Came for the mochi donuts, stayed for the extremely delicious $8.95 tofu banh mi. Tucked into the corner of the Walmart shopping complex off Nolensville Road, easy to blow past even when you know it's there, just by virtue of how small it is. Almost always packed, even right before closing. I've done delivery a couple of times before finally showing up in person. (And now regret I ever did delivery. Pickup is easy and the fees are not worth it.) Menu is tight and purposeful: banh mi, pho, rice noodle bowls, a handful of appetizers, all inexpensive. The boba and fruit teas are an influencer's dream: colorful, instagrammable, with lots of interesting flavors to choose from. But the real draw here is the made-fresh-daily mochi donuts, and the flavor lineup leans decidedly international: taro glaze, Dubai chocolate, strawberry pocky, pistachio. My personal favorite is actually the plain sugar (maximum chewy mochi mouthfeel), but the fancier ones hold up, too. Miles better than what the nearby chain Asian bakeries are doing, and I have eaten at a lot of those. All that said, the actual food is not an afterthought. The tofu banh mi ($8.95) has become a genuine addiction, on what tastes like real, homemade French bread. Ordered on their website, ready in 15 minutes, waiting at the counter 2 minutes after I walked in. The 1 thing that is super annoying is the space gets crowded enough that navigating to the counter for pickup is a little awkward. Parking is easy (massive shared lot), staff is warm and fast. Would be in very regular rotation if it weren't slightly out of my way, and it's well worth the effort. read more

Such a wide variety of foods to get here! I didn't get them this time but they have the best mochi donuts here! We went for dinner and I got a noodle bowl with bbq chicken. It was okay but I think next time I'll get the soup. The drinks however, were delicious! Staff is always really kind and free parking is plentiful in their lot. Love going here. It's cute inside. read more

New-ish to TN and I found this cafe originally through and Instagram ad. I enjoy milk tea and matcha so I had to try it out. When I got there late afternoon on a Saturday, it was somewhat busy, some families and a few groups of friends. There was a line to order. Seems like it is family owned and there wasn't a lot of staff. The cashier was also bussing tables and serving the food. The staff seemed friendly and hardworking. They have a little water station that you may help yourself to throughout your meal. I ordered the Viet Tea Trio (appetizer, entrée, & drink) with a Beef Pho, Pork fried egg rolls, and a rose milk tea. They had a variety of milk teas and matcha flavors along with many toppings (i.e. boba). The beef pho was full of flavor. The beef was tender and cooked through, brisket cut. The egg rolls are crunchy and come with a sweet kind of chili sauce. They also have hoisin or sriracha sauce on the tables if you would like to add more flavor to your food. The tea was delicious, though on the sweet side. I like sweet, but let the staff know if you would like it less sweet (25/50/75%). The whole meal was quite filling. It was a bit loud, which is fine, but the kitchen is just behind a curtain so you can sometimes hear the clanking of pots and dishes. But overall a nice experience. read more

There's not a sign for the place (might be under construction still) but small quaint place, limited seating. Service is great and staff is very friendly. Lots of options for boba and tea with various toppings. I got the banana pudding matcha and mochi donut! The matcha was great and the donut was surprisingly light and airy! Even tho it looks dense, it's not. Def will come back to try their pho! read more

Cute little place. Their drinks are pretty good. Service is quick. But if you're looking for authentic viet food, keep looking. Their dishes are subpar and me being Vietnamese was really disappointed with their flavors for their bun bo hue. Their pho was just as disappointing. Their banh mi was pretty good though. Pastries were more on the dryer side but their boba drinks and matcha were delicious. I recommend this place for that. But not their food. read more

I would have been perfectly fine skipping this place altogether. The flavor of the pho was unremarkable. The noodles were overcooked and the quality of the meat was terrible. It is very small and quaint so sometimes hard to get a table, but the service was good. The donuts were the most interesting item we tasted but definitely not good enough to bring us back. read more

this is a hidden gem and i wish it was closer to me, although i dont wish that at the same time because id get fat off of all the donuts. the flavors were so hard to choose from. i also got the wonton soup and it was delicious. the place could use a bit more decorating. but definitely come here for those donuts read more

