    The place was empty but we decided to try since we were already in the plaza. It's decorated like a sports bar, not an Asian restaurant. Food came out quickly. It was bad... we couldn't even eat the meat. The broth overflowed the bowl. Asked for steamed sprouts and they came out boiled and wet/soggy in the basket. The veggies they give a very small amount... not even enough for one person. The soup itself was oily. The flavor was ok. The entire spoonful of soup was greasy. My guest couldn't eat at all. The noodles were over cooked and mushy. The meat was in chunks not slices and it was chewy and gamey. The meat was inedible. Neither of us at any meat as shown in the photo. No one came to check on us even once and I had to call them by yelling past the drapes so we could pay. I told the woman working about the meat and she couldn't care less. She was rude and condescending. Her only response to anything was yeah well sorry about that. I will never step foot in this place again. Piss poor service and the food was inedible. I should have followed my gut from my last visit and stayed clear. It's definitely on my no way list now.

    Tofu pad Thai. 6 small pieces of floppy tofu (soft) no peanuts or egg. Very disappointed.

    Pho is decent for Burlington. $4 up charge to add a few pieces of broccoli and carrots. Broth has good flavor. Pad Thai is disappointing.

    Food was very good. Started with chicken spring roll. Girlfreind had the pho combo which she liked and I had the chicken hibachi.

    Visiting for the weekend and my friend took me here. We ordered take out and while we waited had a beer at the bar. They have a wide selection of beer and liquor, they also have a pool table and some nice music playing. The place probably has around eight tables, nice quaint spot. Everyone there was very nice and friendly! I had the shrimp hibachi and my friend ordered the shrimp pho. The hibachi was very good, nice big shrimp and the broccoli was seasoned very nicely. The rice was a little salty, didn't need any soy sauce. Next time I would ask for extra broccoli. My friend enjoyed her pho, she eats there at least once a week.

    I have been looking for pho spots since moving to the area early this year & this was my best find. Compared to 'saigon' down the street, they blow them out the water. We had the whole place to ourselves, waitress was awesome & friendly, playlist was fire, they even have a pool table! We had the fried chicken egg rolls, beef pho & combo pho. Egg rolls were a bit underwhelming but still tasted good! The Pho was AHMAHHHZZINNNGG. I will continue to eat here regularly, that's a fact.

    Nice service and the hibachi beef with fried rice is excellent! Sweet tea is good, too, which is important to this Southern gal.

    Agree, best Pho in Burlington! The fried chicken spring rolls were also delicious. Causal atmosphere. Polite service.

    Went here with a party of 4 and waited for 40 minutes for sub-par food. I ordered the beef pho and it was alright, but not worth waiting 40 minutes for. There seemed to be only 3 employees working so that may have been the reason. Lastly, the long wait time gave us plenty of time to observe the questionable sanitation of the restaurant.

    Everyone wants that quick and easy Chinese take-out place that they can stop in when the cravings…read morehit, and this place happens to be close to home, so I was excited to try it out. My one and only time stopping in was at lunch on a weekday, so it wasn't that busy, at all. There were some gentlemen there from the nearby construction crews that were waiting for their order, so I stepped up to the register, grabbed a menu and started looking for what it was I craved. Pretty immediately, a woman came out and stood there like the Soup Nazi (everyone remember Seinfeld?). I felt very rushed and so went with the first thing that came to me head for Chinese food, Orange chicken, steamed white rice...oh, and throw in some egg rolls! She asked me to point it out on the menu, to which I did. Now, remember this is noon, on a weekday, and I am all by my lonesome. She ended up giving me the Crispy Orange Chicken from the 'House Suggestion' section on their menu -- which is $13.95. Mind you, their lunch special for Crispy Orange Chicken is $6.95, plus fine print that states $.50/each extra for egg rolls. All in total, it was about $22 for lunch...for just me. The math isn't mathing for me. Not friendly and dishonest takes away the additional star I'd have ranked this place for good chicken. I feel like there could have been way better service, at minimum, to at least ask if I wanted the LUNCH combo, or confirm that I wanted a large portion of just Orange chicken for just me and maybe describe what that entails. No. You don't get that here. The pictures on their hanging menu board are wanting, as well -- some even hanging off precariously. The rest of the ambiance/decor in this place is very dive, but that would be the least of their worries if they were just friendly. I can even handle the less than stellar - or zero - communication, as well, but can we have some more pictures of menu items on the wall so we know what some of your highlights are? And can we take a picture on an iPhone? Not a 1997 QuickPix Polaroid that fell in olive oil. I actually had no idea they served Pad Thai, which is one of my favorites, until I looked at the menu after I got home -- in preparation for this review. They advertise themselves as Chinese, Japanese and Thai dine-in and take-out. This place has all the potential of thriving if they would just put in some effort for marketing and genuinely trying to assist those walking in off the street -- that in and of itself would have went a long way. Luckily, the orange chicken, as well as their rice, was very good -- the egg rolls were the worst I've ever had; very soft, not filled completely, and mystery contents. All in all, I am very curious to try them out again, for their pad Thai and some other items of interest, but to all consumers out there, you really want to make sure you know what you want prior to stopping in, which is a shame when it comes to 60%+ of your clientele that are more than likely going to stop in after grocery shopping at Lowes, or just being in the general area.

