We stayed in Metaire and wanted some Vietnamese cuisine so my brother and SIL took us here. The staff was super friendly and we were seated right away. It was during lunch time and it wasn't too busy (but it should be!). The restaurant was super clean and tidy as well. Our server was super friendly, polite, and made sure we were taken care of. We ordered some entrees and everyone loved their food! My husband had the phat peaux pho (beef ribs, brisket, rare flank, and beef balls) and he added bone marrow to it for an extra $5. I had the Korean short rib vermicelli bowl while my brother and SIL had chicken spring rolls and the rice pork fecta. My sister had the bulgogi baco and the pho combo (beef balls, brisket, rare eye round). All the pho came with a side of fresh bean sprouts, onions, jalapenos, cilantro, lime, and basil. I tried some of my husband's pho and the best way to judge pho is by the taste of the broth without all the add-ins. The broth was full of umami flavor and with each sip, the flavor became even more prominent. You can absolutely tell they put a lot of love into the broth and that it was simmered for hours to develop such complex flavors. I could have literally drank the broth on its own without hoisin or siracha sauces added to it. The meat was also super tender and I had a bite of the beef ribs and it was so tender that it fell off the bone! The portion sizes were HUGE!!! My husband finished every bit of his pho. My Korean short rib vermicelli bowl was also very huge and they give you ALOT of short ribs for the price. The only criticism I had was that the meat was a tiny bit dry but the flavor was smokey and delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the pickled and fresh veggies that came with it! There were also peanuts as toppings and you get a side of the nuoc mam (fish sauce) to go along with your bowl. I enjoyed how fresh the bowl was and it left me feeling full, but not greasy. My family all loved their appetizers and entrees and there were no complaints. I definitely want to come back to try other dishes and their desserts. I absolutely think the price is worth it for the amount of food you get. I had to get a togo box and it was enough for another meal at home! Definitely check out this place for some good ole Vietnamese cooking! read more

Need to level up your foodie life? Y'all need to head over to Metry and discover the most creative, delicious Viet fusion dishes at Ba Chi Kitchen! The restaurant sets off cute date or special event night vibes with its trendy, inviting atmosphere. I love how the bar and main dining area are separated- you can either dine at the tables or go next door to hang out for drinks. We stopped by for a late lunch and were greeted warmly by our sweet waitress Mikayla. She was very helpful and patient with any questions we had with items on the menu. Service was stellar A+++ !!! Now onto the incredible FOOD: Bo Ne - filet mignon steak cubes & eggs (10/10): When an entree comes out sizzling & the aroma wakes you up- you know it has to be AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL & FANTASTIC! Spread the butter & pate on the toasted bread, then use it to soak up all the INCREDIBLE flavor explosion from the sizzling steak & eggs!!! *VOILA chef's kiss* (side note: I grew up in Houston & had Bo Ne fairly regularly & I honestly think Ba Chi elevates this dish to another realm!!!) Curry clams & fries (10/10): I was worried I wouldn't like it because I wanted mussels, which were unavailable. To my surprise, this dish was another great hit !!! The yellow curry flavors were unique - a bit of heat & spice but not overwhelming. Next time, I would ask for the fries to be served on the side so that they stay crispy! We really wanted to slurp down a gallon of the curry- it really was THAT good! Pro tip: get a side of vermicelli noodles (or rice), mix it with the leftover curry & proceed to gobble it all up if you have room left in your tummy! Spicy lemongrass chicken wings (8/10): These were good-sized wings that packed a little punch with the spice! We enjoyed the spicy lemongrass flavor of the crispy wings (be aware that not everyone has a palate for lemongrass- they have other flavors available for those less adventurous eaters). DRINK: Dragon Slay-Her: what a gorgeous & beautiful drink - the dragon fruit margarita was a specialty cocktail I've never had before and I LOVED IT !!! (10/10) Their espresso martini with ube foam is another popular cocktail & I look forward to trying it on my next visit! TL; DR: If you're wanting to FIRE UP and add some PIZAZZ & all that jazz to your fabulous foodie life, then make lunch/dinner/drink plans for Ba Chi! You'll have the best dining experience there with quality food and top notch service! We LOVEDDD & enjoyed our dining experience today! read more

