You know how some places have French po boy sandwich type breads? But they don't toast it right before being served? Or it tastes kinda stale? NOT THIS PLACE! But Lawwd have mercy you just gotta try the way they serve it to you at this place...they've spoiled me and I don't want ANY sandwich served ANY DIFFERENTLY from now on. Get the grilled lemon grass chicken or the shrimp. It's toasted on a French bread perfectly and so soft on the inside. I promise you, you will fall in love with it! read more

Viet Kitchen - Pork vermicelli with egg roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

Viet Kitchen serves up tasty Vietnamese food in a no nonsense, non-pretentious atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a tasty vermicelli noodle bowl, pho or noodle soup, and spring rolls (fresh or fried). I had the Pho Ga (Vietnamese chicken rice noodle soup), and it was off-the-chain. The pho broth was among the most authentic I've had!! If you order the pho, I think you'll be pleased. One final shout out goes to the staff. They were all super nice, very knowledgeable about the menu selections, and very attentive at all times. The bottom line = if you want authentic Vietnamese food and aren't worried about atmosphere, check this place out. read more

Not a fancy 5 star. But definitely deserves 5 stars for quality of food reasonable prices and fast friendly service

Good vermicelli and quality ingredients. Always completed timely, we usually order takeout and pick it up once a week.

While I was at work in Mandeville I needed a quick pit stop for lunch. Enter Viet kitchen in a little shopping center. Walking into the restaurant, I felt as if I was yelling across the hallway as the host area was in the back next to the kitchen. I walked to the back to order a banh mi neo nuong and a taro bubble tea. The taro bubble tea came out unblended but as a milk tea which was fine until the bubbles. The bubbles tasted overcooked and was not edible at times. The flavor was nice but was made from mainly powder. I received my banh mi and took it to go back to work. The banh mi itself was stiff and inedible. I was disappointed in the bread as the contents of the grill pork was beautiful. If they had a better baked bread or one that was fresh, the banh mi would have been pristine. Overall this is not the worst I have ever had, but a little bit of upgrades would help bring this place up. read more

Always a wonderful place to order take out or eat a nice meal there. Super friendly and the food is excellent. I love the chicken pho and the spring rolls are very tasty as well. Any time I am craving soup or spring rolls, this is my go-to for to-go! Very affordable and delicious. Best to avoid the delivery service fees, even when ordering take out that you plan to pick up yourself. A little insider info for you... Just call in directly to the restaurant and place your order over the phone. Do NOT use the internet platform (Uber Eats, maybe?) because you will be charged an extra "service" fee! read more

Viet Kitchen - #17. Chargrilled Pork & Shrimp Vermicelli with Eggroll. - Vietnamese Near Me - Mandeville, Louisiana

Their charred pork vermicelli was very tasty. The pork was super flavorful and melted in my mouth. The chopped eggrolls were super flavorful and had a great texture. They gave me plenty of sauce to go with the Bun. Really filling. I wish that they had drained the noodles better though because they were more wet than sticky. Also adding more cilantro would be nice. Will be back though! read more

I was on the way of long driving, so excited to find a Vietnamese restaurant. Pho and noodle was horrible, chicken was stink and the broth was not right temperature.....I wish I could talk out loud to all the customers around that they were serving wrong perception about Vietnamese food. The name of Viet kitchen should be taken off. read more

Best Pho I have ever eaten! We frequently get Viet kitchen to go and have never been disappointed!

