So I’ve been on a little Pho kick lately and decided before it gets too hot that I was gonna go on a Pho quest to find out who as the best IMO. Been doing this for lunch for the last 2 weeks and now need some suggestions on places I’ve overlooked. Also need a recommendation for the best place on the Westbank b/c I’m not driving over there to eat twice, it would double my life time totals of times I drove across to eat out. Also was wondering the benefits or side effect of going on the SuperPhome diet. So far only thing I’ve noticed is that I smell Vietnamese when I sweat and spend a lot less money on lunch during the week. I would imagine Pho has a lot of sodium in it so that’s not a good thing.
Places I’ve been in the last 2 weeks
Pho Orchid
Pho Nola
Kim Anh
Pho Bang
Jazmine Cafe
Thanh Truc Bistro
Pho T&Q
Frosty’s cafe
Cafe Minh
What are some good places I need to check out? I know I missing out on the East, but I never really go out there

On the westbank, try Pho Hoa, Pho Tau Bay, Pho Bang, Nine Roses.

In the east, Pho Bang and Dong Phuong.

Your best pho is definitely yet to come if you've only tried the places throughout Kenner and Metairie. Kim Anh is great.

How was Pho T&Q? I've been meaning to try that one.

I stop at Frosty's at least twice a week for my Jack fruit or Taro smoothie.

Actually about to try my Honeydew-Avacado the owner talked me into. But today I ordered my Bun xo, and it came out in like three minutes. So I'm skepitcal of them.

Pho Bang and Pho Tau bay have the best I have had, but honestly I eat Vietnamese at least every other week, and I usually get the rice vermicelli dishes. So while I have tried many places, I haven't tried all their Pho.

In Metaire I like Pho Orchid and in Kenner I like the one on Chateau and West Esplanade.

Pho Bang uses the same recipe... if you went to the one in Kenner, you don't need to go to the East. Pho Hoa on Manhattan is pretty good.

hahahahaha. I like the Krusty Pho. So my next Nola trip I plan on getting some Pho for lunch. Coming in from BR, where should I go. (FYI i'm a white guy who knows nothing about vietnamese cuisine). I'm trying to broaden my Nola cuisine horizons and pho is the latest trend in foodie stuff right now.

Pho T & Q was pretty good along the same lines as Pho Bang. Im gonna go back and get deeper into their menu it looks pretty good.

Guess its gonna be Pho Tau Bay on the wank.
