- From crunchy veggies to savory soups and grilled pork belly, you can sample the flavors of Vietnamese cuisine at Vui's Kitchen in Nashville, Tennessee.

Owner and Entrepreneur Vui Hunt says it's reminiscent of a streetside cafe in her home country.

(upbeat music) So today we're in Berry Hill at Vui's Kitchen.

Let's talk about the menu because it's amazing.

What's the most popular dish?

- I think that any time of the year, pho is a really, really popular dish.

It's like your grandma's chicken noodle soup, except this is our national dish, and we serve it over fresh rice noodles, and we top it off with a protein of choice, whether you're vegetarian or you enjoy chicken or beef.

We top it off all with the proteins, and then we top it off again with crunchy bean sprouts, and other herbs and flavors.

- So I know there's a Vietnamese sandwich that is gaining in popularity, the banh mi.

Could you tell us about the one you serve here at Vui's Kitchen?

- Our banh mi is fantastic.

Traditionally, it's made with a baguette.

Our is on a hoagie roll that we toast it really well.

It's just the best of both worlds, like a salad and sandwich in one.

Because it's filled with crunchy pickle and daikon and carrots, fresh jalapeno and cilantro and arugula and lettuce and cucumber.

I'm salivating talking about it.

I usually like it with fried eggs.

And it's just the ultimate.

- [Meg] One thing I really love about this location is your outdoor seating.

I almost feel like I can just come here and then have a picnic.

- [Vui] Actually, this space feels very Vietnam because Vietnam is very tight when you're in Saigon.

But in our spaces, there's an outdoor scene to it.

So people will sit and gather outside really stool, really close to the ground.

And our kitchen here in Berry Hill is a really a reflection of that.

- I think it's fair to say that you really represent what so many people come into the US aspire to.

What are your hopes for the immigrants of tomorrow in their dreams?

- To stay resilient, to be determined, and to never give up because there will be be people that will support them, your community, your neighbors, and people in the community who are willing to really help and support and just never give up.
