Tried it the other night did not get the Pho as I told it was subpar but I ordered a bunch of side dishes: birdsnest was great...kimchi fries were awesome....spring rolls were decent....house soup was pretty good.

Anyone else try this place? How is the Pho?

I've been once. My SO got the pho but I'm gonna be no help here because I don't remember what kind she got. I do agree the birds nest is awesome. Kimchi fries are on the list for next time. I got the works noodle bowl, it was solid. The pork was delicious.

Pho is good. Service is slow. The vegetable plate of bean sprouts, basil, lime, jalapeño is laughable.

I had the rice dish with grilled pork, shrimp, and a fried egg.

I thought it was good. They give a good amount of meat.

Their menu is a little light compared to other Vietnamese restaurants.

This place is vietnamese food for people who doesn't know any better.

I've only had the vermicelli and it's more than adequate enough imo.

Speaking on just vermicelli bowls, it's just as good as the places out by Florida and Airline.

There is also no place in South BR for Vietnamese so I hope it does well. That location is iffy though

I got "The Works" pho the other night. I was not impressed. Meatballs were bland, the noodles were in a large mass at the bottom of the bowl, almost like they'd been sitting in the bowl for a while. Broth was tasty, but I couldn't get over the bland meat and brick like noodles.

I wish Little Saigon or Saigon noodles was located closer to this side of town.

Need one of those legit Pho places like in N.O. Much cheaper too.

Lol. Do you think the Vietnamese people that went to BR instead of Nola just forgot all the recipes?

I could grab the best bowls from both cities and I guarantee you couldn't pick the Nola bowls over the BR bowls.

Agree on more options on the south side of BR.

It's pretty meh, in my opinion. It's ok if you're in the area and have a craving, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way for it.
