Pho Sunrise provides a decent dining experience in a neighborhood filled with mostly uninspired cuisine. I wouldn't recommend you make plans to stop in, but if you are ever stuck waiting near the airport, this knocks the socks off food from the airport. I love pho. It is one of my favorite foods, and if we are going to have Vietnamese, you can count on me ordering a large bowl of pho, unless it's not my first trip to a Vietnamese restaurant that day. This time was no different. I ordered the Pho Tai Nam Gan Sach, XL for $8.75. Now the pho at Pho Sunrise was about average. The bowl comes out hot and steamy, which in addition to providing pleasing visuals and aromas, is important to "cook" the rare beef that it often comes with. The noodle soup is also served with a plate of fresh vegetables, which is customary. Pho Sunrise provided a plate of mung bean sprouts, fresh basil, cilantro, lime wedges, and jalepenos. I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the veggies on the tray looked. Nothing was wilting, and it all looked very fresh (mung bean sprouts can wilt within a couple days, so kudos, for having fresh pickings). I tried a bit of the soup, which was satisfying, but I was disappointed as the broth was not very flavorful. IMO, great broth is the key to having a great bowl of pho. Though you can spice things up with sriracha, hoisin sauce, lime, etc, these are complementary and not a replacement for good savory broth. I just got water with my meal. Nothing wrong here, except the cups are HUGE. They were so big, that the straws doesn't go over the lip. Maybe they expect some thirsty folks coming in or want more time between refills? Despite the large cups, my server was quite nice and stop by my table a few times. As far as the restaurant, there was some decent décor inside that gave the place some character and some TV's on either side that also make waiting around a little easier. The bathroom did smell pretty funky, so that was a turnoff. Note: I currently live in Baton Rouge, but I was spending the day in NOLA before picking someone up from the airport later in the evening (a little after normal dinner time). Their flight was delayed so I drove for a short distance and found this place (I had seen it before, and made a mental note to try it if I was ever waiting by the airport). read more

Very rude. Left before we were even seated. The heat and weather must be making them mad. Not worth it when there are so many great restaurants in the area. read more

This place was okay but Be aware, do not get the Taro boba tea. It tasted nasty and gooey. Taste like a bunch of starch. Told the waitress about it and wanted a different flavor, but she said that I'll be charged for another one. How do you guys make a terrible one then expect us customers to pay for another one that you guys messed up on? That is not right at all. read more

We still love this place and go here 50% of the time when we crave for Vietnamese food. My boyfriend and I mainly just order the Bun bo hue but their rice dishes and mi (egg noodle soup) are good as well. Service is always great and friendly. It's one of our favorite spots! read more

Hot & Spicy Beef Noodle soup (bun bo hue) is always my go to at this place. Good flavor with decent amount of heat. Even comes with a side of sliced jalapeños to kick it up a notch. Also went with the avocado boba tea which cooled everything down. read more

They have a bigger menu compared to most vietnamese restaurants. Not many have Mi xao mem and that's what I was craving!! - Soda Chanh mua - Bf lovesss it! He wanted me to make sure I mentioned it in the review! lol - Fresh Orange Juice - Sour but it's fresh!! - Pho Tai Nam Bo Vien- It's not the best but still delicious. They are very generous with the meats? ( LOL bf said that didnt sound right but ya'll get me right?! ) - Mi Xau Mem - very salty but I like it! Def hit the spot Bill : $29 read more

Friendly. Clean. Great a/c. Lovely menu of drinks-boba tea, sodas, beer, iced coffee. Tried the pho--great flavor. The cilantro, basil, sprouts, peppers were very fresh. Table equipped with sriracha, hosin, soy and fish sauces. Five beautiful bonsai and a Buddha along with framed flower embroidery add to the ambiance. The American flag hangs in the corner- more immigrants living the dream. One of the better bowls of pho I've enjoyed. I'll be back to explore the menu. read more

Pho Sunrise - Pho ready to eat with iced coffee. - Vietnamese Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

The quality of the pho here varies depending on the day that I've been here. What's worse is when I ordered the extra large pho and got the same amount of broth as their regular bowl. When I asked for more broth to go with my noodles, they tried to charge me an additional $1 for a ladle of broth. I've never heard of something so ridiculous, especially when I've gotten free bowls of broth that come with rice dishes at other restaurants! Also, the other yelp comments about having to buy water is true. Any water you ask for has to be bottled water that you pay for additionally. In short, this place is all about getting your $$ and not about the quality of your food or your dining experience. read more

Very good Pho Tái Nam. Well balanced flavor. Can't wait to visit again when I'm back in town. read more

The girl at the front counter is extremely sweet, and very polite. I walked in to order some food , I've ordered from this place before , very good food but but I wanted to try this soup that I hadn't tried before. It was the vermicelli shrimp and crab soup, The girl at the counter said she didn't really recommend that if I hadn't had it before because it is very fishy ,so I said OK and just ordered the Seafood soup. I then asked her if I could have a little sample of the broth of the shrimp and crab vermicelli soup in case I wanted to try it next time because it did look good on the picture .She asked the man that was working behind the counter and his response was we don't give samples , , I said, I just wanted to try a little bit of the broth to see if I actually liked it for next time, and he again repeated we don't give samples. He was extremely rude , but then again he was extremely rude from the jump when I walked in. When I 1st came in I asked for a menu and he just pointed at the counter to the right and said the menus are there You'll have to read it off the counter . If I do decide to come back to this place it strictly will be off the strength of the lady that was in the front,, she had manners,, she was polite and knew how to talk to customers, the man was an a******.! read more

