    I read the reviews and was a little worried. But I had a truly great dining experience when I visited Pho Michael. I was later than expected getting to New Orleans so I was hungry. Once I got settled in, I looked at Yelp for a recommendation to eat. I was near so many great places to dine but Pho Michael won, despite the negative reviews. I was greeted warmly when I entered and allowed to pick where I sat. The feel inside was interesting, as Michael Jackson was playing but the decor reminded me of an Asian restaurant. It was clean though. I ordered a sweet tea which they add a sweetener when you order it. I won't get this again. I ordered the spring rolls with shrimp, which many reviews called them small. These rolls were so big they could almost serve as an entree. They tasted so fresh and the peanut sauce accompanied them well. For my main dish, I ordered the pho with filet mignon. It's one of their popular dishes so I figured it would be okay. When they placed a steaming hot bowl of pho in front of me, I knew I had a made a solid decision. I added a tad of hoisin sauce along with the sprouts, basil and jalapeños. The beef broth was sooooooo good as well. Only regret I had was a smaller portion wasn't offered. I ordered the smallest size available but it was so much. I tried to eat it all but couldn't lol. Service was top notch, as my server and another gentleman checked on me but didn't hover. This is a place I would visit again no matter where in New Orleans I stay.

    May be an unpopular opinion, but I wasn't impressed by this pho place. The interior of the restaurant itself was nicely decorated and very clean; service was good. The pho portion was small, and there wasn't much meat. I was hoping for more than a couple slices of filet mignon and a couple small tendon pieces for the price point ($16). The flavor of the broth was great, and the noodles had a good texture. If you're in desperate need of a pho place, I'd say this place fits the bill, but doesn't exceed any expectations.

    Pho Michael's

    Not sure who needs to hear this but I was really upset with the food I picked up last night at Pho Michael's. I ordered a large Shrimp Pho to share with my wife for dinner. When I arrived home I started unpacking everything and realized the plastic pho container was only 3/4's full. I ordered a large and paid extra only to find out that we had been shorted pho. Then after starting to prepare pho for each of us I looked for the basil, jalapeño, bean sprouts ect. it was not there. I called to see if it maybe didn't come with the Shrimp Pho but was told that they forgot to include it with my order. To make things even worse I only got one packet of hosin sauce and one packet of Sriracha sauce. I've ordered from Pho Michael's many times before and have never had a bad experience until last night. I guess it was just an off night for your staff.

    C7. BBQ Short Ribs with fried rice
    Loriyon J.

    Would haven't given it about a 4.5 star rating if we didn't feel rushed out. Food was pretty good I had the brisket pho I felt as if the broth could have had a bit more flavor but those WINGS were amazing presentation was nice we all agreed that the sauce that came drizzled on the wings could have been a dipping sauce or more drizzle. We also ordered the crab Rangoon but that was forgotten so we just decided to not worry about getting it any more. I would say the bbq short ribs with the fried rice were really really good If I were to go back I would probably get that. We also tried a couple of the teas (mango and green apple with the tapioca balls) tea was refreshing for sure. Over all the food was good

    P1. Pho Combination with substituted Spicy Beef Broth and added Bone Marrow on side
    Anthony N.

    Pho Michael is one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in NOLA. I always recommend this place to others because of its central location to everything, it's in the heart of Metairie with its own parking lot. The menu is large with good options and a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. I love to order their beef spring rolls, pho dac biet, and bun bo hue. What sets them apart is the choice to add a side of bone marrow to your bowl, which adds more umami and flavor to your bowl. Overall, a great place to grab vietnamese food especially after a wild night out with plenty of alcohol involved. Check them out!

    The P6. Pho with Brisket. The best Vietnamese food I've tried: I highly recommend it.

    Servers are so nice. The ambience is so great and the food the best. It looks so nice and clean. Smelling good always

    A pho place I tried out because the other place I often go to was closed. The decor is nice and parking is easy. They have a dedicated lot. The portions are okay for the price and the amount of meat you get is probably standard. There's nothing too special about it - the soup was good, the noodles were a bit undercooked that never got cooked after coming out because the soup wasn't too hot. The staff are nice and friendly. There's really nothing bad to say about the place but nothing really stood out to me either.

    Lemongrass tofu rice plate.
    Ellery D.

    I've been on a vietnamese kick lately and I didn't feel like cooking on Christmas eve so I went ahead and ordered delivery. This was one of the only places open, all the way in Metairie, but luckily uber eats didn't mind delivering to Uptown. I got the lemongrass tofu rice plate. It was tasty, but I admit I couldn't really taste the lemongrass. Just tasted like regular wok fried tofu. What I really loved was the sauce that came with it. I saved some and used it in salad for a couple days afterward. So fresh and tangy. And they also included extra hoisin like I asked. The price was decent for a rice plate--only $10. Of course it ended up being more because delivery, so I guess takeout is the way to go.

    Pho is really good here. The bun bo hue wasn't that great. They had bone marrow and onion in vinegar sauce here. We came here around 12pm and was seated right away. It wasn't that busy. Food took a while to get here though. Service was ok. Indoor dining only.

    Banh Xeo
    Khoi N.

