We had a Family Birthday dinner last night. The service and food was great . The owner made sure we had everything we needed for my daughter's birthday. She got a bucket of water for the roses and made sure we had plates for the cake . It was a great experience. read more

We visited 9 Roses because my wife had a taste for pho. While I usually enjoy giving high ratings, this visit was average at best. Our server, Thoa, didn't exactly enhance the experience. I wouldn't describe her as outright rude, but her approach was very direct and cold, and I even had to walk over to her stand to get our bill. I really enjoy trying new dining spots and supporting our restaurant and bar community with generous tips, but unfortunately, this wasn't the type of experience that makes me want to return. read more

9 Roses - Chinese Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

Never come here unless you want bad food and horrible service. The lady on the phone was so rude. Anytime I ordered something her response would be "and ??" . She also hung up straight in my face when I asked how long it would take. She was also very rude when I went to pick it up in person. The food was mediocre at best. No flavor at all. The sesame chicken didn't have any taste to it, the crab rangoons are literally just fried cream cheese. It's also super pricey. Save your money and don't come here. read more

My family and I would always order togo from here and the food would always hit the spot! So my mom and I decided to dine in on a random Sunday since we rarely do that at Nine Roses. Funny enough, we would order the same thing we would usually order for home: "Mì Wonton Đò Biến" aka Egg Noodles with Wontons & Seafood ($12 not including tax) & "Bánh Hỏi Thịt Nướng" aka Pressed Vermicelli Squares with Chargrilled Pork ($15 not including tax). The food is always made fresh and never lacks flavor. The inside decorum is simple yet neat and clean. As for service, they are fast paced but always friendly to us. Overall, an OG Viet place in Gretna to try out if you have the chance! read more

Worth the trip to Gretna! Authentic Vietnamese with strong flavors, great portion sizes. Service always great and attentive. Nice ambiance, clean and bright. Go to place for Viet food on the West Bank! Also has bbq option but have not tried yet. Pho is also tasty. read more

Arrived around 8:10 at the restaurant on a Saturday night, which closes at 9. Were promptly greeted and seated. Nice atmosphere and lots of diners at this time of night. Glad to see a parking lot and not street parking. Drinks were the salted lemonade and the salted plum spritzers with club soda. Different but I drank all of mine (great if you've been walking and need to rehydrate) and finished out with the poured water. At this point our waitress - who wasn't proficient in English - had to find someone else to wait on us after we started asking a lot of questions about the menu. Ordered and split the Vietnamese Hot and Sour Chicken Soup (Canh Chua Gà) ($15), Cousin's whole reason for the visit. HUGE bowl of soup with lots of chicken pineapple, celery, okra and bean sprouts. Served with a plate of rice we didn't even use. Could have served 4-6. NOTE: I wasn't in the mood for soup, but since Cousin wanted it and this was the only size they would offer, I ate some and we brought the rest home. Dinner was Vermicelli with Chargrilled Pork (Bún Thịt Nướng) ($12). Lots of noodles, just the right amount of mint, and fish sauce was up to you to add. Pork was nicely cooked, though honestly, flavor of the dish was better when I reheated the leftovers a few days later. Ordered a large egg drop soup to go. Not really like the Chinese version - had an extra flavor or spice I couldn't identify - but if you are not sold on Chinese egg drop soup, this version might be your thing. Large portions, reasonable prices. There was teamwork in the service and check out was painless. We were in our car before 9P. read more

Dining at 9 roses was such a culinary experience! If you are looking to have an authentic Vietnamese food experience, I highly recommend making the trip out to the West Bank to dine here. We started off with the Spring Roll Grill and it was so delicious. They prepared all of the ingredients and we got both chicken and shrimp for our spring rolls. Additionally, we have one of the Moo Shoo pancakes and it was a new experience and new food that I tried for the first time. We also got the catfish dish with rice and had one of the hot and sour soups. They were so many options and this place felt so authentic to be able to try and explore different Vietnamese dishes. We were honestly very full with our first two dishes as a group of 4 and they were so generous with their portion sizes with affordable prices. I definitely plan on bring friends and family in the future when they are visiting in the near future one day again! read more