Delcious lemongrass tofu vermicelli bowl. I had a craving and this place did the job for dinner. We dined in and were warmly greeted. Customers came in and out for to go orders but the dining area itself wasn't crowded, which I liked. Our waitress was polite and kept the water refills coming. Would definitely go here again for dine in or take out. read more

Wow very good pho. Spring rolls were also very fresh and tasty. Impressed. Fast service.

Looking to fuel up after a grueling workout. I ordered the grilled pork spring rolls, pho tai nam and grilled pork rice plate. I didn't come to this joint for the ambiance or the DJ spinning EDM, I came for the foodgasm. What I did find was quality soul food, service was prompt and friendly and I may have only taken one breath during the meal, which explains why I was blacking in and out of consciousness. I'll be back when I am thru town for business. read more

Good entree's fried egg rolls were too small and very average. The prices were too high for what we got. Pho Bang is much better.

I always love my trip here. Good food... Friendly staff... I'm sure some would point out that there's better pho to have in the city... But I like the people here.. read more

Pho Sunrise - Nice big dining room and always good food. - Vietnamese Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

A neat, clean little place serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine at reasonable prices. Service is fast and friendly and the menu contains all the classic appetizers and dishes. When exploring a new restaurant, I will always try the Phó because I believe good broth is a hallmark of great vietnamese cuisine and this one did not disappoint. The spring and egg rolls were also above par. I will definitely return to Phó Sunrise the next time I am in this area. "Life's too short for bland food, bad wine, weak coffee or cheap whiskey."

Best beef broth in NOLA area! I've needed this as I heal and transition from a "clear liquid diet" to be able to add more substantial solids to my slow recovery. I'm thankful that everyone gets to with the sa,me mild base and add spices and heat individually. That's been a blessing during this season of recovery. They are very pleased to make it easy to customize your order. Easy to add, substitute, and/or remove anything at your request. A little pricey but the amounts are generous and the quality of the beef is top grade. Just be ready to speak quickly on the phone. I haven't ventured into unfamiliar dishes yet. Maybe someday after this craziness I'll have time to sit in a public place and savor a more adventurous choice from the menu. In the meantime, #11 and Viet-eggrolls are my go-to that lasts me for 3 (!) entire home meals. Well worth price. I wish they delivered. read more

Very nice staff. The food is also very good. The typical Vietnamese flavor which is hard to mess up. The shrimp spring rolls were delicious & I ate both without hesitation. read more

The lady was so nice, the food was okay, but i feel a restaurant should smell like food and not cleaning chemicals.

This is probably the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant in the Kenner/Metairie area. The Bun Bo Hue actually had pork blood. Other places in the area don't. I'd definitely come back. read more

People should be ashamed for leaving reviews on family owned restaurants. One bad review can ruin ones only way to provide for their family. Nothing more disgusting than people who do this. read more

Service was pretty slow with only two waitresses taking orders and making boba teas although the restaurant was almost empty. It's also really hard to communicate with them due to the very little English they speak. To the point that when they brought us our soups we weren't even sure which order was what and when asked the waitress she couldn't help either. Last but not least the FOOD was VERY GOOD, but unless you speak Vietnamese or know each dish on the menu it is very hard to pick what to get without being able to be assisted with questions. I would have rated a 4 star but the language barrier was a huge minus in my opinion. read more

I see some people saying the service is too laid back or rushed etc. I personally like the laid back atmosphere. I've never felt rushed while ordering. However, there was one time when I was the only patron in the restaurant and the staff stood at the counter watching me eat. We all know how awkward it is to eat pho, and then to have someone watching you...lol! I love this place. It's close to my house and the pho is incredible. They have some really cool looking bonsais around the dining area as well. My only gripe is that they're not on Uber eats or Waitr :P read more

They are always open when the rest of pho closes so early everyday. Place is always quiet but you can enjoy authentic pho noodles anytime without worrying about business hours. Thank you for being open late! read more

The best bun bo hue in town. Spicy broth, with some congealed blood pudding( I know how it sounds but you should try). It burst with flavor of galangal and Lemon grass. It is a must try. The rest of the menu is not bad, they have slices of very rare beef, with spices and herbs that I have not found in many vietnamese restaurants. I would also recommend the spring rolls with sliced barbecue pork. The place is not pretentious, it is located in the somewhat run down strip mall. The service is attentive, but the only reason to go there is the food. And food is the main reason I to go to restaurants... Unfortunately, I returned a couple of times after the above review, for unclear reasons the quality took a nose dive, even the bun bo hue was ho hum... I cannot recommend it anymore... one can find better vietnamiese restaurants . read more

