We went for the all you can eat crawfish, we stayed for everything else! Overwhelmed is the only word that accurately describes the feeling I had when I entered Kim Son. The place is palatial, with large dining areas and tons of people. But it's the buffet area that is truly magnificent. The set up is reminiscent of an elite food market with various vendors. The lines upon lines of various goods, such as cold items, fried items, desserts, drinks and a hot noodle bar are just among a few of the choices. The crawfish was also very tasty with large portions and wonderful flavor options. The staff were attentive and checked in on us to make sure we were all right. I personally loved the noodles and the plethora of desserts. Highly recommend going to experience this restaurant!
Been here many times and I have to say that food consistency is still on the above average side. Service is also consistent bad But overall is still a come back for us
Asian buffets usually have a negative connotation tied to them due to the severe lack of quality for mass-produced food. Kim Son has definitely changed the game here. The quality in food is definitely there, service is great, and with all that said, this one feels like an upscale buffet (not quite Las Vegas style but pretty dang close). Kim Son has always been a Houston Viet staple. I've had two graduation parties at other locations, and our family has had many a gathering at one of various Kim Son locations. While this is the only Kim Son left, I can attest to Mama La's brand of pho broth concentrate and egg rolls found in Asian markets. The buffet starts at $22.50 for adult lunch and $32 for adult dinner. They also have a senior discount for those 65+ and also honor a complimentary buffet on the day of your birthday (ID required). On weekend peak times, there can be a wait, but they give you a buzzer. The buffet selection is huge. I usually don't even have the stomach capacity to try everything on the line. From soups to Vietnamese street food, dim sum, and buffet classics, there is something for just about anyone. For the kids, they even have fried chicken and french fries! The must-do's for me are the lotus-wrapped beef (bo la lot), Vietnamese crepe (banh xeo), and the rice rolls with cured meat (banh uot cha), all in the street food section. Solid runner-ups are the prime rib, dim sum selection, and the turnip egg cake (banh bot chien). I know that this time of year they have crawfish served on Fridays. If you come for just the crawfish alone, it is a pretty good deal. $32 for AYCE crawfish? I'm in. Service is always very good here. Waters never go empty and your dirty plates are picked up in a timely manner. Kim Son buffet is a must-do while in Houston and even more so for out-of-town visitors. I've heard it's the biggest Vietnamese buffet in the US - better believe it.
Kim Son is the largest Vietnamese buffet in the US, located on Bellaire in Houston, Texas. But although everything is bigger in Texas, bigger doesn't always mean better. We got here on a Sunday around 5pm to avoid the dinner rush. I thought it was pretty early to be having dinner, but my boyfriend's mom told us that it would be very busy later. And she was right. As we were leaving around 6pm, there was a huge crowd of people standing around in the waiting area. I am told the wait can be around 45 min to an hour. Although the building is huge, the buffet itself is quite normal in size. The main dining and buffet area only takes up a fraction of the second floor. It seemed like they had other spaces down the hall for private events such as weddings. The decorations were pretty cute. Aside from the main buffet, they had a couple of carts mimicking street vendors and serving street food dishes such as fried bananas and banh hoi. There was also a section of the buffet dedicated to street food skewers like nem nuong and bo la lot. You can also get made-to-order dishes such as pho or banh xeo. One strange thing I noticed is that for the vast majority of buffet items, there are staff members handing out food. For the most part, you do not grab the food yourself. If you want something, like noodles, you would point at the noodles and the staff member would place the food on your plate. I wonder why... the most obvious answer is portion control or prevention of food waste, but I felt like most of the time, they would give me way more food than I actually wanted. I like to try a little bit of everything at a buffet, so I would grab maybe... one chicken wing... one shrimp... one eggroll... a small clump of noodles... and then come back to get more if I liked it. But they try to give you so much! I would constantly have to be like "oh, just one please!" or "oh, not that much, thank you." I really don't think it's necessary to have staff members serving the food as it makes the experience more complicated than it needs to be. I think their time could be better spent making the food taste better. The food quality across the board was mostly unimpressive except for a couple of items. There's a section of the buffet with food from mien trung (Central Vietnam) that had some pretty good choices. I liked the banh beo, banh it, etc. Unfortunately, I didn't think the banh hoi was very good and the cucumbers they were served with were very bitter. I also liked the fried bananas. Aside from that, nothing was really noteworthy. Although the food isn't very good, I think it's worth a visit just for the experience and ability to say you've been. The servers were also pretty nice. I would recommend coming early to avoid the dinner rush. But I don't think I would want to come back.
This has been on my bucket list of places for years and I had the opportunity to try it! Pretty large dining space, but options seemed less than I was expecting. Soup station: 7/10 Offered about 14 different soup options that are made fresh to order. You can ask for modifications, but you'll probably have to speak some Vietnamese to get exactly what you want. You can ask for no noodles! Pretty hot and good sizes. Sauces/condiments on the side. Grill/Street food station: 6.5/10 Biggest line because they have freshly grilled oysters and shrimps. It was fine, the sauce that was served with them was okay, very syrupy Deli station: 8.5/10 The fresh summer rolls were good and fresh! Hot food bar: 6.5/10 Fresh banh xeo, but it was very coconutty in flavor which I was not a huge fan of. I loved the amount of fresh herbs and vegetables that came with it though! There was nothing that was very memorable to me I. This station had some seafood but some of them were slimy or had too much sand. Dessert station: 8.5/10 Great dessert station, this and the soup station were my favorites. They offer a lot of Che/Viet desserts as well as some freshly squeezed sugar cane juice and Thai milk tea.
