“ I've come here a number of times and have always had delicious meals. Most recently had the Vietnamese sandwich combo lemongrass Porkbelly--it's spicy. If you haven't tried it before, just think thick-cut bacon pieces. The combo also comes with a pop. Simon is still the one behind preparing the food. I got a picture of him frying the porkbelly in the skillet. The food has always been great here and I will continue coming back ”
“ I've enjoyed several meals now at Chef Simon's Kitchen and they've all been excellent. My last visit was on Friday, March 17/2023 and I had the Pad Woon Sen, but with different noodles and added Beef. It was very tasty and satiating! The food quality is very high and the portion sizes are great value for the money, which they are fairly priced, I must add. The folks who own this place are very kind and I highly recommend giving this place a try. Thank you. 5/5 Stars! ”
