    Tasty Spring Rolls for lunch, served w peanut sauce. Yummy!
    Star M.

    I'm SO HAPPY I found this place! I knew the food was gonna hit before I went in :) They did not disappoint. When I first drove by and saw this restaurant, I recognized the authenticity right away! Located in a nondescript strip of businesses across the street from Walmart on Hwy 153, KIMS KITCHEN stood out, and it's lunchtime! The ambiance is a really nice mix of traditional & modern mom & pop business. Super clean. And welcoming. As my first time here, I don't know if you traditionally order at the counter for take out only, as there is a walk up/order counter, or you sit at the tables (?) but I just walked up and ordered there & sat myself. There is a nice clean interior area w tables all around, to enjoy in house dining. I didn't have a chance to look at the menu but I already knew what I heals my heart set on upon arrival so no matter.x I'll delve further next time. Delicious & Fresh vegi spring rolls w tofu. (They have shrimp usually) but I appreciate you for those! So yummy! I also had some rice & a Thai tea. Perfect. I'll be back for sure! Thanks!

    Beef Pho

    I highly recommend this place with great food and friendly staff. The Pho and ambiance are the best in Chattanooga, and great prices. Kim is the best!!!!

    Pho Tripe

    It was very tasty noodles and broth but the "tripe" I got was not tripe. Looked like steak fat or something and was pretty gross.

    Absolutely incredible. Impeccable flavors and such a good bargain. Meal was only $12 I felt like I was stealing from them. Definitely worth going.

    Beef Pho with accoutrements.

    I was excited to see another Pho restaurant in Hixson and pulled in for an early dinner. You make your order at the counter and find a seat. The young man at the register was friendly and the gentleman who brought my Pho to the table was very warm and kind. The restaurant sells Pho, Bah Mi's, and boba - simple and straightforward. I did not see chicken pho on the menu (could have overlooked it) so went with the beef pho. The accoutrements included, Thai herbs, sprouts, jalapeno, and lime. The pho was hot and the beef was plentiful, however, the broth lacked a depth of flavor. My love of Pho is the broth. Therefore, while not my favorite Pho in town, it is a solid Pho. The added bonus is they were open in accordance with their published hours, unlike the other Pho restaurant that close periodically out of the blue. It happens often, so it's good to have a backup in town when the craving is too much!

    Spring rolls

    I have been dying to try Kim's Kitchen! I finally got take out there yesterday. I ordered the spring rolls and beef pho. Both were flavorful and blew my expectations of out the water. Service was quick and seamless. I will be back and would love to dine in to enjoy their calming ambiance!

    5/10 experience. Appetizers and tea was good.Pho was a rip off. Only had 6 slivers of meat. Not a lot of noddles. And we ordered the option with the most meat. I'm sorry but at 16.99 you need to give us a little more meat. It also didn't help that the young kid at the front was not professional at all. Won't be coming back.

    Stopped by from Atlanta and was pleasantly surprised by this cafe like restaurant . The staff albeit young , were very accommodating and well trained . The owner personally brings the pho out to you and is very friendly . I recommend the ube milk tea or the kumquat fruit tea . The pho is deep and rich , with quality cuts of meat . Definitely would recommend a try at this gem of a place .

    Beef noodle Pho with eye round steak

    Round two didn't disappoint! This time tried the BÚN BOWL! What a fresh meal that was not like heavy fast food. Very reasonably priced and portions sizes were good. I left craving to eat it again soon!

    This was on my list to try while visiting Chattanooga. I love trying vegetarian places that aren't…read moreall about fake meat. I just got a burrito to go and lucked out with parking in front. It was pretty quiet (early on a Friday evening). I only saw one employee while I was there and she was very nice. She brought me a glass of water while I waited. The burrito was DELICIOUS. I added tofu to it, which probably wasn't necessary, but I love tofu. I guess I was a little disappointed they didn't really do anything to it. I should not have eaten the whole thing, but I couldn't stop. The chips and salsa were also really good. The chips were very crispy and the salsa was fresh. The prices are really reasonable too! I would go back if I visited again (and I don't think I'd say that about anywhere else I ate).

    Parking: Street parking is conveniently located right out…read morefront and usually easy to find. If those spots are taken, there's additional parking behind the building. Just be prepared for a short walk up the back stairs or around the side to reach the entrance. Seating & Restroom: There's both indoor and outdoor seating. The restroom is gender inclusive and wheelchair accessible. Service: Over the past 10 years and many visits, including celebrating multiple birthdays here, service has sometimes felt a bit inattentive or stretched thin. That said, on my most recent solo Sunday brunch visit, the bartender/server was genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive, which made a noticeable difference in the overall experience. It was refreshing and their kind and caring energy was so appreciated. Prices: Prices are very reasonable for the generous portion sizes. Menu & Food: The menu covers a wide range of offerings, which is ambitious and gives plenty of options. I've returned several times to try something new, hoping to discover a standout dish. I haven't quite found anything to write home about yet as most dishes land in the "just okay" category for me. They're filling, but not especially bold, flavorful, or memorable. As someone who really enjoys vibrant spices and layered flavor, I keep hoping the next dish I try will shine, but everything I've had thus far tends to be a bit on the uninspired side. The pancakes have been the most reliable item over the years. They aren't over-the-top, but they're consistently good and comforting. The kids' stack is especially generous and more than enough for most adults. The only French toast option is peanut French toast; a classic version would be a nice addition for those with peanut allergies or folks just looking for regular French toast. On my latest visit, I ordered the migas, which come as four mini tacos with a small side salad. It was decent, though nothing particularly memorable. I ordered a side of hashed potatoes, which were a bit dry. I also ordered a side of the cheese grits, which were unfortunately the low point for me. They were thin and more brothy than creamy. It was a bit like eating nutritional yeast slop. As a Southerner who absolutely loves grits, I'm honestly hoping there may have been a mix-up that day. I'd hate for anyone unfamiliar with Southern cooking, or vegan grits, to think that's the standard, because they can be incredibly rich and satisfying when done well (Sevananda in ATL, for example, has amazing vegan cheese grits), but these were very disappointing. With a little more creativity in the kitchen and perhaps some bolder seasoning or new sauces, the menu could really shine. I truly hope Sluggo's continues to thrive and considers adding more explicitly organic menu options. Just a bit more flavor and flair could really make it a standout.
