Eat-well Food Mart

Phoritto (noun) tortilla shell wrapped around essential pho ingredients. Also see: pho stuffed into a burrito [with dipping broth on the side]S#!+ just got so pho'king real.Y'all lemme tell you this baby is worth every ounce of hype. I did not think pho could get any better. Then BAM! I found it perfectly wrapped in a delicious tortilla.At first glance, I was skeptical. Why take two perfectly good things and mash them together? Why keep those tasty noodles out of their delicious broth and swaddle them in a flavorless tortilla? It sounds sticky, relatively flavorless, and a mouthful I'm not asking for nor did I consent to.Just a heads up, this spot is located in the back of a sketch looking corner store, but do not let that sway you. Head straight to the back of the shop, place your order then go pay at the cash register near the front. They have cold drinks in the cooler to grab too. & a small seating area inside with bottles of sriracha and hoisin sauce.Let me tell you- it was none of those things. Actually the opposite of those things. This spicy brisket phoritto was packed with flavor, moist (but not soggy), and had me begging pho more. I'm so sad it took me this long to stop by Eat-Well Mart. I won't make the mistake again.

I like these kind of restaurants. The food was delicious and the service was great. The quality of food was also fantastic as well.Thank you

A convenient store with Vietnamese food. I was a bit wary about visiting but I've been in New Orleans a few days and I NEEDED Vietnamese food. My cravings were getting the best of me. I tried the nem nướng bánh mì and bun Bo hue. The bread is very light, fluffy, and airy. I like mine a bit more crunchy. The bánh mì needs MUCH more meat the break to stuffing ratio is a bit poor. The bun Bo hue was a bit too sweet but once I added the chili paste it was better -- broth needs more mắm ruốc. I was a bit hesitant to try this spot due to some of the reviews about it being unsanitary (on Google) or "dangerous". But honestly it was fine!!! Price is a bit high for convenient store food but I don't know what other local Vietnamese restaurants are charging either so cant adequately compare.

Great food that can cleanse the soul. The Bahn Mi is on point. It is a hidden gem in NOLA.

Eat-well Food Mart is a convenience store that also happens to serve Vietnamese food in the back. Located on the heart of Canal, it embodies the all cliche keywords: a hidden gem, a hole in the wall, a local favorite ... all in one package. There is no doubt if I lived nearby that I'd be going here all the time.Had it not been for the large window decals of "Vietnamese Pho" or "Banh Mi" I would have missed this place completely. There is little parking (beyond the street) to speak of and the area could be considered a bit sketch. All sorts of characters are coming in and out of here at all times. Inside the place looks like a convenience store found at any gas station but the real action is in the very back. Look for the food photos and the kitchen counters and one will find all sorts of goodness here. Order something and grab a seat out front where there are TVs playing.I had the pleasure of ordering for a group where we ordered several "regular" (aka dac biet) banh mi, summer rolls (goi cuon), fried dumplings, the infamous phoritto (pho cuon), finished with some a few Vietnamese iced coffees and sodas. It was around $70 for everything and because it was a convenience store, that meant other snacks were available and they accept credit card.We loved everything. The bread for the banh mi was airy and fluffy, which meant there were no cuts to the roof of the mouth. The dumplings were crispy and tasty and the summer roll was very average. The real surprise was the phoritto, which despite the gimmicky feel was actually exactly like pho in a wrap. The dipping broth was particularly excellent and the wrap was packed full of tasty ingredients (pho noodles, cilantro, onions, beef slices, and an *extra* egg). It was far and away the most expensive item at $9 but I don't know of too many Viet places (let alone convenience stores) that sell something like this.Lastly the husband and wife duo who own the joint deserve all the kudos. They were polite, extremely friendly to all who came in, and took the time to ensure my order was as close to perfect as can be. I hope that all of my future visits to NOLA will include a trip to this fantastic biz.

Came here for yakimen dinner time since I saw this on Eater website. We ordered to go and got the banh bo hue, chicken pho, and beef pho, and yakimen.Coming from Southern California ive had my fair share of pho and I would say this is def not the best pho. Pass on the chicken and beef. The bun bo hue was awesome though. My mom loved it. So def get that.The yakimen tasted like.... Japanese shoyu sauce with sesame oil.... IMHO I don't know how it's supposed to taste, but I would pass on this next time too.Tl;dr get the bun bo hue

Yes, the Bahn-mi and pho burrito were tasty, but we had to eat them at home because the area this market is located, is pretty bad. There were countless people shuffling up the stairs into the shop, pestering the coworkers and just making a scene. There was no toilet paper or soap in the bathroom so one of the guys behind the counter gave me a roll off the shelf so I could hand it to my partner. If you absolutely must have Vietnamese while in this area, yes the food was good, but the safety and sanitation of the area was undeniably questionable.

They could keep the kitchen open past 6:30pm. The store is open later but come dinner time, the kitchen conveniently shuts down. Bummer.

The food was super affordable and good, the service was fast, and it was overall a good place to drop in for lunch.

This was the first time I have eaten food from Eat-well. My friend picked up some tofu rolls which I had never had before and they were absolutely delicious! It is a soft pancake texture filled with all sorts of goodies including grilled tofu, carrots, and cilantro.
