Was in search of a good vegetarian Pho (vegetarian broth) Finally found it at this restaurant. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

I ain't feeling it y'all!! Food had no flavor. Service was mediocre. Ambiance was cool but only one other family in the establishment besides us. I won't be back. No hard feelings but not worth a second trip. read more

BEST. PHO. Absolutely blown away by how delicious this pho was--10/10. We ordered a few different phos 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!! read more

We read good things about the food, so we wanted to check it out. I'm never the type to really leave a review, however we came in at 8pm (door says the restaurant closes at 9pm). It took 10 minutes from when we were sat for someone to finally come and take our order. The place was not packed at all. We ordered everything at once to try and make up for the time. At about 8:25, not even our waittess, brings the check and says "we close in 5 minutes". Now I get it..but we didn't even plan to stay long, however, to take 10 minutes to even take our order in the first place and then say you're about to close shortly after we even got our food to essentially rush us out is insane. Will not be returning. read more

I read the reviews and was a little worried. But I had a truly great dining experience when I visited 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. read more

May be an unpopular opinion, but I wasn't impressed by this pho place. The interior of the restaurant itself was nicely decorated and very clean; service was good. The pho portion was small, and there wasn't much meat. I was hoping for more than a couple slices of filet mignon and a couple small tendon pieces for the price point ($16). The flavor of the broth was great, and the noodles had a good texture. If you're in desperate need of a pho place, I'd say this place fits the bill, but doesn't exceed any expectations. read more

Service needs work. We ordered 4 dishes. The pho with the chopsticks made the noodles taste like bamboo/wood. We asked for forks and they came back with plastic forks. I then asked for silverware and they spoke to each other in Spanish and snickered something under their breaths and heard 'chino'. Disrespectful. $75 dinner served with plastic forks. WTH. Thought this place was a little more upscale than fast food. I still left a smaller tip than usual but they definitely didn't even deserve that much. Never coming back to this place with the two women waiting tables that couldn't just be a little respectful and give us silverware. read more

Great food, slow service. The server seemed to me more interested in chatting with coworkers then service

Not sure who needs to hear this but I was really upset with the food I picked up last night at Pho Michael's. I ordered a large Shrimp Pho to share with my wife for dinner. When I arrived home I started unpacking everything and realized the plastic pho container was only 3/4's full. I ordered a large and paid extra only to find out that we had been shorted pho. Then after starting to prepare pho for each of us I looked for the basil, jalapeño, bean sprouts ect. it was not there. I called to see if it maybe didn't come with the Shrimp Pho but was told that they forgot to include it with my order. To make things even worse I only got one packet of hosin sauce and one packet of Sriracha sauce. I've ordered from Pho Michael's many times before and have never had a bad experience until last night. I guess it was just an off night for your staff. read more

Blocks away from Lakeside Pho Michael is Pho Michael is hidden away and never ceases to impress when we are in the mood for Pho. They also have a great Boba selection if you are in the mood. I personally love their Spicy Beef Pho, but on my recent visit I found their Grilled Lemongrass Beef rice plate wonderfully delicious. I need to note that this is one of the few Vietnamese restaurants to offer kids combination Pho and plates! read more

Would haven't given it about a 4.5 star rating if we didn't feel rushed out. Food was pretty good I had the brisket pho I felt as if the broth could have had a bit more flavor but those WINGS were amazing presentation was nice we all agreed that the sauce that came drizzled on the wings could have been a dipping sauce or more drizzle. We also ordered the crab Rangoon but that was forgotten so we just decided to not worry about getting it any more. I would say the bbq short ribs with the fried rice were really really good If I were to go back I would probably get that. We also tried a couple of the teas (mango and green apple with the tapioca balls) tea was refreshing for sure. Over all the food was good read more

Pho Michael is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in NOLA. I always recommend this place to others because of its central location to everything, it's in the heart of Metairie with its own parking lot. The menu is large with good options and a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. I love to order their beef spring rolls, pho dac biet, and bun bo hue. What sets them apart is the choice to add a side of bone marrow to your bowl, which adds more umami and flavor to your bowl. Overall, a great place to grab vietnamese food especially after a wild night out with plenty of alcohol involved. Check them out! read more

Pho Michael - The P6. Pho with Brisket. The best Vietnamese food I've tried: I highly recommend it. - Vietnamese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

A pho place I tried out because the other place I often go to was closed. The decor is nice and parking is easy. They have a dedicated lot. The portions are okay for the price and the amount of meat you get is probably standard. There's nothing too special about it - the soup was good, the noodles were a bit undercooked that never got cooked after coming out because the soup wasn't too hot. The staff are nice and friendly. There's really nothing bad to say about the place but nothing really stood out to me either. read more

