When I come home from traveling for work, this place is my immediate go-to. No matter where I've gone, they're easily the most consistent and delicious Vietnamese place. I'm easily spoiled by the Pho here, and the meats aren't matched anywhere else. Even before I became a regular, the service was more than hospitable and friendly. I never have to wait long, and the mood always feels right. My favorite part about this place and it's ambiance is that it's never too stuffy for you. It's a welcoming place with welcoming people. When I have friends or family visiting from out of state, it's always a must-go first even past the local cuisine that most tourists come for. read more

The brisket, rare beef pho was spectacular. Broth was on point. The meat was very tender and very tasty. The combination spring rolls were also very good as well. Although I'm not a fan of avocado in my spring roll. Quaint little restaurant, average service. read more

Delicious food! Try the beef vermicelli and egg rolls! Great location to walk around too

Hubby wanted Vietnamese food, so here we are! The service and food were wonderful. It's a full family business as we see most of the family members helping out. Thai Tea was delicious and not overly sweet, thank goodness! The spring rolls and the peanut sauce were perfect. It tastes exactly like how I would make it at home, which is a plus for me. I really enjoyed all of our appetizers. Everything tasted fresh and looks very appetizing. My daughter really liked the steamed buns. I thought it reminded me of a banh mi (it was so good!), and I wish I had more room in my tummy to finish all my food. The appetizers filled me up quite well, but I did my best with my Hu Tieu Mi. The noodles for the Hu Tieu Mi were very memorable and different from what I've had. These were much thinner, but the flavor it absorbed from the soup had me craving for more. My hubby and I tried everything that we ordered, and he loved my soup and thought the noodles were amazing. His Pho Dac Biet was really good as well. He said it hits the spot and was really glad he ordered it. We both enjoyed our delicious Vietnamese food and knew that New Orleans would not disappoint. Until next time! read more

Popped in here on a Friday night around 7. About 3-4 empty tables left. We ordered crab ragoons as an appetizer. Very tasty. I got the stir fry beef and the flavor was fantastic, I wish it had a bigger variety of veggies (bean sprouts or bok choy). My friend got the veggie pho and the broth was very flavorful and presentation was nice. There was only one guy working and he was being so attentive to every table. It felt like a true family run business. Definitely check this place out!! read more

Pho Tran has good Vietnamese food and I usually focus on the beef brisket or chicken pho or a banh mi. Sometimes I will sample some of the other items but generally I'm going for pho most of the time and the occasional banh mi and way less frequently one of the other dishes will get selected. Currently I think this is the best Vietnamese food to be found in the Lower Garden District and Uptown area. Overall I've enjoyed all my meals here and the service has been good but could be a bit faster with drink refills sometimes. read more

Ok talk about a good broth, this place is amazing the food is delicious and it came out pretty quick. So, let's talk about the 1 star that is missing for a 5 star. So when I came in I felt like the place is missing something maybe some decorations on the wall or maybe some plants, it is so empty that it echos in there so watch out what you say. Then the second missing star was that this baby cockroach that ran on the table and I try to get twice came around on top of our table I was able to knock it off to the floor but it got away. After this I just lost appetite, just eating the egg rolls made me gag, because of the crunch, lol. Now to the food, I give this place a 5 star on flavor and whole food aesthetics and all. There was nothing missing nothing was too salty or too sweet or very spicy just perfect. We ordered the brisket and thin steak and my fiancé got the steak only. We also got the pork belly bao that was amazing perfect just perfect crunch to gory and flavor profile. We also had the egg rolls. I want to come again and maybe rate it a little bigger but I do need this cockroach thing pass over for a few months. It just awed me. I thought it was just me but we both saw it. But the broth is amazing. I have some leftover broth I am about to eat with some meatballs cause it's so fire. read more

One of our favorite neighborhood spots. excellent food at a great price. One ding-- they use styrofoam! I hope they transition to a better to-go container as I am always hesitant to order takeout-- because of all the styrofoam. Otherwise- food is wonderful. read more

We were hungry when we got into NOLA and Pho Tran was close to our place so we decided to give it a try. The food was outstanding! Best Pho I've had in a while and we have some good places in San Diego to choose from. Service was great too. Try the Chao Chao. read more

Amazing food and the service was helpful finding us an ATM while their card reader was broken.

Ordered the shrimp spring rolls, crab Rangoon, and shrimp pho. Shrimp spring rolls were fresh and the peanut sauce was superb. The crab rangoons were pretty good too. Let's talk about this shrimp pho....IT WAS EVERYTHING! The shrimps were big and plentiful. The veggies were fresh and the broth was authentic. I am definitely going back to try other menu items. read more

I like they're open Sundays and the rare flank pho was good and so were the pork spring rolls but i didn't like the pork was just a sausage type and not the grilled pork i normally see in the Bun. I tried the pork sandwich the 2nd visit and it was ok but not the best around. read more

The grilled shrimp vermicelli was very yummy! Overall a pretty standard experience for a Vietnamese restaurant.

