V & V Vietnamese Cuisine

"V & V Vietnamese Cuisine is the quintessential small business family American dream in action. Come support it! Taste it! BACK AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER: Traveled back to work in Nashville and once again stopped in to warm up at super friendly resilient family business Vi's V & V Vietnamese Cuisine, the only Vietnamese restaurant option in Brentwood for people just get life and enjoy good healthy food. This time there is snow and ice and severe low temperatures setting the scene for my first bowl of the newest menu addition Vietnamese Beef Stew. This is the place where even after you've ordered , you will want to keep reading the menu to plan your next visit You have joint pain? You NEED pho in your life, more so in your tummy, with as many Accoutrements as offered. But Back to the Beef Stew, we find this dish with perfectly textured chunks of tender beef, spices, rich thick brown broth invites the handmade baguettes , run that back... yes Actual rice flour baguettes NOT from a mega baker. This alone is worth finding your way here for a Banh Mi with lemon grass tofu. I'll be returning a couple times this week because it's right next to the hotel and really there's so much that I want to try that I haven't had yet. The wonder sushi chef is now elsewhere they're focusing on developing their menu more in alignment with an authentic vibe. Don't be afraid to ask how something was had traditionally and how and what it might mean especially in context of family. In October I had an incredible sushi dinner here that's in my previous review below however today I learned that they are moving forward with some great plans. When they had opened up they had some sushi as a bridge to get to the more authentic dream of the place as they recovered from the setbacks from the last few years pandemic brought to businesses in America. V & V Vietnamese Cuisine is the quintessential small business family American dream in action. Come support it! Taste it! ORIGINAL OCTOBER 2023 REVIEW: Welcomed me from across the open well lit yet ambient space! Simply amazing hospitality. Cannot wait to eat here again. I hope they are never too busy for a conversation but as I understand it they only opened up 4 months ago in this location so it's bound to get crowded as soon as the word gets out! I'm not sure if you should expect them. Same treatment that I got because I just walked into this place and started having a grand time. Fortunately for me there were not a lot of customers when I arrived. However, soon they did get a little busy or and that's always a good sign that the food is going to be fresh. But soon I didn't worry about anything like. There was meticulous care in their cleanliness and in their food preparation area as far as I could see. The bathrooms faucets are even a little fancier than you would think. I love all of the four restaurants in this little area, but this one just blew me away today. In my pictures you'll see the deluxe sashimi however, you get a different experience in any sushi place if you were very friendly and sit at the bar and engage without being too overbearing. Lol I did have two Sapporo except perhaps I overshared with the staff, but that is the charm of a good restaurant and a good meal."

"we ordered combo pho, Vietnamese beef stew, and fine woven vermicelli with pork sausage. woven vermicelli was refreshing but I wish the fish sauce flavor is stronger in the dip. beef stew was interesting. it was sweet and buttery. I liked my pho except the soup came lukewarm. I wish it was hotter."

"The charbroiled pork on the rice noodle bowl was some of the best meat I have had from any Asian cuisine let alone Vietnamese. Their inhouse tea was also the perfect pairing to the lemon grass bun. Super friendly staff and willing to give great recommendations. Don't miss this wonderful gem"

"Tucked away in Maryland Farms, this cozy Vietnamese restaurant was a great hidden gem. Our group had the spring rolls, bao buns w/pork belly, beef pho, rice vermicelli and the chargrilled chicken rice plate. Every dish was flavorful and delicious. Service was pleasant, attentive and timely. They played a great playlist of pop divas that added to the meal! Who doesn’t like to eat with Whitney, Celine and Mariah serenading them? Check ‘em out when you can. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu."

"This is, by far, one of the most flavorful pho broth that I've eaten in restaurants. I ordered the combo with the brisket, flank, and fatty something beef. I had to ask for more Thai basil, but maybe people don't eat that much of it, but I love Thai basil. The eggrolls were nice & hot, could hardly eat it, so I let it cool down a bit. The tea was excellent, not too sweet, but sweet enough. The waitress did a great job. I will definitely be back. Not sure how long I'm here for this project, but I'll go at least one more time while I'm here."
