I’m from CT and whenever I visit, one of my Go-To places is Kim’s! The Lemongrass chicken is TO DIE FOR!! ??And the coffee is amazing. Very healthy!! Definitely recommend!

I've only ever had the Bhan mi and salad rolls, both of which are excellent. However, every time I'm there and see other people with other food it always looks wonderful.

Food is delicious and prices are reasonable. But BE WARNED that the website for this restaurant is maintained by a third party (Simplemenu) that adds 15-20% to the price for each menu item for pickup and delivery orders. This upcharge is not separately identified or disclosed on the website. I pointed out this issue when picking up my online order. The cashier shrugged, was aware of the price difference, and explained that they don't run their own website. Try calling instead to get the actual menu price - although it's very hard to get anyone to answer the phone.

I grew up in Albany, and out of the innumerable great restaurants in the Bay, if I only have limited time - this one will ALWAYS be on my list!

This place is welcoming and friendly. It is very clean and comfortable. The quality I expected was met every time. One thing though is that you must request “no jalapeños please” because this is a standard ingredient.

I went to Kims Cafe for the first time the other day. I’ve gone back serval times since! I get the Lemongrass Tofu Bahn Mi or the BBQ Tofu Bahn Mi. They’re always delicious! The service is great and the food affordable. I’d definitely recommend it.

I ate here last Saturday and ordered the beef noodle soup. The soup was clean-taste and refreshing. I looked for a clearer instead of full of spices or denser soup, so it was the right choice for me! Tender beef with still some bite and a good amount of noodle to fill me up. The staff was friendly. A nice place to sit alone and enjoy a bowl of soup during a cool evening ☺️.

Kim's is amazing fast service Vietnamese food. We always go for the bahn mi, which is delicious, and their spring rolls. But really, you can't go wrong. The staff is always wonderful, and even if the line is out the door there isn't much of a wait. You have to try this place.

This is one of my family's favorite places to eat or pick up to-go food. The lemongrass chicken salad is soooo good. Great sandwiches. When I get a headache, I get the chicken noodle soup. It helps. I highly recommend. Note - it can be busy during the Albany high lunch break.
