I first discovered Annie's about three years ago. Everything I've ever had here has been more than amazing. I would say Annie herself is one of my favorite parts of my experience here. She melts my hungry little heart with her bubbly personality and excitement to serve others her delicious food. All other bowls of pho in Louisville are inferior. Yes, I am looking at you VK.

I began going to Annie's Cafe when there was a line at the Vietnamese Kitchen but find myself driving straight to this restaurant nowadays. Maybe because it makes me feel like I am in Chinatown in NYC?? Even the bathrooms remind me of the Asian restaurants in NYC. This place has great vegetarian dishes. We started with fried tofu and peanut sauce and tofu summer rolls. Both were served with a great peanut sauce. The rolls were crisp and flavorful filled with tofu, and veggies. The fried tofu was super in the peanut sauce. For entrees we had V7. Lemongrass curry tofu with jasmine rice, V9. Stir fried rice noodles with mixed veggies and tofu in a sweet vinegar garlic sauce and V13.Coconut curry with mixed veggies in a clay pot. All were simple yet delicious. The bill for all this was just $30!! On other visits I have had the Pho which was super!! Overall, a good experience!

Went here for the first time today and had a great experience. The fried spring rolls were amazing. Ask for the lettuce and then wrap the spring roll with it before you eat it. The coconut curry was excellent as well as the beef and chicken clay pots that we got. I don't think that you can go wrong with any of those. We have a favorite Vietnamese place that we miss in IL and this one comes pretty close. Will definitely be back soon and if I lived closer then I would be a regular.

Nice place, friendly staff for certain, bigger than I expected with 20 tables or so. They have several clay pot dishes which makes them different than other restaurants, I enjoyed the cat fish clay pot which has lots of black pepper. The portions are moderate sized which is nice, one person can easily finish an appetizer and an entree. One ding they don't take American Express, sorry business travelers.

Recently we ordered sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken dinners. After calling this in, our to-go order was ready in 10 minutes. The price was right, just over $13. Since this restaurant is family owned and near my home, I would love to say I was pleased with our dinners however it was mediocre at best because the shrimp was over-breaded and the chicken was tiny 1/8 inch strips with more coating than meat. Sorry to say but the most substantial part of the meal was the fried rice and I finished my meal craving more protein!

Living in South Louisville, I have see Annie Cafe for quite some time but had never ventured in. Last week I finally did, and I was very happy with the results. On this Saturday evening, there were only a few tables occupied, so we were able to be seated immediately. The restaurant itself was larger than I expected. (It's by no means "large"--but from driving by I had imagined it to be smaller.) I haven't eaten Vietnamese food too many times before, but I tried what sounded good to me on that day, a clay pot entree--Coconut Curry Chicken (which came with a side of steamed white rice). I was very happy with the dish and definitely full from it. The service was good. I was drinking water, and they kept my glass full. The fortune cookie at the end was a nice bonus. The restaurant is casual and by no means fancy, but it exceeded my average expectations, so I give it four stars. I do not plan on waiting so long to go back. In fact, I may have to go again in the next week or so. (By the way: I parked on the street in front, but I do believe there is a lot behind and a back door you can enter.)

Their spring rolls and pho are amazing! I've grown up eating Asian food and this place is one of the best in Louisville! UPDATE! I've tried a couple of places that serve Pho and this by far is the BEST place to get Pho!!!!
(5)Haley B.
The owner is super nice. The flavors are spot on. Really good but the noodles and shrimp were over cooked. I had the vermicelli but everyone raves about the pho so maybe next time I will try that.
(4)Stella E.
To start off with, the ragoo was amazing and the waiter was very nice. But that is all I have to say that is nice. The first thing that I noticed about this restaurant was that everything was sticky. They had plastic chop sticks on the table in a very dirty looking container. Also the things in the middle of the table holding the soy sauce and such looked disgusting. They really need to be wiped down. The food as okay, no the best I have had. I got some noodle bowl with cut up egg rolls on it. All tho I enjoyed the egg rolls everything else was lacking flavor.

