Cafe Minh

I used to live nearby, but nowadays this is mostly a business lunch stop.The food and service are always top notch. My favorites are the fish of the day (often drum) and miso scallops (pictured). The ga roti, pho, and summer rolls are also solid. Everything is fresh, high quality, flavorful, and perfectly executed Asian fusion. I feel like the decor is due for an update as it's been the same since I moved away in 2014, but it is clean and well maintained so I will continue patronizing this mid-city gem.

A former colleague and I met up here for lunch. It's a small, unassuming place in mid-city. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls and they were very fresh. Peanut dipping sauce was tasty. I ordered the panko crusted shrimp salad. It was fabulous! The menu had lots of good options. I felt like it was a little pricey compared to comparable vietnamese spots. , but I would try them again. Only street parking so get there early.

So good we went back twice the week we were in NOLA. A nice more upscale Vietnamese place with an ambitious menu that includes French fusion. Get the shrimp dumplings, the beef pho, and the stuffed quail special.

I wanted to update my 2013 review. My comment that the place is pricey is a little misleading. It is a little pricey for an everyday lunch, but the price matches the quality. I have eaten here several times since my last review. This charming restaurant is underappreciated. My recent lunch was outstanding. I typically order 2 appetizers and did so again, and I was stuffed. I started with the beggars purses then ordered a Oyster Rockefeller variation that was delicious. The kitchen did a magnificent job on the tempura oysters. Yelpers have under reviewed this place. It is clearly a 4+ star establishment.

Good food and a relaxed environment. Lots of great options on the menu. I went with the seafood spring roles then the stir fried shrimp. Both were tasty and had some good flavors, but I'd hoped for a bit more spice or zest. The service was immaculate though, so may come back just for that

Let's just start with the service. Excellent. They're on target, are fun when you quip with them they quip back most appropriately. Ambiance. Oh, yes. I like clean white tablecloths on the table but I come from another time that likes to be casual, likes to dress up, likes to cook, but loves to go to a great restaurant. And I almost always see someone I know there and they have been going there for decades. Recently I had wonderful soft shell crab which also came to the table looking like a very special dish and believe me, it was, very, very special But then my dinner partner said here, try the mussels and don't ignore the liquor in it. OMG, it's like you fall into flavorful heaven.Minh's has been an open secret for a long long time. I love the place. Very special and very very excellent from top to bottom.

Perfect choice for a Valentine lunch. The food is wonderful, the service perfect, the daily specials all sounded so good, it was difficult to choose. The seafood spring rolls and the oysters Rockefeller Minh style would have been enough for lunch, generous servings, and both were wonderful!

Dry great fine dining Vietnamese Asian. We really enjoyed it.Service is great every dish is so fresh

All around the best Vietnamese-influenced restaurant in Nola proper. Beautiful ambience for date night or client lunches. The owners Minh and Cynthia are the most wonderful down-to-earth chefs I've met during my 5 decades as a native New Orleanian. The brisket Pho is the best pho in the city!
