Our name Vui Vẻ means to have fun and be happy in Vietnamese. It reflects our strong passion for culture and the spirit of community that inspires us!
All of our pho is gluten-free! We also have vegan & vegetarian options for other dishes! It is so important to us that our menu was inclusive for everyone to enjoy! 🙂
We’re a pandemic baby! We also survived a fire in August 2022!

If you’re Vietnamese and want authentic Viet food, I wouldn’t recommend this spot. I ordered Bun Bo Hue & as you see in photo, the bowl was filled with onions/cilantro. So much more than noodles! I questioned why there were little noodles and the lady said that’s their portion and the kids meal is even smaller. I took all the meat and onions out of the bowl to see how much noodles there really was & its literally one spoon full. They charged me additional $3.60 for extra noodles, then brought me “Pho” noodles instead of the bun bo noodles lol. I was still hungry after eating this, I went to another restaurant for a different meal the rice plate my man got was good though.

am i tripping or does this spot have korean flavours donning a vietnamese name tag; the banana coffee tasted like korean banana milk tipped into viet coffee, musky but rather light with a odd little grit to it. the spring roll sampler is a concept i just adore but it was definitely upstaged by the peanut sauce, more umami with just a smidge of nutty in a thick paste that was suspiciously gochujang adjacent.. the rolls themselves were fine, fresh and small but mostly just a vessel for the sauce; the shop itself was rather empty, seeming more of a take-out darling, making it a quite the cozy visit

I love this place. Get the lunch special all the time. Great size, with a drink, and the food is so good. Well seasoned tender chicken and flavorful sauces.

If you’re ever in Little Tokyo and crave something other than Japanese food. Stop by Vui Ve and try the beef Bánh mi with dip you will not regret it. Their Pho is good as well. I highly recommend it. Price is $10-$20 ..

First time to Little Tokyo. We walked around and after checking everything out decided on this spot. We were glad we did! Daughter said her rice vermicelli salad was the best she has ever had! I had Pho it was definitely in my top 3! The broth was phenomenal! My noodle were over done but I still ate that whole bowl!!!! I had the passion fruit drink it was so refreshing! We went back a second time while on our trip just to eat there!!!! Second time they were so busy with one waiter so we had some issues with getting food and drinks but we understood because it was busy with one waiter. Great place would go again

The food here is pretty good. We ordered Pho, sandwich, chicken egg rolls and vermicelli. Take awhile for the food to come out but it’s worth it. Chicken egg rolls are surprisingly taste very like pork egg rolls. Recommend this place if you want to try Vietnamese food in Little Tokyo.

Really disappointing experience. The food was quite expensive, with a whopping $14 for my bahn mi. Flavorless meat. My wife got a $15 Bun bowl that was really bad. Microwavable egg roll and just not a good flavor all around. With the amount of high quality Asian joints nearby, I do not recommend Vui Ve

Small cozy, busy and delicious place where you can have a nice bowl of pho. Finally a place where social workers from #dtla can get a hug for their souls. I love this plaza! I had the weekday special phó chín well done brisket. It’s was delicious! The weather was perfect too. 1st cold day in downtown L.A this fall. The weekday special uncles a $3 drink and egg roll. The drink I chose was the blueberry lemongrass limeade. Really refreshing.
Please note that you order 1st and then you get seated. Their menu is in the front register and on taped on the wall.

Stopped by this place by chance before they closed. Server was nice and explained how it worked (we can sit and order or order at a kiosk at the door before sitting). I got the pork belly banh mi and it came out with the little broth to dip. The French influence is clear with the spot feeling a bit like a cafe with jazzy music playing. It’s cute.
My banh mi was good. I liked that it actually had tasty pickled carrots and daikon and had the jalapeños on the side. I am more used to grilled pork, so this pork belly was different but not bad. My partner got a pho and thought it was okay. Not the best, not the worst, but good enough for the area where there’s not too much Vietnamese food.
Note: The kitchen closes 30 minutes before. Some places allow you to order up until the closing but not this one.

This review is based off a Uber Eats delivery. My order was messed up & two items I got didn’t get deliveries but overall the pho was phenomenal and the chicken egg rolls.
I ordered their Pho Rare Steak and beef brisket, along with fried chicken egg rolls, Bahn mi lemon grass chicken sandwich & sesame balls. The sandwich and sesame dessert didn’t come but don’t know whether it was restaurant or deliverers fault. Either way, I was really surprised at how delicious the pho was and it was probably too 3 I’ve ever tasted and the fried egg rolls were really good too.
I’d definitely order from here again and probably try the in dining experience because the meals were really delicious. I would of gave a 5 star if I got the rest of my order, but I highly recommend their pho.