I was in the neighborhood to have vietnam kitchen. It was closed, so my husband said, why not try Annie's Cafe! I was too hungry and I didn't care where I was eating at that point. So the place was medium sized. They had maybe 15-20 tables. There were about 10 parties inside the restaurant when we went, and more than half the available tables had dirty dishes/half eaten food on it. I think the place is short staffed and they didn't have the time to clean up the place. It was kinda gross to say the least. The cashier was prompt in giving me the menu, but I had to constantly flag down someone to get any attention. The food was good, but not good enough for me to come back. Both my husband and I ordered the pho. The soup had flavor, but it could be stronger. I'm asian so I'm used to the heavy flavors. Overall, the experience was okay. I don't live close to this place so I wouldn't wanna come back here. If I lived nearby, I would. Oh yeah.. I also ordered the deep fried eggrolls. They were okay. Def had better.
(3)Ben H.
I like Annie's Cafe, no doubt. Haven't had anything I didn't like yet over multiple, multiple visits. The Pho is my go-to and the curry is good, too. Super nice people!!
(4)The Most Interesting Man In The W.
The avocado smoothie was good. I asked for little sugar and it was perfect. The spring rolls were okay. They were missing pork and bean sprouts. As for the entrees the cook here has a serious sweet tooth. Seriously I had to wring the entire line into the pho. We also got the vegetarian coconut curry that everyone recommended and was severely disappointed. I had to ask for extra lemons and dump a bunch of fish sauce into the curry for it to be edible. If you want Vietnamese go to Vietnam Kitchen. The only reason we came here was because Vietnam Kitchen was closed.

It had been many years since I had been to Annie's and I have to admit upfront that I'm a long-time VK (Vietnam Kitchen) fan. A friend and I were headed to a concert at Iroquois Amphitheater on Thurs and wanted a filling dinner beforehand. With VK closed for vacation, I suggested going to Annie's. Entering from the back parking lot, you walk right past the kitchen and station with dirty dishes. As with most restaurants, I don't want to ruin the magic so I walk fast. We sat at one of the worn, but comfortable booths that line the sides of the room and ordered limeades to hydrate while making our selections. The menu is a bit smaller than some other local, Vietnamese restaurants, but has all the favorites - spring rolls, clay pots, pho, vermicelli bowls, banh mi. We started with shrimp spring rolls and crab Rangoon. The pair of spring rolls ($3.50) served with satay or peanut sauce were large and fresh. Maybe too large for the amount of shrimp inside? Crab Rangoon (also $3.50) was crispy, cheesy, fried goodness. I knew this morning that I'd be getting Bun Tom Nuong ($8.50). Eight, grilled shrimp with lemongrass and sesame oil in a vermicelli bowl. The regular ingredients - lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber, cilantro, noodles - were all there. The sauce is at Annie's is slightly different than I'm used to but still good. The shrimp were large and grilled perfectly. They could've use a stronger marinade however. The veggies and herbs in the bowl weren't chopped small enough in my opinion. I also missed the peanuts (there were only a few) and mint/ basil found elsewhere. My friend loved everything about her ginger garlic beef in a clay pot ($9) served with white rice. While I'm not a convert, I do think the friendly folks at Annie's Cafe offer a solid array of affordable and tasty food from Vietnam and China.

Ate here today. Early lunch. One other customer. I ordered War Su Gai meal. It was not good. Disappointed. The chicken was pounded thin? Breading was bad (crust). The gravy was a very thin brown broth with little taste that saturated the whole platter. The fried rice was mundane. The egg roll was ordinary. I can't believe I did not return the meal for a substitute. Price was reasonable 6.50. Service was good. I shall try the place again soon. Maybe my lousy meal was a fluke.
(2)Lauren D.
Nom! Every time I come here I am rewarded within an amazing dinner. The flavors are clean and well balanced. Spice is a flavor here, not a punishment. Here's what I love: Vegetarian/vegan options are clearly labeled and expertly executed. You won't experience flavorless food! The spring rolls are fantastic with the savory peanut sauce. It's in a sweet little area. The service is great! And the flip side: My compatriot in flavor exploration said that the fried rice was salty. I tasted and agreed. I also noted that it was dry. The coconut curry (a personal favorite) could have a bit more sour and salt (according to another taster). However, I'm in love with this place and nothing could make me shy away from the oh so flavorful pho!

