Chez Kim — Restaurant in Laval (administrative region)

Tried this little Vietnamese Asian fusion place for the first time. Since the closure of my favorite place a couple of years ago because of covid, I was in search for a similar place since.

This place is very small. I think maybe 30 person can sit max?

The menu is typical Asian fusion. I took the tao special which is a small house soup, fried roll and general tao chicken. They have combination that offer similar offer, unsure why it's just not called a combination but no big deal. It was good. The soup do remind me of charme cochinchinne home made soup. The fried roll was nice. Something weird is instead of giving you a dip, they gave you a bottle of the dressing that you put on it like sirup on pancake.

The general tao was cooked properly, not dry, not hard, and the sauce was good too. It was a bit too liquid but still very good and in good proportion, enough that I could use my rice at the end to take the rest.

My girlfriend took combination E which is beef with house soup and fried roll. It was also good.

The little downside was the service. I felt it was cold, very slow and I'm not sur we were getting understood. My girlfriend received a fried roll but not me. When we asked if I had one they said yes. What happen is once we received our plate, she had a fried roll in it! So in short, the tao special comme with a seperate fried roll served after the house soup but the combination serve it in the plate. Would been good to know since we were wondering if something was missing.

But aside of that, very good food, I'll come...

1 - When you walk in it smells like it is very closed in even though half the place was empty. It smells like sweat , dust and dirty mop water.

2- My Girlfriend took a sip of her soup and it was so piping hot that I almost had to call the fire department , everything is boiling hot.

3 - The Peanut butter dumplings were very Salty.

4- The General Tao was okay and Sweet and Sour Beef was boring.

5 - I don't know who would drive from St-Jerome to come to this place ( I saw other reviews) but I wouldn't cross the street to come back

Only thing positive was the service they...

This was a cute find! It's a small restaurant but the place was packed and the staff was able to accommodate everyone. Special mention to the waiter. He was working alone and was able to balance every table in a fast and courteous manner. You can see that the staff really care about their business.

The food was piping hot and delicious! Reminds me of home cooked meals with mom.

It's a BYOB, so I will definitely be going back with a bottle for a...
