Pretty decent place if you're looking for some chiu chow food/ Vietnamese food. They are pretty quick with the service and getting the food out on time. They are constantly busy so the seating goes by quick. The food is pretty good for the price and amount you get. I always end up barely finishing it or having to togo it home. The parking lot is a bit small but with the high turnover rate it really isn't an issue. Definitely recommended if you're craving this type of food. read more

Kim Ky Noodle House has a great selection of Teochew dishes. Remember to bring cash. Hu Tieu Trieu Chau Thap Cam: This is the house special bowl of noodle soup and assorted meats. You can mix and match it with both egg noodles and rice noodles of varying thickness. I prefer thin rice noodles because they don't splash when you slurp. You can even order it dry, and the soup will be provided in a separate bowl. The broth is clear and seasoned from all the meat. There are slices of pork and chicken, shrimp, kidney, and fish balls. When you're done, just head over to the cashier to pay. read more

Kim Ky Noodle House - House Special Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

This is my first time dining in at the new location. Parking is available in the back. It's more of a side parking spaces though. I can't say the servers are the nicest people. They're just short with you and leave. There is a bit of a language barrier too. I asked for thin noodles, but received thick noodles. I ordered 1 prune juice, but got 2 instead. Food was delicious. The restaurant is packed during lunch on the weekend. On Yelp it said cash only but I saw a customer who paid with a debit/credit card. So perhaps they take card payment? Not sure. read more

Cash only. There's plenty of parking in the plaza lot but it can be busy. I got the seafood noodle soup which hit the spot. I tried the beef stew noodle soup which was good and had plenty of beef and tendon in it. Service is fast. read more

Kim Ky Noodle House - Seafood noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

We ordered the #1 Assorted meat & shrimp rice noodle soup, and the portion size was huge with plenty of meat and noodles. The base soup broth was just okay and nothing too special on its own. However, adding the sate that came with it completely changed and made the soup much more flavorful. Overall, a very solid experience and good value. I will definitely come back to give another dish a try next time. read more

Came here yesterday for lunch with a buddy. This is the OG Kim Ky and still the best of all the Trieu Chau noodle spots. The broth actually has flavor and doesn't need extra condiments like you'd find at other places. We ordered the Hu Tieu Trieu Chau Thap Cam with flat rice noodle and thin egg noodle. I got mine dry with the broth on the side. We also had a Chinese donut (dau cha quay), which was perfect for dipping. Drinks come with complimentary iced tea. The food is hands down 5 stars. The satay and pickled chili here take the noodles to the next level. But the ambiance can get pretty loud, the decor is bare bones, and the service is your standard mom and pop style. Parking can also be a bit of a headache since the plaza is so busy. Overall, I'd rate this 4 stars. The food is amazing and keeps me coming back, but the atmosphere and service bring it down a notch. Still, this is the noodle spot I recommend to friends and family whenever cravings hit. read more

I LOVE this place! As someone who's Vietnamese, this just hits my soul. Perfect flavor on the dry noodles and you can mix it with the soup on the side which is so flavorful also. I always crave this place and have to stop by when I visit. Service is friendly though a bit hectic because it is always so busy there. If you like yellow noodle soups or hu tieu, I'd definitely come here to try their dry version. So so good and a variety of different versions that vary in what toppings you get. read more

Restaurants like these are why 626 is known to have the best Chinese food!! I am teo chew so this restaurant just hits home and is so consistent and reliable. Recommend the rice cake with egg and a nice bowl of flat rice noodles with sole filet and fish balls. The satay beef noodles is really good too. The portions here are super generous so you'll definitely leave feeling very satisfied read more

Kim Ky Noodle House - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

This place is located on garvey inside a shopping plaza called Vikon Center. Plenty of parking in there and there is street parking as well. Kim Ky is different from kim kee and it's 2 separate restaurants so don't get them mixed up. Both are really similar and both have their signature fish fried fish cakes. They have 3 different locations: one in San Gabriel on San Gabriel Blvd, one in Rosemead on Garvey Ave and one in Westminster. Make sure you bring CASH because it's cash only! Food is decent! Service is great! Servers are friendly and helpful! Make sure you order their fried fish cakes because it's one of their signature dish. For the food alone, i would give it a 4 star. Interior is old and not as clean so I would give it a 3.5 but I gave them a 5 because i didn't bring cash and they helped me out. Yes, they can always find ways but its also something they set as rules and they were still friendly and helped me out when I didnt bring cash. read more

