Bánh hỏi is okay. They don't have the classic bánh hỏi with crispy roasted pork so I do egg roll instead. Egg roll is crispy, but I think the skin is too thick. The nem summer roll is pretty good. Each roll is huge. Pho is my least favorite. The broth is bland and has a weird taste. But the noodle is well cooked, meat is standard

The pho was pretty much tasteless. Springroll was tasty. Dark with fast food atmosphere. Service was adequate but nothing about the experience would bring me back.

Best Vietnamese restaurant I know of in the south. Order this to not overlap flavors and get the best of the best: chargrilled spring rolls > lemongrass chicken wings > Korean rib vermicelli salad
After reading about Tan Dinh in the New York Times of all places. It was an article about the hidden gems of New Orleans. I knew that we had to give it a try. So, we headed to Gretna on the Westbank to dine Vietnamese style. Upon arriving, I could tell it was going to be good, there were all the signs of a good Vietnamese restaurant. The pungent smell of fish sauce, long row a table’s pushed together with a large family dining. Good enough for the whole family. As I watched the kids at the big table play air drums with their chop sticks, I looked over the menu items. The menu is vast, but I found it was translated well. We started off with some Shrimp Spring Rolls and Chicken Wings with a sweet chili sauce covering them. Both were exceptional and I probably could have taken a couple dozen of those wings home with me. That would have been a meal to itself. But we were here to try more than just the wings. I ordered a Bun Bowl of shrimp and pork with vegetables and vermicelli noodles. Charla ordered the short ribs. Both were very large and easily shareable between a few people. The food was delicious, and portions were large. If you have never tried Vietnamese food this would be the place to go. The menu is well done in English and Vietnamese and the waitress was very knowledgeable. So come hungry because you get a lot of food. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Don't skip the salt and pepper shrimp (served with garlic butter on the side as suggested by the server), or the super crispy chicken wings (with your choice of sauce, we chose lemongrass). The grilled pork rolls were a win, but I'd leave the tofu bun next time and probably go for pho instead. Prices weren't cheap but were absolutely fair for the fresh, abundant portions. Would absolutely return!

I've been eating at Tan Dinh for 20 years. It's one of my favorite places. I get the same thing every time. A couple of years ago, we moved to Mississippi but I still made sure I went to Tan Dinh whenever I was in town. I just picked up Tan Dinh to go on the way back home. I will NEVER order it again. It's twice as expensive, they give you half as much and everything about it is different. The egg rolls and the fish sauce both taste different. The vermicelli isn't even vermicelli. It's this micro-thin rice noodle that they lay flat and cut into squares about 3"x4". It's like edible astroturf. All of the veggies are on the side and uncut. Our lunch literally required 20 minutes of manual labor. I used to miss this place so much after we moved. Now I don't have to.