Ba Chi Kitchen And Bar - Look at that gorgeous spread!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Went to Ba Chi Kitchen + Bar for date night and this place did not disappoint. Honestly one of the hardest menus to choose from because everything looked amazing. I got the spicy sate oxtail stew with bread and a side of rice..so flavorful and comforting. We also tried the birria ramen, which was okay, could've used a little more punch, but still solid. The real highlight? The sake flight! Each glass came labeled with the name and flavor profile (sweet, savory, etc.)...such a fun touch and made the whole experience feel more curated. Ended the night with a king cake crème brûlée, which was just the right combo of festive and fancy. Service was friendly, attentive, and the whole vibe felt perfect for a laid-back but elevated night out. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Wanted to try a new spot out and came across Ba Chi Kitchen. When we walked in we were the only ones there but the service was great! Patient and attentive. Our service also helped with recommendations. We enjoyed everything especially that bulgogi beef! It had so much flavor omg I would highly recommend anything bulgogi. I also got an order of brisket pho to go (forgot to take a pic) but the pho broth was ok, not my favorite but it was decent. Give this place a try! I'll be back read more

I've been meaning to try this place forever and I finally got around to it! It was pretty empty on the side of the restaurant we were on and there was no music so it was quiet. I came with my mind on trying to roti tacos for sure. We tried the appetizer sampler and the pork gyoza was definitely the best thing, I'd get that by itself next time. The roti tacos were heavenly! 10/10 omg! We got the chicken tacos because my friend is allergic to seafood so I definitely will be trying all the other proteins the next time I'm there. The Kim chi fries were delicious too! The dragon fruit cocktail was my favorite! I didn't love my pork char ramen but it wasn't enough to alter my decision that I'll definitely be back read more

Good spot to get Viet and Asian fusion food here. I got the baos which I've never seen a big menu of baos before! My favorite was the fish with miso sauce. The food was good, I got the fries and it was huge and flavorful, it was interested to take a bite and the kimchi was cold with the hot fries and sauce. I wish there was more beef, quality of it was okay. Overall I'd come back! read more

A friend recommended us to try this Vietnamese restaurant while we were in Nola. We were definitely very impressed with all the food we ate in Nola and were looking forward to trying this restaurant. The restaurant was big and nice. We went there for lunch on Saturday and there were only 2 customers including us. We ordered their famous bun bo hue. It's good but nothing's special. It's basically like tom yum noodle soup. The pork belly banh mi was mediocre (the Kim chi fries were good though) The yaki soba was disappointing. For $25 we expected more on the yaki soba but it was basically like the food we could get from food court in LA. The Vietnamese food was definitely not as good as the one in LA. Won't recommend this place. read more

We've been here twice now. Both times on Tuesday. Ba Chi has a special/deal daily. Of course Tuesday is the taco special. I think each taco is $2.99 each. First visit we tried every taco. My favorite is the beef. The second visit you can see the pictures on this post. My daughter got the seafood ramen, my girlfriend ordered the combination ramen, and l ordered the Shaken beef. I would get the Shaken beef again but I'd pay for extra beef. Everything was tasty. My daughter tried the Ube dessert but she thought it would be sweeter. The waitress suggested we had condensed milk and that took the dessert to the next level! The staff here is incredible. The restaurant is spacious. Big enough for a group meal. Parking is limited so be prepared for that. read more

So amazing!! The food here is top tier. And the new location is Metairie has really cool interior decor. I'm on a mission to try everything on the menu. So far nothing has disappointed.