I'm Vietnamese from San Jose by way of Oakland California. 9 Roses is 100 percent on point ! The flavors and the portions were all great. Service was very fast and the food came out quick. The area around the restaurant was very dark and a little like the beginning of a horror movie with flickering lights and all, but the inside is very nice. The food gave me a little taste of home and I pleasantly surprised how inexpensive it was. I apologize for not providing photos but after drinking for 2 days in the quarter , I wasn't thinking about taking photos lol read more

Both dishes were average. The flavors were outstanding. I got a glass of the Vietnamese coffee; it was pretty watery. The Mongolian beef got good taste from the sauce and well marinated. However, the meat to vegetables ratio makes this dish more of a vegetable and beef stir fried. The combination pho soup is very well done, but someone needs to explain to me how it's a combination. For a combination, there are usually 4-5 parts of beef but I only got three types of beef, meat, mostly beef fat and the meatball. The service was fine. Nice and clean table. Might go back to try their kbbq or Vbbq (?) read more

Wow my last review is almost 11 years old! 9 Roses is still one of the OG Vietnamese restaurants in the GNO. I LOVE the chao tom (shrimp paste on sugarcane skewers) and you build your own wrap at the table. They also have a few Chinese favorites. Plus good vegetarian options. Service is good and the restaurant is always clean and the parking lot is easy to navigate. Accessibility for those in wheelchairs is also good. read more

WOW this place has probably one of the largest menus of anyplace in the New Orleans metro area!!! It isn't as large at it used to be but it is still quite extensive and includes items I've never seen at other restaurants in the area. They have abalone soup, various versions of pho, Chinese, Vietnamese, and several other Asian dishes thrown in for fun. The only complaint I've got is they don't offer jasmine tea like several other Vietnamese places do (maybe they do and I just don't know how to order it). I see more Vietnamese people eating here than just about any other place I've eaten in the area so maybe that means this is a really good authentic Vietnamese place. I really enjoy the food here and it is a really good value and actually just a downright cheap place to eat with fantastic food. They have some great value lunch specials here that are larger in portion size than many other restaurants dinner size portions!

9 Roses - Shark Fin Soup - Chinese Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

I've had many delicious meals there and the service is friendly and helpful. It's a family favorite.

On a scale of 1-10: service 1- I ordered by phone for lunch combo. I felt like I was having my order taken in the drive thru at McDonalds. Very quick very rushed. No please or thank you, just "yeah... Okay...What you want?.. uh-uh.." that vibe. Food 2. The rice portion was smaller than my hand and not fresh. There was one shrimp. The chicken was hot and crisp but that sweet and sour sauce was way too thick and the eggroll was nasty. I can't say much more than that because it was just a lunch but I won't be back. In this economy... with these prices? I expect way better than that. read more

9 Roses - Sweet & Sour Chicken, rice, egg rolls - Chinese Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

9 Roses is a delicious affordable restaurant if you are looking for amazing Vietnamese food. They have an extensive menu, including some Chinese options as well. The spring rolls and their Bun were phenomenal and are good portions for the pricing. Others in my party tried the Vietnamese crepe which was also delicious. The service was fairly quick and waitstaff were friendly. The restaurant is decently large inside and had large tables that could accommodate larger parties. Would definitely recommend and worth the trip to the west bank. read more

Excellent food and service. The favorite was the pho. Plently of noodles, meat, and broth for the price. The chao tom was not for me. Lack of shrimp flavor and tasted really oily. read more

The food is mediocre. The service is poor. The ambiance is old, gloomy and unappealing. The waiter was friendly, but the waitresses were awful. They pushed for the full menu rather than the lunch special. The shrimp and pork rolls tasted weird; I'm unsure if it's the pork or shrimp. NOT fresh. The eggplant dish was delicious. I don't understand how anyone recommends this place. read more

