Dang, am I glad I tried this place. Haha. I started with a nice refreshing glass of the Viet lemonade. That drink knocked my socks off. I really like lemonade but this one was sweeter and not as tangy as most and very delicious. We then had an order of the egg rolls which were crispy and warm and bursting with flavor. They didn't even need the accompanying dipping sauce but it did enhance the flavor in a very nice way when I dipped one of my pieces into it. For our entrees we had a bowl of pho and split a grilled pork bahn mi. The pho was phenomenal and that bahn mi was out of this world. It's been three weeks and I'm still craving another one of those sandwiches. I could have easily eaten two or three or seven. Yum! Go give Dang's a try! You'll be dang happy you did! read more

First time trying pho and it was great! The broth, noodles, freshness and crunch from the fresh ingredients/ condiments made a big difference. The only thing I didn't like is the meat/ beef was pretty tough and not tender. Other then that I would have given it 5 stars. read more

Dang's - Beef pho. - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This place hit the mark in several key areas. The service was friendly enough and actually got better as the meal went on. The spring rolls were as good as it gets. They have several options in that department and I went with shrimp. The hoison and peanut sauce was spot on as well. For my entree I had a chicken noodle dish labeled as spicy. It was quite tasty but I wanted it to be a little more spicy. The price was very reasonable. It looks a little divey but it wasn't scary. read more

Best Vietnamese in BR. A lot of people come for the pho, but the real star here are the banh mi (Vietnamese poboy, which is a steal at just $3), the hieu tieu (with wonton) and the bun bo hue which are absolutely delicious. I eat the banh mi and hieu tieu/bun bo hue as a sort of "Vietnamese combo meal" and it makes for a terrific meal. read more

I'm a big fan of Pho. Coming from living in Los Angeles with so many Vietnamese choices, and so relatively few here. This is definitely a dive worth checking out. The menu selection is not as vast as Viet Garden, but it's less expensive and the Egg and Rice Noodle dishes are very tasty. I've had both Pork and Beef flavored Pho. They have two sizes, small ($6.50??) and large with a price difference of about $.50 or $.75. The small bowl is enough for most people and I'm a big guy. My wife and I judge the quality of a Vietnamese restaurant by their shrimp spring rolls. These are very good here. They come in two sizes, small (2) or large (4). If you don't specify they'll bring you the large by default and it comes with a deep little dish of peanut sauce. They also have an iced tea that's excellent, it's Lotus and Jasmine mixed together. The manager knew I liked it so much she gave me a bigger cup to take with me. The decor isn't very exciting though, like it was trapped in the 70's and never left. It's a simple cafe like setting with tables and chairs and a drab beige setting. The tables have the usual suspects adorning the tables (Rooster Sauce, Oyster Sauce, hot pepper sauce, etc). I wouldn't exactly call this romantic but it was quiet. This place is like finding Anthony's Italian Deli, if you're willing to go there, then going here shouldn't be an issue. The shopping center itself is a total dive. Again coming from SoCal, this place fits right at home. The shopping center looks like it was never updated, ever and the parking isn't much better. If you're adventurous and are willing to try out new and different places, this is a good place to get a lunch or dinner for a fair price that will please your Pho cravings. read more

Great Vietnamese food, and my favorite place in town to get duck. More traditional menu choices than Saigon Noodle, as Dangs doesn't have the specialty spring rolls and lacks a colorful, Vietnamese-noob-friendly menu. read more

Dang's - Best pho, pho sho - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

