Phở Tầu Bay Restaurant

This place was fine, honestly, but I was looking for amazing. I know NOLA has a large Vietnamese population, and as a pho connoisseur, I couldn't wait to find a local spot. This has the best reviews, but I was a little disappointed. The broth doesn't have much flavor - just salty. The chicken spring rolls were dry. It was a little bit of a let down. The staff were super friendly and it was very clean at least!!

From out of town and this was the best food and friendliest service of the whole trip. Everything was delicious, the spring rolls were phenomenal! Definitely recommend it for something outside of the tourists trap restaurants and hope to make it back before leaving

I had a well done beef and sausage pho here before a show at the Saenger Theater. Spacious, well lit, and very clean space. The staff are very helpful and efficient. The pho and toppings were so fresh. Bathroom was super clean. Always a great sign of pride in cleanliness by staff and management.

05/28/2024: I always attempt to order/get Vietnamese food when I travel just to experience what it tastes like in that particular locale. I’m in NOLA for work and spotted Pho Tau Bay nearby with good reviews. I think it was at 4.6 when I looked them up on Google. I order a couple of dishes for dinner and work lunches. I got pho, banh mi, goi cuon, and xoi The pho had no aromatic or beefy flavors. It barely tasted like pho. The meat, noodles, and veggies were all standard. The broth was terribly disappointing. The xoi was okay and nothing particularly special. The banh mi was lacking meat, but the pate was surprisingly the tastiest part. The tofu goi cuon was also standard. I really liked the hoisin/peanut sauce. The food overall was mediocre and I would not go or order from Pho Tau Bay. I wanted to bring my work colleagues to this spot since it’s close to my work, but that is not going to happen. Also the prices were WAY HIGH. I don’t want to even say how much I paid with tip. I did appreciate the food arriving fast and packaged well.

Walked over on my first day in New Orleans and greatly enjoyed my meal. I got the CM 12 and AP 14 to eat in the restaurant, and two banh mi to-go for lunches the next couple days. Everything was perfectly made and presented beautifully, and the flavors were so good. I absolutely hope to be back. Great experience.

Solid taste for an authentic bowl of pho. I like their setup, which really encourages trying all sorts of sides and sauces for those adventurous. The bowl in the picture (P7, Pho Dac Biet) had almost the entire dish of side veggie put in, which enhanced the overall taste. Nothing compares with the great satisfying feel after a hot bowl of pho ... personally, I think they got it.

The nime chow was good but I was a little disappointed with the pho and bahn mi. All in all it’s good to try but definitely doesn’t fulfill a craving.

This place is incredible! Chicken pho, BBH, and grilled pork spring rolls are top top class and very convenient location! Fast service and I was in town for a food event and forgot an ingredient and chef Carl hooked me up with some oyster sauce on the house! You saved us, brother! This place knows what they’re doing and i give it 10/10 stars!

Sometimes you don't want to go out and you don't want fried food. Good thing UBER delivers to hotels. I ordered a B7- bun ga nuong cha gio aka chicken and vermicelli with spring roll. Order came early and the box was filled to the brim. Food is very good, reminds me of the Vietnamese food at home. Chicken was a tad dry. No plastic forks - is there a plastics ban on Nola too? No worries I got some extra forks from take out the previous nights. This is a good place for Vietnamese food.

One of my favorite Bun Bo Hue's in New Orleans. It's a little spicy and very flavorful. I usually just order a large bowl, though I do eat a lot. The egg rolls are crispy and full of meat fillings. The Pho Ap Chao is pan fried pho with sir fried vegetables (plus or minus meats). I love the crispy/pan fried texture of the pho. The stir fry is savory and you can still taste the traditional pho flavors. The Ice Coffee is made using a Vietnamese phin filter- very strong and will wake anyone up. I like mine with less condensed milk. The owners are very friendly and the service is fast. It can get busy around lunch time. There's a parking lot across the street, though it is located next to the interstate.

