Pho Bistro

I’ve been going to Phở Bistro for about 4 years now, they’re my favorite place around, counting the Nola area. The only other place I’ll go in Phở Bang on the Westbank expressway. The staff is always stellar, food comes out quick & tastes great! I get the number 12 & number 7 as a appetizer. I dip my rolls in the peanut sauce instead of the sweet n sour, give it a try you’ll never have it another way! I also squirt a little Sriracha in the peanut sauce. I love Phở Bistro!

This place brings the freshness & flavor! I’ve really enjoyed the uniqueness of their dishes…
Give the shrimp & pork spring rolls a try.

Picked up phở within 10 minutes of ordering. Phở wasn’t even hot enough to cook the meat. Will not be visiting here again.

While the bowl sizes are a tad smaller than most Phở restaurants on the Coast, the flavor was well worth the trip and might even be worth making the trek out from Gulfport. I had the Phở Dac Biet which is everything and the kitchen sink. The tripe was finely cut and a bit missing but the brisket and flank steak was poured in there to the point that I ran out of noodles.
Service was good and the atmosphere is casual and open. I will be back!!!

Ate there for the first time today at the request of a friend. Food was AMAZING. Service was great, atmosphere is laid back and casual. Very impressed by the food! Definitely will be back!

Stopped in on the way back from Florida. Great atmosphere and comfort food! I had the Phở Dac Biet and it was yum!

Went with my husband for dinner. He ordered phở number 10, which included the meatballs, trife (cows stomach) and tendons. He loved it. I,
However, took his word on the trife.
I ordered the phở tai, which was WONDERFUL!
And for dessert, we tried the avocado tapioca smoothie. It was delish, except I wasn’t too sure about the tapioca beads, they were kind of gummy. I guess that is what they are supposed to be like though. Will order it without them next time.
We loved this little phở restaurant and will definitely be back!

Loved the food! The place is very casual and clean. Went there for dinner with my husband. We both got two different kind of rolls and two bowls of phở. The rolls were pretty big and each portion came with 3 rolls, very yummy and very filling. The total was around 30 dollars + tip. I must say, it was a nice surprise and we will go back for sure.

Love the fresh spring rolls with crispy pork! And won ton soup is delish. Phở with beef spectacular. Love this place!

We have been to Phở Bistro twice now and have enjoyed it each time! I have tried the chicken and beef phở and both were great! They give you a lot of condiments on the side so you can really make it your own. My husband tried a rice and a noodle dish and loved them both. I enjoyed the coconut bubble tea, but he didn’t. We also got the spring rolls once and the eggrolls the second time we went. Both are excellent! If you are looking for something new to try I recommend this place!

we have been here to eat a few times in the past. We were pleased. Can’t remember what we had I know I had bubble tea. I’m thinking next time I’m in town I’ll just get some bubble tea. Been craving some for a long time. This is only the second Vet restraint I have ever been to the other was a Buffett in Gulfport and I liked it too. So I’m not an expert.

Everything was good, you just don’t get much. Don’t ask for extras because you’ll get charged for it weather you get it or not. I am glad I tried this place coming from the west side of the parish. I just rather go a little further across the twin span into New Orleans East to get more for my money.

Visited Phở Bistro for the first time today and I plan to go back weekly whenever I can. I live in Bogalusa and I will not mind the drive at all because the food was exceptionally good.
The service was friendly and fast and the Bun Bo Hue came out piping hot accompanied by a very fresh set of condiments, which were also plentiful so I never ran out of anything.

All about number 1, 10 and the wife like the 14. she doesnt like all the extras like tripe.

The guy was nice and friendly. The service was prompt. The place was clean and roomy. The food was edible, not bad but not great. The broth for phở was good, but stay away bun bo que (it was very bland and without huyet). The special spring rolls were… well special… it had shrimp and chinese sausage (very odd), still edible though. It’s a good quick phở-​fix.

I found Phở Bistro after taking the Cajun Encounters swamp tour which was nearby.
Parking is private so no worries and they offer Chinese food to.
I ordered the beef and meatball Phở which was legit. I’m from So Cal so I’ve tasted my share of Phở and Phở Bistro was solid. The condiments size was generously fresh, broth was yummy and the quantify of meat was generous.
Service here was decent and straight to the point. If you’re in the area and in need of a Phở fixing — Phở Bistro won’t disappoint.

