“Wonderful food and wonderful service. I give this place a 10/10!“

“There are several options for vegans - including spring rolls, bahn mi's, and curry. I had the fried Tofu bahn mi. The freshest bread and the loveliest of tastes. For $8, a very generous portion. The Vietnamese iced tea was delicious. Such a lovely looking and quiet space - very civilized:) The hostess/waitress could not have been more helpful or welcoming. Wow, what a great spot!“

“The BEST Wonton Soup Anywhere!!!“

“Great food!!great prices do yourself a favor and check it out.“

“I was about ready to give up on finding good vegan food in New Orleans… then I found MINT Modern Vietnamese Bistro & Bar, and wow — they really came through.

The mushroom and tofu pho? Easily the best I’ve ever had — super flavorful, loaded with fresh toppings, and so satisfying. The tofu bánh mì was huge, fresh, and packed with flavor. The tofu and tomato bowl was hearty and filling, and the fried tofu spring rolls? Perfection.

The portions are big, the prices are fair, and they have a great variety of vegan options. I’m so glad a place like this exists here — I’ll definitely be back (probably way too often).“

“Inflation is real. I hadn’t been in here in 3 plus years so man oh man have I been living under a rock.

Anyway, the food is still pretty solid (been here several times in the last decade). It’s mildly westernized bc the slice of carrots, radish are pretty thick by Vietnamese standards (note: I was in HCMC back in March 2025—HoChiMinh City). The chargrilled pork was 1/4th charred compared to the motherland but still solid in flavor. $14 for chicken spring rolls? Seemed pricey but they are super thick so not as shocking. I could have ordered two for $7.

Overall, $19 for a plate is pricey for the Westbank and would have thought I was uptown where rent is 2x. Idk. The volume is good for the price but I guess inflation is warping my perception. Overall, I still enjoyed the food and recommend them still esp if this is the new norm.“

“Tôi thường xuyên đến Cafe Minh, không khí và các món ăn ở đây luôn để lại cho tôi ấn tượng sâu sắc. Đầu bếp khéo léo kết hợp hương vị Việt Nam với phong cách Pháp và Mỹ, khiến mỗi món ăn đều đầy ắp bất ngờ. Dù là gỏi cuốn tươi mát, phở đậm đà hay những món fusion sáng tạo, tất cả đều khiến tôi muốn thưởng thức thêm nhiều lần nữa. Nơi đây không chỉ là một nhà hàng, mà còn như một sân khấu nơi ẩm thực và văn hoá giao thoa, khiến tôi khó lòng cưỡng lại mà cứ muốn quay lại hoài🥰😋“

“Very nice restaurant, the Pho was good but not excellent. The soup was just ok, but the meat/ round was good. I have tasted better Pho than this restaurant. The size of the bowl was ok, not as large as other pho restaurants. The price of the soup was on the higher side because of the location. Overall experience was good. Thank you for the super attentive waiter. She noticed I needed a fork and immediately brought it to me.“

“My wife had pho and I had cubed beef on the servers recommendation. It was awesome! It’s kind of unassuming and undersold but we really enjoyed it.“

“This is my first time eating here in person. The first time I had the food I ordered to go and it was delicious. Now, eating here on the patio, same quality! The sauces they make elevate everything. The cilantro sauce is banging. The banh mi tastes better than banh mi boy IMO. The bread is toasted, the shredded carrots are fresh..it’s all good! Everything I’ve had here has been 10/10.“

“This is some of the best Pho I've ever had, and combined with with the BEST service... I absolutely recommend 10/10. Absolutely get the iced jasmine tea as well.“

“Love it just as much as the Gretna location 👍🏼“

“Amazing Vietnamese cusine!“

“my girlfriend and i always order the chicken Pho [we order the same thing every week, unfortunately dong have pics of it becasue i just have to stuff my face] but yesterday i went pick up our food and before picking up i called. i placed my order and it was funny because she called me marie instead of my govn’t name. when i got there, the owner and i laughed because of the mixed names. got on the subject of her liking my tattoo and she started telling me how her tattoo on her back is for her son Michael. my heart shattered and i honestly had tears in my eyes because the way she spoke so beautiful about how this was his dream and she wanted to do this for him was truly beautiful. we got on another subject of why i LOVE this restaurant so much!! yall, they make this broth sun up to sun down so it’s fresh for you! i can have dreams about this pho because of how yummy it is!! everyone needs to go try it! the people who work there are very sweet! great atmosphere!“

“This place has been here for years. My first ever bubble tea/ milk tea and the best I've had even to this day (I highly recommend the sweet redbean with coconut milk. It tastes just like sweet cereal milk 💕) PhoNola has my favorite pho after trying SEVERAL restaurants, (I always get meatball pho with extra limes), best ever báhn mì, (I LOVE their pate, so rich and flavorful. Bread is PERFECT, crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. I get grilled pork with extra pate/aioli.) And although my fiancé is quite finicky with food, he really enjoys the flavorful fried rice with shrimp, the pan fried dumplings with really yummy dipping sauce, and his favorite are the pork belly steamed rice buns (hold the veggies). I've had a wonderful experience with pleasant and helpful staff and delicious food here for years and would absolutely say PhoNola is the best Vietnamese Restaurant in Metairie 💜“

“Legit Bahn Mi, the only person working was slammed busy, they were understaffed but she was efficient and courteous, she deserves better.

Food was delicious, the bread was absolutely on point with the perfect texture with really good ratios of meat to pickled veggies.