I've been here a few times, and it seems to get better with every visit. The service is consistently great, and they've expanded their menu with even more options. There's a wide variety of plates to choose from, along with selection of desserts. Everything is flavorful, and I've enjoyed every meal I've had here. I would definitely come back again.
Haven't been here in a couple months and boy did I miss me some Kim Son! It's the unlimited Nuoc Mia for me honestly. There was a wait for it when we first came in though. The girl said 5 minutes and when I came back there was a huge line and there was this lady ahead of me that asked for 6 cups.... Surprisingly today there were crabs?! I don't think I've ever came in when they had crabs on their menu but hey, let's keep it. Also they added Nem Nuong and I'm obsessed! The rice paper could be a little bit softer, but it's inevitable once the rolls are out in the air for a bit. I think I've said it before but I'll say it again, please bring back the fried shrimp balls!!! I forget what KS calls it but it's the one you usually get at Dim Sum. Management if you're reading please please please bring it back!
I thought I reviewed this place years ago. I came to update about their newest stations. Kim son has really made full upgrades over the years. They have a great selection of Vietnamese food and they have a seafood grill station. There's ayce crawfish when in seaso. That's brought to your table. They recently added another station with pandan waffles, viet pizza, mango sticky rice. Their space is also for wedding banquets. The place is huge so the waits not usually terribly long. But it does get packed. I think this is one of the best buffets in town offering a huge variety of foods. Service is not the best for drink refills but they do clean off plates fast. The food overall is decent. On weekends they offer dimsum at lunch.
Disclaimer: I may be Vietnamese, but I am Vietnamese AMERICAN. Therefore my tastebuds can skew away from my heritage. Explanation for why I had a plate of sushi and crab rangoons at a quintessential viet establishment. But the food was fine nothing crazy. Oysters were gritty and not good - just look at the picture attached. Those are grilled and "seasoned"! Selection of snails and mussels was good - got approval from my parents dessert was awesome. Went on a Saturday night and was immediately seated for a table of 4. No wait
It was really neat to go to a buffet that primarily served vietnamese food. They had a wide variety of foods such as different noodle soup, Vietnamese street food, dimsum, and some classic dishes. My favorite section was definitely the dessert cause they offered different che options and also the dimsum section. The food overall was OK and was pretty decent for buffet food! There are dedicated servers who plate your food instead of you getting it yourself which helps with cleanliness.
The best Vietnamese buffet I have ever been to. Would definitely recommend to try at least once. The service was friendly and the food was served by people behind counters. We went early so there weren't as many lines - when we left, lines were forming at every station.
Wow! Saw the bad reviews here but wanted to give it an opportunity!! And no regrets!!! Yes it's $32 but you get to eat from a variety of dishes! I tried most of them and I was satisfied with several of them!! The service is great, servers are very attentive and kind, cleanliness is on point. Ambiance is chill and it does start to pick up but worth the trip! I would have given a 5 star if the rice was savory but it lacked flavor! But the rest YUMMMM The fried crispy shrimp is delicious!!! I only wished they would add more garlic but it was still very savory!!! The chicken feet omg!! Yes omg so savory, sweet and a little kick!! First time trying snails and I was not disappointed!!! The flavor of the sauce was very good!!! A splash of lemon and chili and omg!!! A variety of desserts too and I was full to eat all of them but I did try the yogurt and was surprised to find that the flavor was sweet and creamy texture and convinced me to buy Vietnamese yogurt from now on. The casava desserts are so delicious and creamy too!!! So much to choose from so come with an empty belly!! And don't be stingy on the tip because here they actually have great customer service!!!
A must-try experience in Houston! My fiancé and I heard this was the only Vietnamese focused buffet in the states, so we had to try it out. The buffet is at the upper level of the plaza, and so many families were there for graduation season too - they had a deal going on for graduates. The wait wasn't too bad, and we had a whole table to ourselves with plenty of space - seems like they accommodate a lot of large parties too, so good for groups. Food: We came during crawfish season so they also had AYCE crawfish with sweet garlic flavor (I think it replaced the grilled oysters since we did not see that item). There were so many options! They had a noodle bar where you could pick a variety of pho or congee (my favorite part). There was a street food section, the hot foods area, a small sushi area, and a dessert/tea station. The hot foods had some traditional Asian/Chinese buffet options, but I loved trying the Vietnamese dishes. Lot of seafood, but they also served some prime rib when we went. Service: Service was great! Everyone was super nice and they are quick with clearing your table when you have empty plates. Given how busy and crowded and busy it was, the staff did a great job. Ambiance: Seems like a great spot for families to dine together - truly something for everyone! The restaurant also had a gorgeous balloon display to celebrate those graduating and many people took photos next to it. Similar to a Chinese style buffet, but with a Viet twist.
I tried the special event catering food for an event on their second floor banquet hall. Everything was so delicious! I really liked the lobster fried rice and this steamed fish dish. I also had a tiramisu slice at the end, that was not too sweet. It reminded me of Costco's tiramisu cake! read more
This place was amazing!! I definitely wish we had this back home. I had heard about this Vietnamese buffet a good bit before we visited but nothing prepared me for it in person. There were so many great food options, with street food to pho to dim sum. They also had free boba and desserts included- their chai tea was phenomenal. I really loved the variety and felt that anybody could find something to eat there. We visited on a weekday at lunch and business was booming. This is a must visit next time I am in town! My only complaint is that most of the food is salty, so if you are sensitive to that just be aware. read more