What do you get when you combine used golden Chinese restaurant entrance post lions and a rural L-​shaped strip mall vibe? Phở Bistro! Ever since my wife introduced me to Kim Son on the Westbank, I’ve been in love with Vietnamese food. And ever since Saigon Noodle met its unfortunate demise, we’ve craved local Phở and all the grand accompaniments. Well, now we have them!
I’ve eaten here many times and it is always good. Recently, I’ve especially liked the Com Suon Nuong Trung Cha Gio (grilled pork chop with fried egg and steamed rice) The chop is served perfectly cooked and mixing the warm egg yolk and rice into each other as a chaser makes every bite count.
All of the Phở dishes are fresh and inviting and as is typical of most Vietnamese places, the proportions are huge. Nothing says yum quite like a warm bowl of Phở Nam Bo Vien particularly on days when the icy wet cold winds come shooting up from the Ponchartrain.
The Bubble Tea drinks are fantastic. My personal favorite is the coconut. No one can come within three feet of me when I have one or they may lose a limb. Be sure you remember that the tapioca balls are in there though, or you may wind up gagging like a just groomed feline.
The service can be up and down, but nothing disturbing. Lately, they have stepped that up by having a very friendly young lady working the floor. Even when I’ve had slow service it has always been courteous.
The décor is leftover from the previous Chinese food occupants and only adds to the funky strip-​mallness of the place. To change it would be to lose something I think. Part of some restaurant’s sweetness is the funky way that things seem out of place. I like the fact that sometimes I feel as though I’ve been transported into an old A&G Cafeteria from mid 1970’s Metairie until the freshness of cilantro leaf hits my palate and reminds me of where I truly am.
Hail Phở Bistro! I pray you do well for years to come.

Came here for dinner and was greeted with a smile (probably because I’m Asian –lol– and there’s not many around this area). Ordered taro boba and spring rolls (#1 on the menu) to start off. The bubble tea was made well (blended to a smoothie consistency and not too sweet) with the boba having a lil more chew to it than I’m used to. The spring rolls (good size, fresh, and wrapped well) were really good along with the peanut sauce (good consistency and not watery). Ordered #21 (a rice vermicelli dish with lemongrass chicken) and was pleasantly surprised with the nicely seasoned and not over cooked chicken. The fish sauce that comes with the dish wasn’t as pungent as I’d like, but I’m not too picky as the flavor was still there.
The price and portion of food was fair and comparable to other Viet places I’ve eaten at in Florida (where I’m from).
Would come here again. :)

Phở Bistro serves as the new location just blocks away from the closed down restaurant Saigon Noodle. The atmosphere is typical of a Vietnamese restaurant: lots of gold statues out front, very simple table set ups with the usual condiments. The people that work there are always excited to see us since we are Vietnamese and greet us warmly.
If you’re looking for bubble teas, Phở Bistro serves them! They can hit the spot on hot days and I always have one with my phở. My best recommendation is da chanh (fresh limeade) but I haven’t ordered on from here yet as I always order my bubble tea.
For an appetizer we usually have Goi Cuon Tom (rice paper spring rolls with shrimp) served with the traditional peanut hoisin sauce. The rolls are fat and yummy and never disappoint.
The phở isn’t too bad. It still has all the flavors of traditional Vietnamese phở. Since I first came they have improved and expanded their menu. The Phở Bistro Dac Biet (phở with everything) now actually comes with all the bells and whistles: tendon, tripe, bo vien (beef meatballs), and bo tai (thinly sliced beef). Since the change I am definitely more excited to have a weekly fix of Phở Bistro. But now instead of just your staple dishes they expanded their menu to include more hu tieu (glass noodles) bun (vermicelli) and other great dishes seen on larger Vietnamese menus.
The service is great. They have a regular girl now who is younger and she is spectacular. She remembered my drink order (strawberry bubble tea with green apple jelly) the second time she served us. Unlike most other vietnamese places, drinks will make it to the table BEFORE your food does (many times in different places I WILL have all my food and then my drink comes). Bear in mind I am used to the usual system: order, get your food, no complaints, pay at the register without waiting for your bill. That’s just the way most Vietnamese restaurants work. But I do think they try to hand you the bill if you’re «American» (no offense there just saying). They try harder to please the clientele in Slidell.
Prices are very reasonable. We normally order two bubble teas, an appetizer and two bowls of phở and it comes out to be around 30 bucks. That’s not bad to be full and satisfied. Phở and some other dishes range around $ 6.99 to $ 7.99 normally.
If you’re going to eat phở in Slidell, this is probably the place to go. I think actually it is the ONLY one!
*Edited review after I have eaten more numerously

This place had just opened a couple of days before I ate here. The first time I ate here I had the Phở Tai Nam and two days later I came back and ordered the Phở Bistro Dac Biet which is a beef soup with pieces of steak, brisket and meatballs. Both Phở were very delicious! I also had the spring rolls and the regular fried egg rolls. The Spring rolls were very good, the regular fried egg rolls were okay, probably because I don’t usually like fried foods as much.
If you’ve never had phở, make sure you ask the waitress what to add to the soup. There is an oil and a red hot sauce that should go into it. The portions are generous. This is a good restaurant for Vietnamese food. As long as I’m staying in Slydell, this will be a weekly stop for me.
