14 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Overland Park

“Great food. Very consistently.“

“I know this is a bold statement to make, but this restaurant’s the best Lao restaurant I’ve visited thus far in the U.S., and I’ve been to quite my fair share of them in the U.S. in these past seven years. The workers and owner here at Khop jai der noodles are very friendly and the larb nam tok siin, thum khao poon, nam khao, khua mii, Lao beef jerky, Lao sausage, Lao milk tea, red summer drink, and green summer drink are the bomb! I love that all the dishes I ordered are as authentic as how my Lao friends/family and I’d make it, have reasonable prices, and have reasonable portion sizes. A lot of Asian restaurants in the U.S. are all over the place with their spice levels, but this restaurant doesn’t play, and their “hot”/second most spiciest level, was pretty spicy for someone who can tolerate a lot of spice. It’s nice that I was made clear of this as I was ordering. Their wait times are also reasonable. I ordered a lot, not to mention that they were also taking other in-person and over-the-phone orders, but I got all my dishes in less than 30 minutes. I had a fun time talking with Auntie Mimi, the owner, and Uncle Guy, the co-owner, after my meal. Uncle Guy even offered to help me box my food and take my food to my car, but I didn’t take up his offer since I didn’t want to get in the way of other orders/customers. Lastly, I wanted to note that Auntie Mimi was very courteous on the phone when I called two days before my visit to confirm their hours. Restaurants like this one, one that offers authentic Lao dishes and isn’t afraid to label itself and its menu as Lao, are the ones I wish to succeed the most and wish there were more of in places outside of Laos. I was smiling from ear to ear seeing all kinds of customers coming in, ordering the Lao-style of dishes, and seemingly pleased with their orders. This restaurant’s only been open 16 months at the time of my visit, and I hope that it gets all the love and attention it deserves very soon! I certainly can’t wait to check it out again the next time I’m in the area and wouldn’t even mind driving from my home, three and a half hours away, just to eat here!“

“Not only the food that really delicious. People who own restaurants are super nice, generous, considerate people. I ordered my food through DoorDash and somehow the order got messed up they sent me what I didn’t order. In the other day i ordered food through DoorDash again they end up sending me extra meal for what they mess up last time. I m so appreciative for what they did and make them one of my favorite restaurant.“

“I love you get to try small amounts of different rolls! I can still get a whole roll of the ones I love! Service is wonderful!“

“Pros: Most of the dishes are amazing. Try the spicy pork bun bowl, the beef pho and the watermelon boba tea. Cons: They need to clean up the service. The tables are usually dirty, the condiment bottles don't look like they've ever been cleaned and are absolutely disgusting and dirty and sticky to touch. The service is usually ok to poor, however in fairness Asian restaurants generally don't make good service a priority, and they don't try to break that mold here.“

“the staff were top notch and hilarious, the food was legitimately some of the best vietnamese food I have eaten in america and I have been to a lot or vietnamese restaurants in atlanta and chattanooga. if it was closer to me, I would eat there every week.“

“Vietnam Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat. We all love the pho. Spring rolls are amazing and so are the crab rangoons. Our last visit there must have been an ice shortage. LOL and there was some new servers so they weren't very attentive to us but we would go back every day if it were possible. Our kids even love Vietnam Cafe“

“The staff is very friendly and the food and drinks are delicious!“

“delicious Pho, friendly staff.“

“My new favorite place! So happy that beef pho was added to the menu, the ribeye was DELICIOUS in the pho. 🤤“

“Wow. The food was not only incredible but the service was the best I have ever had. They give you huge portions which is good because the food is so delicious you won't want to stop. My drink never got empty, the server was so kind and took such good care of us. The presentation of the food was so beautiful. How can food look so pretty and be so yummy? The inside is so pretty and relaxed. It was such a comfort place. Every time I come to kansas city I will be going there. I cannot express how incredible this place is.“

“I have been going to Vietnam 39 for years, since it was on 39th street, and I always have had a Great experience, the service & the food are Great!!!! I am so glad that they re-opened!💙“

“Best on KC, hands down . Great service . Everyone is so sweet there.“

“I love the banh mi. The pate made it very good! I like the bread that’s made in house too. I wanted to recognize that the cashier, I believe his name is “Sang,” is a keeper at the store. He’s very polite. I noticed how he treated customers with sincere respect. The food is good, but it’s also the people that I come in contact with that make the difference.“