When I have the opportunity to step away for a moment, I relish it. It doesn't happen often, definitely not enough, and usually a break means taking the boys to McDonalds. So a Sunday afternoon and an invitation for an adventuresome respite was more than welcome if not needed. What began as a stop for my favorite coffee (Sunergos), continued with a visit next door to Annie's. It was not my first time there but during my first, I was left wanting. Something was missing. But I chalked that up to simply being a Vietnamese-food virgin. By simply adding one ingredient, a very complex one sure, but one nonetheless, I was sure all that would change. Lunch/dinner is better with two after all. Plus, it offered me the opportunity to sample far more on the menu than I could've possibly done on my own. On to the appetizers... Goi Cuon (summer rolls) and Steamed Dumplings. Now, Goi Cuon are basically like raw eggrolls, a completely new experience for both of us. At least I think it was. I was far less experienced at eating one than my partner who seemed to manage it stunningly well. The shrimp is cooked but the softened rice paper is, ummm, rubbery, and simply a texture I couldn't manage. So, that's a pass. The steamed dumplings, or potstickers without the sear, were melt in your mouth fantastic though. Next!! Entrees E7, E24 & E27. Or Bun Thap Cam, Com Bo Xa Ot and Com Chien Duong Chau. Catch all that? Good, because it's just a mouthful to explain it completely. We liked E27 (curry beef over steamed rice) but could've used a little more sauce. E7 (noodles) and E24 (fried rice) just seemed... bland. Finally, Annie is simply charming. It was a nice plus to be served by the owner and I appreciate a place that literally stands behind its name. A star for that alone. All in all, a great adventure (every one is excellent, mishaps and all) but a restaurant that left me simply wanting something a little more. P.S. Remove the poop vein on the shrimp (fried rice.) I know it won't kill me but it's kind of disgusting.

I went to Annie's for lunch because Vietnam Kitchen was closed. I had heard good things about Annie's, so my expectations were high. What a TOTAL disappointment! We ordered a few appetizers to start. The crab rangoon was horrid - it was wet with oil and loaded with black pepper, the steamed dumplings had very little flavor, the spring rolls had two shrimp halves in the very end, with nothing but noodles and lettuce in the middle. I ordered the combination fried rice on the recommendation of a friend, and it was greasy and was overpowered by black pepper. We won't return.

Love this place! Consistently good food, quiet atmosphere for dinner, and great prices! My husband and me have been eating here for years.

I think that I may not actually care for Vietnamese food. This is the second time I've tried it (from different places) and I didn't care for it. I don't think it had to do with the restaurants (both times I was with people who love Vietnamese ) because my groups all loved their food. Overall I found my dish to be too sweet tasting which was my same problem the first time when I had gotten a completely different dish. The food seemed very fresh and as I said my group loved their dishes. The employees were very friendly and the salted limeade was the best thing ever. I mean like ever! Even though I've determined I probably just don't care for Vietnamese food I'd go back to Annie's for that salted limeade! I feel three stars is fair, I didn't want to blame them just because I'm not a Vietnamese fan.
(3)Megan F.
Overall tasty Vietnamese food, perfectly crisped tofu, flavorful sauce and fresh greens. I think I'm still partial to Vietnam Kitchen as my top choice Vietnamese in the area though. Anyway, I perked up immediately when I saw the section devoted to vermicelli noodle dishes that in italics underneath read a line stating I'd be able to expect cilantro, peanuts, bean sprouts, and scallions! Yes! This is exactly the lineup I'm looking for at a Vietnamese restaurant but sometimes it goes unsaid as to whether they'll be present on dish and I just have to be happily surprised if the dish I order comes with it. I know these extras seem like minutia but I have a huge obsession for the flavor combo of these things together on one plate. So, I understand many dishes have loads of ingredients, but if some dishes are going to mention all ingredients then why do other dishes only have a partial list of ingredients, like the vegetarian vermicelli noodle dish I ended up ordering which is under the vegetarian section on the back of the menu and does NOT say it includes my beloved cilantro, peanuts, etc. combo? Luckily the friendly server assured me those fixings came with my vegetarian dish too and indeed they did. Phew! Ok, last thing about the menu, it would be great if it was mentioned in the menu when a dish is hot or cold. It's all about what you order here and unfortunately with a slightly confusing menu, that means it's all about asking one or two key questions to figure out which dish on the menu that you want...unless of course you're in an open to anything kind of mood or, on second thought, I guess just way less crazed over details than I am :)

