In Nashville for a business trip and stopped here based on multiple local recommendations. We ordered different banh mi sandwiches, including pork belly and the fried egg. Both were very good and well prepared. Also tried the pho and the broth was very flavorful. Staff is friendly, the food was all correct and came out in a short amount of time. Seating is limited inside, but there is a lot of seating outside as well. Parking is difficult. There is a gravel lot, but it fills up fast at lunchtime. We would up getting blocked in by someone who double parked, so be aware. read more

I go to Vu's Kitchen all the time. The pork belly bahn mi sandwich is my favorite. I also love the beef pho. And we always get shrimp summer rolls to share. I can't say enough good things about this place. And they welcome my dog outside. Simply awesome! read more

The customer service was great. The staff was very friendly and kind. The place itself was clean. There were plenty of tables available for seating. The food tastes great. Although it was more of a fusion style restaurant, the food still tasted great. Prices were fair, but definitely not the cheapest. All in all, this place is worth a shot. I will come here again in the future. read more

Definitely wanted to come back , this place is amazing the food is spectacular . The atmosphere is buzzing. I would very highly recommend anybody to try this place read more

Vui's Kitchen - Great ADA access! - Vegan Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The quality just isn't the same anymore! this place used to be incredibl. i would rave about it. it's subpar now. portions are the same but the chicken on the noodle bowls lacks flavor and is not the same. tastes like chemical now..very dry chicken and the thigh anymore read more

Ordered bone broth and pork belly banh mi sandwich. I had their bone broth at Taste of Nashville which led us to their main restaurant. My wife had a rice bowl with lemongrass beef. The bone broth is a spiritual experience in itself. It's the Vietnamese equivalent of chicken noodle soup - straight to the soul. Everything tastes fresh. I'll be back. read more

Having moved here from Seattle I was missing some really fresh yummy Vietnamese food- Vui's is it. Transports me back. Also feels so clean and healthy to eat! I love that they have the recipes up on the wall. read more

Absolutely spectacular! I cannot say enough good things about this place, I've been waiting three months to go after I saw it across from Baja Burrito but it was absolutely worth the wait and -- they have now have got a weekly customer for life. I shall call it "Vui's Cure for the Monday Blues." Yes, I did go on Tuesday but I mean... next week. ANYWAYS! As usual when I'm too excited to order I ask the cashier/waiter to help me figure it out. I wanted to get the Banh Mi - everyone and their mom says it's the best in the city - but I wanted to cut out the bread (mama is going to Puerto Rico in a week - can't be having a carb belly bump). The cashier (you order at the counter) told me I could basically have a custom Banh Mi Bowl with noodles - I don't know if that's just normal but it did make me feel special. I got that bowl, and herbal tea (made in house!) and sat down with my friend. The atmosphere was cool, calming and very clean. Oh! And smiles all around from the delicious food I was about to undoubtedly devour. The food came out in about 10 minutes and I am so sad I didn't take any pictures! I was greeted with a beautiful display of the fresh veggies, the AMAZING looking marinated lemon grass chicken and little dishes to put on my noodle bowl. All for about $13.00. I would eat that meal for the rest of my life - the enigmatic flavors, the look and the ridiculously courteous and knowledge staff makes this place my new favorite. Way to go, Berry Hill. Way to go! Seriously... this American thanks you. See you next Monday! read more

Vui's is a great neighborhood Vietnamese spot. It's cozy, they have a good menu and the food always comes fairly quickly. You order at the counter, sit at an open table and they bring you your food. They also have a small bar inside and you can order beer, wine or sake. As far as the food, it's always fresh. My favorites are Pork Belly Bao Bun, Summer Rolls, Any of the noodle bowls - I have tried them all (pork, tofu, etc), and the Original Banh Mi sandwich. If you are in the mood for Vietnamese food, this is your spot. read more

No taste at all in the chicken pho soup. Prices way too high. I would not suggest this place at all. Food just not good. Was hoping for better product since I am a huge fan of pho soup read more

