    Pho Beef
    Danny N.

    Vui's Kitchen is a nice, casual spot for pho in Franklin. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table, which keeps things quick and simple. The pho is decent. Not the best ever but not scary for those who haven't been to a hole in the wall Vietnamese restaurant. It's clean, friendly, and easy for anyone new to Vietnamese food. Overall, a solid choice for a quick, light meal.

    Big Vui's fan here, first time at this location! Came to pick up pho for my partner and I when a bit under the weather and it was still hot when arriving home. Great service, fabulous quality, fair prices. I also think it's a great spot to meet up and dine in - very calm environment with a minimalist clean aesthetic.

    Dry as a bone pad thai

    Really, really bad, no flavor. Pad thai had no sauce, just dry noodles. I am so disappointed I wasted $25.

    I like this place . The food is fantastic ! Fresh and healthy .. good reset after the holidays . The employees are friendly and helpful . Bathrooms clean . I like that they have kombucha made locally in Nashville . I get the vegan options and they are good . Portion sizes are big . I like the appetizers .

    This is how Pork Belly Banh Mi was served. That little plastic container is the slaw. ‍ Ordered cucumber salad for additional fee.

    Yup I don't get it?! People rave about the place and it's just okay. I will say this review is not a reflection of the staff who are really nice and get 4 stars! I wanted to give this place another try but it was disappointing. No Their floor gets a 1 star. Went during lunch and it was sticky and gross. Like your foot got stuck as you walked. The trash was overflowing. The place itself has a lot of seating but tables are so close together, you are in other people's conversations. The food was just okay. More of an Americanized take on Vietnamese food. I gave the fresh Summer Rolls (shrimp) another try and completely bland. Even the sauce was meh. Same as my first experience I had here. My S.O. had the regular Pho (beef) and his broth tasted like dish soap water. It did have lots of ingredients and he ended up having to put a lot of spices to eat it. He actually left all the broth in the end. Pork Belly Bahn Mi was okay, bread wasn't as good as other places. Fully loaded almost a little too much. Pork belly was good but way too much pate. The whole point is for the flavors to blend and pate overpowered it all. The slaw was good but the portion size was like a taster. Of the whole meal, the cucumber salad was the only memorable item. In the future, probably making the drive out of Franklin for Vietnamese food.

    Pho

    Service was really good, I loved how the dish looked. Place was clean and had good amount of seating. I ordered a Pho and it was not my favorite but maybe because I'm just not a big soup person, I'll try something different next time!

    Beef pho
    Lillian K.

    I really enjoyed the pho here! I've had the Beef Pho and the portion is smaller than what I'm used to, but felt like a refreshing meal for one person. The local kombucha they serve is Walker Brothers. Blueberry Jasmine and Cucumber Melon are a new favorite! Overall vibe was nice and the restaurant was extremely clean. Staff was super friendly. I personally don't think I'd buy pho here in the future because of the serving size, but am excited to go back and try different dishes.

    While vacationing we were looking for something light and came across this little gem. All of the dishes were refreshing and very flavorful. It was just what we where hoping for. The food was delicious but the highlight was the level of customer service we received from Oscar. He was so sweet, engaging, and more than helpful in making recommendations for things for us to do during our visit. We will be back soon.

    Vegan pho, edamame dumplings, tofu Bao buns
    Zaven S.

    Great food and great service. I always get the vegan pho, edamame dumplings and tofu Bao buns, mix up a little soy sauce and chili oil and add that on top for extra flavor and spice.

    Chicken bowl with noodle. With chili lime sauce & peanut sauce.

    This is a spin on Vietnamese food... not authentic. The Pho broth has a flat flavor - not savory like it was cooked from heavy bone stock.

    Does anyone know how they handle allergies? I have a peanut/tree nut allergy, and I know they have menu items with nuts. I'd love to try it if it's safe!

    That would be an answer I would only call and ask the manager. I can't see a consumer giving you accurate information, even with the best of intentions. Even a worker might not understand cross contamination. My dish had crushed peanuts.

