District 6 is a Vietnamese restaurant with a vast menu serving up solid classic dishes and fusion twists. The salmon bao was the best dish with a spicy mayo type sauce. The veggie pho was pretty good with good textures and a satisfying broth. The papaya salad with shrimp was refreshing and the stir fried noodles were very flavorful. Overall, we are excited to come back and try the rest of the menu, although the prices are a bit high. The service was prompt and the outdoor seating is pleasant in good weather.
We have lots of Vietnamese restaurants in Louisville. They range from the very authentic to the very watered down. Then there is District 6: a bright spot in the crowd. D6 has authentic items not available at other places: Thit Kho - pork belly and eggs stewed in caramel and fish sauce. Whole fish fried or steamed Awesome specials such as soft shell crab banh canh, lobster noodles...etc. These are all so delicious and always a wonderful surprise. But D6 also has the more trendy apps such as fried cauliflower and kale salad that can satisfy the other palates. And did I mention their prices are also very reasonable for this busy section of St. Matthews?? They even have lunch specials and Happy Hour. Oh, their drinks are very imaginative and festive, too. Give them a try if you have not. It's definitely on my list of regulars.
I ordered delivery from a third-party vendor, therefore, I am unable to comment on this restaurant's atmosphere or service. I ordered the Lunch Combination with gluten-free Chicken Pho (Pho Ga), with a gluten-free Traditional Summer Roll, and a Coke. For the Pho I requested no onion, no bean sprouts, no jalapeño, and extra Thai Basil and those instructions were followed to the T. For the gluten-free Traditional Summer Roll I requested no peanut sauce, and add Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping and those instructions were not followed. I was really looking forward to having the Sweet Chili Sauce for my summer roll. I know the restaurant received all my instructions because they were included on my receipt. The Pho Ga was disappointing, it lacked flavor. It honestly tasted like chicken broth from a grocery store carton. The chicken was tender which was refreshing, especially since I was disappointed about the broth. Pho is ALL ABOUT THE BROTH. I am an avid Pho lover, even make my own at home frequently, and this broth just didn't cut it for me. The gluten-free Traditional Summer Roll was tasty, with pork and shrimp. I would have enjoyed it more if I had received the requested Sweet Chili Sauce. The coke was delivered in a 16 ounce cup with lid, with more ice than coke and it was watered down. Definitely would not recommend a soda if you are ordering via delivery. Overall. I will not order again from this establishment.
The service is quick, and efficient. The ambiance is very laid-back. They have excellent hours and a robust Vietnamese menu. I was impressed to see vegetarian options on the menu. I absolutely loved the Vermicelli Noodle Salad with tofu it was delightful! I recommend trying this gem. You will not be disappointed. Parking for this venue is extremely difficult;however, street parking is accessible.
As far as short rib pho goes , District 6 has perfected it. The meat fell right off the bone and the pho was well seasoned. The restaurant was fairly quiet considering how much foot traffic it had. I also tried the wontons which were also very delicious ( not pictured).
Honestly some of the best pho I've had. The service was incredible. A warm and welcoming staff that made it even more enjoyable. The lunch special might be the best deal in town.
This is one of the more unique fried rice dishes I've had. It tastes wonderful, the savoriness and umami flavor comes as you'd expect for fried rice but the cheese, chorizo, bacon, and fried egg add a nice spin on it. It's like an American breakfast had a baby with latin and eastern cuisine. The crunch from the bacon is heavenly and the cheese, melted from being underneath the hot fried egg adds another layer of savoriness that some might find overpowering, make this feel like a cheat meal that gives great hugs. District 6 is one of my favorite places to visit in town. It's a bit small and seating can be a little cramped sometimes, but the food, service, and small neighborhood restaurant vibes are on point. All that for a decent price; If you're in the area, check em out!
Service was very good, attentive and friendly. Food was clearly freshly prepared and taste was on the mark.
Food and Pho were AMAZING First time trying 11/23/2025, drove to Louisville from Lexington for really good Pho Ordered the spicy fried cauliflower, wontons, chicken wings, fried chicken baos, bacon crunch wieners, and the short rib pho 10/10
My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner. Based on all the glowing reviews we had high hopes. We started with a "shareable"- lettuce wraps with beef. Absolutely outstanding. Great flavor, tender beef. And a generous serving. From there, things started to slide. My wife ordered chicken pho. I went with Pagoda noodles with shrimp. My wife's pho was a generous serving, served nice and hot. The chicken was sliced thin, very tender. But the broth was exceptionally weak. Very little flavor, less aroma. My pagoda noodles was also a letdown. I asked for the dish to be made spicy. It was served mild. I ended up using my wife's sriracha sauce to "liven" the dish. In fairness, the shrimp & noodles were perfect, just lacking full flavor. From my perspective, District 6 plays it a little too safe in the flavor department. A heavier hand with seasoning would really elevate the experience.
Always delicious - must have the Short Rib Pho! Great atmosphere and kind service. I like to meet for one on one conversations here, it's not too loud.
I got the Lunch Special: Moma Mini Spring Rolls, Beef and Meatball Pho, with a coke and and order of Chicken wings. Food was delicious! The service was decent. The bar tender was also the waiter for the floor. This caused delays in food and drink deliveries to both bar and the floor. There was enough staff for this not to happen. I would go again for the food and to see if it was just a bad day.
Group of 4 of us arrived and they were able to fit us in without a reservation. The place filled up quickly with every seat in the place filled. Our waitress was clearly experienced remembered each of our orders flawlessly by memory. We ordered the Bo ne fries as a starter and man, were these good. It was like a poutine with Asian flavors. I'd go back for this alone. I had the fried egg noodles with beef. It was full of flavor. The others ordered yellow curry, sticky rice, and pho. Everyone was happy with their meal and enjoyed the flavors. The atmosphere was modern with an Asian flare. Loved the Saigon wall art with district 6 on it. Would definitely go back.
First time here, but it definitely will not be the last! Service was fast, very friendly, and very helpful! We settled on lunch specials which included a drink, appetizer & entreé. The summer roll was so fresh! My companion got beef banh mi which was incredibly tasty! My tofu & veggie pho was filling. Both were presented beautifully with taste to match. Restaurant ambiance is typical Asian with plenty of tables that aren't too tightly packed. They also have a generous happy hour M-F and we will definitely go check that out soon. read more

