Some friends suggested this spot to pick up lunch to go. Worth going out of the way. The bahn mi did not disappoint. You can only order it to go. On a toasted bun with delicious pork, some veggies and a small amount of mayonnaise on the bottom. Very fresh and light sandwich. Delicious shrimp spring rolls with a yummy peanut dipping sauce. The fried tofu super yummy. Crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside. I understand that smooth is a strange adjective to use but it is tofu. I love the texture of fried outside and the soft tofu texture inside. Dipped in the perfectly sweet sauce a yummy appetizer. Really friendly service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And good vibes inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe next time I'll eat here. The menu looked amazing and they have pho. Enjoy life: SYOY! read more

Got a small pho with flank, tripe, and meatballs for about $13.50. The prices here are very reasonable, but the pho broth lack depth and vibrant flavors that I've had at other places. It tasted bland with a flat meaty base flavor? The flank here was also a bit tough. Overall, I'd come back and try something else. But the pho didn't hit the spot for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior is a bit outdated but clean, so no complaints there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is typical of an Asian restaurant where they come to take your order and you don't see them again until you go up to the counter and pay. read more

My go to place in renton for a hangover cure. The pho broth is pretty flavorful and consistent--what I usually order. I've also tried the bun rieu, vermicelli bowls, and spring rolls, which were really yummy. If you're a bun bo hue lover like myself, just a note that the the broth is on the sweeter side here which I don't prefer. read more

Location is convenient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is dated and cluttered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance isn't the best.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is great. Very attentive. The food smells good. It's the meat that made me disappointed. It was very chewy and it was so chewy I had to spit it out in a napkin. I hope they will use better meat. It's important to a good bowl of pho. read more

I ordered takeout from here and ordered the spring rolls and an XL portion of the pho chin/nam (brisket). The spring rolls were fried well and a decent size, but they weren't very flavorful. The pho broth was lacking in flavor and richness and the meat didn't seem very high quality. However, the amount of food you get for the price is quite a bit. I won't be returning here as I would rather pay more for better quality and better tasting food elsewhere. read more

It's a place for cheap Vietnamese food. I feel like you wouldn't go here for ambience but you would go here for a variety of Vietnamese food. They serve a lot of bun bo hue and pho options and the bun bo hue meat is great. However the broth I think is pho base broth? Just didn't feel very reminiscence of the typical bbh spice. That said I would go back for the variety of food and meat. Don't expect too much cleanliness here also. But server was very nice and quick and cheap. Haven't paid 20 bucks for lunch for 2 peep in awhile. read more

Highly recommend for catering! I ordered all our favorites: fried rice, chow mein, pork skewers, fried egg rolls, chicken wings, and an assortment of banh mi. We were expecting a party of approx 20 adults and 20 kids, which we estimated 30 ppl to make it easier for ordering. There was plenty of food, and servings were very generous. Our guests raved how tasty everything was. Kim Phuong helped me with the menu and selecting a variety of meats to include in the rice and noodles, and everything paired well. They were ready on time and really easy to work with. read more

This place is hidden on sunset blvd. I've driven past multiple times. I decided to be daring and try the special spare rib pho. I was impressed that the broth even though light and had a lot of differ t flavor and could taste different spices. Unfortunately, the ribs were good for the first few bites but were too chewy like they had been cooked too fast. I wish it had been more tender. The slat and pepper chicken wings were on point. Salty enough and crispy on the edges. I will probably go back but try something else besides the spare rib. read more

DON'T DINE HERE IF YOU'RE DISABLED. I have a service dog and they refused to let me dine here, dispite it being the LAW. Even after I told them it's the law they told me I couldn't have my dog. I really liked this place too, too bad they're ignorant to the actual law. read more

A friend is a fan of this place; sadly, I was not impressed, borderline hard pass. FYI there are two Kim Phuong. This location has meat options. The other one, closer to freeway, exit 5 off 405, is vegetarian only. The food didn't stand-out. The appetizers were 3 stars, a passing grade. The pho broth was bland. Even though the contents were good, the overall rating is maybe 2.5 stars. Without a good broth, it's a waste of perfectly good contents. The cost is reasonable to slightly low; I'm adding back half a star. The deal breaker - questionable cleanliness. For a suburbia restaurant, the floor was ridiculously sticky and looked dirty, too. My shoes made a sticky sound every time I shifted my foot. It was grossing me out as I ate. It'd be one thing if I was on the streets eating street food, but it's a hard no for a suburban restaurant. The table wasn't nearly as sticky, but still meh. I doubt I'll return. Our Food: A2. Goi Cuon Tôm (2 pcs): Fresh Spring Rolls with Prawns. $3.99 A4. Cha Giò (2 pcs): Deep Fried Pork & Vegetable Egg Rolls. $3.99 14.

