“I would highly recommend Fusion Cafe. Excellent food and service. The prices are very reasonable.“

“Great Vietnamese food and excellent service! I love that we have this in Gentilly. Everything we had was delicious and freshly made. We started with the Grilled Pork Bun (amazing, great sauce) and the Lemongrass Wings (huge, very crispy, and great flavor). We also got the Pho Tai (great broth) and the Bun Bo Hue (great depth and spice). I’m already planning what I want to try next time.

The service was excellent and the owner came out to check how everything was and tell us about the restaurant. Definitely recommend!!“

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

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

“I had the pleasure of visiting Magasin Cafe recently, and wow — their pho is something truly special. The broth was rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced with fresh herbs and tender noodles that made every bite comforting and satisfying. You can tell they put real love and care into every bowl.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you’re catching up with friends or just enjoying a quiet meal. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the whole experience.

If you’re craving authentic pho with a warm vibe, Magasin Cafe should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Best Pho soup on a hot or cold day or night, service is fast and friendly.“

“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.“

“Place was packed when I walked in. Luckily I got a seat at the bar. My body was craving pho, so that’s what I got. I ordered the veggie pho and added tofu. It did not disappoint. Tons of flavor and the veggies cooked just right. Definitely recommend Updated from previous review on 2025-12-20“

“The BEST Wonton Soup Anywhere!!!“

“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🥰😋“

“best phô in town and even better service. the young guy that does front of house might be the friendliest and most attentive server I've ever had. genuinely cares about his customers, remembers my order and particulars even though I only go in maybe once a month. 10 stars“

“I came here last night with my two year old early in the evening. We were able to get seated immediately and the restaurant was welcoming. I had the pork spring rolls and the pho with steak and brisket at our server’s suggestion. Both absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone and particularly to families.“

“I start most days here with a delicious iced coffee and one of the fresh pastries made in house. It’s a true delight. Erin has to be the most attentive server I’ve ever met. She consistently goes above and beyond expectations not only for me but all patrons. Lily is also fantastic. They are both so personable and make you feel welcome there. True hidden gem of an experience.“

“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!“

“Food was genuinely good and we enjoyed the meal, but the experience took a disappointing turn at the end.

When it came time to pay, we left an 18% tip, which is a standard and fair amount. However, the waitress confronted us and said the minimum tip should be 20%, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Tipping should always be optional and based on the customer’s experience—not something to be enforced or demanded.

It’s unfortunate because the food was enjoyable, but this interaction left a negative impression and overshadowed the overall experience. I hope management addresses this, as no customer should feel pressured or insulted when paying their bill.“

“Amazing Vietnamese cusine!“

“Absolutely one of the best places in town! The staff is always so kind and welcoming, and the customer service is extraordinary. They are fast, efficient, and make sure every detail is right. The prices are excellent, especially considering the quality and generous portions.

A little tip: if you order by phone, it’s even cheaper than using delivery apps…definitely worth it! I highly recommend Phở NOLA for anyone looking for great food, outstanding service, and an overall wonderful experience.“

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

“This place is located in Caesar’s, so you’ll need your ID (21+) to get in. Much needed on a chilly night, and craving for hot soup. It is a little pop-up shop only on the weekends apparently. The soup was spot on (Vietnamese myself lol) and the noodle were a bit overdone but still good. It is understaffed so be patient. Would recommend as it was the only pho area within 1 km distance. Wish this place gets the recognition and has its own restaurant in this area someday.“

“Delicious! Off the beaten path…a must see“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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 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!!“

“excellent food great service“

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

“10/10 for me! The broth for the pho is absolutely spot on. It hits the taste buds just right with the right amount of salt, umami and richness. The banh mi is absolutely flavorful and the sushi is fresh and delicious! Thai tea is to die for 😩 went back the next day to get another lol HIGHLY recommend this place for good Vietnamese cuisine! If you want a nice light and rich soup, definitely get the N5 Pho 🤌“

“Been coming here for about a year straight and we usually get the combination pho. So consistent and yummy every time with just plain or adding their house-chili oil!! The owners are very nice and appreciative of us coming, definitely reminds us of an OG PHO HOUSE🙏🏼. When ready to pay you just go to the counter and you’ll leave happy and indulged“

“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“

“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.“

“unique. delicious. friendly.“