Can never go wrong with a warm bowl of Hu Tieu or any noodle and protein bowl here at Kim Ky! Flavors and dishes are pretty identical to Kim Ky Monterey Park which is the staple go to spot for Hu Tieu in SGV! Came here on a Saturday for lunch and place was brimming with customers. We were able to grab a table pretty quickly. Went with the Fukian Noodls with egg noodle. I love the cracker shrimp bit that gets included in the bowl of hot, simmering, flavorful broth. If you've never tried Kim Ky, definitely give it a go for local cuisine that still brings that family touch! read more

Kim Ky is staple. Very delicious and very fast. I went here recently and tried something new. I usually get the fish and chicken. The sauce is amazing! I love the soup broth. Cash only, so bring cash! read more

Kim Ky Noodle House - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

A classic, especially for Teo Chow people! Kim Ky is a 626 staple and when they started opening other locations in the area, it was only a sign of how good their food is! I've been getting the same dish since I was a kid,, and the Mei Wong never gets old! Been coming here for years and will continue to do so; finally have nieces and nephews to introduce them to this generational staple! read more

Menu selections of soups are numerous and the type of noodle (rice, egg, vermicelli or wide) makes it a good place to eat. The restaurant opens at 8 AM so you can start the day with a hot bowl of broth with a protein of your liking. Service is prompt, either in English or Vietnamese. Just remember that payment is cash only. read more

Kim Ky Noodle House - Wonton noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

Came here on a Sunday morning, since my friend and I were craving for some bay area style "TK Noodle" My friend had told me this place serves a noodle soup that tastes very much like the ones we have in San Jose.... so had to try. This place was busy in the morning and we had to take a number. We waited for about 20 minutes. The restaurant was clean, and despite located in an old plaza, it was good to see that they kept their level of cleanliness. I ordered their Vermicelli Noodle soup and their Daikon with egg dish. The noodle soup tasted excellent. It was just like the ones I used to have in San Jose. Of course, I selected the flat noodle. The Daikon dish was just OK, would probably skip it next time. Will definitely be coming here again. read more

Date of visit: 11/14/2024 Not my first visit here, and again, I couldn't believe myself for failing to write a review until now! So anyways, there are several locations of Kim Ky noodle. I'm not sure if they are all owned by the same person or if they are all separately owned and operated. Out of all Kim Kys, I feel this location is the most consistent one in terms of the flavor of their noodle. Whenever I go to Teow Chew noodle place, I always order the same thing: the assorted meat noodle (dry) with soup on the side. In other places, sometimes I'd get bland noodle and/or not freshly-tasted meat (the pork and/or the shrimp) but never at this location. This restaurant has consistently delivered, which I really favor for. My rice noodle is always cooked to perfection (my perfection when it comes to rice noodles is soft) and it's always flavorful. I never need to add any soy sauce and or fish sauce into my bowl. Just straight dig in! The only thing that I feel is lacking at this place is the richness of the side broth that comes with the noodle. I've had a much better and rich broth elsewhere, and therefore I can't give it 5 stars in my review. Sorry but my standard can be pretty high when it comes to noodle lol. Anyways, I would still highly recommend this place if you'd like to have a delicious teow chew style dry noodle. Tip: - always order the fried Chinese donut and dip it in the soup right before taking a bite and eat it with your noodle. - always ask for more fried onion to mix with your dry noodle. These add so much flavor to your noodle YOURE WELCOME! read more

Cant go wrong with Kim Ky noodle house! Great comfort noodles for the right price. We had a party of two and got seated right away as there were a few tables open. Did not stay open for long as they immediately had a line waiting. I love how you can choose which type of noodles you'd like. I always go with the flat rice noodles. The parking lot can get pretty packed, but its nice that there's many spaces. read more

This place will always be busy, but you will get seated in less than 20 minute of a wait as their service is quick. The moment from when you order your food, beverages are being passed on a tray with a choice of water, hot tea, or iced tea at no cost. I ordered the dry assorted meat and shrimp with thick rice noodles, which comes with soup on the side. It came out almost instantly. My mom ordered fried rice cake, which took a little longer, and fried Chinese donut. The food quality is always the same and delicious. Never need to add extra sauce. Chinese donut is always crispy. It genuinely is the best comfort food. read more

Foods are super delicious and affordable. Staff are friendly and helpful too. Highly recommended for sino-Vietnamese cuisine if you happened to be in that area. read more

My parents love their noodle soups and the pan fried rice cake with egg. They package their togo orders really well and make sure there is vinegar, chili, soy sauce, utensils. Of course check bc there was one time they missed bean sprouts, but they work really fast and orders ready to get picked up. read more

We came here after reading reviews on Facebook, but the praise felt a bit overhyped. The space inside is small, so you have to share tables with others. The soup noodles mainly tasted like fried shallot oil and weren't particularly impressive. There are many types of noodles to choose from, but they are all quite similar. The prices are in line with today's inflation, so there's no sense of getting great value for the money. There are many staff members inside, and the owner is friendly, but the food wasn't good enough to leave a lasting impression. read more