Good Vietnamese buffet. A lot of seating area and the waiters are very attentive. Don't expect American Chinese buffet and explore! You can eat from the buffet selection and eat sushi or get some pho. I love their flavored tea selection served over crushed ice as a special treat for me after I eat. I will say lunch is good and cheaper but the better selection is the dinner buffet. Spent around $73 for two before tip. read more

If you want to explore Vietnamese cuisine, Kim Son's is the perfect place to go! This Vietnamese buffet restaurant on Bellaire Blvd is important for its wide-ranging menu and interesting serving approach. We arrived at lunchtime; the restaurant was busy but not overly crowded. The buffet features a wide variety of dishes, including some not typically found on Vietnamese restaurant menus. It offers a fantastic way to experience many diverse flavors and a variety of textures in a single meal. I truly appreciate their serving system; instead of self-serve, staff plate all the food. This rigorously guarantees sanitary conditions and effectively prevents multiple people from handling the serving utensils. I wholeheartedly commend them for this exceptionally clever approach. it's a smart way to keep things clean while still offering the large convenience of a buffet. Kim Som restaurant provides a superb introduction to Vietnamese food, featuring dishes that go beyond the typical fare. It's worthwhile to visit; you'll have a rewarding experience. read more

Kim Son Traditional Vietnamese and Chinese Cruisine. The variety of traditional and modern dishes are very well done. From several Noodle Soup, Wok dishes, Dumplings, Sticky Rice, Crepes, Stir Fry, Noodle Entrees, Seafood, several rice dishes, oysters, there is something for everyone. One of the better Asian Buffets that I have been to with high quality of items and entrees. Remember, it is a marathon, not a sprint, so enjoy the experience Kim Son offers you. Enjoy read more

