Mouthwatering Vietnamese in New Orleans

Lilly's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (954) • $$

"Very good and reliable food that comes out quickly with happy service- I don't eat meat and find so many options here I like the tofu & vegetable bun (vermicelli bowl)- the shrimp dumping soup is also a great choiceIf you crave ginger- serious ginger - get the ginger tea (it'll knock a few bugs out of you too )"

Mopho

★★★★☆ 3.9 (924) • $$

"Can't say enough good things about MoPho - an excellent example of fusing Southern and Asian food styles to create something unique and delicious. The table tried several dishes, and all were excellent: the Hangover Pho ($17), Shrimp and Grits ($21), Crispy Chicken Vindaloo Sandwich ($17), and the Glazed Pork Belly Bowl ($16). You will be most happy with any of these. We also tried two buns, the Creole Tomato Bun ($10) and the Brisket Buns ($11). Delicious, and the Brisket was amazing. Service was friendly, attentive and fast (Thank You, Dorothy, Great Job!). The restaurant was clean, modern, casual and comfortable, with indoor and outdoor / patio seating. Restrooms were clean and stocked. Overall, A greafun and relaxing Dining Experience. Five well-deserved Stars."

"One word Delish!! I live here but it took my company from California to find this spot. Get the shrimp. Oh so good"

Mint Modern Vietnamese Bistro & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (504) • $$

"This place is awesome!! My husband wanted to try their Spicy Beef Pho so we came while our son was out with grandma at the parade route. We started with the $7.50 Bacon and Cream Cheese Wontons which were tasty - not loaded with bacon but just enough to get that salty kick. I was especially happy because the whole goal for food today was to get something I wanted (which was more breakfast than anything) and to get what my hubby wanted (which was more lunch since he's not a big breakfast guy.) THIS IS THE ONLY VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT that I've EVER SEEN with chicken and waffles AND steak and eggs on their menu!! So this was perfect for us!! The steak was thin and in a sweet glazey sauce, came with onions and a large amount of cilantro on top. The eggs with that was totally worth the $16 price tag. It came with a loaf of French Bread that I couldn't even touch cuz I was already full from eating everything else. I also ordered a Thai Tea which they actually make in Boba Tea style. I wasn't used to that so I tried to drink the Boba Tea but ended up asking them to remake it without the Boba and they did with no hesitation so the service was great. It has a cute bar area with 2 TVs and a full bar with a wine wall rack full of wine on the corner. We got there at the right time because all these patrons with their cute kiddies started coming in for lunch so they are kid friendly. Will definitely be back!!"

Pho Michael

★★★★☆ 4.3 (360) • $$

"I read the reviews and was a little worried. But I had a truly great dining experience when I visited Pho Michael. I was later than expected getting to New Orleans so I was hungry. Once I got settled in, I looked at Yelp for a recommendation to eat. I was near so many great places to dine but Pho Michael won, despite the negative reviews. I was greeted warmly when I entered and allowed to pick where I sat. The feel inside was interesting, as Michael Jackson was playing but the decor reminded me of an Asian restaurant. It was clean though. I ordered a sweet tea which they add a sweetener when you order it. I won't get this again. I ordered the spring rolls with shrimp, which many reviews called them small. These rolls were so big they could almost serve as an entree. They tasted so fresh and the peanut sauce accompanied them well. For my main dish, I ordered the pho with filet mignon. It's one of their popular dishes so I figured it would be okay. When they placed a steaming hot bowl of pho in front of me, I knew I had a made a solid decision. I added a tad of hoisin sauce along with the sprouts, basil and jalapeños. The beef broth was sooooooo good as well. Only regret I had was a smaller portion wasn't offered. I ordered the smallest size available but it was so much. I tried to eat it all but couldn't lol. Service was top notch, as my server and another gentleman checked on me but didn't hover. This is a place I would visit again no matter where in New Orleans I stay."

Pho Tau Bay Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (408) • $$

"The best Vietnamese I have found in New Orleans so far. Parking stinks but it's up the street my where ILive so I can walk if I feel like it. Food is really yum!"

9 Roses

★★★★☆ 4.1 (296) • $$

"Wow my last review is almost 11 years old! 9 Roses is still one of the OG Vietnamese restaurants in the GNO. I LOVE the chao tom (shrimp paste on sugarcane skewers) and you build your own wrap at the table. They also have a few Chinese favorites. Plus good vegetarian options. Service is good and the restaurant is always clean and the parking lot is easy to navigate. Accessibility for those in wheelchairs is also good."

