Cafe Vie

Cafe Vie is a counter-service Korean-and-Vietnamese café at 10330 Metcalf Ave in Overland Park — pho, bún bowls and spring rolls on one side of the menu, jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, galbi and bibimbap on the other, with a boba-tea and Korean-bakery counter that gives the room its café feel. It has been on this stretch of Metcalf since the early 2010s and is open seven days for lunch and dinner.

Description

Cafe Vie sits in a strip storefront on the west side of Metcalf just south of 103rd Street, in the older commercial belt of Overland Park between the Metcalf South site and the I-435 interchange.¹² The official site describes the concept in one sentence: “At Cafe Vie in Overland Park, we bring together the bold, savory comfort of Korean favorites with the fragrant, slow-simmered flavors of Vietnamese cooking.”¹ Visit Overland Park’s directory files it under “Fusion / International” and lists sushi appetizers and boba tea alongside the Korean and Vietnamese dishes.²

The menu as the site presents it runs to Korean-Chinese staples — ja jang myun (black-bean noodles), tangsuyuk (sweet-and-sour pork) — plus galbi, bibimbap and Korean fried-chicken wings, and on the Vietnamese side pho, bún (vermicelli) bowls, rice platters and fresh spring rolls; boba teas anchor the drinks list.¹ Third-party menu mirrors add steamed buns (pork, red bean, vegetable), gimbap and fried dumplings at single-digit prices, consistent with a fast-casual price point, but those mirrors are not first-party and are not relied on here.¹

Service is counter-and-kiosk: orders go in at the front, food comes out on trays, and the room doubles as a boba and coffee stop — Visit Overland Park and coffee-directory listings both classify it as a café as much as a restaurant.² The site advertises job applications in English and Spanish and a downloadable ordering app, and its footer carries a 2026 copyright, which together with an active Yelp listing (386 reviews as of August 2026) confirms the business is operating.¹³

Ownership and history

Public sourcing on Cafe Vie’s owners is thin. The official site names no proprietor; the contact address it publishes, orientalkansas@gmail.com, is the only ownership trace in the record.¹² Directory listings give an establishment year of 2010, and the restaurant’s Tripadvisor and Yelp identifiers date from the 2012 era, so an opening in the early 2010s is consistent across sources — but no first-party statement or press item confirms the date.² No Kansas City press coverage (KC Star, The Pitch, Johnson County Post, KC Magazine) of the café was found in a genuine search; this is a neighborhood regular rather than a reviewed restaurant.
