I always go here with family and friends. It’s a perfect pho shop. I get the Bun Bo Hue all the time. My boyfriend got the wonton noodle soup. Workers here are very kind!

Pho is not so good here :(
The noodles were too al dente / firm for me, and it seems they didn't wash the noodles after boiling since the broth had a noticeable ricey flavor. The soup was also not hot enough by the time it got to me.
Service was quick and great, though.

Wow! Real great find! Has a wide variety Vietnamese menu at reasonable prices with very good and quick service! No frills but looked busy with many locals enjoying their lunch! We both liked our food and would happily return! There were signs indicating they only take MasterCard & Visa, so probably no AMEX here. Also, looked like they had a $10 minimum to use a credit card, but that's not really hard to meet.

Really delicious veggie pho here! The staff were very friendly and courteous. I definitely recommend this place! ? There is something here for all pallettes :)
As part of my new year resolution, I am going out of my comfort zone and trying new things. Today, I finally tried Kim Son. I live in the neighborhood and walked to the restaurant. They were at full capacity but quickly greeted me as I entered. I asked to place a takeout order and was given a menu. I decided on the #3 Beef Pho. I was quoted a 10 minute wait for my food. I waited outside and checked out the Balboa Theater a few doors down. I returned in exactly 10 minutes, and my order was just being placed near the register. I'm very impressed with the promptness considering how busy the dining room appeared. The staff member was very nice and welcoming. A short walk home and I unpacked my order. The broth was in a large contained, there was a small bag of bean sprouts with sprigs of basil, jalapeños and packets of hoison sauce, and finally a takeout container that held the thinly sliced beef, noodles, and freshly chopped spring onions and cilantro. I combined everything in a large bowl and indulged in a very flavorful meal that left me full and smiling. I will definitely be trying more of their many offerings in the near future. A great meal and experience to start off the new year!

Been coming here on & off for years; it’s an OK to good Vietnamese restaurant. Their soups are decent (the #12 is highly recommended), same goes for their combination plates.

I was planning to come here several times and ended up here today. So far this place is the best among all that I have visited as a lover of Vietnamese soups. There was such a place on Irving, but after 35 years of business, it closed. And so I found the same quiet, unobtrusive place with good food. Look at this thick, flavorful soup - it's very good! I recommend.

Read online reviews and decided to give this place a try. Wholesome Vietnamese comfort food. Tried the house special pho and it was great. Large portion, TONs of meat (which is a big bonus) and tasty broth. Definitely will come back to try out other dishes that all look delicious. The server was attentive and just have a very homy vibe ?. If you are in this neighborhood, you should give this place a try. ?????☺️

Not many pho places around here so I was really happy to find this spot. Their serving sizes are hefty and food doesn't take a long time to come out. The imperial rolls were sooo good and crispy and flavorful.The pho was pretty standard. 4* review because there were a lot of flies flying around bothering us during our meal :(. I'd come back though!
