    I came here because I saw a Burmese pork and hot sausage sandwich on tik tok that looked amazing. I came here to try it and I did not disappoint. It was so good!! Sinfully good. They also have a pho with similar ingredients that was really good. It doesn't taste like any other pho I've tried. I'll be back for more.

    Traditional Chicken Pho
    Aaron Z.

    Are you supposed to say "mow-fow" like mofo, or "muh-fuh" like the soup? Or "mow-fuh" like give me mo' soup? I don't know. This place is famous as a Michael Gulotta joint, but honestly the idea of a white guy doing an Asian fusion restaurant makes me wary of the food. Thankfully, my prejudices were wrong and this place is really good. The interior is hip, but still unpretentiously warm and Southeast Asian-feeling. Our server was attentive and welcoming, too. Crispy Fried Chicken Wings with Nuoc Mam Caramel: It's worth the buzz. Rice flour gives these meaty wings their unsinkable crunch despite the fact that they're set on a pool of gooey sauce. The seasoning and fish sauce base work really well and set them apart in a city that mofo'ing *knows* chicken wings. Traditional Chicken Pho: Had to try something basic with no added bells or whistles. While not the best I've had, it's good with a nice mix of textures. The soup part is tasty, but I was hoping for a little more punch/layers in the flavors. Black Eyed Pea Curry Bowl: This place does not half-ass the veggie and vegan dishes which is awesome. Great dish with strong flavors in the peas. It's also just a beautiful mix of ingredients which should satisfy diners of any dietary persuasion. Dragon Lady Cocktail: The jalapeno and lemongrass syrup piqued my interest. Overall a nice drink with great presentation, though it's a bit sweet and light-ish on alcohol. That could all be good or bad depending on you. I liked their take on all of these dishes and would be glad to try out the rest of the menu!

    Thai Yellow Curry with Roasted Eggplant Shrimp and grits
    Victoria P.

    This restaurant is really close to my house so I can't believe my first time going was yesterday. I started off with the Thai tea boba with rum and the queso appetizer. Both were really good but I'd prefer more roti and no cracklins or shrimp chips. For the entree I got the yellow curry with chicken and it was virtually flavorless. I kept trying to add salt and pepper but it just didn't do the trick. I could tell it had potential though but it was just something missing. My friend got the sesame cucumbers for her appetizer which were really fresh and light. She also got the shrimp and grits and it's definitely an acquired flavor so I can't really describe it but I wasn't a fan

    Can't say enough good things about MoPho - an excellent example of fusing Southern and Asian food styles to create something unique and delicious. The table tried several dishes, and all were excellent: the Hangover Pho ($17), Shrimp and Grits ($21), Crispy Chicken Vindaloo Sandwich ($17), and the Glazed Pork Belly Bowl ($16). You will be most happy with any of these. We also tried two buns, the Creole Tomato Bun ($10) and the Brisket Buns ($11). Delicious, and the Brisket was amazing. Service was friendly, attentive and fast (Thank You, Dorothy, Great Job!). The restaurant was clean, modern, casual and comfortable, with indoor and outdoor / patio seating. Restrooms were clean and stocked. Overall, A greafun and relaxing Dining Experience. Five well-deserved Stars.

    Fried Crispy Green Beans
    Kaitlyn W.

    Crispy Chicken Wings: 9/10; battered in rice flour, crispy fried and tossed in Nuoc Mam Caramel glaze. Miraculously, these wings retained their crunch even with the savory sweet glaze on top. Glazed Pork Belly Bowl: 7.5/10; glazed pork belly, Burmese curried shoulder, spiced peanut cracklin' served over chilled vermicelli noodles with herbs, jalapeños, pickled vegetables, cucumbers, and crushed peanuts. Fried crispy green beans: 9/10; The mayo-based sauce these are doused in was insanely good. - Although MOPHO is more of a fusion spot, I thought that all the dishes were really well thought out with a good mix of textures and flavors. The menu changes quite frequently (which seems to be a recurring theme in NOLA restaurants) so there's always new things to try

    I enjoy going to MoPho every once in a while. They have really good daily specials. I always stop by during lunch, everyone working there is pretty friendly, and the food comes out in a timely manner. The food options are good. This time, I tried the Korean BBQ Beef rice bowl, it tasted pretty good. There was a nice balance between the greens and the beef and the rice, but more protein in this bowl would have made it better.

    Beef Pho
    Monica J.

