50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Gretna

“Have been here a few times. Only twice to dine in for soup and multiples to pick up eggrolls to go. Food is delish but those eggrolls, oh my!! I feel like with all things, everything was better back in the day. Had these recently and they were still so tasty!!“

“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.“

“Great place to relax and party“

“Quick n easy line for king cake. Good bao also. Will be back to try the bahn mi“

“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!!“

“First time-The atmosphere was nice. The service was good, the server was nice. The food was good, based on your personal preference, the fried dumplings were great, the spring roll were great, but the peanut sauce was bland, the wonton soup with egg noodle was delicious, however the broth was on the sweet side.“

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

“Magasin catered an event I attended and the food was delicious! The brisket was truly the best brisket I’ve ever had. All of the food was so fresh. The spring rolls, vegetable curry, and brisket tacos were perfect! I would love to eat at the brick and mortar, but I would definitely recommend them for any catering needs.“

“Pork vermicelli was delicious. love the jasmine ice tea too.“

“My daughter actually told me about this place as it's her favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the metro area. Knowing that my mother enjoys Vietnamese food, I decided to take her here for her birthday and I have to agree with my daughter. It is one of the top Vietnamese restaurants in the city with great service, quality ingredients, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!“

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

“fine food friendly service“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“This place serves up a comforting Vietnamese shrimp and chicken rice dish. The rice has a soft and chewy texture that soaks up the grilled shrimps and chicken. Added pickled vegetables and aromatic fish sauce dressing makes this dish refreshing.
This kind of rice dish that feels humble but definitely delicious.“

“So I’ve never actually eaten there but when I was in city market eating my almond croissant, there was this girl who was crying at the table. Like crying crying. But then she got her banh mi from Kim Som and stopped crying. So, I’m pretty sure it’s a good banh mi. This is actually unfolding right now in front of me so maybe I’ll get one right now.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“This is the best pho in louisiana. Broth is perfect flavor, look at that color! They also give a lot of meat. Rice dishes are also good, I like the porkchop. Also the hidden gems are the salt and pepper calamari, salt and pepper chicken wings, and salt and pepper shrimp. The flavor for these dishes are called rang muoi in vietnamese. Service is nice and straight to the point, that’s how you know the food is good“

“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“

“Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly“

“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!“

“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.“
