Three drinks were tasty but I imagine half sugar. Goodness gracious they were so sweet. We got the mango lemonade and the brown sugar milk tea (yes, I realize we ordered a drink with "brown sugar" in its name). We each got a roasted pork banh mi and it was excellent. The ingredients were fresh and the bread was perfect. Service was friendly and didn't take too long. The only negative was that the inside was arranged and decorated like they're going out of business. A bit sloppy. But I would go back again. read more

Unassuming little place with some pleasantly surprisingly food. The noodle soup, on a unusually cold day was delicious and I regretted not ordering the large soup. Then the "po' boy" had a great Thai flair that I thoroughly enjoyed. Staff (owners?) were young, friendly and personable with everyone. read more

They were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious we ordered the grilled pork sandwich which came with chips. I got the chicken soup and chicken curry soup it was delicious and hit the spot because we were feeling sick. And a huge matcha milk tea. The cafe is cute with a small seating area and a restroom. Not many places have a restroom. I didn't take pictures because we were hungry. Will go back before our visit ends. I want to try the huge cookies. read more

SUCH A GOOD SPOT TO STOP BY!!!! The drinks were refreshing! Tasted fresh and cooling -- much needed in a hot summer day. Had many tons to choose from and service was super friendly and knowledgeable. After walking awhile and before a full day of exploring -- this is exactly what was needed. The jelly was amazing and I enjoyed my mango jasmine green tea -- YUM. read more

I was brought to Mr Bubbles by one of good friends who spoke highly of the food. As soon as you walk in the door the smell of the food hits you in the face. It smelled so good!!! The employees greeted us as soon as we walked in the door, they were very friendly and helpful. I ordered the spicy curry shrimp ramen, and the chicken avocado wrap (added spicy Mayo). I enjoy spicy food and this food was perfect. The ramen I could eat everyday, it came with ramen, carrots, cabbage, curry, and shrimp. The shrimp curry ramen will from here on out be my go to. The chicken wrap was also amazing. It had grilled chicken, carrots, spicy Mayo ( added it does not originally come on it), and cucumber. This spot of definitely a must try!! read more

We tried this since we were in town and the raving reviews we just had to. Grilled shrimp spring rolls 5/5 I really love this take on the regular spring rolls. The shrimps were plentiful and very well seasoned. They really help balanced the noodles. I really enjoyed them. Combo banh mi 4/5 The loaf of bread was huge and baked to a good crunch. The insides were good. Mango black tea 3/5 This tasted more like just sweet tea with boba. The boba was super soft. I prefer boba with a little bite. The drink overall was decent. Green smoothie 3/5 It was light with a strange floral taste. I did get it without sugar but the floral just threw me off a bit. Very healthy tasting. It was not my favorite but might be for others. read more

Everyone comes to Nola for Creole/Cajun/Soul food, but I mainly eat Vietnamese here. The impact of Vietnamese immigrants on the city's variety of cuisines is not to be denied. Perfect grilled shrimp bahn mi, perfect crackly French bread, just enough heat, a work of art. It's a little off the beaten path from the Quarter, but take the streetcar down a few stops and you won't be disappointed. Protip: they have an in with Dong Phuong's king cakes.

Mr. Bubbles Cafe - Ube, Pandan, a nice twist - Vietnamese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Back in CA, I had an unhealthy obsession with the Quickly chain and was devastated to find my favorite branch has closed down. Been looking for a worthy contender in NOLA for years now and here I've finally found it! Not many places do a decent blended boba drink; they're often not sweet enough, not creamy, the ice is too coarse/crunchy, or the boba is still hard at the center. This one, however, was perfect. Nice strong flavor, sweet how I like it, and well blended. The boba was made right too. I tried the taro coconut smoothie with almond milk and boba and have no complaints at all. My only confusion was that I asked if they could do a blended thai tea and was told that they couldn't, but there are pictures of blended thai tea here on Yelp. :/ Hmmm... I'll definitely be back and I guess I'll ask about it again. read more

My friends and I came here for some bubble tea and were disappointed. We ordered the brown sugar milk tea and and the peach manga iced tea. They were watered down and the syrup tasted really strong and chemically. It was definitely lacking in flavor and not very sweet. read more

Solid option for a quick lunch downtown. Parking can be tricky along Canal, but worth stopping in. Food is fairly priced- $8.25 for banh mi w chips, boba is $6 for 24oz. BBQ pork banh mi is really flavorful and large. Jasmine milk tea with boba was also great- strong jasmine flavor and not too sweet, they don't add a ton of ice so you get a lot of tea with a good boba:tea ratio. I would re-order both again. The employees are really nice and helpful if you have any questions and have your order ready quickly. You can eat here, or they'll pack everything up for you in a to-go bag read more

