LOVE Vin's Special as medicine for any ailment!! Including depression!! I've posted before about this miracle pho ... so happy it's near me. read more

Food was amazing. Service with a smile. Beautiful paintings on the walls!!! Two thumbs up

Love the spicy chicken lettuce wraps, it's spicy but not too spicy, it has a kick. You can share it between two or three people.

I always enjoy eating here. Food is great, hot, and in good portion sizes! The smoothies are great too!!!

Pho Bistreaux is our absolute favorite spot for pho! We always get the filet mignon pho with the pork sticky bun sliders! Dii and Joe always take the best care of us!!! read more

Was told to sit anywhere. Sat at the table for 15-20 minutes or more and no one spoke to me. Other customers came in and their orders were taken. Person next to me got food that looked very overcooked and they waited for the waitress to acknowledge them but that was not happening. This used to be one of my go to lunch spots but the service has gone way downhill. Sorry Pho Bistreaux you got a failing grade today. read more

The first bite I could barely get down. The second bite I had to spit it out. The spring roll was not edible. read more

I was craving vietnamese and this place was in reach since i was doing some shopping nearby. Its a chain...i know...dont judge me. My meal was fine. Nothing to write home about. I had shrimp rolls and beef pho. The flavor of the soup was pretty good but some of my fixings didnt appear to be super fresh. The casing on the rolls was a bit stubborn but i enjoyed the peanut dipping sauce. Plenty of free parking out front and the staff was efficient and friendly. Its worth checking out again should the need for pho strikes me. read more

While on a business trip to NOLA, I enjoyed a lunch here, as a solo diner, I sat at the bar & enjoyed great conversation with the knowledgeable bar staff - I can't recall her name, but she provided great friendly service! Nice modern atmosphere, friendly, knowledgeable staff & fantastic food - Give it a shot! read more

Came here for lunch one day and had a bowl of pho with my husband. We both got the pho with meatballs and it was pretty quick service but wasn't all that attentive. This pho didn't taste as great or authentic as I was hoping but the food was still decent. It was a quick fix for pho but with all the local places that offer pho around here, I think I would be fine not coming here again anytime soon. read more

Pho Bistreaux In Elmwood is OPEN and is still one of the best dining options available in the elmwood area. Their Spicy Lemongrass Tofu appetizer is our favorite starter and for entrees we love the Grilled Beef with Rice and the Grilled Shrimp with rice. On rainy or cold days this is a great place to go for combination pho. read more

I used to love this place when I worked in the building across from it. It has definitely changed. The pho is still as good as it was before, but the veggies that they give you were not as fresh as they used to be. The Vietnamese po boys' bread was not what I remembered & the pork was dry. The flavor lacked a bit as well. read more

When I was hunting for a spot to go to lunch with the parents over in their neighborhood, this spot popped up. Since I had been to their new food truck recently (and Yelp deleted my new listing and collapsed it with the bricks and mortar spot on Carrollton, GRRRR). I thought why not. They had good accessibility for my not so mobile Dad. And the staff was really sweet and helpful which I appreciate. I had the veggie pho which was a huge amount and really tasty. My spring rolls with avocado and tofu were large and the tofu was fried really beautifully. Dad had the egg roll and grilled shrimp sliders (aka bacos) both of which he thoroughly enjoyed. Mom had the some of our apps and then had the grilled pork bun which she said was delicious and it was also a large portion. Mom is a bubble tea convert (gotta love the adventurous seniors) and got an avocado one with tapioca and said it was tasty. I got a strawberry lemonade and it was tart with big chunks of strawberries. Definitely would pass back by for a meal. And I like that they have bar seating since I prefer that when dining alone. read more

I've never had oxtail pho and after searching on Uber eats I found this. I ordered that it comes with oxtail/brisket and combination vermicelli chicken pork and shrimp. With the Pho you get one oxtail but it's very meaty and you get a lot of brisket it's very filling and delicious. Would definitely order again. read more

First experience at Pho Bistreaux and all I have to say is wow! Hands down my new favorite Vietnamese joint in the whole area. The inside was fairly new, modern, and clean. Welcoming environment with a friendly staff. Pork Belly Sliders: 8/10 Perfect portion with noticeably fresh ingredients. The pork belly was under salted but still had a good taste. A little chili oil added was a cherry on top. Vihn's Combination Pho: 10/10 Easily a top 3 contender for the best tasting pho I've ever had. The broth was packed with a variety of flavors, adding lime, mint leaves, and chili oil only added even more complexity to a near perfect bowl of broth. All of the meat was super tender and at the right temperature, by no means over cooked which is easy to do in bowls of pho due to the hot broth. I can't wait to come back and get some more! Grilled Pork and Shrimp Vermicelli : 10/10 Tender, well seasoned shrimp and pork in large portions sitting in a big bowl of fresh vegetables and noodles with a fried egg and cup of fish sauce. What more can you ask for?! Can't wait to come back! read more

The shrimp sticky buns are amazing and we love the bahn mi's from here also. The service is is friendly.

