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!

The ambiance here exceeded my expectations--the dining area is much larger than you'd guess from the modest strip-center exterior. The furnishings and décor are tastefully done. The restaurant offers table service, and both the service and our waitress were wonderful during our visit. My three favorite dishes were the Tom Yum soup, the Thai Isaan-style ground pork, and the Papaya Salad. We also enjoyed the Drunken Noodles and the Roti with Massaman sauce. The Tom Yum soup was phenomenal. I love this dish to begin with, and their version is hands-down the best I've ever had. The flavor was amazing, and the fresh vegetables really elevated it. It's served with rice, making it a hearty and satisfying bowl. I definitely recommend this place and think it's going to become very popular.

I've drank a lot of Vietnamese coffee (cafe su da) and the one I got from here has the perfect combination of amount of drink, ice, coffee, and sweetness. I could tell by the color of the drink that it would be good. A taste verifies that it wasn't too sweet (too much condensed milk), too watered down, or have too much ice (not enough coffee). If I could take a gallon of this home with me, I'd be so happy! The shrimp spring rolls were presented well, and had fresh ingredients. Pho was tasty, served with a nice portion of veggies ( ean sprouts, jalapeno peppers, lime wedges, and basil. The grilled pork and egg roll vermicelli was another dish that looked and tasted so good. I had only a bite of this so I plan to return to get the Fusion Vermicelli (grilled shrimp, grilled pork, and fried egg rolls).

What a spectacular, memorable evening…read more Recommended by local friends, this spot offers a Pan-Asian menu with a subtle New Orleans twist. It's a tasting menu only--very well priced at $95. The meal is structured in four "tranches," each with three choices. Our party of four managed to sample almost the entire menu. We started with cocktails and a dark chocolate Japanese ale, which set the tone nicely. Standout dishes included the tuna solera, scallion lamb, salt-baked shrimp, satay chicken, and key lime pie. Honestly, there wasn't a weak dish in the lineup. We all opted for the wine pairing ($75), which was thoughtfully selected and generously poured. Service was excellent throughout. All in, with tip, dinner for four came to about $1,200--and it felt well worth it. Highly recommended.

The milk bread and miso butter were my favorite part. The server sent me home with some of the butter. I also love that they have a tea menu. Beautiful white table cloth restaurant with moody lighting and a great bar program. I would go back for another girls' night. Heads up, if you book a reservation online, you have to put up a deposit. We ended up just walking in and sitting at the bar.

But then the menu changed but it was fine bc Nico helped steer us to all the good stuff! We ordered a bunch of dishes and ate family style so we could try everything! The stand outs to me were the Pani Puri with the fiery mint water that you pour and lets you control the heat (you eat it in one bite), the Pork Dan Dan Buco Di Creste noodles (we asked not too spicy, we're getting older! Haha ), the Gulf Shrimp Pakora, and the ice cream pie from Lucy Boone! Mister Mao is where the old Dick and Jenny's restaurant used to be across from Rouse's on Tchoupitoulas.

You get to try so much, we decided to get 3 since there were 6 of us. I enjoyed the food more than the cocktails. The coffee cocktail was really not good and possibly my least fav coffee cocktail in the city. I think it needs a revamp. The ingredients are basically hoodoo chicory, it just tasted like all bitter. I didn't order any other drinks after that. I did try the gals drinks and they were all just ok. As for the food, I think the clear winner was the garlic noods. Not only did every slurp theirs up, fighting over it, almost all of us ordered a garlic noodle to go! That was top notch and I still thinking about that today! The dumplings were good, the shrimp was better than the rice dumpling. I enjoyed the ginger salad and fried chicken. It was an interesting fusion of flavors and a very fun atmosphere to be in. I will absolutely be back for the drool worthy garlic noodles.

I stopped by here around 2pm (after lunch rush) on a weekday after picking up a friend from the airport. The staff were so friendly and helpful even though we left a bit of a mess with the baby deciding to throw her food around after her belly was full. I apologize for the mess and thank you for taking care of us!!! I noticed the staff worked together as a team to take care of its patrons. We ordered the banh xeo- it was very crispy and full of fillings (bean sprouts, onions, pork, shrimp). The banh xeo itself had a noticeable sweet coconut taste which complemented the savory filings. The bun bo hue had a good spicy lemongrass flavor and the meats were tender and juicy. The lemongrass tofu vermicelli was also good! Meal portions were generous and we enjoyed all the food. Nudo is definitely worthy to be added to your list of lunch/dinner rotations. We had a great dining experience there and hope you do too!
