My wife, our 18-month-old niece, and I recently visited Broken Rice, and from the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a great experience. The restaurant was very nice--tastefully decorated with authentic touches that felt intentional and refined. The large canvas artwork added character without overwhelming the space. It struck a perfect balance: elegant but comfortable. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were patient and accommodating, especially with our little one, which always makes a difference when dining out with family. We started with the sampler platter, which included fresh spring rolls, crispy spring rolls, and a variety of other traditional bites. Everything was prepared well--the fresh rolls were vibrant and clean tasting, while the crispy rolls had a satisfying crunch without being greasy. For entrées, my wife ordered the Vietnamese pork chop with the perfectly runny egg over broken rice. The pork was well-seasoned and cooked just right, and that egg brought everything together beautifully. I ordered the Bánh Mì and a bowl of pho. The pho had the perfect level of spice--balanced, aromatic, and comforting. The broth had depth, and you could tell it was crafted with care. The Bánh Mì was equally impressive; the baguette was toasted just right--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--holding all the flavors together without overpowering them. What truly stands out is that Broken Rice delivers this level of quality without being overly expensive. It's a great value for authentic, well-executed Vietnamese cuisine. And most importantly--our niece enjoyed herself too, which says a lot. I would absolutely recommend Broken Rice to anyone looking for a satisfying, authentic dining experience in a warm and welcoming atmosphere read more

Broken Rice is one of the best pho spot in KC! The pho is absolutely delicious. The broth was tasty and full of flavor. When I first entered, I was immediately seated. It was packed on a Monday so you know it's good! The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and very aesthetic. My service was excellent! the server checked up on me. They both did a great job! 10/10. A must go to pho spot! read more

What a hidden gem! I've had a few people tell me about this place and I finally made a visit earlier this year. Since then, I've gone back two more times to verify my first impressions: It's awesome. The fried eggs rolls are crispy AF and do the job of getting your appetite going. The chicken wings are fantastic with the sweet, spicy and tanginess of it. The Com Thit, ugh, I could eat every week if I didn't live in south KC with the grilled sliced pork and that nuoc cham I just pour all over it. The flavors just sing in my mouth. The pho ga is comforting and really hits the spot too. I want to go back to try other things. The service is a little chaotic just from observation of how the restaurant workers interact with each other and the customers. Happy eating and remember: Don't deny, satisfy! read more

The food was outstanding. I got chicken pho, and it was actually better as leftovers the next day. 10/10, no notes. The staff was super slow with everything, which was a little weird as we came in for early dinner around 4 and were 2 of only 4 customers for a while. Our order wasn't taken for a while, then once our food came we didn't see a server again for... a while. The staff was kind and the ambiance was darling. I was a little disappointed they didn't tell me how checks work -- you go to the front, they don't drop a receipt or take your money at the table. All of this is fine, a heads up would have helped because by the time I realized how it worked, there was a takeout line and another 20 min before we could leave. There's a reason this place is popular though. My family really enjoyed the B4 and C11 menu items (I can't remember what they were exactly), and I was a fan of being able to add a lot of toppings to the pho myself, since I am a "light on the cilantro" type of queen. read more

Delicious spot if you are looking for some authentic Vietnamese food! Menu is extensive, but lots of good options to choose from. We started with the spring rolls which were fresh and can tell they were recently made. For our mains we couldn't pass up the roast duck woven rice special. Talk about a statement platter-kind of a build your own adventure! We also had the pork steak platter. Everything was delicious and highly recommend if stopping by. Final review: 5/5 stars read more

This was sooo good. Met a friend for lunch and catching up. Pure timing she was there as apparently it's one of her favorite places around, and I was close by running errands. Mind. Blowing. I got the beef short rib combination and it was incredible. The spicy oil/sauce it came with? Please bottle that, I need it at home. The staff was amazing with suggestions and walked me through the best options for a total newbie like me. Even during rush lunch hour, the wait was minimal. Highly recommend. (Sorry, my phone died so no pics this time, but I'll definitely be back to update with photos.) read more

Im so glad I finally tried broken rice. Their Vietnamese food is super authentic and I love the variety that they offer. I ordered the grilled pork with egg roll woven noodles and my fiancée ordered the grilled sliced pork plate with all the sides. Everything was so flavorful and the parking is super convenient. read more

Great experience at this hidden gem. I ordered the beef sampler because it was my first time and it offers a taste of everything they have to offer. The rice with egg on top was delicious and the spicy sauce on the side was perfect to pour on top. The beef was tender and flavorful. I can't wait to come back and get the duck sampler. read more

I was in the mood for pho and was excited to see that Broken Rice offered a seafood pho!! The seafood was very fresh!!The mussels were still on the half shell and the shrimp, calamari and fish balls were delicious! The restaurant is beautifully decorated, open and airy, and everyone especially the owner was so friendly! I had been here before and thought the food was good, but I thought the pho was amazing! I would definitely recommend read more

This place is so delicious. My second time coming back. Plus they let me sit on the scooter to take photo.

