Kim Son Vietnamese Bistro Restaurant Review: Like most comfort foods, the Vietnamese soup called pho has unlimited variations. It’s also often a litmus test of a kitchen’s quality. Kim Son passes with flying colors. The large, colorful U. City restaurant is a good place for seafood---sometimes freshly plucked from tanks at the rear---as well as crisp egg rolls, spicy vermicelli and hotpots full of flavor. The salad of duck and green papaya is rich and refreshing at the same time, but on the whole, the menu is stronger on main courses than on appetizers. For a change of pace, check out the Cornish hen, frogs’ legs and other delicacies under the category “classic but unique dishes.” The beer and wine menu is far less exotic; for a splash of verve, check out the tapioca drinks in flavors like taro, avocado, durian and jack fruit. |
