Great little local dive, with authentic Vietnamese food. Nothing fancy, but the food is always delicious!

First things first, the food here is very good. Large serving size and great flavors across the board. I had the yellow curry tofu, and I was pretty taken aback how good it tasted. Tofu is hard to get right and the curry sauce was the perfect spice level. Interior/Decor is very casual, and they are always busy so come prepared to wait for dine in! The family that runs this place is always very kind and attentive as well. I'm excited to see Vietnam Kitchen blossom. read more

Not the best looking from the outside. But they are authentic and busy during lunch hours. The slow drip Vietnamese coffee really strong. This place only has one size bowl for all. The aroma bowl of pho tastes just like how it looks. The service was fast. Really enjoyed a bowl of soup on a cold day. Also ordered banh xeo to go and it was delicious. read more

Vietnam Kitchen is a Louisville institution. If you haven't been, it is hidden in the back of the Iroquois Manor shopping center. There's plenty of parking, and it's also near the bus line (4). When you enter, you'll be greeted. I have called several orders in over the years, but I really enjoy dining in. Service is always pretty quick (my pho came out very quickly last night). There are many great options on the menu. I love getting an avocado milkshake with boba as a treat, and I usually get it with pho. But really, there are no wrong answers here. I love this place. read more

Vietnam Kitchen - B1. Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We've been fans for years! The food is fresh, and tasty. It is a small establishment so you can feel a bit crowded but I always thought the food was worth it. Visiting lately it doesn't feel the same and the lemongrass isn't as special as it used to be to me. Now it's still delicious but the egg roll isn't giving the same crisp and the fish sauce isn't giving that marinated in wonder flavor it used to. Not to mention the pricing has really risen. I hope it comes alive again soon! read more

I was too full to really explore the menu, might have been a 5* if I'd ordered something more unusual. That said, the salad rolls were as good as I've had anywhere, as was the variant with fresh-grilled beef. read more

The food was really on point the other night! We stopped by for a later dinner (8 pm) and were surprised there wasn't a line out the door on a Friday night! We were seated immediately and started perusing the menu. It's been a while since we have been there but I think the menu might have been slightly condensed. While seated, I noticed several specials on the table under the glass. We decided to branch out and tried the jicama spring rolls and cucumber salad. The spring rolls were delicious, slightly crunchy from the jicama and with some Chinese pork and egg wrapped in rice paper. It's a must try! The cucumbers were also very good - slightly spicy and refreshing. For the main entree we both ordered the Vermicelli bowls with lemongrass pork and egg roll. The flavors were sweet and spicy and we devoured our meals. It's so sad that it's closing but would highly recommend you stop by! read more

Imo the best Vietnamese food in Louisville. The place as plenty of parking and the service was fast and attentive. Plenty of seating. Very much an Asian place so you no the food is good but the service is what you'd expect lol. Got the pho, the broth was so clean and flavorful, meat was thin and tender, noodles cooked well and the sides to add to your soup fresh. Very happy with my bowl of pho. Also got the fried spring roll which was crispy and delicious. Definitely recommend this place, food is good and would definitely be back. read more

What a little gem in Louisville. Read the reviews and they were all great and I 100% agree. Broth was extremely flavorful and service was fast and extremely thorough. The noodles were a tad overcooked but how good the broth was I don't think I cared that much. With how busy this place was it's clearly a staple of the community. read more

This place is phenomenal. It was the first place I tried Vietnamese food and now I can't get enough. I ask the waitress what I should get and she helped me pick a meal. I can't remember the name of it but it had spicy beef and broccoli with white rice. I also got the fresh shrimp spring roll. Yummy. So if you haven't tried been scared to try Vietnamese food don't it is fabulous. read more

Love, love, love Vietnam Kitchen! I could eat in or take out, either way. Great service and great food, every time!

Food is absolutely delicious, I would highly recommend, Fresh cooked as you order, good portions!!! read more

We were visiting from out of state and hoping for authentic Vietnamese food but this is not it. We ordered pho ga, wonton noodle soup and bun bo hue. The meat in the bun bo hue is not fresh so it had a smell to it. The broth for the wonton noodle soup was not it. Didnt have a rich pork broth taste and the wontons were not flavorful. Service was good however. Just definitely very disappointing as the owners are viet. We felt like the dishes are definitely Americanized quite a bit. We also saw lots of flies above our head so definitely something to take note of. read more

1. It's not original Vietnamese foods. 2. I'm a chef from Beverly Hills California employed in a 5 stars 5 diamonds restaurant. 3. Ordered G9 Com Suon dac biet big plate horrible portions pork chop precooked and heat warm to served. No nem nuong some cheap meat cake, shrimps not devein it's like from Walmart frozen cooked small shrimps. Egg supposedly baked egg instead given regular fried egg. Pickle lettuce and 3 tomatoes slices, one slice was rotten frozen or been left out too long. Overall the meat is dried due to not cooking it fresh. Ask the waitress about the meat being dried she stated the chef makes mistakes. And I know that's how you all served your foods. Precooked and leftovers. 4. My daughter order Pho Tai both is like powder base not original favor from parboiling process. 5. Sorry for honest reviews only the real chef knows the flavor of foods... read more

No complaints -- friendly service, exotic dishes, great hole-in-the-wall local business. No reason not to go and explore Vietnam's cuisine.

The food is delicious, and the portions are great! I think it is the best pho in Louisville!

