    Pho Beef*- sliced beef
    Ariel C.

    Visited on a Sunday for lunch and were able to get seated right away. The place isn't too big but it's clean and comfortable. The prices are slightly high but the portions are large (especially the bahn mi) and flavors were good overall. They also offered a free beer for Father's Day!

    Pho Beef*

    11/10 arguably THE BEST Pho . I've tried many places in Louisville and nothing absolutely NOTHING compares. I've come back countless times and it's the exact same every single time. I think what makes this stand out from the rest is that they make a house sauce for the Pho. Of course you can still ask for chili oil but this house sauce you can't beat. I've even ordered this to go and eating it at home feels as if I'm in the restaurant. This place is a true joke in the wall family owned restaurant. They were so helpful when I first ordered this dish and explained how to eat it. This is more of a 2-4 person kind of setting but I've seen them sit one large 7 top that took up most of their space. Come with a big appetite and you won't leave hungry .

    Brisket Pho Beef*

    Stopped in for some lunch on Friday. Ordered the crispy spring rolls for an app, they came out quick but by the time they made it to the table they were just warm, would have preferred them to be hotter, but they were good. Ordered the Pho with Brisket, it was hot and delicious. The meat is so tender and the broth is super flavorful. If you need a meal to warm up your belly go get the pho!

    Classic Egg Fried Rice
    Marian B.

    First time at VinBun! The small seating area was packed with customers, the aroma of cooking was a delicious greeting, & the menu was well balanced. The food selection was limited to appetizers, Banh Mi, Noodle Soups, Vermicelli Bowls, Rice Places, beer, classic Vietnamese beverages, & soda drinks. I enjoyed the Bun Thit Nuong "Pork" Vermicelli Bowl. Every bite was a delight, pork flavorful, fresh vegetables crisp, sweet shrimp, & Al dente noodles. My husband ordered the Classic Egg Fried Rice, portions were generous, pork plentiful, vegetables were fresh. We did not order any beverages or desserts. I would highly recommend this little bistro for anyone who enjoys a moderately priced delicious meal.

    Bun Bo Hue weekend special. It's pho w/ more beef, more spice, and more lemongrass - heavenly
    Paul A.

    5 stars to perhaps my #1 pho spot in Louisville... especially when they have Bun Bo Hue (BBH) weekend special! My gf and I monitor their Facebook for the occasional announcement, and pounce when it's here. BBH takes pho and elevates it with more: beef shank, lemongrass, spicy sausage, and love It also has pork blood, which is optional, but my Filipino gf loves it... adds texture. Come get it this weekend! If you like heat, request a side of their Habanero spice sate. It's no joke, but hits the spot for spice lovers I also tried their Stir Fried Tofu Noodles for the first time, and love its hint of tamarind and generous scrambled egg. VinBun deserves some love for being an amazing API-owned establishment (Asian Pacific Islander). If you support it, you receive much love back!

    Bun Bo Hue
    Marie T.

    The Bun Bo Hue was fantastic--packed with fresh meats and veggies, and the broth? Chef's kiss! You know it's good when it has its own dedicated menu spot. Definitely adding this to my regular rotation. Shout out to the wonderful staff!

    We came here for lunch when visiting Louisville. We ordered 2 bowls of beef Pho, egg rolls and broken rice dish. Pho was pretty good - flavorful broth, tender beef. However I was disappointed at the grilled pork broken rice dish. Service was pleasant.

    Brisket Pho
    Gypsy G.

    Amazing. Talented. Elite. My phone ate first... but the final bite is always mine. Hot, comforting, and healing always in all ways! The owners are phenomenal, constantly and consistently wonderful, staff is always friendly and does a fantastic job! All needs met, and with such charm!! Thanks crew... as always chefs kiss hit em five times!

    Egg rolls
    Lorie L.

    A quick update to highlight this restaurant and its consistently flavorful pho. When my mind is on soup, my thought quickly lands here. While they have starters on the menu, my preference is to pick the brisket pho and add an egg, then save my stomach only for this! Small space and close tables but folks seem to rotate as best as possible to not be on top of each other for long. Would be tough for a large group. Never had poor service and often see the staff engaging with regulars.

    Been going for years now and one of the best places to get Vietnamese food an almost the is good. The sandwiches are very good if you like this place. The service is always a great an the restaurant is always clean

    Robin L.

    The food tasted authentic and fresh. The server was serving the entire restaurant and it was completely full. They got our food out fast. Couldn't expect anything more

    Returned for a second visit and brought my partner. We ordered the tofu appetizer, pho combination…read moreand Bun Thit Noung. The tofu was tasty, I wish the sauce was served in a bowl instead of underneath, because it was hard to fully coat. The entrées were packed with flavor, nothing was too strong or salty. Our waiter was friendly and answered all of our questions before we decided what to order. I will note, it was warm in the restaurant, not sure if the AC was working. Food was delicious, this is a place I look forward to returning.

    I googled "best Vietnamese in Louisville" and this place popped up. I have to say the food was…read moredelicious. I had the pho with shortribs and BWE ordered pho with beef. We had the fried tofu appetizer. The fried tofu came with a sweet chili sauce and was so good. When you bite into it there's a nice little crunch which is immediately met by the creamy interior (be careful it's hot!) and the flavor is amazing. The pho...oh my, the pho! The broth was full of flavor. The short ribs were tender. It was amazing! So...what's with the one star? I debated with myself on this but I had to give one star for the service. It was horrendous. We walked in and stood by the entrance for a good 10 minutes before anyone who worked there acknowledged us. We were finally seated, and, no lie, it took another 35 minutes before we got water (more on that in a minute). After we were seated, we knew exactly what we wanted so we closed our menus and waited...and waited...and waited...and waited. Thirty minutes after we sat down he finally took our order along with two other tables of two, who were seated well after we were (make it make sense). The two tables who came after us but ordered at the same time as us received their food a good 10 minutes before we did. I was beginning to think he didn't like us for some reason. I had no interaction with him. Didn't know him. So I don't know why he wouldn't like us. There was another couple who he seemed to know. He sat them quickly, took their order, and gave them their food--all in the span of about 20 minutes. Why was our service so bad? Needless to say--one star. If you don't mind horrible service...oh yeah, about that water. My water glass had something stuck to it. It was nasty! Should never have been given to a customer. Since we were, for the most part, being ignored, I had to walk over to him and ask if I could have a new glass. He mumbled "oh yea" and brought me a new one with a "sorry bout that" while he was walking away. Horrible service. If you don't mind horrible service, the food is great. I won't be going back.
