Lunch menu
Kiet L.

If you want a quiet authentic home cooked meal that is reasonable and packed with flavor don't let this tucked away restaurant fool you. The restaurant is small and there is never a lunch rush but I would think it would have more because of the prices and how it feels like my mom made me a bowl of food. In the past I've had the bun bo hue and this meal I had the Bo kho. It tastes like what I would get in Vietnam or from Alief area. If you need authentic Vietnamese in the NW area definitely give Kim's a visit! My friend had the lunch vermicelli bowl and he said it's the best in the area. The lady that served us ran the entire front of the restaurant from serving, register, and bussing. Give it a try. You won't regret it. It's small and also decorated with hand paintings to showcase the culture of Vietnam as well.

6.18.25 Well I am now positive they are not the same owners as before. I came in to get take out. One couple were eating when o came in. I placed my order and had to repeat my order 3 times. I waited for about 15 minutes and my order came out except for my avocado smoothie. I had to tell them twice I did not get my smoothie. I had to wait for lady to make it and it was the worst smoothie I have ever had. I mean EVER! It tasted like a piece of cardboard. Even my husband would not drink it. The grilled pork was not good either. It was paper thin and had no flavor. No char-grilled marks like before. The vegetables on my vermicelli dish were like a dirty sock. I did not eat them. I ended up throwing most of my order in the trash. As I was waiting I noticed 2 tables towards the restroom that had so much "junk" on them. I began to worry about my dinner choice. (See photo) If this is what they have in the dining area I DON'T want to imagine areas that I cannot see. (I should have listened to my "little" voice and cancelled my order and left) Sad to say after eating at Kim Pho Grill for years and years; I will NOT be returning here.

Came in for a late lunch during the week. Place was empty. We were greeted immediately. Service was fast. Portions are large and food was tasty.

Kim's Pho & Grill is a tucked away Gem on the Northside of town. One of the best Pho joints I have eaten at on this side of town. I ordered the Spicy Beef Pho and it did not disappoint. Slow roasted beef with a rich red deeply flavored broth, to which I guarantee took a day to cook. Service was great as well. Was greeted by a very small woman with a huge personality and an even bigger smile. She made me feel right at home and was so delightful. I will be back!

Food is delicious especially the grilled pork sandwich my favorite, service is good lady so nice, the Ambiance is nice and clean really nice place to come and eat.

I love a good spicy pho with noodles and beef! Of late, I have been putting together a list of all the places I have visited and enjoyed. I've been to a few places before trying Kim's, but she's undoubtedly my number one after coming here. She also took the time to ask about the other foods I like in Vietnamese culture. She begin to explain this sauces is better with this type of pho or used this spread on certain sandwiches. I learned about the difference in Milk Teas, too. But she introduced me to the pork spring roll; it was so good, with the right texture, and the bite was easy, with no pulling. The pork and veggies were plentiful. It's by far my favorite spring roll now. Oh one more thing that's so important, she told me I could always request my meat cooked when I'm doing a take out order. I appreciate that so much because I feel like I overcooked the meat because I don't know what I'm doing. So stop in at Kim's, it's such a cute place and get you a lesson in Vietnamese food, too.

This is what I did not get.

The food does not match what you order. I ordered the special chicken teriyaki and once home it looked nothing like to advertised picture. In fact it was dried chicken chunks and nothing near what I ordered. I was not happy after I drove over there to pick it up and was very disappointed with the final product.

Someone on yelp told me about the spot and I'm glad I gave them a try. Anytime a restaurant goes out of their way and has something like a drive-through that is an automatic win in my book. You can simply call in your order pick it up in the drive-through and go about your business. I got a deal on door dash so I use my 40% off coupon to try them out. Let me tell you it was worth it. Food: I got the grilled pork with egg and eggrolls. The Vietnamese eggrolls are probably my favorite. They were so fresh and grilled to perfection. They were absolutely amazing. The grilled pork was very good and very fresh but it was not like your typical charbroiled Vietnamese party fine at most to some restaurants. It was thinly slice but it was good and it's on right. Just not what I'm used to getting from Vietnamese restaurants. The rice was good, the egg was good,. I was very happy with the food. The people that work there are extremely nice and very friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and they make sure they take care of your meal exactly like you ordered it. This is a hidden gem. I will definitely go back. Good job guys.

Chicken spring roll

Haven't been back to Kim's in too long and I was glad to be back - never had a mediocre thing here! We picked up some banh mi sandwiches, as well as the pork and the chicken spring rolls, and topped it off with two smoothies - honeydew and avocado (don't knock it 'til you try it!). Kim's beats out the nearby competition for Vietnamese cuisine on account of using super fresh ingredients, friendly and prompt service, and a tremendous value. The bread they use is insanely good. The pork, chicken, and beef were all tender, gristle-free cuts. And that peanut sauce for the spring rolls is super addictive! You'd be hard-pressed to find a fresher, tastier meal from a local spot for the price.

