Remember to bring cash with you, no other accepted forms of payment. Service style is right down to business and quick, no time for chit chat. My favorite Vietnamese dishes include pho and bun thit nuong and VN pho & deli delivers on both! In my opinion, they use fresher and higher quality ingredients compared to other local comparable spots, especially when it comes to the proteins. They also make and jar/sell their own chili oil - a spicy treat! On a rainy day, a meal from here is near the top of my priority list!

Once, my toddler was coloring with the crayons they provide and drew on the wall. I felt horrible and they were so kind and told me not to worry about it. I like to get the Vui bowl with chicken, but I've had almost everything on the menu and have liked everything. When we have visitors from out of town, this is where we take them. They have something for everyone--even my vegan sister! Their kids menu is also good, and kids are 1/2 price on Tuesdays. Additionally, they are willing to resolve issues. I once purchased a gift card online thinking it applied for a promo. When it didn't, I called and was contacted by their head of marketing. He made things right by adding extra rewards to my account. They supporting this small, local chain! It is my family's go-to for a healthy dinner on busy week nights when we don't have time to make dinner at home.

Before you, gentle reader, dive into this review, let me reassure you that I am more demanding than…read moremost in my expectations of Viet cuisine. I have first hand experience with a large variety of Viet dishes from Saigon, Thu Duc and Vung Tau, RVN whilst I was deployed at Long Binh Jail. That being said, I am a SoCal transplant and used to what I have considered to be among the BEST Viet dishes I have eaten anywhere. The basis of any decent phó is the broth. Normally, the broth is prepared 6-8 hours before the first bowl is prepared and served. Th broth at Vui had no depth or complexity; it is just broth. The noodles, veggies and meat (beef in our case) were already in the bowl when brought to us, not on a plate to be mixed into the broth. We also had their goi cuon, called summer rolls. They were meh. All in all, the phó was adequate to satisfy my craving, but nowhere near what I've come to expect. I have found 3 Viet restaurants in west Nashville that are worth the drive.

The food was estimated to be ready 10-15 minutes after I ordered. It was ready in the promised time. The Chicken Pho was perfect when I had a cold. I added chili oil and loved the flavor of the soup. It was loaded with chicken and veggies too. The Beef Bao Bun was flavorful. The meat on the Bao bun was great. Vui's Bowl was also really good. My kids loved the Kids Rice Bowl. The kids' meals are large enough for my daughters to share. Vui's will be on my list when I'm looking for a healthy meal or a nice brothy soup.

Everything tasted fresh, no complaints there. However, I had an issue with the portion size to price ratio. My fiancé and I both ordered the regular sized pho. They have a smaller size and a regular size and we 100% ordered regular size. Now, I don't know if something got mixed up, but assuming I got the correct order, a regular size portion is a shallow takeout container with noodles and the toppings and 16oz of broth. That amount of broth is enough to barely cover everything in the already shallow bowl. Also, the bao bun, while super tasty, cost $4.25 and we got one piece of pork belly on it which I was a little sad about! The coconut pudding, also super tasty, was pretty small too and cost $3.00. However, it is a filling dessert so I can understand that pricing and portion sizes. Again, overall this place is good, but I think I've just been a bit more spoiled with other Pho spots I've been to. I've had a lot of places give me a lot more bang for my buck.

For my wife and I, we spent $80+ on lunch. In addition to the steep prices, they automatically added a $12.12 (15%) tip to the bill. If that wasn't annoying enough by itself (tips should be optional and based on the service provided IMO), they have the audacity to add another tip line at the end of the receipt to tip the server. Food was really good, but keep that San Francisco style price gouging and tipping insanity where it belongs - in California. I'll take my Thai cravings elsewhere. There are several other good Thai restaurants in the area that are as good and more realistic in price.

The Chili Tofu and Avocado Spring Rolls were so disappointing I briefly lost faith in civilization…read more I took one bite and felt my soul leave my body, hover above the table, and ask if we were seriously doing this. It tasted less like food and more like a cry for help wrapped in rice paper. My friend and I each had one bite, locked eyes in silent despair, and the rest was immediately sentenced to the trash with no possibility of parole. The Smashed Cucumber Salad, however, came in like a redemption story written by HBO. Incredible. Fresh, crunchy, perfectly dressed, and here's the kicker: the cucumber was barely smashed. As it should be. I am once again begging restaurants to stop assaulting cucumbers. They did nothing wrong. Let them remain whole, crisp, and emotionally stable. Then the Coconut Curry arrived and suddenly all was not lost. Rich, cozy, and actually delicious. The kind of dish that whispers, "stay, don't leave a one star review yet." A strong supporting actor in an otherwise emotionally complicated evening. Would I drive all the way from downtown for this again? Absolutely not. Nashville has too many places competing like it's the culinary Hunger Games, and right now this one is still in the training montage. There's potential, but we're not at "burn gas money on purpose" levels yet. Now let's talk about the staff: genuinely phenomenal. Kind, attentive, and somehow carrying the entire emotional infrastructure of the restaurant on their backs. Also, there was a ridiculously hot chef or sous chef in the back who had me rethinking years of personal growth. For one reckless second I considered asking if she needed a husband, a line cook, or someone to simply stand there and admire her knife skills. But my therapist, my ancestors, and basic survival instincts reminded me about boundaries. Also, based on the intensity of that kitchen energy, I'm pretty sure flirting would end with me folded into a dumpling and steamed. So yes, I may return. Not for the spring rolls. For closure. And possibly for the hot chef at the wok station who now lives rent-free in my mind.

I ordered delivery through UberEats, and it was at my door in less than 30 minutes! It's important to shout out the way they package their pho to-go - the noodles and meat are kept separate from the broth, and even the toppings come in their own container. This makes it easy to customize your bowl, and even keep some for later. I highly recommend tacking on some extra noodles!