I made a reservation for 5p Sunday for a group dinner and when I arrived early there was no one at the hostesses station but there were people sitting there waiting in a table when the restaurant didn't look that busy to me. I waited for about 6 minutes before the hostess showed up and I was seated. They were very accommodating about my party size changing last minute and seating me in a more comfortable spot until my party arrived. The food was amazing though. I had the red curry with chicken and rice and my friends ordered wontons and lettuce wraps. Everyone loved their food. read more

I wanted to try the food here because they're very gluten free friendly (menu items are marked), and it was a pretty great experience! I got there a few minutes before my colleague, and the hostess seated me right away. The decor was very cute and fun, with colorful chairs and lantern hanging from the ceiling. The menus that were brought to the table were stained with a sauce that got on me, indicating they hadn't been wiped down. Mistakes happen. Our server was very friendly and attentive, along with the other staff who came out frequently to clear off dishes. Everyone was very kind and courteous. We got the Papaya Salad with Shrimp as our appetizer, and it was pretty good, but not quite as flavorful and authentic as Vietnamese or Thai papaya salads I've had outside of a restaurant. I got the Short Rib Pho and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! It tasted like it'd been cooking for a really long time, and I could taste all of the spices in the very tender beef. The portion was very generous and it was piping hot when they brought it out (just how I like it). The server was also kind enough to bring me gluten free hoisin sauce, jalapeños, sriracha, and chili oil, which made it even more delicious! I would definitely get this again. My friend orders takeout from here says she likes the friend chicken bao buns and spicy bacon fried rice, too. All in all, this is a great place to try different dishes and it's very gluten free and vegetarian/vegan friendly! read more

