So far as we can tell, this is the only place to get mock meats (chick'n and such) now that Cafe Bamboo has left us. And while vegans should eat a balanced diet of whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and fresh fruits and vegetables most of the time, you just gotta get your sweet and sour chick'n on every now and then. While Kim Son technically serves both Chinese and Vietnamese food, the only veg Vietnamese option you'll find on the menu is the "vegetarian spring roll" on the veg page - it's basically a summer roll, and a really good one. (If you're looking for Vietnamese on the Westbank, you're probably better off just heading to Pho Tau Bay.) I FINALLY got to eat here - third time's the charm I guess. And I don't think it's going to blow your mind or anything. But I'm glad to have the option, and with an entire page of "vegetarian" options (beware - some of these DO contain egg) I won't run out of things to try. The "bean cake with curry and coconut sauce in clay pot" is pretty darn tasty. The hot and sour soup, however... well let's just say it's not what you remember from your pre-v days.
