights, went to other notable restaurants, and this was by far the best dining experience I had. You feel like you are in a friend's home. All of the dishes were delicious, fresh, vibrant and beautiful. Every detail is intentional. The dishes and platers are stunning and thoughtfully chosen. Highly recommend. If you're in LA, don't miss Chef Okay Inak and Sora.“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“Coconut beef adobo and cornbread bibingka are outstanding!“

“muuuuy rico todo .. ......“

“Muy bueno!! la Nina fue muy linda. Se llama mayra muchas gracias!!! ☺️☺️☺️“

“The woman that took my order, I should have got her name, was very kind, helpful and informative. I will definitely be back again.“

“Amazing place. A real gem and great find. The mackerel bento tier 2 was amazing. The fish was butter and crispy. All the vegetables were so tasty too. The area it’s in is a bit rough, but this place is worth it. The inside is decorated nicely and it’s a nice atmosphere. The staff was nice and the even gave us cute holiday cookies. Can’t wait to visit again“

“Friendly customer service“

“Delicious & authentic Cantonese and Vietnamese cuisine! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. Service was spectacular!“

“I finally checked out Enchant LA in Koreatown and was honestly impressed by how well they pull off Korean fusion without it feeling forced.

We ordered a mix of classic and creative dishes, and everything delivered. The Kim’s Kimchi Pasta was the standout for me. The stir fried kimchi and bacon added a smoky, savory kick, and the creamy pink sauce tied it all together in a way that felt rich but not heavy. It sounds unusual, but it works extremely well.

The Bulgogi Quesadilla was another surprise. The sweet soy marinated beef paired perfectly with the melted mozzarella and Mexican cheese. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It felt like comfort food with real flavor behind it.

The Korean Fried Chicken was exactly what you want. Super crispy wings with no greasiness, and the house made sweet and spicy garlic dipping sauce was addictive. Easily one of the better Korean fried chicken orders I’ve had in LA.

We also got the Asian Orange Ginger Salad, which was refreshing and balanced out the heavier dishes. Fresh greens, bright citrus, crunchy almonds, and a light ginger dressing that didn’t overpower anything.

The La La Galbi Set was satisfying and well portioned. Tender marinated short ribs, smoky sausage, grilled onions and peppers, and rice to soak up all the flavor. Simple and comforting.

The vibe inside is casual and welcoming, and the menu gives you a lot of options whether you want something familiar or want to try something different. Overall, Enchant LA is a great spot if you’re in Koreatown and want Korean food with a creative twist. I’d definitely come back to try more of the menu.“

“I want to share that we had a amazing time last night. My wife and I went out for date night and had an amazing service with Patrick. He was very attentive and gave great recommendations on food, desserts, and drinks. His service is the type of service that makes you want to keep coming back to restaurants.“

“I have been coming here since the lovely family that ran this place retired. Though I was sad to see them go, I am glad to see the new owners running the place flawlessly like before. The quality of the food for the prices listed is unmatched. Great to see their menu expanded, and if you have not tried it , get the shrimp fried rice! So good!“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“Omg!!!! The food is delicious!!!!and they prepared it right on the spot.
The service is great. They are Vero honest people. I always talked to them and were my work close ,so they knew where i worked. So, I left my credit card on the machine and didn't know I had lost it ,so the next day, I received a call at my job telling me they have my card 🤦‍♀️. I really appreciate the effort they put and the time they took to 5 me . Thank you 😊“

“In a word; Fantastic! The food is delicious, the staff are friendly and courteous, the place is super clean...did I mention that the food is delicious? Oh, I did...lol. They offer a decent selection of protein and carbs to satisfy just about anyone who appreciates good food. It's definitely for the tummy. This place is just excellent. I come here two to three times a week. I'm glad I work close by. If you're ever in the Koreatown area make sure to stop by. You won't regret it. ^_^“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“It's better than three stars. Got the sashimi rice plate. Not bad. Coulda used more rice though. Like I'm talking a bed a rice. Didn't get sick, believe it or not. I'm kind of surprised by that. Must be a quality joint. I was feeling fish today. Folks have to know what they're serving up and I'm grateful for it. But yeah that rice woulda been better if it came on a bed of rice. Only complaint.

Edit: in hindsight this place is actually good af. Def want more rice on the sashimi rice plate though“

“Ordered the Galbi-jjim and it was so tender and flavorful! The ribs were fall off the bone. Add cheese for extra flavor and a fire show. The side dishes were tasty. Service was good.

Will be back to try the soup and other dishes!“
