There is a reason why the Los Angeles Times (Jan. 9, 2023) once again recognized Ngu Binh as one of LA’s 101 best restaurants. It’s been around for a long time. An easy drive down Westminster Boulevard from Leisure World, Ngu Binh is located in a small mall at the Magnolia Street intersection.

There are 12 specialty items on the menu, spicy noodle soups with several cuts of pork, beef or shrimp, tapioca rice cakes and stuffed dumplings. The beef soup was delicious.

I felt so healthy afterward, and this family-run restaurant will be one of my regular favorites for years to come. It is very spacious and perfectly sized, sparklingly clean with wonderful nostalgic decor and paintings.

A must-try restaurant, I highly reccomend it to those of us who love LA and all it has to offer.
