"Come here for the best banh mi (Vietnamese bread rolls of sliced pork, cucumber, cilantro; locally called a ‘Vietnamese po’boy’)."

"Come here for the fantastic pho."

"Thanks to its huge Vietamese population, New Orleans has excellent banh mi. Head eat for the best, as a 2018 James Beard award corroborated."

"The banh mi are superb — some of the best outside of Vietnam, even if they don’t resemble those you’ll find on the streets of Saigon. These sandwiches are over-stuffed with meat and veggies. The authentically Vietnamese touch does come from the excellent fresh baguettes that are baked on-premise."

Andrew Parks

"The James Beard Foundation gave this beloved family business a coveted America's Classics Award in 2018. It's easy to understand why when you bite into one of the banh mi sandwiches, especially an ethereal, meaty blend of French cold cuts, butter, mayo, and pâté. The bread itself, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, is so beloved that it's also used by other po' boy purveyors throughout the city."
