"Ba Mien in New Orleans East is where you can get Vietnamese dishes you won’t find elsewhere in or around the city. Yes, phở, vermicelli, and spring rolls are on the menu. But we’re talking about things like nem nướng khánh hòa, a roll-your-own dish of grilled pork paste, fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and tropical fruits. Or, the bánh cuốn thịt nướng, which consists of steamed rice rolls stuffed with grilled pork with peanut sauce. There’s almost no better breakfast move than hanging out in their big, casual dining room with any of the above dishes and a French-dripped coffee with condensed milk." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry

"There’s great Vietnamese food all over the city, but it’s particularly excellent in Michoud and Village de l'Est. That’s where you’ll find Ba Mien, which is perfect for a hot or iced chicory coffee with condensed milk and Vietnamese dishes that you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Yes, they’ve got pho, cold noodle salads loaded with peanuts and fish sauce, and rice plates, but it’s the banh cuon thit nuong, or steamed rice rolls with grilled pork, and DIY spring rolls that really set this place apart. The casual dining room could probably fit multiple brass bands, so there's plenty of space for you and your friends when you need some food ASAP." - megan braden perry
"One of the go-tos in New Orleans East, Ba Mien is a strip mall joint with a menu that delivers traditional Vietnamese flavors and lots of options. There’s tripe in some pho — which isn’t always offered — and banh cuon, or steamed rice flour rolls (think feather-light Vietnamese manicotti), stuffed with grilled pork, a Saigon specialty." - Beth D’Addono
