About Us
Made by us.
Perfected
by Mom.
our beginnings
We first opened our doors in 2012, offering traditional dishes such as Phở, Bún, and Bánh Mì, with flavors found in homes and on the streets of Vietnam.
We are dedicated to using the freshest ingredients, including free-range chicken, cage-free eggs, and prime cuts of beef. Our phở features a clean, light broth and we proudly use fresh rice noodles.
A family business
Siblings Elaine and Victor Phuong have always wanted to open a restaurant to honor their mother’s cooking.
After experimenting with old family recipes and a lot of research, the siblings went all in along with other family members, to open Nong Lá - a restaurant that celebrates the food they grew up eating. They now have three locations; the original is found on Sawtelle Blvd.,their second shop located on La Brea Ave., and their third on Washington Blvd. in Culver City.