This small shop has been on my TO TRY list for some time now. Today I had a bit of time and decided to drop in. I was thrilled to see they offered a variety of drinks and boba. I decided to order a sweetened ice latte with black sugar syrup and boba and for my meal I ordered a BBQ Pork Banh Mi, and also order some donuts to go (Dubai chocolate, Biscoff cookie, and Oreo). The sandwich was filling and my beverage was delicious. This establishment is outside of my area but I would happily return when a craving hits. read more

We had the wonton noodle (Hoành Thánh) and beef noodle (bun bo hue), they are generous on the meat and the portions. Service is pay at the counter, and they bring it out. The ambiance feels authentic with the kitchen staff, small space and uneven tables. Solid 8.5/10 read more

Stopped in here for a hot soup on a freezing day. It's a tiny shop and was very busy. Unfortunately, the service was struggling to keep up it looked like one person was handling everything from taking orders to waitressing, which led to long wait times. The Beef Pho was okay, but nothing spectacular. The biggest downside is the seating; because the place is so small, the line of people waiting for takeout is standing right over you while you eat. If you're craving Pho and aren't in a rush, it's an alright option, but I'd avoid it if it looks busy. read more

YUM! Stopped in to grab boba tea after seeing someone drinking it in the nail salon next door the other day and wow was it good! I got the Thai tea a little less sweet and it was perfect. The boba was a great consistency too. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy and I noticed their food looked good as well. Everyone was sweet and happy to help. I will be back! read more

Viet Tea Cafe - Thai tea boba - Vietnamese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We usually DoorDash from Viet Tea Cafe, and overall it's a solid go-to. The mochi donuts are AMAZING! The pho has great flavor, but the noodles are a bit too cooked by the time it's delivered. They tend to break easily and get soggy. I usually transfer the pho to my own bowl at home, and I think slightly undercooking the noodles would really help it hold up better for delivery. The fresh spring rolls are good, but I'd love to see more of the other ingredients and less noodles inside. The sauce is really good. The taro boba with coconut milk is hands-down the best drink! It's creamy, flavorful, and not too sweet. I haven't tried adding extras yet, but I'd prefer an option to add extra boba from the app next time. Very happy with the extra lunar new year donuts that they included in our order! Thank you! read more

Went recently after new owners took over, just to check it out. I'll have to say I was impressed. Got the ube mochi waffle, it was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed the beef stew, the meat was tender and flavorful. We also got the chicken and banh mi- I wish the bread wasn't as thick. Drinks were good. We'll definitely be back. read more

Smiling faces welcomed me in which is always a plus! I had the passion fruit breeze and absolutely loved it. I've been on a passion fruit kick so to find a drink that had the actual puree was delightful. The Cafe itself was cute and nestled in a strip mall. I'll be back for more! read more

I miss the old set up where you would walk in and order from a counter in the back. Now, when you walk in, the counter is right at the door which gets crowded quickly. The food is yummy but pickup time isn't accurate more times than it is. Quite often I'm waiting an additional 20+ minutes with an item missing. The ambiance is ok just overwhelming when you're trying to get in but the front door is crowded. Bad spot for the counter, honestly. Choosing not to give 3 stars only because I've been loyal from the day they opened. read more

Let me start by saying the drinks and desserts were very good. But...the vermicelli noodle bowl, beef pho and egg rolls were disgusting. The pork on the vermicelli bowl was not bbq like it should be. The sauce for it was nothing but colored sugar water with no fish sauce, garlic and chili like it should be. Pho was plain and no sauces to make it good. Egg roll flavor was the worst I've ever had. Couldn't even eat it. I am so sorry to give this review but people need to know that this is not in any way shape or form Vietnamese food done right. The lady sitting next to us left a whole bowl of noodles and spring rolls on the table and left. Please fix your recipes or get someone who knows how to cook viet food. read more

Had the mango coconut drink and my husband got the ube matcha Both 10/10 loved it , the appetizers we had were great too and I had the beef pho. Nearly cried when I had the pho , it was amazing. Tasted good, the meat wasn't thick ah pieces , good amount of noodles. Incredible. My only two issues is getting two little pieces of lime for my order at first luckily I asked for more and they gave it to me no issues lol. Second issue was the worker kinda seeming like like tired and annoyed but that's just a personal think lol Overall I'd give it a 4.7/5 read more