Solid taste for an authentic bowl of pho. I love their setup, which really encourages trying all sorts of sides and sauces for the adventurous. The bowl in the picture (P7, Pho Dac Biet) had almost the entire dish of side veggies added in, which enhanced the overall flavor. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the variety of meats in the Pho Dac Biet provided a great balance of textures. Their attention to detail in the preparation is evident, from the freshness of the ingredients to the careful balance of spices. I also appreciated the generous portions, which make for a very satisfying meal. Nothing compares to the comforting and hearty feel of a hot bowl of pho, especially on a chilly day. Personally, I think they've nailed it. If you're looking for an authentic pho experience with the freedom to customize your bowl to your taste, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Walked in and was promptly greeted by delightful staff! It was between the dinner and lunch rush so the crowd was absent. We ordered a full order of spring rolls with pork and shrimp which was absolutely wonderful followed by combo Pho for both my wife and I. Pho was on point and hit the spot. Place is a gem, clean well appointed with welcoming staff and great food! It is a walk up to counter spot, but they bring your food to you and clear away your dishes as you finish. What more could you ask for. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful experience. Hours are Mon-Fri 11-7. It is close to the I-10 on Tulane that caters to mostly hospital staff and patients I'm sure. Not sure what else to add other than I encourage you to give them a shot if you find yourself in the vicinity.

I came here on a rainy day and it was the perfect meal. We ordered the extra large Pho Tai and the #1 banh mi. You order at the cashier and they deliver your order at your table. The pho was flavorful and they give you a lot of noodles. The banh mi was fresh with a generous spread of pate. I liked that they give you shrimp chips with the banh mi. I saw that a bunch of New Orleans police officers eat here so it must be good haha. I would definitely come back!

I recently visited this restaurant and tried their pho, which featured a combination that included tendons. The tendons added a silky texture, rich in collagen, enhancing the overall flavors of the broth--a delightful touch to the dish. However, I found the spring rolls to be smaller than expected, and the pricing was different from what I had seen listed on Google. The ambiance inside is quiet, catering to a more casual dining experience. While I generally prefer a sit-down service, where the waitstaff attends to your table, this establishment operates on a model where you place your order at the counter, and they bring the food to you, still a pleasant experience, just with a different vibe. Overall, it's a solid spot, but based on my experience, I would rate it a 3 out of 5.

This is my go to meal. Meat is always seasoned and tender. The customer service is always great. Nice vibe that is perfect for inside dining or cute date.

Peanut sauce to the spring rolls were good. I loved how they had silver utensils and plates for the garnish (keeps everything clean). Ambiance inside was nice and Vietnamese culture influenced. The owner, Greg, was such a delight. We chatted about the nuances of Vietnamese communities and history in Cali and New Orleans. He even took the time to write my dad and I place recommendations to buy dried shrimp in bulk!! We also took home the khoai mon and flan home. Support your local Vietnamese restaurant, we will

Needed some comfort food while I was on a trip to NOLA and found this place. We walked 15 minutes from the hotel in pouring rain to get there. The place is not open late but pho is fast, right? This is an order at the counter type place. You get a number for the table. Although they have staff very attentive around the seating area. The staff was very patient with us while we ordered and ate. We were literally last ones to leave and after closing time. My friend who never had pho before asked a lot of questions which they kindly answered. My pho was delicious. The prices were very reasonable. Great service most importantly. What more can I say? I was wondering if I would regret getting pho while in NOLA but it was worth it!

NOLA has a large Vietnamese population, so I decided to find a pho restaurant near my hotel. It's on an unassuming corner next to a Jamaican restaurant and across the street from the medical school. A few people were dining in or waiting for their take out orders. Seems they have regulars. Regardless, they were friendly and greeted me upon entry and as I was leaving. You order at the counter and they give you a number to place on your table. I got pho with steak and banh mi dac biet, which I planned to save for breakfast the next day. The pho was fantastic! The broth came steaming hot with a generous amount of noodles. Hoisin and sriracha were by the drink station so I definitely mixed that in. I also really liked the banh mi. Very filling and wonderful homemade bread! It came with a side of shrimp chips. So good! Good prices too! It feels a bit like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant but I'm not sure when it gets busy as I came early evening on a Tuesday. There's parallel parking in front but I'm unfamiliar with the area. Maybe there are parking lots nearby. When I visit NOLA again, I will definitely come back to eat here!

I believe this is the only Vietnamese restaurant located in French Quarter New Orleans and it was great! We tried a variety of food from their menu and it is authentic in my opinion. Quality, freshness, and flavors were all on point here. We got Pho Dac Biet, spring rolls, rice plates and they were good. However, I do think the portion of their protein (pork) could be slightly bigger on their rice plates. I was eating half a slide of pork with a big spoon of rice to make it proportional but that is just my opinion. The prices are very reasonable. It is self-service where you order at the counter and they will bring the food to your table. Service is quick and friendly. Indoor features plenty of seatings to enjoy your meal. The only downside is they do not open on the weekends. Food: 8.2/10 Service: 8.5/10 Experience: 8.5/10 Value: 8/10

I'm used to pho in Atlanta and California, and this was by far, not the best. While there are parking lots near this location, there isn't a lot of free parking around for people picking up food. You have to park on the street and put your hazards on, run in and get your food, and hope your car isn't ticketed. The service is actually fine and quick, but the food was quite disappointing. We ordered a few orders of spring rolls (pork and beef) and a few bowls of pho (beef and chicken). The proteins all were overcooked, and the pho broth was not beefy at all. Some would argue the broth tasted a little sweet, not the hearty beefy type broth one is used to when ordering pho. All this for almost $100...value simply isn't there. With all the Vietnamese presence in the New Orleans area, this place completely underwhelmed and will likely not come here again.

