Vietnam Kitchen

The 18 Best Restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky | Eater

"Price Range: $$ Derby City’s longest-standing Vietnamese restaurant is tucked into a south Louisville strip mall. Founded in 1993 by Vietnamese immigrant Alex Lam, the nondescript spot features a wide ranging menu with plenty of vegetarian options. Try the K8, or hu tieu sa-te, a spicy bowl featuring rice noodles in a broth infused with lemongrass, broccoli, bean sprouts, and peanuts. The owners are planning to retire soon, so get your favorites while you can. Know before you go: Most folks order using the menu numbers rather than the dish names." - Lennie Omalza
