Le Delights - Banh Mi & Pho

★★★★☆ 3.7 (171) • $$

"A hidden jem in Cordova!! First time visiting this restaurant. A Vietnamese friend recommended it to me!!We were a group of 4. Some of us ordered pho, the bang Mi sandwich and fried rice!!Everything was delicious! The sandwich (the short ribs) was really yummy. Bread super toasty. The fried rice was a big portion. 3 people could've eaten from that plate along! Also we had a soup. It was roast beef Banh Mi something. Can't remember the exact name but omg...so flavorful!! The service was decent. Only one waiter. But she really tried to be attentive and came and check many times on us!!I hope y'all give it a try!!"

Bao Toan Kitchen & Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (10)

"The vibe in here feels like you've been transported to a larger metropolitan city. It's dimly lit and beautiful inside. Would recommend reservations as they were turning people away by 8 pm. Tried several cocktails and they were all great. The house in the clouds was perfect, not too sweet. A clarified milk cocktail was also delicious at the end of the meal. Food is served "tapas style" so it is not coursed out. They will bring out whatever you order right when it's ready so I would recommend ordering a few items and then ordering more. We had the bo tai chanh, billed as a beef carpaccio. It was DELICIOUS and the star of the night.House salad was a large portion. Fresh, very good.Ma's ribs were sticky and savory. Thit kho (braised pork) would be good for someone wanting to play it safe. Overall, this place is a gem. Looking forward to returning."

Hoang Tofu

★★★★☆ 4.4 (97)

"This is down-home Banh-Mi made authentically, one of the best if not the best, in Nashville. A small mom and pop, do not expect a big greeting and someone showing you to a seat and setting you up with a napkin and silverware. Order from the pictures on the board or the photos of food on the wall. Have a seat, eat, and pay on your way out. They have various noodle bowls but the main draw for me are the sandwiches."

Paul’s Kitchen BBQ & Beyond

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"Best Brisket Pho in town. Large portions. Friendly servers. I have eaten here several times and it never disappoints. If you like spare ribs, this is your place. They are meaty and tender. Best Coleslaw I've had in a while. Give them a try, you can thank me later."

Hai's Sushi & Pho

★★★★☆ 3.9 (132) • $$

"Got takeout for work, ordered the drunken noodle with tofu, asked for spicy. Surprisingly good. Noodles at the top were a bit hard, might be because it was sitting for a while from takeout, not sure - bottom noodles were chewier. Needs to have more vegetables, tofu was slices and not cubed which was odd. Spicy was alright, not spicy enough for me but I'll just ask for spicier next time if I want it again."

Pho Saigon

"It's been raining all day and bestie wanted Pho. We were immediately seated and given menu's. He disappeared and quickly returned with waters. So , everything was delicious and we had to go boxes. I think tha chilli pepper sauce has me gone off da sauce.. im in luv wit da coco.. dats how I feel after putting a touch of it on every bite. I ordered lo mein wit shrimp, chicken and sliced beef n mixed vegetables. The mixed veggies were slightly steamed, so crisp, crunchy flavorful, down right delicious. My bestie had this huge bowl of brothy pho. It was SCRUMPTIOUS. She also had spring rolls. They looked yummy, but I was too busy eating my own food to ask for sum."

Little Saigon

★★★★☆ 3.9 (103) • $$

"3.5 - 4 stars I came here on a fluke. I wanted a Diet Coke and ended up ordering food to go. I had wanted to try the ethnic and different food Clarksville had to offer. This place was on my list.Friendly staff. I asked if I should try the squid or pork belly, the most exotic items on the menu. I love squid, so it is nice to see on a menu. She said the pork belly. I never ordered pork belly before. I noticed a lot of the food on the menu was Vietnamese or Korean. I was told the beef pho was great, so I might try that in the future.Thoughts about the pork belly:It came with steamed white rice, and it was spicy. The texture felt like soft bacon. It tasted good but not enough to order it a second time. I would try the red snapper or beef pho next. The seasoning seem similar to the Korean spicy dish of squid that I tried in a Korean restaurant. I am guessing the pork belly is a Korean dish. It is great to see a fish restaurant and market for the first time in Clarksville. I love fish a lot. I will definitely come back. I was told all the fish was deep fried. I wonder if they could steam and cook it instead. It was almost $20 for my meal and a drink. Pricing on the dishes seemed fair. The place is very clean, and the plants give it a nice charm."