So pleased with my experiences here! The workers are all so friendly and the seating areas are always nice and clean. Their Bánh mì is very filling and reasonably priced. My favorite is the chicken. At the register they have a little flip book of what each Bánh mì looks like. The soft baguette, marinated meat and fresh vegetables make such a great combination. I also tried their Jasmine milk tea. My biggest turn off when it comes to milk tea is when it's too sweet but this one was just right and I didn't have to ask for a lower sweetness level! The boba was also soft and cooked well. My only complaint is that I wish they had a smaller size option. I had ordered King cakes from Nola Bun Mi for pick-up at this location. They take orders through their Instagram (@nolabunmi) for pickup on specific days. Orders are limited so turn on notifications for their posts! They offer ube with cream cheese frosting and pandan with coconut cream cheese frosting. I'm pretty new to New Orleans so this was my first King cake ever and it did not disappoint!! Highly recommend checking them out. read more

veggie wraps, bubble tea, and (during Mardi Gras) king cakes are all great. Worth it!!

We were initially excited to try their po-boy banh mi's while sipping on bubble tea but was quite disappointed. We ordered a banh mi combo meat, jasmine milk tea, and spring rolls: Banh Mi: the bun was covered with garlic aioli but we only tasted the butter which did not worked well with the cold cut and char siew; which tasted stale Jasmine Bubble Tea: you can taste the jasmine tea, but the boba was very soft without any bounce Spring Rolls: the best tasting dish we ordered, but the flavors were not extraordinary We may have came on an off-day but we will not be returning any time soon! read more

Finally made it 30min before closing. Their hours are super inconvenient. Anywho, I ordered the grilled shrimp banh mi and an avocado smoothie. Both were really very good. The pickled veggies and cucumber just elevates banh mi above most sandwiches. Shrimp were well seasoned and cooked fresh. Servers were friendly. Smoothie was delicious. Glad I finally made it over in time read more

This place is adorable and super clean. I am happy to have found a local place that makes my favorite smoothie. I found Mr. Bubble on Yelp and brought my besty here for bubble tea. It is located at a less busy area of Canal so parking was a breeze. We both ordered avocado bubble tea with tapioca bubbles and strawberry popping bubbles. It was delicious!! My besty preferred the strawberry bubbles. I like a mix of both, just for fun. The krewe behind the counter were on point and very courteous. There were several people picking up to-go orders and they seemed steady but not overcrowded. They had several lunch selections that looked good but we had already eaten and just wanted the drinks. I will definitely be back! read more

Ok, bubble tea is an awesome thing, if you are a kid with a sweet tooth. When you are nearing 50 and a diabetic, maybe not so much. The thing is that it is soo refreshing and cold and the tea place is soooop cold and nice, I couldn't help it. I fell in love. I had passion fruit tea with mango and strawberries. Be sure to get tapioca pearls for your authentic bubbles. We also had 2 orders of Vietnamese style avocado spring rolls, soft crap and fresh. Everything here is a step up from normal and very clean. Clean is a big deal to me and most people. This is nice and very clean. read more

Mr. Bubbles Cafe - Enjoying bubble tea from Mr Bubbles - Vietnamese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Yeaahhhhh the same owner, company or not as the MrBubble on the Westbank, idk; anyWHO something of that nature. But located in WORLD FAMOUS CANAL STREET, easily accessible to yours truly; and I'm loving it. All the bubble tea my little heart desires. And the flavors: mango, red bean, kiwi... Banh Mi, bubble tea, spring wraps & all that jazz. I'll have to make my way back to have some of these good, good fixings. I love the fresh, open feel of the seating area. Mini round tables are great for solo eating or dining with a friend. I found pricing to be fair; and I like the ability to purchase items via electronic means, hello, who carries cash now-a-days???? Once again, located on ALWAYS busy Canal St, parking is tight and if you do find a spot, you'd better feed the meters... FYI, beware, meter maids come out of NOWHERE. read more

Mr. Bubbles Cafe - Bahn Mi, Thai ice tea and a refresher - Vietnamese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

They can make a good Banh Mi here. The veggies are fresh and the meats are prepared with a ton of flavor. As NOLA is a boba desert and Asian food desert at that, Mr. Bubbles is an exciting find. Taro milk tea was good, though the boba was too chewy. Another time, I had the strawberry milk tea, and the boba was perfect. The addition of strawberry pieces in the drink was great. The larger size is just around $4 with additional charges for toppings. I think I reached over $5 the other day for a boba, but I'm not complaining. I need a boba fix once in a while. Banh mi's are inexpensive for lunch and service is pretty quick. Hats off to Mr. Bubbles, whoever he is. Side note: During the water boil advisory, they made their coffee with bottled water. How cool of them. read more