Viet Kitchen is awesome! The Northshore has always had many great Thai restaurants, but never any Vietnamese places. It seems like we have finally caught up with the Southshore with several new places opening up in the past year. I've tried them all multiple times and I am happy to report that Viet Kitchen is my favorite. Food - Unlike many people who write reviews, I don't claim to be an expert on any cuisine. I do know what I like and Viet Kitchen cooks what I like. Pho - The broth is rich, complex and authentic. I could eat this broth alone or without any additional sauce. The addition of some siracha really sends it into the stratosphere. I've even ordered it several times through Menu Express and it was packed perfectly with the meat and fixings in one container and the broth in another. It was as good and fresh as if I had eaten in the restaurant. Not many foods stand up to the to-go process, but don't be afraid to order this one. Bahn mi - Dong Phuong baguettes are brought in from the east to make these perfect sandwiches. My favorite is the grilled pork, but they offer chicken and beef as well. Bun - If you are new to Vietnamese cuisine I recommend the pork and egroll bun. I particularly like theirs when they don't add cucumbers at my request. Cucumbers are awful and have no purpose in food. They are only good as pickles, but I digress. Spring rolls - even if you have some slang term for these rolls, their version is quite good. The peanut sauce they offer is the perfect dipping sauce so I'd order extra. Service - This is what earned their fifth star. The to-go process is stellar, but the people are equally great. One night after a 15 hour work day, I wanted some Pho and stopped in to pick up my food. I called from the parking lot so it wasn't ready and they were about to close. While there I was able to talk to some of the workers who explained the process behind making the Pho and how the owners would sometimes stay overnight if they ran out. I guess I never knew what a time intensive process that was and it made me appreciate the food that much more. In closing, if you're looking for Vietnamese in Mandeville, you should keep Viet Kitchen on speed dial. read more

Maybe not my favorite Vietnamese restaurant on the norrhshore but if I'm in that part of town and I got an itch for pho, It's the place to stop. The pho is good and I find their bahn mi are well dressed loaded. My only gripe is that my favorite Vietnamese dish, "bun Bo hue" is not on the menu. read more

All delicious. read more

We are ordered the rare beef pho, chicken wings, and beef vermicelli. All were amazing!

If you are a fanatic about excellent Vietnamese, by pass this spot. Went during lunch and they had two servers - sat down and was asked if I knew what I wanted to order. That's cool...I ordered the lemongrass chicken which came with a small bowl of pho. The "tell" for a great Vietnamese restaurant is their pho broth. This was cloudy, not clear, and was super salty so couldn't even taste flavor. The chicken was salty as well...guess chef got heavy handed with the salt. This is a simple place- ambience lacking and no alcohol. Too many other places that are way better. read more

Skip the $6.95 spring rolls. (You get 3 per order.) They are bland and have way too much lettuce. Go straight to the grilled chicken with lemon grass and rice. The dish was flavorful and just enough for lunch. read more

This place is like a hidden gem. The food is delicious! The pho is flavorful and comes in two sizes (small/large)! The vermicelli bowl, which I had today, was so good I couldn't stop eating. This place hasn't disappointed me in any way. The flavor will keep me coming back. If I lived in the area I would eat here multiple times a week. The sweet tea is always good and the waitresses are nice. read more

Been wanting to try this place. I've eaten Viet ever since living in N.O. East. Also had several pleasant experiences in Gretna. I had the grilled pork, rolls and noodles. Pork was well marinated and tender. Usually I am disappointed in either the fattiness, texture or lack of flavor in the pork. Not this time. Amazing flavor, etc., rolls were a treat and vegetables were fresh. Even the sweet tea was fresh and tasty. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is polite but not in your face friendly. Another issue I have had with small Viet cafe's has to do with cleanliness. Again, Viet Kitchen did not disappoint. The Dining Room, counter area and bathroom were all clean and orderly. I even peered into the Dishwasher area and it was clean and organized. I never give 5 stars because there is always something that a reviewer would prefer or something else that could be improved. In this case it is the lack of exotic, homegrown herbs and greens that I get at the places in Michoud. None of the Northshore Viet cafe's include these due to supply. read more

I love this place. I eat here at least once a week. It has the best pho in Mandeville. I get the veggie pho with tofu. It is under new management and they changed the broth...which is perfect. Very friendly service...they treat me great, as I always eat here alone. read more