We used to come here often before the pandemic, and finally made it back for a visit. We ordered our usual -- the #1 Assorted Meat & Shrimp with Rice Noodle. This time, I switched it up and tried the rice pin noodles instead of the flat rice noodles -- but I regretted it. The flat noodles are definitely the better choice! The soup was just as good as I remembered: light, savory, and with that comforting touch of sweetness from the broth. I could honestly drink it forever. There's a generous portion of assorted meats, including a piece of kidney and two pieces of shrimp. This place is always busy, so be sure to come early and grab a ticket! read more

Cash only! You'll smell people smoking outside sometimes especially when they open the door for to-go order. You'll have an option of water or hot tea Al's other than the drinks menu that they offer. Wonton soup: pretty good. Chicken noodle soup with egg noodle but you can customize it to other noodles for all the soup noodles. There's about 5-6 options. Egg noodle -rice noodle and different widths You can request for the soups to be on the side. Hubs request soups on the side because you can taste the flavor of the soup better compared to mixing the soup into the noodle. They have the chili mix paste that you can put into the soup - similar to the one at Mien Nghia. This one tasted spicier if memory serves me right. As any other Asians place: cleanliness is okay.. bathroom situation: one exist yay! There's no diaper station for babies. They do have high chair tho so that's a plus And you can ask them for plastic spoon and fork. The servers is also pretty good at getting us stuff at a timely manner. read more

Tried this place from a recommendation and the food is wonderful! Got three dishes to share: assorted meat and shrimp with rice noodle soup, Seafood Chow Fun (noodles with sauce), and French Style Fried chicken with Fried Rice and all were wonderful. They were flavorful yet light. The only thing would be the bowls, there were some stuff leftover so I used a napkin to wipe them before using. But the place has an A for health inspection so all good! It does get crowded but we got a table very fast, within minutes. They do have a lot of food to go orders so that is also another option. Cash only though!!! (No pics) read more

再好的東西， 若是讓你悲觀，或壓著你到踹不過氣， 對你而言，不過都是一些垃圾，放下他們， 你的人生才能真正開始～ 這家金記， 我想在 San Gabriel 應該也是非常有名的店家，說實話， 非常便宜， 每碗麵都11， 11.50元湯頭飄著淡淡的大骨湯清香， 粿條也Q ,一端上來， 讓我有感覺像在台灣夜市， 不起眼的小攤， 卻能上一碗甘甜香濃的清湯的感覺， 炒粿也是鍋氣十足， 師傅真的是有兩把刷子的， 難怪生意會那麼好， 比較可惜的是， 他們的豬腰賣完了， 不然應該也會是另一道好味道，東西好吃，價格便宜是沒話說的，可是可能太忙， 小姐的服務態度可以更好一些！ read more

I love coming here when I'm in town for my Asian fix. I usually get their half rice noodle and egg noodle soup accompanied with chives rice cakes so delicious. I like San Gabriel location but it's always so busy there. We come here instead which most of the time we get seated right away. Sometimes I just want a plain noodle soup and not pho, bun Bo hue or bun rieu and it's so yummy. Customer service is always great and friendly. Love coming here will be back again! read more

Got a #1 Mi Thap Cam w/ small egg noodles. It came with pickled peppers and a satay that my whole family loves. I think the extras really elevate the dish and makes it 10x better so definitely get yourself some of that. They provide soup on the side and you can pour as you please if you get it to-go, which is what I like to do. Just remember this place is cash only! I'm unsure of the service or ambiance since I have only gotten to-go. I also wished the white fish ball was better quality b/c it didnt have much taste, but everything else in the bowl was delish. read more

Kim Ky Noodle House - #1 - Chinese Near Me - Rosemead, California

A childhood favorite and classic whenever I visit the San Gabriel Valley area. It is cash only but there are so many options on the menu. If you want to venture out, I recommend the turnip cake. The noodles come with an option of either with soup or dry meaning noodles and sauce. During lunchtime, there's always a line to wait. However if you come for breakfast when they open at 8, there isn't a line. The food comes out quick. It is a hole in the wall restaurant so don't expect some five star restaurant ambience. read more

