This was a random dinner for us in NOLA. We were originally supposed to go to Antoine's but given the cold weather and the fact that we were lethargic after some day drinking, we opted for pho and found this location in the Garden District. It's a no-frills operation and the food is a solid four stars. No fireworks here, but if it's a decent bowl of pho you're looking for, then you will find it here. FYI there is no booze. We started with a few fried pork rolls that were The Usual but fine. One of us got the beef broth with veggies, and she appreciated that there was some bok choy and mushrooms thrown in there in addition to the typical carrots and broccoli. The broth is definitely flavorful. The rare steak pho was thinly sliced and seemed OK, and our daughter was happy with her wonton pho. Service is speedy albeit not necessarily warm. But the soup is hot, and on a cold day, nothing really beats that. Four satisfied stars. read more

I am by no means a pho snob but this place, with it's high reviews on Yelp was mediocre as best. The pho broth was bland (the sauce is supposed to be the boss) along with the egg and spring rolls that we got. I saw my wife curl in revulsion when they brought out the bean sprouts and other garnishes which were wilted and not fresh. I don't know, maybe the next place we try will be better.... read more

I was glad to find some non-fried dinner options here! I stopped by after a workout, starving but looking for something with a good balance of protein and carbs. I ordered the egg noodle soup (pho like) and it definitely hit the spot. It came with a generous portion of noodles, plus a whole egg, two large shrimp, and pork, which made it feel really satisfying. Overall, it was a great post-workout meal--filling without being too heavy, and exactly what I needed after being on my feet for a while. Good service-really fast. The music was not too loud and lots of seating. read more

This place was great. I went in 30 minutes before closing fully expecting it to not serve me due to it being so late, but they served AND sat me down. The food was great and piping hot, like they made it to order. Everything was delicious and I was not rushed to leave at all. I fully reccomend this place. They're attentive and have a good amount of seating as well, perfect for large party needs. read more

Last night in Nola, my daughter had had enough fried foods and was craving her fave - pho. So I found this little place on Magazine St. It was quite busy. We ordered to go and ate in our hotel. I got beef pho, ship spring rolls, fried egg rolls and pork vermicelli. My daughter enjoyed her pho and spring rolls. The egg rolls were flavorful but wish they didn't have noodles in them as a filler. The vermicelli was fine but could've used more meat and was lacking veggies and pickles I normally get in vermicelli bowls. read more

This was our first time at the particular restaurant and since we were in New Orleans, we weren't too sure what we would get with an authentic Vietnamese place, but since New Orleans is a melting pot of cultures, we were rather surprised at how tasty everything was!! The service was rather quick since it was a table of seven and I really liked the updated Victorian style house that was converted into a restaurant. I would love to hear the history!! My vegetarian Pho was delicious with a vegetarian broth that did not have any MSG/mono soda glutamate.I am Hapa and horribly allergic to MSG!! So it's really hard for me to find places to eat! My only complaint about the food was that the avocado spring roll did not have any avocado in it! Perhaps they forgot to put it in and I didn't want to complain since I was already full and I had fun on the way. The restrooms were adequate, but there was no hot water, so I worry about the employees washing their hands properly or if there was hot water perhaps in the back for ashing and just not in the restrooms? Regardless, the food tasted delicious so I wouldn't mind going back. read more

This review is based on take out. I called ahead and ordered 4 pho (1 combo, 1 meatball, 1 rare steak with meatball, and 1 filet mignon). We also ordered egg rolls. I am used to the egg rolls (or fried spring rolls) being served with lettuce, cucumber, and rice noodles so you can wrap the fried roll inside, but I don't think they serve it like that here - still, the roll itself was delicious. Their spring roll nuoc mam fish sauce is really good - lots of lime juice. The combination pho was so good! Lots of little gelatinous pieces of tendon, rare steak, brisket and meatballs! The broth is flavorful and has a nice deep flavor. And of course they give you a large bag of sprouts, jalapenos, and Thai basil. All of my friends loved the pho here and we will definitely order again! Plus it's right across the street from my hair salon I go to so next time I'll dine in. read more

I love Pho Tran. The food is great and the service is okay - they get the job done just not particularly friendly. Ambience is fine, super casual and clean. The problem is they are closed for the next month or so. I don't have the dates, except that they will reopen in May sometime. Just maybe call before you go. read more