We haven't visit Kim Son for lunch in a while so we decided to give it a try. We were very surprised Kim Son is now offering dim sum items during lunch time. The dim sum includes: steam pork ribs, shrimp hacow, sui mai, chicken feet, steam buns, and more. Party of 4 on a Monday at 12:30pm. Kim son was packed 90% but we were lucky to be seated with no wait. Lunch prices 22.50 adult and 21.50 Senior. This is what we ate: * bun Bo hue:2/5 there was pork blood, tendon meat, and beef slices. No pork feet. Flavor was ok. Ok BBH. I added shrimp paste and veggies. Lacking lemongrass flavor and flavor was ok but not the best BbH I had. * sesame ball: 5/5 my family member liked it. I didn't personally tried it. * grilled shrimp: 5/5 Smokey and perfectly cooked * Vietnamese eggroll: 3/5: the eggroll could be rolled tighter. I didn't see any shrimp in it. Just pork and noodles and ear mushrooms. * chicken curry: 4/5: flavor is authentic and good. Love there was taro in it. French baguette was crispy and good with curry. Chicken was dry and over cooked. I had a piece that wasn't and that was good. * crispy chicken and crispy sticky sweet rice: 4/5. Chicken is juicy and crispy. Rice was crispy too. Wish the fish sauce was more flavorful to help this dish. Fish sauce was bland. It needed more lime juice fish sauce and chili pepper. * fried rice: 3/5 decent * banh cot: 1/5 super doughy and not crispy. Shrimp was flavorless. * steam pork ribs: 5/5 yummy with the exception of the fatty pieces which we didn't eat. Flavor is good for dim sum * sui mai: 5/5 love love love * shrimp hacow: 4/5 family love it but I wasn't a fan. * braise pork knuckles: 3/5 decent but I didn't like the flavor. My family enjoyed it. * chicken feet: 3/5 could use a bit more seasoning , it was decent and glad they offer it for lunch now. * grill meats and rice noodle @saigon street food: 4/5 my family loved it . * Basil grass jelly drink: 5/5 refreshing and loved it * sweet rice with black eye peas dessert: 5/5 authentic and love it. The two employees working that station that day was super cranky/rude/with attitude and did not listen to the customers. Several customers including myself would ask desserts without the cream coconut and they just ignore us and pour it on there anyways. When we tell them they just give an attitude and couldn't understand without coconut cream. Perhaps they need more training. Not everyone likes the coconut cream to be added to their dessert especially those allergic. Would I recommend Kim son? Yes! If you like Vietnamese food or have never tried Vietnamese food, this is a perfect place for you to come and enjoy many traditional dishes for one lump price. Although we enjoyed the lunch but I totally recommend the dinner because you get seafood options such as crabs/crawfish/oyster/escargo (depending on season) too! read more
For $32 per person for dinner, this is not worth it. Kim Son is a well known Vietnamese institution in the Houston area and it seems this location gets away with being known as the "only Vietnamese buffet in the US." Just because it's the only one, doesn't mean it's a good one. The majority of the food was cold. Most of the food is not self service. There are people behind the buffet line that serve the food to you on the small black plates. None of them spoke to us. The fried egg rolls are the only item that was really good to me. The fried rice, noodles, and veggies were all bland. The spring rolls were a miss. They put too much vermicelli noodle and used shredded lettuce instead of one nice crunchy piece which made it a texture fail. The sushi with the red and yellow sauce was nasty. The sauce combo just ruined the flavor. The crab rangoons were cold and one barely had any filling. The chicken wings were decent but also cold. The beef stir fry was tender. Some might find it worth it for the seafood options like clams and crab but I think it's a waste of money. Thankfully our server was nice but the overall experience and food was definitely lacking and I would not go back. Houston has plenty of great viet spots. Check out Pho Saigon, Pho Ben, Kim Tai, etc. read more

