50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Gretna

“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.“

“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!!!“

“great food, great prices and great staff, definitely recommend it to others“

“The entire staff is very friendly. The service is fast & accurate. No waiting in long lines like at fast-food places. And the food is excellent! I’m hooked on their banh mi sandwiches.🤤“

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

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

“Found this little gem and it is now one of my favorite places! My daughter and I rarely go to one place for a full meal and opt to choose a place for apps, main course and dessert. We arrived around 12 and ordered spring rolls and brisket steamed buns… when I tell you this is the best I have had of both and we have had our share of bao and spring rolls!!!
The brisket was mouth watering tender with this sweet perfection of sauce, the buns PERFECTLY steamed and the spring rolls were rolled to perfection with the best peanut sauce. We got it to go, but it looked so amazing we didn’t make it out of the door. Their Thai tea was also some of the best I have ever had! Honestly the place was so good we came back that evening for the same thing!! Give this place a try, the service was top tier and it’s definitely my new go to!“

“Food is absolutely amazing! 10/10 highly recommend“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Yo this place is awesome!! Went for my first time, got pork vermicelli and a ham banh mi. My girl got pho. Everything was outstanding. I don’t know how long they’ve been around, but what a treat. We will be back. Stopped at daiquiri paradise on the way home lol gotta love da parish“

“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“

“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 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.“

“The BEST Wonton Soup Anywhere!!!“

“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.“

“fine food friendly service“

“Bún bò Huế is good, nhưng thiếu chả lụa“

“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!“

“Hands-down the best banh mi around. I have been getting their spicy combo for at least the last 15 years and I will make a special trip to get one. Have tried many other spots around the city and nothing comes close to flavor, size and price. Matter of fact, I’m going to get one today.“

“Solid casual spot for banh mi. My mom likes to stop by here to grab a couple when we're in the area. Service is friendly and there's some desserts available to buy. Doesn't take too long for the order to be ready. Limited parking spots but there isn't usually a big line or anything so it should be fine. Cute little gem when you're craving some banh mi and don't want to deal with crowds“

“Amazing Vietnamese cusine!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Support local restaurant business 🍜☕️“

“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!“

“excellent food great service“

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

“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“

“unique. delicious. friendly.“

“My sister and I had lunch here with 4 of our kids. It was packed when we got there. Great little family atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. The family was so nice and attentive even though it was really busy. For the people complaining about the prices going up, have y'all been to the grocery store lately? In keeping with inflation, the prices were reasonable. Definitely planning to make this a regular family going out to dinner spot.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food here is awesome!“

“Nine of us came here. It’s only a 5 minute walk from our hotel. It was a quiet Wednesday night so we found seats right away. Server came right over and took our drink orders. Decent size menu with very reasonable prices. Good selection of pho which most of us got. My rare beef one was excellent with no need for extra sauces. I would call it a medium to small bowl. I had not eaten all day so I was hungry. I ordered two spring rolls which were good size. Delicious. I had two large hit sakes. Bill came to $57. No problem with separate checks. Very pleasant, friendly service.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Unbelievable and life changing bakery“