Absolute gem of a Vietnamese spot. Their pho is some of the best in town and you cannot beat the prices. The broth is always packed full of flavor and they never skimp on the fixings. The staff is always kind and on their A game. They remember their locals, our names and our orders. I highly suggest this place. read more

Vietnamese is my favorite cuisine, and I try to eat it everywhere I go, from where I live in California to wherever I went on my last trip to Vietnam. The standouts here are the pho dac biet, grilled pork bao, and the egg rolls. The pho broth was complex, the grilled pork marinade was fantastic and the meat had a nice bit of char, and the eggrolls were hot and crispy (and featured taro). We also ordered a shrimp and avocado salad, but it was made with iceberg lettuce (not lotus root or papaya) and seemed the weakest of all the dishes. Still, if you pour nuoc cham on anything, I will eat it. Definitely returning for a chance to try some other dishes and get my Vietnamese fix next time I'm in town. read more

i'm a regular. i've tried other pho places, but this place is consistent with their phos and fast with their service. lots of meat. the broth is hearty and decently complex. because my brother and i are regulars, the waiters call my brother their "brother." funny enough they don't call me their sister...lol. but i still feel like family here. overall, casual chill place to just delicious noodle soup and leave. you can make alterations to the "everything" combo as well. it's cheap too. i can easily take a pho soup to go for a second meal. read more

Had the chicken pho at Pho Tran and really enjoyed it. The broth was light but full of flavor, and the chicken was super tender. You can tell everything is fresh--from the herbs to the noodles. The jalapeños gave it just the right kick, and the side plate of sprouts, lime, and basil let me tweak it exactly how I like it. One of the best parts about coming here is the staff--they're absolutely wonderful. They always remember us, greet us with a smile, and make us feel genuinely welcome every time we visit. It's that kind of warm, personal service that keeps us coming back. The vibe is relaxed, the iced tea is refreshing, and if you're in the area craving a solid bowl of comforting pho, Pho Tran should be on your list. read more

The Pho was really good! I ordered the Pho Tran Combination (Pho Dac Biet) for $16.99. Food portions were enough to fit the price range. The broth also tasted really fresh and hot. The inside was really nice and clean. Great location on Magazine Street. Service was really friendly as well. I would come back if I'm in the uptown area and craving Pho at the same time. read more

Everything is delicious and freshly made with some of the best chili oil waiting on the table for you to add to your dish.

I created a Yelp account just to leave a review. I've had a ton of Pho Ga all over the country but this is hands down the best I've ever had, generous portion of the chicken - also super tender. But the broth?! The broth, was pure delicious. How they impart that much flavour into a chicken pho I want to know the secret of. I'd happily buy a couple gallons and take it him to Boston. Service was quick and friendly as well, but with a broth like that, it didn't even register. read more

This was a little pho spot that has about 15 tables. The food was excellent, had shrimp spring rolls, beef pho and beef and meatball pho. It was tasty and hot. The service was great as the place was packed. There were several items I would try if I came back. The pho really was excellent. read more

Have been travel around the US for the last couple months and always find a good pho spot every time I visit any city i stopped by. So far Pho Tran is amazing and authentic to me, there bread is perfection, crispy and flavorful with the touch of pickle and fresh cucumber. Their coffee is Freaking strong so be prepare for that if you want something to wake up your day (like you drink 4 expresso shot) The egg rolls is fine not a big fan of fried dish (just my preference) . The two entree, Pho and Grilled Pork Chop with steam rice. Let me tell ya, the pho is super goooood, i have been so many pho places from west coast to down south but so far this is one of my top 3 places to eat for pho. Their Pork chop is 10/10 amazing work staff. This place price is very right within the tourist location town Garden District, will recommend everyone this dish but with extra side of rice since the pork chop is so good. Their service is on top, also place putside seating for customers, what else do you need , very nice place to stop by is you visit NOVA and want some authentic vietnamese foods. Love this place Jesse Truong read more

The Vietnamese coffee was rich and perfectly balanced, setting a great tone for our meal. We tried the seafood noodle soup and shrimp, both seafood-packed dishes that were fantastic. Service was friendly, and the location was spot on. Only critique is that protein portions were a bit on the lighter side. However, definitely a great Vietnamese spot to check out! read more