It was a crowded Sunday when we waited anxiously for a table. I was starving so I knew I'd be forgiving for the wait and in effect the food. Unfortunately on this visit- the food took so long, the service so confused and the flavors so lacking that I submit to you, oh wondrous Yelpers, this 2 star review. The girl that took our order didn't write anything down so they forgot 2 items. Then the food started arriving. Not all together mind you- so that my dining companions were done by the time my bowl arrived. Honestly I wouldn't care if the food was up to snuff- but it wasn't- let me explain in the hopes they read this. The seafood crepe was a joke. This is supposed to a crispy, slightly gooey shell filled studded with pork and shrimp, filled perhaps with beansprouts. Ya know? We've all had a good one. This was an oily soggy mess and COMPLETELY raw in the middle. I knew they were backed up so didn't bother sending it back. Wife's pho arrived and it's all about the broth. This broth? S-W-E-E-T. Like sugar bomb sweet and no discernible spices (i'm looking at you star anise, clove, cinnamon etc.) They were no where to be found. They left out the brisket and gave double tripe (not the order) so there was that too. Friend's chicken pho was ok he said- but tough pieces of chicken breast made it laborious. The only highlight was mine- the bun bo hue. This was pretty spot on broth wise- spicy bright aromatic but the meat within was tough and sinewy- and where's my pork knuckle? Also clear that they were using low quality thin sliced luncheon ham- just lowish quality in meats across the board. the search for righteous vietnamese food in the red stick continues. read more

This little hole in the wall is amazing!!!! Blew me away with just how yummy everything was. We had a chef with us and he couldn't believe how good every last bite was. The pork fried rice was the best I've ever had in my life! The fish sauce wings are to die for. If you are reading this, just go in and get something, anything because it was all amazing. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. read more

Have always loved this place. Very friendly staff and great food. I would recommend the vermicelli and milk tea. Delicious!

Great place to dine in to eat some Vietnamese food. Atmosphere is really relaxing with the sounds of a water fountain dripping or and chill type music. I've eaten the pho here and it's great, but I'm more of a rice person so I normally get the grilled chicken or pork with rice and everything like eggs veggies shredded pork and such. I believe it's family owned so the staff is all family members. So if it gets busy you will have to wait a little bit, but it's not longer than most places like a chili's or something. The price is okay, but it's not something I could do everyday. I spend roughly 40 dollars on 2 meals 2 drinks and 1 appetizer. Overall, I come here to fill my craving for Vietnamese food. =) read more

Dang's - Number 38! - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Stumbled on this place when I was checking out the various Asian Markets in the area. Being the first time I've been here, I tried several items on the menu. The waitress probably thought I was crazy ordering so much. The Pho was great. I ordered this egg, shrimp, Beansprout - crepe (an appetizer) It was pretty large. When you dip it in the fish sauce, add the picked carrots, Lettuce, and cucumber, it tastes really good. Also got the Pork skewer, Spring roll with Pork and Shrimp, and Beef wrapped in this green leaf (they were all appetizers). The beef wrapped thing, not worth it. The Spring roll with the dipping sauce was good, not spectacular, But one of the better ones I've had, but could still use some work. The pork skewer was decent, but you need to dip it in the fish sauce to make it good. I have mixed reviews on the Lemonade, Tried both the Regular and Soda version. I've read the other reviews. I guess it's just a matter of taste. Others seem to have loved it. Personally, it was too sweet for me. I would prefer it just slightly more tart, to make it refreshing. So, the appetizers, I'd rank the place as a 3 star, the Pho was really good, so a 5 star. Service was Great. All the veggies were really fresh. The place looks run down and kind of sketchy (as can be expected for most authentic viet restaurants in Baton Rouge. (different standards and emphasis on cleanliness than we learn to expect of our normal restaurants.... Funny how vietnamese restaurants we tend to accept as being somewhat dirty, go to a steak house or Italian restaurant and we'd be abhorred). Anyways, I did like the food there. If you are looking for Authentic Vietnamese, should stop by here. Its always a good sign when you see a restaurant with lots of people from that ethnic group eating there. read more

In a shopping center, off Florida. It's such a hole in the wall place, but do not judge a book by its cover. Went for lunch on a workday. Quick service and the staff is friendly. I got the shrimp Pho and my coworkers and I shared orders of the shrimp spring rolls and chicken spring rolls. Everything was so good and filling. I totally recommend. read more