    This is at the brand newly opened location on church street, not the old one on Huffman mill…read more Waited a couple minutes to be seated. There was an employee there chit chatting with a customer while we waited. She then walked away and said someone would be with us shortly. The stand was unattended and we weren't even sure we were in the correct spot. The opposite lot was full so we parked on the south side and thankfully got it right. It would be helpful to mark the entrance in case we parked the opposite side. The turn in going south has one turn on the opposite end. Plenty of parking. The place looks brand new: nice decor. Server Chelsea was very nice and helpful. She got a chicken pasta Alfredo and I got a shrimp and crab cake sandwich. The pasta was way overdone and mushy. It was even very watery. The chicken was sweet. Sweet chicken and Alfredo was pretty terrible. They said all the chicken has the sweet marinade. They should have specified that on the menu because we would have never ordered sweet chicken especially not with Alfredo sauce. The dish in my opinion was pretty bad. I would give that a 1.5/5. Mine was decent. I liked the dill sauce. The bun was sweet and small for the patty but it was ok. The fries were over salted but they came out piping hot and fresh. Would I eat there again? Probably not. It's a small menu with a lot of chicken dishes. Their signature sweet chicken sauce was a turn off for both of us. It was reasonably priced and the server was nice. Overall I have to give the place a 3.5/5. The waiting when we went in and having ro listen to an employee chatting with her friend was off putting while we waited. Had she acknowledged and said someone was coming would have been fine but she completely ignored us until she finished her conversation before saying anything and that was a good 2-3 minutes. The food was a 2.5/5 and the service from Chelsea was excellent. I can't say the same for the lady that ignored us. I give it a 3/5 for that reason. Rounding it up to 4 only because it was so clean and Chelsea's attendance

    I was on the way home from the Triangle, in need of lunch, and in possession of a banh mi craving,…read moreso geographic convenience more than anything led me to Kalm's door. Tucked inside a plaza shared with a Food Lion, it isn't much to look at inside or out. However, some of the best Vietnamese and Thai places are these too-easily ignored hole-in-the-wall joints, and Kalm proved to be no exception. In addition to a few banh mi options, Kalm's menu includes rice and noodle dishes, apps, boba tea, poke, and pho. There are several vegetarian selections as well as a kid's menu. If I didn't have a specific craving, I might have had a hard time choosing as several other dishes looked good. I went with a classic Banh Mi Dac Biet (roast pork, sausage, and veggies on a baguette). Kalm's preparation was different than I've had elsewhere: they serve the sandwich deconstructed with cilantro, cucumbers, carrot, daikon, and jalapeños on the side. This preempts patrons from picking out any toppings they don't like. At any rate, the banh mi definitely hit the spot. The bread was very warm and flaky, and the meats were flavorful. The cucumbers, daikon, and carrots offered a refreshing balance to their saltiness. Service here is also great. I got a greeting when I walked in, my order was taken and prepared quickly, and everyone was pleasant and polite throughout the meal. For those despairing about Burlington's food options, you needn't have to drive far to find some welcome variety. Support local, keep Kalm, and carry on.
