This is a frequent source of comedy between her and Kahn's mother, who comes to visit in one episode and insists on going through Minh's house and cleaning everything. While Kahn is at work, Minh takes care of Connie and the house and prefers to do the work herself. Appearance wise, Minh is thought of to be very attractive, especially by Joseph, who becomes overwhelmed by hormones and her sweater puppies, resulting in him making a move on her in haste. Kahn is also often the softer parent Minh pushes Connie very hard to be successful and fulfill his dreams of her attending an Ivy League school and playing violin for the Philharmonic, but Minh has several moments where she is decidedly in Connie's camp and offers her advice and comfort. Minh has a more positive outlook on her neighbors than Kahn, although sometimes her husband's attitude can be seen in her.
They later moved to Arlen, after what Minh described as 'neighbor problems', where they are often at odds with their 'hillbilly' neighbors. The two married and moved to Anaheim, California. As the daughter of a Laotian general, Minh, who stands 5'5', had been instructed to date a rich, accomplished man that her father had chosen, but spurned him for Kahn, who was rebellious, poor, and had a scooter.
