KIM SƠN cái tên nghe qua làm tui nhớ tới Hoa Lư, Ninh Bình - nơi thuở xưa vua Đinh dựng nước, nơi có nhà thờ Đá Phát Diệm tuyệt đẹp mà vợ chồng tui đã đến thăm. Rồi khi bước chân vào Kim Son Restaurant tọa lạc tại 10603 Bellaire Blvd, Houston TX - đại lộ Sài Gòn, tui nghe tên thôi đã cảm thấy thân thương, không gian nhà hàng giữa nước Mỹ và trên tường treo tranh ảnh là NÉT VIỆT: con sông, buông lưới, chèo đò, cô áo dài gánh hàng ra chợ sớm mai… Món ăn ở đây rất hợp khẩu vị với vợ chồng tui, bánh xèo, bánh bèo, nậm lọc, bánh khọt… chân gà chua ngọt, tôm cua rang me, xôi chiên, thịt bò, heo, gà vịt, bún bò, sushi, chè đủ món… nhân viên phục vụ dễ thương và nhanh nhẹn. Ngồi ăn mà tui thấy quá nên thơ nhưng không biết làm thơ, thôi thì ghép chữ có chút vần: Tranh quê ai gắn lên tường Cho ai thương nhớ giọt bùi phù sa Bao năm vất vả đường xa Trong tim luôn nhớ quê hương mãi là… Mần mấy câu chữ xong đọc qua cũng gần giống thơ chứ không phải ba lơn, chưa kịp ngừng lại thì vợ mang tới món ngon mà tui mê, vì lúc ở Sài Gòn tui mần culi cho Nhật Bản nên ăn Hoài, đó là sushi… và tui lại ghép chữ tiếp 2 câu: Nâng niu hạt Ngọc đất trời Bao đời gieo gặt được mùa bội thu. Tui tìm hiểu thì chủ Kim Son Restaurant chia sẻ: “Mama La” is the secret ingredient behind each of our KIM SON Restaurants. Born in Vietnam, Kim Su Tran La, her husband and their seven children, arrived in Houston in 1980 after fleeing from Communist regime in their homeland. Armed with her extensive knowledge of Vietnamese cooking, which was passed down to her from her mother-in-law, Mama La managed to memorize over 250 recipes before opening the first KIM SON Restaurant. Her food quickly gained the following of thousands of fans along with the admiration and loyalty of many of Vietnam’s top restaurant cities. The original KIM SON was located in Vinh Long before it was eventually closed due to the communist takeover in Vietnam. Houston, Texas Đinh Thanh Hải

Great video!!! I need to go to a Viet buffet asap! You’re killing it. Would love another Costco haul video too! 🥰

Cool!

That mashed potato thing is more than likely mung bean. It’s usually mashed up. The item is called bahn beo.

i wish they had this in Northern Virginia. looks amazing.

Wow dude you keep ruining my diet, lol, will have to try tho, gracias...

😋😋😋👌👌👌

just noticed, … i like that they serve it so you dont have to touch all the germy serving spoons. good idea.

Noiiice

That mashed potatoes I think may be daikon:)

do you know why they have to serve you the food? is it coz of covid?

Where in Texas?

How expensive is this?

I didnt see you eat any veggies, lol, the first batch you got is no good for me, i like the 2 batch that you got.

I don't think I would enjoy a buffet when you have to ask for everything but dessert. Just leave it out and let me select the portion I desire.

Looks like it was update. I am so hungry watching this. You seem to be a Vietnamese food noob. Go for the stuff that is hard to make. 8:20 shrimp is the tiny ground up orange things. There is not enough shrimp. "white" paste is really yellow and it is mung bean. 18:05 The 2 meats there are supposed to be eaten with lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber, noodles and fish sauce. it needs to be put into one plate so you know. 20:40 soup is ok, but not enough flavor or meat. Mac and cheese is fool's gold at a buffet. Banh mi also not to be eaten at buffet. Both can be had better somewhere else and cheaper too.

Are you Vietnamese

Why u speak too fast ??

From someone who has watched 1000s of hours of Street Food videos.... You talk too much and you do little research on the food you are reviewing.

Dang man why so rude to the staff serving you? I don’t think you even said please once when asking for them to serve you food.😔
