    Damaged Package upon receipt
    Quan T.

    We ordered some Xi Muoi online from here to be shipped to our house. When it arrived, the packaging was damaged with a label from USPS stating that it was received in damaged condition and it looked like someone had opened it already. When we checked the package, we only received 1lb of our 2lb order. We called the business asking for a refund of the portion of the order that we did not receive and the owner was super rude and essentially told us it was not his problem. When we pointed out that their refund policy on their website says that we need to notify them within 3 days of receiving a damaged package to receive a refund - he said he doesn't know anything about that policy (even though it is listed in their website). Shady and rude business...would not recommend ordering from this place.

    Kho Bo So 1 translates to #1 Beef Jerky. Like a kid in a candy store, I go directly to the left wall where all of the jerky varieties await. Let's see, there is curry beef jerk, traditional jerky, spicy jerky, shredded cuttlefish, crispy dried "crabs", dried squid, etc. and what's nice is you are free to try a piece before ya buy. When a decision is made, it is sold by the pound. Typically, premium jerk costs around $20-23/lb! On the center aisle and the other wall there are sweet treats like dried fruit, candies, jellies, gummies, you name it! Oh, and they also sell great cans of pate'! Every trip to Houston includes a stop here, ending with a minimum $100 spent to take home goodies for friends and family.

    Beef jerky crispy

    This is the second time I've been here. First time I went there I bought the kho bo don (crispy beef jerky) which was really crispy however this second time it was stale and slightly soggy. The cost is a bit steep; $30/lb.

    And another picture of the feather I found. :(

    Service was horrible but I still liked their treats. Not anymore, I just opened one of the bags of xí muoi không hot and guess what I found ? A Bird( or Chicken) Feather in my bag ( I don't even know which feather it is). It is so disgusting!what a waste of money.

    Must try: beef jerky, the mini dried crabs No California relative to bring you beef jerky? No problem! Get the best Vietnamese jerky at Kho Bo So 1, located in the Kim Son center in Chinatown. Their name translates into #1 beef jerky and it's true! They have a plethora of dried fruit, squid, shredded pork, variations of flavor on their original beef jerky, and... Mini dried crabs. These little crabs are crunchy, a little sweet and have a little kick from the Chili. Everything in the store goes great with your favorite beer so you really can't go wrong. Just let the boss man or boss lady know which one you want and the amount (they price per pound) and they will package it for you. They do take credit cards :)

However, they have late night hours which is sometimes a bit hard to find and I found myself here one night. The restaurant is on the smaller side but both times I've come there's been no wait They have a good range of skewers but also large dishes to share. Food: Spicy sichuan intestine hot pot: if you like intestines this is really good with rice Dry Pot Spicy Pork Intestine: sauteed with chinese cauliflower and peppers, this is also good Cumin Beef: not too heavy on the cumin Salt Pepper Prawn: the prawns are huge and are super crispy so you can eat it shell on. i love the cilantro and fried garlic pieces on top Eggplant and greenbean: standard dish Beef tendon skewer: good texture Lamb skewer: not too gamey or tough Chicken gizzard skewer: enjoyed this as well Grilled scallops: lots of garlic, topped with vermicelli Grilled enoki mushroom: this was really good Overall, the service is fast and the food is good. The skewers are flavorful and not too heavy on numbing spices that overpower other flavors. It's definitely one of my go to late night spots for either a snack or a full dinner

The service here is fairly quick for the amount of people that are here. It is always packed but the wait time is no more than 10 minutes. We will always order the strawberry and mango shaved ice with 2 scoops of matcha ice cream. The fruit is fresh (there's crates and crates of mangoes in the hallway). Sometimes the strawberries are a bit sour since they aren't in season, but the condensed milk helps balance it out. The matcha ice cream here is sooooooo good. This combination will hit every single time. 100/10 We did try their flan and we werent the biggest fans. Not sure if their flan is different than mexican traditional flan, but theirs seemed to be grainy and the flavor profile was off. We wouldn't order this again, but try it for yourself! Overall: 10/10

It comes with a scoop of ice cream and mango chunks which make it very worth the price. Eating it with a spoon was definitely better than the straw since you can get each ingredient.
