The food was very delicious! Very relaxing atmosphere and excellent service! Will be back!

Never disappoints! The pho is incredible. I usually order the pho tai. The broth is packed with flavor. The spring rolls are great too, I recommend the pork. And the peanut sauce is the best I've ever had. We always order it for pick up so I can't comment much on the service however they are always friendly on the phone and when we come in to pick up. This is a hidden gem and I would absolutely recommend it. I know we will continue to give them our business!

There is a lot to recommend about KALM. It is cute, the server was kind and the food is made to order. We had the crepes and the fried Japanese noodles. we appreciated the variety of sauces on the table and the kim chi side we ordered tasry and not too fishy. IF I was to complain about anything it would be that our crepe was slightly undercooked and under stuffed. The peach flavored tea was too sweet for my taste. We would definitely return for the fresh light Vietnamese cuisine.

Never knew about this place until the wife and I saw it suggested. Went out to Gray and found it to be utterly delicious. Good food at a great price, would highly suggest.

Great food and awesome people! We had a fantastic time and will be back again! Our meals were amazing

Delicious soup noodles, good service, give you what you need! The drinks are also delicious and the restaurant is clean!

I could tell when I walked in that Kalm was the spot to be. tables were full and the food smelled AMAZING. there was a vegetarian/vegan section on the menu which made ordering easy. i got the tofu banh mi and the summer rolls. the summer rolls were so good and had so much flavor. i really enjoyed them. the banh mi was okay. it was very dry and needed a sauce. I ended up using my summer roll sauce and I wish I would have had more. the summer rolls and the smells inside were amazing though so i'm not too pressed about the banh mi.

You never know where you might find a quality immigrant-run restaurant, and I certainly would not have stopped at this anonymous Eastern Tennessee strip mall had my advance research not uncovered this place. It's small, seating on the order of twenty or so and devoting a significant amount of space to its buzzing open kitchen and a TV running travel shows set in Vietname. Their vegetarian menu (designated as vegan as well) offers seven items; the eighth was a joke that didn't quite land for me. I eschewed the basics (which looked good) in favor of the more unusual banh xeo, which is a rice-based crepe. Here, they cooked some tofu pieces into the crepe and then filled it with bean sprouts and added some lettuce and dipping sauce on the side. It was an interesting finger food experience, though I will say the chili sauce that came with my rolls (always order rolls at Vietnamese places) was better than the sweet sauce it came with. I wished I had room for more.