There are not great options for Vietnamese food in Baton Rouge. At least in my opinion. It's either too pricey for what it is, or just not up to moms cooking. But who can beat Mom's cooking, am i right? Dang's is not exactly in a premiere location, but i liked the food and it didn't necessarily disappoint. We got the spring rolls, the duck appetizer, pho Dac biet, and a banh mi dac biet as well. I have to say i wasn't a fan of the duck, and i didn't like how much lettuce was in the spring rolls - too much IMO. The pho, however, was delicious. I went in on a cold night so it was even more perfect! The flavors were on point, and they weren't stingy with meats. The banh mi was good flavor wise, but i could tell it wasn't Dong Phuong bread. Can't blame them for not using Dong Phuong bread, though Overall, i would technically give it 3 1/2 stars because there were a few things i didn't care for. However, with the service and the prices, i honestly can't complain. With everything that we ordered including a freshly squeezed lemonade, and a Diet Coke, our entire meal was right under $50! (Not including tip, of course). read more

Very good food. The menu is seemingly-authentic-to-someone-not-Vietnamese. The banh mi is very good on very fresh bread. My party had rice and noodle dishes, and both were very good. The duck appetizer and steamed buns were alright, but everything else was very good. Large portions, good service. I would return again for sure. read more

The staff is so nice and the food is delicious. Got the rare steak pho and spring rolls! So far the best pho I've had in BRLA. Definitely going to be coming back!! read more

Yum! What a hidden gem! Seated right away, food came fairly quickly and was delicious! I had the curry pho and I basically licked the bowl. I order take out from here often, great customer service & the best pho around! read more

Great pho here, not super oily like other places! The vermicelli is hot not cold and makes it more satisfying to eat. Also they don't have higher prices if you wanted a roll and meat in the same bowl. Other places tend to charge more if you wanted both in the same bowl. Overall great food, and milk teas! read more

Love the pho. Very good. Will definitely be back. Very friendly people. Place just has a great vibe to it. Price is definitely great too. Love going here. read more

I was absolutely thrilled, when my friend introduced me to Dang's several years ago! I had been missing the ethnic foods from home and was so excited to learn about the variety of Vietnamese establishments around BR. Their fresh spring rolls are just as delicious as their warm, crispy egg rolls!! I also loved their seafood dishes that include sauteed squid! I am one of those true squid fanatics! I have also had their crispy noodle dish and that is to die for!! I often crave the noodle nest with mixed vegetables and beef...heaven on earth people! When you are looking for some authentic, tasty and healthy Vietnamese food...visit Dang's!! Yay!! read more

Great food for a good price. The Hu Tieu and the egg rolls were amazing. Service was stellar, and there was almost no wait for our food. Definitely will be going here again. read more

I must start out with saying I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! It is true Vietnamese food!!! Everything is always served hot a fresh. The egg rolls are very good. I always have the hardest time deciding on what to get! The combination pho is so good and I always ask for extra meatballs. The Vietnamese crepe with shrimp is always my go to and makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Just ask for extra lettuce so you have enough to wrap each bite in it (just a mere suggestion). The vermicelli is my newest love along with the Vietnamese salad. My words fall short trying to describe everything. I would suggest finding a friend that likes Vietnamese food as well and bring them here. Ask for a large table and order a few things to try and you won't be disappointed. My only upset is that Waitr isn't in my range to deliver :( read more

If I could, I would rate them 0 stars!!! We came from out of town and was searching for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant on yelp and stopped in to eat because of the great reviews. We ordered 3 orders of pork/shrimp spring rolls, 3 BUN BO HUE, 2 PHO, along with 1 boba Milk tea & 2 Thai teas, and 2 Dr Peppers. It cost $93!!!! I believed they overcharged us! First of all, the place looks run down but we wanted to try the food anyway. The waiter was a little slow but we understand he may be a newbie. He put in a wrong order, instead of the milk tea he came out with green milk tea. We corrected him so he went back and got yelled at by the guy in the back. Secondly, BUN BO HUE isn't the real authentic deal; they do not come with gio heo or huyet so if you guys are coming here for that, this is NOT the place. What bun bo hue don't come with it?! And lastly, the boba drinks were horrible. It didn't taste like any tea flavors at all. It was more like a dessert che. So yeah all you Vietnamese have been warned, do not eat here if you like these things. read more

