    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.

    Special of the month: banh canh w chewy, thick noodles, meatballs, pork hock and a soft shell crab!

    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.

    Lunch Combo with gluten-free Pho Ga and gluten-free Traditional Summer Roll.
    Bea C.

    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.

    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.

    Short Rib Pho

    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.

    Moma mini spring rolls (2) Lunch Combination
    Antoinette H.

    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.

    Crispy Sticky Rice Pork n Shrimp
    Sabreena S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Papaya Salad with Grilled Shrimp
    Han N.

    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!

    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!

    Pan Fried Sticky Rice
    Kimberly T.

    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.

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting.

Flavor wise they did not change my life like I was hoping they would. Still ate them all. The locale is super unassuming from the street, but inside it is really cool, divey, and broody. The staff was super sweet and helped me get in and out efficiently so I could make it to the game. Would absolutely recommend, would absolutely come back, and would absolutely bring friends here.
