Hien Vuong Restaurant

This was my go to Vietnamese restaurant in Kansas City since the 90s. I visited in November and was not impressed. The prices were very expensive. She added an 18% tip to our party of two’s table. She is not friendly or welcoming whatsoever. I have found a new place that I love. A block to the east you will find Nguyen Pho. Their beef vermicelli bowl with egg roll is exactly what I was eating in Vietnam last year. It is delicious and perfect. And the service is excellent. Friendly and welcoming. And they don’t automatically add tips to every single table there. Go to Nguyen Pho.

We stopped in while at river market this weekend and enjoyed it. The people there are warm and helpful. It was quiet, quaint, and the food was good. When we needed containers, the lady there packed it all away and bagged it for us.

Located in City Market. The food was delish. It came out very hot as you can see from the pic (steaming). The only thing for me was the price. The price from the menu must not be accurate. Idk how my two dishes pictured was a $60 check.

My mom has been going to Hien Vuong for 27 years. It’s owned by the same people. I’m 21 years old, and we don’t live out here anymore. We drove the 5 hours back out to KC today and had to stop by. I loved it again like I always do. #2, #71, and #75 are menu staples for us because we’re pescatarians. Common complaints about this place are that the service isn’t peppy and they charge auto gratuity of a mere 15%. These people work hard and take pride in their food. It’s a pleasure to know them and their craft. I think people pass judgement on them sometimes because they don’t falsely inflate their mood for tips. If you’re looking at this review to figure out whether you want to go eat here- just go ahead and plug the address into your GPS. When you go up to pay, ask about the grandchildre

Unfortunately, probably one of the worst pho places I've had in the area. Portions are small and overpriced. My regular size bowl was small. Their large size pho is as big as a regular size at other pho places. A 3 eggroll appetizer was $8.99. Spent $60 on just 2 pho bowls and 2 appetizers. The elderly lady (probably owner) that took our order told us she is going to automatically add 15% tip on our order. Um, okay. First time here and most likely my last.
