The general tso chicken tasted strange and had no flavor or spice. The fried rice did not have much flavor. The mixed vegetables was mostly onion with some broccoli, 2 mushrooms, 2 carrot slices, 2 bamboo shoots: No corn or water chestnuts.. The crab rangoons were over cooked and hard/stale. read more

This review strictly off of a doordash delivery. I ordered sweet and sour chicken with white rice a large egg drop soup with extra wontons . The delivery first off arrived faster than the estimated time. It also was perfectly packaged and it was hot the Most important part. The sweet and sour chicken is delicious and tinder with the perfect amount of crunch. The sweet and sour sauce is on point too. The egg drop soup is great. Did I mention it was hot and the fried wontons are the perfect touch. Always get extra cuz you are going to need them. I like the crunch. I definitely would recommend this place if doing doordash or just doing takeout. This is a win and I'm satisfied read more

This place was quick and satisfying! Average price for the area and the food was quality! I ordered the Sichuan chicken, chicken lo mein, and shrimp eggroll. The cuts of chicken were great! No blubber, no tendons, and all white meat! I didn't love the flavor of the sauce, but that is just personal preference; it was cooked perfectly. I LOVED the lo mein; it was flavorful, moist, and not overcooked. The shrimp eggrolls were delicious! They were fresh and crispy. My only complaint was that for $2, I would get either an enormous egg roll or multiple smaller ones. However, I only got one average sized roll. Overall good experience, and I would recommend this place if you're in the area! read more

Today, April 1st, I decided to try The Great Wok located on Mirabeau Ave. My sister recommended it to me saying it was good food and the service quick. I ordered 2 orders of the Mandarin chicken combo with two orders of egg rolls for my nephew and me. The chicken was very good, the shrimp rice actually had shrimp in it that you could see with a very good flavor, and the portion size was generous; I was disappointed in the egg roll - very big but with nothing except cabbage and a couple of shreds of shrimp. Sad, but good egg rolls are very hard to find in New Orleans The order was filled in 10 minutes and as I waited in the small dining area I noticed how relaxing it was, with soft music playing and a small water feature softly splashing. The man at the desk was nice and the service was good. A good place for good food and reasonable in price. If you're in the mood for Chinese then try The Great Wok. read more

Good, quick, satisfying Chinese take-out. Tried this place because it's near our neighborhood. Located in the Gentilly area of New Orleans in a low-key shopping center. Called in a to-go order (ready in 10 minutes) : General Tso Chicken, Bourbon Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, and Spring Rolls. General Tso Chicken was hot and made fresh to order! Bourbon Chicken was dry, sauce was not evenly disbursed, only came with 4 small pieces of broccoli. Pork Fried Rice was awesome! Spring Rolls we're great! They tasted fresh and were hand wrapped. Customer service is "just ok". read more

I bought the sesame chicken with lo mein, house special mei fun, and a small beef and broccoli.

The worst Chinese food I've had. 3/4 of it up ended up in the garbage. For starters, the dumplings were like tasteless wads of gum stuck together. When I called earlier during the day to inquire about take-out, I was told to allow 10-15 minutes. Later, when I placed my order, I was told it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. I arrived in the drive-thru 15 minutes later, sat for 15 minutes waiting on the 2 cars ahead of me. I get to the window and was told my order, which was only one entree, would be a few minutes. That turned into 20 minutes. Never again! read more

Cheap Chinese food is a guilty pleasure for me, and Great Wok delivers on being inexpensive while giving you that sweet/salty fix. Portions are large. Fried foods are not greasy and they have some American items like plain chicken wings to keep those happy who don't like ethnic (the kids). This is not fine dining but does well at what it is, hot, tasty takeout Americanized Chinese standards. I've been here a handful of times and it's always good. read more

Always hot and fresh, and tasty. Call ahead and within ten minutes simply roll up to the drive-through and pick up your meal. There is a young man at the counter/ window who has been there for years - I've watched him grow up! He's humorous and efficient. The rice is not the most flavorful in the city, but it's tasty and never mushy. Ask for their house hot mustard, not the mass-produced packets. It's really good. read more

