Kim Sơn - Houston

I drove from Katy thinking it was going to be really good.We were very disappointed.We should’ve just went to Asian town in Katy a lot better options.

Our trip to Kim Son was highly anticipated hearing so much about it as the best Vietnamese buffet outside of Vietnam. We came on a weekend exactly at 11 AM and it was already crowded. The place is huge and they a very large variety of dishes you can try: noodle soup station, a street food station, fried food station, steamed food station dim sum, a sushi station and a dessert station. Queues got long when we were leaving at the busier lunch time (12:30) but the service was quick it's not self serve; each station has multiple staff. It was a very good representation of the wide array of different food offerings available from Vietnamese culture. Each dish was good but none were great. For the price, the value isn't quite there as there wasn't much seafood options. Overall, great experience for someone who wants to get a deep taste of Vietnamese cuisine!

Let me start by saying that I am a firm believer in tipping for services I receive and I am usually very generous. This place is a self service buffet that charges thirty some dollars per person for lunch and the owners have the audacity to charge 18% gratuity in addition to the price because we were a party of 7. I would understand if it was a full service restaurant but 18% for someone to take your plates away feels excessive. It was a total disappointment. Will not be going back ever again!

Disappointing. Food lacked seasoning variety. Lots of staff but we hardly were checked on. Not worth all the hype for the price

The video and advertisement on IG got me to come. Friday lunch was not that great. Very clean, nice staff, food was fresh. But it was just average.
