This place is almost 5 stars! I ordered standard pho tai nam and the noodle came almost perfect. This place really would be perfect pho place except for very minor stuff. But all those minor things add up. HOWEVER, the pho was fantastic! Meat was tender raw and soft and broth is so delicious bone broth. Could be the best broth I ever had! Few minor things were: table clean up was loudly disturbing, bean sprouts could be cleaner, menu items could have better photos, etc. I need to try other items, but this would be best pho place inside of New Orleans hands down! Parking is limited around the shop read more

Nice spot to grab some quick pho noodles. Very cozy place to chill and eat. The older women in there had a warm presence very friendly. Loved the auntie smiles greeting you into the restaurant . Pho was delicious Im definitely a returning customer. read more

One of my top Vietnamese spots in the greater New Orleans area. It's easy to reach off vets and we usually get a table without waiting. The staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently good. They serve real Vietnamese dishes, with lemongrass chicken and sesame beef as our favorites. And we never miss out on their great selection of Pho! read more

The pho broth and the pork chop was flavorful. The restaurant was busy, but staff remain consistent and turned tables around pretty quick. Even with the small space inside, they are able to accommodate many large parties which I came with a party of 15. Definitely a good place to eat if you're craving pho. read more

I must say that the food is good but what I spent for almost 15 bucks wasn't worth my time and won't be worth yours either

This is my favorite Vietnamese fix when I am in New Orleans: Pho, egg rolls, Banh Mi, & Che 3 mau. I can eat this every day. Love the authentic Vietnamese foods and the hard working staff. read more

Great pho! Good amount of meat and topping. Service was quick and staff was nice. Wife loved it!

Food comes out Fast and it is above average. Love the beef and oxtail pho. Friendly staff.

Pho and beef stew (bo kho) is soo good here! We came here Thursday around noontime. Very good price for a large bowl of pho. I never get large, but we all had to get it. A lot of toppings in there. Service was ok. They also have the onion in vinegar sauce. Indoor dining only. read more

6 years later and still my favorite pho spot! Not much has changed since my last review. It's still not fancy, but I love that about this little restaurant - coming here feels like home. If you're looking for a more modern feel then you should visit the Pho Bang near Bonnabel- but just a heads up, the pho is better at this location. They did add banh mi to the menu! They're prepared using fresh bread from Dong Phuong, and y'all know what that means.. these little sandwiches taste AMAZING. The grilled shrimp banh mi is my go to, and it's easily my new favorite item on their menu. However you still can't go wrong with #18 or #31. As always, the iced coffee is a must have and I rarely leave without getting one. And of course, my kids favorite thing about visiting the restaurant is the complimentary suckers at the cash register. Absolutely worth a visit if you're in Metairie, or worth a special trip if you're feeling like you need some soul healing (in that case, #18 is the way to go). read more

The best pho in Metairie is here! The Vietnamese egg rolls are delicious! The Vietnamese coffee is EVERYTHING ! We order from here often. The Lemongrass chicken is my hubby's fave!!! read more

For the price and quality of food I think this place is five stars for sure. The service is nice and quick, it's a little hole in the wall location but endearing, and they have been around for a long time. You can't beat them for value and taste! The pork banh mi is so good, the pho broth is amazing, and I love the Chanh Muõi when it's cold!! We also love the fried spring rolls and number 24 Bún Chá Giò Thit Nuöng, support local! read more

The Bonneville location has a much better menu and taste. This one is very limited. Only beef pho's offered. Very few appetizers.

Small, dingy, no Tofu available like other locations for people who don't eat meat, offered no ice cup, only bottled water, hot lemonade. Only good for a quick bite. No ambience or good service. Bathrooms located through dirty storage. Other 3 locations much better, especially West Bank. read more

Love Phó. However, the broth here was not very flavorful . I don't know about other dishes they serve though.

The food was ok. My family was not happy with food. We came here because it is close to new orleans airport. The pork chop was hard and difficult to chew. It you want a quick bite, it's a great place. However, if you want tastier and better marinated food, I would pick another venue. The restaurant is packed when we're done with our meal. Apparently, this place is doing very well. My family is vietnamese and they can be very critical. read more

Pho Bang Restaurant - Com Bo Luc Lac(beef tips over rice with tomato and cucumber) - Vietnamese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Disclaimer: this review is based on UberEATS, as I am hiding away from mankind for the time being. We ordered "vegetable" pho (with the addition of chicken in one of them) and crab rangoon. First, the broth is absolutely amazing! It had a nice rich, deep flavor that seemed to have been simmering for some time. The crab Rangoon were also great: a bit sweet, creamy, and meaty. I could not tell whether the crabmeat was real crabmeat, but the flavor was still nice. The sweet and sour sauce that comes with them was extremely light and not overly sweet. On the downside, we did not receive our chicken. The variety of vegetables were also on the low side as compared to other pho joints I have tried. It was a bit disappointing because the flavor of that broth would have been perfect with more vegetables. I would give them another try. read more

