Cafe Vie

Met up with some friends to try this new to me place. It's behind a strip mall and I would've never known it was there otherwise. The inside is not fancy by any means, but it is clean with plenty of seating. You can order at the counter or at the kiosk. I chose the kiosk, which is always nice to take your time at and look at all the options. They give you a number and call you back when ready. Very quick service for as busy as they were. I picked Spring Roll, Pad Thai Combo and Thai Milk Tea. Our table then shared all of our different orders. My kind of dining, no wonder they are friends. Everything was delicious! I enjoyed that the meal includes a broth soup and kimchi, because my lunch total was $30 including tip. I did walk away with take out boxes, which will make a great lunch again. I'm definitely keeping this place on my radar. Would love to go back again.

Ordered pho and some spicy noodles. It was packed inside but the food came out quickly. The pho was okay and had a nice flavour to it. The portion was big too. It's an okay place to get quick Asian food but wouldn't really come here for authentic food.

**Cafe Vie** is a cozy, cafeteria-style spot with some seriously tasty pho and a mix of Korean and Vietnamese eats. We tried the large beef pho, and wow, it was flavorful! The broth was rich and perfectly seasoned, and honestly, it's big enough to share--or save some for later unless you're super hungry (which is totally fine, too!). We also got the pork bao buns--they were good, but could've used a little sauce to make them even better. The pad Thai was different from the traditional version, with a sweet, tangy red sauce, but still tasty in its own way. So, if you're looking for great pho in a laid-back spot, this place is worth a visit. Only thing is, I wish they cleaned the tables a bit more, but I get it--they stay busy!

They have a an expansive menu with Korean and Vietnamese options. The interior feels sort of like a food hall/cafeteria which is kind of nice. However, the food is just ok. The chicken curry rice doesn't taste much like curry and kind of looks sort of just like a stewed chicken slurried with cornstarch to make a yellow gravy. It's somehow comforting but again, not curry. The pho broth is pretty flavorful but is extremely greasy. I've had it a few times and it is always very greasy :/ The meat is over cooked too and my broth had a BIG chunk (about the size of an adult man's thumb and palm of the thumb or chicken drumstick). We also had a half order of sweet and sour pork. It was a pretty hefty order. Came with a bunch of sauce on the side and heavily goopy/glazed as corn starch slurry. You'll find cheap eats here and it's just alright.

When we are craving Pho, we come here. One of the best place for Pho and other Asian dishes. Self serve. Casual dine in or carry out order. I haven't been in for awhile. They added a kiosk for ordering and it seem to be a little faster service. They must also have new management. The flavor of the Pho broth wasn't quite the same. But still good. Price is more reasonable than other places. I come here for the convenience and it's close to home.

Love it! Go for the Pho and the pot stickers. I like their Pad Thai as well! It is in a cute little area which we can walk to from our place which makes us more frequent visitors! We usually stop by Blessing Abound and World Market across the street after we are done, so a convenient location. Highly recommend!

If you're in Kansas City and craving Pho, this is the best spot in the area. The broth is rich and flavorful. The restaurant operates in a cafeteria-style setting.

Food was amazing, they had a wide variety of options - Korean, Vietnamese. They have a big seating area and two options to self order. Service was fast and easy - self serve.

The food is always amazing, hot and fresh at this spot. It's a staple when friends come into town. It's a quick order yourself and sit down inside.

Our go to spot! Getting our usual: spicy pork, jammpong, fried chicken, & fried dumplings.
