I have been coming to this café for years and I'm not sure why I've never posted a review. This place is phenomenal. The first time we went. I got the beef pho my husband got the beef Bulgogi. The pho is delicious massive portions with amazing flavor, perfectly cooked noodles and delicious tender cuts of meat. I feel like most people are coming here for the pho. I tried his Bulgogi. It was just as delicious very tender. You can definitely taste all of the flavors in it. It came with rice and some kimchi. Also cooked perfectly, and the kimchi was punchy and crunchy. Every other time that we have visited here, we have gotten the pho. I've also tried the chicken. It's just as a delicious. I know this place has won some awards for its food and I can see why. I did recently try some crab Rangoon's. They were delicious as well not too greasy just the perfect crunch and flavor I come here about twice a month and I will continue to do that because the quality and the price is perfect. read more

Adorable quaint cafe. Delicious and efficient! We ordered the chicken pho, beef pho, veggie bun, beef bun, strawberry boba, and mango boba. My favorite was the chicken pho! The perfect winter dish. They serve you a side dish with veggie additions and have a variety of sauces available on the tables and the main counter. read more

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. read more

This place just feels really cheap and the quality of food tastes the same. The price is not justifiable for the quality either. There was no combination pho, which is what I usually get and should be a staple in every Vietnamese restaurant. So I just got the beef pho. The broth itself had no flavoring and the noodles were already way too soft when I got my bowl. They also serve lemons instead of limes? Very odd and when we asked for extra lime, they gave us a lemon. You order at the kiosk and pick up the food there too. Utensils and sauces are provided in a self serve station. The way the tables are arranged makes it really hard to walk through without bumping into people. I wanted to give this place another try but sadly had the same mediocre experience as last time. There are better Vietnamese spots in the area. read more

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. read more

This is one of the best places I have been to and tried in a long time! I have never tried Pho, until yesterday and I am now craving it again! The atmosphere is cozy. It feels like a little cafe. You order at the register using the kiosk, so it was easy to manage. I loved the self-serve aspect, especially when trying something new and having the opportunity to browse the menu. The food was delicious. One of the employees will call your number, and there is a tray prepped with your food and seasoning. Hoisin sauce + Siracha are on the table for easy access also! The beef pho was truly delicious. The broth tastes wonderful and comforting, and this was the first time I had rice noodles instead of ramen noodles! I was pleasently surprised, and it might be my preference! I can't wait to come back and try more of this menu. Definitely a go to spot on my own or with friends from now on! read more

Cafe Vie - Medium Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

**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! read more

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. read more

I recently dined at Cafe Vie for the first time in a while. It is a casual spot with self-service kiosks and spacious seating. I came on a Sunday afternoon, which was a pretty busy time. The food came out relatively quickly and the portions were generous. Food Breakdown: Donkatsu (Pork Cutlet): The cutlet was crispy and they give you a lot of rice and salad on the side. Pad Thai: Sweet, tangy, and nutty flavors. It was a little different as it was more saucier than I'm used to for pad thai. Jjajangmyeon (Black Bean Noodles): The sauce was a bit more sweeter than usual. I did like the large portion size. The casual dining setup was comfortable and convenient. It's a good spot for a variety of options and a quick pick me up. read more

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. read more

A friend and I visited this little restaurant for a quick, yet delicious meal. We ordered the chicken pho and gimbap. If you shop at the oriental market next door, its the same gimbap they sell there which are absolutely delicious! The chicken pho wasn't the best soup I've ever had, but it got the job done. You order via a kiosk and you're called up to grab your order! They've got a ton of different options I'd like to try in the near future! Seating was a little packed, which is always a good sign right? But you can feel a little close to one another when it's a full house read more

I'm not sure where others ate as we were looking forward to eating here. We ordered the Pad Thai (which was overcooked chicken and undercooked noodles), crab Rangoon's were meh, spring rolls were at least a day past when they should have been served. Lettuce was brown and spoiled, and the dip sauce had a hard coat on top. There are several great Asian restaurants in this town, but unfortunately, this was not one of them. read more

The pho was good and a very generous portion. It wasn't busy so it was super easy to get a table. The employees were kind and my food was out quickly. The crab Rangoon were not good- super fishy and weird tasting. The tables were nearly all dirty, despite having very few customers. You order on a screen, the whole thing is self service and you have zero interaction but are still asked if you want to tip. read more

