Kim Ky usually has a good vibe. If you arrive in the lunch hour, you may have to wait for being seated by 10 minutes. It's not too convenient to park the car either. They always have around 5 staffs helping around. The turnovers are rather quick. We have two noodles and two dishes and they cost us $54. It's worth a try. This store is closed to the core business area of Westminster and it's popular with local residents, signaling good quality. This visit is close to the lunar new year, so it's next to the flower fest and we had a chance to go around after our lunch.
Love the pork and shrimp wontons here. So good. I always order it to go and add a side of egg noodles every few weeks. Pretty filling. The lady owner at the register is always so nice, as well as their employees, especially the food runner guy that is always in and out the kitchen constantly. Small restaurant with only a few tables but delicious noodles.
I really enjoyed this place. It's essentially a "build your own soup" situation. Choose the noodles you want, choose the protein(s), and then there's a selection of sauces, spices, and even some chicharones that you can add in. The result is what you make of it, a very tasty bowl of soup! The service was quick and friendly, the place was homey in ambiance but fresh and clean. 10/10 - I will return. :)
Every time I find myself in Little Saigon, I always end up here. I grew up eating at Kim Ky Noodle House (other location in SGV) and it's been consistently great for many years. This is what I got: 1. The #3 Assorted Meat and Shrimp w/ Rice Noodle : got it with Flat Rice Noodles + Regular Egg Noodles. I loved the contrast of the bigger rice noodles to the smaller egg ones, perfect texture. Very delicious and I recommend doing this noodle combo when you go! 2. Fried Doughnuts : Great to have on the side! I usually dip them in the soup, and it soaks up all the flavor. Service was fast, workers were friendly, and prices are very reasonable. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Tends to get very busy and the parking is a little hard to find because of the plaza it is in, but I usually end up going in the mid-afternoon and I get seated right away. Definitely try it out!
Located in a busy small plaza next to Asian garden mall finding parking is difficult but will be worth it. I arrived on a Saturday morning and there was a little wait. There is outside and inside dining tables available. I ordered a combo dry wide egg noodles (mi kho thap cam), Chinese donut (gio chao qua), and fried rice flour cake (banh bot chien). -The egg noodles were so good and I loved the broth it was so flavorful also I loved all of their topping options they had fried garlic, chopped vinegar green peppers, and fried pork belly cracklings (and more but this is all I used). Other restaurants usually skimp on the fried pork belly cracklings so I was so excited to see this restaurant have so much and give their customers the option to put as much as they want. -The gio chao quay was very good and not oily like most and it was so fluffy and had many layers inside it soaked up the broth beautifully. -The banh bot chien was good but not my favorite it wasn't crispy enough and didn't have any radishes or carrots that the dish usually comes with. The service here is fast and friendly. The food and drinks came out fresh, quickly, and my order was accurate. Overall I would definitely come back!
This place makes the absolute best comfort noodle soups in my book! We were craving something soupy and simple so we decided to check this place out and coming from NorCal - i was looking for something like TK noodle and this looked the closest to it. They're located right next to the Asian Garden Mall so parking is a bit tricky and we had to walk from the back a bit. The workers were super friendly and spoke to us in English, Viet, and Canto! The ordering process was a bit rushed but they were patient as we were trying to figure out what we wanted. The orders came out quickly and it was a treat to see that they give you little containers of the crispy pork rinds to add to your noodles! My friends and I went crazy and almost killed the entire container. Would come back to this place just alone for it!
I've ordered here countless times, and they nail it every single time--talk about consistency! Every order is just as perfect as the last. I usually get my food to go, as I prefer the comfort of my own space over the noise of dining in. Plus, dining in can sometimes come with a few odd looks from other customers. The #3 Trieu Chau noodles are my go-to, packed with generous toppings and more than enough bean sprouts, unlike many places that skimp on the condiments. The prices are fair, and the packaging is so secure that I've never had any spills or mix-ups with my order. I only wish they stayed open later; I'd love to satisfy my hu tieu cravings in the evening too! And it would be amazing if they offered DoorDash or online ordering--it'd make enjoying my favorite noodles even easier.
This little place has solid chow fun. I got it with beef. It's really tasty once you add the chili sauce and soy sauce they provide. Without those it's a bit bland. The texture of the noodles is perfect - toothsome, nice chew. I ordered with extra bean sprouts and so glad I did because there still weren't many. It needs that crunch in my opinion. Parking is quite limited but I was way early for any lunch rush so got a space right away.
Such a travel in time visiting Kim Ky Noodle House - I feel like we went back to the 90s, 80s even...to experience some old school noodle soups. My date and I came here and it really did not disappoint. I got to try their Choice Chow Hor Fun soup and the kidney pieces were delicious. My date loved his Wonton Soup with special egg noodles and also enjoyed the Fried Doughnuts (yow ja gwai). So simply put, good food, old cafe vibes, good-priced, good staff here also. Parking was easy, so come by if you wanna try their noodle soup. I definitely want to come back!
Traditional Chiu Chou noodle place, You can custom your noodles types and with soup inside or on the side. Very flavorful and many options, but if you had to pick go with their noodles. If you're feeling adventurous, add a plate of their pan fried cake, For those sensitive to MSG you may want to skip. This place does get crowded and there can be a wait. Although there's free parking, don't park int he 15 minute loading zone (or the 5 minute loading zone) as the guards there will mark your tires and you may find a ticket on your windshield when you get back.