Friendly staff. Can't go wrong with ordering a few shareable plates, especially the friend chicken banh mi (just the right amount of heat). Drinks are delicious but also on the sweet side if that's your thing. read more
If you are in the mood for some good Vietnamese food then try District6! I had the stir fried noodles with beef and it was delicious. I've had their short rib pho which was really big lol. Definitely coming back here for more meals! And my friend ordered the pagoda noodles. Parking however can be tricky and I came here when it snowed so the sidewalks and parking was hard to find. read more
Delicious! In the mood for soup yet also wanting options, we made our first visit to District 6. I was so happy we were able to be seated right away and the staff worked together to take care of us, some taking orders, others refilling drinks and more ensuring that we were happy with our selections. We started with two large spring rolls with beef. Yum! And loves the peanut sauce. The pork belly bao buns were also wonderful but their price tag was extreme for only two, which will keep me from adding them next time. For entrees we both ordered the beef and meat ball pho. The broth was flavorful as well as the beef. The meatball was ... weird. Closer to the taste and texture of a hot dog or sausage. I'd settle for beef only if that's an option. We added a side of the sticky pan fried rice. It was so different than what we expected! But I'm glad we tried it and would order it again. Even splitting it was a nice addition to our soup. Can't wait to come back and would love to visit during their lunch special, before 4p. The restaurant is cozy and perfect for conversation with family and friends. They offer several 2- and 4-tops and could seat a larger party if room allowed. Located in St Matthews. Parking is nutty in this part of town. We felt lucky to snag a spot right outside their door, on the street. read more

I adore District 6! It's always so cozy in this twinkly, colorful Vietnamese gastropub in St. Matthews proper. It's an intimate space best for 1-4. Think: small groups, first dates, dinner with a friend, or after work libations and apps. When I walk in I feel like I'm visiting my long lost Asian family kitchen, the staff - and particularly the owner - make sure you're taken care of and your meal is right. Those little attentive details in their service really make this place special. Menu fan favorites: - Short rib (aka 'dinosaur bone') pho, incredible on a cold night! This dish stands alone, and you'll probably be bringing home leftovers. - Crispy pan fried dumplings. Because, dumplings. - Red curry chicken (ask for extra jasmine rice to help cut the heat) - Vietnamese iced coffee They have thriving to-go demand, and you can even buy the kitchen a round for $5, which they absolutely deserve. Louisville is lucky to have District 6 in town. read more

The menu has changed since we had last been here and my friend was disappointed that the Bo Ne fries had changed to be a vegan dish. He is firmly against tofu so he ordered the Crispy Pan fried vegetable dumplings (filled with vegetables, topped with crispy shallots, fried garlic and green onion). Unusual but very delicious! My entree was the red curry chicken (sweet potatoes and onion topped with cilantro) served with noodles. Very filling and warm which was welcoming on a chilly night. Still a great place and I will be back to try other things! read more

Took my kids for lunch. We ordered shrimp spring rolls for appetizer. Very crispy loved the filling. My cocktail was to die for. This was my second time eating the sticky fried rice. The red chili oil compliments the dish. The prawns were huge and cooked to perfection. Spicy chicken wings hit the spot. The sauce was very tasty. Will definitely go back. Our server was very pleasant and the wait time was fast. read more

It might have been beneficial that we arrived around 2pmish. One benefit is the menu special valid till 4pm. You get one mini appetizer and a choice on entree for only $14.00. Hubby ordered Mama's Mini and Red Curry. My choice was thr shrimp roll and Pagoda Noodles. Started off with the special, Lychee Mojito. Impressed that we were being serviced by the bartender. By the same token, it was a little perplexing since there were 2 other people that seemed to be working the floor. For having to juggle bartending and wait service, Donnabell did an awesome job. The portion of the appetizer seemed small, but in reality it's a perfect bite for the combo. My mojito had a perfect balance that if I didn't have the will power could have easily ordered 2 more. Hubby said his spring roll was ok but noticed my shrimp roll seemed larger. He said the balance of heat on the red curry was just right. He said it gives enough on heat without losing the flavor of the dish. My noodles was practically perfect. There were a couple of bites that kicked in a little more sweetness than preferred in a pad Thai dish. The portion size was perfect that filled me just enough to leave room fir dessert. For dessert, I went with the Ube Mango Sticky Rice. And never had I ever done a happy dance on a dessert till now. The portion is more than enough for two. Thus, I have leftovers (big grin). Whoever designed this place did a great job in their though process. From the mirrors on the wall to give the larger room illusion, the map that highlights District 6 (which explains their name), to the little flower bix window near the kitchen. This place had been on my bookmark list for some time and now will remain on the favorites list. Military discount applies to one service member per ticket and it's an impressive one. For those who follow me know 5 stars is hard to come by me on reviews. Just know that I am somewhat partial due to my preference on Asian flavors. Yet, even so, this place would have me as a regular if it wasn't so far from where I live. Next visit in the St Matthews area will definitely include a stop here! read more
