Best pho broth hands down. No MSG added which takes the restaurant hours longer to prepare. There are red onions in the broth which adds a nice twist. Also the crispy egg rolls are a must. The bun tacos are delish when they have enough of whatever creamy sauce is on there. Overall, 5 stars. And the Owner is a sweetheart. One of my friends loves the mango bubble tea. read more

I have to honestly say, the first time that I have ever eaten here I truly was not impressed. Broth tasted bland, fish sauce tasted bland, everything was overall mediocre. I figured that since it was the grand opening that there were going to to be some hiccups. So my girlfriend and I waited a full month after grand opening to finally come back in and give pho Michael a try. We were so glad we did. Everything was absolutely amazing. The service has gotten so much better. The quality and portions increase drastically ! The pho broth was honestly the best I have tasted in all of New Orleans, I'm sad to say that it even tasted better than the pho my parents make. My girlfriend usually gets the bun bo hue. The broth on that was amazing as well. We always order the crab rangoons as well as the bacos on occasion. We have been going back to pho Michael at least once a week since our second trip and it has been our go to for Vietnamese food. If you haven't been back to pho Michael since grand opening, I urge you to come back and give it a try. We are truly happy that we gave them another chance. read more

Good food. Great service. Cool and sexy environment, prefect for lunch, date night or family night. Beautiful bar. Awesome owner who dedicated restaurant to her late son. May he rest in peace. I'm a repeat customer I at least once a week. Love their food. 10stars. read more

This restaurant is amazing. First off, the facility is spotless, artfully decorated, and has the perfect atmosphere for a family dinner, quick lunch with friends, or a date. The bathroom is uniquely decorated (secret-agent style), spotless, and fancy-hotel quality. The hostess and owner could not be any friendlier, and her good taste in staff showed quickly as our waiter was attentive, polite, funny, and helpful. Now to the food. We got the chicken pho and a regular (only $9 I believe) was big, soulful, and extremely flavorful. The garnish was very fresh and yummy, and the broth and chicken were first-rate. Both the iced coffee w/condensed milk and Jasmine tea are flavorful and delicious, and the banh mi sandwich I got (w/pork!) was the best that I have ever had. Pho Michael has it all, from food to friendly staff to a beautiful facility, and you will be doing yourself a favor by trying it out! read more

Great pho !!! Way better than pho orchid! They offer such a good selection of great quality food. And NO MSG! read more

Pho Michael - Yummy smoothie made by Shane their best waiter! - Vietnamese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

this is by far the best Vietnamese restaurant in town! food is fantastic, as well as the staff and decor.

Great Pho and a very clean place. Service was great with some cold beer and apps followed with Pho. Easy to get to and parking was easy...this is near Dragos so sometimes they have overflow into all the parking lots. read more

This is a great spot if you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine and great service! The staff is very helpful and friendly. I've been to a lot of Vietnamese restuarant but none compare to Pho Michael! read more

My brother and I were craving some pho and spring rolls badly on a rainy Sunday. All our usual spots (that aren't even that great) were closed and we probably spent 45 minutes searching for a Vietnamese place that was open nearby. I stumbled upon Pho Michael and was instantly sold, and so surprised I had never heard of it before being that we live in Old Metairie! We came in and I will admit they forgot to put in our order. We were waiting for a long time until we asked and they instantly addressed the mistake and were so apologetic. They brought us some crab meat and cream cheese rangoons on the house and I'm so thankful for the mishap because we got to try something we probably wouldn't have ordered otherwise and they were so unbelievably delicious. Our order that very quickly followed - chicken bao buns, filet mignon pho, shrimp and tofu spring rolls - completely blew our minds. I am so happy to have found this place! It is a hidden gem and the staff is so sweet. I will definitely be a new regular. read more

A trip to Metaire would not be complete without a stopover at Pho Michael. They serve authentic and mouthwatering Vietnamese food. Their Spicy Beef Pho is the best! read more

My family and I came to NOLA, stayed in the Metairie area, were hungry for lunch and saw Vietnamese cuisine and were sold. Hands down the friendliest staff. Welcomed us and sat us quickly. Exceptional service and even more exceptional food! Can't wait to go back and try something different! Definitely a must! read more

This has one of the best pho in the city. The broth has amazing flavor and the meat is amazing. The prices is very cheap in comparison to how good the food is. The crab ragoon is good compared to other restaurants. Also, my server Thomas was really outgoing and nice. I got my food really quickly. Great customer service read more

I travel two states, Mississippi and Louisiana, and have now for over 18 years. Needless to say, I've eaten out at a lot of places over the years. When I got to Pho Michaels, I thought "here we go again, another typical noodle place". What I found was hardly typical!! Although I've only tried the Pho (#2) so far, I must say it is absolutely delicious!! Not only do they not use ANY MSG (which means a lot to me!!), but they cook the Pho down for 24 hours and they use filet instead of a cheaper cut of beef! If you love Pho as much as I do, you really are doing yourself and injustice if you don't give these guys a try. My waitress, Lindsey, was very polite, professional, attentive and charming. Qualities that can be very hard to come by sometimes these days. I highly recommend Pho Michaels and look very forward to the next time I'm back in town! read more