Plenty of seating area. Waiter is quick to seat and take order. I order the Special Kim Phuong Rice Dish with a soup. It came with grilled pork but I switched it out for grilled short ribs, skewered shrimp, shrimp patty, rice, eggs, cucumber and a slice of tomato. The soup usually is with a pho broth but I can taste a very strong taste of cinnamon. That kinda threw me off because of how strong it is. read more

Kim Phuong - Vietnamese Near Me - Renton, Washington

If you want to eat any Vietnamese food and just happen to be in Renton area, I would recommend you to try out Kim Phuong. Kim Phuong has a comprehensive menu for all Vietnamese dishes I could think of. We have tried pho, vermicelli noodles, rice, and banh mi. We even tried their boba tea drinks. Everything we have tried so far is very tasty. The boba tea may not be as good as that of boba tea specialty stores, but it's still good if you don't want to drive far to get a boba tea drink. The only thing that prevents me from giving them 5 stars is that the service is slow here. It may take a while to get someone to take the order. Even after ordering, it may take a long time to get the food. If we are in hurry, we just order banh mi, which is also delicious. read more

I got lunch here a couple weeks ago via delivery. I've always been wanting to try it. I got the Bún Dac Biet Special Combo Vermicelli. Copied from the site it says: it includes deep fried egg roll, shrimp cake on sugar cane, grilled prawn on skewer, grilled pork skewer and pork sausage patty (1 pc each) Food was fresh and tasted really good but the menu was a bit misleading. I got a vermicelli dish and asked for extra vegetables and they gave me sprouts and salad. In the future, I would advise this establishment to make sure things like that are clear. When I think of vegetables, I think of carrots or broccoli. They also charge an extra 50 cents per takeout item which I found weird. read more

I've been eating here for years ( at least 4 times a month) and I'm not sure if the restaurant recently has sold. Service was beyond poor, silverware had rice in it ( not my rice) The hot tea was cold and the cups or the tea smelt like bleach. Would have liked a refill on my water but nobody came by my table ever again. Alway cold inside. One guy was wearing military clothes another was wearing a red plaid shirt that had holes all over it I'm not sure what's going on in this place. We are moving on to a new place. read more

Great Pho my neighbor orders for us there once a week - yummmmm the broth is amazing. Only thing is i wish they would give more spicy sauce

What a great restaurant to get Vietnamese food in the Renton area for a reasonable price! The pho here was good. I ordered the #14, Pho Dat Biec which included all the types of meat. The amount of meat was generous, and the broth light yet flavorful. The noodle portion was just right. Simply delicious! The banh mi was also good. I ordered the B5, Banh Mi Dac Biet which included the special ham and pate. The sandwich included a generous portion of meat, the veggies were refreshing and nuanced with a slight tang, and the bread was so fresh - nice and fluffy on the inside, yet solid on the outside, but not so stale/solid that it would cut into your gums. That's how I like it! Service was on point and pleasant. I would come back again! read more

My friend and I were in the area last week and tried here for the 1st time. We have had Pho in many different restaurants in Seattle, this one is by far the worse. The rare beef that we usually get (from other Vietnamese restaurant) are thin-sliced-beef, very thin! The ones here are very THICK! And their Pho soup arrived to our table NOT hot, just warm. Unacceptable! Also very ugly wall color with big patch of peeling paint. read more

Awful rude customer service!! Can't say we were able to try the food, since they refused to service my family and myself because my daughter had a medical service dog. We tried to explain to them they are not allowed to discriminate under ADA regulations, but the lady still refused to service us. I understand people are skeptical of service animals as being legit, but my daughter's dog is. We said we would even show them proof of certification etc, but she was not having it. She claimed her other patrons were "allergic" read more

kind and friendly service, best of all: the BEST pho I have eaten since I was in Vietnam. Highly recommend.

