" First time in and was recommended the fried rice - WOW! I can see why it’s touted as the best in town. Pairing it with the sweet tea made for a refreshing meal. The staff here is incredibly welcoming - they really take the time to make sure you’re taken care of. The place is cozy, which I like as it adds to the homely vibe. Bring cash, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kim Chai is a combination of hominess and delicious food. The highlight of my recent visit was their egg rolls - easily the best I’ve ever had! Staff was great too, always cheerful and polite. The only downside is needing to have cash on hand, which seems a bit outdated. That said, I'm so thankful that I stumbled upon this place. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kim Chai might not look fancy from the outside, but don't let that deceive you. The food holds its own against any high-end place! Don't forget to try the hot wings - perfectly crispy with a great seasoning blend. I appreciate how the staff treats everyone like friends - small places like this are rare gems! " (*Curated Review*)

" When it comes to comfort food, Kim Chai delivers! I ordered the house fried rice and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of protein in it! The staff was excellent and very attentive, making sure everything was to my liking. It's clear they've built a loyal clientele here. Just be mindful of their cash-only policy when you visit - it's worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kim Chai Restaurant is a gem! My husband and I have been returning for years, and the food continues to amaze us. The fried rice is the best I've ever tasted, and their wings are out of this world. We've brought friends who now rave about it too, and they keep asking when we are going back. The only downside is their cash-only policy, which can occasionally catch you off guard. Still, it's worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have loved this place for decades! The fried rice is still the best in the city, and the staff has always been friendly and inviting. The only catch is that they only accept cash – this is an old school joint. If you're looking for a hearty meal with generous portions at unbeatable prices, Kim Chai is the place to go! However, one of my visits had a delayed service, which was disappointing, but the food was still great. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a long-time diner at Kim Chai, I can attest to the quality and consistency of their food. The cash-only policy might be a hassle for some, but the value offers is unparalleled. I particularly enjoy the orange chicken; it's always fresh and flavorful. However, the atmosphere could be improved, as it does have a little cramped feel during busy hours. Overall, great value for the price! " (*Curated Review*)