This restaurant was pretty awesome both times I went. The service was very warm and welcoming. And might I add timely. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was very delightful and friendly. We spoke for a few minutes, while I waited on my to go order. The shrimp pho is my favorite. So if you're looking for some really good pho and excellent service, I'd definitely suggest Pho Michael. Great food, great servers, and an awesome owner. read more

We park our car in their lot because we plan to eat lunch there. When we get off the car we found there's an open sale in the Mexican restaurant. So we just step there to take a look. The people there are very nice and enthusiastic to talk to us about their food so we bought some drinks and get back to our car 2 min later. Astonishingly, we found my car had been hooked to a towing vehicle. We had to spend $120 in order to get our car released. What a terrible experience!! Apparently the restaurant owner who was there called the towing service just because we left our car for 2 min to by a drink next door. What kind of people will do such a thing to others? They deserve a one star review because of their mean and stingy manner to customer. Plus their food is very unimpressive; especially the appetizers are very cheaply made. I suggest you don't go there if you don't want to ruin your peaceful mood in the weekend. read more

I'm not big on beef broth pho, but tonight I decided to give it another try... and it was literally the best spicy beef broth I've ever had! I got the number 16, with brisket, ham, and filet. It was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

i love this place! its so clean and the staff is very friendly and welcoming! and the food is AMAZING!!! try the grilled pork spring rolls...you wont regret it! read more

Great service and fast! Very clean inside and the pork, egg roll vermicelli was delicious! Would def go back for it.

Mediocre food and substandard service. Very rude waiter. Went 1 hour before closing with my 2 year old and service was pretty much nonexistent. Got seated and a lady did come by quick to take my order but I needed literally just one more minute. She didn't even offer to at least take my drink order. She seemed rushed and just ran off before I could say anything. I tried to call someone over to order to no avail. Finally after near 15 minutes a young Vietnamese guy came over to take my order. He waiter was very rushed in taking our order, and didn't ask if we wanted beverages. I almost forgot. No biggie on that. I ordered a pho and Vietnamese egg rolls. Food wasn't bad. Once the waiter brought our food over, we did not see him until the end of our meal when he dropped off the check. He didn't even ask how anything was and was just preoccupied with prepping for closing. Service was disappointing to say the least. I walked out planning to never return. Then I realized I forgot to leave the metal spoon in my togo drink (they served it like that) and was gonna walk back and return it after I got my daughter in her car seat. Just as I got her in the waiter comes running out yelling and accusing me of stealing the salt and pepper shakers. I explained that my daughter was playing with them so I put them on the other table. The owner was standing in front shaking his head at his waiter and told me he's sorry. I returned the spoon I accidentally took. I was so upset that I walked back in and confronted the waiter and let him know how rude he was. This is one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I'll never go back or recommend this restaurant to anyone. It just went from just ok to really bad really fast. I'll make the 13 min drive to pho Nola from now on. Pho Nola has excellent food and service every single time. read more

My first time trying "Bun BoHue" here. It is very delicious. I ordered a regular bowl but it was really big and a lot of meat. The soup is so good, no msg read more

I love coming to Pho Michael's! Excellent service and the staff is very friendly. Cant beat a great price so such amazing food! I highly recommend everything on the menu! read more

This is probably my favorite pho in the whole city. The broth has so much flavor and the ingredients are incredibly fresh. I get the beef tender pho about once a week. Do yourself a favor and try it!! read more

Pho Michael is my go-to for Vietnamese in Metairie. The pho tastes rich, yet light and the noodles are just right. I enjoy the vermicelli and rice dishes for lunch. Pho Michael is the only choice when it comes to health and always impresses me with service and taste read more

The egg rolls were awesome, could've ordered 3 orders of those as my meal. The pho was on point with amazing flavor, everything is MSG-free/real flavor! The owner came and introduced herself, she was the sweetest most stunningly beautiful woman! Go check this place out! read more

Was greeted by the owner Lindsey who graciously seated me. Server Hui brought me my menu. Warm smiles fast service and good food. Always a pleasure when I dine here. Warm greeting friendly atmosphere. And tv's for you sports fans. Parking in front and neighborhood is good. Not far from the mall after shopping. Enjoyed myself immensely. Thanks Lindsey and Hui see you next time. read more

It is in a good location with a great atmosphere and the food is delicious and very affordable. The courtesy and hospitality is second to none and great place to have lunch and dinner. The hosting of various party's and christmas party's as well. read more

Great authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Probably the best one Ive ever had in all new Orleans