    Went on a lunch date, we were seated quickly, and placed our order not long after. I was feeling a bit under the weather and it was cold out so I wanted soup. I the empty plate was the crispy chicken bites which was good, however they seemed a bit too done and slightly burnt, unless the grease they were fried in was old. The pho was good though it has its own twist and not a traditional pho. If you want traditional pho, this isn't the place. Overall we had a great experience and they have a pretty good menu.

    Beef Pho
    Essence B.

    The food was so delicious and flavorful! I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh ingredients of all the flavors combined. I enjoyed the fresh Beef Pho with all the trimmings - Smokey brisket was a nice touch. Staff was very attentive and took good care us. They made sure we had what we needed and shared the fav /best meal options on the menu. So much to choose from and I will be back for sure to try a few more. The restaurant gave a chill casual vibe and I like the bar area for a future outing. Menu items: Beef Pho Noodle Curry Bowl

    my favorite thing at MOPHO: wings
    Jaime F.

    Not a big fan of the pho here. Maybe it's because I'm from the West Coast, but I could not indulge well with the fusion pho. However, I did like the wings, which were crispy and packed flavor. The service is great and it is nicely decorated restaurant. There are just a lot of Vietnamese pho places around, so I don't think I'd come back.

    My first experience ordering from here was so great, but I ordered for a second time and it was terrible. I ordered the exact same items. The appetizers were so tiny and completely cold. The vegetarian pho broth had spilled all through the bag and it was completely ruined. Beware of their delivery, I say.

    We stopped here after visiting City Park and the Hurricane Katrina Monument. Wow, what a fabulous place! We got the spicy sesame cucumbers to start(one of our favorite appetitizers) and chased it with a Korean BBQ beef bowl some great layers of flavor in this and the Crispy Chicken Vindaloo sandwich(not Tennessee Hot, but fairly warm) this was super tasty, but a little bit messy to eat so be prepared. Our drinks were the Dragon Lady and the Mom 'N Em, both were quite tasty and a lovely mix of flavors accompanying our meals nicely.

    Oyster bowl
    Kitty A.

    Was in the area and decided to try this restaurant with a friend. The restaurant was clean on the outside, which was good. The inside is a nice quaint spot, a decent size, and the atmosphere was inviting. There was no wait. We were seated quickly. It also has outdoor seating. The server, her name is Carol, was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. She allowed us to try the Jasmine tea after we asked about a flavor tea or lemonade. She was able to explain the menu and was very patient with us because we had several questions. The food - we ordered the cabbage kimchi (I think that's what it's called), my first time having it, and it was pretty good. I also ordered the oyster bowl with the noodles. It was really tasty, had a sweetness to it, and the oysters were fried just right. I could definitely eat that again. My friend had the chicken bowl, she was pleased. The jasmine tea wasn't bad, but the jasmine was an after taste and not an initial taste so it wasn't for me. But hey, someone else might enjoy it! The restroom-the restroom is small, it has 2 stalls, but it was clean. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Chicken pho
    Fabiola R.

    This is a great place to checkout if you're looking for a tasty pho restaurant. This was my first time visiting and the food and service was amazing! I usually order veggie or beef when ordering pho and I fell in love with the chicken pho at Mopho! The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and has a semi formal yet causal vibe. They have a wide variety of meals on their menu and their bar has an endless amount of mixed drinks and wines! The cucumbers were also new for me, and a great appetizer to try!

    Follow Tea is a bubble tea place my friend and I went to in Metairie, LA. It is spacious inside…read morewith a clean, modern design. One thing that sets Follow Tea apart from other bubble tea places I've been to previously, is that they offer cheese as the foamy part of your tea. They also offer a variety of fruit and milk teas. I was intrigued by the cheese, so I got the Lychee Rose Cheese Tea. This is made using cream cheese, the same type of cheese that cheesecake is made of. This is actually traditionally a Taiwanese method of making bubble tea. My friend got the Passionfruit Tea without the cheese. My Lychee Rose Cheese Tea arrived beautifully presented. The cup was made of sturdy, frosted plastic. On top there were some dried roses. This was so tasty! I loved the flavor, it was subtly sweet, and the cheese provided a slight savory balance. The tiny pieces of lychee were an added chewy bonus. My friend also enjoyed her Passionfruit tea. I wish we had some bubble tea places that offered the cheese foam, here in Connecticut, maybe I'll have to look a bit harder. We had a lovely time at Follow Tea, and enjoyed their tasty products.

    Happened upon this place while in the area. It's pretty cute with a minimalist feel on the inside…read more I like to true something I've never had whenever I go to new spots so I opted for a crème brûlée boba milk tea. It's different but good. Has a custard in it so they kind of throws me off but I would order again. The cashier was really helpful.