I went to Annie Cafe last night about 20 minutes before closing. I felt like I wasn't greated like I was suppose to. Most places that I go to, I am greated first, not the other way around. However, that is not of my main concern. I don't expect much especially since I'm an out-of-towner. I'm from California so ordering Asian food from some where other than my comfort zone scares me. Anyways, moving on. I ordered four dishes & review of the dish as follows: 1. Beef Fried Rice: It's not the traditional fried rice that you would normally eat at a Chinese restaurant. Texture, look & taste is extremely different. The dish is extremely salty. It taste like they literally drowned it in soy sauce, and on top of it added salt. That's how salty I thought it was. Granted my salt/sodium intake is extreme all time low, even if my intake was normal, this dish is still way too salty. It barely has any meat in it and the beef was kinda chewy. So I don't recommend anyone ordering this dish unless they're looking for something extremely salty. 2. General's Chicken: I did not eat this dish, but my friend did. I got to see what the dish look like and it seem pleasing however the portion was definitely on the low side & not worth the price I paid for. It came with rice and one egg roll. I guess it can be worth it, although I was really expecting a bigger portion. 3. Sweet & Sour Chicken: I didn't eat this dish either. My same friend at this dish. He ate this one first & General's Chicken second. If he had to eat both dishes, it means the portions wasn't big enough. I understand not a lot of people can eat a large portion, but keep in mind we're both not from here & we're both use to left overs, not over eat. He said the S&S Chicken was good and was glad the S&S was on the side as he didn't like the over powering taste of the sauce. However he did bring up that there were more tomatoes than there was chicke. Again, portion control sucks. 4. Garlic sauce with vegetables over jasmine rice. This was really good. I enjoyed it. Although the sauce was a little over-powering, yet still good in a way. I just there was a little more white rice with the portion. They were generous with the veggies, but lack of the rice. All-in-all, this place is decent, however they do need to work on portion control. I did order all my items to go. I paid a decent price, I guess I expected too much when I shouldn't have. I think as a Vietnamese place, they should stick with what they're good with and not add another culture even if a couple dishes were good. I would recommend this place, however... I think I might still explore while I'm visiting.

Annie Cafe isn't an upscale place, but it is family owned and the service is excellent. If you get Annie herself to wait on you, you'll be in for an enjoyable experience. They have a great location in the South End, on Woodlawn Ave. between 3rd and Southern Pkwy. This is one of the only areas around there that has storefronts the way they should be. Packed together and right off the street. The Pho is delicious, and a great thing to perk you up if you are feeling sick. The fresh spring rolls are also really good, and the staff (family) can recommend other dishes depending on your tastes. If I had one knock against them it would be that they have a poor beer selection. Honestly I consider Annie's to be more of a lunch place so that doesn't bother me as much as maybe it would others. I love Annie Cafe; It's delicious, affordable and has great character once you get over the quirks.
(5)Mr And Mrs G.
MR says ... pho is good! MRS says ... food is good enough to satisfy any craving but i think need to improve on the portions. quality of food is acceptable. we enjoyed the skewered beef even though its small in size. i still prefer vietnam kitchen's avocado shake because they have pearls. no doubt Annie Cafe offers heart warming soup ~ they do have good pho broth. i opted to have the vermicelli which pleases my hunger though would have loved to have a much loaded bowl. i wasn't disappointed with the fried tofu with mixed veggies. i enjoyed it as a side dish to fill my stomach after being short on the bowl of vermicelli. given a choice, i'll drive a little down the street to vietnam kitchen. they have a lot more variety and generous portions than Annie Cafe... but i would definitely miss out on the skewered beef which is really good!

