Ipho Tower - Kansas City

During our 2-week vacation in Kansas City, we typically paid with my credit card. However, we used my wife's card at this particular restaurant and the next day we discovered a $200 charge for a wine purchase in the United Kingdom. It seems that our card was cloned at this restaurant. The food was inexpensive but not very good. Proceed with caution when using your credit card at this establishment!

We decided to take a break from barbecue and ended up at Pho Tower. The restaurant is cozy with a minimalist vibe. Their menu offers pho, vermicelli, and rice dishes, as well as a selection of appetizers. We ordered the spring rolls (which were very fresh), pho with brisket (the brisket was a little tough, but still tasty especially with the fresh herbs), and steak vermicelli (which was delicious). The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. Our waiter, who may have been the owner, was incredibly friendly and funny. The rest of the staff was also very welcoming.

We needed a break from all the BBQ and settled on Pho Tower. The place is small and has a very simple feel. Menu features pho, vermicelli and rice dishes along with a few appetizer staples. We got spring rolls (very fresh), pho with brisket (brisket was a bit chewy, but still good overall especially with fresh herbs )and steak vermicelli (very good). Very big portions and very reasonable prices. Not sure if our waiter was also the owner, but he was super funny and nice. The rest of the staff also seemed very friendly.

Service was quick. Waitress was nice and knowledgeable though she was a bit pushy trying to get us to pick the pork bahn mi. She was right though the pork was delicious. My fiance got the house bahn mi which had a selection of meats. My fiance agrees he would get the pork next time. We got the steamed dumplings for our app they were delicious though my fiance would like to try the fried ones next time. The pho was okay it wasn't my favorite pho but it wasn't bad.This will definitely not be replacing our favorite local Vietnamese place but we might go back again.I'm still a bit confused on where the French part of the name comes in it's a good pun but nothing felt French other then the decor. It is a darker space since it looks to be an old bar. Overall okay.

Absolutely phenomenal! I had the chicken pho, the chicken was super yummy, the noodles were perfect, and the broth was the best I’ve ever had. The broth was a little more on the gingery side, but was not over powering at all! We had the spring rolls to start, the peanut sauce was delicious, but not sure what the rubber texture was in with the lettuce, shrimp and carrots.