Ok. Here is a disclaimer. I use yelp all of the time, but I never write reviews. The last time I used it was to poorly self promote at a dive bar I used to bartend at, but I am now on a crusade. I have no connection to this restaurant except it is close to my lady's work (and my old bar.) I have eaten at this physical location for a few years. It has been a Pho restaurant before. It has now changed ownership. Magic has happened. The transformation is amazing. When people care about what they are doing, truly care, it shows. This place is now "yes" all across the board. The wait staff is charming. The restaurant is spotlessly kept (it wasn't always.) But the food is what is motivating this newfound yelp interest. The pho is impeccable. I have had pho so many times, in so many cities, and I think pho is so intrinsically complex, there is so much going on, that it is hard to do too poorly once you do it. But when it is balanced, when the ingredients are good (they report no MSG here), when it just all lines up it can become so much more than just pho. This has happened. What was I eating before? It is the same, but it is not. I had their pork bahn mi tonight for the first time too. Yes. Same thing. Bahn mi is bahn mi. It is a sandwich. How hard is that? What can go wrong besides bad baguette? This one is different. Same thing, but not. So well done. But here is the real proof in the proverbial pudding. My lady and I had the crab rangoon as an appetizer. Do not crucify me. Crucify her. I know this a Vietnamese restaurant. I know we should not order that China pandering to Americans thing here. But we did. It happened. Sweet baby jesus. I thought that was a thing that-you-never-really-liked-that-you-got-delivered-and-ate-and-hated-but-ate-anyways. Did it ever actually taste like crab? Wasn't it this rock hard shell of despair? Order it here. It shouldn't even have the same name. They aren't even supposed to make it. This place is way beyond Metairie (I love you for yourself though Metairie.) Now, to summarized my thesis statement after my three supporting paragraphs. If you actually care about your restaurant, or bar, or whatever, it will show. Even if you aren't doing a super hip foam deconstruction. You can just do the same old thing, but if you care and do it well, it will not be the same old thing. This place does just that. Oh, and it is really cheap. read more

I'm sitting in Pho Michael right now having a cafe sua da and working. It's pleasant. A great place to work during the middle of the day. I've eaten here three times now - the pho is off the chain. It might taste a bit different to some people because it has no MSG. It's got a subtle refined taste, but with really complex flavors. This is a foodie's pho. The spring rolls are delicious and I don't know what they put in that sauce but I want a gallon of it. I just saw someone eat the spare ribs - I wish he had gone to restroom or something because I would have stolen them off his plate. I might have to order some to go. The staff are really nice. The owners are the best - they're working really hard to make this a great place for the community. Full bar. Bubble tea. Big screen TVs if you want to watch the news or the game. Great interior and nice music. I really like it here. read more

What a great pho place tucked away beside the mall. Great prices, incredible food, excellent staff... I recommend this place to everyone I know in Metairie and Nola. read more

By far the best grilled beef and rice in the city. I eat here weekly and it is always fresh tasting. I highly recommend Pho Michael.

Best Vietnamese cuisine in the area! Fresh ingredients, great atmosphere, great service and most of all great food! I had the Pho with beef tender and brisket, pork and shrimp sping rolls and thensome... The Pho is the best I've had since being in Vietnam! I traveled to Vietnam 3 times and I'm very spoiled with Vietnamese cuisine. I have to say Pho Michael is genuinely the most authentic Vietnamese around. No MSG used in any of their dishes. One of their specialty apps Michael's Buns is awesome!! Steamed doughy buns stuffed with your choice of pork, beef, chicken or you can do shrimp for a small additional charge with fresh veggies then folded to perfection served with a semi sweet and spicy dipping sauce.. Highly recommend if you are looking for a taste of Vietnam!! Oh, and the iced coffee will definitely give you a kickstart. And finally can't forget their frozen smoothies with tapioca balls. Lots of flavors to choose from! read more

Best pho in town!!!!!! Come here monthly! Service is great and restaurant is very clean. Modern n atmosphere makes it a perfect date spot!

Pho Michael has some of the best employees working there and amazing chefs! The food was great! The pho was so favorable and the cream cheese Wonton was the best I've had!! I highly recommend this restaurant. The owner was friendly and checked on her customers. The atmosphere Was great! Check this place out! read more

Stopped here for brisket pho twice recently. My second trip there was less than a week after my first time going there and for good reason. The service is very quick and attentive plus the food is quite good and a very nice value. I can eat a lot of food but got careless the other day and forgot to get something for later yet the large serving of the P6 literally fed me well enough for my whole day. Definitely worth trying. read more

Definitely going back.we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Service was awesome and you have to try their Arnold Palmer it's delicious! read more

This is an awesome restaurant , the food is amazing , the service is impeccable and the ambiance is great. I have eaten there several times and the food is always fresh and delicious. The Banh Minh selection is great, the Pho is what you really want to eat here ! I want to try other things but the Pho is so good, I always go back for the Pho. I really like the dining room, the furniture they selected makes this place a cozy , modern and clean dining experience. Try it once and you'll want to come back for more. read more