If you like good Vietnamese food, this is the place in Louisville to go. While Vietnam Kitchen down the street has a larger following menu and bigger fan following, that doesn't necessarily make it better. Service at Annie Cafe is always good, which is nice to be able to count on. The cafe sua is the best in the city, and the food is almost always perfect. Really the only thing to be leery of is on occasion when I've ordered it, the tendon and/or tripe in the Pho Bac Diet can be a bit underdone. It doesn't ruin the flavor but the texture suffers a lot and you might spend all day trying to chew it if you don't know any better. The salt and pepper shrimp are killer and yes, the whole thing, shell, tail, and all can be eaten, and I personally would highly recommend at least trying it.
(4)Troy W.
Another visit. Still nice, but could be better. It's a great "whole in the wall" type of cafe in a great neighborhood. I would give 4 stars based on the large menu selection and taste of the food. I'm deducting 1 star because the service is a little robot-like. Not sure if it is a language barrier or not. My party was given menus, served, and paid the bill all with no more than a total of ten words from the entire staff. No smile either. (A smile goes a long way.) It was not poor, but cold. I'll probably return again. The location is convenient for me and there are a few more menu items I'd like to try. I recently started a vegetarian diet and there are a good handful of veggie items to try.

I had one lunch here with my parents, the food was good and the prices reasonable. My lemongrass beef was suitably spicy and flavorful and my parents were happy with their noodle dishes. The dumplings as appetizers tasted very much like the ones I buy frozen at the Asian market but served with a good dipping sauce so ok. I'll probably return since I was pleased though not overly impressed. Plus, the Iroquois /3rd st area has a dearth of sit-down restaurants so it stands out a little better than it might in the Highlands or Frankfort Ave. But I gotta comment based on the two most recent reviews by Adam B and Yoko O-- considering that both have only 2 reviews each, one of which praises Annie's and one of which trashes Vietnam Kitchen-- I have to wonder if they are connected to Annie's? Or disgruntled employees of VK? So while I hate to comment on a restaurant in another's review, I have to say I give Vietnam Kitchen 4 stars. It is priced a little higher than Annie's but the menu has a larger variety, including some more Vietnamese specialties that I like. And yes, I've been to Vietnam.

