Run Away by Broncito on 6/28/2011 via Citysearch
I've been going to this restaurant for about 15 years. The quality has ebbed and flowed over time, but my most recent visit will finally be my very last. We sent out spring rolls back because the lettuce inside them was brown, they were…

okay prices...good refreshing no alcohol drinks...service ba by gjt3rd on 11/12/2009 via Citysearch
The restaurant is near my workplace so I eat there a few times a month. They have very good wonton soup with real broth. Their drinks are very tasty. This is not a dress up kind of place. The staff...well...sometimes I think maybe…

food not fresh, rude staff by foodlady09 on 8/10/2009 via Citysearch
Kim Phung was the first place I was introduced to after moving to Austin in 1997. The food/prices were great. After a few years, I noticed the quality going downhill. I stopped dining there. A co-worker suggested we go there today. I…

Only if you're looking to purge by miasmomma on 2/24/2009 via Citysearch
Since the old owners sold the restaurant, the quality has definitely gone down. My husband and I went there twice after the new owners bought it & we both got sick those 2 times. I do NOT recommend eating here. It's sad because it was…

Terrible service, they cannot even speak English, and food came burnt by Daniel M on 10/2/2008 via Insider Pages
Me and my wife were there because of course my wife is Chinese but the food that she ordered came out burnt and black and they wanted to serve it to her. Then they took it back to the kitchen and didn't remake it but only took out the…

good cheap food by Stephanie B on 6/4/2008 via Insider Pages
I recommend their florescent orange hot and sour soup, vermicelli rolls with peanut sauce and Vietnamese coffee. The cedar park location is more swanky than the original Lamar location featuring nice dishes (rather than plastic), and…

They've been changing their chefs when I last had it. They're slowly getting "better" but still not at top...

Best Pho and Bun Anyhere!!! by devls24 on 2/9/2007 via Citysearch
I first visited the Lamar location a couple of years ago and was impressed with the quality of the food. Just recently, they have opened up another store by the Super Target across from Lakeline Mall. The food tastes even better here. …

Tummy Troubles by Amy C. on 10/31/2005 via Judy's Book
I used to eat at Kim Phung religiously because it was so cheap, but after several weeks of doing so, I noticed having stomach problems after each meal. I really don't think they use the freshest ingredients and certainly reuse some of…

Recycling in a bad way. by Christina B. on 10/28/2005 via Judy's Book
I used to eat at Kim Phung's fairly frequently. Cheap food and yummy.A friend of mine went to work there as a waitress. She didn't last too long because she kept getting in trouble for throwing away the vegetables that had been served and…

Great food, inexpensive by Katie H on 9/12/2005 via Insider Pages
Kim Phung has consistently been voted (by the Austin Chronicle Readers' Polls) as among the best noodle houses. It's really inexpensive and the pho is fantastic---I recommend the pho with eggrolls (they have pork and are delicious). The…

Excellent Vietnamese Food! by Katie H. on 8/19/2005 via Judy's Book

Thumbs Up by kitiany on 7/6/2005 via Citysearch
I recall when there was always a 30-60 minute wait at Kim Phung. In 2005, there is no waiting line. The reason is because other noodle places have sprung up. Kim Phung may not have the most "traditional Vietnamese" flavors, but as a…

The Best!!! by lzarosky on 6/15/2005 via Citysearch
This is the best asian food around. I drive from Slaughter on a regular basis to enjoy everything KimPhung has to offer. There is no other place like it in Austin. I don't know what they do to their dishes to make them taste and smell…

Kim Phung is Awesome!!! by jmatteson on 8/13/2003 via Citysearch
My wife and I try to go at least once a week. We really enjoy #63 on their menu which is charbroiled pork w/ lemon grass, hot pepper & garlic on rice vermicelli. Their vermicelli bowls are why my friends and I continue to come back for…

Too smelly for me by gogonguyen on 7/2/2003 via Citysearch
Kim Phung's food is pretty good, albeit not terribly authentic, but it's the smell I can't get past. It's not the smell of the food, it's the smell of the place--a cross between disinfectant and bathroom--that makes the experience just…

a steal by nevernowforever on 5/20/2003 via Citysearch
The food is so amazing and the price so low, I feel like I'm stealing....and it's a great feeling!

Not for Vietnamese by vo_dang on 1/27/2003 via Citysearch
This is the most overrated, worst Vietnamese place in town. Do any of you notice that there are few Vietnamese who actually eat there? I would guarantee you the people giving the rave review/voting for "Best Noodle House" are not…

Always awesome by WilmaBob on 10/5/2002 via Citysearch
Kim Phung is consistently good, fast, cheap and reliable. What more could one want in a noodle house?
