Pho Bang Restaurant

My sister and I had lunch here with 4 of our kids. It was packed when we got there. Great little family atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. The family was so nice and attentive even though it was really busy. For the people complaining about the prices going up, have y'all been to the grocery store lately? In keeping with inflation, the prices were reasonable. Definitely planning to make this a regular family going out to dinner spot.

I have been travelling from out of town to Pho Bang since Katrina. The food is world class. The prices have edged up over the years so expect to spend $35-40 on lunch for 2 but it is worth that and more. The restaurant is very clean, spacious and friendly. If it was closer to downtown New Orleans I eat there 3 times a week.

This was as pleasant surprise as could be! We went to Dong Phoung Bakery on a friend's recommendation (we already knew about the spectacular bahn mi and the legendary king cake) for excellent pho and arrived to sadly learn it was closed for the Lunar New Year celebration. A guy walked up to us as we were dejectedly trudging back to the car for the longish drive back to the city and told us he'd gone down the road to Pho Bang and dined well. We decided to give it a go and man oh man, it does not disappoint! Singularly the. Best. Egg roll. Ever. Phylo dough? Tempura? Some sort of hybrid breading/wrap made them unique! The portions were huge for the delicious pho and a heaping platter of Asian basil mint with beans sprouts was included as garnish. Not the ornate dining room we'd expected to show off to our Pacific Rim guests - who know from Asian food - but the prices, portions, and deeply palatable fare made up for it, and they said it was easily the flavor equal of anything they'd eaten in the PacNorwest. Definitely a return trip to this friendly space in our future!
