    31. Pho 97 house special/ pho house special
    William G.

    Pho97 is hands down our favorite spot in Baton Rouge--my fiancée and I are regulars, and for good reason! As soon as we walk in, the staff already knows our order (yes, it's that serious). We always get the Pho97 House Special with a side of their incredible Vietnamese wings--crispy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to a hot bowl of pho. The oxtail, brisket, tripe, and meatballs in the house special are to die for. It's the kind of pho that makes you feel instantly at home. Consistent, delicious, and made with love--Pho97 has earned a permanent spot in our hearts (and our dinner rotation). Highly recommend!

    This little spot snuck its way into my heart, located off of George O'Neill right next to the Waffle House. I am a Viet fan. I grew up in New Orleans and I know what good Viet is. This little spot is so cute great decor super clean good service and the kitchen is phenomenal. I've had it to go and dined in already two dozen times in the last few months consistent super clean super good probably top best Viet in Baton Rouge.

    25. Pho with rare steak/ pho tai

    I LOVE IT HERE! The pho broth is my favorite thing. The flavors are amazing. My boyfriend and I usually always get the same server and he already knows us ! The restaurant is also always very clean and the tables have lots of space. Their drinks and appetizers are also very good. Our favorite app to get is the wings. I have tried many many different phos in the Baton Rouge/Denham area and this is by far the best. I come here almost every week. I went on a trip for about 2 weeks and all I could think about was this place. Highly recommend. (Pho with rare steak my fav)

    55. Grilled pork rice plate/ com thit nuong
    Kim B.

    Be mindful, parking is also a school bus stop. Dining area is wonderfully decorated and clean. Bar seating available. Service was great! No dessert on a Wednesday. Midweek I guess. Unfortunately, I can't say I have raves for the pho, rice plate or banh mi as others have.The flavor of all three dishes missed the mark by far. Beef Pho broth was herbs and water. The pork rice plate and chicken banh mi were both very dry. There was no way I was going to be able to get the lychee jelly to pass through the straw. (Not sure how I was supposed to enjoy them). All was well plated. I've heard great reviews from family friends but it was a miss for me. Might be an off day for them but I had a long day and that wasn't fun.

    Pho 97 is a hidden gem! Their food is delicious and they have an extensive menu! Definitely recommend!

    Pho 97 has been the talk of the town for its stone pot pho and unusual upscale ambiance and decor. We stopped by for lunch a while back and the place was pretty much empty. We were seated in a timely manner and the service was good. I ordered the banh canh, but then I was told it would take 30 minutes so I opted for bun bo hue instead. We started with the goi cuon thit nuong and it was okay. I prefer spring rolls to have lots of fresh herbs and pickled carrots and daikon, but these were too bare for me. I enjoyed the bun bo hue, but the noodles were a little hard and undercooked. I loved the type of cha Pho 97 uses for their BBH, because lots of places use the plain one without any peppercorn. The stone pot pho AKA the pho 97 house special is interesting because the fixings come separate from the broth. Unfortunately they filled the broth almost to the brim so it didn't give much room to put anything in the bowl. My dad's pho order was also messed up because he ordered extra noodles, but instead they charged us for extra meat so he had to ask for extra noodles again later on. Everything was decent, but it is a bit pricey here for a pho/ bbh craving. My complaints are the accuracy, value, and undercooked bbh noods. I would probably come back if I'm meeting someone in the area, but not to satisfy any random viet food cravings.

    Always good food! You can tell they're working on the service side. Server was very sweet but nervous. Chicken pho a classic and can't go wrong! Cool vibes as well

    I went during late lunch and wasn't aware that they were closing in 30 minutes. The restaurant's decor is really cute! They have a lot of space. The only thing I didn't care for was the music playing with explicit lyrics. At first it was nice R&B but then I started hearing Drake and others and NOT the radio version. Since I was on a time crunch I decided to order the Vietnamese wings and a melon candy drink. Both were good! I ordered shrimp fried rice to go. The rice was kind of mushy to me. I've had better. Overall this is definitely a place I would recommend minus the explicit music.

