Back in California to visit, friend told me about this place. First time here thought I’d give the garlic noodles a try, went for the chicken, steak and shrimp. Definitely have to come back food is delicious and everything I hope for. Service was fast and helpful

Recently visited Nghbors for the first time, hoping to enjoy a nice meal especially after seeing them on my TT feed, but unfortunately, my experience fell short. I ordered the garlic noodles and wings, and both dishes were overwhelmingly salty. It was surprising and quite disappointing, as I had heard good things about this place.

Maybe I just happened to visit on an off day, but the sodium levels in the food were so high that I genuinely felt like I was in for a massive headache afterward. It's a shame because I was excited to try their offerings. I hope this was just an isolated incident, but I might think twice before returning. If you decide to visit, maybe consider asking for less salt to avoid a similar experience.

After trying their food truck I was excited to hear they would have a permanent location because I love how they put a big emphasis on flavor and the portions are really good for the price. The food was already great at the truck, but now that they have the extra elbow room the cooks can really shine and the food is even better!

Garlic noodles are a must have, l've had them with the tri tip and the second time I had chicken, although I preferred the tri tip you can't go wrong with either one. Definitely going to try with shrimp and come back with a final verdict haha

So far all of the wing flavors l've tried have all been really good, again this place does not miss! They have a lot of options that I still want to try but so far I think the garlic parmesan and Cajun lemon pepper are my favorite

They also have really cool anime drinks that I was a little skeptical to try, especially since I usually just stick with water, but I was really surprised by their interesting flavors so definitely make sure you grab one (or two)

Lastly, the staff here is really friendly and will give you really accurate descriptions if you're having trouble deciding on anything which is really helpful when there's so many options. Also honorable mention is I meant to take my food to go but they kept playing really good music so I ended up staying lol

All in all 10/10 would recommend and will keep coming back

A great casual eatery with delectable garlic noodles and a menu lineup that has me looking forward to coming back and trying everything else.

The Spicy Noodles ($15.95) were perfectly seasoned - tons of garlic, a great chili flavor, and just enough heat to leave a lingering warmth without overpowering anything. The Steak (+$1.59) was a bit chewy, but complemented the noodles excellently and we're equally if not even better seasoned than the noodles. Everything was well portioned for the price.

My only gripe is that I somewhat wish the noodles had a bit more - like some sauted onions/shallots, bell peppers, cabbage, or mushrooms. Just something to add a bit of texture and complimentary flavors. I'd even pay extra for them as a "+Veggies" option. Still, as is, the noodles were fantastic.

The side of gyoza didn't stand out, but that speaks to them being quite good: crispy, a nice neutral flavor, and a decent chili oil sauce on the side.

Overall, I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area and the menu catches your eye.

There WING WEDNESDAY DEAL is ONLY a freaking $1 per wing! Great customer service. It does get very hectic on wed so you are warned.

I ordered the Tropical habanero 12 pc with a basket of Cajun fries. The fries are really good and crispy. The Tropical isn’t spicy so yall can hang but it is sweet. The location has ranch when I can so just fyi. But everything else was amazing. I forgot to take a picture of my food because I was so hungry but I highly recommend getting the food.

The garlic noodles is amazing too and the short ribs are good too. They also do catering so birthday parties they go out their way. Thank you again. They for ppl and community of LB.

Only had their wings so far. Can't beat $1 wings on Wednesday. Chicken were crispy, and their sauces were flavorful. I'll need to come back to try their happy hour garlic noodles.

Just prior to coming here we were turned down by a Thai restaurant. It wasn’t even the time they closed for their break, but they did not want to serve us. But with this disappointment our hunger grew and we were in search for great food, and this place NGHBRS Kitchen delivered! Not only did they welcome us in, they served us incredibly delicious food! The perfect trifecta is what me and my parents discovered with this place! We ordered Ninja Fries Beef, the Cambo Cali Burrito, and the Garlic Noodles with Steak! The fries were savory, the noodles were garlicky and the burrito was a pleasant surprise with a sweetness to it that put us in awe! Like wait what? But the flavor profiles of each truly complimented each other and it’s definitely something we’d like to get again! Root beer and Diet Pepsi were our choice of drinks and together this meal we finished to the last bite! Enjoying it so much! I liked this place! Keep up the great work! Thanks for having us! “Have a nice day and enjoy!” -NGHBRS Kitchen sign. We will and did!

We ordered at the place and the wait was a bit long (30 minutes) when there were not plenty of take orders being prepared and we were the second in-line at the counter. Nevertheless, our order of 3 tacos (each of the protein), shrimp/steak garlic noodles and cambo cali burritos didn’t disappoint. Well deserved a 5 star for the quality and the taste.