I walked in and was excited to see digital kiosks that I could order from. It was setup cafeteria style where you go pickup your food when they call your number out. You also bus your own table.. this seems to be why the tables weren't very clean and a bit sticky. On the bright side the prices seemed reasonable for the amount of food you get. The boba tea was blended which was very different than my usual tea order and it was delicious! I will definitely be returning for the boba tea. read more

As long as you realize that you don't come here for the atmosphere or experience, it's an amazing place. The food is delicious! Being very much a basic white girl, I can't speak to any authenticity, but I can tell you that it tastes fantastic. The service isn't great, but that's sort of the thing about this place: it's simple, unpretentious, and good. I asked for some extra onion, which they happily gave me... I don't need someone to pretend to be SO excited I'm there as long as the food holds up and they deliver on that end. Portion sizes were also good for the price, my husband and I easily each got two meals out of our entrees. Give Cafe Vie a try, just manage your expectations of everything but the quality of the food. read more

We stopped here after we realized that there was authentic Asian food just a mile away from our hotel. This place enforced the COVID protocol and strictly going by online order or through the kioske touch screen. We stuck with traditional Vietnamese pho soup and egg fried rice Korean dish along with some eggrolls. It was good that we came early since more people showed up after 11:30am. Overall, I liked it but my wife thought rice was too oily. read more

With a sad and heavy heart, and after months of giving this spot numerous chances to change my mind, I'm writing this updated review. What started off with a 5-star review experience slowly but surely declined, demanding this 1-star review. It seems that after the management change, this restaurant was set on a downward trajectory of bad service and bad quality food. My first visit, post the management change, was HORRIBLE. The jjamppong tasted like they put ramen packets in it, the noodles were way overcooked, and the beef pho was beyond salty - it literally felt like we were drinking from the Pacific Ocean. Not to mention that it took them 30+ minutes to get us our food. Nonetheless, it had only been a couple months since the lockdown, and I wanted to be lenient. It's NEVER easy having to change your business overnight. However, it was the consecutive 5-visits after that visit that convinced me to REMOVE my original 5-star review, and it was my most recent visit that convinced me to write them a 1-star review. Nothing has changed for the better when it comes to the quality and taste of the food. In fact, it's only gotten worse. They've increased the price of everything on their menu by $2, whole dollars, their food portions have shrunk significantly, the freshness of their pho veggies is always questionable, and their broth tastes mediocre (always super salty like they've been been boiling them for HOURS on end). I almost always find myself chugging tons of water after a visit. Their food has WAAY too much msg. Never coming back. It's just not worth the money or the time anymore. read more

Great selection of Korean and Vietnamese food. Quick, clean, good service and good food!

I was hunkering for pho & my girls said I should try Cafe Vie. I would have to say I was disappointed in the overall setup. You ordered from a kiosk after looking at menus posted on the clear plastic walls that surround the kitchen & prep area. I ordered the shrimp/krab spring rolls & medium beef pho. You are given a number and then wait for your number to be called. My shrimp & Krab spring roll were large and fresh. The sauce is a sweet & spicy. At first I didn't think there was much beef but as I ate my pho clearly looks was deceiving. The pho had good flavor but was too sweet for me. The prices are decent as well. Main pros price, size/taste of the spring rolls & meat quantity. Cons were the atmosphere, kiosk & sweetness of the pho read more

This place has the busy pho in town. It is such a delicious place to eat. I go here as often as I can.

I stopped here for lunch. It is cafeteria style with an ipad ordering system. I liked having the option to peruse the menu on the ipad and take my time ordering without speaking to staff. I tried the pad Thai. It was average. I thought it should have been spicier. It did not have any spice options like other places have. I also got the fresh spring rolls. They were pre made and plastic wrapped. They were huge. The lettuce was no longer crunchy and did not taste very fresh. We also tried the pork bun. This was tasty but about average. We also tried the small chicken pho. The size was really big and we ended up taking more than half home. I enjoyed the broth and chicken. This was my favorite dish that I tried. I tried the frozen boba drinks and they were really good. I tried the Thai tea boba, the milk tea boba, and the Taro boba. The Thai tea flavor was my favorite. The taro tea was too sweet for me and I could only have a little because of this. The pricing overall was decent. It was a good price for the tea and I have already been back to grab one for a sweet treat. read more