I gave the 4 star review as an overall score for the restaurant, including past visits. If I were rating just this food and experience, it woumd be a 1. Let me start by saying that 9 roses has been a favorite vietnamese food spot of mine for over 20 years, back before they moved to their current location . I was craving mandarin chicken and happened to be on the west bank, when I saw they made it, my first thought is their vietnamese is great, I'm sure this will be good too. I was wrong. First, I was getting it to go, they informed me that the to go order does not include the soup, that normally comes with the lunch special. I thought, "maybe they don't have soup togo containers", until she asked if I wanted to order it separately. No change in the price for not getting the soup either. I reread the menu and it said it came with tea, which when I asked for it, they seemed annoyed. I drove about 15 minutes home, so it shouldn't be too different than what you would get with dine in. The chicken was overcooked and very chewy. The gravy is super bland and the egg roll was very greasy. The fried rice was pretty bland too. I will not order chinese there again, but will return for their yummy vietnamese food. Very disappointing for over $14. read more

9 Roses - Mandarin chicken lunch special. I forgot to take a picture before I started eating. - Chinese Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

I do think 9 Roses suffers a little in quality because they do too many things. With a menu this big, not everything can be a hit. I get better Chinese at restaurants that are specifically Chinese. Same with Vietnamese. I've never had anything bad here, but nothing is so overwhelmingly good that I go back for it. I go here typically if I'm with someone who likes Chinese but not Vietnamese so we can each get our preference. Pricing is a bit steep compared to other Asian restaurants on this side of the river. read more

9 Roses is always a great place to visit. A local treasure; food and service are great. A huge menu with so many options to choose from and they always deliver. I always get the char-broiled pork and lemongrass chicken and it is always great. The place is a fantastic family venue and a warm ambiance. read more

Food is solid. Menu is extensive and for a first timer very overwhelming. However the menu is very exotic to the foreigner. This is my second time dining. I had lemongrass shrimp and white rice. I also had an iced coffee. Service was good and professional. Ambiance is nice and typical. read more

9 Roses - 9 roses Yummy - Chinese Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

I was in New Orleans and was really craving authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered the Canh Chua (sweet and sour catfish soup), Ca Kho To (caramelized catfish), with the Bò Tái Chanh (Lemon Medium-Rare Beef). Everything was so fresh and delicious. The star of the show was the canh chua, with the perfect balance of sweet and sour. The menu selection had a lot of diverse traditional Vietnamese food, from the typical Pho that you would see. Highly recommend and will be coming back! read more

It's sometimes the little things: the bathroom stall doors swing outward, which is what all bathrooms doors should do, but I digress. The food comes out fast fast at this traditional Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant. The salted plum soda is surprisingly delicious, and my Hot Pot catfish was good the first and the second time!!! The hot and sour soup was also HITTING! Only thing that was a bit underwhelming was the fresh summer rolls. All and all it was a great dining experience on the other side of the river! read more

If it wasn't for me being sick, and really needing soup I would have just asked for a refund and left. I called in ahead of time to order just pho no meat just the broth she noodles I was told 15 minutes got there about 20 minutes after ordering and had to wait another 20 minutes after paying for my food. I watched customers walk in , get seated , order food and get their food brought to the table before my food came. read more

9 Roses - Chargrilled Beef with Rice and egg and shrimp spring rolls!! - Chinese Near Me - Gretna, Louisiana

We grew up on 9 Roses and we tend to always come back every so often for nostalgia and the food is still good and everything we hoped for. This time we ordered the Mi Xao Don Do Bien (crispy fried egg noodles w/ seafood) and Goi Thai Lan (Thai Inspired Salad)... it definitely hit the spot! Sometimes service can be hit or miss; they're trying to keep up with short staff and high demands but we try to not be rude about it. But this time they were quite attentive and quick. So we're still happy! @phidingthefam read more

9 Roses has been a Grena/Westbank jewel for many decades. One cannot go there enough. It has a great ambiance and service always good. There are many time honored dishes that we are over the decades. The Thai seafood salad, string beans with shrimp, eggplant shrimp dishes are couple of things to mention but this would be a very long review if one goes into talking about different offerings. So, just go there and have feast. My family intentionally over orders to be able to carry a lot of leftovers to take home for next days. read more

