I’ve waited to write a review after I’ve ate here a few times. As an asian who has ate pho all my life, this is the best and closest to my mom’s I’ve found. IMO, this is the best pho in KC and I’ve been to just about all of them (vietnam cafe, pho lan, pho bowl, nguyen pho, etc.). The broth is 100% authentic, very aromatic and full of flavor. You can taste all the spices come together perfectly. You know immediately this is a perfected, tried and true recipe passed down generations. I’ve tried the rare steak & seafood pho and both are great; the meat is perfect in both. The bowls are like $14, very reasonable with the quality and amount you receive. The egg rolls are great and the sauce is bar none. It’s very flavorful and unlike any I’ve tried. The service is super fast too. An older couple runs this place and they are very personable and welcoming. The place, however, is definitely on the smaller side. My fiancé overheard the people next to us say it feels like you’re in someone’s home but in a good way and I agree. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this place. TLDR: Some of the best pho out there. My fiancé and I clean our bowls every time.

This is the best Vietnamese food I have had ever! If you can drive and get here, I highly recommend it. We had the chicken Pho, the lemon grass chicken and the chicken Bahn mi. Every dish was incredible!! The broth was light and amazing, the lemongrass chicken had so much flavour and the spice was just right. The bahn mi was so savoury and the bread was so fresh. It’s like the best home cooking! Light enough to feel good and satisfying enough to feel satiated!! This is my new favourite go to! The older couple who run this place are sweet and welcoming! I will definitely keep coming back!

Ordered Ca Ri Ga, Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong(chicken), Thit Nuong (Banh Mi). The Banh Mi was one of the best in town. The bread is the game changer, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It just melted through and also the grilled pork was delicious. The Bun cha was great as well. The chicken in Ca Ri Ga was perfectly cooked, meat falling off the bone. But it had a bit of raw turmeric flavor to it, which I don’t appreciate as much. The place is family run, by a veteran and the chef is Vietnamese. Will definitely be back.
