PHO TAU BAY

Previously located in Gretna and now across the street from Louisiana State University's medical school, this Vietnamese restaurant is considered one of the best in New Orleans. Unsurprisingly, pho soups are the focus here, and their broth simmers quietly for eight hours, giving them an exceptional taste. Spring rolls are always fresh daily, and banh mi sandwich lovers will be in heaven here. Also on the menu: various rice dishes and vermicelli bowls, veggie dishes, etc.
