    Pho nam bo vien (brisket + beef ball pho), Goi cuon thit nuong (grilled pork spring roll), Tra da chanh duong (sweet Jasmine tea with lime)
    Chante W.

    First visit to Tan Dinh, and I'll definitely be back! The large, open floor plan was immediately welcoming, as was the hostess. My server was kind, knowledgeable, and happy to share her favorite menu picks--always a bonus. Since it was a rainy day, I went for a comforting bowl of pho (because nothing beats warm broth on a gloomy day). My food arrived quickly, and every bite was delicious. Overall, I loved my experience and can't wait to try more dishes on my next visit!

    Charred Port Spring Rolls

    I've been coming here since 1995 (I think that's the right date), and it is by far the best Vietnamese food place. Their Pho is unbeatable, and I have never found a place to match them. They are also known for their chicken wings, so try the lemongrass wings; you can thank me later. I'm a sucker for their egg rolls aka Crack Rolls cuz I swear you'll be dreaming about them in your sleep. Go to TD's and give them a try. I guarantee you will come back often.

    I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and a rare beef pho . Both were exceptional.. outstanding. The peanut sauce with the spring rolls was very tasty. Excellent service. Great tasting broth, plenty of veggies. Reasonably priced. What's not to love? Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu.

    Bánh hỏi with egg rolls
    Uyen N.

    Bánh hỏi is okay. They don't have the classic bánh hỏi with crispy roasted pork so I do egg roll instead. Egg roll is crispy, but I think the skin is too thick. The nem summer roll is pretty good. Each roll is huge. Pho is my least favorite. The broth is bland and has a weird taste. But the noodle is well cooked, meat is standard

    I've been here a few times. Had other dishes before but nothing fancy. This time I've went and to try out their bbh "bún bò huế". The noodles were overcooked. They didn't have certain items in the bowl that the bbh normally has. Sorry but I wouldn't be ordering it again.

    Get the lemon grass chicken wings! Soooooooo good! I really think this a great place to check out on the West Bank! It can be a bit pricey, but the food is delicious, and the portions are big. It would be hard to be disappointed. There is a lot of seating and tables are spread apart. Ordering food here is very easy as well.

    I haven't been to Tan Dinh in a while, so I decided to dine in when I had some free time. I really liked the seat-yourself service. I ordered the sweet jasmine tea, and I was a little worried that it might be too sweet, but the server told me they add lime to it to cut the sugar. It turned out to be very refreshing. I also ordered the lemongrass spring rolls, which had an insane amount of chicken and flavor. They tasted really good. I decided to try something new from the menu and ordered the salt and pepper shrimp with lemongrass sauce. The huge, juicy shrimp were topped with amazing seasoning, pickled veggies, and served with steamed rice. It was simply AMAZING!

    Tan Dinh is consistently great. I started coming here in 2011 and it still a fantastic spot for Vietnamese food. I love the sweet rice cakes! The fact that there's an option to substitute white rice with the decadent sweet rice cakes is such a treat. They have a nice size vegetarian menu. I like the curry tofu and the spicy lemongrass tofu. Tapioca drinks are delicious! I also like that they offer a medium or large size options for the pho even during dinner service. The medium is already a nice size portion. They do not serve Bahn Mi, so you'll have to get your sandwich elsewhere.

    All their chicken dishes are my fav! Chicken wings - perfectly fried and so much flavor. They have a few different options in flavors. I usually get the fish sauce or tamarind ones. So good. Ga nuong - over rice, over noodles, doesn't matter. It's a huge portion! And so delicious. Their pho isn't my favorite. But my bf and his friends said their pho ga is one of the best. Suon rang muoi - this is a really good fried pork rib dish. It is VERY heavy to me. I cannot finish an entire portion. But the flavor is on point and the crunch in each bite is insurmountable! Ga roti - supposed to be rotisserie chicken, but I'm pretty sure it's fried. If you're not watching your cholesterol, i would def try this!!! A lot of people like it with their sticky rice but I'm not a fan. Anyway. Come here. Eat your fill. Portions are insane. Food is delicious.