The filling is placed in a pan and then a thin layer of batter made with tumeric and coconut milk yellow batter is poured on top. You wrap the lettuce around the bánh xèo/bánh khọt and dip it in the fish sauce. I got the bánh khọt and the bò né. Bánh khọt is like a mini, thicker version of bánh xèo and came with nine pieces. Their bánh khọt was crispy, sweet and savory, and went well with the fish sauce. Although the portions initally look small, they are very filling. The bò né was filling and sizzling when it came out. It also came with a side of salad. The meat was tender. I really liked the bánh khọt and would definitely come back for them. It's nice having an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in our area, close to us, so we don't have to make the trek to Bellaire every time we crave some Viet food!

I couldn't have been more wrong. Xeo Yum (#1) as it turns out is one of the most legit Vietnamese places in Midtown serving up some of the city's best banh xeo and banh khot. Located inside of a Food Hall (#2) in the back corner, they have low-key become a destination and without question, the most popular stall in the entire place. The fan base didn't happen overnight but is a direct result of Chef Cuong Nguyen's commitment to quality Vietnamese fare. Banh Xeo is their signature item, which is also known as a sizzling crepe or pancake made of rice flour, tumeric, and coconut milk. The banh xeo holds well, is perfectly crispy, and is nicely stuffed with an assortment of beans sprouts, shrimp, and some of the best grilled pork belly I've had. Another specialty item that doesn't get enough mention is their banh khot, which is similar but has a mini muffin / cupcake like appearance made in a specialty cast iron mold. This version is wonderfully crispy and pairs perfectly with fresh greens and fish sauce with some funk. It is my favorite item here. Some have argued they also serve one of the best bo ne (#3), the Vietnamese version of steak and eggs served in a skillet. The chunks of beef are nice and tender with just a tad of char, served with two fried eggs, and a banh mi baguette with a mix of butter and spare. Normally I think of spam or sausage included with the meats, but Chef Cuong's spin is with cherry tomatoes. It's a different approach and I'm not mad at it. Folks not looking for this can shoot for bo luc lac, aka shaking beef, which is also recommended. The staff here is sweet, hard-working, and very friendly. They also make a mean Vietnamese coffee and offer free iced self-serve water. The prices are what I would expect in a Midtown food hall, and there's plenty of seating. Anyone checking out the food hall need to make Xeo Yum as part of their eating itinerary. __________ (#1) A play on the Vietnamese sizzling crepe, Banh "xeo" and yum" (#2) Previously the Conservatory and now Stestí Food Hall.

I've been to Huynh's many times but it had been a while since I don't frequent downtown nor the medical center as much as I used to. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it's only a 5 minute walk from Marriott Marquis. We walked in late on a Saturday evening (the night of an Astros game down the street at Daikin Park) around 8 pm. We were promptly seated, and the service overall was very good. Everyone was friendly and attentive. My glass of water was always full. We ordered a standard large pho with 4 meats. At first I thought the broth looked a little light, but overall it was delicious. Grilled pork vermicelli with egg roll was amazing as expected. And lastly the pan fried noodle seafood plate was a hit. Everything we ordered and ate was great and we devoured it all. I will say that Huynh's is pricey, so don't think this is like cheap Asian takeout. It's quite nice in terms of ambiance despite the tight parking and surrounding businesses being a bit dingy.

The restaurant was easy to find, right off Main Street, and parking was a breeze. When we walked in, the restaurant had a modern look with a beautiful mural celebrating the homeland. We were greeted and told to sit wherever we'd like, so we picked a table and settled in. Our server came by with the menus, napkins, utensils, and plates, all neatly stacked, and then gave us some time before coming back to take our order. We ordered several different bowls of pho so everyone could try something -- salmon, steak and meatballs, and the combo (đặc biệt). Of course, we also had to try their dry pho. We also noticed they had a mango salad with a choice of protein, and since that sounded intriguing, we decided to give that a try too. The mango salad came out first, and I'm honestly still not quite sure how I feel about it. The mango was tart, and there was a creamy element that gave the salad an interesting texture and flavor. I did really like the grilled shrimp, though. Out of the protein options, I'd recommend the shrimp with this salad, although I could also see chicken pairing well with the flavors. Then came the pho. We tried several different broths, and they were all flavorful on their own. I didn't feel like they needed anything added unless you prefer extra spice or seasoning. I also really appreciated how generous they were with the basil. There was plenty to go around, which is always a win when you're eating pho! As we finished up, our server came back to the table with our check and small spoons filled with what looked like crème brûlée. We asked her what it was, and she said she didn't know. We mentioned that it looked like crème brûlée, and she agreed before walking away. I'm not sure if this was something complimentary, a leftover from another dish, or something we were supposed to know about, but it was definitely an unexpected ending to the meal. If you know what this was, I'd love to know! Overall, we'd definitely come back. The food was great, the pho was flavorful, and there were plenty of options for everyone. The service could use a little improvement. Our server seemed to have some difficulty communicating in English, and we could have used a few water refills during the meal. Nothing major -- we probably just needed to speak up more. Good food, easy parking, a nice atmosphere, and a family-friendly menu. We'd come back to try more of what Old Saigon has to offer.

The spring rolls were pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The dipping sauce they packed for both the spring rolls and pork bowls had a faint flavor of something that could have had potential, but did not deliver. There was a small garnish of pickled onions and shredded carrot that went so well with the pork bowls. If they included more of that, the bowls would have been star status. But they didn't. And they weren't. Overall, I had a decent lunch. Maybe next time I'll dine in to see if that makes a difference.
