Pho Ba Luu

Louisville

Vietnamese Restaurant

$$$$

Seemingly all of Butchertown lines up to chow down at Pho Ba Luu, which, besides being fun to say, is a trendier-than-your-average-Asian-takeout-joint Vietnamese counter-serve restaurant. Pho Ba Luu traverses culinary regions of Vietnam on its menu; Saigon street food favorite banh mi sandwiches with beef, chicken, or tofu, are served side-by-side northern Vietnamese pho and crunchy spring rolls. The indoor industrial space allows light in through garage doors, while the outdoor patio is a sunny spot flanked with picnic tables.