Good Vietnamese food with the bubble tea. I recommend the lemongrass tofu banh mi and the apple kiwi green smoothie! read more

Pretty straightforward what these guys do: Vietnamese sandwiches, spring rolls, and drinks, all made fresh. The options are many within that setup, and it took me a while to settle on a very green apple and avocado boba smoothie. The combination of flavors worked (they let you combine two flavors at the base price) and it was a pretty big smoothie even at the regular size. The spring rolls were likewise substantive, with tofu and avocado proving more filling than the rice noodles and cucumber one sometimes gets with these things. When making sandwiches, they have multiple veggie and tofu options, and let you customize the toppings. All that at a good downtown location. What else could I ask for? read more

I'm very surprise I haven't done an review on this small, family run, sandwich and boba shop! I come here practically every time I go Asian grocery shopping. I always get their banh mi xa xiu with no toasting to bread and veggies on the side. They do stuff the sandwich so you never feel as tho you are just eating bread. It has a pate paste and butter spread to give it a creamy taste. The veggies consists of pickled daikon and carrots, fresh cilantro, a cucumber spear and thin sliced jalapeños. A bit more expensive than the other place in the east but its worth it! I also get their boba drinks....i alternate between the strawberry smoothie or the Vietnamese coffee shake. Always add boba cause their boba is chewy even after some time in my cup...it doesn't harden. No matter if I already at dim sum next door, this is my stop before heading home to get my fav boba beverage and sandwich to take to work the next day! read more

Awesome! My only complaint is limited parking (street or lot), but thankfully we went after the rush/lunch crowd and got a spot right out in front! It's hidden in the New Orleans BioInnovation Center so it was great that they had a sign of specials out front so we knew where it was! They have bubble milk teas, smoothies (that you can add boba too), banh mi, salads, and even a banh mi wrap! We went for a celebratory work lunch and everyone loved the food! The guy at the cash register was super nice and fun and even handled our silly jokes about getting a job there, with ease, so give him a raise for dealing with us! The banh mi range around $5-7, with a majority around $5.75 and they are quite filling for a sandwich! I loved the grilled pork banh mi and my avocado smoothie was awesome! And for $13.60 plus tax and tip the price can't be beat for a downtown lunch spot! Can't wait to try the banh mi wraps next! read more

The savior of the neighborhood! Despite being so close to the quarter, there's a shocking lack of food options in this area, and this restaurant was exactly what we needed. Fresh ingredients, energizing coffee, and a long list of Boba tea and smoothies, this place has it all! Great for breakfast and lunch. The staff is so friendly, the music is good, it's a great place to come and get some work done. read more

Generous amount of yummy food for a really great price! My friends ordered the combo banh mi and they liked it, but said it had a twist from the traditional banh mi. They said it had a cajun style to it in the sauce. My other friend ordered the spring rolls and loved them. I ordered a chicken salad and it was humongous! It was filling and delicious! Perfectly marinated and grilled chicken with generous portions and the avocado was a nice touch. I also ordered an avocado, spinach, and banana smoothie and I was surprised of how big their cup was! In California, you'd never see these generous portions at these prices. It was delicious and was a meal in itself! Clean bathrooms and great service! read more

I had the shrimp wrap, which was really delicious, a little kick in it too.

Mr. Bubbles Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I was really disappointed with my food because of all these great reviews and knowing that NoLa has a big Vietnamese presence (so you expect great things). The bubble tea I ordered was probably one of the worst I've had. The bubbles were way too overcooked, the coffee I got it with was okay but the bubbles just threw off the whole drink. The banh mi was TINY and didn't taste that authentic. I will say that the interior was really clean and service was fast/friendly. read more

It did not seem busy so I was thinking of walking by. I like this place a lot I feel like the food could've still had more flavor however the servings were very generous and the atmosphere was quite nice. It's right by Mosaic so the lighting is on point with the white flooring. The strawberry infused black tea with boba was actually quite sweet and the boba was soft. The only disappointing thing was lack of flavor! read more

Wow! I can't believe the reviews from this place. That was by far the worst Vietnamese sandwiches I have had. I ordered one chicken and 3 meatball sandwiches and one avocado, one Thai and one black milk tea. The drinks were fine. The smoothie could be creamier but it was no big deal. The sandwiches were awful. No flavor and ended throwing away after a couple of bites. Both the chicken and meatball were not seasoned at all and the meatball smelled funny. I hate to do this to a restaurant but hopefully they will do better to improve their food. read more