I just wrapped up my 5th or 6th visit to NOLA. This trip was different since I'd already done all of the tourist stuff and this time I was here for work. It's also the first time I've had a car in NOLA, which was totally liberating and really opened up a whole host of new food options for me. I'd heard that there was a fairly well-established Vietnamese community somewhere around so I asked friends in the know who directed me to Gretna and to 9 Roses. It's an easy drive right across the river, an easy 15 minutes out of the FQ. We arrived at 7pm on a weeknight and were nervous as we had no reservation and the parking lot was full. It was busy inside but they were still able to seat us right away. Like so many other places these days, they were a bit understaffed and the service was slow but wow was the food worth the wait. They have a huge menu of things to choose from. I saw other people eating pho, whole fish, and some kind of meat being grilled tableside. It all looked so good. The menu also has a number of less common Vietnamese dishes as well. The dish that I'm not soon to forget was the Octopus Salad. Slices of tender octopus are mixed with fresh herbs, onions, and crisp green papaya (I think!) tossed in a rich, umami fish sauce based dressing with citrus and a bit of chili. Crush in the provided shrimp crackers from the separate bowl and you've got the most flavorful, textured, savory, piquant "salad" you've ever had. (I could drink that sauce!) I also ordered the banh hoi nem nuong (grilled ground pork patties on pressed rice noodles) and really liked it. The meat was a bit more rubbery than I'm accustomed to, almost like a Chinese fish ball, but the flavors were spot on. This was not a small meal at all but a welcome break from all the heavy NOLA cuisine I'd been eating. I look forward to coming back here again on my next trip out. read more

Found this place on yelp looking for somewhere to get soup close to work. I ordered a chicken dish for for a coworker as well. When I walked in I noticed the place looked really nice. It smelled delicious in there. My soup was really good and I tried my coworker's chicken. It was delicious. I did laugh at the ziplock bags they used to put our accompaniments in though. I'll def get food from here again though. read more

It's been 10 years since my last review, and I know my Vietnamese food now. While 9 Roses is good, it isn't the best of the best. On my visit, we had calamari, pork spring rolls, and pho tai. The calamari was TOUGH and relied way too much on the sauce for flavor The pork spring rolls were decent. The pho tai- my goodness. I'm sorry, but it had no flavor. NONE. I was shocked because I know people rave about this place. My "go-to" pho is Pho Bang, but the pho here just lacked so much flavor. I couldn't even finish it. Also, the service. We felt very rushed. The waiter would come and slam things around on the table. If you know me, you know a lot has to be happening for me to complain. This was a lot. read more

The food is good and the apps to. The service is great. Ambiance's like very traditional in Vietnam.

This restaurant should turn off their mobile order tablets if they have a full house and every table filled. They cannot fulfill takeout orders and table orders at the same time in a timely manner. I waited an hour to pickup a mobile order while I watched people sit down at a table, order, eat, and leave all before I received the order in which I was there to pickup. Food is amazing yes but to have to wait an hour for a (to go) order to be fulfilled is unsatisfactory. read more

Always a 10/10 meal here. I missed it so much during its renovation hiatus. But it's so nice leaving there without smelling completely like food. Come with a group of 2 or more so you can order everything! My favs to order here: Bo tai chanh - cured beef with lemon, red onions Banh xeo - turmeric crepe with shrimp and pork belly. Wrap in lettuce for extra yum. Ca kho to - clay pot braised catfish Canh chua ca - sour catfish soup Suon rim add quail eggs and tofu - braised pork ribs Ga xao xa ot - chicken stir fried with lemongrass and chili. Not as spicy as it sounds. Ngheu xao la que - clams stir fried with basil Bo muc tom nuong Vi - beef squid and shrimp on the hot grill - eaten like spring rolls Snow pea leaves or water spinach sautéed in garlic There are plenty more delicious dishes. I really don't think you can go wrong! They do get busy but food usually comes out pretty fast. Already drooling and wanting for more and I was just there a couple days ago. read more

If there was a (-) star I would give it to this place. The staff is rude and disrespectful. Our party of 5 came in and was ushered to our table. The waitress shows up 5-10 mins later and took our drink order. We asked her to take our order and she replied,"I don't do that, I only do drinks!" I asked her to get the "food" waitress for us then. 10 minutes later she shows up with our water I asked her again where is our waitress? She replied," she is very busy and will come as soon as she can!" When she did arrive she just told us what we wanted instead of us ordering. Needless to say, we waited another 30 minutes for 6 dishes. Do not come here read more
