“im the daughter of the family owner and i would like to say that pho bayou is a recommended place to eat because it has the best food.”

“you need to update your hours on your site”

“seafood platter was excellent, everything was battered and tried perfectly. boiled seafood was perfectly seasoned the shrimp were easy to peel”

“We stumbled upon this establishment on our way to tour while on vacation. What a happy accident! We had tried a seafood restaurant the day before in the French quarter and left a bit disappointed thinking we wouldn't get the great dining experience we were hoping for while in New Orleans, but Restaurant des Familles more than provided. Everything we had was wonderful, not to mention the service was good and the views were lovely. So happy we stopped!”

“Stumbled upon this place while running errands with my partner. Everything was delightful. Don’t be dissuaded by the outside in its slight ambiguity. Inside is clean and well lit. The service was incredibly attentive and friendly. The two ladies that took our orders were adorably nice. The chef, Kevin (who I figured out his name because when two other people came in they said hi to him by name enthusiastically) was so sweet. He made sure to triple check on some dietary restrictions for my boyfriend. He was incredibly detailed when I asked him about the dish I was enjoying. We had never had Cantonese food before, and it is fantastic. The worst part was just now when I finished my leftovers at home, because the dish is no longer in front of me to enjoy. Sincerely looking forward to trying more things on our next visit. :)”

“Kelly is the best. I live in Shreveport, but had to do my family reunion events in or around New Orleans. Food Symphony was recommended to me by my cousin. I called Kelly and she got the ball rolling. We had good communication through the planning of my Meet and Greet Event for my family. When I walked into my rented space, I was amazed how beautiful the entire set up was. I had the colors I wanted, and all the foods I had requested. The foods were beyond delicious. My family enjoyed the foods, and can't stop talking about the experience that had in Harvey, Louisiana at the Food Symphony/Timeless Moments Event Hall. Thank you Kelly and Trena. Everything was pleasing.”

“the food is amazing. the kabobs, the lamb chops, and the humus! I highly recommend!”

“It was great until... and lady behind the counter was completely rude when I asked for a to-go box. SHAME on you! Your nastiness ruined a fantastic mood and experience.”

“Tried this place for the first time, beyond lived up to the hype. They got the 3 most important things right. Great coffee, service, and vibe. I got the pistachio latte as recommended, did not disappoint. The flavor profile was 👌. Very unique taste, 10/10. Plenty of nice new and comfortable furniture to relax. Dudes making the coffee gave first class service. Just a block off of Manhattan and Lapalco, this definitely ain't Starbucks and its definitely my new spot. Lots of other cool stuff, ,Dubai chocolate and other treats. Will be back”

“Very good food friendly staff.”

I noticed that they changed the way they plated the food and added a few touches like grilled pineapple & an edible flower . I don’t remember the guys name who served us but it was his first day and he was perfect ! He got all of our orders correct , made all 12 of us our special alcoholic beverages in a timely manner . He was very sweet & friendly . The vibe was perfect ! 10/10 🥰”

“Had a free dehydration smoothie which was a wonderful delight in this heat Didn't realize there were still places that respected old school ways to advertise A definite treat and the place was cool inside, quick and efficient. Staff was very pleasant!”

“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.”

“Under new ownership. Same menu, different faces. Tastes the same tbh but the service can use improvement. All the same equipment but a new, far more convenient point of sale card machine. The fountain drink machine needs to be calibrated, there waa way more soda water rather than syrup. All minor inconveniences that im sure will be remedied. I am hopeful these guys can live up to the legacy of the nice couple that ran this place as long as I can remember. I'll check back in a few months.”

“The food is phenomenal it has such a homey feeling that welcomes you with each bite. You will never leave dissatisfied. The service is very generous everyone is very welcoming. I absolutely love this place it is like a hidden gem”

“On our first visit in Marrero, Jasmine was our waitress. My husband has to have limitations with his food choices. No problem, Jasmine helped with suggestions and the cook prepared it perfectly. Now on my 2nd visit, Jasmine not only remembered me but asked where was my husband. She not only remembered us but what we ate. As I dined alone, she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable! And then as I placed a take-out order for my husband, she had suggestions due to his salt restrictions in his diet. What a memory! In my life, I have NEVER met anyone with such a remarkable memory - and she is so kind and helpful. We will be regulars now. Jasmine - here we come. Thank you for helping us so much!!! And thank you Olive Branch for brightening up the Westbank ❤️”

The staff could not be more friendly and are appreciative of your business. Will definitely continue to stop in for a meal and use them in the future for any catered events. Go check them out!”
