Hearty noodle soups and grilled meats in a casual setting
"The crowds congregating outside Kevin’s are all jostling to see who can eat their incredible phở first—and you should join them. The laidback place on Irving pumps out steaming bowls of soup so full they put the laws of surface tension to the test. There are about 30 phở combinations to choose from with different cuts of meat (it’s all about personal preference in the beef department, but the chicken renditions are excellent, too). You can go small, medium, or large, but you’ll want large." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"On nights when the thought of cooking is less appealing than listening to the Bluey theme song for three hours straight, have a quick midweek dinner at Kevin’s. The Vietnamese restaurant in the Sunset serves some of the best phở in town, with kid’s portions available of their steak, meatball, and chicken versions. Setting a bowl of this noodle soup in front of a child is a great way to quiet them down for at least five consecutive minutes—you can maybe finally get around to beating your Candy Crush record while they slurp." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"Kevin’s has been an Irving phở hot spot for years—just look to the crowds that form daily outside this Vietnamese standby. They’re waiting to fill up on gorgeously fried egg rolls, fragrant phở dặc biệt, and hefty vermicelli bowls topped off with a glug of nước chấm. The cafeteria-sized dining room is an efficient operation, so don’t be intimidated by the line. You’ll be polishing off bowls of bouncy egg noodles and watermelon slushies before you can even say Kevin & Chris’s Noodle House five times fast." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"You’ll spot the crowd outside Kevin’s from a block away. This Vietnamese spot has been Irving’s phở destination for years and shows no signs of slowing down. This is an efficient, casual operation, so prepare to sit down, finish off your bowl of noodles, and leave satisfied. Going with any of the soups on the menu is a good move, but the vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and imperial rolls is also well worth your attention." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"At Kevin’s, a few things are guaranteed: steaming hot phở, sub-$15 prices, and getting asked for your order before you’ve even decided where to put your tote bag. Meals end within an hour, making this Sunset spot the least painful place to meet a couple that cannot stop publicly nose-booping each other. Do your best to slurp up a bowl of egg noodles without rolling your eyes, and you’ll be home by 9pm." - julia chen 1