Vui's Kitchen is one of my favorite spots! The food is always, always great weather you're eating in or ordering it's fantastic. They never take forever to serve you. The staff is super friendly, the outside area is relaxing and cool. I've sent many of friends here as well and everyone has two solid thumbs up after! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I really appreciated their menu and how trendy this place seemed to be. However, we were met with some unfriendly workers. We sat at our very low quality table that was on the verge of falling apart. The freshness and quality of the food was good but, the flavor was a huge miss. My boyfriend and I eat pho in Michigan at least once a week so, we were disappointed to end our vacation with this meal. read more

This place is the best! Reminds me of a place I went to all the time while living in San Francisco, which has legit Vietnamese food. Food is so flavorful and restaurant has a cool atmosphere. Go to Vui's, you will love it! read more

Vui's Kitchen - Beef pho, beef banh mi - Vegan Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I have never left a review for a restaurant on Yelp before, but I feel it necessary to about my experience today. Vui's used to be my go to pho restaurant. More recently I have ordered pho from various other restaurants around town and it's always been delicious. I decided to order from Vui's today since it has been a while. Extremely disappointed. The portion was tiny and the meat, instead of being thinly sliced, tender, and raw was at the bottom of the bowl already cooked very chewy and cut into strips. I won't be ordering pho from here again. read more

For all my upcoming complaints, Vui's Kitchen does serve good food. My main problem is that it is priced like its going to be the best Vietnamese I've ever had. I ordered the tofu Banh mi w/o mayo for 9$, and while it was a decent size I found it pretty light on anything but the tofu patty which ended up making a lot of bites a bit bland. Half of the usual cilantro (which is my favorite part) was replaced with arugula. My friend had the Pho which I got to try; it had the right flavor, pretty good. However, there didn't seem to be much there hiding under the broth which is astounding for an 11$ Pho. Additionally all of the ingredients were served already placed in the broth, which seemed a bit odd to me. After all that, I still think the food here at Vui's Kitchen is good. But it's hard not to nitpick with the hit to the wallet. read more

Love the food, love the atmosphere. Would like some additional drink options, even just carbonated water, but it won't hurt their review score...just an observation from me. read more

The Pho is average. Broth had too much black pepper in it. Wasn't hot when served, and the meat quality was average, not sure what cut that was, Usually a better cut is served, especially since the portion of meat was small. Apparently it's self order, you need to walk in to order. A tipped a few bucks in the tip jar for an $11 bowl of pho. The waiter standing there could have said thank you (I would), since most people probably don't tip while ordering themselves. All of the ingredients come in the soup already, unlike most pho restaurants where you add them yourself. read more

We are lucky to have this great place. I have been meaning to try it for months and finally decided to support them during the pandemic. The chicken pho is awesome and the broth is so good and comforting. The spring rolls are great and they always follow my request to not add cilantro to anything on my order. You should try this place now and you will be back soon!!! The owner is full of energy and very nice, she stopped by to check on me while I was waiting in one of the curbside pickup locations with a big smile. read more

Holy crap is this good! My mum and I both ordered the noodle bowl (chicken and pork) and it was absolutely phenomenal. It had all the right favors and the amount of sauce they give you is just right. The only suggestion I would make is to cut the pork belly into bite-size pieces; I was given two large slabs of pork belly and it was a bit awkward to eat with just chopsticks. The coconut pudding is also a great way to end the meal; it wasn't too sweet and was equally as delicious. Just keep an eye on the tablet that what you want is actually keyed in. We ordered the spring rolls and they did not make it onto the ticket. Other than that every thing is great! read more

Before our evening movie at Regal, we stopped in for a quick bite to eat. I think Anna S. summed it best in her review.... If you are trying to compare this place to the authentic Miss Saigon, Kien Giang, you are going to be disappointed. This place has potential and is a great addition to the Nashville scene but I won't be back in the foreseeable future. Our whole party each ordered the pho. It came in a large bowl with broth, all the ingredients inside. Thankfully, I didn't think it was full of sodium as I didn't feel bloated after my meal. However, there was minimal flavor to the broth that I added tons of Sriracha and Hoisin sauce. There was some sliced beef but not enough to compliment the amount of noodles. Seating: Tables are tightly packed in so if you've got a coat or backpack, it can be difficult to navigate the tables but everyone is friendly and willing to help you out.... feels like Southern hospitality. read more

