    Mango jasmine green tea with lychee jelly
    Erika C.

    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.

    Shrimp curry ramen
    Theresa K.

    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!!

    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.

    Double pork (meatballs and shredded) with crunchy carrots and cucumber with added siracha mayo.

    Nice atmosphere to sit down for lunch of freshly made bahn mi and a smoothie so I can go for it with added raw jalapeños and siracha sauce packets to add to my liking. Not spicy with out those so anyone can try it. Nice stained glass windows and hi music.

    Ube, Pandan,  a nice twist

    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. See photo to order.

    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.

    jasmine milk tea with boba
    Kristen N.

    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

    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.

    Grilled shrimp banh mi
    Shalon P.

    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

    So many choices! We had the Thai Tea and the frozen coffee. It was very good. It has the plastic sealed top on their drinks. We also added boba which was soft and prepared correctly. There are other add-ins like lychee jelly. Service was really good. Great place to try out. Will return.

    Avocado Bubble Teas!!
    Maria M.

    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!

    Enjoying bubble tea from Mr Bubbles

    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.

    I had been to New Orleans since 1987 to attend JazzFest until my near death and rebirth in 1999…read morewith Celiac disease about 6-7 times. After I was diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance as a foodie I thought my culinary life was over and one of the many, but not only joys, of going to Nola is the food. I was reluctant to go and then a bit later 20 years ago Katrina hit this great city. When I did return my reluctance of going due to my food restrictions was born out, but the fact that the people in New Orleans fry everything, including water. Besides jambalaya and some fresh fish, I couldn't eat anything. However, due to a friend who was born in New Orleans, grew up in New Orleans and lives half of the year there with her family involved in the restaurant business, Pat introduced me for a number of chefs and one in particular, Michael Gulotta, who modified dishes or even made me specially dishes that were gluten free. Every time I went to New Orleans, I tried to go to his two Vietnamese Cajun restaurants, MoPho and Maypop. Michael Gulotta, chef-owner at Mopho and Maypop was born and raised in New Orleans. Michael began cooking in local restaurants at a young age. After graduating from the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute, he joined the newly opened Restaurant August. Gulotta then took leave to train in the Italian Riviera and Germany's Black Forest. When Hurricane Katrina hit, Michael returned home to help rebuild and assist with August's re-opening. He was named chef de cuisine in 2007 and led the award-winning kitchen for six years, while establishing relationships with local farmers and purveyors. He opened his first restaurant, MOPHO, in January of 2014 with his brother, Jeffrey Gulotta, and high-school friend, Jeffrey Bybee. Located in New Orleans' Mid City, MOPHO was a true neighborhood restaurant and a destination for Southeast Asian inspired cuisine utilizing the Louisiana pantry. In its first year MOPHO was nominated for America's Best New Restaurant by Bon Appétit magazine and named Restaurant of the Year by New Orleans Magazine. In 2016 Michael was named one of Top 30 Chefs to Watch in the nation by Plate Magazine, A New Orleans Rising Star by Starchefs, a Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine, and Chef of the Year by New Orleans Magazine. In 2017, his team opened its second full-service restaurant, Maypop, in the Central Business District of New Orleans. Maypop was named a Top 5 Best New Restaurant by The Times Picayune, A Best New Restaurant by New Orleans Magazine, a New Orleans Top 20 Restaurants by Condé Nast Traveler, and a New Orleans' Top Ten Restaurants for 2019, by Brett Anderson. Michael has also been a semifinalist for The James Beard Awards Best Chef South for the past four years. Most recently, his team opened a second MOPHO location in the new Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. On my trip to New Orleans this past May, I was saddened to learn that Michael was closing MoPho and Maypop, casualties of the so difficult business of owning a restaurant I know all too well. After JazzFest one evening on MoPho's second to last day, Pat and I went to pay our respects and I got to thank Michael for his kindness showing me there was culinary life after my diagnosis not only at his restaurant but when he catered the main stage at JazzFest, but he also introduced me to more fusion possibilities which I have incorporated in some of the food I make. On the last day of Maypop, my brother Jeff and I dined at Maypop, Michael's more upscale joint which served delicious food and not to be undone, after both closed on that Sunday in May, I saw the MoPho at the airport right in front of my terminal to fly home and I got the greatest wings on the planet to fly home with: CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS WITH NUOC MAM CARAMEL. I have no idea what exactly that is except Cajun chicken spices with a Vietnamese caramel sauce that is unparalleled in it's flavor, bite and marriage of cultures that was so good Pat would always ask for more on the side. I'm sure Michael will get back in the game at some point but I write this with gratitude to Pat for introducing me to this great Chef and to Chef Gulotta for taking the time to show me what I could eat and what modifications he could make to his food for me.

We started with a few fried pork rolls that were The Usual but fine. One of us got the beef broth with veggies, and she appreciated that there was some bok choy and mushrooms thrown in there in addition to the typical carrots and broccoli. The broth is definitely flavorful. The rare steak pho was thinly sliced and seemed OK, and our daughter was happy with her wonton pho. Service is speedy albeit not necessarily warm. But the soup is hot, and on a cold day, nothing really beats that. Four satisfied stars.

    I was really excited to try Pho Tau Bay for a couple reasons. I know it's a very historic…read moreVietnamese restaurant in the area, and it got shouted out on a recent Bon Appetit video by the chef at Emeril's. Both reasons for hype! Coming to the restaurant, you do have to time it right, as it closes at 7 which makes it not an option if you want a later dinner. Lunch or early dinner it is. The system here is counter service, then take a number and a tray and seat yourself. Food comes out pretty quickly, there were few other customers there at the time when I went in the early evening, and my appetizer came out within a few minutes, and my pho came out within ten minutes. I had a half order of the spring rolls with shrimp and pork, and a beef combo pho. The spring rolls were wrapped very well, with great structural integrity that made them easy to eat and dip. However, the pork was really dry and tough, and the only reason it didn't ruin the texture of the whole thing is because the pork slices were quite thin. The shrimp was fresh but also sliced quite thin to the point where it was almost not even noticeable. The wrapper was quite thick and felt like it had been left out for a while, so it was quite dry. The pho was good, but the meats were overall quite chewy and tough, and there was significantly less meat than I would expect for an extra large order. They also were pretty stingy with the herbs. I am used to there being a fair amount of onion, scallion, and cilantro in pho, and here it was like they finger-pinched the herbs in rather than grabbing a handful. Overall, it was not bad, but it was underwhelming, and I have had many better Vietnamese meals elsewhere.

    We came here after visiting the Vietnamese Exhibit at the New Orleans History Museum. We learned…read morethat Pho Tau Bay was one of the most historic Vietnamese restaurants in the city.

I ventured out and got the chicken roti to just try what their version was like. I enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommend this restaurant !
