    Braised Pork Belly Bao
    Meagan L.

    Quick and delicious meal in Mid-City. I got the pork and shrimp spring rolls and an order (2) of pork belly bao, with cabbage and jalapeño. The rolls were made with fresh veg and were stuffed fat with noodles and protein. The richness of the peanut sauce made them even better. The pork belly bao was unwieldy -- the protein was almost larger than the bun on one -- but the ginger honey garlic sauce had me licking my fingers anyway.

    Best Bulgogi fries in the city ! The pulled chicken banh mi is one of my favorite sandwiches in the city! And it is the cheapest sandwich on their menu!!! (Get it before they raise the price) I get the shaken beef and rice always too! I always look forward to their creative specials. Their Citrus Butter wings were a great unique flavor. They are constantly using clean oil in their frier and i you can tell because all of their fried food comes out full of flavor. Place is always clean! (You can see the kitchen at all times) And they are so quick to cook your food! (So rare to find a fast place in New Orleans)

    Great food, service was okay, ambiance was what they could make of it. The flavors of the food, and the visuals were a two for one. They definitely made up for it in the product that I came for and that was all that mattered at the time. It's really small inside and they made great use of the available square footage for seating purposes. It's definitely a grab and go kind of place. So calling and ordering ahead is probably best. If you're into the whole bao movement this is definitely a must try. If not they still have something for you to try. You'll be surprised, and satisfied it will be a great collaboration for your taste buds.

    Sampler

    I ordered the Sampler. I chose the pork belly, pew pew shrimp, and the kfc. They were made fresh to order. All three of these were delicious!! Seriously you can't go wrong with any of those choices. If I had to rank them: 3. Shrimp 2. KFC 1. Pork belly They were all good but the pork belly was just next level flavorful. I can't wait to try their other options!!

    Did an order pickup here because I was 1. in and rush and 2. because I was tired of my friend posting this place on IG and it did not disappoint. The bao buns were so soft and the chicken was really juicy. I can't wait to fully try this place.

    Shrimp Bowl

    I had the Shrimp Bowl and it was so delicious! The food was fresh and there were a tons of different flavors and it felt very healthy. The restaurant is really accessible from downtown hospital area so it is easy to stop by and pick up a to go order.

    Food was fresh and tasted so good. I ordered over the phone and my order was ready when I arrive. Nice window view and the perfect stop for a quick bite to eat.

    Vermicelli bowl, KFC bao

    I ordered take out from here via Uber eats. I tried the vermicelli bowl with pork and an egg roll as well as the KFC chicken bao. I expected the chicken to at least come covered with a sauce like traditional Korean fried chicken and it didn't which was a bummer. It was still delicious though. I liked my vermicelli as well. I would try it again and try some different things next time.

    Bulgogi bao

    Amazing! We ordered the pew pew bahn mi, the grilled pork bahn mi, the combo spring rolls, & the bulgogi bao. The food was so delicious! My daughter swears the pork bahn mi was the best she's ever had but I fell in love with the pew pew bahn mi which is their version of bang bang shrimp. It was absolutely delicious. The spring rolls were great but my absolute fav were the bulgogi bao buns. What amazing flavors and the buns were golden and slightly crispy on the outside which I have never seen before. It added the perfect amount of texture and just made everything so good. I might dream about them, lol. Just go and check them out!

    The food here is bursting with Asian fusion flavor! Staff are wonderful and the service is very quick and fast. It's located in the heart of New Orleans downtown medical center so if your there, be sure to stop by! There is plenty of street parking. I tried the shrimp banh mi and the bulgolgi fries. Both were delicious! The shrimp was marinated with some sauce that reminds me of the bang bang shrimp from bonefish grill. The fries were a perfect blend of beef, sauces and fries. Can't wait to come back to try the other menu items!

    Combo Braised Pork Belly Bao, KFC Bao, and Beef Bulgogi Bao. Delicious!

    Great lunch spot near hospitals on Tulane Ave. I got the combo Bao so that I could taste as many as possible. They were all delicious.

    This place is on the side of a building so you've probably passed it and didn't even know it. We saw the sign go up behind our usual smoothie king and wondered what it was. When we realized it was bao we already knew we had to try them. We ordered the KFC bao and the bulgogi fries. Both were great choices. I can't wait to go back and try more things.

    I finally had a day where I could make to Bao Mi during a weekday and try them out. We got the beef bulgogi fries, an order of the bulgogi bao and an order of the KFC bao. The fries were delicious! The beef was cooked well and there was a nice spicy mayo on top of crunchy fries. The bao from the bulgogi bao are fried which adds a nice crunch, I definitely enjoyed those more than the KFC bao. Those had a slightly sweet flavor that I didn't care for. The jalapeño limeade has a nice sour and slightly spicy taste.

    This is my favorite restaurant! The owner/executive chef, Chef Hao is a genius. We get the "Feed…read moreMe" option where 4-5 dishes are brought out that are chosen and prepared personally by Chef Hao. His dishes are to die for. Combinations you would never think would work together just fuse and melt in your mouth. He pairs things like raw salmon and strawberries with a sauce that mind blowing. All this combined in your mouth is like heaven on Earth! His Mama's Dumpling soup is so good especially on a cold or rainy night. I have tried almost his whole menu and can't complain about a thing. My only complaint is I wish they were open for lunch. If I worked there, my whole check would go to my bill and I'd still probably owe him money! The staff is really good. They are great for offering recommendations from food to cocktails to bourbons (that he collects). And if they aren't sure, they will ask Chef Hao for his advise. They fully explain everything that comes out and is put on the table, even the rice they explain is to sop up any extra sauce. Every day he is open, he is out picking the freshest fish, veggies, and fruits so dishes taste fresh and can be changed up if one thing isn't available but something else is. The place itself is small but very cozy. I would definitely recommend reservations through Open Table. We went one night during all the very cold weather. I was worried I'd be cold since it's in a remodeled NOLA shotgun house (and those building at known for being drafty), but Chef had the place insulated very well. My husband and I go there for our wedding anniversary, birthdays, or just to go when the craving hits. It's a great place to bring a date.

    All hits, no misses. Another great meal at Luvi. It was popping on Friday night when we got there…read more Our server seemed a bit frazzled, but food service was still prompt. We opted for "Feed Me" and Chef always delivers really fresh seafood and creative flavors. I'm still not over the flounder that they made look like a flower- (see pic). Stunning presentation. We got a couple hot dishes too. I enjoyed the golden nugget- three good sized crispy fried shrimp balls served with delicious blueberry aioli. The hot splash noodles were tasty and sharable. Do get the trio of ice cream if you've got room- the ube cheesecake was my fave flavor. The sake pairing with feed me was also nice touch. Overall great value for quality and portions. Looking forward to our next visit.