The beef stew is 10/10!! It was so good the first time, I ordered it like 3 more times in the same week . It's consistently fresh and same great flavor each time. My favorite pho I've ever had. I also love the Thai tea and strawberry donut! I've only ordered it for delivery, but will make time to eat in and bring my friends along! read more

This is closer to a 5 than a 4. I think one of the better banh mi places near by without driving hours to a major city. When I crave good Vietnamese food I head out to Hans. Personally I think the shop here taste better than the one in the Assembly hall. It's quaint and cute inside. Free lemon water and great service low pressure joint. The menu is small but still has a good selection. Their noodle soups and banh mi are why I go but it's arguable depending on who you go with. My kids love the milk teas and feel like what's why they go. Either way it's so good you won't spend much time there before the food is devoured! Go enjoy and try out something new. read more

Amazing! You can't go wrong with anything whether it's the beef pho, the Dubai chocolate donut or the chia strawberry limeade! We got our daughter the kids chicken pho and once she finished her noodles she drank all of her broth. We will definitely double back before we head back home. read more

Initially I was unsure what to think walking into this small cafe in this strip mall. As soon as I entered I was met by a selection of interesting pastries, all of various flavors and colors! - I realize I should write these reviews when they're fresh so I remember them better but the donuts weren't like normal donuts. I think they were like rice based instead of like yeast I think? very fluffy and delicious- The service was great from the staff, we ended up showing up at the start of the dinner rush and being able to stay to watch how busy this place gets and how hard the staff work. They seemed to have more people take out from there rather than dine in (probably due to the small amount of seating). Got to enjoy the killer Pho they had, I don't know exactly what I got because my girlfriend ordered pretty much all of it but it all tasted fresh and unique. 100% going back! read more

I am a bubble tea snob and I also want to have my own bubble tea business in the future. I'd say this is one of the best bubble tea spots in the US. The boba was cooked perfectly. Well, this is so personal since people like the texture of the boba in a different way. The boba stayed soft even it passed 2 hours grace period. I give that two thumbs up. The concentration of their classic tea is perfect. Not too weak and not too strong. The variety of drinks on the menu are a plus. A bit hard to make a decision when you purchasing it at the restaurant because there were so many options. I wish they would have a wider range of sweet levels rather than less sweet or 100% sweet for some of the drinks. I know you can do 0% sugar for Strawberry Matcha through Uber Eats. Let's scope it down to all the bubble tea stores in Nashville area. This is the best bubble tea spot and I have revisited uncountable times. read more

I've been coming here again since they rebranded/got new owners and it has been a phenomenal experience every time. Their expanded menu has a lot of new Vietnamese entrees, including Bo Kho which is one of my fav dishes. The soup was savory and rich and the slow cooked beef chunks were very tender. Their bubble tea is still incredible too. I got a taro ube drink with grass jelly which was fire. It's a new staple for me now! read more

The food was amazing! Donuts were cute and very yummy. Everyone was nice! I'll definitely be back again.

3 stars. This place is definitely not BAD. But it's not good, either. The pho is $15, which is fair for the portion but the broth was sooo greasy. I've never had pho with greasy broth like they had. It coated the spoon and everything I had near the soup. The service was good, nothing exceptional and nothing terrible. Just people getting their jobs done. We ordered a passion fruit boba drink, which we were excited about but it was SO sweet we barely drank any of it. There were other customers there who also left their mostly full drinks on the table when they left. If you MUST have pho and you don't have another option, this will do. However, it doesn't hit the high points for me when it comes to experience at a Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Very friendly assistance and delicious tea! They give you a sample and they have high quality tea and are really helpful kind people.

You instantly feel welcomed at the door. The sever at the register took his time to explain the various dishes and how they were prepared. The beef pho was very fresh, flavorful and aromatic. The is a hidden gem. It's usually not packed however it was on this particular Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was very nice and clean. read more

After my first time coming here I can genuinely say I'm in loveeeee!! This place is so so cute and the people were so kind, despite being slammed when we got there. I got the black sugar crema latte with regular boba, the beef pho and shared the fried pork egg rolls with my boyfriend. Everything was incredible. I've never had such a flavor packed broth in my life!! We even picked up an mochi ube waffle, some mochi donuts and an egg tart to take home and everything was so soft and chewy and delicious. If this place needs anything, it's just a bigger space to accommodate how many people were coming in every couple minutes to get something. I'm just sad I don't live closer or I'd be here A LOT. :))) read more
