kim khanh - Forest Lake

Feeling extremely hungry after 1 pm, I head to one of the six nearby Vietnamese restaurants. When I arrive, I request a Big Pho Dac Biet with extra Meat/Offal from the waitress. After only 5 minutes, my piping hot Combination Pho is delivered to my table. The beef broth is flavorful and perfectly balanced. I notice a generous portion of rice noodles, along with a plentiful amount of Beef Brisket, Raw Sliced Beef, Beef Tendon, and Beef Balls. It turns out to be a very satisfying meal!

We had been wanting to travel out from the city to Darra for a Vietnamese fix for quite some time, and settled on Kim Khanh after reading positive reviews from loyal regulars on Zomato.<br/ <br/ We had two absolutely delicious and fresh rice vermicelli bowls (one tofu, one beef), as well as some of the best salt and pepper tofu we've eaten as an entree.<br/ <br/ Friendly service from a lovely young guy, and we wouldn't have waited more than 10 minutes for all of our (freshly prepared) food to arrive.<br/ <br/ This is NOT a trendy inner city hipster dive with inflated prices, but IS a foodie paradise hidden away in Darra with a family-friendly vibe, and a slightly kitschy and dated decor that only added to the ambience.<br/ <br/ Great value at $35 for two.<br/ <br/ We'll be back very soon despite the half hour drive each way!

You must try the pho at this restaurant! We have never had a bad meal here and always make the extra effort to dine at this place. The staff is always welcoming and we always enjoy delicious food at a reasonable price every time we visit.

Have only had take away and the food has been fantastic. Hot and fresh when ever we have picked it up. Meals are generous and very tasty. Best I've had in a while.

This restaurant is one of my go-to places for takeout because it's conveniently located just 10 minutes away from my house. The staff are always accommodating, even if I order a dish that's not on the menu. The Salt and Pepper Pork Spare Ribs are delightful and the Szechuan chicken is also delicious. I recommend trying this place if you're looking for a nice spot to enjoy a meal with friends when you're hungry.