Always wonderful meal. I've never gotten a bad dish here. Black eye pea pudding is great also. read more

An old and established Vietnamese kitchen. The service is great, the ambiance is... well it's kinda different, LOL. But it's nice. The reason you come here is the food, and it's a home run! I've had dozen of different dishes and I've never been disappointed. Make sure to look on the table under the glass for daily or weekly offerings. read more

Convenient & quick option for some pho/ other Vietnamese dishes! Some of the best Vietnamese you'll find in the area.

I'm normally not a big fan of pho, but I had heard that Vietnam Kitchen is the best and most authentic pho and I need to have pho there before making a verdict. I'm glad I did, because I actually really enjoyed the pho at Vietnam Kitchen, and that alone gives it 5 stars in my book. I ordered dumplings and pho with beef and meatballs. The food was great. The dumplings were a great appetizer and tasted very delicious. The pho was really good. I normally don't like pho because it feels oily and fatty. However, the pho here tasted very clean and it allowed me to enjoy all the flavors in the noodle soup. This is the first place that I have enjoyed the pho and it has opened me up to give other places more chances. The environment was nice as well. It's got ample seating that initially looked crowded, but is actually not. The servers and staff were all very friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable there and the environment just added to the enjoyable experience. I'd like to come back and try some of the other items in the menu, but if only for the good, clean pho that I really enjoyed, Vietnam Kitchen is a 5-star place in my books! read more

Everything is great! My favorite restaurant in Louisville! I have been eating here since they opened, and several decades of friendly service and delicious food has not stopped me from loving it! Try the bun or the green beans with meat or tofu. Healthy and addictive! cafe sua day is my drink of choice! read more

The food is amazing!!! Service was great, only 2-3 servers taking care of a full house but the food came out quick, drinks were refilled without issue, all employees were so nice and happily explained items on the menu. I have been to many pho places here and this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Louisville! My only recommendation is to have fish sauce at the table with the other condiments. read more

This is one of my most favorite places in Louisville and I've been coming here over and over again for years. It's a wonderful family-owned restaurants and the owner is also so sweet every time I visit. I love pretty much all of their dishes and you really can't go wrong. Specifically, I recommend the J4 with combo of mock duck and chicken. So so so good read more

I love the VK! I wish I lived closer but I gladly make the trip for this amazing food. I have never once had anything bad on this menu.

It was my first time eating here so I was a little anxious, especially since this restaurant is known to be quite popular. Walking in, it was very crowded. But, to my surprise, we were seated very quickly and had our waters within a couple of minutes. The staff was welcoming and fast, diligently working to make sure everyone got their orders in. They were very attentive and the food was served fast despite the amount of people. We ordered beef spring rolls, combination fried rice, and yellow curry. The yellow curry was the most delicious dish as it was more flavorful then the fried rice. The fried rice was still good, just a little bland. I would have liked a little more flavor. The beef spring rolls were a lot bigger than expected and very filling. The sauce that comes with it is very good albeit a little runny. I would suggest first letting the spring rolls soak in the sauce to get the most flavor out of it. Overall, I would recommend Vietnam Kitchen to anyone who is looking for good food at a reasonable price. They will definitely see us again!

Great food at a little hole in the wall. Service was fast and efficient. We had the spring rolls which were fresh with some fantastic pork. The Bun was also killer. read more

The food & service are amazing there, been eating their Pho for years and still good! Avocado Shake is a must!!! Other foods are equally delicious!!! The environment is mellow. read more

Still one of my fave spots! We had pork dumplings (a must) and pork egg rolls. Both awesome. Then we had the K8 with beef and the E7 pineapple curry with chicken. Was absolutely DELICIOUS! We ate it so fast I didn't get a chance to snag a pic of it. DONT FORGET TO REQUEST YOUR SPICE LEVEL PEOPLE!! They are listed on the menu but you can ask them to reduce/amp up the spice. My preferred is a 2. Just spicy enough without destroying me! Haha. I've never stayed for dessert but we decided to try a pudding- pictured (not listed on the menu. This was a new one). It was like a sweet rice pudding with coconut milk and banana. 0/10 for looks 9/10 for taste! We also got the Q5 dessert which would be fantastic on the go on a hot day. I'll be back again to try more menu items soon! read more

I don't know why it took me so long to eat here! I should have been coming here since the first time I heard about it. Ample parking since it's located in a strip mall, plenty of seating, clean & well stocked tables. We were seated as soon as we walked in, was provided menus & they got our drinks order as well, my parents got a Diet coke (can only) but provided a glass with ice and a sweet tea. I got the green tea hot, was in a metal pot that they left on the table and provided a mug. The menu has description of each items, some pictures are on there & each dish is numbered for easy ordering to avoid the awkward mispronunciation of the items. They can provide you a picture menu with the corresponding number to match the dishes if you ask. I got the J7. Vermicelli noodle salad with chicken, along with a tofu spring roll as an appetizer. Parents got the B1. Pho with beef asked for extra spicy & F3. White rice & chicken spicy. The spring came out with 2 rolls with a side of the sauce. The rolls were great but adding the sauce just elevated refreshing crisp roll. Our food came out shortly and they won't play around with portions. They provide a sauce with my noodle salad which was a nice sweet mix to fresh veggies chopped up egg roll and seasoned chicken. There was lettuce, sprouts, cucumbers, carrots, rice noodles, onion or radish. So delicious, I ate it all there. My parents both liked there dish only had a small portion for leftovers over. A friend was raving about the avocado smoothie so we got 2 to go with boba and OMG so creamy & fresh the boba gave it some sweetness. Had the best time and delicious meal. We will be back more often! read more