My realtor took me here after my house closing. The food was amazing. I forgot to take photos. We had spring rolls and some other rolls (he gets them custom made) and both had pho. Amazing! It was a large portion in a small order. I ended up taking some home. Location was minimalistic but cozy. Everyone was super nice and the runners were pleasant. You order at the counter and then sit anywhere. It's clearly a hot spot for the medical community lots of folks in scrubs.

I came to New Orleans for southern creole food but I was craving some Asian food and found the perfect spot! We came on a Friday night near closing, the wait time wasn't long as you had to order first at the counter before getting served. I came in with low expectations but was truly impressed. While majority of the group get a P7 - Beef Combo Pho, I settled for the Bun Bo Hue. Both the broth for the pho and the bun bo hue were all so flavorful. The noodles and ingredients were fresh and definitely hit the spot for a colder evening. I also ordered the espresso coffee with condense milk over ice and it was the perfect mixture of sweetness for me! Would absolutely recommend if you're looking for some soup or some pho while staying in New Orleans!

In A Nutshell: -Pho Tau Bay (Airport/Airplane Bay) in NOLA is just an average Vietnamese restaurant. -I am used to Vietnamese from from California so my standards are pretty high. -Also visited Vietnam a few times so I know what good Vietnamese food is. -I was disappointed with both the Bun Thit & Nem Nuong. -The Bun Thit tasted good but I wish it had more meat, veggies & noodles. -The Nem Nuong was disappointing bc it didnt have the right grilled pork, no eggroll wrapper for the crunch & the sauce was not the right sauce. Overall, I can tell the main customers are mi chang & mi den so thats why you are getting this watered down version of Vietnamese food.

The service like no other and the food is extremely good!!! I highly recommend! The best pho in New Orleans

Very Americanized and modern concept for Vietnamese food. You order first, get a number, find a seat, and they bring your food out. Like a fast food type of concept. The food was not bad. We got pho special, grilled pork spring rolls, and BBH.

Good pho but I found the portions tiny My group of 3 came by for dinner on Thursday at 6:30. They close at 7, so we quickly ordered and got our food. I wasn't super hungry since I was at a hh before this. They didn't have any apps that looked appealing to me either, so I ordered the S7 seafood noodle soup ($11.50 for regular size) to go, thinking that I could have some at the restaurant and take the rest to go. When I got my food, I was surprised by the small portion. I was planning to only eat a couple bites, but as I was chatting with my friends, I found myself eating most of the noodles and seafood without feeling overly full or bloated. If I was actually hungry, I don't think this would've been enough for me. The noodle soup itself was good. The soup was flavorful and light, and there was a decent amount of seafood in the soup.

Delicious pho! I'm from Hawaii where we have pho restaurants in abundance. I'm always looking for good pho places when I travel. If you're ever craving pho or need a good hangover cure, I'd recommend this place. The broth was great in flavor. Noodles were good & the place was huge with lots of seating. It was my first time ordering my pho at a counter and then finding a seat, that made me skeptical.. however when I drank the broth I was happy to find that it was tasty. It wasn't as aromatic as I'd like it to be, but for being away from home it did it's job. I also got a cafe su da (Vietnamese ice coffee) which was also great. They also give you this spicy looking sauce, it wasn't too spicy at all to me and it had a really nice flavor. I would be back if I'm ever in town.

Com thit nuong and pho was good. Not from the area and was needing my Vietnamese fix and it did the job.

Do you like Vietnamese food? Then EAT HERE! Seriously, it's fantastic. All the produce is always fresh and the seasoning is consistent good. Plus, the family who runs it has a great back story.

Ordered delivery AP2. Goi Cuon BM12. Banh Mi Dac Biet B5. Bun Bo Xao Cha Gil First time customer. Everything was excellent and I appreciated the tasty pate on the Banh Mi. Will definitely order again. Food was fresh and delivery was fast.

