Came here for a Saturday lunch with a friend. I have always seen this place driving through Chalmette and I would have never guessed that it was a Vietnamese restaurant! After walking in, we were happily greeted by a server and seated at a table. There were so many things to choose from, so we ended up ordering a good amount of food! We ordered Crab Rangoons, Vietnamese Egg Rolls (Cha Gio), Pan-Seared Cubed Steak Rice Plate (Com Bo Luc Lac), Sautee Lemongrass Beef Rice Plate (Com Bo Xao), and the Beignets (Bite Sized option).
The food came out in a timely manner and everything looked good. Both appetizers were good, but I preferred their Crab Rangoons. The Egg Rolls were your average Vietnamese egg rolls, but I liked how they provided sweet chili sauce instead of fish sauce. Just my personal sauce preference. There were 4 egg rolls for just 4 bucks, you can't beat that! Both of our rice dishes came included with an egg, which we appreciated. It did not come with a bowl of broth like other Vietnamese restaurants though. Both of our dishes were similar, with the only differences being the cuts of meats used. I had Com Bo Xao and it was good, but the cubed steak from my friend's dish was delicious! We had the mini Beignets for dessert and they were actually pretty good. I felt like we couldn't have passed up getting beignets at a place that includes it in their name!
Overall, a solid place for Vietnamese food and beignets! It's the only Vietnamese restaurant in Chalmette and the prices are affordable. I will be back to try other menu items.
