Kim Son Cafe (Eldrige and Briar Forrest)



The anticipation of the Grand Opening of Kim Son Cafe left me without disappointment. The Kim Son family are no strangers to the Texas Mantra of "Everything is bigger in Texas" With restaurants located in Sugarland,Downtown, and the most VISIBLE being on Bellaire BLVD. Their franchise have prided themselves on the delivery of quality, family oriented restaurants catering dishes that could make you melt like an ice cream cone sitting outside in 100 degree Texas weather. Introducing the newest addition to their chain of restaurants, The Cafe located on Eldridge just before you get to Briar Forrest if you were heading North towards Briar Forrest. The atmosphere was cozy, and tad bit romantic, just how a cafe should be. The service courtesy of "Ben" made our dining experience a pleasant one. I never had to ask for my water to be refilled, if there were crumbs on my table, he made sure they were immediately wiped off, and I never had to wonder where my waiter was. We felt like a real VIP here. Their menu however is not a full restaurant menu as it is meant to cater to the many firms around this area for lunch. Quick, simple, and delicious fixes for the hungry. Their wine and spirits menu however left me impressed, they offered a wide array of beverages. Everything from Chardonay,Champagne to a simple Heineken (The Vietnamese drink of Choice lol)

The first up were the appetizers which included a nice selection of greens with a small bowl of miso soup.

This was the best dish by far of all the selections, the grilled chicken was grilled to perfections while the garnishments left our month feeling fresh and tingling.

Quick and easy, I personally felt I could've made this better at home however, while at work, this plate serves justice.

Perhaps one of my favorite noodle dishes, Singapore Noodles accompanied by shrimp,vegetables and bbq pork.

Pad Thai for those who are not sure is a Thai dish cooked with Rice Noodles,Chicken/beef/Pork meat of choice tossed with a special Thai sauce which involves peanut butter. Sorry America/International world, I haven't quite accumulated enough talent to make the Thai Peanut sauce yet. If you are allergic to peanuts, I high recommend you stay far away from this dish.

Foodies, I live to eat, I eat to taste every single flavor until my taste buds climax, until I am delighted and my stomach is full. Just to wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. However, don't be fooled, I didn't eat all of this by myself, you were probably wondering, we had a few people with us thank god, or else I'd have alot of take out. Until next time America/International World, thank you for stopping by, live learn love LETS GET IT!!!!

    I am very impressed that this Viet-owned resto pulled off convincing versions of "international world" dishes! The Viets in Houston are talented ;-)

    Can you zoom in on the menu shot please? It's hard for me to choose my order when I'm squinting at my screen ;)

    But for now, I'll take one of each item please!
