    Brisket pho
    Susan C.

    I went here for lunch while visiting New Orleans for business. It was perfect for me to boot up my laptop and do some emails while I waited for my lunch, but it came really quick and the service was awesome. The brisket is very delicious and good quality here. Didn't taste like there was MSG in the broth normally I react to it.

    Pho Sunrise should be renamed Pho Surprise because yes they have all the regular Vietnamese items you would expect but when "Pho Season" comes and you are cold and hungry you find yourself here to get Surprised with a brisket or combination pho to satisfy your hunger and warm your soul. FYI the amazing Hot and Spicy Noodle Soup will give you hot tears of joy, but also jump start your mojo when you need a pick me up!

    The food here is always soooo good. The service is quick and you get your food quick. There are two TVs in the dining room and plenty of tables and seating.

    Bun Bo Hue

    We moved a little closer to Kenner and were craving vietnamese food. Then we saw Pho Sunrise and decided to try a bite. When we walked in, the atmosphere is very dull and had no music playing. They did have a basketball game on as background noise. We started off lunch woth cha gio dac biet. They ertr crispy and good, but very tiny. almost miniature eggrolls but were fried springrolls. my Fiancée ordered com thit nuong while I had bun bo hue. her dish was bland and dry with pieces not thoroughly cut. my Bun bo hue was a little spicy but needed much more flavor. definitely would not recommend if you're looking for an authentic vietnamese cuisine.

    Spring Rolls with Tofu

    Pho Surprise is one of our regular lunch spots in this part of town. This is a simple Vietnamese Restaurant in a small strip mall, but they are always open for lunch, it's easy to get a table, place an order and minutes later enjoy our meal. On our last visit we started with an order of Spring Rolls with Tofu. We also shared a Rice Plate with Grilled Shrimp along with the Rice Plate with Stir Fried Beef and Assorted Veggies. And if it's cold and rainy we usually enjoy two bowls of their wonderful Pho.

    This place is definitely lack customer service. We called in advance to make sure they are open and allow them time to set up table for 7 people. We walked in. This place is dead. It was very dark inside. Places like this worries me because what are you hiding with this poor lighting. I ordered an avocado smoothie with pearls. Of course they are out of avocado. After a few other tries and kept being disappointed. I asked for water. The waiter asked, is bottle water ok? I said, no, tap water is fine. Waiter said, we don't serve tap water. Now I'm curious....what's wrong with your tap water? Are you using the tap water to cook that you can't serve, what's going on?!?!? Waiter got really ugly and I told him that he realizes that we are about to drop some money and you are out of everything we asked. How do you stay open if you don't have anything customers asking on your menu and not even tap water. I'm done ranting but definitely take your money somewhere else. Felt very horrible with how we were being treated.

    Bun rieu in the front and bun bo hue in the back. Just ok. Nothing memorable.

    My boyfriend and I came here after reading all the raving reviews about their bun bo hue on yelp and to be honest, we were disappointed. Bun bo hue wasn't spicy at all, not enough flavor. It was just ok. Bun rieu was not bad but nothing special. To sum it all up, this place was just average. There are many better Vietnamese options around the area.

    Love this little gem. We sort of asked for a customized Pho, which consisted of chicken broth with veggies (broccoli, carrots, celery, and mushroom). The broth was very light but full of flavor. It wasn't bland at all (as I always fear with some light soups). The veggies were fresh and crisp, including the lime, cilantro, bean sprouts, and jalapeño that come on the side. The shrimp fried rice was also delicious. It's not an official menu item, but the employees do their best to customize your experience. I do not think that shrimp fried rice needs a great explanation, but just know that the rice was fresh, seasoned well, and cooked properly. I did not like the shrimp spring rolls, but I think that's more of a personal taste than objective taste. Finally, the bubble tea is a smoothie dream. I'm iffy about the tapioca, only because they tasted like odd gummy bears, but the actual drink is delicious. I had the mango flavor. Try! The employees were incredibly nice and accommodating.

    Three bowels of pho and all different types spicy and combo and steak all were very good for the price

I ordered the shrimp pho and was pleasantly surprised. The broth was light but still packed with flavor. It didn't feel heavy, but it still hit the spot. They were generous with the shrimp. They were a good size and there were plenty of them. I left full and satisfied. The space itself is cute and tucked into a tiny strip mall, nothing over the top but still a nice vibe for a casual meal. Service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only downside was that they were out of quite a few items. The staff mentioned it was because we came on the later side of the early evening (around 4 pm), which felt a little early to be running low, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, a solid find and I'll return the next time I'm in town.

We got seated fast and had good service. For appetizers I ordered the pork and shrimp spring rolls, eggs rolls, and the wings. The spring rolls were my favorite and the best I ever had. For entrees my husband ordered the combo pho and I ordered the pork n egg rolls vermicelli bowl. My husband said it was the best pho he ever had hands down. The broth and great flavor and it was full of meat. The vermicelli bowl pork was extravagant and flavorful. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures before hand. I will be back

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.