At first glance, everything looked pretty good. I ordered sesame chicken, orange chicken, shrimp toast, crab rangoon, fried rice, and an egg roll. Big portions, and it was packaged well. Unfortunately, it was some of the worst tasting food I've ever had. The orange chicken seemed more like sweet and sour chicken with a few orange rinds thrown in. The sesame chicken was sweet instead of hot like it says on the menu. Even the crab rangoon was sweet. I understand that junk food Americanized Chinese food is generally sweet, but it tasted like someone mixed up the salt with sugar on accident. Most desserts are less sweet than this food. Egg roll had huge chunks of raw cabbage in it, and it tasted like old fryer oil. Shrimp toast was only fried on one side. The fried rice was just pathetic, huge chunks of raw onion and it had absolutely zero flavor, and barely any pork. I honestly dont even think the rice was fried, it almost just looked like yellow rice that a piece of onion and meat fell into. No soy, no salt, it was really bad. Would not return. read more

Great Wok on Mirabeau sucks. It depends on the time of day, and who's working or in the kitchen. My shrimp egg rolls were refried, or fried over, probably been sitting all day, and very greesy. The shrimp taste spoiled. If you go there early in the day you can get an ok meal. But late in the evening you get garbage. Food that's been sitting all day, spoiled! The shrimp in the egg rolls are opaque and orange in color ? Even when you fry shrimp, you can see whiteish color in the inside, not these. The place could also be a bit cleaner. This is more than likely my last experience there. read more

After quite a bit of discussion in the kitchen, the server returned, but instead of a manager coming out, I was given essentially the same explanation we had already discussed. I calmly explained why the charges didn't make sense and expressed that I was unhappy with how the situation was being handled. Unfortunately, there seemed to be little interest in resolving the concern or retaining my business. The food is fine, but my advice is to carefully review your bill before paying. Based on my experience, management does not appear particularly concerned when customers raise billing issues.

This week I wanted to visit spots successfully catering to locals and stumbled upon this tiny neighborhood hidden gem. Hidden because one would have easily missed it repeatedly when driving (or walking) past since the whole exterior was so unassuming at first glance. It only showed up on my radar when I meticulously searched for seafood spots on different platforms and randomly stumbled on their Facebook page. Best boiled crawfish and shrimp it said. Always fresh it exclaimed. Decently priced it stated. Well, this I had to go see it for myself and put to test. This was obviously a detour from my planned R&D in NOLA but was definitely a spot that must be designed for locals (and random tourists like me). This was confirmed immediately when I stepped in to see a long line of construction workers from the nearby site picking up lunch and some young kids digging into bags of shrimp and crawfish in utter delight. While looking at their sharpie streaked menu, I noticed quite a number of customers striking up conversations with the lady behind the plexiglass like long lost friends as they too picked up food to-go. Yeah, definitely a local friendly spot. Shrimp and crawfish by the pound was CHEAP in comparison to all the places in the area I've been. The best part? After getting back to the AirBnB, I realized just how good and fresh the seafood was! Succulent, very well seasoned, and not severely overcooked (like some spots around here prefer to serve it). I could taste the spices and aromatic vegetables used in the boil and found each bite absolutely tonguegasmic. Came for a pre-lunch snack and now back for a pre-dinner snack. Both the lady and gentleman had a smirk and muffled giggle as they saw me again. "You like it?" No, I love it. I'm here for a week and I'll be back every day you're open until I fly out of here. Take my money and give me thy awesome shrimp!