One of my absolute favorite spots in all of Louisville. While the decor may be dated, the food at Annie Cafe is outstanding! From traditional noodle dishes, to the steaming Pho, I've never had a bad meal at this restaurant. My wife and I eat here almost two or three times a month and have always enjoyed both the food and the privacy of the restaurant. It is very quiet and a bit off the beaten path, but not so far that you shouldn't try the amazing food for yourself. For first timers I'd recommend either one of the noodle dishes, or the Lemongrass Beef (or Chicken) The flavor is very unique, quite spicy, and will leave your mouth very satisfied. I love the portions at Annie Cafe and always feel like I'm getting a great deal. My wife and I can both have appetizers and a main course and eat for under $20 with tip! Lately, I've fallen for the Pho. You can't beat a steaming bowl of the National dish of Vietnam on a cold winter evening. I especially like all of the toppings that are included with your soup (the basil and cilantro really add a kick to an already wonderful dish). I've been to three other Vietnamese places in town, and while each restaurant is not bad, Annie stands out above the rest.
(5)M Y.
We love Annies and visit about once a week for lunch. She has a great beef based Pho with ton's of flavor, fresh vegetables. My work spouse loves the Tofu Pho and our other partner in crime is a fan of just about every other soup offered on the menu. I prefer Annies over Vietnam Kitchen for the following reasons: faster service during lunch (I don't have 40 minutes to wait for Pho Vietnam Kitchen!), they serve fresh veggies ALL the time (Sorry, Vietnam kitchen, the veggies you served me last time were on their way to the compost bin :\. Gross! ) And the tables are much cleaner at Annie's, too!
(5)Ray G.
Not taking away from Vietnam Kitchen, but Annie's Cafe is a little better and their avocado shake is much better! The best restaurant soup I have ever had is available here; The V4! (Northern Vietnamese Noodle Soup with Tofu) Although I'm not a vegetarian, I do eat vegetarian frequently and they do have plenty of vegetarian friendly entrees and appetizers. Great prices and great service.
(5)Jeff S.
Meh ... i had high expectations going to this "vietnamese" place and was extremely disappointed. We had tried to go back to vietname kitchen which was closed so we headed here. The first thing was the sauces. Crispy rolls came with a standard chinese sweet and sour sauce and fresh rolls came with some sort of vinager based sauce instead of the peanut sauce i was hoping for. Okay - so maybe they do things differently - lets order some "extra spicy" curry and some other dish. The curry was very flavorful but my grandmother could eat it with out any problem and the other dish was pretty terrible. I overheard the server telling another customer that they didn't have one dish because his grandmother was out of town and she was the only person who made it so maybe i just went there on a bad day but all and all the food was somewhere between bad and average. I'd say away from this place if i were you.
(2)David L.
Without even rating the food,,, The service was horrible. The waiter had a attitude for no reason. You could tell its family ran and that he hated his job and took it out on the customers. The front of the house is going to kill that place..... I have never experienced any kind of service like that before. I would recommend finding another place to eat. Very disappointed.
(1)Emily Y.
2 1/2 stars. It was ok, but not that impressed. The beef pho was tasty, and a decent amount of meat was included, but I wish there were more noodles. The traditional bahn mi was also pretty tasty, but the bread could have been crispier, and my husband didn't care for the pate . . . although I liked it. Also, instead of typical hot pepper slices, a tangy-sweet hot chili sauce was used instead. Again, I liked it, but husband did not. The downside is that you can't take the hotness off if you want it mild. Also, at $5/bahn mi, I still much prefer da lat's (which sells theirs at $3). The spring rolls were spring rolls, and the crag ragoons were too hard. Husband ordered some spicy beef clay pot dish though that was tasty--though small portion.
(3)Huntting B.
Pretty good. Not great. The summer rolls were tender and the innerds yummy! But! There were two half shrimps per roll, no pork or mint. Fish sauce was basic but ok, no pepper flakes in it. Pho was ample in size. Lacking in noodles though. Also the meat is cut way too thick for my taste. The broth is the most "meaty" tasting in the city though! So if u like thicker meat or get it not on the side this might be the best pho tai in town. The tea is a buck o fi. The coffee was OK but the coffee itself tasted a little burnt and off. They must not be using the standard folgers in a can... People in the know enter from the back of the building it seems. Annie is a real person, she cooks your food. Respect!
(3)espen m.
This as as good as Vietnamese food gets in Louisville. Like some previous reviewers have said, Vietnam Kitchen is almost as good and has a much more extensive menu so if you're going with a huge group they might be the smarter choice. However if all you're concerned about is getting the best pho in town (and possibly getting a delicious banh mi as an appetizer or to take with you afterward) or other Vietnamese mainstays, I cannot recommend Annie Cafe enough. They don't serve alcohol and the decor is a bit cheap so not an ideal date restaurant unless the person you're bringing is a serious foodie. Service has always been casual (in a good way) and attentive. Like I said, can't recommend this place enough.
(5)Thomas C.
Annie's has the feel of an authentic Pho joint - the type I grew familiar with living in Seattle. It is very comforting to walk in to this non-strip mall hole-in-the-wall and see quaint decor, chopsticks and sauces on every table, and Asian families eating lunch. The fresh spring rolls are excellent and the prices for both the apps and the Pho are exactly what they should be: cheap. The pho itself was not bad. I wish I could be more praiseworthy, but the broth was simply too watery to be rated higher. On a positive note, the beef was tender, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the veggies were fresh and abundant. If this place were in my neighborhood, I'd be there often. However, I wouldn't make a special trip here from elsewhere. I'll keep the search alive for Louisville's best pho.
(3)Matt K.
Really good food and cheap. No complains here.
(4)Natalie C.
This was the first place we went to eat at when we moved to KY. We wanted to satisfy our pho craving. This was a huge disappointment. Based on the other reviews we thought this place would be good. WRONG. Pho was small and there wasn't much meat. There was also meat in there that we didn't recognize - it looked dark and bulb like - we didn't even eat it. The broth seemed like there was a lot of msg in it too. The mint and bean sprouts that came with the pho were not fresh - all wilted. Also got the vermicelli with pork and fried spring rolls. The spring rolls were soggy - as if it was left over from lunch time or earlier. Pork was hard and chewy. The avocado shake did not taste like avocado at all. basically will not be coming here anymore and will stick to getting pho back in ca. if this is supposedly the best place for pho isn louisville, we are definitely out of luck.

My family including a 3yr old had a great time. Nice family friendly fare. Next to a Sunergos coffee for after dinner option.