    By far the best Bun Bo Hue that I have had in New Orleans. We were missing some of my mom's Vietnamese cooking and decided to stop by and try Pho Michael. We ordered the Banh Xeo for our appetizer. The Banh Xeo was crispy, crunchy and generously filled with meat and shrimp! The flavor was not overly coconut, but they could have sliced the meat down a little bit as it was large pieces. Then we had the BBQ Short ribs and Bun Bo Hue. The short ribs had amazing flavor and were cooked perfectly. This would be the reason to visit here until we tried the Bun Bo Hue. The BBH had a spicy broth with tender strips of meat. The meat could also be sliced down to have more with each bite, but this BBH is so very close to my mom's. This was our best Vietnamese experience and we definitely will come back to try their other options!

    Just moved to Louisiana. It's very hard for me to find authentic Vietnamese food that isn't too Americanized to where the flavors are lacking. This place was amazing! It's very rare that I don't have to add too much seasoning to the broth. 10/10 recommend.

    Mallory E.

    Got some pho to go today and was very disappointed that I was given one bag of spouts and basil for three things of pho. I was told that was for all three dishes. So then I had to purchase two more bags of sprouts/basil because the pho's were going to different houses

I apologize for the mess and thank you for taking care of us!!! I noticed the staff worked together as a team to take care of its patrons. We ordered the banh xeo- it was very crispy and full of fillings (bean sprouts, onions, pork, shrimp). The banh xeo itself had a noticeable sweet coconut taste which complemented the savory filings. The bun bo hue had a good spicy lemongrass flavor and the meats were tender and juicy. The lemongrass tofu vermicelli was also good! Meal portions were generous and we enjoyed all the food. Nudo is definitely worthy to be added to your list of lunch/dinner rotations. We had a great dining experience there and hope you do too!

Everyone who has tried the pate chaud absolutely LOVESSSS them!!! Take one bite and you'll be hooked for life! And while since you're already here, be sure to grab some deliciously potent Vietnamese iced coffee (cafe sua da) to energize your day. Their Vietnamese sandwiches are legit as well for a quick meal on the go. Have a sweet tooth? Their display is full of the most beautifully crafted and yummy pastries/sweets/etc - pick your guilty pleasure! I like to order their cakes for special occasions. Crowd faves are the fruit chantilly cake or the pandan cake- the cakes are light, airy, and not overly sweet. The Chez Pierre staff are always welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable about all their menu items. I've only had positive experiences and I know you will love them too! This is your reminder to hurry over for the pate chaud- I promise you will thank me later :)

I was shocked to learn of drinks made with kidney beans was on the menu. The kidney beans are said to be sweet. I promised to try it, as it's quite hard to fathom kidney beans would be sweet. That will be my drink of choice next time. But this time, I tried a more fruity drink and It was quite pleasing to me. There was ice cream at the very top and the cashier suggested that I hurry and eat that before it melted I did what she said, and I had two treats in one drink. The ice cream and then the gummy's at the very bottom. It was like eating gummy bears or gummy worms with a dessert drink. Every mouthful was chewy and flavorful. To be noted, there are non-dairy options as well. Don't get scared. So many items to choose from, dessert drinks & banh-mi sandwiches, mango this, kidney beans that... with so many items on the menu that just means I have to return and try more of the concoctions. Shared parking lot. But it doesn't look like most people come and stay alone while. Although there are tables inside where you can sit and maybe do some computer work or read a book the average Joe picks up their drink and goes their way.

The restaurant sets off cute date or special event night vibes with its trendy, inviting atmosphere. I love how the bar and main dining area are separated- you can either dine at the tables or go next door to hang out for drinks. We stopped by for a late lunch and were greeted warmly by our sweet waitress Mikayla. She was very helpful and patient with any questions we had with items on the menu. Service was stellar A+++ !!! Now onto the incredible FOOD: Bo Ne - filet mignon steak cubes & eggs (10/10): When an entree comes out sizzling & the aroma wakes you up- you know it has to be AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL & FANTASTIC! Spread the butter & pate on the toasted bread, then use it to soak up all the INCREDIBLE flavor explosion from the sizzling steak & eggs!!! *VOILA chef's kiss* (side note: I grew up in Houston & had Bo Ne fairly regularly & I honestly think Ba Chi elevates this dish to another realm!!!) Curry clams & fries (10/10): I was worried I wouldn't like it because I wanted mussels, which were unavailable. To my surprise, this dish was another great hit !!! The yellow curry flavors were unique - a bit of heat & spice but not overwhelming. Next time, I would ask for the fries to be served on the side so that they stay crispy! We really wanted to slurp down a gallon of the curry- it really was THAT good! Pro tip: get a side of vermicelli noodles (or rice), mix it with the leftover curry & proceed to gobble it all up if you have room left in your tummy! Spicy lemongrass chicken wings (8/10): These were good-sized wings that packed a little punch with the spice! We enjoyed the spicy lemongrass flavor of the crispy wings (be aware that not everyone has a palate for lemongrass- they have other flavors available for those less adventurous eaters). DRINK: Dragon Slay-Her: what a gorgeous & beautiful drink - the dragon fruit margarita was a specialty cocktail I've never had before and I LOVED IT !!! (10/10) Their espresso martini with ube foam is another popular cocktail & I look forward to trying it on my next visit! TL; DR: If you're wanting to FIRE UP and add some PIZAZZ & all that jazz to your fabulous foodie life, then make lunch/dinner/drink plans for Ba Chi! You'll have the best dining experience there with quality food and top notch service! We LOVEDDD & enjoyed our dining experience today!