Decided to have dinner here after seeing the positive reviews, and was not disappointed. The grilled pork and rice and vermicelli soup bowl with beef were excellent. The pork had a sweet taste similar to korean kalbi bbq sauce. Also ordered the crispy chicken roll for appetizer. I expected it to be fried, but it came out on rice wrappers...I now believe that this was a summer roll with crispy chicken, although I did not find the chicken inside crispy at all . Service was okay except for fact that I ordered the appetizer before we decided on on main entrees. The couple we were with received their summer roll, then my wife received her soup bowl, and I thought they may have forgotten about the chicken rolls. A minute later they came out. As I was eating my roll, my rice dish came out. Although an asian myself, I would still prefer to have appetizer eaten first before you bring out main dishes unless specifically requested. My wife was almost finished with her soup before she started her roll, and by then she thought the rice wrapper gotten a bit chewy. Because of this, I cannot give this place a 5 star. read more

Yummo - love this spot! I've searched and found the best pho here! The broth is amazing. The rice dishes are top notch also. Tried the grilled pork over rice with egg rolls and the shrimp fried rice. The rice is well executed - not a mushy mess that you find at some places. Portions are super generous. The food is so good though - you can't stop eating. Definitely check out - support great local businesses like this spot! read more

I'm an ironic attempt to cool off with something fresh and hydrating, we stopped into this pho spot. The experience started strong with air conditioning. We ordered the pork steam buns and they were delicious! I could have just had two orders of these and left a happy gal. For entrees I went with the lemongrass vermicelli bun and my partner got the rare stead and brisket pho. The entrees were incredibly mediocre. There was barely a whisper of lemongrass flavor on the chicken. Overall the dish needed a much heartier mix of fresh veggies and herbs. It was pretty bland in color and flavor. The pho was ok- it wasn't aggressively good or bad. Mostly, my poor review calls in the fact that it took 45 mins for us to get our food. On a very average paced Thursday night. Pho is famously quick- considering that almost every element is premade/prepared. read more

The banhmi and pho here are delicious. Service is friendly and fast. The chia seed coconut drink it's refreshing and just what I needed from the heat outside. Prices are reasonable and quantity is good. Highly recommend this place for anyone who likes Vietnamese food. read more

I usually get my pho fix on the West Bank or in the East, but Pho Tran is now a go to when I don't want to venture out that far! I'd put it in the same tier as Lily's. The broth was overall good and they gave you just enough meat and noodles. The broth was missing something, but i can't quite put my finger on it - it just lacked the depth of some of my favorite pho shops, but nothing chili oil and hoisin couldn't fix. I'm excited to try it again to see how it compares next time! Their service is also super friendly and quick! Overall a great new spot in the city. read more

Always so good. One of my favorite restaurants in town. Jay and Henry treat me like a friend.

My favorite Pho Shop in Nola. I usually get the Brisket Pho. It comes out piping hot with garnish on the side (I love the Bean Sprouts). They always give plenty of meat, and the broth is to so flavorful yet classic. The service is always great, but the appearance of this place could definitely make you not take a second look. Looks aren't everything. I recommend them for Viet Food! read more

Pho Tran - Brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Pho Tran is quite an authentic, hidden gem restaurant . When we entered, we were kindly greeted by two waiters and we got to sit anywhere we wanted. We ordered lychee juice, pickled lemon soda, the first pho dish, and a shrimp spring roll (aka summer roll). The roll was mediocre but the broth of the pho noodle was the best I've had when compared to New York and Philadelphia. The flavor was so splendid--one could tell that the chef spent some time making this broth. The drinks were also amazing, it was on par with drinks I've had in Hong Kong and New York. read more

I've had Pho Tran a few times before for lunch, it's very consistent in terms of cleanliness and good service. I typically get the beef over rice with a fried egg on top. Beef has great flavor and I always enjoy the fresh salad on the side, it complaints the main dish well. Would recommend. read more

Pho Tran - Beef over rice - Vietnamese Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I'm neutral about the place. I use to frequent the place a lot. Loved the lemongrass curry tofu and the tofu spring roll but after the last visit not sure I will return. The meal usually has some flavour to it but what I got was super dry and no flavour at all. Like they forgot the lemongrass and curry! The fish sauce didn't even help with the flavour or dryness and the spring roll had more lettuce than tofu. Service was ok but I don't think I'll revisit again. read more

I was craving some Pad Thai and wanted to go somewhere close to home. My friend told me about this spot so we went together. I ordered the Pad Thai, no shrimp. It came with beef, which was fine. I thought why not because I am allergic to shrimp. But something just wasn't right. I have had this dish several times but this time the beef was a bit tough. It appeared that the quality wasn't right and the meat was dry. A bit too dry. The noodles were a little greasy and could've used just a tad more sauce. Okay I get it, you may have changed your supplier or you were having an off day. But, paying attention to small details for returning customers means a lot. The server asked how we enjoyed our meal and I told her that the beef was a bit tough but overall it was a pretty good dish. I was pleased. Then the chef came out. That is right the actual chef came out from the kitchen and got confrontational with me over my opinion about the beef. I was like what the hell?!?! Dude..... confrontational about the beef!!!! The actual nerve!!!!! I was honest and respectful. If no one tells you, how can it improve? Anyways. I will definitely not be going back to that place. If you have to come out the back and get confrontational about a customer being honest about their meal I will take my money elsewhere. And here I am trying to support local business. I will go to another local spot next time. read more

Some of the best pho in the city! Great service, and their rice plates are very good as well!

Absolutely love this place! Their pho reminds me of my mom's, so it always feels like I have a piece of home with me. My fiancé and I have been coming here since we moved to New Orleans a couple months ago and it's great every time. The servers are very friendly and the food is delicious. read more

I cried when I left because I knew that I would not find this good of food in my home town. I had lemongrass shrimp over vermicelli noodles and they made my tongue a bone. The Chao-Chao things were little Viet empanadas filled with shrimp and pork and a little creaminess. I wanted to keep on eating but I could not. I was full and satisfied but yes, I cried. read more

Delicious chicken pho. Kind staff. Great prices. A neighborhood staple. Enjoyed sitting outside and people watching on Magazine.

First time here, the pork was very tender and juicy, vegetables were super fresh. The bread was crumblier and crunchier than the commonly chewy/crunchy sort of baguette, similar to typical French bread, but overall it was really good! Great quality food, and really friendly servers. read more

Definitely doesn't look like much when you walk in (I didn't even notice it at first), but once you find it, you're in for a treat. I really enjoyed the pho here.