When I walked in to be honest I was not that hungry, the first thing I noticed was the bamboo shoot decor hanging above the booths, and the cleanliness providing a comforting Asian atmosphere. My server though I can't remember her name was both accommodating and courteous to me checking up often. For my starter I decided on the spring rolls which though pricy were quiet delicious most spring rolls are 3.95 these being 6.95 however they provided a decent amount of shrimp fresh vegetables and the spring rolls were HUGE and I got three of them worth the extra three dollars in my opinion. I had read about over priced food here however I was 100% happy with the amount of food I got for the price. For the main course which was only 3 dollars more than the appetizer, I went with the Vietnamese crepes which were a little underwhelming it was good the sauce that came on the side was great and the meat and vegetables inside were scrumptious. However the crepe it self was slightly flavorless and a little soggy still very good and a large amount of food for the price! The fresh Spicy sauce the have sitting on every table added just the flavor and kick I needed to make the crepe above average, still though I have had better Vietnamese crepes before. If you are looking for a quick lunch by yourself or maybe a first date this is a great place to go clean secluded and a good quantity of food for reasonable prices easy 4/5 and I feel like if I had tried the PHO there it would've earned the 5 I will definitely be back again to try it ! read more

We had chicken wings which were very good. Vietnamese fried rice which was a little bland. And we had the rare beef and brisket pho. Which was also bland. A good pho is all about the broth and this broth was just ok. The brisket was also tough. So for Pho in Mandeville stuck with KiKi's.

So far, after trying them all this is going to be my #1 spot for Spring Rolls, Taro tea, and Pho. I really think they by far have the best quantity and value. It's always fun to have a spring roll for a midnight snack. They give 3, not the standard 2 rolls per person. They have the creamy fresh peanut sauce not the thin or clearer one some places serve to cut back on costs. The staff is genuine and very friendly. I will be back, probably once a week! read more

This place just opened a week or 2 ago so I have to assume that the 5 star reviews from the other reviewers who have never reviewed anything else are in fact friends or family. I however, am neither. I love Vietnamese food and we were excited to see one opening so close to the house. $43 and a tummy ache later, I'm not so excited anymore. I will say that the staff was very nice and the food arrived quickly. The food- I started with the strawberry bubble shake ($3.95). It arrived and I was shocked to discover that it was actually literally strawberry quick milk (remember the can with the bunny on it?). Needless to say, it was gross. We then ordered fresh rolls ($5.95/3), and the fried rolls ($4.95/3). The fresh rolls were small and tasteless. The peanut sauce was just a little off, and the rolls were missing basil, cilantro, and cucumber.....that I could tell. They tasted like shrimp, iceberg lettuce, and noodles and nothing else. The fried rolls were ok, but again they were off. They tasted like a mix of Vietnamese and Chinese flavors. I swear I tasted cabbage. Weird. Next we ordered our main courses. My partner ordered the fried rice ($8.95), and I ordered the bun with pork/shrimp/rolls ($9.95). The fried rice had no flavor and was a mix of carrots/peas/baby shrimp/corn/chicken. Yes, corn. We are not sure but think this might be the frozen Trader Joes fried rice. It tasted salty, dry, and honestly yucky. My partner was not amused. My bun was small, and the pork was fatty and overdone. The shrimp (2 pieces), were small and over cooked. I made it through half and gave up. It is the worst bun I have ever had. The veggies included 3 small pieces of cucumber, some iceberg lettuce, a bit of shaved carrot and a sprig of cilantro. We definitely will not be back. If craving Vietnamese food, go to Kiki's pho Saigon on 190 in Mandeville, the food is so much better, and fresh! read more

Viet Kitchen is good and very consistent. One of my favorite aspects is that the Pho orders come in two portions - large and small. The small portions are perfect for an average appetite with no leftovers. Contrast this to most other circumstances when you KNOW you will have half of the pho left (but it's never as good reheated. Taste-wise, the flavor is complex and savory. The spring rolls are also very good - a solid go-to appetizer. Service is always friendly and prompt. Food is generally served very quickly. Overall - This place does well for the price, location, and food genre. Perfect for quick sit down lunch. I've become something of a regular. read more

We eat Vietnamese restaurants all over the area. This one is one to miss. The service is mediocre and the food is as well. The spring rolls were uneventful and the bahn mi and soups were not very complex. Try pho Saigon if you want better more authentic food on north shore read more
