    Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Plate
    Bryan S.

    Nudo a decent place for a quick bite to eat. This place is easy to get to off of veterans and service is usually pretty fast. Plus you can't go wrong with their rice plates and lemongrass chicken.

    Great spot for authentic Vietnamese food. Tried it for the first time and was happily surprised. Got the vermicelli with lemongrass pork & egg rolls. Lots of fresh herbs and veggies, generous portion. Loved the strong lemon grass flavor. Looking forward to trying their pho next time, smelled delicious walking into the restaurant! Cute interior, plenty of seating. Friendly family owned business.

    Nudo is a no nonsense spot for solid Vietnamese food. My daughter and I had lunch here when it was recommended by a friend. It's a brightly decorated, cute, little spot in the heart of Metairie. We had pork bacos, a pork bahn mi and crab rangoons. All were ok, but if you aren't into jalapeños definitely request your food without them. There were lots of them in our food and I'm really not a heavy heat lover. One of the staff members was super friendly and helpful, so that was appreciated.

    So glad I came across this place . Very small spot and very busy . The food was so flavorful and came out very quickly . The broth was very seasoned . I gave it 3 stars because the customer service wasn't the best. The younger guy working the front was very nice but the older waitress lady checked on everyone through out the restaurant except for me during my time there. She even tried to take someone else order that came in after me until the customers stated that I was here first. That in my only concern with this place . But the food overall was a 4/5 .

    Great Pho! Flavorful and aromatic broth. The meats in the combination pho were good. The brisket and round eye steak was a bit tough but I prefer fattier cuts. The meatballs were good and the tendon wasn't too chewy. The sides and accompaniments were plentiful. The restaurant is whimsical and decorated with cute Vietnamese dishes painted in the walls. The vibes were great as they played relaxing R&B music. I took a star off for service. Once they brought the pho to me no one has checked on me to see if I needed anything else. A refill of water or something! But will still definitely return.

    This small place packs so much flavor!!! I'd been wanting to try this spot for a while and finally made it. I'm so glad I did. I was immediately greeted and told to sit where I'd like on the small dining area. I was on my lunch break so I quickly ordered crab Rangoon and a pho ga (chicken) and added meat balls. They brought it all out fast. I was afraid to try the crab rangoon because I've been disappointed so many times other places. But these were really good to my surprise! The pho...I have never had a bowl of soup so hot I'm sweating the entire time eating it. And it was hot the entire time. It was actually hot enough to soften my jalapeños. Jesus himself had to have lit that stove. lol The broth was sooo good!! I didn't have to add anything!! I took it as a sign that this place was a gem because there were several Asians there enjoying a big bowl. I figure if they like it it must be good! I grabbed a Thai tea on the way out the door...perfect. I just needed a bigger cup. lol If you love pho...you gotta come here.

    Nudo Fusion Wings
    Jennifer N.

    FOOD - Nudo Fusion Wings: 6 wings stir-fried with jalapeños and onions. Sooooo good! The wings were huge! 5/5 - Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Crepes): filled with shrimp, pork, onions, beans sprouts, and green onions. Served with vegetables and fish sauce. Crispy and made as ordered ( no bean sprouts). Good but very messy to eat. 4/5 - BBQ Pork Banh Mi: BBQ pork with Vietnamese mayo, sliced cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, and sliced jalapeños. Very good. 4.5/5 SERVICE: Service was decent. Food was ready in a timely manner. Food came out hot! I burned my tongue and the roof of my mouth tasting my kids' pho. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. The food was good. I specifically came to try their pork belly bacos but they didn't' have any. All the other options were meat with lemongrass and I don't like lemongrass so I wasn't able to try it. Bummer.

    Combination Pho / pho dac biet

    I'm from out of town and ordered Nudo on Uber Eats. It took a while for a driver to be assigned to pick up my food, so I called the restaurant to ask if they could cook the rare slices of meat and reheat the soup since I wouldn't have access to a microwave or stove to heat it up at the hotel. They kindly unpacked my already prepared food and accommodated my request. Despite not eating the bowl of pho when it was piping hot, it was quite good. The broth is a deep brown color, but clear and not murky. It is on the sweeter side, but adding some lime and sriracha balances it out. The meats were tender and not tough, and there was plenty of tendon. Just missing the tripe :)

    I don't think I would ever say this but - THIS IS THE BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD I'VE EVER HAD. I would rate it as best in the city!!! The difference between this place and alllll the other places that serve Vietnamese food is FLAVOR. They have the most delicious meats that go in any of your dishes and everything is hot and fresh! I realized that most everyone who works here is friends/family so the service is great because they are all connected AND I found out the main chef who is cooking all the food is an older Vietnamese woman, assuming she may be the grandmother or just an amazing chef. I noticed her back there whipping everything up! The place is on the smaller side with limited seating but once you sit down you are in for a treat!! This is now the only place I want to come for all my spring roll, pho and Ban Mi needs! So glad we stumbled upon this one!

    Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli! Delish!!

    Hands down the best chicken vermicelli bowl and grilled shrimp spring rolls I've had! Everything was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor--can't recommend it enough. I'm visiting from Las Vegas, where I've had my fair share of amazing Vietnamese food, but this place is truly top notch! Huge thanks to Lidia Lagos for bringing me to this hidden gem!

    Round eye steak Pho: 6/10, flavor was great, but noodles were a little hard & meat was not tender as stated on menu. Service was okay: The waitress was rushing and did not let me finish my complete order upon arriving, I had to walk to the counter to let the cashier know that I needed more things added to my order. When my pho was served, the waitress also did not bring out the side dish of jalapeños, limes, basil etc., I had to walk to counter to ask for it.

    BEST. PHO. Absolutely blown away by how delicious this pho was--10/10. We ordered a few different…read morephos including the filet mignon/meatball & combo special. Both were amazing. The flavor and richness of the broth is SO GOOD and hard to come by, even in NOLA. Perfect salt level & authentic flavor of pho broth. Served piping hot and fresh. Also, loved the option of filet mignon for pho-- great quality of meat. Ample & fresh herbs to be paired with our pho! Service was great. Our waiter Varon was attentive, courteous & quick service. Very knowledgeable about the menu. Beautiful ambiance to dine in--loved the chandeliers! Clean and bright. This is definitely our new go-to pho spot!!

    I read the reviews and was a little worried. But I had a truly great dining experience when I…read morevisited Pho Michael. I was later than expected getting to New Orleans so I was hungry. Once I got settled in, I looked at Yelp for a recommendation to eat. I was near so many great places to dine but Pho Michael won, despite the negative reviews. I was greeted warmly when I entered and allowed to pick where I sat. The feel inside was interesting, as Michael Jackson was playing but the decor reminded me of an Asian restaurant. It was clean though. I ordered a sweet tea which they add a sweetener when you order it. I won't get this again. I ordered the spring rolls with shrimp, which many reviews called them small. These rolls were so big they could almost serve as an entree. They tasted so fresh and the peanut sauce accompanied them well. For my main dish, I ordered the pho with filet mignon. It's one of their popular dishes so I figured it would be okay. When they placed a steaming hot bowl of pho in front of me, I knew I had a made a solid decision. I added a tad of hoisin sauce along with the sprouts, basil and jalapeños. The beef broth was sooooooo good as well. Only regret I had was a smaller portion wasn't offered. I ordered the smallest size available but it was so much. I tried to eat it all but couldn't lol. Service was top notch, as my server and another gentleman checked on me but didn't hover. This is a place I would visit again no matter where in New Orleans I stay.