Have been a long time customer here for over 15 years, as well as my family from the 626. Never had issues until recently. Had asked for takeout boxes to pack our dine-in meals, and requested a condiment container. Waitress brings a very small pre-filled container of chili (2 pieces of chili), and a small empty bag. When we went to add a few more pieces of chili to the bag, she states the store policy and that they will charge for it, didn't offer a second container. Server had a very snappy and rude demeanor during whole process. We didn't know there policy, as we had been long time customers here. We respected the wishes and rules, left it as is. No harm no foul. However she continued to speak behind our backs in Chinese as if we didn't understand. She minced in some rude and disrespectful things as if we lifted a whole case of chili... then another worker joins in, and doubles down. I get it, mom and pop, asian style resturant culture is unique, but damn... A little situational awareness and basic customer service skills would've went a long way, especially if the food ain't anything to write home about and you stingy with you're condiments. Food here is average, they only take cash. The egg noodle seafood soup or wonton soup is what I usually get at these type of noodle houses. The one here is average at best tbh, soup is bland/dull, the meat portions are minimal, wonton meat is overcooked, prices have gotten higher, but due to being local mom and pop, I usually pick this spot. After this experience however, I won't be coming back, nor will my family. I personally prefer Kim Kee over at MPK(better broth and service), and will gladly make that drive then come back here :) TLDR; Expect some rude customer service. Bring cash. Don't ask for extras. Maybe bring your own napkins too, because they might hound you for using too many. Expect them to talk smack about you for not tipping 40%, despite their abysmal customer service. Be ready to navigate through some old chain smoking viet dudes camping the exit and mad dogging you lol. Good luck have fun. read more

My weekly treat . My only complain is their pork kidney is not consistent; some day its really good, some day it was little red on the inside, taste and smell little raw. I think owner need to know this as it is food hardzard. read more

The food is good. Prices are good. $11 for wonton noodles. However, the workers are extremely loud when they talk!!!! They were so loud; screaming from the kitchen when there were only 4 customers in the restaurant since it was almost closing. Any how, I couldn't eat my food in peace, bc they're soooooooo loud. Their benches to sit were torn and ripped. I was annoyed with the ambiance read more

I really wanted to love this place but from the 3 dishes we tried today, I was left very disappointed. Best item was the fried rice cake - very very flavorful umami, but I wish there was more bite to the rice cake. The overall dish chew-ability was like catered to old ppl with no teeth lol. My sister told me there's suppose to be a vinegar dipping sauce included that really "makes" the dish. Seafood chow fun - I'm comparing this to my favorite place Kim Chuy in Chinatown. First, why Bean sprouts? Second, where are the eggs??? There should be fried eggs with wok hei!!! Big fail! Sauce and noods were otherwise tasty. Satay - biggest disappointment. I would not recommend. Very watered down. read more

Old school spot with efficient service. There's a reason why this place is a classic. It has some really solid Teo Chew food. They are making due with all our changes in this world with service they can try to accommodate with. But you're really here for the food. Keeping this simple, let's just talk about the bangers. Rice Cake Omelet - Chewy thiccccc rice cake blocks in an omelet that gets really nice charred flavor from the wok. Served with a sweet soy sauce. The only upgrades may be something crispy and fresh to balance it. Noodle Soup - Many variations but go for half and half on those noods with the broth on the side. This keeps your noodles from getting too soggy and your flavor add-ons surrounding your noodles. Then you can wash it away with their savory broth. Chinese Donut - This crispy Chinese Donut comes with a vegetal broth that isn't amazing on its own but gives nice flavor and moisture to the donut. Ice Coffee - If you like dark strong coffee with condensed milk, then this is for you. It tastes like someone's under-rested angry auntie made the coffee this morning. It's super strong and not for the weak. I need to try more things here but so far, so damn good. read more

I have heard from a lot of friends who live around here that Kim Ky was a staple spot growing up. I can def see why because it gives a comfortable feel. Packed on weekends, busy service and a place your parents would prob want to eat at with your visiting relatives. I like that they have that mirror wall because its reminiscent of childhood weekends at a Chinese restaurant. Their dry noodles are hands down a favorite. I like to get the wontons with thin + thick egg noodles, soup on the side. Chili sauce adds that kick! Always a good spot to get a filling meal! read more

Great Chinese food! It's a longtime establishment, mom and pop type place. The location is very small. You get a number and then wait for it to be called. On a Saturday morning, we waited maybe 20 minutes. The workers move quick! You have the choice or hot or iced tea. We got the #1 with egg noodles and a seafood chow fun after I saw another person eating it lol. The tables have sriracha, hoisin, vinegar, fish sauce, jalapeños, and chili oil as condiments. The food was so generously portioned and came out quickly. I loved my chow fun. I had wide rice noodles and they were the perfect springy texture. The #1 was with soup on the side and my boyfriend said it was tasty as well. I had to try it myself and agree but I think I prefer the chow fun. Service is like most Asian establishments. Iykyk. I don't come here for service, I come here for food haha. read more