It was empty on a Thursday evening. The person at the pos was not welcoming or helpful. I had a coupon to use but I was planning on trying some things because my daughter loves pho and other Vietnamese dishes. He wasn't pleasant to interact with so I used the coupon and left. I won't likely try to go back. Too many other good Vietnamese spots with sweet and consistent customer service. The space was clean . Spring rolls were average, needed the peanut sauce which was good. read more

Love this new location! I worked near Ba Chi when they were located near the river-bend, and have been missing them since they left. It was such a treat to have lunch at their new spot today. They are conveniently located near Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie. There was parking right in front of the building, so that's a win, and I'm loving the interior as well. Service was excellent and so was the food. As it is a Friday in Lent, I went with a meatless option and had a tofu and shrimp rice bowl with sweet chili sauce. It was delicious! The tofu and shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sauce had just the tiniest bit of kick - just the way I like it. I'm looking forward to returning! read more

SO GOOD me and my man ate there last night for valentine's day and it was so worth it. we got some pho and it was really good, we also got the sweet chili wings, they were soooo good so crispy so delicious like omg. my favorite part of our meal was the wings.. if you couldn't tell. also i think there were 6 big wings but we devoured them before we could take a picture lol so it's a good amount for two people, definitely recommend this place for a night out, the service was good too. read more

This was my 2nd time here. The first time I came for lunch, tonight was for dinner. Lunch was busy but the food and service were still great. Tonight it was quiet, so we sat in the bar area to have higher tables. The waiter/bartender was pleasant, attentive and informative. The food came out fast, hot and fresh. There was nothing on the appetizer sampler I didn't like. The egg rolls, chicken, and gyoza were great as well as the sauces to go with them. My daughter had the kids chicken and fries. The fries were hot and fresh and reminded me of the fries at Great Steak. The chicken tenders were very bland and a bit dry. My daughter got full quickly so I told her when we reheat, we can add some sauce and reheat in the oven. I'd imagine for kids they make the food a bit bland so that's ok though it would have been nice for them to have a little more season/flavor. My significant other had the oxtails. He cleaned his plate , and I tasted some also. They were very good. I started the evening wanting a steak, but my significant other wanted to eat here since he's never been. I then thought I'd eat some ramen but looking at the menu, I didn't like the ramen combination options. The waiter introduced a new item, not on the menu that the chef just created today. It looked and smelled very good but wasn't the taste I was looking for. There were two nice sized and nicely fried soft shelll crabs. The crabs however were very bland and had no seasoning. I can't explain the taste of the sauce but it was fishy like with a bit of heat and very greasy where I could take the grease. I had leftovers when I got home and warmed it and it just wasn't good at all. I'd like to think I have a pretty exquisite pallet but I didn't care for this dish at all. I'd certainly come back, but likely won't try this again if it becomes a regular menu item. Service has been consistently good! read more

I've never eaten from here before and I ordered DoorDash and I got the Bun Bo Hue. I kid you not. I called the restaurant and told them I am coming to move in IT's DELICIOUS BUT MORE THAN DELISH. The packing and everything was impeccable. I am looking forward to dining in person. I want to try the entire menu over time. They made a phenomenal first impression on me. That's saying A LOT because I can COOK! I'll be there. At least once a week I can see me now lol talking about "I need my fix" lmao. Get the BUN BO HUE, you're WELCOME. If you don't like spicy, it is NOT FOR YOU, or KIDS. I love spice & me saying it's spicy means it up there. read more

Ba Chi Kitchen And Bar - Bun Bo Hue theeeeeeee BEST - Vietnamese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

My daughter ordered the tofu curry, and she loved it. It came with fried rice cakes and a delicious sauce which she absolutely adored. I ordered the Porkfecta Vermicelli Bowl which is essentially Bun BI, but on steroids. It was full of flavor - all the different types of pork were delicious, and I would definitely order it again. My other daughter ordered the gyosa appetizer and it came with a fabulous sauce and look absolutely delicious. She said she loved it, and I tasted the sauce, and it was like nothing I've ever had before. The service was good and the waitress brought our food to us very quickly. The only reason I did not give it five stars was the fact that parking was difficult. There's a small lot behind the restaurant that's accessible by a driveway that's a little more than an alley. I would not want to drive a large car down this to get to the parking lot. Other than that I love the restaurant. read more