Pho NOLA

★★★★☆ 4.1 (284) • $

"If you get a chance, do not pass this gem up. Nice modern bistro with really great Vietnamese food. Service is great and the local vibes were chill. Great rice specials and tasty pho. I am beyond obsessed with their Strawberry Boba"

Bao

★★★★☆ 4.1 (257) • $$

"Bao is a solid four star experience. The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping plaza that offers plenty of parking. They have a nice outdoor dining space and the inside is spacious.I sat at the bar. It was a dimly lit and quiet. I settled in and ordered the spring rolls and the pho ga. The spring rolls came out right away and they were fantastic!The pho didn't come out FOR A WHILE. The waitress was very apologetic which I appreciated but it definitely put a damper on the overall experience.When the pho came out it was a great portion. It was good pho and well worth the price. If I were going to be in town again, I would probably consider stopping in for another meal."

Rolls N Bowls

★★★★☆ 4.1 (214) • $$

"Quite possibly the best pho I've ever had? This place is amazing! We ordered the chicken pho with dark meat, and the flavors were out of this world. I like my food spicy so I requested & added chili oil to it, and it was just next level good. My daughter loved her kids size chicken pho as well (she's a picky eater so I was happy to see her eat this without complaining!). Definitely worth a try!"

Pho Cong Noodles & Grill

★★★★★ 4.9 (146)

"Always great pho. We come here often for lunch. Brisket pho is my go to. Add veggies."

Viet Orleans Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (240) • $$

"The service was good, fast, and the atmosphere was fantastic. After being in loud and hot restaurants, this one was refreshingly quiet and cool.The fish all tasted very fresh, I had both salmon and tuna sushi. The cucumber I got on the first veggie roll I had was bitter, but they checked their supply, cut a fresh cucumber, and remade it no problem. You can see them as they make the food.The thai tea was so delicious and had that lovely warm spice flavor, it was perfect for the hot day. It is in a perfect location within walking distance to many downtown hotels and I would recommend it for a quick lunch or drink."

TD Seafood & Phở House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (180) • $$

"My mom wasn't feeling well so I suggested we get pho because it usually makes me feel better when I'm sick. I decided to give this restaurant a try after a friend recommended it. It's tucked away at the end of the strip near Walmart. As we entered we were greeted by the cashier who seemed to be running the restaurant. There were two other tables occupied which seemed like regulars. The restaurant was a decent size and was clean. I ordered voodoo eggrolls as an appetizer. It consisted of crawfish, sausage, and cheese. There wasn't much filling in the eggrolls. I wasn't a fan of the taste either. The cashier later asked how did I like the eggrolls and mentioned that they were a new item. It tasted like maybe mint was thrown in it. My mom and I both ordered brisket pho. The broth was bland and we didn't much brisket. The service was good but the food was just okay."

Pho Bistreaux

★★★★☆ 4.2 (186) • $$

"I always enjoy eating here. Food is great, hot, and in good portion sizes! The smoothies are great too!!!"

Kim Anh's Noodle House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (150) • $

"Strip mall food at its finest! It's a medium sized Vietnamese restaurant that has exceptional food and does a brisk business. Service is efficient. The ambiance is not fancy. But, the food - the food! The crab Rangoon has crab and comes with a delicious mild chili sauce, which is far superior to the sweet and sour sauce most places provide. The big highlight is the grilled shrimp summer rolls. They are filled with fresh cucumber, carrot, vermicelli, and fresh grilled shrimp with a perfectly balanced bit of fresh mint. It comes with a lightly spicy peanut sauce. Might want to ask for extra peanut sauce."

Nudo

★★★★★ 4.5 (124) • $$

"Whenever I'm in Metairie, a stop at Nudo is a must. Every dish on the menu is mouthwatering, but I can't resist starting with the Nudo Fusion wings--currently ranking in my top 5 favorite wings of all time. I also always stick with the Shaken Beef, which never fails to impress with its bold and savory flavors. The Spicy Beef Pho is an indulgent side that I usually enjoy by the spoonful, and it's a testament to the culinary magic happening in their kitchen. The service here is always exemplary--patient, attentive, and accommodating, especially when I need to take my soup to go. (A process I admittedly struggle with!) A heads-up: the restaurant is cozy and tucked away in a parking lot with limited spaces, so plan accordingly."

