Amidst the quietude of a half-filled Nashville food hall, Vui's Kitchen stood as a savory retreat. The tranquil ambiance was only enhanced by our delightful Vietnamese feast, away from the usual clamor of a bustling market space. Each dish, from the fragrant steak pho to the impeccable ribeye bahn mi, was crafted with care, creating a mosaic of flavors that danced on our tongues. The tofu bahn mi offered a lighter, yet equally satisfying alternative, its taste and texture thoughtfully balanced. The grilled wings, dressed in a lively spicy sauce, were a flavor-packed highlight that awakened our taste buds.
Sipping on an array of teas, we found comfort in the berry's sweetness and were invigorated by the turmeric citrus' piquant flair. Their quiet excellence reflected the serene setting we dined in. Though the sight of empty booths was a poignant reminder of potential untapped, and the parking fees a slight inconvenience, these details were mere footnotes in the narrative of a lovely meal. In the calm of an unhurried space, Vui's Kitchen served up not just food, but an ensemble of vibrant...
   Read moreIâm usually not one to leave negative reviews, but after reading the lovely review Eater Nashville left I feel like I should. They ranked it as the top 20 vegetarian places to eat, and while I found their menu to be extremely vegetarian and vegan friendly I did not find the food to be worth the money I spent on it. When I ordered the bao buns I was expecting a Banh Bao and not really Gua bao, but thatâs splitting hairs. The main problem I had was that when I saw they had a vegetarian bĂĄnh mĂŹ with Lemongrass tofu, and I absolutely adore lemongrass tofu. I just knew thatâs what I wanted. When I got my sandwich I was literally so disappointed. I ordered a vegetarian bĂĄnh mĂŹ which is supposed to come with lemongrass tofu, so tell me why my bĂĄnh mĂŹ had a fried egg on it? I would not recommend this test to anyone. For Eater Nashvilleâs Top 20 Vegetarian restaurants I really wonder what food they ate, because I wouldnât rank it in my top 100. Iâm hoping my experience was a one off and this restaurant is really worth it, but if you decide to go off one review then donât go. Just go...

I can't with VIU's anymore. I always try to be positive and not leave bad reviews, but I've ordered from them 6 times in the past couple of months and my order was only correct 1 time. I have the genetic predisposition to cilantro tasting like soap/aluminum and I ask for NO CILANTRO on anything I order. I try to order items that don't come with cilantro but they somehow put it on anyway, even when I tell them I can't have it. It's not like I just don't like it, it actually ruins the meal and it becomes the only thing I can taste. I wish I loved it but it's not possible. I've wasted hundreds of dollars on this place.
Even today she said "If it doesn't come with cilantro I still write it because I know people don't like it" and yet the kitchen still puts it on. The bites I've had around the cilantro are amazing and when they got it right it was great. I think 5 times is the...