I came here cuz it's a Tuesday and all the good pho places I frequent are closed. The experience was just okay. Let me start by saying this is not authentic pho. I mean they literally put the basil, bean sprouts, jalapeños in for you... you don't know how much basil I want or can handle... I like the ambience although I find the place rather small (it also got pretty full really quickly. There's barely any space between the chairs so good luck not bumping into someone as they're eating.) The service is great. They're very attentive, polite and quick. The portions are small, so don't come hungry. The actual pho is a little too dark for my liking and a little bland. But that could be cuz someone else garnished it instead of me. It's not bad pho. It's just not worth the $11 they're charging you. Would I go back again? Eh prob not unless the other pho places are closed ... like today. read more

First pho I've ever had, and it was super good!! I got the chicken one, along with some dumplings, and it all came out in good time. The bowl is huge, so it was super filling and a good portion. The only thing was I did have to add a bit of extra sauces and stuff for more flavor, and I was left wishing for more chicken, but other than that, it was extremely yummy. :) read more

For me, it's just okay. Granted I am a vegetarian. My friends love the lemongrass beef and pho. Their tofu is good and so is the vegan pho, but other than that's it's a very small menu and kind of pricey for what you get. I've found that the food trucks and "mom and pop" places around town offer better food and more for your money! read more

Dropped in for the pho. It's very cramped, that day it was raining, so I ended up sharing a table with a stranger. The pho was good!

Whenever we don't feel like cooking, Vui's is always our go-to spot. Love the rice bowls!

I have always loved Vietnamese food, but have generally always had in the hole-in-the-wall establishments or hipster restaurants that incorporated one or two items into their menu. Vui's Kitchen was a whole new experience, in this regard. The atmosphere is bright, clean, and modern. You order at the counter and pay on an iPad, giving it almost a juice bar type vibe. Seating inside is limited, but they also have a covered outdoor seating area with heat lamps. The staff are also very friendly. My only complaint would be that the atmosphere is a less authentic than you would have at your normal, family-owned Vietnamese restaurant (though, I have no idea who owns Vui's Kitchen, so it very well could be a Vietnamese family). The summer rolls are refreshing, but certainly not enough to fill you up. I also had the Banh Mi sandwich with pork belly, which I thought was delicious. It can be messy to eat, so I don't necessarily suggest it on a first date, though! Overall, this is a great place for those who have not had Vietnamese before and need a place to try out the flavors. read more

My first time trying pho! Blew my mind!! Incredible flavor. Umami, bright flavors, subtle flavors, freshness... all in one bowl. I need to try everything on the menu... twice at least. What a great restaurant. I'm jealous that it isn't closer to my home!! I might never cook again! read more

Really enjoyed my first trip to Vui's at the end of the lunch rush (1ish) on a Saturday. The space is a bit small, and standing in a line of more than 3 people backs you into the entrance, but they do a decent job of moving folks along. I'd say it'd be worth adding another POS to help, but the space is definitely too small for that. Any pains with ordering aside, the food was delicious. My wife enjoyed her rice bowl with lemongrass chicken, and my banh mi was awfully tasty, if not the most traditional one I've had. I'll definitely be back to try the summer rolls and noodle bowl. read more

It's takes a special person to take some of the best street food in the world and out their spin on it to make it the worst food in Nashville. $50 spent would have gladly spent $9 and still been disappointed. But hey my dog hated it too read more

Delicious food with fresh ingredients. Passion is oozing out of this establishment and it has made its way into the food. My only complaint would be that I wasn't a huge fan of the Pho broth. It seemed more watery and less rich compared to the Vietnamese restaurant on Charlotte. Prom sandwich and the rice bowl were delicious. Great food for a great price. You won't leave disappointed. read more

I gave this place a 4.5, my friend gave it a 3.5, so I averaged it to 4. Ambiance- sat outside. was a nice day. Cute. Food- tasty. Simple. Fresh Vietnamese and not traditional for sure. Portions are a healthy serving size but expect to have no leftovers as is common with normal restaurant serving sizes. I can tell they want to give a gourmet touch despite the order at the cashier set up, but the price isn't worth it. Plus I asked for jalapeños on my noodles it wasn't there. Never theless my noodle bowl was very yummy with the vegan dressing ( that's where the magic was) and the lemon grass tofu was one of the best tofu I have had in a while. Friend got chicken rice bowl. They said it was decent and tasty. Either way, the price is definitely a bit higher than anyone would've liked. I would charge $7 rather than $8.50 for each, but that's just me. read more