Banh Mi Boys

★★★★☆ 4.3 (134) • $$

"We had just made it into town..... it had been a long day so we decided to door dash. The food arrived quickly. It was very tasty and well plated especially for a ride across town to the hotel! He got the K town Fries and I got the Loco Moco. I wish there had been some black pepper with the utensils for the gravy but honestly the mix in mine of the egg spam and meat was fantastic alone I just really like a little more spice. Also got the wontons which were fabulous!"

Jazmine Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (177) • $$

"Jazmine Cafe will always have a special place in my heart. It was one of the first, if not the first, Vietnamese restaurant in the Uptown area before Vietnamese restaurants began to boom throughout New Orleans. Jazmine Cafe has been introducing Vietnamese cuisine to the area in their own way and style. Being here for at least 15 years, Jazmine Cafe continues to serve delicious food with their extensive menu and unique spring rolls. Even during throughout COVID-19, they were battle tested to make sure their customers were well fed and happy!Service is usually great and the staff is very friendly. From pho, spring rolls, and to even poke bowls, you will always find something to satisfy your cravings. You can always count on Jazmine to give you delicious, filling Vietnamese food!"

Fusion Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (125) • $$

"We love this owner and operated business! Long is very good with his prices never he never likes to see a person wait and if you do, you're definitely gonna be offered a drink of! He has a combination of sushi for the menu goes on and on!thank you for you Kindness Long, Vinnie's Pharmacy"

August Moon

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (183) • $$

"First time here but It was a good mealEgg drop soup, is silky and delicious. Smoothe butter creamy flavor. I normally add more so sauce for testing this before I put salt or pepper or soy sauce.I did add a few drops and This really good.I tried one of those work steam dumplings in a grabbed it was super tasty I recommend trying at least one dumpling in the egg drop soup. Soy sauce for me is great but this allows for a less salty alternative. I got the chicken low mein and it was cooked nicely a few pieces of chicken were chewy but over all the dish had good flavor and texture.I am not a mushroom person so next time I will need to remember to ask for no mushroom. They ingredient are stated on the menu that was my mistake. The mushroom were cooked to a good tenderness. The egg roll that comes with the meal was not my favorite egg roll recipe but other may like this style."

Pho Bang

★★★★☆ 4.1 (117) • $$

"Authentic Vietnamese food in a homey setting conveniently located on Vets in Metairie. My favorite is definitely the Bun Bo Hue beef soup--I could take that broth in a to-go cup and drink it anywhere!"

Moon Wok

★★★★☆ 3.6 (150) • $

"Great Chinese food in the quarter. The service is A+++. Bao is the best. This place is a nice little "secret" of the French Quarter but if you're looking for something different to eat in downtown besides the typical New Orleans cuisine, definitely check this place out. Can't wait to go back."

Drunken Fish

★★★★☆ 3.7 (129) • $$

"We were craving sushi for lunch and decided to give Drunken Fish a try! It is right by campus, so it was close, and there was no wait when we went around 12.The waitress was amazing. There are lunch specials, but we didn't know that only 4 pieces of sushi came with the lunch special. The lunch special was sushi with soup or salad and it was $13. We both decided on something else since we wanted more than 4 pieces of sushi. I got the margarita roll with a salad and my friend got the bento box. My roll was amazing and had 8 pieces... I ate the entire roll and was pretty full after. My salad was soaked in dressing, so it was eh ok. My friend asked for more dressing and there is a .50 cent upcharge! His bento box looked good, but it was a bunch of raw fish on there so that's not my cup of tea. My one roll was $18 for lunch, which I thought was expensive. The food was god, service was great, and food came out fast."

Luv Pho Food

★★★★★ 4.5 (85) • $$

"I'll be honest, eating viet food outside of California has always been underwhelming. But boy, was this place good! It gave the California fusion flavors with the Louisiana twist.Got the killer Poboy, Thai chili wings, pho, mangonada and more.Highly recommend it."