If you are unfamiliar with this chain, think Chipotle for pasta, but it is not made in front of you. They have a bit of prepared pastas, but you can also create your own. Noodles and Company is a quick serve spot that serves purpose when the regular rotation of week night dinners runs a bit stale. The location itself needs some TLC as it is worn from ripped and torn seating, cabinet doors falling off of the drink station, stained ceiling tiles and dirty floors. The place needs some conditional love. Cleanliness was decent throughout with the exception of filthy entry windows and doors. Food wise I went with the Pesto Cavatappi and a side of garlic bread to go. Portions could be a bit larger, but that is why I added the garlic cheese bread. Pasta's are priced as is then there is an additional charge for protein. Your average pasta with protein will run you around $12. I enjoyed the pesto pasta and the chicken was lightly breaded and portioned well for the pasta. The garlic bread was a bit soggy and the cheese came off with one bite, and not in the cool "cheese pull" kind of way. Service was "meh". They were on their phones watching videos loudly while customers waited to be noticed at the counter. Overall, Noodles and Company is just okay. Definitely has potential to be added to a quick and easy weeknight dinner rotation, but they need to make a few adjustments.

From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. The first thing that stood out was their small plate concept, and I absolutely loved it. I enjoy trying a variety of dishes instead of committing to just one entrée, and this concept is something I wish more restaurants would adopt. We ended up trying almost half the menu and loved nearly every dish. A huge shout-out to our server, Nestor. He welcomed us warmly, was cheerful throughout the evening, and his recommendations were spot on. He truly made the dinner even more enjoyable. We started with a couple of mocktails, and the Purple Haze was refreshing and delicious. Here are some of our favorites: MI Cucumber - Smashed cucumber with soy dressing, crunchy chili oil, and cilantro. Simple, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Plantain - Fried plantains topped with sriracha goat cheese, cilantro, and crunchy gremolata. The sriracha goat cheese paired perfectly with the sweet plantains. K-Pop Chicken - Korean sweet and spicy popcorn chicken with great flavor and a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Dumplings - Homemade steamed dumplings with edamame, truffle, yuzu ponzu, and garlic confit. I really enjoyed the truffle flavor, though it may not be for everyone. Kimchi Bacon Risotto - Caramelized kimchi, applewood smoked bacon, tomato, and shrimp. One of the best dishes of the night--perfectly cooked with incredible flavor. Crispy Spicy Tuna - Spicy mayo tuna served over crispy rice. This was one of the highlights of the meal. The crispy rice was absolutely perfect. Cauliflower Taco - Crispy cauliflower with guacamole, creamy miso, and tsiran spice. The filling was flavorful, and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. Lamb Chops - This was the only dish that felt average. The lamb was cooked well, but it was missing a bit of flavor. A little more seasoning, especially some salt, would have really elevated the dish. To finish the meal, we had the Banana Pudding with Vanilla Gelato, which was a delicious and satisfying way to end dinner. Overall, MI Kitchen completely exceeded our expectations. Amazing food, a fun small-plate concept, and outstanding service from Nestor made this a memorable experience. We'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu!

The spring roll was delicious too, full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. And the tacos... you cannot skip them. The beef tacos are incredible, and the cauliflower tacos are just as good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. On top of the fantastic food, the service is always great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend!! Be sure to make a reservation!

This fit our time budget just fine as we had about 3.5 hours before our flight departs.

My lovely lady and I decided to go with the custom hot pot option where you grab a large bowl, go to the custom bar and choose the items that you want them to cook in your hot pot. They weigh all the stuff together and charge $14.99 per pound. We originally choose the House Spicy broth, but my beautiful partner asked the lady how spicy was the broth, and she did say it was actually spicy; so she asked them to downgrade my broth to the Sour and Spicy broth, as it was more mild. I'm so glad she did, as my broth still seemed quite spicy, especially the red chili oil floating at the top. I'm not sure how she was able to deal with the House Spicy level, but she was able to power through it. The sauce station was quite limited, without any sweet options to mix with the spicy oil and scallions. Overall, this place is ok for Tennessee. I feel like we are spoiled coming from the Los Angeles area where we have access to so many options with super fresh ingredients.