Very good food. The waitresses don't speak very good English, so it can be difficult to order at times because they always want to try up sell you to buy more food. Their phó and boba are point and always have a football or sports game on. It seems like a hole in the wall type place, but it's clean and the food comes out quick. read more

Although I haven't tried the pho here, I love their bbh and bun rieu!! So delicious! I always have a hard time deciding which one to order whenever coming here. Tastes very authentic and flavorful. read more

I came here a couple times.. I ordered the vermicelli chicken dish & the pho. Both were tasty. But the bolba tea I had which was taro one wasn't that good. It was way too sweet! And it didn't have that signature taro root taste. It tasted like it had so much syrupt in it! But overall good food. Service was mediocre. I had to ask for water twice. read more

I get take out every time I fly out of MSY. Today the guy refused to give me a small ramekin of Sriracha sauce. Told me to squirt it in my rolls instead. I said this is a take out order and I wanted to take out the sauce as well. Then proceeds to tell me I need to pay for a ramekin. Need I remind you a plastic ramekin cost about 2 cents retail. I told him it's ridiculous. He then says "you are fuckin ridiculous" I respond with an even Fuck You. He then says "you better fuckin leave before it's too late" Pretty sure he threatened me lol at this point the female worker tries to apologize to me and then tries to get the guy to go to the back. I've been to this spot over 30 times and usually the girl is the one at the register. Not sure what that guy was doing there but they should never let him deal with customers ever again! read more

I feel like this place is so underrated. It's good. It's simple. It's not fancy, English isn't their first language d there is a cultural difference. If you want fresh food that is consistent without the fancy decor and modern ambiance come here. I would go more often if it was closer to me. The menu is large and has a lot to pick from. Come enjoy and keep in mind if you want the authentic Asian experience this is what it is. read more

I gave this place four stars because its consistent in service and food is good. (Not the BEST but consistently good) that's why I keep coming back. read more

Wow, this little hole in the wall on Vets near Williams was a great find. The spring rolls and soup were fresh and refreshing. My wife got the shrimp lo mein and I got the boneless chicken in ginger sauce. The food was very good. The service was quite friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I'm not often to frequent this part of town but when I do I'll be sure to return. read more

This place was empty when. I went which was strange bc it was like dinner time , the place was very clean and workers very nice didn't speak much English but tried to assist me with my take out order as much as she could . I had ordered 2 large spicy beef pho and a combination rice and. 2 spring rolls , I find their prices were kinda high the rice was 10 bucks and they only offered one size . That was another odd thing the sizing it was either large or Extra large lol . The beef was kind of rubbery more than other pho places I have tried . The spring rolls were very good . The spicy beef was also like not gritty but like the soup has like a texture to the juice I can't explain I didn't like too much but it wasn't horrible I ate and enjoyed just not as my other pho restaurant read more

I am addicted to the mi hoanh thanh (egg noodle won ton soup) with pork, chicken, shrimp, crab and the most wonderful tiny bits of crackin floating in the broth. I eat versions of this dish all over town, and this is by far the the best of the best. read more

Just exited airport and found this gem. We love Pho and this was really good. Crowded and happy customers.

Fabulous pho and soups! Awesome, different, authentic dishes that go far beyond most pho places in the greater NO area. The mother and daughter that run this place are super friendly and are welcoming and accommodating. Also the prices... where can you go for an 8 dollar meal anymore? Subway? This place is delicious, healthy, and authentic. Sort of hidden in the suburbs of Kenner but easily found on veterans boulevard. 5 stars happily given! read more

hours posted on door open until 8:00 p.m., walked in at 7:20 p.m., were told "sorry closed". there were at least 20 people in the dining room eating. asked if we could get some bahn mi to go, were told no. read more

It's very rare of me to order pho from a pho restaurant because mama makes it best at home, so I went with the Bun Bo Hue aka Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. The broth was spicy, but not overpowering. I was shocked that the amount of beef was so generous. There was pig's blood which not many restaurants who offer BBH have. Our server was also very friendly. read more

Pho Sunrise - First time to try Bubble Tea. LOVED IT! - Vietnamese Near Me - Kenner, Louisiana

Damn y'all, this lady told me fixed my soup a certain way because i was asian and she made my friends American so that's why they made hers the way she got it and i had specifically told the waitress that i wanted the SAME order as my friend! Than she continues to argue with me about NOODLES when it went beyond that!! I was offended! & then she comes with a plate and chopsticks and picks out the blood in front of me and puts it on a plate and leaves the same bowl in front of me!! I ask to see a manager and he comes and he's just as much of an idiot and tells me no refund bc that's policy when I'm trying to order something else off the menu and so i asked if it was stated on the menu bc that's a bullshit policy and it wasn't stated anywhere lol. I tried to see the menu to see if i had missed it but he yanks the menu out my hands and tells me that HES THE ONE SAYING IT! Wild. Most garage restaurant with garbage staff. Pho orchid is super yum try them on Houma Blvd or just go down the street to pho bang rude waitresses and bullshit asshole managers do not deserve your money!!! I hope they never assume anything again just bc someone is American or asian!!! Good luck read more