I was running errands with my friend on Saturday and we both were hungry so I ordered us to go from here since it's just down the street from her house. She got BBH and I ordered Bun Rieu because cravings. Ordering was quick and easy and the serving size was HUGE for a small. I could have save some and had left overs but I inhaled everything. The broth was flavorful but a bit bland for my taste so I added a tad more fish sauce, shrimp paste, and a whole lot of chili oil. It was overall a delicious lunch! They do not skimp on meat patties and shrimp either. Will definitely order again whenever I have a soup craving. read more

I have been coming to Kim Phuong for years as they have very affordable prices for vietnamese food in the area, and have kept large portion sizes! We ordered dinner for to go, and called in to place our order. Within 20 minutes, the food was ready to be picked up. Ordered grilled pork vermicelli bowl, a grilled pork & shrimp rice plate and a bun bo hue with beef brisket, shrimp and pork sausage. For the bun bo hue, the noodle soup and the noodles were packaged separately from each other, insuring that nothing gets too soggy. They also pack all of the fish sauce for the vermicelli bowl and rice plate separately, again ensuring nothing gets soggy. The grilled pork was very nicely grilled, and super tender! They also included little packages of hoisin sauce and sriracha which is nice, since those are usually provided at the table when dining in. read more

Craving a tofu vermicelli bowl but haven't had any luck finding one I really like. Stumbled upon this business through Yelp and decided to call to pick up my order. Pros: - noodles were the perfect amount - noodles weren't overcooked -good value for the price I paid (ate this entire order in two separate sittings) -server asked if I needed utensils, I declined b/c I had them at home, great to ask the customer in case but didn't want to waste their supply! -they didn't add peanuts when I told them I had an allergy - very important!!! Cons: -to go box got a bit soggy after awhile of sitting in fridge -tofu was a bit bland, otherwise cooked well I will definitely be back! They are located about 20 minutes away from me and I don't mind driving the distance to satisfy my craving! read more

Kim Phuong - Tofu vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Renton, Washington

Broth was very salty. Noodles were mushy. Meat was overcooked. Spring rolls were delicious. 2.5 out of 5.

WOW. Never have i ever been so impressed by a pho restaurant. Just because it has an unassuming interior does not mean it cannot deliver extravagance. And I'm talking in terms of service and food. My husband and I have been there 5x now, and the male server recognized and remembered my "extra cilantro on the side" during our 2nd visit. Brownie points for keen memory and active hospitality. There's a sweetest-of-the-sweet lady who I assumed was the owner, but she laughed and said she wished, and that it was a family business. More brownie points, we have a soft spot for fam-run things. If Yelp would allow me to double this 5-star rating, I'd give it because my husband keeps going back for the doubled amount of meat in his pho. "I seriously have never seen so much beef," which then I responded with snapping a photo (see what I mean?). BROTH: so savory and hearty, like it was boiled for days. FRESH ROLLS: always freshly wrapped, even if you go 30 mins before closing; no more hardened skins, praise baby Jesus. COST: shockingly average. SERVICE: we want to call the guy and lady our friends. It's our new go-to pho real. i had to :) read more

Kim Phuong - MEAT FOR DAYS. - Vietnamese Near Me - Renton, Washington

We moved to Issaquah recently and have been struggling to find good vietnamese food without needing to head west. The two Vietnamese restaurants in Issaquah are quite terrible. We saw Kim Phuong on the way to Viet Wah to pick up some asian groceries and decided to give it a try. It's an easy drive down 900 and a convenient stop if we're heading to Viet Wah. We've had the bun rieu and the BBH which were both excellent! Prices were also good and the overall selection of options on the menu is extensive. We're looking forward to trying other items on the menu at our next visit. Service is friendly but a bit slow, which is not something unexpected at a lot of casual asian restaurants. We're used to it and it's not a big detractor for us if the food is good! And it is! read more

Great pho and other food items. Broth is always served hot, flavorful and savory. You can really taste all the spices they use, especially if you add some fat oil (nuoc beo) back to the soup in your bowl. If you're a true pho lover, order the #14 (large!) with side of fat broth and vinegar onions. You should be doing this at every pho place; however as far as I know, this applies more the southern-style pho as I know there are regional differences in preparation and flavor. Service overall is acceptable for the food type they offer. They're attentive to your needs when you need them to be. I've never had my order messed up, but again results may vary. It's quick and to the point like most Vietnamese places. At least they don't look at you funny when you ask for order customization. Overall, pho fans can certainly find something to like at Kim Phuong. If you find yourself in the Renton highlands, give them a try! read more

A fellow Yelper(thanks @eatwithjlau) highly recommended Kim Phuong for Vietnamese food in the Renton Highlands neighborhood. Not sure how I missed it because I used to live really close by. I guess they also just recently launched a Kim Phuong vegetarian restaurant which I'm super excited about, but don't get them mixed up if you're hunting for meat. First of all, I'm impressed at the extensive menu. There's many options here, from appetizers to pho to rice dishes to noodle trays. There's even a Hun Bo Hue category with like 5 options within it. I was craving short ribs because you can't go wrong with short ribs, it came with an egg, veggies, and my favorite with the oil green onions to garnish the ribs. Super yummy and it cost me like $10. It's a no frill type of place, straight forward with good food. Yes, they take credit cards! Yes, there's parking! Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more
