Beyond pho, the menu shines with dishes like the vibrant bánh mì, which bursts with layered flavors and satisfying textures, alongside fresh, thoughtfully prepared sushi.

The Thai iced tea is another standout, sweet and creamy, enticing patrons to return again and again.
The atmosphere strikes a balance between clean modernity and inviting warmth, though it leans a bit polished for traditional casual dining.

In summary, Viet Orleans Bistro captures the essence of Vietnamese flavors with a clean, modern presentation that resonates well in New Orleans’ vibrant culinary scene.

“ 10/10 for me! The broth for the pho is absolutely spot on. It hits the taste buds just right with the right amount of salt, umami and richness. The banh mi is absolutely flavorful and the sushi is fresh and delicious! Thai tea is to die for went back the next day to get another lol HIGHLY recommend this place for good Vietnamese cuisine! If you want a nice light and rich soup, definitely get the N5 Pho ”
“ The restaurant is very clean, and feels trendy, that's actually my only knock on the atmosphere just a little too polished. Food was very good, the service was great. Constant attention. The sushi was fresh and tasted good. This was really a 4.7 but it's five or four so round up. The draft beer was a little warm for my taste. I was shocked at how few people were in the restaurant, but it was a nice change from most of the other places around it. I'll come back. If you don't know that eel sauce is the go to for sushi, all for a side, and thank me later. ”
“ I love pho and this is in the top 3 best pho I’ve had. I highly recommend. It’s a very good healthy/ fresh option that’s in walking distance from the hotel I was staying at ”
“ Nine of us came here. It’s only a 5 minute walk from our hotel. It was a quiet Wednesday night so we found seats right away. Server came right over and took our drink orders. Decent size menu with very reasonable prices. Good selection of pho which most of us got. My rare beef one was excellent with no need for extra sauces. I would call it a medium to small bowl. I had not eaten all day so I was hungry. I ordered two spring rolls which were good size. Delicious. I had two large hit sakes. Bill came to $57. No problem with separate checks. Very pleasant, friendly service. ”
“ Phở X2 were good with very reasonable price. Chicken wings was good. Chicken with rice was good but didn’t come with a cup of broth. Beef with rice was just ok. Should not serve sushi in Vietnamese restaurant. Will come back. Family if 4. The whole bill was $78 not including tip. ”