The pho taste is ok but is not hot enough. I think they overcharged us for the hot tea--a tiny teapot enough for two tiny cups costs us $4. They also calculated tip on the tax. If I go back to this restaurant again, I will not order tea and reduce the amount of tip read more

Delicious!! This place is so good! A friend of mine recommended that we go here and we happened to be driving by and just popped in. We got the lemongrass chicken which was so much better than I thought it was going to be! The chicken was so tender and full of flavor. We also got the beef brisket pho and that was super delicious as well. OH! And the fried egg rolls! Omg! So goooood! The staff was nice and super attentive especially with our toddlers. They have jasmine ice tea, sweet and unsweetened. I like the sweet! It was really good. Also this place was popping on a random Sunday evening. So that's always good news too! read more

This place has been here forever!!! Our go to pho spot, service and food is always consistent! The place is small but people are always in and out so it is never a long wait! The my recently added Bao buns to their menu and they are really good! We tried the pork one and I got combination pho to go with it! We go here at least once a week to satisfy our pho cravings. read more

Nothing seems to be prepared at this site. Parking is a nightmare. There are MUCH better options close by.

I don't think so. I feel guilty going against the grain with this one but the lack of service and informing me that they do not have "tap" water for the patrons has me pondering if they cook their soups with the 5 gallon jugs of Ozarka water or what? I had the Pho' here and it was not bad but barely on the mediocre mark. I base most of my reviews on a 5 prong notation so the only thing I can say is one star for the price and another star for the food. Not one visit to my table and it was not even during a lunch rush (don't judge me, I tip pretty good, I used to be a server too), minus one star because there is no such thing here as "tap" water (I did not see any purified Fuji 5 gallon jugs anywhere) and how long were they going to let the tables where patrons sat and ate go before bussing them? Maybe someone else wanted to sit by the windows? There doesn't seem to be that many Vietnamese restaurants that I found in the area but considering the choices that I did find, this place makes the other 4 look like fine dining and reputable competition. read more

Spoke to a Vietnamese friend and she said this is her favorite place to get pho. I decided to give it a retry. The line was way out the door! They were super busy at lunchtime. I tried the kenner location. No wonder they have several locations. Try to get there at off-peak hours especially on a cold day when everyone knows it's pho weather. read more

I love this pho spot! I have tried the one in metairie and also the one on manhattan. The food is always on point. My favorite is the pho(I can't tell you which one off the top of my head) and then the crispy spring rolls/summer rolls and crab rangoons have been yummy. The little pork sliders are amazing as well! My sister has tried the rice and meat from there and she absolutely loves it! They never skimp out on the food and every single that I have tried has always been fresh! If you're ever in the area this is some great Vietnamese food! Must try! read more

We eat at Pho Bang in all the time and it's very good. The service is good. The food is good. So I was out with my granddaughter and we wanted to go to pho in Metairie. However it was closed on Sunday so we decided to go and try the one in Kenner. Oh my gosh, I can't tell you how disappointed I was. There was music playing in the kitchen very loudly. There was music playing in the dining room, and this was the music that the restaurant uses for the guests. Then there were two kids at a table. Each of them had their iPhones listening to TV shows. In one corner there was a restaurant worker with his shoes off who had them wrapped around the table listening to his show. All these different noises was very distracting and gave me a headache almost immediately. I asked them to stop one of the music and they told me all the kitchen staff has to to listen to their music and we have music on for the guests. I can understand they don't have any control over what other peoples children do however they do have control over what the staff does in the kitchen and what one of the workers do while eating. Never ever ever again when I go to Kenner Pho Bang. read more

Best Pho I've had so far in New Orleans. I still haven't been to West End area where there's supposed to be the "best" Vietnamese food but coming from San Francisco where I eat Pho very very often, this place has the closest thing to authentic Pho. Their broth was been cooked properly for hours and the quality of the noodles is fantastic. Their prices are also extremely reasonable and I feel like the newer generation of Pho restaurants lose their authentic broth taste. Newer restaurants like Pho Orchid and Lilly's have a sweeter broth which isn't how pho normally tastes and they are charging 11 dollars a bowl. You can get an extra large bowl for under 7.50 here at Pho bang. Overall, excellent prices, authentic broth and decent service. Also their 3 bean drink is really good for only 3 dollars. read more

The food is incredible.. i love the ambiance and the service is so kind and friendly.

