This place is flat out delicious! Had the beef Pho and normally with Pho at other places I add extra flavors with sauces or chili oil to add flavor but this is wonderful right from the kitchen My daughter is gluten free and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly about it and as a non gluten free person I thought it was incredible She had the chicken Pho Highly recommend!! read more

Pretty disappointed with this visit. The chicken came out way over-fried and super dry -- honestly hard to even eat. It felt like it had been sitting around way too long or just cooked wrong. I told the staff about it, and instead of fixing it or replacing the dish, they only took 10% off... which was about $1.80. That doesn't really make up for getting food that wasn't edible. For the price, I expected a lot better quality and service. Not sure I'd come back after this. read more

I came for a bite to eat (lunch) at my local favorite restaurant to be greeted by a rude/snappy server and a dirty table, with negative energy! Mind you, I sat down at 1:30pm. The sign clearly states "closes at 2pm". She hurriedly said "do you know want you want to order bc we close in 10 minutes". I wasn't even given a greeting, or even a menu at this point....WOW! I simply said, I would dine elsewhere, got up from the table and told her she was RUDE! Our family dines here often... unfortunately, not anytime in the near future! She did say she was sorry, a little to late for that honey!!! Needless to say this place is off my list, sadly!!! You need to Market your hours as they truly are right now here in Yelp it says your restaurant is closed and it's still 1:50 p.m. in the afternoon don't say you're closed at 2:00 p.m. in theory you closed 30 minutes ago.

What an awesome little hole in the wall with the best food! We went here for a family birthday. There were 5 of us and 3/5 got the brisket pho and praised it very highly. We started with the shrimp tempura as well which was pretty good. The table also tried the banh mi and the stir fried shrimp noodles. Everything was great but the shrimp noodles ended up being a table favorite. The flavors were out of this world. My only complaint was all the shrimp still had the tails on. The service was really great though. There was only one server and he was doing his best through a crowded dinner rush, and he was so very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Great bowl of pho and I've had it all across the states. Flavorful broth, excellent meat to noodle ratio, decent prices for what you get. Various cuts of meat for good price just slightly above average compared to other spots in U.S., and a chill atmosphere. I had good service with chill lofi music and enjoyed my bowl. Meaty flavorful broth, I didn't run out of meat or noodles halfway through and had enough broth for every bite! It was quiet with about 2 other customers. I came for lunch right as they opened and had a belly warming bowl of pho! I left full and happy! read more

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! read more

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. read more

My go to spot whenever I need pho especially in the cold. Food hits the spot all the time and broth is always perfect. It's family owned so anyone who thinks they need to be served right away or thinks they are being ignored should calm down and enjoy the smells of the food being prepared. Specials are always amazing and sell out fast, especially the short rib pho which should be a permanent item! Lol read more

Such a great place. Service is great, always. The food is amazing. I generally get the chicken pho, it is amazing. Fresh ingredients and homemade. The tofu is good as well. They have a homemade spice/pepper you can get on the side that is great (if you like spicy/hot things). read more

Lovely local spot for a variety of Vietnamese dishes. Staff is lovely. Service is pretty fast even when mildly busy at dinner!

Food is so good here!! they have that authentic Vietnamese home cooking going on here. I've gotten food to go also. They have great vegetarian options too. Their weekend special is it's a cute restaurant that has that family feel to it. Bring your friends and family for a great dining experience. read more

Finally came back and got the Pho Ga. Best I've had in the state by far. It had a great aroma and the roasted taste of the chicken put it over the top. There is flavor and they want you to taste every bit of it. Also loved the limeade. I would drink gallons if I could. Can't wait to come again to such a cute place, with friendly staff and amazing food, read more

VinBun Vietnamese Bistro - Pho Ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Middletown, Kentucky

It's a Vietnamese restaurant I've been to with friends. The egg rolls were neat and delicious. The pho had a lot of meat in it, unlike other restaurants. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant. They give you homemade sauce because of the shortage of sriracha sauce, but it's very spicy. Please use a little bit. While paying for my food, I looked at the receipt and was surprised to see a suggested tip. Is tipping now starting at 30 percent? I like to write many reviews and have carefully seen the many checks, but I've never seen a suggested tip of 50 percent. lol. But, Good to try~ read more

