Garlic & Chives

Our good friend knows the owner/chef Kristin,So we let our friend ordered the dishes. The service, ambiance and decor are excellent!And all the dishes were super delicious. What an amazing chef!This is now one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants !

I had the worst experience at Garlic & Chives on a Saturday night. As a party of two, we were seated after two large parties and a few smaller tables, but our food took over an hour to not even be ready. Despite following up multiple times, the staff kept giving vague excuses like "it's coming out soon" or "just another minute," yet there was no sign of our food.After waiting over 20 minutes beyond their assurances, we finally asked them to pack it to go since we were in a rush. Unfortunately, when we got to the car, we realized they had messed up the order and forgot our garlic noodles. To make things worse, the chicken roti was raw inside.We had to drive back, park again, and request a full refund. The whole ordeal made us late to our Sheng Wang show in Long Beach, though thankfully only by 5-10 minutes.This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had--poor service, excessive wait times, and inedible food. I won't be coming back. I wish they'd just tell us that two large parties just came in and that we would have to wait, but now they just lost us as customers.

This place needs is one of my favorite vietnamese restaurants in Artesia! The place is clean and beautifully decorated. staff is friendly and very helpful in answering questions. Their drinks are delicious and have a generous amount of alcohol. We got seated in one of their comfortable and spacious booths. I got myself started off with a lychee martini. We ordered their famous corn cheese as an appetizer, then the claypot pork spare ribs, walnut shrimp, and garlic fried rice for our mains.Lychee martini- Sweet and refreshing with a good amount of alcohol. I felt my drink after a few minutes and enjoyed eating the garnish lychee at the end.Corn cheese- This has got to be the best version of this dish I've ever had. Perfectly buttery and cheesy and practically melts in the mouth. Has a hint of sweetness to it as well.Walnut shrimp- Engulfed in a signature sweet and savory sauce, the shrimp has a nice crunch outside and soft inside. The walnuts add an extra depth of texture.Claypot pork spare ribs- The meat is perfectly tender and the caramelized sauce is delicious and pairs well with rice. Served with a side of vietnamese kimchi that was nice and crunchy with a sweet-tangy taste.Garlic fried rice- Abundantly sprinkled with pieces of fried garlic and a must try for those who adore the herb like I do! Paired perfectly with our entrees.Thanks for a wonderful meal!

Yummy Vietnamese spot. The location is huge and great for groups. Although it's a casual place, it has a somewhat nicer upscale vibe to it and can be a good option for a family gathering or a celebration of some sort. I came here for lunch with a friend on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. We shared 3 dishes:- Pomelo salad: AMAZING! WOW! I absolutely loved this dish and still think about it and crave it. It's perfectly balanced, super refreshing and also has that umami flavor. Even if you don't really like grapefruit, I challenge you to try this dish. This one is up there on my top 3 favorite salads of all time. Ugh I want this right now as I'm typing this. Literally salivating dammit! - Chicken wings: yummy! Sticky, savory, delicious.- Garlic noodles with shrimp: just okay, a little bit underwhelming. It was lacking in the flavor department. It needed just a pinch of salt and a lot more garlic. Maybe it was just an off day.Service was fine.Parking: free in plaza lot

Yooooooooooooooo! I usually get take out here if you vietnames chinese food fusion most of the dis though are mixed with sometimes to much spice my family didnt like it too much like the lil toothpick lamb were all a little too over cooked and dry. the only thing we enjoyed was the peking duck. the clams we sometimes get are also quite often over cooked. Service was very face we were hungry and food came out right in time since when I was there not many people were eating maybe 1/3 of the restaurant was filled on a weekday. Also got to try the lobster noodle and its good when its fresh, takeout it wasnt as good after we microwaved it and not much lobster was in the noodles. Not a place id come often, since my family doesnt like al the spices they use its in there salads, toothpick lamb, in the clams too. Ambiance was great since it still faiy new Nd bathrooms were clean. Best thing here for me was the pekking duck and the amount of veggies for the duck, i prefer it wrapped with thise peking duck tortilla looking thin wrapper instead of the pekking duck bun.

Came here to meet up with an old colleague and we had a blast. Ambience here was amazing with a 2019 Michelin Guide. Food was delicious and very tasty. Our favorite was their Nem Nuong, a meat roll and Bu loc lac which is a filet mignon dice and cooked medium rare. Service was excellent and they're open until 9:30 pm. Plenty of parking. A must visit if you're in the area. Cheers!

I have had many amazing food experiences here that I leave in a food coma each time and feeling so satisfied. My last outing was for a birthday get together so we ordered dishes to eat family style. Their pomelo salad with a soft shell crab topper (off menu item) is off the charts delicious! This has got to be the best salad in town! We also love their honey walnut shrimp and if you want to splurge, try their lobster (much more expensive since lobster is by the pound but worth every ounce)! I love Garlic & Chives: great service, great food, & great ambiance! Love love love this restaurant is an understatement!

Took my aunt here for a birthday treat . I honestly enjoyed every dish we ordered but it's on the salty side so the rice does balance it out They were also had friendly service

Met up for an early dinner with a couple of friends here on a Saturday, and we made a reservation but it was pretty empty so we didn't really need them. I appreciate that they take reservations though! They have both booth and table seating. It looks like they would be able to accommodate larger parties as well.The menu here is Vietnamese/Asian fusion focused, and it's pretty extensive! They have several noodle dishes, clay pots, seafood, meat entrees, hot pot, soups, and salads.Can't go wrong with a classic garlic noodle dish with shrimp. Tasty, garlicky, and a little sweet. Pretty good portion size too. I enjoyed this dish!Always a bonus when the parking situation is good! Plenty of parking in this plaza that's shared with several other businesses and eateries.

The holy crunchy chicken wings and caramelized salmon clay pot are my go tos here. The garlic noodles were just okay for me. The salmon just melts and is delicious.One thing I love about the place is that they really use lots of garlic in their food which for me gives sooo much flavor.I've been to their garden grove location as well this location has much more seating especially if you're a big group.The staff is really nice and very attentive.
