My Xuyen replicates the home cooking and charm of an actual Vietnamese restaurant found in color of our home front, of our family home in Soc Trang Vietnam

My Xuyen translates to ``My Country`` in English. The owners Spencer and Sam Hardin have one foot in America and one foot remaining in Vietnam.

Sam grew up in Soc Trang , South Vietnam and left for America in 1975 during the communist takeover . Spencer is a Vietnam era veteran who served in the U S Navy. The Hardins are well equipped to bring authentic Vietnamese flavors to our friends here in Kansas City. The original receipe for Soc Trang Noodles used in Pho Tai and other dishes is made from ingredients kept within the family for generations and never duplicated.

The Hardin and Tran families invite you to enjoy our family's hospitality at ``our country`` ,My Xuyen Vietnamese Cafe.

Our Chefs have outstanding skills in food preparation and presentation

When you enter the front door of My Xuyen Vietnamese Café you will immediately become aware that this place is different from any other Vietnamese or Chinese Restaurant you have visited. The reception is warm and personal, like you would receive if you were a family member coming home. Repurposed furniture and Vietnamese artifacts surround you. The smells of ginger, hoisin, peppers, and soup entice you to try something as unique as the setting. We hope you make My Xuyen Vietnamese Restaurant your home restaurant, because you are always welcome home.

Vietnamese foods is distinct and extraordinary. The cooking relies on a balance of salty, sweet, sour and hot flavours, achieved through use of nuoc mam, a fermented fish sauce, cane sugar, the juice of kalamansi citrus fruit or tamarind and chilli peppers.

My Xuyen features Cafe Sua Da , a popular, iced Vietnamese coffee and cream drink made at the table. Available also is BoBa tea which can be made in several flavors. It is a smooth iced drink with tapioca jewels in the bottom of the glass. Of course hot teas and coffees are offered.