I've never seen a Vietnamese buffet before so this was pretty cool. The wait is very long so be prepaid to wait. As for the food, it was just ok. There was some things that were better than others but overall, it was alright in my opinion. Worth a try once. My visit was during crawfish season and the crawfish was good tho. I was most excited for the snails and oysters but those were bland and disappointing. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner to raise some money for the Buddhist organization to build a new temple in Tampa, Florida. There were about a thousand people attending the meeting. The vegetarian dishes were very good. Kim Son restaurant is a great place for dining, parties, meetings, and weddings. We had a great time at the meeting because there were many singers performing for entertainment. read more
Kim Son on Bellaire is a one-of-a-kind spot that actually has a lot of history behind it. If you grew up in Houston as a Vietnamese person, it's likely you've dined at a Kim Son. What started as a one-room restaurant, then a posh, two-story experience unlike any Viet restaurant at the time, eventually turned into a Houston institution branching to all corners. Which lands us in Houston's Chinatown. Kim Son Bellaire is one of very few Vietnamese ayce buffets in the US . The cuisine covers everything from street food, seafood, dim sum, and banh mi. There's even a short-order soup bar with 10 options every day, that rotates the offerings. You could have choices including: bun bo hue, pho bo, or chao. There's also a che bar for dessert. The dining area can be bustling, with people coming in droves. The wait staff are quick with bussing dishes and refilling drinks. They also serve dim sum on the weekends in a separate banquet hall. Overall, a great place to showcase the diversity that Houston offers. read more

We were visiting and heard about this buffet from social media. First time trying a Viet buffet and there were so many options and everything was delish!! We went for dinner and staff were attentive and friendly. I like that they had the staff serve you the food rather than a bunch of people all over the food and touching the serving spoon. I also like that they had fresh sugar cane, Thai tea and matcha latte. The desserts were also good with a variety to choose from. Reasonable price, clean and spacious. A must try! read more

I noticed the "Dim Sum" written on the building, so I stopped for lunch, not realizing it was an overpriced buffet. Very few dim sum options. I've travelled Vietnam and enjoyed excellent cuisine. This restaurant was simply gross. Large cafeteria type atmosphere... The congealed dishes indicated loads of monosodium glutamate and fat swimming on top. Very few options for vegetarians or healthy eaters. It's a $22+ lunch buffet, and they have the nerve to list suggested tipping amounts from 15-20 percent. read more

Not a lot of Vietnamese buffets in California. This was fun to try. Weekend dinner has lots of blue crabs. Lots of chinese food. We enjoyed noodle soups the most. Every kind of dessert che for you too eat. Also have rib roast and American foods. Ambiance is loud and casual. Kids running around. Think hometown buffet. Service is good. Take away the dirty dishes quickly. Lots of parking. We are tourists so this was a destination in our itinerary. Lol not bellagio buffet read more

This was my first time experiencing a Vietnamese buffet, and I thought it was a great experience. They had a noodle bar, a street food section, desserts, and much more. Overall, everything was pretty consistent in terms of flavor and variety. You'll find all the Vietnamese staples like pho, bánh xèo, and bún bò Huế. The veggies were fresh and clean, and the seafood seemed fresh as well. For a buffet, this place is solid and definitely worth the price. The restaurant itself is huge, and there's plenty of parking. read more
We decided to eat at this place for lunch yesterday. This restaurant can accommodate a group of 11 of us, which was greatly appreciated. There are lots of food selections- which were buffet style. This place had a lot of premade and then had some food that will be made for you when you go there to order. I had the bun Bo hue, the broth flavor was okay. I like pork blood in my bun Bo hue but did not get it so I thought they did not have it. I found out that they did when I ordered bun rieu for my boyfriend, who dislike pork blood but got it on his bun rieu. The desserts including the Che ba mau was pretty good. They had dim sum type of food too. Overall the food quality was decent for a buffet. Not the greatest Vietnamese food I had. The staff were quick at removing our empty plates away. read more

