Minh Ky Restaurant

I absolutely love this place and have been going for years. Great food for a reasonable price. Minh Ky is probably my favorite restaurant in general. It is certainly my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Little Saigon, which is a high bar as there are many great spots in the area.

Wonton Rice noodle ($11.95) - 3 star. First of all, the noodles should be rinsed in hot water first to remove the pee smell. I didn't like it because of the food coloring yellow. Bad for your health. And the wontons have a big chunk of pork fat in it. If you don't look, you will not notice at all. House Fried Rice ($14.50) - 4 star. It had 1 shrimp, a few chicken/beef/pork in it. It tasted like Chinese pork sausage fried rice. Service is 5 star. Parking is limited. Dirty looking restaurant but very popular. The place was packed on a Friday, lunch time.

It was pure coincidence that brought me here! I was planning on going to a nearby restaurant but when I got there, the place was closed early for the day for some kind of staff meeting. So I went to Minh Ky, which is the nearest open restaurant from where I was. I got the beef sate chow fun, kung pao chicken and an egg soda. Both beef chow fun and the kung pao chicken were delicious. The beef sate chow fun had plenty of beef, and flavorful sate sauce; kung pao chicken had lots of green peppers and onions but still plenty of chicken. I really enjoyed both dishes. The staff were friendly and kind enough to explain some other dishes that I was curious about. I'll definitely be back to try other stuff here.

I love food at this place

Parking: Very busy spot. Lineups are crazy because this place is so popular and good value. I was lucky to get a table between lulls... as soon as my food arrived, I noticed there was a standing line outside that formed with 5 minutes. Food was fresh, quickly served, and steaming hot when it arrived Kid-friendliness: Saw a lot of families. Very popular place for a good reason.
