Really love Karma Son! ❤ Modern Chinese food prepared with authentic Chinese cooking techniques, so the flavors feel both delicious and genuinely wholesome. Everything we tried tasted fresh, balanced, and not overly heavy.
There are so many interesting dishes on the menu that I honestly want to come back and try every single one! And don’t skip dessert—it’s definitely worth trying. 🍰

Great food, super friendly and attentive people. Clean restaurant and restrooms. The AC was not working today but they bought the first round of beverages for everyone as a thank you for the heat. A nice touch. The food was really good. Parking was better than expected and first two hours were free. I would say they need to reposition the Google PIN so you can go right to the place but still great.
Ordered the shrimp fried rice and the chow mein noodles. The food was good - the fried rice had descent flavor w- well cooked shrimp, and the chow mein was fine and not too greasy - it is a solid 4star meal if you are already n the area, but it is not a kind of food you find yourself craving to comeback for.. 😊😊
