Pho Michael

Tonight was our first night trying Pho Michael and we will definitely be back! Pictured is the Spicy Beef Pho which was absolutely delicious! The hints of lemongrass were perfect! We also got a grilled pork banh mi which was one on the best I have ever had! My husband got the brisket pho and he really enjoyed it! Make sure to try the Arnold Palmer too! It is made with jasmine tea!

Worse experience at a Pho restaurant in the New Orleans metro area. I have Great Pho all over Nola.. this was my first time at this place and was my last. I will never go there again. I ordered a large bowl of Pho with brisket and their spicy beef broth. When it came my large bowl which cost me $3 extra was barely 3/4 full. As I dug through it looking for the brisket I found that they maybe had 5 or 6 very lean, tough, and small pieces in the entire bowl. The spicy beef broth was ok. I didn't eat that much of my Pho I was put off by the fact that I had spent so much for barely any meat. I asked the server for the rest of it to go. She said ok and went on to do a few things. When I ask for the check a few minutes later I again asked her for the rest of my pho to go.. she said ok again and took my bowl away. When she can back with my bill I paid it and she returned with my change but no Pho to go. When I asked her when my to go was?? She told me she threw it away!! What?? I ask for it to go 2x! So after a couple of minutes of talking to someone else... they asked me to wait another 5 minutes or so and they would replace my large bowl with a regular size to go Pho. Sadly the replacement also barely had 5 or 6 small very lean tough pieces of brisket. This place is over priced, stingy, and not that good.. there are plenty of great Pho places in Nola.. go to anyone of them, don't waste your time here. I will say the server was nice and very apologetic.

So I've been coming here for years and it all started because of the House Spicy Beef soup. However, the quality has declined dramatically over time. The amount of actual beef is now about two tiny slices with the rest being what you see in the picture. I'm normally ok with a bit of fat, gristle, and tendon that add to the flavor of these soups, but if you're going to sell a dish and call it "beef", maybe don't skimp so hard on the actual beef. I know prices are rising and it can be tough, but raise the price of the dish instead of misleading the customers about what's in it.

Brought my mom here for an early Mother’s Day lunch. Honestly wasn’t our first choice, but our usual location was closed. We ordered the pork bao buns for our appetizer (pretty good). we had the Vietnamese iced coffee and my mom had a winter melon boba tea (also good). I ordered the P1. combination pho with spicy beef broth, my husband had the P3. filet pho, and my mom the B1. Pork with rice noodle vermicelli. My mom was happy with hers, but my husband and I less so. The redeeming factor for my dish is that I got it spicy. Anyways, the server was nice. The place was clean, but empty and some guy (assuming it was a customer) came in yelling about how they were dishonest. I personally would not recommend this place and we will stick to our usual pho spot in the future.

I only got spring rolls, but it was two rolls for $8. Most places offer four for $6. I just got rolls because the waiter was kind of rude and acted like I was wasting his time because I said I needed extra time. He had an attitude of wanting to get me in and out as quickly as possible. There was no one else in the restaurant either! By the time I left, one person came for take out and a family of three sat down right as I was leaving. Google said this is “as busy as it gets.” Stick to take out with this place if you don’t mind paying the prices. They seem like they don’t want people to dine in.

It is very calm place. It is a peaceful place to eat. Very clean and perfect decorated I went with my husband and daughter and we have a really good time. The service is fast and kind staff. The food is really amazing. The beef juicy. The soup oh my God with a mix of several spices that give a perfect combination. The vermicelli warm, the chicken with an incredible flavor and the avocado smoothie is real avocado so good! It is my vietnamese favorite place now. I think they will see me many many times. We have a really good time.