On our walk from hotel to Walmart, my husband and I stumbled across this little spot. A quick Yelp…read moreand Google check showed great reviews, and even though the photos looked pretty simple, we decided to give it a try. Sometimes that's just how travel works and you cross paths with unexpected gems. The owner and his family couldn't have been nicer. This place has been around for over 30 years, a mix of convenience store and local eatery. The owner, an older Asian gentleman, warmly asked me and my husband where we were from as soon as he saw us. We think maybe because there aren't many Asian in the neighborhood and it instantly felt welcoming and we started to chitchat. His son was helping in the kitchen that day, and the guy taking our order (super friendly, too!) turned out to be his son-in-law, just stopping by on his day off. This place is small but we could tell most of the steady stream of takeout customers were regulars. We ordered about $50 worth of food: * C2 Fried Chicken (10 pcs) - $11.99 * P6 Shrimp Po'boy (12") - $5.99 * P8 Catfish Po'boy (12") - $7.99 * R5 Cajun Gumbo - $8.99 * Two cans of drinks It felt special that on our very first day in New Orleans, we got to try two of the city's most iconic dishes: Gumbo and Po'boys right here in this humble neighborhood spot. The fried chicken was super crispy, the Po'boys were packed with filling, and the gumbo was flavorful without being overly salty. We couldn't finish it all, so the leftovers became our breakfast the next morning. The shop itself is nothing fancy, just two folding tables and a few chairs but the food and the warmth of the people made it one of those memorable stops that really stick with us. We actually came back on our last day in New Orleans and wanted to try the Yak-Ka-Mein Soup which was recommended by the owner but it was closed on Memorial Day:( I guess we will save it for our next visit. If you ever find yourself in the area, I'd highly recommend trying their food. T&T Seafood & Po-Boys 548 Jackson Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130

Do you like a plate of food that speaks classy without punching you in the wallet, and servers who don't hover, but can answer even the most random questions you could have about the stuff on your plate? Look no further, friend. Right off the bat, after arriving on a Friday around 4:45 PM we were seated promptly, given water and the tastiest little sweet yeast rolls ever (the tops actually crackled when you squish them you guys), and made our bevvie choices. Tonic with lime for me (I'm behaving rn) and an Old Fashioned for wifey. Killer. We skipped the appetizer course and ended up ordering off the specials menu for both meals. She got braised brisket with deviled egg potato salad (fantastic!) and I got grilled Amberjack with roasted Brussels, topped with pickled peppers, onion, capers, and a drizzle of olive oil and Crema. Did I mention this place has a rustic atmosphere, and cozy feel, AND a Michelin recco without a dress code required?!? We had Lemon Buttermilk Icebox pie for dessert... MY GODS. This pile of words I just typed doesn't do this place justice. Chef Link has got something special going here, and his butcher shop next door is totally groovy too. I can't rave enough about this place, and I wish it wasn't so dang far from Texas, but hey, it's just another in a list of damn fine reasons to come visit the fine folks of NoLa again.

Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

This is a must-do if it is your first time in NOLA. But are the beignets tasty? Only if you like…read moresugary powder over fried dough! Don't be deterred if you see a long line - that's for takeout only. The tables are first come, first served. Portions are quite large so good to share a plate (3 beignets) between 2 ppl.

Make sure to tip extra because it is one tough job.

The combination of perfectly smoked pork, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese was incredible, but what truly set it apart was the banana pepper aioli paired with their signature cilantro-jalapeño pesto. The flavors were bold, balanced, and unforgettable. Served on fresh, crispy bolillo bread, every bite had the perfect combination of crunch, heat, and tender smoky goodness. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are obvious from the first bite. Cochon Butcher has earned its reputation, and after trying this sandwich, I completely understand why. Whether you're a local or just visiting New Orleans, this place deserves a spot at the top of your must-visit list. I'll definitely be back--and it will be hard to order anything other than that incredible Cubano. Say hi to Anthony, Zane Ciarra, their recommendations are on point! Cheers!

We ordered the Mongolian beef (absolutely insane) it was tender and flavorful and loaded with veg &flavor. We also got the orange chicken which was the most citrusy orange chicken I've ever had - and the breading was light (not that clunky type you get normally) and retained its crispiness for hours. The egg rolls were awesome, we got one chicken and one pork. Both were excellent; but if I had to choose it would be the pork - meaty and crispy. Lastly, the pièce de résistance was the pork lo mein. The chew to the noodle, not overdone and soggy, absolutely divine. Salty and savory and the overall perfect accompaniment to the meal. Honestly it could stand alone as a full meal. This is the type of restaurant that makes you log in to yelp for the first time in 4 years to post a review. (But is also one I want to keep secret because it's too yummy!) What I'm excited to try next: egg drop soup, any beef dish, and the crab Rangoons. Thank you green tea, we are so glad to have found you! you'll be seeing us weekly!

The breading was so heavy that you had to pick it off to find the shrimp which were then drastically overcooked.