Pho Grace Vietnamese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (89) • $$

"Ordered beef pho and Vietnamese tacos, very tasty. Staff really nice. Also stopped by during king cake season, staff also really nice. I will definitely be back"

Pho Bang Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (98) • $

"No frills, honest meal perfect for a day after drinking. I could eat pho every minute of the day, and this place did not disappoint. Big portions, quick service, and very affordable to boot. Kind of a random strip-mall location when compared to other places near downtown/the convention center, but worth the trek for what feels like authentic Viet food (they have non-noodle options too! Like rice plates and apps)."

Bo Tea Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (92) • $$

"Do you pho? This is a new try for me and highly recommend. Love me a good spring roll, pho, pad Thai moment. Ordered all of the above and would order again next time. Grilled Chicken Spring Rolls and Steak Egg Rolls were very tasty and large. I would almost dare to say a meal for one. But who does that these days? Not me. We also got the Special Pad That which came with Chicken, Steak and Shrimp. Very good and I actually appreciated it not being too saucy. You can choose to add more sauces and there were a ton to chose from. Lastly we went with the Beef Meatball Pho. Meatballs were a little too firm for my liking and different from other Pho spots I have visited. Broth was delish though and you get a TON of bean sprouts, basil and noddles on the side. Ordered through DoorDash and was ready fast and under 30 minutes. I have not been inside yet but have driven past and it's very bright and nice."

Doson Noodle House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (113) • $$

"Ordered the Bun vermicelli noodles and shrimp and it was great. A friend ordered the pho and it was great as well. Always a good option if you want some Vietnamese delivery."

Ba Chi Kitchen And Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (50)

"So amazing!! The food here is top tier. And the new location is Metairie has really cool interior decor. I'm on a mission to try everything on the menu. So far nothing has disappointed.In my opinion they have the best espresso martini in the New Orleans area. They make theirs with Ube. It's so good!!"

Bao Mi

★★★★★ 4.6 (48) • $$

"I was really surprised, but the portion size is pretty good. The cut must be chicken thighs, because it was pretty juicy, but it's definitely dark meat. It also has a pinch of carrots and cucumbers in the bowl as well. The food took about 10 or 15 minutes to come out. They have some indoor seating, so I ate at the countertop that's at the window/wall. Best part is that it's on a side street off of Tulane, so no paid parking. Yes!!!"

Le Saigon

★★★★☆ 3.5 (78) • $$

"Le Saigon is a good choice of Asian cuisine in Hammond. The fusion of Vietnamese and Korean is unique and mostly everything is house made from their sauces to side dishes. Their food is pretty good with a large menu to choose from. My favorite items so far are the Honey Sriracha Glazed Chicken, Bang Bang Shrimp Lettuce Wrap, Combination Vermicelli, and Pho Dac Biet. I had their KBBQ once for dinner and it was a fun and delicious experience. I have always wanted to try their banh mi but it has never been available since I have eaten there for the past year. Overall, a good Asian spot for lunch or dinner in the area. The availability of Korean BBQ in the Northshore is awesome. There is already a scarcity of KBBQ in New Orleans."

August Moon Chinese Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3 (106) • $$

"Love August Moon. Love the lady that takes the phone orders. Love the delivery guy. My department orders from August Moon once a month and we call to make an order at 10:45am. We get our food by 11:45.Food is always fresh, no complaints. Our go to is lunch special general tso chicken, sweet n sour chicken, lemon grass chicken and boneless chicken. Their grilled pork vermicelli and lemon grass shrimp substitute fried rice for vermicelli are also delicious! We like the different substitutions if you didn't want the eggroll. Definitely recommend"

Elizabeth Street Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (52)

"On point in Every Aspect quaint classy, Amazing service! Can't wait to come back and stay here at the Hotel! This is such a "SWEET," hip area in New Orleans!"

Chez Pierre French Bakery And Cafe On Harrison, Lakeview

★★★★☆ 3.6 (49) • $

"Love this place. It's a bakery with Pho and other great Vietnamese cuisine. The crawfish pie is to die for. Have to get there early because they go go go. The folks are friendly and accommodating. Yes, the baked good are fresh and sooooo good. Just don't let my doctor know. Remember to support your local busines"

Ba Mien Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (53) • $$

"This was a quick bite for us at the New Orleans Jazz Fest 2018. So glad I tried this Vietnamese foodie vendor. The food was delicious and fresh. The staff working were very nice. Kinda pricey due to the event, but Yes I would try them at the restaurant location. The peanut sauce was so good!!!Try them..."