    My partner and myself were ecstatic to try this new pho place out we heard opened up! Immediately upon entering we witnessed a nice ambient and beautiful décor inside. This place seem like a very casual and chill spot for get togethers for any event. We ordered a few items such as the Vietnamese coffee, limeade for drinks then proceeded by the bbq pork spring rolls then a pair of phos. Vietnamese Coffee- not much to say here was pretty solid, tasted sweeter and weaker then im use to, wished there was more coffee and less condensed milk but overall I was satisfied with it. Limeade- was very bland but was refreshing Pho Dac Biet- Honestly this pho broth had me thinking it was pretty bland, I rarely ever say this for any pho place I been to in baton rouge but this pho had me putting much more sriracha and other condiments in it to give it more flavor. Pho 97- This was very similar to my pho but for a heightened price of 20$!? The server said it was very similar to the regular but with a experience. With that you get your broth in a hot stone bowl that keeps your broth boiling. This reminds me of shabu shabu experience but with pho, you essentially put all your raw meat into the how bowl to cook everything which looks cool and makes great pictures but the overall value of it is not worth. It did consist of more meat then the regular pho but I am not sure it is worth the steep price point. Overall the food was okay, would I be back? Hard to say I would just cause there are better place in baton rouge that make pho for cheaper as well. Also the service was mediocre, our server didn't seem to attentive, seem like a group of friends who are working together which is fine but I found it challenging at times when we needed sugar packs or needed a refill to get our waitress attention despite it being fairly slow.

    Gia đình tôi đã ghé qua Phở 97 khi đang trên đường từ Baton Rouge đến Mississippi trong kỳ nghỉ lễ. Tôi mang theo chó hỗ trợ của mình, một phần quan trọng trong cuộc sống vì tôi bị mù vào ban đêm và mắc bệnh thận. Chó này vẫn đang trong quá trình huấn luyện, và tôi đã gọi điện trước để xác nhận rằng có thể mang chú theo. Chủ quán rất lịch sự và đồng ý với điều kiện chúng tôi ngồi ở khu vực xa các khách hàng khác. Khi đến nơi, chúng tôi tuân thủ yêu cầu và ngồi gần cửa ra vào, mặc dù trời rất lạnh vì đang là tháng Mười Hai. Tuy nhiên, trải nghiệm nhà vệ sinh khiến tôi rất thất vọng. Nhà vệ sinh không sạch sẽ, bồn cầu trong phòng dành cho người khuyết tật không xả nước được và tay cầm thì bị hỏng. Dù vậy, tôi cố gắng giữ tinh thần lạc quan và quay lại bàn để tiếp tục dùng bữa. Chúng tôi gọi món phở số 1 và một tô phở tái nạm. Nước dùng khá ngon, nhưng sợi phở bị dính lại với nhau, làm giảm chất lượng món ăn. Khoảng 10 phút sau, một bác lớn tuổi, có vẻ là nhân viên, tiếp cận và nhẹ nhàng đề nghị chúng tôi để chó hỗ trợ ở trong xe. Tôi lịch sự giải thích bằng tiếng Việt rằng tôi đã gọi trước, được chấp thuận và chó là chó hỗ trợ rất cần thiết cho tình trạng sức khỏe của tôi. Sau khi hiểu rõ hơn tình hình, bác ấy tỏ ra thông cảm và trấn an rằng chúng tôi có thể tiếp tục ở lại, nhưng cũng nói rằng một số khách hàng đã phàn nàn. Trong bữa ăn, chó đã cố gắng hướng dẫn tôi vào nhà vệ sinh theo cách được huấn luyện. Tuy nhiên, vì điều kiện nhà vệ sinh không phù hợp, chồng tôi đã quyết định đưa chó hỗ trợ ra xe để tránh thêm bất tiện. Tôi ngồi đợi trong xe trong khi anh ấy thaanh toán và giúp tôi ký hóa đơn. Chồng tôi, một luật sư chuyên về quyền dân sự, rất thất vọng với cách tình huống được xử lý. Anh ấy liên tục bày tỏ sự không hài lòng khi quyền lợi của tôi, một người khuyết tật, không được tôn trọng trong suốt bữa ăn. Anh cảm thấy rằng nhà hàng đã có sự thiên vị đối với việc có mặt của chú chó hỗ trợ, mặc dù điều đó đã được pháp luật bảo vệ. Anh nhấn mạnh rằng những phàn nàn của các khách hàng khác không nên lấn át các quyền hợp pháp theo quy định của luật liên bang, và thật đáng tiếc khi một cơ sở kinh doanh lại không tuân thủ đầy đủ những quyền lợi này. Lưu ý về Quyền Lợi Pháp Lý Liên Quan Đến Chó Hỗ Trợ tại Baton Rouge: Theo Đạo luật Người Khuyết Tật Hoa Kỳ (ADA), các cơ sở kinh doanh, bao gồm cả nhà hàng, phải cho phép các cá nhân khuyết tật mang chó hỗ trợ vào tất cả các khu vực mà khách hàng thông thường được phép vào. Quy định này áp dụng trên toàn Baton Rouge và Hoa Kỳ. Chó hỗ trợ được huấn luyện để thực hiện các nhiệm vụ cụ thể cho người khuyết tật, và các cơ sở kinh doanh không được từ chối phục vụ hay hạn chế dựa trên phàn nàn từ các khách hàng khác. Chó hỗ trợ không bắt buộc phải mặc áo ghi chú hoặc mang theo giấy tờ chứng nhận. Mặc dù tôi để lại 18% tiền tip để thể hiện sự tôn trọng với nhân viên và ủng hộ một doanh nghiệp người Việt, nhưng trải nghiệm tổng thể khiến chúng tôi cảm thấy không được chào đón. Tôi hy vọng Phở 97 sẽ nghiêm túc tiếp nhận ý kiến này, không chỉ để tuân thủ pháp luật mà còn tạo ra một môi trường thân thiện và tôn trọng hơn cho tất cả khách hàng.