I've been on a vietnamese kick lately and I didn't feel like cooking on Christmas eve so I went ahead and ordered delivery. This was one of the only places open, all the way in Metairie, but luckily uber eats didn't mind delivering to Uptown. I got the lemongrass tofu rice plate. It was tasty, but I admit I couldn't really taste the lemongrass. Just tasted like regular wok fried tofu. What I really loved was the sauce that came with it. I saved some and used it in salad for a couple days afterward. So fresh and tangy. And they also included extra hoisin like I asked. The price was decent for a rice plate--only $10. Of course it ended up being more because delivery, so I guess takeout is the way to go. read more

Pho is really good here. The bun bo hue wasn't that great. They had bone marrow and onion in vinegar sauce here. We came here around 12pm and was seated right away. It wasn't that busy. Food took a while to get here though. Service was ok. Indoor dining only. read more

DELICIOUSSSSSS. Today was my first time trying this place and I'm so glad I did! I think they have the best pho I've tried so far. I ordered the chicken pho in spicy beef broth. The broth was so bold and flavorful. It meshed perfectly with the slices of chicken. They did not give me a ton of meat, but I'm one of those people who do not need a ton of meat in pho. The crab rangoons are very tasty. The filling is definitely creamy and tastes more like a dip that needs some chips. I'm a fan of these. I really like how they package and wrap to-go orders, too. I received an actual bowl filled with noodles. Beautiful interior and pleasant customer service. I think I've found my new pho spot! read more

By far the best Bun Bo Hue that I have had in New Orleans. We were missing some of my mom's Vietnamese cooking and decided to stop by and try Pho Michael. We ordered the Banh Xeo for our appetizer. The Banh Xeo was crispy, crunchy and generously filled with meat and shrimp! The flavor was not overly coconut, but they could have sliced the meat down a little bit as it was large pieces. Then we had the BBQ Short ribs and Bun Bo Hue. The short ribs had amazing flavor and were cooked perfectly. This would be the reason to visit here until we tried the Bun Bo Hue. The BBH had a spicy broth with tender strips of meat. The meat could also be sliced down to have more with each bite, but this BBH is so very close to my mom's. This was our best Vietnamese experience and we definitely will come back to try their other options! read more

Just moved to Louisiana. It's very hard for me to find authentic Vietnamese food that isn't too Americanized to where the flavors are lacking. This place was amazing! It's very rare that I don't have to add too much seasoning to the broth. 10/10 recommend. read more

This place is great! I started coming occasionally ever since Pho Orchid stopped serving tendons. I am also pleased with the customer service I received - the owner (I'm assuming...or one hell of an employee) who rang me up was super friendly and polite, advising me to take one of their pens as I signed my check! Service like this is NOT found everywhere - and I always appreciate good service when I see it! I'm also writing this review as I scanned some of the 1* reviews - which most are pretty ignorant! Oil in Bun Bo Hue? Thick noodles too? That's how it's SERVED people! How can you give 1* for serving the food the way it's supposed to be?! Sheesh. Give this place a go - highly recommended! I've had (obviously) the beef & tendon as well as the seafood and Bun Bo Hue - no complaints! read more

I can't believe this is my first time writing a review for Pho Michael, my boyfriend and I have been coming here for years. We come and order the same thing: for me, veggie pho with tofu and veggie broth; for him, pho with brisket and soft tendon. They literally make the best pho in town. The vegetable broth is nothing like I've ever tasted elsewhere. It's sweet, and savory but also rich in flavor, as if carrots and onions are the main ingredients of the broth. Service is also consistently excellent, they come right on cue. And lastly, parking is easy on an average night, the lot can get full on a weekend evening, but I seem to luck up with a spot every time I go around that time. Pho Michael is my favorite spot for veggie pho. Can you tell? read more

I've been here before but never try their Bun Bo Hue. I have to say, it's actually now my to go to. I would suggest asking them for some shrimp paste and chili oil and extra lime for a kick. They don't serve your typical pork blood or pig feet with the BBH. I also order the combination Banh Mi to share. The Banh Mi bread is flaky and light with the shrimp, chicken and pork. The price was high for a Banh Mi but so worth it. It's not your typical Banh Mi you would get at an Asian market and other restaurants. The filling has some kind of gravy like sauce. My friend got the Vietnamese coffee and Rice combination and she really enjoyed it. For my drink, I try the lychee tea flavor tea and it was very refreshing. read more