Glad I finally got to try this place! I went by earlier this year and they were closed during regular business hours so I wasn't sure if they were even still in business. I gave them a second shot last week and was impressed. Ordered the tofu veggie rice plate which has a plentiful savory sauce complete with pineapple, broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots. It was a very generous portion and I ate all of it in a single sitting. Didn't make me sick either, and if you know me and my issue with oily/fatty foods, you will know what high praise that is. The setup is easy, you order at the counter and your food is brought to the table. Prices are very reasonable.

Good Vietnamese food. Incredible backstory of a series of multi-generation family owned restaurant that operated in Saigon before adding this NOLA location! Bonus. they do the order-ahead style for a quick dining experience. FOOD: - Pho Dac Biet 4/5: cuts of meat were clean! Noodles were tad too soft; however mellow yet flavorful broth that you'll want to try on it's own before slapping in the sriracha. - Beef Stew with baguette 4/5: wish the consistency was thicker. Potatoes or radish could be a good addition as used in some variations. - Combination Banh Mi 5/5: BAGUETTES ARE THE WINNER here. Love the cold cuts & addition of sliced onions that you don't normally see.

Food is fresh and delicious. Service is excellent! Order at the counter, they deliver the food to your table, and will check on you multiple times to see if you need anything.

On my trip in New Orleans, this was the first stop we went to. I ordered the chicken pho and Bahn Mi. I've been to New Orleans several times, on this particular trip I visited two Vietnamese places and this one was the best. New Orleans has a Vietnamese community and it's a must try to taste the cuisine while your here. I like that you order at the register and they bring it to your table. The chicken pho was very flavorful they bring you all the herbs, bean sprouts, and jalapeños you may need. I wasn't feeling well and this pho did the job of bringing me back to health. Also the traditional Bahn Mi was on a fresh roll and had the perfect amount of ingredients which was nice. I honestly can't complain about this meal 5/5 stars

Love this place! Food is always great, setting and staff are wonderful. Consistently good.

Went back after many years away. Fortunately I can park for free since there is very little free parking in the area. I had the Vietnamese stew which is my regular there. Though the broth was not as strong as it used to be its still on the menu unlike most other Vietnamese joints around town. The food is great as always and so are the cheap prices. Still a great lunch option.

Tasty broth for the pho (not as aromatic as I'm used to, but the heartiness makes up for it), amazing banh mis, and delicious flan. We went after 3 days of cajun food and it was a nice palate cleanser, especially after 12 lbs of screamingly spicy crawfish!

Excellent pho. Authentic Spicy bun Bo hue. 1 Mike walk from cruise port. Worth the stroll.

Enjoyed the flavorful broth of the pho on a cold day in New Orleans. The service was quick and friendly. The portions were incredible for the price. Definitely would come back.

Very clean and organized. I tried pho and it was very good. Severs were friendly and helpful.

The wonton soup is great pick-me-up during the winter! Staff are very kind and attentive

We ordered two Pho Ga and one P1. Pho Tai. We also ordered a full order of AP2. Goi Cuon and a full order of AP0 Fried Wontons. All excellent. Would definitely recommend trying this place out.

The Pho was piping hot. Good flavor and fast service. You do have to order at the counter and wait for your food. The lunch crowd is very loud but its a good spot to grab a quick bowl.

Unassuming spot with a great bowl of pho. Everyone who helped me was nice and it wasn't long before I was face to face with a gloriously rich broth with the perfect toppings to set my day off right. It's a pretty big space so there was ample seating and plenty of options on the menu. There wasn't much around, so it was a bit of a walk from my hotel to get here but damn was it ever worth it. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.