The bahn mi at Vuis is what dreams are made of. This place is unbelievable. I would drive the eight hours from Detroit to Nashville to eat here every single day of my life if money was no option. read more

Great food and good prices. I really like the Chicken Bahn Mi, Dumplings, and Bao Buns. The service was good too. I will definitely go again. read more

Excellent fusion take on Vietnamese food. It's literally and figuratively nashville meats Vietnam

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Nashville. Vui's palette is delightful. The food is light, but filling and very flavorful. My favorite dish is the vegetable pho with bone broth. I like the vegan broth, too, but the bone broth here is EXCEPTIONAL and I always make the exception because I truly feel like this broth does good things for my body when I eat it. True vegetarians, please don't kill me. Xoxo read more

I heard my friends rave about how good this place is for several months now and was looking forward to having another place to have pho. I would say I am a highly proficient pho eater having grown up eating it all of my life. So, in my humble opinion, I know a good bowl of pho when I'm eating it, and I usually judge a Vietnamese restaurant by how good its pho is. I'm sorry to say that the pho at Vui's is the worst I've had in the city. Maybe it suits other people's taste but ... blah. The broth was too sweet (the worst), had only one type of meat, and the broth lacked any depth. It actually tasted more mushroomy than beefy. I would expect something like this if someone requested vegetarian pho. My friend had the banh mi and she enjoyed it, although it wasn't a traditional banh mi with its ingredients. We also shared a goi cuon (summer roll), which was more noodles than anything. To top it off, all of it was really expensive. $11 for a small bowl of pho?!! The ambience is all very nice, which I think is the real contributor to its overly inflated ratings, alongside a whole lot of people who are not in search of good, authentic Vietnamese food. I should add that the service is not table side but was very friendly and efficient. Maybe I should think of it as Vietnamese fusion, but definitely not traditional. Regardless, this is just another watered down, hipstered restaurant. read more

I love this place and today I introduced my husband to it and now he loves it as well. I normally get a Banh Mi with lemongrass pork belly along with a bowl of Pho with beef slices. Both of these items are enough for two people unless you are seriously hungry. Go check out Viu's Kitchen - you won't be disappointed. Great food, great atmosphere and great customer service. read more

So, admittedly, I am not a Vietnamese food expert. I have eaten at several such restaurants, though, and I know I do not care for a lot of Cilantro. My wife had heard great things about this place from a co-worker, and we decided to meet there for lunch, today. We arrived right at 11a or a few minutes after, as we knew it got packed quickly. The place is small and cozy, and the parking seems even smaller and cozier. Ha ha! My wife decided on the summer rolls and the cabbage and chicken salad. We upgraded her salad to a large, and I added the Bahn Mi (spelling?! - sorry) with pork belly, as recommended by the cashier. He was very helpful. He noted that I did not want Cilantro on the sandwich for me - thank you! He also suggested the fish sauce for me for the salad as I prefer not to have sweet / fruity dressings with my salad. Our summer rolls arrived at our table, first. The food seemed fresh and had a good presentation (see pics). I will say, for the price, I've had rolls with a lot more shrimp, but these were still good. The peanut sauce was a little less sweet than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise for me. The salad and sandwich arrived, shortly thereafter. Both were presented well. The sandwich had a lot of veggies in it (falling out of the sandwich), although I was a little surprised there was no side with it, for the price. To be fair, it was a pretty large sandwich stuffed full. The salad was a large salad and tasted very good, as well, although it also was surprisingly light on the chicken. However, some places will charge a couple dollars more to even get chicken, so it wasn't too bad on price. All in, we spent $27 with only waters to drink. That's a little steeper than we would normally get for a place that really does not offer wait service. I expect we will go back, again, as they have good food with a lot of healthy options, and it is a good location for my wife and I to meet, during the day. One minor thing that I did want to add, is that their gravel parking lot may leave you standing in a puddle of water if it is raining. I had to work pretty hard not to get my shoes / socks soaked... read more
