Love it! In my opinion, the best pho and banh mi in New Orleans bar none. Tasty, cheap (the banh mi is only $3.50!), and friendly service. Make sure you stop by the attached bakery after your meal to get some delicious Vietnamese baked goods as well. 5 stars for Dong Phuong! I will definitely be back.
Long-time favorite. Been stopping in since the early 80's when coming home to metairie from bay st. louis. the best pho, whole duck, and assortment of noodles and sandwiches. the variety is hugh and my kids (34-32-25) still love going there. see you there for mother's day for a great meal and a relaxing casual feast.
Meat Pies. I don't usually care very much for meat pies but these were amazing. So flaky and delicious and the pork inside so delicious.
YUM!. My friend and I shared two banh mi, a roasted pork (#4) and a BBQ chicken (#9), and they were both delicious, with super fresh ingredients and possibly the best bread of this type I've ever had (firm but not so firm that it scrapes the roof of your mouth). And such a deal at $3.25 each. Can't wait to go back and try all the other varieties!
Worth A Journey. Great bahn mi spot, and they sell beautiful baked goods. The loaves of bread can't be beat, and the price of three for around $1.50 is a steal!
My wife and I discovered this jewel today. First time in my life after eating a meal at a restaurant, I immediately ordered the same entree for the road. Of the 10 or so Vietnamese restaurants I have visited in my lifetime, this one is #1!!!

Delicious. The best tasty, best value vietnamese food in New Orleans. $3.25 for a Po-boy that was stuffed full of yummyness! $1.25 for scrumptious croissant style meat pies. It's way out in the east but well worth the drive!
Great viet food and American Chinese, I had grilled tofu , spring roll , egg drop soup and coconut juice , all for lunch and all for about $7. Id go back , I love pho and bubble teas and this place has about the biggest selection of bubble teas I've seen

Why did I wait so long to try this place??!!. Every bite was amazing! I hit the bakery today and picked up a bunch of items to go. The grilled pork bahn mi was the best bahn mi I have ever had. The grilled pork was sweet, caramelized, tender, thinly sliced and a significanly larger portion than other places....a steal at $2.85. The veges were fresh, lightly pickled, very crunchy and also abundant. They've earned their title of best french bread in nola. I picked up 5 rolls for $2.00.
I was suprised when I picked up a pork, sausage and egg in flakey crust...it must have weighed 8-10oz. Unreal. The crust was both flakey and a little bready...just substantial enough to contain all that pork. Very tasty, super moist and incredibly filling...loved it. The steamed bun had the same filling but a lightly sweetened, fluffy, spongy bun...another winner.
Why would anyone ever eat fast food when this is an option? For $12.85 I got 5 rolls, 1 bahn mi, 2 pork steamed buns, 2 pork in flakey crust and 1-20oz soda. I took my goodies and jetted up to the pochatrain shore for a bahn mi in the sun...perfect lunch. I cannot wait to come back with friends and eat at the restaurant.

This place never fails to please me with their food, and I'm Vietnamese. Just a tip when you eat at the restaurant... Order your drinks way before your food because service is a little slow.. My favorite dish is the com bi suon cha with egg. It's classic and delicious! The portions they give you with all the main dishes are also huge so it's worth the money

I want to share with my Google Maps 🌎 family how wonderfully amazing this vietnames restaurant and bakery 🥖 is! Screaming 📣from the top of the mountains ⛰️ "Stop by and try any of these deliciously prepared dishes! You'll fall in ❤️ love with anything you chose!"
Bakery items to the full restaurant menu, all I can say is get there, try new things, try things you've had before, just get there!
We had boba drinks, pho, korean short ribs, rice noodles, and so many bakery items. You will not go wrong with anything you chose!
I love their Banh mi there. Had food at their restaurant too and had the bun Bo hue and the mi wonton. Food was legit and probably the best around. Banh Mi was nice and crunchy and had great flavor of ingredients.

