"Having moved its decade-old Maple Street presence to Metairie (in the space most recently home to YuYan Kitchen), the revamped Ba Chi Kitchen & Bar presents a strikingly chic, modern room with a bar and lounge for cocktails; the menu keeps the specialty bacos while adding permanent oyster dishes, bò né, and plans to introduce Viet-Cajun-style boiled seafood in the spring." - Clair Lorell
"A decade‑old Maple Street Vietnamese staple is moving to Metairie: Ba Chi Canteen will reopen in September as Ba Chi Kitchen & Bar in the space most recently occupied by YuYan Kitchen, adding Viet‑Cajun‑style boiled seafood and a cocktail bar while keeping its specialty bacos; its final day at 7900 Maple Street is July 14." - Clair Lorell
"The menu at this Maple street gem is irresistible, from traditional pho, also with shrimp or chicken, to inventive bacos (bao meets taco with all kinds of fillings), kimchi fries, and banh mi. Insanely good, affordable, and friendly, Ba Chi Canteen is a winner (although plant-based options are scant)." - Beth D’Addono
"This Riverbend favorite for Vietnamese has a number of out-of-the-box specialties it’s known for — soft shell crab “bacos,” kim chi fries, and nacho potstickers, served with sweet and spicy chili sauce, radish, jalapeno, and edamame. Specials will also occasionally include dumplings — like spicy chicken, shrimp and pork, and steamed wontons with chili soy." - Beth D’Addono
"Operated by Phat Vu and Quinn Nguyen of Tan Dinh fame, this is one of the best options for contemporary Vietnamese with lots of specialty items and pork belly dishes. No shock that the pho is fantastic, including vegetarian variations with kimchi and tofu." - Eater Staff
