- Tere PerryAugust 9, 2018If you're looking for traditional Vietnamese dishes served in a lavish setting, this is the place you want. Choose from a wide variety of noodle dishes, and don't miss the pot stickers & spring rolls!
I go here every year to celebrate my birthday. Great food, generous portions, friendly service. TRY THE Mekong Spicy Fish. Great flavor. The basil elevates it to a masterpiece.
AyeMarch 1, 2016We made a tradition of returning once a year when we come back to the US. Love they still have 1/2 price appetizers # the bar. Fried sticky rice and quail-- One of my favorite dishes there.- Houston PressSeptember 25, 2013The charbroiled Vietnamese fajitas are a fusion of both the old and new worlds, and the Vietnamese crepes, garlic butter fried shrimp and sugarcane shrimp are not to be missed.
Ask for mgr if you must, in order to get your check-in deal if the waiter claims to not know! Keep in mind, that the 10% off, is ONLY off of ONE meal instead of the entire order like most restaurants!
Alex S.October 1, 2013I did not have a better General Tso's chicken than at this place: large, tender, juicy chunks of meat with delicious crust from outside. That's how this dish should be prepared!- Tere PerryMay 11, 2018Traditional Vietnamese cuisine, served in an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere. The extensive menu has something for everyone!
- Houston PressAugust 12, 2014Since 1982, after she fled her first restaurant in Vinh Long, Vietnam, Mama La has been sharing authentic Vietnamese food with Houstonians. Read more
Love the Viatnamese Fajitas! Viatnamese & Mexican collide into awesomeness!
Phillip SteckerAugust 18, 2018Great food, huge selection on the menu. One of the go to restaurants in Htown.- Tofu Deluxe is my favorite dish, along with a glass of Texas Tea.

CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 6, 2012In 1982, Kim Su Tran La, opened the second Kim Son in Houston’s Old Chinatown downtown. The first Kim Son was in Vinh Long province at the tip of southern Vietnam.
Yvonne LopezApril 16, 2013They won't give you the 10% off the whole bill just ONE dish per order. The one least expensive one of course.
Margaret BarnesSeptember 25, 2022Boy, has this place gone downhill! Not only have they pared their menu down to a single sheet, but the food is nowhere near as good, and customer service is non-existent. So sad. =(
- Alex S.December 28, 2016Alas, Kim Son is not what it used to be many years ago. Now it became a mass producer of low quality Asian food for their not so discerning patrons.
Elsa MoyaNovember 3, 2013I guess my palate is too finicky but the general tso's chicken and their sesame chicken is AWFUL!! It tastes fishy!!! Took 1 bite and returned the platter.. NASTY! Not coming back.
- Margaret BarnesSeptember 25, 2022We went for a treat night recently and got sub-standard food and rudeness instead of customer service. We used to be such big fans; it broke our hearts to leave angry. Horrible experience!
Maddie DuncanJuly 10, 2011Do not order hot and sour soup. It's sweet rather than being, as the name suggests, sour.
Anthony MartinezMarch 29, 2013The discount here is a lie...they won't take any thing off from my ticket because I am here with someone.
