A new Vietnamese sandwich shop is staking its claim in Nolensville. Han's Deli plans to open a restaurant at 7175 Nolensville Road, with a soft opening targeted for November 16, bringing banh mi, pho and specialty drinks to the fast-growing Williamson County town.
The plans were confirmed by Anh Le, who told Williamson Source that the business already operates existing Han's Deli locations in the Nashville area. Han's Deli is known for its banh mi sandwiches, freshly made on baguettes, and the Nolensville location is expected to serve the same lineup of Vietnamese sandwiches, pho and specialty drinks found at its other shops.
Williamson County records back up the expansion timeline. A county business-license filing recorded Hans Deli under food and beverages in Nolensville on October 26, according to the same outlet's report on the county's November business-license list.
What's On the Menu
Han's Deli's existing menu gives a good preview of what Nolensville customers can expect. Beyond the banh mi, the menu includes pho noodle soups, rice dishes and spring rolls, along with bubble tea and other specialty beverages.
A 2023 profile from Main Street Media of Tennessee detailed the chain's Nashville hot chicken banh mi, made on a Vietnamese baguette, at the company's location at 5694 Nolensville Road in Nashville. That same report noted the restaurant also serves a variety of pho along with egg rolls and spring rolls. Han's Deli separately operates a Bellevue location at 7618 Highway 70 South.
A Tricky Spot for Vietnamese Restaurants
Nolensville has seen Vietnamese food come and go before. Vui's Kitchen opened its fifth location in the town in May 2023 at 7238 Nolensville Road, serving its original banh mi with lemongrass pork alongside pho, according to Williamson Source's earlier coverage of that opening. But just over a year later, the chain announced the closure of its Nolensville location, the outlet reported.
Whether Han's Deli fares differently at its new address remains to be seen, but the soft opening date gives area diners a specific day to watch. For now, the deli's plans mark another addition to Nolensville's expanding restaurant scene as the town continues to draw new business interest.
