The Houston Critics Review:

If you want really great Chinese/Vietnamese food, Kim Son is for
you. One of the great immigrant rags-to-riches stories in Houston,
the owners of Kim Son have gone from one small restaurant to three
locations and plans for several more. They bacame so popular with
the lunch crowd downtown that they had to expand to the suburbs as
well. This is no small feat given all of the Chinese and Vietnamese
restaurants in the Greater Houston Area.

Pretty much everything is good at Kim Son, and the portions are
generous. Kim Son offers an affordable lunch menu and an
expanded dinner menu. Trey has not tried a dish that he does not
like. All of the chicken dishes are made with tender chicken breasts,
a nice change from some of the mystery meat you get at other
Chinese restaurants. The Kung Pao Chicken is a spicy blend of
chicken, peanuts and vegetables. If you catch the dish on a spicy
day, you might be in tears. The Beef and Broccoli is excellent as
well.

For the health nuts, Kim Son has a variety of heart and healthy
dishes. They are famous for their Spring Rolls, which are like their
egg rolls but not fried. The regular egg rolls are fantastic, and the
soups are very good.
