Asian Food Market

TL;DR: Decent but not nearly as good as the reviews have made it out to be. If you want to get Lao, Thai, or Vietnamese food like the kinds offered here, get it somewhere that prides itself on it. For dishes similar to Lao cuisine, I'd recommend Spicy One in Overland Park. Thai, I'd always recommend making the trek out to Waldo Thai (it's worth it) and for Vietnamese, I'd recommend Pho Saigon in Overland Park or Pho Lan in downtown KC. When I first heard about this place, I couldn't believe this little market had flown under my radar in Olathe for so long and had to try it. My group and I got the Pad Kra Prao (stir-fried beef and peppers) with a fried egg and the Khao Poon (rice noodles in curry with bean sprouts and mint). It was a joy to see these traditional dishes on a menu, but neither were exactly what I'd hoped for. Khao Poon is supposed to be rich and multilayered, but it was rather one-dimensional and tasted mostly like peanuts. The Pad Kra Prao was better and the spices came through well, perhaps a little too well on the black pepper. Overall, the food was good for one visit but after the Yelp reviews on this spot, I was hoping for more. If you do decide to try Asian Food Market, keep in mind that the food court can seem deserted upon first glance since no one staffs it and few people eat here, but one of the checkout clerks can provide menus and utensils.

Food was good at reasonable prices. Service is good too. Very helpful. The grocery items are very authentic, southwest Asian.

The food is good, service is really bad and the groceries are so-so. I walked in and was the only customer, thought they would be attentive but instead the lady asked me pho? Pho? I said no I wanted to see the menu, but she'd kept pushing "pho? Pho?" And assumed that's what I wanted. I waited for a menu but instead she went to the back and ordered me a pho, when it came out I told her I wanted to order from the menu. She got mad and after she took my order ranted about me to her worker. Weird experience but not a big deal, whoever reads this just be careful of the "angry-assuming lady" and her rants. Food is a good representation of Laos/Viet dishes, reminded me of home back in the Little Saigon in the OC.

A Vietnamese and Thai place 2 miles from my house?! Yes please!!!!!!Called in a carry out order with pretty terrible customer service. But, I guess if you don't feel emotionally abused within the first 10 seconds at a Vietnamese place, the food won't be good.Drove in ten minutes later, and food came hot all prepared.Ordered the beef pho with the shrimp spring rolls. The pho was decent--it unfortunately wasn't mind blowing, but it was decent! Spring rolls were good; they're served here in a sweet and sour sauce versus the peanut sauce.Prices were good, and I was glad to see that there was a place so close by to my home.

No fuss, no flare authentic Vietnamese food for people on the go. The beat up furniture, non-working tv, the laminated menus that haven't been updated in years, located on an internet-assuming street or warehouse district; This is the quintessential Pho experience, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My first time eating here, I saw a table with construction workers seated with their bright orange vests still on, and I knew it was going to be good. These are the people Pho is made for. It is not meant to be an elegant dining experience. If I walk into a Pho restaurant and it's super clean with modern decor, I'm out.I ordered a Pho tai with some egg rolls, everything was excellent. Afterwards I did some shopping for some Asian ingredients, and found everything I needed in this small 4-5 aisle market. This might be my favorite place in Olathe.

The spring rolls were amazing! I wish they had peanut sauce for dipping but great either way and the pho had such rich broth! 10/10 for me- it was a little pricy but worth it!

I had high hopes for finding some authentic, tasty food at Asian Food Market. When I stopped in there wasn't anyone around the restaurant seating area, so I asked the gentleman sitting at the grocery register if food was being served that day. He looked at me and didn't respond - I wasn't sure if it was a language barrier or if he hadn't heard me so I repeated myself in Vietnamese. In an annoyed tone, he said yes there's food at the restaurant and pointed to the seating area. So I sat myself and waited (in view of him), and no one came to help. He didn't call anyone to help, nor did he say anything to me if I was doing something wrong. After 10 minutes of waiting, I saw that another family brought their food from the back and seated themselves to eat. I walked back to see if maybe there was a place to order in the back, but I didn't see anything. Anyway, no signs giving direction, rude service, and I ended up leaving because it was so awkward. I will not return.

Everything here is amazing (see my other reviews on this place). The papaya salad is so legit- my favorite in KC metro. How fun to shop in an Asian grocery store while you wait on your delicious food!

Moved to the area, saw on Yelp about eating here cause of the ratings. When I went there no customers around, asked the guy at the register, "Can I order food here?" He shouted "The kitchen close at 6!" (proceeded to go back on his phone) Id said "Oh ok." No where it stated restaurant hours. Didn't want to make it awkward so I roam up and down the aisle to see what they had so it wasn't a wasted trip. Just disappointed all around.

I've been visiting Kansas couple times but it's so hard to find a good restaurant here . I finally found the place for my go to ! Their pho, kao poon and egg rolls are a must haves ! The kao poon taste just like what Hmong pekple would make. The broth is a little bit too little for both of the kao poob or pho But overall, I'm still okay with it. The pho taste like Vietnamese pho . They also have the beef paste for you to put it on too , which is a plus because beef paste are expensive and not a lot of restaurants will do this ! Egg rolls is also great ! Some are super plain at other restaurants but this is a pretty good egg roll ! I will be going back to try their kaopiaj, phad see ew , and phad Thai ! For sure, it should be good !
