mee katang with beef = $12.75
Trung N.

I was craving mee katang on this side of town so I found myself here. I ordered the mee katang with beef ($12.75) and a fried egg. They load the noodles up with plenty of vegetables which I greatly appreciated. The mee katang was good and exactly what I was looking for. While I do prefer a thicker gravy, this satiated my craving. Kim Sun is a quiet mom and pop shop. The menu is straightforward and the restaurant itself is cozy. Perfect for a quick and easy lunch.

My friend told me about this spot over a sesh so I decided after to satisfy my munchie craving . When I showed up I was a little confused at parking I guess u just find a spot and throw it in P. Inside it's very mom and pop ish few tables for you to dine clean and simple, good service straight to the point . I ordered the house fried rice it was bomb tasted fresh no hard rice or anything like that . I also ordered the beef kebab and it came with like a side of salad type stuff together it was the one! Tasted great and the meat was tender and juicy with the crisp from the salad paired well with a lil sriracha also . I also ordered this noodle with veggies and beef that's where they won me over tasted very authentic and flavorful they also hooked it up with a bone broth soup I never tried before super bomb the taste threw me way off as it was unexpected delicious. Definitely coming back .

Solid noodle spot. I haven't had their rice dishes. I need 85 characters to post this review

A sweet place to get comfort food. This local spot has been around for years. Even though it's new owners, it's still a great establishment with the same great taste and recipes. My favorite go-to is their Hainan chicken or beef loc lak. Ice coffee is 5/5, you just have to try it for yourself. Service is always quick and everything seems to always be cooked fresh. The ambiance is very comforting and well-maintained.

Lately been ordering take out. Large portion to eat later. Call in and just go pick it up, in and out fast service within 15 mins.

Chewy almost inedible beef
Jacqueline S.

I was hesitant to write a review, in case the food was good. I went and first off customer service was horrible. I asked for rice and beef w/ broccoli and stir fry noodles with beef. She then repeated noodle soup so I said no soup, stir fry. She said she didn't understand, understandable but she tossed the menu at me saying just point. The total was almost $36. Which was iffy to me but whatever. Fine okay, when she hands me my order I asked if there was soy sauce, she never once looked up at me and said in there. I asked for chopsticks ( seeing as how there's two people and two plates) she tossed one on the counter still not looking up and I asked for another one. She then tossed them on the counter without saying anything or looking up. When I got home there was a chicken soup on top of my two plates, so she charged me something I didn't want. The noodles WERE HORRENDOUS. I had to pull them apart by hand, they were sticky and all stuck together (picture provided after I tried pulling them apart myself) there was only one soy sauce and the beef was super chewy and hard to break down. This was a very horrible experience here.

Phnom Phen noodles
Chris A.

Nothing but Cambodian goodness! Soup was great, noodles excellent, broth was clean, soothing, and tasty!

Rachel L.

Picking up Mama Lê's favorite dish for her birthday seafood egg noodles. I got the Phnom Penh noodle soup, and chicken chop suey. Broth was perfect for this rainy weather in Cali this morning. The famous Noodle Shack was packed, so I went up the street to another small local favorite to try theirs for the first time, it did not disappoint! And for $8 a giant bowl?! That's a steal. Dad hasn't eaten much lately and hasn't enjoyed his food, so he has lost a lot of weight. He ate his whole bowl!

Beef Lok Lak
Jacqueline M.

Went here because my son recommended it. Had the Beef Lok Lak delish! Came with a soup (don't know what kind) clear broth. Good as well.

Hai Nam Chicken w/ Bai Chai  Steamed Chicken with Fried Rice
Elizabeth C.

This place is such a hole in the wall. It's a small restaurant with only 8 tables so it's best to come early in the morning. Especially on weekends. I always order the Hai Nam Chichen with Bai Cha. (Steamed chicken with fried rice instead of white rice) my partner introduced me to this combo and it's a game changer! It also comes with a small side of bone marrow broth, cucumber, and a delicious garlic sauce. My partner orders the Beef Noodle Soup, it's packed with flavor! Just make sure to add lime, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and the bean sprouts. For drinks, we order the Thai iced tea and Iced coffee. 10/10. Service is good. There's always one woman handling the front so if you come here please be patient, and kind!

Wonton soup with rice noodles
Vanny I.

This place is like a hidden gem. It's family owned n operated. The lady at the front was very nice and attentive, she greeted us and proceeded to help us. She asked us for here or to-go (we were doing a to-go order) she handed us clean menus. We ordered: -Lot cha with beef, 5/5 (yummy, i love lot) -Beef fried rice, 5/5 (a good amount of beef) -Chicken rice porridge, 3/5 (not pictured, it was more like rice soup n less like porridge) -Wonton soup w/noodles, 5/5 (DELICIOUS, wontons (plump) n a lot of cha sur pork, shrimp, veggies n mushroom FIRE!!) -Salt and Pepper shrimp, 5/5 (crispy, salty, peppery goodness) -Beef Lok Lak, 3/5 ( my friend was raving about this cuz that's always his order, but this time it was bland, it came with sauce but that was blandish also) We will definitely come back n try other dishes n the menu.