I've been going to the Dong Phoung bakery since I was a child. My family lived in BR but every time we went to NOLA, we just had to stop by for some french pastries and delicious banh mi. Now as an adult, I'm able to go to Dong Phoung myself, I also make sure to stop by even if it means driving through 50mins of traffic.
It has never disappointed, the flavors are always so good. The banh mi here will always be my #1. The bread is the perfect amount of crunch, it has a satisfying sound when eating.
I love the steamed bao, both the pork egg and char siu filling are tasty. The bao is nice and soft with a sweet flavor. The pate chaud and baked bao are also so good, especially when fresh. I love the texture of the baked bao.
I haven't had their pastries often, so I don't have much to say about the ones that are displayed on the shelf. I have had the pandan honeycomb, yucca pie, and steamed banana cake. I was surprised to see the steamed banana cake but it was delicious and reminded me of my childhood when my grandmother would make me some. The honeycomb cake was also a familiar taste that had that chewy soft texture that it's known for.
I think the only thing I've had that was a miss was a slice of jelly cake. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not the biggest pandan flavor person and I was also expecting it to taste like something else T_T
And then lastly, I did choose to get my 2022 King Cake from Dong Phoung and it was just amazing. I usually don't like cream cheese icing but it was a good balance to the cake. I'm definitely going to get a king cake from them again in 2024.
The customer service is immaculate, everyone is so kind. I'm happy that they are able to invest into their branding and upgrade with the bags and banh mi boxes. They have this cute imagery of a scooter with nola backgrounds like .. I love the culture that's being spotlighted.
An absolute must if you enjoy Vietnamese food! The bakery always has a wide array of treats, breads, and much more. Best French bread and King Cakes around! There is also a resturant attached to tickle your tastebuds even further. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

In my opinion, this place is an all-time classic for authentic Vietnamese food! I dined in at Dong Phuong with my mother on a Sunday evening, and the service was nice & quick. We ordered two dishes. The first dish was a “Com Suong Nuong”, which is a Grilled Pork Chop dish sided with rice, cucumbers, and picketed vegetables ($11.00). The second dish was a large “Hoành Thánh Mì Hoặc Súp”, which is a bowl of egg noodle soup filled with wontons and pork ($17.00). For drinks, we got a Thai Tea drink with regular boba ($5.00) and an Avocado smoothie with extra lychee jelly ($5.00 + $1.00 = $6.00).
For the grilled pork chop dish, it had so much flavor to it! The pork chop was charred to perfection. Not only that, but the portions were massive as well! For $11.00, this type of dish was really cheap. As for the egg noodle soup, the broth was good too and the portions were huge as well, but I personally liked the pork chop dish more because of the impact the charred flavor got on me.
For the drinks, they were all tasty and price worthy in my opinion. As for the decorum, the place is clean, but still a bit dark and small. It’s not like a trendy setting, but the service, cleanliness, and tastiness makes up for it. Although Dong Phuong is located in New Orleans East, a very dangerous area, I’d still say this restaurant is worth a try, especially for the Grilled Pork Chop dish!
Been salivating about Dong Phuong since we wen two weeks ago.
Went into Dong Phuong not knowing its reputation. It seemed like a well run bakery and banh mi shop. Loved the variety of pastries. We got mooncakes, an impossible pate chaud, crawfish meat pie, and an impossible bulgogi banh mi as well as the Vietnamese sausage.
We were absolutely blown away with how excellent everything was. The impossible items were so good! The baguette was crisp and light, everything was incredible. Absolutely deserving of the praise given to Dong Phuong. I wish we lived closer!
For the ABSOLUTE BEST King cake!! I drove from NJ -before they shipped-to share these exquisite cake with family! Had a great lunch & took sandwiches home.
Wow! That’s all I can say. Traveling through New Orleans from out of state and I love Viet food. Never had a baked version of of the bao and I definitely recommend it. Pate Chaud and Meat Pie is what I got. Wish I had bought more to go. Did try the Bahn Mi and I thought that was okay.
Traditional Vietnamese restaurant. Very clean, staff was very friendly, and had great customer service. The food was hot and fresh! The portions were plentiful. Flavors were really wonderful. You can see the bakery next door and it was very busy. I'll have to add photos of bakery next time. I was too distracted with all the yummy goodness going on over there.
Best king cake period and for $28 bucks each👍you gotta get there between 8-10a or it’s all gone and the limit is 3 king cakes per person. I would recommend to order online on the same day and then picking it up. My favorite is crème cheese 😊
