    Mmmm chicken pad thai so good here
    Trav H.

    I love this place. Their pho, and their chicken pad thai are delicious. Been coming here for many years. Servers are nice, relaxed atmosphere.

    Interesting interior. Dated. Needs new seating and updating.

    Location is convenient. The restaurant is dated and cluttered. Ambiance isn't the best. 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.

    Spring rolls
    Brittany W.

    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.

    Menu

    The food was good. I especially like the fresh spring roll. The service was good too. My food and beverage ordered came out very fast. Also I came in before dinner rush time.

    Grilled pork Banh mi - ok amount of meat and bread is not hard (which is a good thing)

    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.

    The seem to be a bit understaffed during peak hours. Expect a wait The good is amazing and worth the wait.. the quite possibly have the best broth in the business

    Chicken wings
    Katherine Y.

    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.

    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.

    Short rib
    Carrie M.

    Delicious! Comfortable little while in the wall with great food and staff. The beef short ribs were delicious. Yummy broth.

    Vy T.

    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.

It was tender and flavorful. You even got a bit of that wok char on it when they cooked it all together with the bell peppers. It was the most satisfying thing we ate. The chicken wings were flavorful as well but didn't love the coating. It was super crunchy but just a little too heavy on the coating for my preference. The pho was not anything I would go out of my way for. But it did its job. And for $13 for a combo pho, I was not mad at it all. Definitely packed with a lot of noodles if you appreciate that too. The broth was solid. The service was friendly. It's a small restaurant with a good amount of seating. Nothing fancy at all. But you don't hear for vibes.

When I do that I'm always honestly stuffed. I find that the perfect portion of food is the regular and a few tempura. With that said, I know they have tempura Udon but incase you're split between that one and another, get the other option, you can pick up your choice of tempura variety down the line. I love how quick the food is ready and despite it always being busy, I've never had to stand around for seating.

The chewy bounciness at my favorite Japanese locations is almost physics-defying. The texture is simply divine. In comparison, this mouth feel is a cheap knock-off. The broth is not bad. The dashi is not as satisfying, but this was drinkable without being bland or too oily. I was more impressed by the fried sides. The giant potato croquette was excellent. The level of crisp and mushiness of the inside was on-point. The chicken was also nicely crispy and juicy. Of course, the fact that it was dark meat automatically gave it a head start over a lot of American fried chicken filets. The zucchini was good. The pumpkin was a bit dried out, but I think that was partly because I ate it last. Overall, this is quite authentic, from the way the noodles are prepared, to the way customers self-serve the sides. They even have a tray return. There are certain Japanese main-stays that I wanted to see, which are missing. Like, some kind of fish in the tempura line would've been nice. One of the biggest localizations is probably the veggie udon, which is violently un-Japanese looking with its carrots and broccoli and would certainly ruin the mouth feel of a smooth bowl of udon. If there's one plant root you want in an authentic veggie sanuki udon, I'd argue it should be grated daikon radish, which I don't think they have. But well, having too many unfamiliar things might be off-putting. That grated ginger at the end is already dangerous enough lol.

To a large extent, and for a very long time in history, Japan was regarded as the end of the Eurasian continent. Anything that reached Japan was deeply respected and meticulously studied, which ultimately gave birth to traditions like the Tea Ceremony (Chado), Japanese Cuisine (Washoku), and Swordsmanship (Kendo). Years ago, during a visit to Japan, I had the privilege of visiting the famous "God of Tempura," Tetsuya Ototani. He has been frying tempura for over 50 years, cooking millions of pieces throughout his career. Because of his legendary reputation, Japan's NHK TV station invited him to host a show where two young, attractive women were tasked with learning under him as apprentices. After two weeks, these two women began serving guests. However, when the quality of their tempura turned out to be terribly poor, he berated them sharply: "Do you have any idea how many storms this fish had to endure, and how many predators it had to evade, just to grow to this size? It required the finest sailors using the best equipment to catch it, and the most skilled handlers to transport it to us. How dare you fry it so carelessly, is this how you repay all those people?" His philosophy and profound understanding of his craft left a lasting impression on me. The sukiyaki here is Kanto-style. The soup base, known as warishita, is prepared in advance by simmering Japanese soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and a touch of kelp and bonito stock. It is then poured directly into the pot to simmer together with the beef and vegetables. The broth was rich and the vegetables were super fresh. The soup base had a slight sweetness to it, but it was honestly way too salty. Although the word 'Omurice' is a combination of the French 'omelette' and the English 'rice,' and it looks like a Western dish, it is actually classified in Japanese food culture as quintessential Yōshoku (Western-influenced Japanese cuisine) dishes created or adapted by the Japanese between the late 19th and early 20th centuries to suit local tastes and ingredients. The curry was rich in flavor, the rice was sweet and fragrant, and the eggs were wonderfully soft and tender. The fried chicken on the side, however, was way too salty. The eel tasted great, highly recommended! The atmosphere was fantastic, they have an open kitchen, spacious seating, comfortable chairs, and just the right lighting. The staff were outstanding, they spoke fluent English and Mandarin, and their service was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly welcoming.