I have been eating at Vinbun ever since they opened several years ago. They have become part of our weekly routine with Pho Friday. We exclusively eat take out, enough the owners have started to tease me about it, lol. I have eaten everything on the menu and can say you cannot go wrong with anything. Meatball Pho is a staple and the specials are always a pleasant surprise. The traditional pho with the sliced beef is delicious. Fresh beef slices cooked perfectly in the hot broth is quite the delicacy. The broth always retains so much heat that process of eating a whole bowl can easily last a half hour and still be warm. The chicken wings are some of the best wings I have ever had, out of ALL wing spots. Adding the homemade spice kicks up the flavor to 100. The spice has become a standard condiment in my house. The staff is super friendly, a wonderful family owned restaurant right in Middletown. You haven't eaten Vietnamese food until you have eaten here, or visited Vietnam. :) read more

With a slight chill in the air, soup sounded great for supper the other night. Excellent food with great flavor and a very attentive staff. The place is small but clean and located in a strip mall. Food is reasonably priced. read more

Have you had Vietnamese coffee with eggnog cream on top then scooped up with crispy fried donut stick?? If not, you need to try this at VinBun like I did today. I made the drive ALL the way to Middletown just to try this. I was rewarded for my efforts. That egg cream is rich, creamy but not too sweet - a high praise by an Asian palate. Once you've devoured the cream, there is still strong, bitter, yet sweet coffee on the bottom. I was so happy! I also had to try the "eggrolls" aka cha gio. I can report it is one of the best I've had: crispy, filled with ground pork, wood ear, carrots and glass noodles. It is very savory and not greasy. Service was friendly and efficient. The owner came out to talk to me, too. I would definitely come back for more of their weekly specials and other stuff, too. read more

grabbed take away from VinBun on recommendation of a friend - food was delicious!! i had shrimp spring rolls & Pho beef (brisket) with yummy broth! partner had Pho ga (chicken) & was equally pleased. our food was packed well for travel & was still plenty hot when arrived home. we were greeted warmly on arrival, thanked for coming & invited back soon. we will return soon & plan to dine in next time. the dining area is a bit small, but i would say it is cozy vs. tight. though a large group might find it difficult, tables of 2 - 4 should be comfortable (will let you know). read more

This little Middletown gem is phenomenal! The Pho and Vermicelli are both favorites, with a beautiful presentation of fresh ingredients as seen in the picture. The fresh Thai Basil is one of the many things that gives this place a unique experience. The Combination Pho does have tripe, which is an acquired taste. I would avoid that for a first-timer. One thing you won't notice is a large restaurant. This place is really small! In fact, that's part of the charm. Also, their music selection is always on point. If you're in the Middletown general area, you owe it to yourself to try VinBun. Try one of the variations that I mentioned above, or the incredible Pad Thai. You'll be happy you did! read more

They haven't been open for too long but I'm glad they seem to be doin well! I've only been here once so far but definitely top notch for me at this point and can't wait to go back. While Banh mi's are some of my favorite sandwiches, I'll definitely try the noodles and appetizers too next time. I'm personally it a pho fan, so I'll leave that up to others for review. Their Banh Mi was excellent! The baguette was nice and warm with crispy outside shell and soft/pillowy inside. The veggies were fresh, cold and crunchy. The grill pork was tender, also fresh and had good flavor. Only thing I'd do differently is get 2 next time haha...Overall we'll worth a visit!. read more

I was excited to get to try VinBun once I saw that it opened because: 1. I had a new lunch hour spot to try near my office 2. We don't have hardly any Vietnamese options on this side of town I love working in Middletown because there are so many food options, but this place is chain city... so having a cool local place like VinBun pop up is a breath of fresh air. I tried the brisket pho and it was wonderful, and you get a large portion for a good price. The staff here are very friendly and even coming in around noon, it wasn't too crazy to where I could dine in and hop out so I could get back to work. If you haven't been here yet, you need to try it! read more