Me and my wife moved from Houston and were a bit disappointed to learn there were not many places to get pho. My wife loves pho and during one of her pregnant cravings, I searched on yelp for a place to get Vietnamese noodles in Baton Rouge. My expectations were not that high; we were just looking for anything to help curb the need... We found Dang's Restaurant. Wow! Though not the fanciest looking establishment, my wife and I were very curious. My wife having grown up in Dallas area and I in southern California, we knew that the best places for pho are hidden gems. And a hidden gem this was. We started off with some shrimp spring rolls (non-fried type), which came with your standard peanut sauce with chopped peanuts. This sauce had some pickled daikon radish and carrots on top that added some crunch and a contrasting acidity to the sweet sauce. The spring rolls had a bit of fried shallots inside that added a nice crunch and a bit of savoriness to it all. The wait staff was very attentive and had timed the orders so that the our pho arrived right when we were done with those delightful starters. We ordered the combination beef pho. The rare beef actually came out mostly rare, to our surprise. We have been to too many places where it comes out overcooked. Before adding the usual extras that come with, i.e. lime, thai basil, or mung beans sprouts, we tasted the soup. Amazing!!! Not too salty as you find in some places, just right. It lends itself greatly to the extras that are served in it, the beef, meatballs, etc. that build layers on top of that great soup. Do not kill the great soup by pouring Hoisin or Sriracha directly into it. If you like it hot, use the Jalepenos. Use the sauce dish they give you for the Hoisin sauce and Sriracha. Dip your meats. I am Asian, but not Vietnamese, so I may not be the best judge of pho, but I love this place. Also, it is fairly inexpensive, so it is definitely worth trying. We will DEFINITELY be back for more. read more

The wait staff was attentive from the get go. We initially were the only people in there at just after 11a but more people showed up. We had pho, pork combination noodle soup (forget the name) and spring rolls. The combination soup with the quail eggs was very good and will be back for more. read more

Dang's is definitely a hidden jewel in Baton Rouge. Quite possibly the best Vietnamese food, but hands down best pho in town! Service is fast and friendly. Spring rolls are also excellent. It's a hole in the wall, but definitely worth the visit. read more

Dang's - Yummy Pho! - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I love banh mi and so excited that Baton Rouge has banh mi! And it's awesome! Don't be deterred by the basic furnishings and simple interior. Service is friendly. It looks like a family run spot and while we were there, workers were taking breaks and enjoying what looked to be tasty rice and meat dishes. I only had banh mi (similar to a po boy or sub on french bread) and tried both the combo at $2.50, which comes with a variety of pork including bbq pork, meatball, and the typical spam-like meat, and the grilled seasoned pork at $3.00, which is sort of like sausage. Bread was warm and perfectly crispy. It is what a banh mi is supposed to be - a simple, tasty sandwich with a mix of spiciness, saltiness, and tang on warm soft crunchy bread. Definitely go for the combo which is stuffed with more meat and ask for extra jalapeños and pickled veggies. You can't beat this at $2.50 so treat yourself and get two and save one for later! They also have pho and bun which I'll have to try another day when I'm able to resist a banh mi. read more

There are quite a few Vietnamese restaurants around this area and we decided to try Dang's out for the first time. We ordered Bun Bo Hue and spicy beef stir fry rice noodles. I didn't think the bun bo hue had much flavor or spicy enough but the stir fry noodles was good. Wasn't great though, I've had better ones before. Somewhat disappointed since it has pretty good reviews which led to our decision to try it out. Wasn't impressed and actually prefer others Vietnamese restaurants in town! read more