Quick and very friendly service. Inside is very charming and spacious. Visiting from out of town and found this highly rated pho restaurant gem thanks to Yelp. I eat pho once a week back home and this is one of the best I've ever had. Broth is clean, seasoned well and not salty. Ribeye meat is so thinly sliced, fresh, and tender. Just soooooooo pholiciously good. Most highly recommend!!!! read more

I passed by this little spot on Magazine and decided I needed to give it a try. The interior is pretty unassuming. Clean. Neat. Not too flashy. The staff were pleasant and the smells from the kitchen were quite inviting. I took my order to go. The pho DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The rare brisket pho was extremely well prepared. The broth was full of flavor and they did not skimp on toppings. I enjoyed every bite. This is definitely some of the best pho I have had out of the many places I have tried it around America. This has now become my "go to" pho spot. Not to be missed. read more

There is no shortage of Pho restaurants in the SF Bay Area and I am known to indulge often. Usually most Pho restaurants are consistently similar to one another, but during my travels to New Orleans I found something special. This little restaurant not only has kind staff but it has the best Pho I have ever tasted. I say this because in every other case I was compelled to add hoisin sauce and sriracha to the broth and maybe some fish sauce to get it to my liking. This time was different. I tasted the broth and was instantly addicted to the rich taste, perfect flavor, and just the right saltiness. This is the first time in nearly 30 years of eating Pho that I did not add condiments to flavor my broth. I dumped the fresh vegetables into my bowl and went to town. This is the best Pho noodle soup I have ever tasted in my life. Nothing in San Jose little Saigon or anywhere else has come close to this. Wow! read more

Visiting from LA, there's a moment when asian food is mandatory during a trip away. Found Pho Tran by chance, and even my lyft driver vouched for the food on my way here. I'm glad to say I found a staple location for pho in NOLA and the price is reasonable while portions are filling. Would recommend to anyone that's looking for a quick fix on delicious Vietnamese food. read more

I've been to this place a few times. It's hard to find restaurants that have that home cooked meal taste while also being affordable. This place is both! They have a good selection of food, including vegetarian options. The service is always fast, and the servers consistently are kind and thoughtful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to trying Viet food. read more

Decent food, not a lot of additions you can add (like spinach or egg) and the Thai tea was not good. Lacked richness. The service was not good, not only were they taking forever to serve our table but one guy had an ugly attitude. Won't be going back. read more

Pho Tran never disappoints. The service is top notch and the ambiance is chill yet welcoming and friendly! I always get their shrimp spring rolls with the peanut sauce and the combination pho. And their pickled salty lemonade is perfect for the summer. Highly recommend. read more

Dropped in here starving after some parades and grabbed a banh mi and some spring rolls to go. I did end up waiting quite a while, but the food was very good when it came out. I appreciate that they're generous with the tofu. Some hefty slabs, for sure. And the bread was great. Overall, it was a large filling sandwich. My only criticism would be that I could do with a bit more spread... butter... sauce? Idk what type of dressing they normally put on banh mi but it didn't seem to have any. Sometimes, because I order tofu, cooks assume I'm vegan (I'm not), and leave off the butter ir mayonnaise so perhaps that's what happened. The spring rolls were epic, and a meal unto themselves. Delicious peanut sauce. Everything fresh and tasty. read more

Amazing pho, great location, and really nice staff! Will definitely come again! Try the meatball pho. :)

THIS PHO BROTH IS SO SOOTHING, piping hot, and flavorful. Not too oily which I love. The grilled pork summer roll is so refreshing, and the grilled pork seasoning is amazing. Perfect texture and juicy pork. I also really enjoyed the jalapeños they give us. Viet ice coffee is not overly sweet and is authentic. Service was slow, but didnt mind bc the food didn't disappoint one bit. Bathroom is spacious and has a table to put your stuff, soap ran out so it was watery pump. read more

Don't be fooled by the lack of decor. The Vietnamese food is great. We shared Grilled Pork Steamed Flour Bun (appetizer, but enough for one as a main) and we both had Pho. Mine was the Beef meatball Pho. They flavor was wonderful but the meatballs are lacking flavor, likely typical for this item. Great neighborhood for shopping for cool clothing. read more