This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / June 8, 2023

Since I have eaten there I have not seen any outdoor seating. Maybe during COVID-19 they may have had it but I never saw any tables outside.

Anyone knows if they change ownership?

Yes they also accept card now

I wanted to find out if this spot was as good as I had remembered it. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I was practically disappointed by two out of the three dishes. Two of them that should've been the best. I'll start out with the Mongolian beef. There was plenty of meat and onions and green onions, but there was no kick to it, not the greatest flavor either. It was also a little watery, which was a major letdown for me. I was really looking forward to enjoying it with the white rice that came with it. Next up was the chicken chow mein. I was expecting to have long noodles in its to go box but when I was eating it, it was small noodle cuts. That was a bit shocking for me. It also didn't have a lot of great flavor, and again I was let down. I did get vegetable fried rice, because who could actually screw that up. It was the best dish out of the three. Not a ton of flavor in it but enough for me to actually enjoy it. I tried using the leftover chow mein by putting it in a skillet and adding a few spices and oils. It improved it just a little bit, but not enough. Clearly, I can't go back here. It's like they say: buy cheap get cheap.

She did not let me down as we walked in and noticed how truly authentic it was going to look. Chinese decor on the walls and boxes of restaurant supples in the corners. Just as it should be. The bonus was that they had a TV showing the NBA Finals when we arrived. Pretty nice touch and in the back of the restaurant so as not to distract everyone. We went with a couple of our favorite dishes to run along and the Chicken Lo Mein was pretty good. Crispy pieces of chicken and soft noodles and veggies to go with it. We chose to get Mongolian Beef and it was absolutely fantastic. Crispy celery, green onions and decent sized pieces of meat in a terrific sauce. I would love to try to replicate that. My wife wanted a shrimp dish so she ordered the honey walnut and it even looked good to me when they brought it. She loves egg rolls, so she got a four piece and said they were pretty good. My biggest wow of the visit was their vegetable fried rice. MY GOD. I dont know what they season or flavor it with, but every fork full of rice that i ate, it was this sense of flavor that reminded me of butter or something else. I really loved the sensation i experienced from this particular dish. I am really curious on what it actually is. I will definitely be ordering out or coming in for Chinese because that reminded of many other places that put out fantastic dishes.

I was very happy that they had mushu pork since not too many Chinese restaurants offer this dish anymore. It did not disappoint. The pork chop was very crispy and tasted so good. The roast duck noodle soup was packed with duck meat which was tender and moist. Service was quick and efficient. Prices were reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised how good this restaurant was. Will definitely be back.

But this place is a must. You know what to expect and the food is alway great so to be a regular is nice. Every time we stop by, there not usually a wait time even though it's pretty lively. We alway get seated pretty fast. The place isn't too big but decent in size with two sections available. Staff are alway so friendly and welcoming. That's a good sign and of course the food, another reason why we come here whenever we're in the area. I have my usual that's a must for me as I know what to expect. We tend to go with either their larb or papaya salad which both dish are quite tasty and flavorful. Spice level to your liking. This visit, the larb. Always served with a wedge of cabbage. The flavor is alway great and every bite, flavorful. Of course the only place that I alway get the boat noodles. I've had it at other places but this is my favorite in Long Beach. The broth is great and thick with all the meat. Chinese broccoli accompanied as well. It's comfort food and alway hits the spots. This time we've tried another dish that we've never had. The chili garlic fish with rice. We were informed that it would take about 15 minutes which was fine. Deep fried sole fillets with garlic and chili sauce served on top a bed of mixed salad. First off, there was loads of fish and it was quite tasty and the sauce, it was good. A dish that was quite tasty and great for sharing.

The fried rice was next level good. And the tom kha soup was excellent as well. I didn't love the drunken noodles themselves but the bbq pork on the dish was delicious. The fried pork belly was a little too tough to eat but the sauces it came with were both great. And the basil eggplant was solid. Would definitely come back to try some dishes in person like the Khao soi!

The lunch special provides generous portions, with plenty to bring back. What really stood out, was how conscientious, attentive, and polite both the waitress and host were to us. As we were leaving, my wife asked the host if there had been a change in ownership or chef recently...he seemed puzzled, saying it's been the same for the past many years (family owned and operated). L17. General Tso's Chicken ($12.75) L18. Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce ($12.75) L25. Shrimp with Snow Peas ($13.75) All the lunch specials come with choice of soup (egg drop or sweet and sour), egg roll, and choice of carb (steamed rice, fried rice, noodle). Since we ordered three dishes, got to try all of the additions. I liked both the soups. The egg roll was served hot out of the fryer, but had the typical mushy 'La Choy' frozen egg roll filling that I dislike. The noodles were more like spaghetti noodles than lo mein. The fried rice was simple, with just egg added (which was fine). As for the main dishes, all the ingredients and sauces were solid. The seafood dish came in a white sauce which was OK, but had plenty of shrimp, water chestnuts, and peas. The chicken dish was good since it was served fresh, with the typical food service provider dark meat chicken chunks. The garlic sauce in the shredded pork was good, and something we would get again in other dishes. The pork was all loin and would be a good base for other dishes as well.