Heard about this place and had to go try it. To say I was impressed is an understatement and I really have to visit again to really dive into the menu. Food was great service was attentive ambience was cool but don't expect a 5 star vibe. If you are looking for wobbly tables with satisfying dishes this is your place to go. It was my first to so I tried to go for something that I expected to be good and was very content with my decision. Tried the lemon grass flavored wings and all that I can say is that it was top tier Brisket Pho could've had a little more meat in it but the broth was hitting Overall 7 out of 10. Will be back and updating the review after my next visit. read more

This was a total surprise, and very pleasant surprise The space is great and the service cordial. The food was really good and not the usual dishes that you find everywhere. This is a well kept secret and what a shame that is. The food was really outstanding. We had lettuce wraps (a little to sweet for my taste), kimchi fries (delicious), couple of baos (the one with pork belly was delish) and the goat stew (well balance of flavors and perfectly cooked). So we will be going back to this little Gem of a restaurant. read more

Walking in, you immediately feel like you're in an upscale establishment. The lighting, the tables and chairs, the vibe are all giving. "Please wait to be seated" is always a good sign. The polite server escorts you to a table and you walk past other full tables with lots of delicious looking food tempting you to linger. You sit down and are handed a plastic menu and a plastic pocket of chopsticks and one fork . (We did need a knife later). These two items and the roll of paper towels on the table are the only signs that drag the review from upscale to wide appeal. The prices are upscale. We did a search for "Chinese food" in the Yelp app and this restaurant popped up with 4.5 stars so away we go. Opening the menu, we learn there are no Chinese options and the server educates us that they are Asian fusion. Begin mental adjustment. I had been wanting to try oxtail soup so that was my order. My husband is not nearly as adventurous as I am so we tried to splice together a meal for him that resembled his usual order of shrimp and broccoli with fried rice. There is ramen, rice, sticky rice, vermicelli and pho in the menu. No fried rice. That's fine! He order grilled shrimp, white rice and a side of broccoli. A huge portion of broccoli and rice arrived to the table with 6 medium grilled shrimp and a side of citrus sauce. He devoured it all. His only comment was not enough shrimp for the price but flavor was . My oxtail soup arrived looking very much like Osso Bucco which is one of my favorite dishes of all time. The oxtail was served with a branch of basil for liberally distribution and a fresh loaf of pillowy warm bread with just enough crunch on the outside-perfect for dipping into the Ah-mazing oxtail soup sauce. I've had a similar gusto experience one other time in my life. I bit into a warm, warm/spicy sauce with tender meat and carrots. This is palate fireworks in the best possible way. The server said I had ordered the mild version and they also have a hot version. I wouldn't be able to handle it but for those of you who have seared your tastebuds off with spice, go nuts. I will definitely be back. This is the flavor addiction that keep people coming back for decades and will also invite a cult following. Sadly I won't be back with my husband. He thought the prices were too high for the experience and food but that's him. It was $50 for the two of us for lunch and no leftovers. I will gladly pay $20 to make my nose run and my tastebuds dance. Next time will try dessert. The crème brûlée Cheesecake piqued my interest. read more

Very cute place and its very clean. The food was amazing and the service was great. The baos were great, the shrimp one was my favorite between the sauce the shrimp was toss in and the sauce they drizzled on it was the icing on the cake. Perfect blend of all the flavors combine. The sizzling hot plate was beyond amazing. Everything was seasoned perfect and cook to perfection. If you are reading this just stop and head to this place. read more

Great new addition to fat city! We ordered the oxtail stew which was my favorite! I love the sauce!! Not too overpowering with spices. I just wish the meat was a bit more tender. Will def order again. We also had the steak and egg with some of their dipping sauces. It was pretty good too. I didn't taste the pate that it came with but my cousin said she wasn't a fan of it. Not pictured is a bowl of bun Bo hue (spicy noodle soup). It had wayy too many lemon grass pieces in it, which was overpowering. Our meal over was decent and would be returning to try out their ramen and other menu options. Staff is friendly. Love the space. Parking is limited and a few in the back of the facility. You can also probably park across the street and walk over. read more