Delicious Food, Fun Atmosphere, Unique Menu We Ordered and shared everything, that is definitely the way to get the best experience. The Banh Tieu ( stuffed doughnut ) is more like a Runza, delicious pork inside a savory bread. There is one, so it can be shared, but also enjoyed by oneself. Banh Mi is delicious! We ripped it in half and loved it. I ordered the combo woven vermicelli and the pork and shrimp were delicious My friend ordered the Spicy beef soup ( with blood jelly ). I tied the jelly and it was good, but way too spicy ( I'm a wimp ) The Grilled Chicken with the Broken Rice was my second favorite ( the pork in the " doughnut " and with the vermicelli is #1 ). The TV's are set to random network broadcasts which are distracting... Food and service, 5 stars read more

I came here with the intention of trying their banh mi. As someone who used to live in Dallas, where Vietnamese food was plentiful, and as a Vietnamese person myself, my standards are pretty high when it comes to banh mi. Sadly, I'd say that the banh mi I received fell below my expectations. Not that it tasted bad - it actually tasted pretty good. My critique is that for the price, it was criminally small. For almost eight dollars, I expected a larger loaf (based on other Vietnamese restaurants I've visited in the past). Maybe it's inflation, but sadly, the days of $4 banh mi seem to be over, at least in KC. Secondly, the bread itself didn't seem quite right. When I eat a banh mi, I expect the bread to be airy, fluffy, soft on the interior, with a flaky, crackly crust exterior that crunches when you've bit into it. There's even a joke that when you eat banh mi, the roof of your mouth should feel like it's been scraped by the bread, and the amount of bread crumbs you drop because of the flaky/crackly crust should be noticeable. This bread felt less like a traditional Vietnamese style loaf, and more like a French baguette - the difference should not be missed! As for the fillings, that was fine - good amount of meat, and comes with the expected cilantro, cucumber, jalapenos, pate, and pickled daikon and carrots. I'm raising my review to 4 stars because of the pictures of the other dishes at this restaurant. It does look like the variety offered is decent, and everything looks well made and authentic. If I came back, I'd be willing to try the other dishes offered. In terms of take out service, not too bad. I think I waited 10-15 minutes for my banh mi. There's also plenty of seating inside if you choose to dine in. read more

I always have such a good experience here and always inhale the food too quickly and forget to post. Luckily, I was able to get some pictures of our delicious entrees this time! I love that Broken Rice has an amazing selection of Vietnamese street food. I got the sliced grilled pork combination with all the delicious fixin's . Definitely a deluxe broken rice dish! My sister got the roasted duck special and let me try a bit. It was so flavorful. The beautiful, fresh veggies on it were added freshness that brightened up the dish. Service was good and friendly. The atmosphere is good for family dining. Casual and fun. You can be alone or with a group. I can't wait to go back and try a few different dishes! read more

Grabbed dinner with friends on a Monday night. It was pretty empty, and we were seated immediately. My husband and I shared a short rib broken rice platter and the sliced pork bahn mi. The platter was just ok, but the bahn mi was incredible. The bread was fresh, the meat was well seasoned. If I went back, I'd stick with bahn mi! Service was kind. read more

Food was excellent! I had the duck salad and my husband had the duck soup. He asked for no bamboos because they aren't like the ones you have normally had. These are fermented and smelly.

There's a lot of Vietnamese food competition up north but this is the best. Great menu that goes beyond the basic pho and bun dishes. The service is great and ambiance is cozy and relaxed.

Literally one of my favorite pho places! The owner is always running and checking on everyone, the hospitality is amazing! I have to suggest the Rare Beef pho or the Beef stew. Both are always delicious and the sliced pork banh mi is always top tier! Always a great experience and my go to over any other pho or ramen place!! read more

Placed an order for delivery and the food was very quick to arrive. It was delicious, and I mean so so good. Their baguette bread is incredible, chicken wings we devoured, the veggie pho was amazing, all the veggies were super crisp and fresh, the eggrolls were crispy and not oily at all (which happens a lot in other restaurants unfortunately), and wow the grilled short rib broken rice plate was on another level. I am so so happy to have found this place, it is an instant favorite. Thank you! read more

I was in town for a conference and was craving Vietnamese food and who wouldn't thought this place would have me coming back for more! We came 2 days in a row. The pho was spectacular and the owner was so friendly. She was fast and efficient and food came out in a timely manner. I love how clean this place was and the atmosphere really felt like home. The food prices were inexpensive as entrees were only $10+. Ofcourse, I had to order 2 entrees. I really enjoyed the pho dac biet, the broth was tasty and so yummy on a cold day in KC. The banh mi was good as well as the spring rolls. You can't go wrong with that. I am still drooling thinking about the food! read more

