Vietnamese spring rolls are one of my favorites and are pretty good here. We also ordered the fried broccoli, and one of the pho salad meals. All of it was good and will definitely be back

Excellent Vietnamese Cafe. Pho is great. And the spring rolls are excellent. They moved recently -ish. But have always been 1 of our favorites in Kansas City.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to my pho, lets get that straight. So when I say that this is the best pho place in town, you best believe it(but there's a caveat) I haven't been to this particular place ever since the original building got knocked down, which is like 3 years ago so I'd thought I'd give it a try again. Before, the pho was decent. The first time I ordered was a regular bowl of pho. Let me tell you, they barely give you any pho noodle. My bowl was left with nothing but full of soup. On my second try, I complained to the waiter about my last order not getting enough noodles. Its whatever so I ordered the XL or supersized bowl of pho and it was perfect. I highly highly recommend to always go with the XL pho. They also give you a HUGE amount of garnishes. The price of pho has gone up everywhere so the amount they give you here along with great soup stock, this has become my go to place. Usually when I eat pho its at Vietnam Cafe of Cafe Ve but its not as good as here. I gave the 4 stars for the service because the server girl looks depressing! LOL

Pros: Very Clean facilities, pleasant staff Cons: This is Vietnamese food. It should be amazingly flavorful and it was bland. I had grape leaf beef and lemongrass chicken. Neither taste it like they were appropriately Marinated, and on par with other Vietnamese restaurants serve high quality food. Atmosphere wise it was okay, but it's a gorgeous 65 outside and 76 in here, fans kept the air moving and made it bearable.