    Vermicelli bowl with chargrilled pork and egg rolls

    OH my goodness such an amazing meal at Tan Dinh yesterday!! Probably the best Vietnamese food I've ever had! My friend and I were coming home from a long morning hiking and we were starving. We yelped good Vietnamese food on the West Bank and Tan Dinh was one of the top spots so we pulled in. We were a little surprised it was so packed at 1:30 PM but the dining room is big and we got a table immediately. Service was a little slow because there were so many people and not many servers but we were patient. We decided to start with the lemongrass chicken wings. OMG. We are both huge wing fans and we agreed that they were the best we've had in NOLA. There were also SO MANY on the appetizer plate. We split them and then were too full for our main dishes. And this came from two VERY HUNGRY people. We both ended up taking most of our bowls home. I got the vermicelli bowl with egg rolls and chargrilled pork which was GIGANTIC. It was also awesome!! I will definitely make it back here to try the rest of the menu and eat those chicken wings again!

    After my previous go-to West Bank Vietnamese restaurant closed, I thought I'd give this one a try. They have a vegetarian section with a few flavors of tofu over rice or noodles, and I tried what seemed to be their signature lemongrass. The dish arrived with a massive amount of actual tofu, deep fried, garnished with a sauce full of actual lemongrass (it looks like small bamboo stalks cut into sections, and tastes lemony of course), and with more sauce beneath. The sticky rice cakes I ordered probably didn't make it any healthier-this was a very sugary dish-but it was all pretty delicious, and the dish did at least include some spinach and other vegetables on the side. For being in a nondescript strip, it was a nice, clean, but casual place inside. I often wonder about visiting restaurants at off hours, but they had plenty of business at 3 on a Saturday, and I got good service. I got a tapioca pearl drink, which most people there seemed to have ordered. They did not have the first flavor I wanted, nor the second that they offered me, which was a bit suspect, but the strawberry something or other flavor that I ended up with was perfectly satisfying. The plastic cup it comes in makes a good to-go container, which is good, because I was pretty stuffed from the food. I'd come back.

    Delicious duck!
    Sarah R.

    I'm going to be honest: I probably would have made this a 4 star review, except my entree was phenomenal. We stopped in on a Saturday evening and were greeted by a lovely server. We ordered the chicken wings and some shrimp spring rolls to start, and then between us got an order of rare beef pho, some chicken steamed buns, and I got a small order of duck. The chicken wings were tasty and the meat was tender, though it still can't touch the wings of MOPHO. The spring rolls were pretty basic; I was looking for more fresh herbs and a bit more spice in the peanut sauce. The pho broth was rich and deep with the traditional Chinese 5 spice and lots of herbaceous notes, and the chicken was tender and juicy, served with briny and spicy kimchi. Both very good. But then I tasted the duck. Holy hell. For a small portion, it looked like half of the animal. The meat was cooked perfectly and very moist. The fat was rendered and the skin was slightly crispy and not rubbery at all. The seasoning of the duck was so good I didn't even touch the au jus, and just dipped my rice cakes in the duck drippings. I left with enough leftovers for another substantial dinner, and I have to say, it was almost as good on day 2. We left stuffed, groaning, and happy. Best duck I've had in a long while!

    Lemongrass tofu rice plate. Amazing!  Tofu chunks were FAR larger than they look in the photo.

    This is my favorite pho in the city - fresh, flavorful, and good service. It's also very child friendly, which makes it a go-to spot.

    Delicious super cute small portions, but appropriate. Super nice staff…read more Reasonable pricing parking sucks

    When I was in middle school, Magasin was the first place I ever tried pho, and I absolutely loved…read moreit. Anytime we were in the city, we would go to Magasin for pho. A few years ago, we found out that they had closed, and we were so disappointed. So when I was back in the city today and saw that they had reopened, I was genuinely so excited to go back. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my experience. We ordered the spring rolls, which were extremely small and just okay. I ordered the rare steak pho, which is what I typically order at any Vietnamese restaurant. At every other Vietnamese restaurant I've been to, the pho is served with a plate of fresh garnishes on the side. This was also how I remembered it being served at Magasin before they closed. When my pho arrived without any fresh garnishes, I was a little surprised, but I figured I would just see how the pho itself was. Unfortunately, the broth was extremely greasy, with large droplets of oil visibly floating on top. The flavor of the broth itself was also very bland and lacked the depth and flavor I've come to expect from good pho. I was really hoping to have the same experience I remembered from years ago, so it was especially disappointing to return after all this time and leave feeling let down. I truly wanted to love Magasin again, but unfortunately, my experience this time was not what I remembered.