"I was in town visiting my cousin and we had lunch here one day at the Hunter's Station Food Hall. I love the concept of food halls and this was one of the options there. We started with the SUMMER ROLLS: Shrimp, noodles, green leaf lettuce, arugula, carrot, cucumber, fresh mint and scallion, wrapped in soft rice paper. Served with peanut sauce. Nice flavor, lots of fresh veggies, good peanut sauce. My cousin and I both had the NOODLE BOWL with shrimp: Choice of protein, vermicelli rice noodles, green leaf lettuce, arugula, pickled daikon and carrots, cucumber, fresh mint, cilantro, fried shallots, crushed peanuts and scallion oil served with chile lime dressing. I really liked this. Lots of fresh veggies, fresh shrimp. Love the scallion oil on top, along with the peanuts. Very filling. Overall a nice spot for Vietnamese food. I would love to go back to the food hall to check out the other options."

Green Bamboo Noodle House

"I've had food here several times and each time I want it more and more. I only ever get the pho, but it's so good/fresh every time! The only time I've ever dined in was back in 2020 and they had closed the inside. We were able to sit at a few tables just outside the restaurant though, which was alright at that time. Ever since then, I've only ordered takeout to enjoy in my home (which is always packaged well). Like I said, it's always good and leaves me wanting more. My go to is usually the combo pho (different types of beef). The broth is always so light and refreshing and then of course I use the fixings to my liking. I've been wanting to try the pho tom (shrimp). Maybe one day soon, I'll try it and a few other menu items like the egg/spring rolls. Overall, I've always had a pleasant experience."

Pearl's Tea & Coffee House

★★★★★ 4.9 (10)

"We had an iced latte and a hot latte with almond milk. They have oat and almond in addition to regular milk (no soy or coconut). Also had chicken wings (naked, served with ketchup packets) and an excellent Banh Mi, which came with sauce separately. Wings came out first, hot latte took awhile. Cute spot, worth a visit! Lots of fancy tea options. Decent parking in back."

T-PHO Vietnamese Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (5)

"Best pho in the area, hands down. Broth is delicious, chicken, meatball are rare beef so good. Service is great, the guy who takes the orders is very helpful and always so nice. Great environment to add! Pho is the best on the rainy day."

Tai Lee's

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (11) • $

"Vietnamese PHO in Batesville!! I'm getting beside myself. Chinese Buffet with the addition of PHO on the weekends (as it takes several days to make). The buffet while not as big of a selection as other Chinese restaurants in town, they more than make up for it by the quality of the selections. If you've had Pho before, you know how good it is. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and try the Beef Pho.Edit - Sadly they no longer sell pho :("

Far East Nashville

★★★★☆ 3.8 (276) • $$

"Hot Mess But Decent PhoAt first it appeared they were not going to open, just have sleepy people with their socks out lounging in the dining area on their ohThey tried to seat us at a filthy table with mess and noodles stuck to it probably from the day before. Regular pho bowls are $13 and are not big bowls. The pho is good, not amazing but a good soup. 2 stars for dirty bathrooms when they just opened. I don't think cleaning is priority business here...."

"Tuyen is one of the hardest working, sweetest, business women I've had the privilege of supporting! She's always very accommodating and whipping up good eats while doing so! I've had the opportunity to chat with her a few times about her family, her journey and the current ups and downs of the restaurant business!Tonight she came to the rescue once again! I came to Memphis and got sick! I needed some soup to help aid whatever this was that was trying to take my immune system out! I asked her for some hot broth and/or whatever she had in there that was quick and easy, being that it was 7 minutes to closing! ITS SOOOOO GOOD! She packaged the broth separately from the fillings! It was packed with shrimp, surimi, thinly sliced pork, bean sprouts, fresh jalapeños, scallion, and fried garlic! Don't forget the yummy pork dumplings and noodles! I added a huge spoonful of chili crispy to spice it up a bit more! Huge bowl of pho with leftovers for the next day! It was the perfect cure! I'm stuffed and feeling a lot better! I've also tried the house fried rice, which is delicious and I've had the special spring rolls that come with all the fresh herbs and things! I've heard great things about the lemon grass tofu dish! So whether you sit in her cozy dining room or take your food to go, you're in for a treat! Go support!! You won't regret it!"

PHO KING

"First time eating there I went with my Daughter. It's a tiny little place but food was really good and the staff was very friendly. If it was so far out from where I live I would go back more often. But it's worth checking out if you get a chance"

Vietnam Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (122) • $

"Whenever I'm sick, I come here for pho and it heals me. Their menu has a wide variety of food that comes in huge, hot and fresh portions. They have the best egg rolls that I have had! The egg rolls come in portions of two, so if you're sharing with someone, you'll need to order two servings. The employees here are friendly and kind, and can recommend some good dishes if you are new to Vietnamese food."

