Kim Phung Restaurant
7601 N. Lamar, 451-2464Daily, 10:30am-9pm
Kim Phung gets partial credit for starting the Vietnamese craze in Austin. They have a very complete menu, moderate prices, and tasty, dependable food served by an on-the-mark staff. The hot and sour soup rocks, and the lunch specials are delicious, big, and cheap. Most go for the bowls of pho (noodle soups, pronounced fuh) or the bun, but give the dinners a try next time (especially No. 107, shrimp with garlic, hot pepper, and lemongrass). Not to be missed is the No. 70 (steamed duck with egg noodle soup).
