Kim Son: Great Vietnamese Cuisine Outside of Saigon

Some of America’s most delicious success stories come from Vietnam.

The story behind Houston-based Kim Son restaurants is epic enough to fit an Oscar winning picture. Mama La, the owner of Kim Son restaurants, left Vietnam in 1980 for Houston with her husband and kids. Blessed with a near-perfect memory and a talent for deliciousness, she committed 250 recipes to memory and opened her first Kim Son restaurant. Since that moment, Kim Son has been voted the “Best Vietnamese Restaurant” year after year by Houston foodies.

Kim Son has evolved from one of Houston’s best restaurants to America’s premiere Vietnamese restaurant group. The chain now encompasses three banquet facilities, four full-service restaurants, and four food-court outlets.

The products, despite their high-end and exquisite nature, are incredibly convenient to obtain. You can submit booking requests for banquets over the phone, in-person, or via email. Their ballrooms are taken right out of fairy tales. They range in spaciousness and decor – with the Bellaire Ballroom boasting a a room capacity of 800.

What makes the service even more special is that it is one of the only companies to offer five-star ambiance while serving Vietnamese cuisine. Even better, you can choose between buffet style, hors d’oeuvre, or a sit-down family style dinner.

Mama La’s restaurants have stayed true to their roots of excellence. For noodle lovers, Nam is the offering of choice. The joint provides quick and healthy authentic Vietnamese food, Asian noodles and more in a contemporary, green-conscious environment.
Then there are the flagship Kim Son restaurants, hailing from Jefferson, Bellaire and Sugar Land, which serve tantalizing assortments of Vietnamese and Chinese cuisines.

Get lost in steamy pork buns, or indulge in Beef Satay that has been marinated and grilled to perfection.

In addition to doing good food, Kim Son also does good for its
community.  They host an annual Straight A campaign where
straight A students get a free meal and a chance to win
educational prizes.

With the amazing success of their Houston operations and in response to customer demands, Kim Son has now launched a line of Vietnamese food ranging from pho broths to egg rolls to Vietnamese meatballs.  Under the Mama La’s Kitchen brand, these yummy goods will hit Amazon and an Asian grocery store near you.  Stay tuned!