I was very satisfied with the quality of this sandwich, would highly recommend“

“Pho Sunrise offers a truly authentic menu. I have lived in Saigon and enjoyed Vietnamese Cuisine in many places. Pho Sunrise brings back wonderful memories like hopping on the motor bike with my wife and stopping for a delicious bowl of Pho while on the way to the market in Saigon. The family who owns and operates this restaurant is customer service oriented and very friendly. I am from Biloxi and working in Kenner for a few weeks. I will definitely return to Pho Sunrise whenever I am in the area. I recommend Pho Sunrise without hesitation. Bác Sammy Tăng-Arrington“

“GREAT pho. There was about 1/4 of meat in there with really good flavor.“

“Best Vietnamese food in Metairie area! Simple, fresh, and great! I’ve been coming here for the last 8-9 years! Always find the same great food, great jasmine tea! The only thing I hate is their door, we can never get “Pull and Push” thing right! ? You should try their soft buns and their Vermicelli’s! It’s the best in town!“

“AMAZING PHO!!!! Even though I’ve moved away from New Orleans, I always make it a point to come back and visit this place. I always order the tofu pho with beef broth and load it up with chili oil. Over the past five years, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been here. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to find anything like it in any other state I’ve visited... :( HIGHLY recommend!!!“

“Support local restaurant business 🍜☕️“

“The best pho and spring rolls I have ever had. I have lived all over, and Jazmine Cafe takes the cake when it comes to Vietnamese food. No Vietnamese restaurant in NYC or elsewhere has compared to Jazmine Cafe. Every time I travel back to New Orleans, a meal here is a must. Thank you for the delicious food. I will be dreaming of your pho and spring rolls until I come back!!“

“The best I’ve ever had love this place and can’t wait to try more thank y’all for being in our community y’all rock!!!“

“Ate here for the first time today. And I must say, their pho is amazing. I had shrimp pho and their broth is the best I’ve had. Not too much cinnamon or anise flavor. Which a lot of places do. My daughter had the pork chop platter and it was also very good. Atmosphere is great, very clean environment and our waitress with the nose ring was very fun and polite. Definitely recommend this place.“

“excellent food great service“

“Randomly stopped by cause it was close to the hotel and the reviews had me worried.

Immediately greeted and it’s a sit anywhere you want. Prompt service and friendly.

The space is plentiful and it wasn’t very busy.

I ordered Shrimp Spring Rolls and they were decent. Plenty of shrimp and the peanut sauce was good. Lot of noodle filling but I prefer mine with extra herbs anyway so low expectations there. Accompaniments were fresh slices jalapeños, bean sprouts, basil, cilantro and lime wedges.

I ordered Rare Eye Round, Brisket and Meatball Pho. The rare eye round didn’t come out by itself .. it was already cooked well in the pho. The broth itself wasn’t as flavorful as I would prefer but after fixing it some, it really wasn’t bad. You get two meatballs cut into halves and the brisket was blah.

I will visit again if I’m at the same hotel.“

“I had the tenderloin and oxtail pho and if it wasn’t for the slow service I would have given this restaurant 5 stars. The broth was full of flavor and the meat was fresh and very good quality. The ox tail was melting off the bone. The restaurant was very clean and staff was very nice just very laid back. It is a little pricey however the quality is well worth it.“

“The food here is awesome!“

“unique. delicious. friendly.“

“12/16/24. Found our authentic Vietnamese restaurant in New Orleans. Tried so many other restaurants but none have the Viet authentic taste that we were searching for. Good food and price is nice too. Love the authentic Vietnamese ice coffee that they made individually with a phin filter. Definitely a place we will come when visiting NO.“

“My boyfriend and I had the Pho Tai and beef spring rolls. I also had the mango slush with tapioca. Everything tasted very fresh and delicious. The owner was very nice and the customer service was great. We will definitely be coming back for more!“

“GREAT pho. There was about 1/4 of meat in there with really good flavor.“

“With so many great restaurants along Frenchman St, it's perfect to have a Deli to located right in the heart of it. They stay open late and have wonderful sandwiches in the back which you order at the register. I had the shrimp po-boy and it was perfect. A great selection of other convenience store needs as well as a great selection of beer.“

“Absolutely delicious food and super friendly people! The oyster and shrimp po boys are perfect. I got to taste their crawfish and their mushrooms and they are the best I’ve ever tasted. The next time I visit NOLA, I’m definitely making a return trip to Mary J’s!“

“My first time visiting this place was with my mom in the spring of 2024. And we both loved it! The food is fresh and very reasonably priced! The outside dining area is cool as well.“

“I always go to frostys and I never had any complaints. I went there last week to get a shrimp and chicken salad and it had hair in the salad. I just threw it away, I would suggest you guys wear hair nets because nobody wants somebody else’s hair in their food“

“Unbelievable and life changing bakery“

“Seriously had no idea what to expect with this Yakamein but every expectation I had was blown out of the water. My first sip of the broth was full of flavorful explosion. I can’t recommend enough. If I lived in New Orleans I would make a trip to get this soup once a week. Absolutely delicious.“

“Food - Amazing!!! Easily the best General Tso chicken I've had. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked and tasted great. Amosphere and ambiace - not good at all! They can do simple touches and changes to make it more inviting and it needs a thorough clean.

Super friendly and accommodating staff. Will be back for take out regularly.“

“Unbelievable and life changing bakery“

“Idk what anyone else is talking about but the food i had was great and the waitress was good. I had the combination rice and combination lo mein. Very fresh, too hot to eat I needed to let it cool down. Very good food, the BBQ pork slices appetizer was great too.“

“This spot is an absolute gem for lunch! The restaurant impresses with its impeccable cleanliness, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. What truly elevates the experience is the exceptionally friendly staff. They go above and beyond to make you feel right at home, ensuring that your meal is not only delicious but also a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend this place for a delightful lunch outing.“