This is my go-to business lunch spot. The food is amazing, but you have many options meeting that criteria in this area. What makes PhoBistreaux stand out is: Fast service, without feeling rushed. Clients and coworkers are impressed with the flavors they bring out. Everything is delicious. The pork sliders are a must!! As for cost, the most expensive item on the menu is $12.95. A group of 5 with appetizers, lunch and drinks runs under $100 read more

Excellent food and service. I started with the pork belly sliders...YUM! The pork belly was phenomenally moist and tender, and the bun was a fresh and bouncy sponge for all the delicious juice running off the pork. For my entree, I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli, and of course, added an egg roll. Again, wow! Not only was the pork fresh and flavorful, boy was it plentiful! I knew an app & an entree for just me was going to be too much, but I completely underestimated the size of the portions. I was beyond full after the vermicelli! Everything tasted amazing and fresh, and the ambiance was super chill. I will definitely be back. read more

Our pho came out luke warm. Like it had been sitting for awhile. We could've doctored up the pho with hoisin and sambal but room temp pho?!!! Nasty nasty nasty. Bruised bean sprouts and basil. Very bland . We ordered the Vinh special - strands of meat that looked like roast beef. Not the right cut of beef for pho. We wasted money! Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

I ordered by UberEats because the reviews said Pho Bistreaux was good at packing the food. I guess they didn't bother when packing my food because it took zero effort for me to untie the knot in the bag it came in. I could only hope that my food wasn't tampered with. I ordered the pork spring roll and it was awful. I've had it before, so not sure what happened. The outer covering was tough and I couldn't chew it at all. The vermicelli inside was lumped together in spots. It was also cold. I ended up throwing them in the trash...wonder if they're pre-made or something? I also had the Vietnamese Grilled Beef Poboy. It tasted okay but I remember it tasting so much better in the past. Needless to say, I doubt I'll be returning. read more

So I stopped here knowing it wasn't the best pho. It was the only place close by and I just really wanted pho and my 3 yr old likes it. After finding a hair in my bowl and calling the server over, he just says sorry and takes my bowl. At no point did he ask if I wanted anything else. I was sharing this bowl with my son. He comes right back with my bill. My 3 year old didn't understand why I took his "soup" and tells the server "I'm hungry and want some more soup". The server puts the bill down, laughed, and walked away. For the record, I wasn't going to get another bowl incase the hair was in the big pot of broth, but I'm appalled at how this was handled! read more

After going to the one on Carrollton, I decided to try this one since it is closer to where I live. One thing that I noticed is that this one serves wine, so I dined in alone. I wanted to order the tofu sliders as an app since I LOVE the ones at the other Pho Bistreaux. I learned that the one in Elmwood uses fish sauce on their tofu. I requested no sauce, and it still came out with fish sauce. I was not happy. I order the vegetarian pho, and it was ok, but I kept noticing this smell of seafood. I thought maybe it was the other table. Nope, there was some small pieces of shrimp in my pho. I don't eat seafood AT ALL, and my husband is highly allergic. I am so glad that he wasn't with me. The server as extremely apologetic. She comp my order, and remade the meal. One night I had a craving for pho. Well, I am always down for pho. I didn't feel like driving to New Orleans, so I ordered takeout. The young lady made sure that there was no fish sauce, and it was vegetarian. The pho was really good this time. This is a great takeout option, but I encourage everyone to ALWAYS check their meals especially if you are allergic to seafood. read more

Called in an order for pick up. She said it would be ready in 10 min. I arrived 30 min later and my food was not ready. It appeared as tho she forgot to put it in for me. I waited 15 more min. No apology or explanation. read more

We just had the best meal here! The food was fantastic. We got combination pho and bubble tea. Our waiter, Vuy, gave great suggestions such as trying the new crystal boba for the teas and bringing this delicious chili oil sauce that's made in house. Our waiter was attentive, friendly and just gave great service all around. They made a regular out of us for sure!!! read more

Got some pick up from here on a Friday night. I was not feeling well at all and needed something for my throat. I got a large pho with meatballs,brisket, and round eye. We also ended up getting the spring rolls . I just was not that impressed with the pho or the spring rolls from here. The noodles seemed to be whatever and the meat in the spring rolls seemed to be over cooked . Overall I would probably get the pho again but for appetizer def try something else . The people that worked there were very nice and the restaurant seemed to be packed as well. They prepared my order very fast. I'm not sure why the pho just tasted different. I'm def not opposed to trying again, hopefully I get a good appetizer next time read more