Pho House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (33)

"Stopped by on a Friday at 8pm and there was 1 group and 1 takeaway order before us. Prices range from $7-9 for sandwiches and appetizers to $14-22 for entrees and special items. This seems to be the average for downtown. Note that this area is a little run-down and the parking lot has a tall fence. You won't want to hang around after 9pm, when the restaurant closes. The inside is simply decorated with the typical padded synthetic chairs you see at many pho restaurants including the sauces, chopsticks, and spoons on the table. You first receive a plate of greens and items to add into your soup. Afterwards, the piping hot bowls of noodles arrive. The broth has a very light flavor -- in this case, either beef or a seafood flavor depending on your order. They also add some crispy onions for extra flavor. I loved the addition of chives in my soup. If you want extreme umami or shocking flavors, you'd have to add generously with the sauces on the table. Personally, I did enjoy the light broth and pig trotter even though I was expecting a deeper flavor and a large piece of pork. The shrimp and squid definitely provided a seafood flavor to the sooOverall, the food is good and filling. The price is a bit high, but on par with other restaurants. The food tasted fresh although the additional vegetables looked a little less so."

"We were looking for a semi-healthy lunch after having indulged in BoJangles the previous day and this came up in a search, turned out to be next door to our AirBnB.The steamed gyoza, pho, and mi xiao we had were all really tasty. Service was quick and attentive. Great place to stop by for a healthy lunch or dinner if you're in the area."

"I really enjoyed the pho here! I've had the Beef Pho and the portion is smaller than what I'm used to, but felt like a refreshing meal for one person. The local kombucha they serve is Walker Brothers. Blueberry Jasmine and Cucumber Melon are a new favorite!Overall vibe was nice and the restaurant was extremely clean. Staff was super friendly. I personally don't think I'd buy pho here in the future because of the serving size, but am excited to go back and try different dishes."

Pho 4 Ever

★★★★☆ 4.1 (74) • $$

"I have eaten here a few times. I typically order the chicken pho and sometimes their veggie spring rolls. It's obvious this restaurant is run by a family. They are usually friendly, but once you order you're typically on your own. Sometimes the front staff is managing all the dining tables and they are not able to stay attentive to you. Besides that the food is always great and the wait is never too long. The vibe reminds me of a local family restaurant. Always plenty of open tables."

Pho 64

★★★★☆ 4.3 (217) • $$

"The food here is phenomenal! We attempted to go somewhere before here that was closed and decided this was the next best option. Man am I glad we did! The ambiance is a little dry and you end up a little skeptical if you should even stay, but they make up for it with the food. The service was quick and prompt, although not exactly the most friendly. I can handle the service being short and to the point for excellent food. Well worth the try!"

Sen Trang

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9)

"Pretty good place, it's kind of quiet but clean. We had the "mi thap cam" and it was hands down the most flavorful Vietnamese soup I've ever had. Broth didn't need extra toppings, super flavorful. Service is ok, not bad not great. Extremely recommended if you're midtown"

Pho Real

★★★★☆ 4 (34)

"I found this place to be quite good. The pho broth was balanced beefy. Large portion was great. I particularly liked the spring rolls and was pleasantly surprised. The meat was very tasty and had the grilled flavor. All the flavors were well balanced. I will return here again."

I Love Pho

★★★★☆ 3.8 (27)

"This was our first time here and I doubt I would ever come back. First, the service was friendly and prompt. Second, the food was pricey for the quantity, and it lacked flavor. Third, a tip was automatically added and they were very generous to themselves with my money. Restaurant was clean but nothing fantastic. I'd recommend looking for a different restaurant."

★★★★☆ 3.8 (33)

"This place is great, I have eaten Pho all over the US and this was one of the best. 4 stars cause I didn't try anything else. The atmosphere is great, service was good, price was perfect for the amount of food. If you are wanting a real deal bowl of Pho I'd give this place a shot!!"

Thai Papaya Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (160) • $$

"Not my favorite Thai restaurant. I was so excited to see a Thai menu, a Lao menu, a Japanese Menu, etc. but after tasting a number of items from the menu, it left me wishing I had gone somewhere else at least to a better Asian restaurant.I will say that the food was presented beautifully, the ambience was nice, and the service was very good. It was just the flavors that were lacking. I'm assuming that maybe it was just a bad day? But if I'm honest, I'm not sure I'd venture in again to give them another try myself in less I had a gift certificate or something.Anyway, I hate giving bad reviews of a place, but I wouldn't want someone to steer me in the wrong direction, and that's what YELP is all about anyway. Helping people to make better choices on their dining experiences!"

"So glad I saw this place had opened. They say they've been open 3 weeks. Also saw on Facebook that the owners are the same as Pho King in town. I've eaten at pho king, this place is BETTERCalamari is nice, I prefer the lower tentacles section. It was slightly chewy as well. The pho was great. The portions were HUGE. The inside is nice. Hard to believe it was once a bank. I think they may do outdoor seating eventually. Server was very helpful and on top of refills on our drinks. We will go back to try more items. I hope they succeed as I really want to make this a regular spot."
