Vietnam Cafe

This is my go to place for pho. The broth is SO GOOD. Definitely get the Vietnamese coffee. It'll wake you up :)

Some of the best food I've had in KC.We stopped in on a Friday at around 2 pm. Probably too late for the lunch crowd but too early for dinner, so there was no problem parking right in front of the restaurant and getting seated immediately.We had spring rolls, Pho (seafood and chicken), and lemongrass beef (forgot the name). Everything was delicious and the prices were reasonable.I would love to try some of the other menu items.

I came here because this place was one of the highest rated restaurants close to the downtown KC area. But oh my god, how the heck did this get the high rating it has? Maybe they were better in the past, but all the food was just so sweet. I absolutely hate wasting food. But I left this food behind because I genuinely found it just inedible. My parents felt the same way, they had a few bites and just couldn't stomach it. Service also wasn't great. We waited for about 5 minutes to be seated (party of 3) when they only had like 3 other tables to wait on. And even then, we felt like we were forgotten because we had to flag one of the employees down after 20 minutes of waiting for someone to take our order. We should have just walked away at this point... that's a huge red flag.Bad service, mid atmosphere, horrendous food. Skip this place. IF it was good before, it definitely is not anymore. Coming from an Asian person who knows what good pho is.

Fast service, very clean, and pay at the counter so quick when you're done. The food is delicious, flavorful, and well prepared. Details are important and you can see it in their dishes. Parking isn't bad along the street but it doesn't get full quickly! Great place for Pho but also so many other Vietnamese plates. Love the original location best in Columbus Park

I'm so glad they expanded! It's been a long time coming. Their dishes are beyond just good pho. They have most of the normal popular Vietnamese dishes and they have something for everyone. I always get the Mi Kho (egg noodles with pork and shrimp) and my husband gets the pho with beef meatballs every time. We will drive out of our way to get our fix. And the service in the restaurant is fast and efficient!

Not sure if I chose the wrong day to order or the cooks was swamped. First off Utensils. I've requested it and of course they didn't give any. I was there for a business meeting and its just not convenient to hunt down forks or chopsticks to eat your food. It should be in there automatically! Ordered the Porkchop combo with their shredded crab, eggs, and meatloaf.Missing the meatloaf...and the "porkchop(s)" seemed so beat up and unevenly seared that it was just unappetizing to look at. one sided was somewhat grilled and the other side was pale white. The Shredded pork floss... was on the side which was soggy? I don't even know what made it that but i felt like it wasn't fresh. Overall this dish was a disappointment. The Pho on the other hand was decent. Portion was fair but cutting up a meatball into 4 pieces is what i call cutting corners. Vietnamese food use to be a stable of affordability. It use to be good cheap eats with great portions. Due to how trending foods are and hiked prices. You're definitely not getting your bang for your buck. Even so if I am paying premium prices or "standard" I should get a fair quality. Overall, the chef didn't pay attention to details in the order and just half assed it. I wished I got a better experience vs how others have praised upon this place.

Vietnam Cafe with its unassuming green awning, lies on an quiet corner in Columbus Park. This is one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in KC in my opinion, with its no-fuss service, décor, and bountiful platters of tasty food. My husband always gets the pho, which he says has one of the better broths in KC. I'm a big fan of their shrimp bun with its cool crisp veggies and warm grilled shrimp. It's perfect for any weather honestly. I would not recommend Vietnam Cafe if you're looking for an elevated experience. It honestly is a place you go when you want a plate of good food for a reasonable price. One of the surprisingly tastiest items on their menu is the salted lemonade. It's made with preserved lemons and it's mind-boggling good. You'll either hate me or thank me later. :)

Pretty good pho with decent portion sizes.Egg rolls weren't great, though.I like they also have some chè desserts (paid for separately at the counter).

Came here for lunch, first customers in the restaurant for the day! Food was good, service was terrific!

Authentic food. Love the peanut sauce for the fresh shrimp rolls. Love the shredded chicken salad can't get that everywhere. Gave one less star because not a fan of their Vietnamese iced coffee. Too much ice and don't wanna wait for it to melt to blend with the coffee. This is based on the explanation when I asked why so much ice and not a lot of coffee.