Parking is great for the area, and the location is easy to find. No steps to get in, just 2 long ramps, easy for wheelchair access. When I walk in through the door, I'm greeted right away by girls behind the counter. They seat me right away too. I came after 2pm, so there was only one other table dining. But, service took a while to get to me to take my order. I then realized that they were giving me time with the menu... but, I had a couple of questions, and I was super thirsty... lol. I wish they had come up to me and asked if I wanted a drink first. Anyway, the reason I picked this place over the other ones in the area was because I wanted the grilled chicken rice dish that comes with a small soup. The soup was important to me because I wasn't feeling well that day at all... but later, when service finally greeted me, she told me that I have to pay for a side of soup. ($5)... bummer, but ok. I need it, I'll take it.. food came, and I was disappointed once again. The slices of chicken was soooo thin! Like hot pot slices thin! The flavor was not traditional either (more Americanized). It was pretty pricey too... overall, it was ok. But, I don't think I'll come back. read more

The restaurant is located right off of Edenborn Ave., around the corner from the Lakeside mall. It was a decent sized restaurant with plenty of parking for peak lunch rush times. It has a modest / plain look on the outside and becomes more Vietnamese-esque when you walk in. I am a decent fan of Pho restaurants and this one was very good. The staff was very nice and pleasant to talk to. They have paper menus and physical menus and seem to be very sanitary when you walk in. They have a dine in bar, tables and booths and you can pick and choose where you want to eat. The decorations were nice upon the eyes and it had a very comfortable setting. The restaurant is around the corner from the Lakeside mall and will take you two streets away from the action but it is a nice comfortable walk from there. The food was good and felt freshly made. You get the options to use European utensils or you can take the risk and use chop sticks. I ordered the Pho Nam (I am usually a pho ga / chicken kind of person) and I did not regret my decision. The food was fantastic and tasted great. It only cost me $9 for the meal and it was a very good portion for its cost. I would highly recommend it. It was a good experience and the food was amazing. I went while they were rushing and they still make it a comfortable setting. All the employees wore mask and they stayed just far enough away from you to make you comfortable.

I was in the mood for a boba tea and decided to try them out. Service was quick and the waitress was nice! I got my boba in less than 5 minutes and the place had a cool vibe. They had the option to do boba frozen or regular which I'd never heard of. I got a regular milk tea with pearls and it was pretty good but kinda pricey- I paid $9. I would still go back but to try the food instead. Bonus: there's ample (free!) parking. read more

My boyfriend and I were craving some Vietnamese food and decided to give pho Michael a try after reading all the positive reviews on yelp. This place is super modern and clean inside. The staff all wore masks which is another plus. My boyfriend and I shared the banh xeo- super crispy and they don't skimp on the fillings! Just the way I like it. It was so filling we ended up having to take half of it home. For entrees he had the bun bo hue and I had the vermicelli with chargrilled chicken beef pork and egg roll. My boyfriend is SUPER picky when it comes to bun bo hue and he liked it here. I had a taste and the broth has a good spicy kick to it. They don't skimp on the meat either. The meat in the vermicelli was well cooked and seasoned. I'll definitely be back to try the pho next time. read more

Huge fan! I was told to try the spicy broth with the pho and after trying it, I can say hands down one of the best in the whole NOLA area. It's not super spicy, but it has a deep flavor profile that the spice enhances. All of the toppings where very fresh, and adding bone marrow to the pho was like a cherry on top! Everything was super tender and packed with flavor. The service was great, no complaints there. Probably my only complaint is the price addition for spicy broth. They charged $3 extra just to spice up the broth. $15 for a bowl of pho is a pretty high price to pay. But luckily the food was good and some what justified. I strongly recommend the spicy combination pho, just be prepared to pay for it! read more

Thank you so much for that information & suggestion. read more

Went here for a last minute NYE dinner and it was a GREAT decision. I decided to try something new because I always order the pho nam; instead I got the spicy beef noodle soup! It was different (I want to like tendon so bad but I just cannot). But the broth flavor was soooo incredible! I also really appreciated the variety in the toppings plate - I had never had purple cabbage as an option until today! My server was probably one of the best servers I have ever had! He was so lively, fun, and attentive. Atmosphere was cute. They even have various boba tea and Vietnamese coffee options that I will be back sometime to try. Overall, I don't have any complaints. My mom and I shared a great meal together. Only giving it a 4/5 because there is better pho out there. But this....is pretty dang good! Give this place all of your business!! read more