The tra da chanh here is my favorite! Always consistent with its flavor. I haven't been here in awhile to compare it to previous times, but I don't think I've ever had a bad experience. Service is quick. Food is good. Prices are reasonable. No complaints here. read more

Dropped by on a Saturday around lunch time to eat and left happy! For starters this location can get crammed and packed in the parking lot due to the shopping center location. Around the restaurant they have tons of stores where the car spaces fill up quick. After entering the restaurant it was super crowded with families eating. Once entered we were seated right away and were given menus to order from. We went ahead and ordered the standard beef pho with soy bean milk and iced tea. The vegetables platter that compliments the pho were fresh as can be with nice vibrant colors coming from the thai basil and chili peppers. The bean sprouts were nice and firm with a crisp of water splash when biting into them. They even laced us up with more limes then needed for our pho. The pho was nicely garnished with thin white sliced onions and a beautiful arrangement with cilantro and green onions. The temperature of the broth was piping hot while the noodles were perfectly cooked al dente! The broth was nice and light in flavor with the aromatics from the star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and coriander were all there in taste and smell. They do not offer ice water but sell bottled water and on the utensil rack they offer your spoons, and chopsticks with your basic hoisin sauce and chili sauce. They didnt have the little dipping saucers to mix the sauces to dip your meat in and enjoy the pure essence of the broth so we ended up using out veggie platter for the dipping sauces. Great place to have some pho but be sure to eat quick especially on weekends since this place is pushing people in and pushing them out as quick as can be! read more

No Lily's Cafe, but the best I've found in Jefferson parish. The prices are good and the rice noodles are cooked perfectly. Broth of the pho is good. A little bit of a clove/ginger taste to it. Healthy amount of protein added. Giving it 4 instead of 5 stars, just because the Vietnamese egg rolls were a little on the soggy side. Needed hotter oil and less time in the grease. read more

I have been craving Vietnamese food for a while so I got take out. I ordered pork spring rolls, fried egg rolls, and chicken pho. Now I don't like egg rolls but I love Pho bangs egg rolls. They are delicious with the fish sauce. The spring rolls were tasty but I should have stuck with the usual shrimp spring rolls. I prefer those to the pork. The chicken pho was good but not what I have come to expect from them. All in all I enjoyed my food & the service was top notch. read more

My disabled Mom was feeling under the weather, so I recommended she try some Pho. I live in Texas and the restaurants here are amazing. A friend of hers also made the same suggestion. My niece went to the get the order. The veggies were just as I had described - so my Mother was excited. I get a text from her saying she is throwing up ; after having tried the soup. She said the broth had a good taste, but the "chicken" looked like a sponge. When I got pictures of what was supposed to be meat - I was grossed out. I ask my niece to go back to let them know what has happened; as they might at least offer her the money back. However, since they did not give her a receipt and all she had was there sickening soup with a copy of their menu as proof of her visit- they did nothing. Spend your money elsewhere and spare yourself from being sick. You might even save Sponge Bob's life. I'm sorry Mommy. read more

Pho Bang Restaurant - This is supposed to be chicken. - Vietnamese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Being a Vietnamese who grew up in Southern California and currently living in East Coast for the past 15 years, I rated this restaurant a 2 stars. Service was very good. The waitress was very nice. Food tasted below average for me. Broth tasted straight from the seasoning can/container, not from beef bones IMO. The rice dish was bland. The pork chop was quite dry and hard, not even with broken rice traditionally. Fish sauce served with rice was not impressive. Egg rolls were affordable but nothing special. 1 thing we disliked was you have to buy a water bottle. They don't offer free water. Not even tap water. This is definitely for tourists town. read more

This place is not what it used to be... Maybe it's changed since Covid, I don't know but it's not the same. This used to be my absolute favorite pho place in the whole area but it's less than mediocre now. Service is very slow. My pho was super oily and didn't taste at all how it did before. I will say, my son does love to come here though. He loves to look at all the fish in the fish tanks. I will also add that it makes me feel better coming here during Covid because it is a very large restaurant and the tables are pretty well spaced. I just wish the food was as good as it used to be. read more

This place is truly a misfortune. The food is great but the staff and the service is just horrendous. When you walk in your welcomed with dirty looks and bad attitudes. Once you sit they slide the menus on the table and walk off. My family and I have been coming here for years and the generation that run it now are just plain mean. They are in the wrong industry because they are clearly not into customer service. The only reason we come back is because the food is good. We always order to go. The last experience we had with dining in was the absolute worst. If I could give no stars it would be great read more