    Seafood Pho
    Jessica P.

    Very cute place. Love the atmosphere. The seafood pho was good as well. I like how you don't have to pay extra for substituting the fish ball for crab. You can make it as spicy as you want. The edamame was amazing! Almost ate the whole bowl and they give you a good bit. Really fast service.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. I'm happy it's open on Sundays because pho on Sundays is a tradition! We got the lemon beef salad, it's so good if you haven't tried eating that with your pho. The pho broth was pretty good, I don't usually add things except the herbs and the lime. I really enjoyed it and would say it's one of the better pho places in Baton Rouge. Our nuoc mam came in a cute little heart dipping bowl, just thought that was a cute little touch. They have two neon signs if you want to take photos, very cute as well! They also had funny alcoholic drinks that I'd like to come back and try. The cafe sua da was so good, it surprised me because it's just Vietnamese coffee and I've tried a lotttt, but this one might be one of my favorites. Would eat here again!

    When you walk in, it's almost like an IG dream!! The aesthetic is perfect! The servers are in relaxed gear (sweatpants/joggers) and everyone is super friendly! The music is a WHOLE VIBE!! And that's where the pleasantries end. The prices are a little on the high side for Vietnamese fair. They DO NOT have wine or beer. They have cocktails that are as much as an entree! We ordered several things to give this place a fair shot. My husbands grilled chicken plate was pretty fair. The dipping sauce that came with the dish was very plain and so was everything else on the dish, however, it was presented beautifully. I got a pretty "ethnic" noodle dish that was very lackluster. It was missing a few elements, but I figured it was to cater to the "demographic" that would often frequent this place. But then I started to realize that the overall taste of everything was to appeal to a demographic that isn't used to these flavors. So in order to please whom you think are the "masses" you're on the right track, your food is good enough to not spit out, but would be shamed at an Asian family gathering. The atmosphere is amazing and the people are great, but what's missing from the equation is food that makes you say "I'm going to come back and eat this again"......especially for the price. And they do NOT offer a military/first responder discount.

    Interior is pretty

The restaurant is very clean with good music playing, and the staff is always very kind. They have a wide selection of foods, but I always opt for the Vermicelli combo bowl. My dad and sister always gets the Banh Mi sandwich, which they love and crave often. We usually opt for an egg roll to start also, which is delicious. The portions are large and very filling, I most of the time have leftovers! On top of that, the prices are very fair and I always feel like I get my moneys worth.

I had to work through my lunch by sending emails and such, but the staff was super sweet and patient even though it took me a little longer to eat than it should have. Kaylee was so sweet and smiley, I think I needed that upbeat interaction more than the pho. Having said that, the pho was amazing. I ordered vegetable pho with beef broth, brisket and rare steak. I hate passing up a deal, so I ordered the egg rolls off of the happy hour menu too. They come three to an order, but my picture only shows two. I was hungry. Make a trip out to Bao. You will thank me. Ask for Kaylee. She is the bomb!

The menus looked like they haven't been cleaned in ages. The walls were splattered with sriracha and hoisin sauce. After placing the order, our waitress came back with utensils. I was still trying to keep a positive mind because I hadn't gotten our food yet. The utensils were filthy. There was some dried up vegetable on the soup soon. They barely gave us any vegetables for the pho. Once our vermicelli noodle dish arrived, I immediately notified a LONG WHITE HAIR. The pho broth was overly sweet and overpowered the richness of the beef. The rare steak was thick cut and tasted too chewy.