The food is okay, but the style of the restaurant is very cafeteria and the service is unfriendly. Also it's too expensive. Pricing makes no sense, and they don't have steam buns :( The restaurant was silent for most of our meal, at the end they started playing some kind of acoustic cover over the speaker. One other group ate at the same time we did. About three weeks ago around 4pm I took my niece and sister here for lunch and felt foolish for it. I had guessed that at this particular spot (which I've enjoyed for nearly a decade) the location and odd time of day would make for an easier dining experience with a four year old who had been craving meatball soup. However, the wait staff seemed to have an issue with us. Not sure what the deal was, but the point is we are not interested in supporting Pho Tau Bay anymore and will happily carry my ass to the West Bank next time I need some soup. My niece is four, she is a little bit rowdy and was excited to be hanging out with the crew during the day, but she really is a very well behaved kid. Not to say we didn't have any annoying moments, but her mother and I were in good spirits and paying attention to the girl. My niece was sort of wobbling around and couldn't stand still, so we wandered out of the line while we waited to order. We saw the only other people in the restaurant were in line ahead of us, so we didn't realize standing in the line was strictly necessary until a thin woman barked at us to step behind the other group. We obviously were aware of the line order, but okay sure no problem. We complied but noticed she kept an eye on us from that moment on. The same woman really seemed peeved when my niece wanted to get her own booster seat. I walked with the kid, but let her carry it. My bad. My niece dropped the plastic booster seat on the floor, and we picked it right up. After that it was every ten minutes or so checking on us. We couldn't understand why the wait staff continually checked on us while we were eating, distracting us from our hot food to offer additional silverware that my niece did not want to use, ask if the food was okay, and seemingly pushing us to get togo boxes. We were eating kind of family style and sincerely didn't need any help. We felt so embarrassed after the meal, and I can't help but feel like I should warn y'all this just ain't the place to take the kids, the family, or anyone tbh. Maybe a blind date.

This place seems a little tucked away across from the medical center but in spite of the hunt for parking its worth the trip. You order at the counter and then find a place to sit, staff brings your food to you. So its not fine dinning but the food here is really terrific Vietnamese. In my case the pho was especially flavorful and had a unique flavor quality I really enjoyed. Good portions, reasonable prices and all in all an excellent place for lunch especially. Be aware they close early, like 7 pm.

Ordered a chicken pho to go, and it was not it. Not sure if it was because it was take out that the quality was crappier? I previously came based on reviews about NOLA having a Vietnamese community, and was excited to taste a good bowl of soup. When I cracked open the to-go bowl and saw the few pieces of shredded chicken, I knew it was not it. For $12(?) I thought I'd get a few pieces of fresh chicken, as it goes with typical pho ga. But whatevs, I gave it the benefit of the doubt. The broth tasted like standard msg soup, the shredded chicken was as dry as it looked, and.. there was little to like about it, so I tossed it.

We're huge fans of Vietnamese food and we're looking for a change after eating so much heavy food as all tourists do. We ordered the pork spring rolls in rice paper wrappers, beef well done (brisket) pho, pork ban mi, a the pork and fried spring roll bun, and carrot cake. The ban mi was the star of the show no doubt. The bread was amazing and I could eat those every day and never get tired of it, so I think! The Pho was good but was missing the flavor of the spices like star anise, but it was still very good none the less. The bun was quite tasty and the carrot cake was superb! I do want to mention the service was great as well. Usually at a counter service spot there's not much service, but here there is and it's much appreciated!

I got pho tai nam, was good! and very surprising for that area. Sriracha is bad... would not recommend if you are the type of person to pour it in your broth. The broth is actually really tasty!! Meat quality and quantity was lacking though. If you are craving asian food then it's not a bad place.

Bahn mi and beef vermicelli noodles were delicious! Definitely would return. Service was great as well.

I throughly enjoyed my pho when visited. I was looking for something not Cajun since most of the food options while vacationing in New Orleans was mostly Cajun or seafood. So, the day I was flying out, I looked up different options and found that Pho Tau was near the hotel. I immediately went and enjoyed my home going lunch I would recommend pho to anyone lookifor quality food. Ohh and the staff was very friendly & accommodating

Always great food....& great customer service+ close to the French Quarter Shrimp Summer Rolls

I came here precovid with two of my friends. We were all shocked at the quality of food here. The pho broth was so different than the ones I've had in NY- in a good way. My friends and I still talk about this place to this day. I recommended it to my other friends who had gone to Nola after me too. The banh mi was mediocre- definitely had much better here in NY. However, the pho is soooooo good. I'd actually be shocked if someone went here and thought it was bland. I also loved how they serve the viet coffee. Most places now a days just give you a cup of it already made. It feels so much more authentic when you can watch it drip. Can't wait to come back here when I venture back to Nola one day.

I had high hopes for this one because it had such a extensive, authentic menu. I'm vietnamese so I was excited by this since there aren't that many Vietnamese restaurants where I'm from. I mean, it's better than viet Orleans but it left some to be desired. The meat seemed to be good quality and the broth was decent with some good flavors but maybe I need to stop comparing it to my mom's! Not worth the little hike to get there I'd say.

Food was great! I ordered through Uber Eats and it arrived on time. I've been to the restaurant before and service and the ambiance are also exceptional.

Food and service were good. If you're craving Vietnamese and you are around, it's the place to go or Mr.Bubbles!
