    Chicken pho + fried egg (medium bowl)
    Taylor K.

    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.

    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.

    beef pho
    Thu P.

    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.

    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.

    Medium Beef Pho
    Avrie G.

    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!

    Large beef pho
    Bri'e D.

    **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!

    Curry chicken
    Joyce W.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pad Thai and Veggie Bun
    Olivia S.

    Best Pho in town! The Vegetable Bun is the perfect comfort food, and the pad thai never disappoints. The service is fast and the restaurant is very clean.

    When after work to have some Pho. Sweet and savory and loaded with ingredients, definitely will be coming back next time I'm in town

    I used to live just around the corner from 119th and Quivira…read more If Khop Jai Der had been there back then, leaving the neighborhood would've been a whole lot harder. Restaurants come and go. I watched one disappear from this very spot years ago. In its place is a Lao family sharing a piece of home with Kansas City. From the moment we walked in, the room smelled of fresh herbs, toasted spices, and slow-simmered broths. Before I even opened the menu, I had a feeling I was about to eat well. Mimi welcomed us like old friends. Instead of rattling off the most popular dishes, she asked what we liked, talked about the food she grew up eating, and guided us through the menu with the kind of pride you can't fake. We started with the Moo Ping and Lao sausage, and both set the tone for the rest of the meal. The grilled pork was smoky around the edges with a savory marinade and just enough sweetness to keep you reaching for another skewer. The Lao sausage was unlike anything I'd had before--packed with herbs and spices and served with crisp vegetables, fresh ginger, jalapeños, and a bright dipping sauce that let every bite taste a little different. For our entrées, Mimi recommended the Pad Kua Mee and the Mee Ka Til. On paper they're both noodle dishes. On the table, they're two completely different stories. The Pad Kua Mee leaned on the quiet confidence of perfectly cooked rice noodles kissed by the wok, while the Mee Ka Til wrapped tender beef in a fragrant coconut curry broth layered with herbs, peanuts, and vegetables that changed with every bite. Then came my first taste of mango sticky rice. Sweet, juicy mango, warm emerald-green sticky rice, silky coconut cream, and toasted sesame seeds. I actually caught myself doing a little happy dance at the table. After we finished eating, Mimi pulled up a chair and shared a little of her family's story. One thing she said stayed with me: every dish is tasted before it leaves the kitchen. Not because they're chasing perfection, but because they want every plate to taste the way their family remembers it. That's when the meal made sense. The food wasn't trying to impress me with oversized portions or flashy presentations. It was trying to introduce me to Lao cuisine the way their family knows it--with care, with pride, and with recipes that have earned their place at the table. I came because I wanted to try Lao food. I'll keep coming back because Khop Jai Der reminded me that the best restaurants don't just feed you. They share a piece of themselves, and if you're lucky, you leave with a story worth telling.

    Last fall I had an amazing Papaya Salad at a food court in St. Paul at The Hmong Village mall. I…read morehave been craving it ever since and for my birthday lunch this week I drove across the metro to this Lao restaurant to satisfy my craving. Khop Jai Der is a very small place with tables crowded together that made it difficult to navigate with my current and temporary situation of using crutches. I ordered the Papaya Salad and asked for moderate spice level. What I received looked nothing like my last fantastic salad. Very little sauce, a skimpy amount of papaya, pieces of cabbage that were way too large and a spice level that was way over-board. The female that brought my dish ignored me for the rest of my lunch even though she was sitting at the table next to me talking to her friends. I never got a water refill that I desperately needed and had to get up and maneuver my way to the restroom for napkins after deleting the two at the table because of severe sinus drain. I finally took 70% of my meal to the register and asked for a to-go box. I showed my Hmong co-worker the next day and he agreed that this was not the place to get what I craved. He brought me a homemade bowl of the greatest papaya salad for my lunch today so I finally did find redemption, but it wasn't from KJD. With an almost inedible $20+ lunch, inadequate and dismissive service while my digestive tract was on fire and a claustrophobic environment, I can't find a reason to recommend this place. The biggest let down that I've had in a very long time.

I usually come here for dim sum, and it is upsetting for me to say that my husband and I should've chose somewhere else to eat for dinner. For dinner, we ordered fried rice and chow fun. Those two main entrées were okay. You can't really mess up those two fillers at an Asian restaurant. We ordered scallion pancakes- they came out soggy and soft. Not even crispy like how they usually are. The flavor wasn't there either. If I wanted microwaved scallion pancakes, then I would've bought them from the store and made them myself. My husband ordered the short ribs- they were bland and tough like rubber. It had a funky taste to it that he couldn't describe and he had to force himself to swallow it because he didn't want food to go to waste. I ordered the chicken feet- this is one of dim sum's signature dishes and I am so upset I didn't even get to enjoy one of the dishes I always order. It was dry and the flavor wasn't there. The service was fantastic. They checked in on us and made sure our water was filled. The timing of the food coming in and out was fine. The ambiance was inviting. There was a sense of urgency and I appreciated that.

The bread was perfectly toasted and had a nice crust, though I do wish it had a little more meat. Overall, it was a good lunch experience. I think I'd come back after the crowds settle down a bit so we can try more of the menu at a more relaxed pace.