I don't have a lot of experience eating Vietnamese in the Baton Rouge area, but as far as the pho is concerned- this place is delicious! The grilled pork bun was also very good. Although they have good bread on the Bahn Mi, I've had better elsewhere- I prefer when there's aioli and I'm not a fan of the Vietnamese spam. The lemonade is a glass of limey-heaven that is a must. As far as the actual restaurant, this place really is a gem- so keep in mind it has that hole-in-the-wall feel. My server was very nice, and our food came fairly quickly. read more

This place is in a sketchy part of town that I normally never go to but I will now be going just to eat here! Restaurant is outdated but clean. Staff were all nice! Hardly anyone in there. I am use to great pho since I lived in the PNW for the last few years. I am happy to say their pho was on point! I got the spicy triple meat with mixed veggies. So goooood! So many different choices too! Prices were very reasonable! Will deff be back soon! read more

My coworkers and I stopped by after being turned away from another establishment. And I'm kind of glad we wound up here. Let me begin by saying that I'm not knowledgeable about Vietnamese cuisine. But this restaurant left me with a good first impression. We ordered a spring roll appetizer; it tasted quite fresh. I had the pho with the rare beef (#8 if memory serves). I thought it was amazing with the noodles, the vegetables, the broth, and their use of aromatics. Some food took an extra five minutes, but my friends were glad when they were served. I recommend this place read more

Recently the restaurant changed hands but the song remains the same - top of the line Vietnamese Pho! The new owners haven't changed the decor much, except to remove the huge television that used to play Vietnamese music videos (not much of a loss since now you can actually have a conversation without yelling). The new staff speak fluent English and you can even ask about off menu Vietnamese items if you want to explore the depth and breadth of this wonferful country's food. Located in an old strip mall filled with vietnamese shops and the largest Viet grocery store, it's worth the trip way out to the East end of Florida Blvd! Would recommend to friends and family and have done even since the new owners / cook took over. read more

Some of the best Pho I have had, and the banh mi was great too! Good, quick service, no frills, super cheap. Definitely coming back when we hit town again.

I had the duck with the rolls. The duck was ok but those rolls were flavorless and just a waste. Idk why I thought I was going to get some fresh rolls like what you see in the anime but these were just horrible. Best part of the meal was the bobo tea. The balls at the bottom get annoying after awhile but the tea was still very good and I wanted more. Probably won't come back for another order since this place is way across town from me and I only came there for the duck which is something most restaurants flat out just don't serve read more

It was a quiet Friday dine-in experience at Dang's! Very authentic Vietnamese food - shrimp and pork spring rolls is a classic appetizer and very delicious! The pho tai was extremely tasty. The flavors were wonderful, not salty at all! The food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. The waiter was so kind and nice. Definitely a true Vietnamese restaurant. Worth the drive for the great food! read more

Only a 4 because I know some people want a top of the line restaurant with visually pleasing atmosphere. This spot is older but listen that's not important! This is PHO at its best though! It has layers of flavor other places can't touch. It's my go to "icky feeling" spot. When the sniffles hit to Dangs we go. (To go orders obvi) Quick service, kind staff. Lord, I need to go back ASAP! read more

This is located in a small strip center next to an Asian market and what looks like and Asian billiards bar (we came for an early lunch on the weekend and the billiards bar was packed with activitiy!). I am part Asian so I am used to going to these places in strip centers like this, so do not think twice about eating at Dang's because of location. Excellent variety on the menu, very fresh, quality ingredients, and great flavor. We had a party of four so luckily we were able to try a variety of dishes. Their goi cuon (pork and shrimp rolled in rice paper) was especially good and had a great flavor as they put some additional greens in their roll that other Vietnamese restaurants do not. I was very happy to see other Vietnamese dishes beyond Bun (noodle bowls) and Pho on the menu and I had a wonderful yellow panckage / crepe that was fantastic. I am very glad a local directed us to this place, thanks! read more