Tried this Vietnamese buffet today for lunch. Really love how clean it is and there is hand sanitizer everywhere. They also serve you and there is glass between you and the food, so no worry about ppl coughing or putting their hands in anything. Price point for lunch was about $20 per person, but there are different prices for seniors and kids. Apparently they were voted the cleanest buffet in Houston:) Best bite was the Pork Spring Roll. Enter freely, they've been approved. read more
My review is strictly based on their family style wedding menu, not the buffet nor the dimsum selections. I've had Kim Son's wedding foods for years. My relatives and I recently stopped by to do a wedding menu tasting recently, so I was able to try every dish more thoroughly. Service was good, and the restaurant wasn't too busy at the time. I didn't get the full names of all the dishes, but we had Crabmeat and Asparagus Soup, Seafood Salad (w/ Shrimp Chips), Peking Duck & Steamed Buns, Lobster, Steak & Asparagus, Seafood Birds Nest, and Imperial Fried Rice. My absolute favorites were the Steak and Asparagus, Lobster, and Fried Rice; they were definitely the stars of the show, and we all loved those. The Seafood Salad and the Peking Duck and steamed buns were also really good. The only thing we all weren't a big fan of was the Seafood Birds Nest. It looked super pretty, but the "birds nest" was made from fried taro which got really soggy from the sauce. Overall, the foods were good, and we were all pretty satisfied. read more

My friend brought me to this Vietnamese Buffet! It was delicious I love Vietnamese food and this place gave me a chance to sample a variety of food, soup, and dessert! I definitely enjoyed this experience! I will come back and recommend this place. The food was really good. Everything I tried was good! I wish I had more space in my tummy to try more but I got full after all the food I ate. There was also quality in the food as the crawfish were the biggest I've seen and delicious! Try the soups! They are all good as well! This is a really good price for (2) dinner buffets at $68.20 without tip. We beat the crowd on a Wednesday at 6pm. read more

Traveled far from Southern California to experience a Vietnamese style buffet! The food is great and service is exactly what you'd expect if you cannot speak Vietnamese. We came for dinner around 5pm, and everything was fresh out of the kitchen. The biggest impression are the foods that I've never tried before unless we're at a night market. They had plenty of street style foods over the grill like oysters, wrapped banana leaf, and nem nuong meatballs. I think our favorite was the cold cut Hainan chicken (beautiful cuts and tasty scallion oil). The most disappointed was the crispy roast pork (pure fat, no layers of meat) The soup station was just decent. The broth wasn't hot enough but the chao was tasty. Don't forget to stop by the dessert station where they make a bunch of hot desserts or their classic three color dessert over ice. It was worth coming out once a blue moon but I'm glad we checked it off our list. read more

Hello does Kim son Buffet have a time limit? Do they have fried crab all the time? Thx
As far as I know, Kim Son does not have a time limit. I cannot answer if they have fried crab all the time though.
What's the main difference between lunch and dinner menu?
I think the dinner buffet offers more seafood options.
How much is the buffet?
I think it was around $30 for an adult when I went last month.
Hi there, I love seafood,I saw on Facebook they have a lot of seafood, Can someone tell me about the seafood ?thank you
They have a decent selection when we went. It was a Saturday for lunch. But be warned do not eat the oysters. two people in my party had them. One was mildly sick while the other was violently sick for a better part of a week. Besides that…
When do they offer grilled oyster?
They had them Saturday at lunch. But I would not recommend them. Two people I went with did and they got sick. Thankfully I was hesitant to try them.
Do they still have pork feet for buffet? When is the best time to visit? Lunch, dinner or weekend buffet? And what foods are different for those 3 time windows?
I haven't seen pig feet on the menu, go there early food are fresh and not too crowded.
I only have one day to spend in Houston. I already have dinner plans and I'll be eating dim sum elsewhere for lunch. But I want to try this also, don't judge. :) Will they run out of selections by 2pm? Will they have oysters on a weekday?
Surprisingly, they never run out of food, however, so I'm not sure about the availability of the oysters.
Do they have fish and prime rib during lunch?
Was here for lunch today (Thursday) - they do have some fried and grilled fish, fish balls and grilled shrimp, but no other shellfish and no prime rib.
Do they offer seafood? What are the various seafood options? When is the best/optimal time to visit for seafood? Thank you!
Yes! they have shrimp, squid, mussels and more I went around noon which it was a 40 minute wait but was soo worth it. When we left there wasn't much of a wait time so i would say best time to beat the line around 2p.m. Weekends. During the week not…
Are the lunch and dinner offerings different?
Yes, the menu is different thus the lower price. It is still good.
Do they offer lunch buffet on weekdays? If yes, what's the cost?
Yes they offer weekend buffet but forgot the cost of it per person
Are they serving crawfish right now?
I believe only on Friday nights from 5-8 p.m.