Never disappointed when dining here, I pretty much get the sane things every time I dine in due to the food being so delicious! I come here so often everyone knows exactly what I'm going to order lol. I get the beef stew pho, and the short rib entree with a lavender lime aid. One of the best pho in Kansas City hands down. I've tried them all and they are all 10/10. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while! The restaurant has great seating. The staff are very nice and friendly. I tired their food for the first time today. They have pretty good Banh Mi - I think the grilled slide pork one is still my favorite! The soup noodle was great flavored but little bit salty. I wish they would have beef tendon as an option for the pho, otherwise it's pretty great! They have an interesting selection of the menu, one of them is the wooden plate noodle. I'd come back to try it for sure! read more

I got some chicken fried rice and it was horrible. The chicken was so tough it tasted like I imagine old ago leather would taste like. The rice wasn't even that good and no flavor at all. I also purchased 6 shrimp which were okay, but certainly nothing special. The terrible fried rice and six okay shrimp was 23.00 and change. I wouldn't go there again if they paid me! I don't know how they stay in business serving food like that? read more

Location: Gladstone. Little Saigon plaza. Ambiance: Nice place. Indoor seating. Family place. Food: we had duck and beef stew. Duck was ok, but nothing special. Beef stew was extraordinary. Highly recommended. Service: The best you can get. Emma, the owner, is the friendliest person that you can meet. We will be back. =] read more

This is one of the best meals I've ever had! I really had to think about that before saying it but it's really in the conversation of best things I've ever ate. The broth is on another level. It's packed full of flavor and the noodles and beef take on that flavor. If this dropped on the floor, I'd be right down there sipping it up with a straw! Our waitress was really awesome and I'm always impress with someone who can take 7 orders without writing them down. Everything came out just as ordered and everyone enjoyed their meal. Even the guy who instantly said this place odd going to be bad because it's Vietnamese food. He instantly said his sandwich was awesome. The place is super clean and they have a few TVs playing a Vietnamese cooking show. You will find yourself just watching the show and getting lost in it. I can't recommend this place enough. Definitely adding it to the rotation. read more

I am obsessed with the short rib rice dish from here! Every time I visit Kansas City, I make sure to pick food up from here. As insinuated in the name, the rice is fractured into smaller pieces that your normal rice. The short rib is always cooked to perfection, and I always make sure to lather my dish up with the fish sauce they provide. I got some for my boyfriend as well, and he was just as obsessed as I was. I would love to try their other dishes sometime, but when the one I always get is so good, it's hard to bring myself to order something else! The restaurant is very clean and open, and the decorations are just too cute. The service is efficient and not exactly the friendliest, but that's how you know that it's a good Vietnamese restaurant! read more

We were late discoverers of this place, having found it only about 2 months ago, but since then we've been back 6 or 7 times. Every single thing about Broken Rice is great: the atmosphere, the service, the prices, but most importantly, the food. The soft spring rolls are fresh and light, filled with sliced pork, shrimp, noodles, and herbs. Some of the best peanut sauce I've had is served alongside. It's sweet and spicy and topped with crushed peanuts for texture. The rare beef pho is outstanding. Very flavorful and comforting, not too strong or too weak, the right amount of noodles, just perfect. The banh mi is a superstar. The restaurant has a special oven that blasts the baguettes at high heat right before serving so the bread is crunchy and warm and tastes fresh-baked. I'm partial to the grilled pork version - the pork is crisp-chewy-tender with a hint of sweetness. The pickled veggies are crunchy and bright. I've had a lot of banh mis, and this one is the best. No joke. The restaurant itself is clean and cheerful, with a selfie-ready scene right inside the door highlighted by lanterns and a cute little scooter. The servers are always so warm and friendly, and the owner, Emma, is kind, thoughtful, and an excellent host. I cannot recommend Broken Rice highly enough. Get there fast, and you'll keep going back again and again. read more

I LOVE this place. It's a little pricey but honestly so worth it. The waitress was so kind to explain the options as I don't eat Vietnamese regularly. I've come back a few times and tried the lunch sandwiches as well as many apps and dinner plates. It's very good food with quality ingredients. The Thai iced tea is so good. Highly recommend. They aren't normally that busy, I hope they can stay in business. read more

Broken Rice Restaurant is a family owned Vietnamese restaurant. We stopped by there while we were visiting KC on the way from and to the airport. There are choices for vegetarians and we were very happy to receive the recommendations from our server. We started with tofu spring rolls & Soy milk with Pandan leave and Lavender Limeade. Fresh soy milk and fresh limeade. So refreshing! Woven noodles were very good, so fresh and tasty. We enjoyed so much. The place is decorated beautifully and gave a quiet and comfortable ambiance. We went back on the way to the airport to pick up Banh mi to take along. It sure was great! We will definitely go back! read more
