Upscale hipster coffee and food spot. All of the pastries look excellent! Customer service is great as well. The coffee was delicious. The chicken slider is decent. It could be better and be great! They need a crispier breading and some spice to the flour. The glazed beignets are good but the whole beignet isn't glazed. Overall, the place is clean and the people who work here are cool.

Came here with my family and I got to try the jambon and the viet coffee with ube cold foam. The coffee was absolutely delicious and the ube flavor was so good ! My brother couldn’t stop eyeing my sandwich lol. The pecan cinnamon roll was spectacular and for the price, the food portions are quite large! We all left having eaten a little too much. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is the ham and cheese filled croissants are not made to order and are simply toasted so my parents mentioned that the inside was a bit cold still. Would go again if we’re ever in town!

A newer spot for New Orleans to explore. Made the trek across the bridge because I heard great things about the King Cakes. The brioche traditional was amazing, but the Parisian (croissant-style) cake when warmed up in a microwave for 30 seconds is magnificent.

Visited this bakery during a recent trip to New Orleans and it did not disappoint. I visited during breakfast hours but they have an all day menu for lunch and dinner too that includes plate dinners, sandwiches, and salads. I ordered donuts and a selection of pastries during my visit. The donuts were light, and airy and not overly dense like some bakeries sale so they were very good and did not last long. I also bought a few croissants and a cinnamon roll and they were good too. When I arrived, the bakery was already out of several flavors of donuts, which I would have liked to try. I am not sure if they would restock those or not but it would have been nice to get some of those but perhaps it is a testament to how good the place is. I enjoyed my food and would visit again.

I heard about these donuts from a client. He said they were the best donuts he ever tasted So I had to try them And they did not disappoint. Definitely the best donut ever😃 The place is really nice also. I will have to go back to try some of their food. Love this place 10 out of 10 I definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice chill spot with hella options. The Vietnamese coffee is excellent and I love the choices of cold foam they have, the ube one is not too sweet and has the perfect aftertaste with the Vietnamese brew. Their garlic fried rice special is divine with the crispy chicken thigh and a dab of Chin-Su hot sauce (available at their condiment bar). Definitely coming again to try more pastries and sips!

Delicious. Friendly staff, plenty of seating. It was crazy busy but the staff was efficient at getting all the food and bev out so the wait wasn't long. The traditional bao, matcha latte, and pecan cinnamon roll were insanely delicious. I wish they weren't hidden away on the Westbank but they're definitely worth the trip across the river! Update: I find something new to love every time I come here

I tried it out a few weeks ago. They have a very friendly and inviting atmosphere. It was busy and I was not used to the menu items. I saw fried chicken on their window ad and thought I would try. I could not decide what to get once I got inside. The dish I inquired about and chose was unique. Some sort of rolled sticky rice with different meats. It was heavy with onions.

Dough Nguyener's is 1 block from my home which makes it easy to enjoy all the good items that they have to offer. Just look at my pictures that I posted of all the pastries and Banh Mi sandwiches available here. During Mardi Gras season you can special order King Cakes which are pretty good. The fried chicken and hot honey sliders are legit as well. Just give at least 20 minutes for the fried chicken as it's cooked to order. The service here is awesome, parking is easy just across the street. The dining and restrooms are always clean. You order your food at the counter and then it's delivered to your table. You can also create an account their website for pickup or catering options. Enjoy and eat local!

Dough Nguyner is an absolute gem! We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and were blown away by the food and overall experience. The hot honey chicken sliders were out of this world and not really "hot", even though I wouldn't have been mad because I like spicy food. They were juicy, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. Pairing them with the hand-cut fries and garlic aioli made for a perfect meal and it actually kept me full all day. To top it off, I ordered an iced matcha latte, and it was so refreshing. I couldn't resist grabbing a strawberry tart to go, and I'm so glad I did. It tasted just like a strawberry shortcake. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town!

I personally think this place is very overrated. Every time I've gotten anything from here it's been, quite honestly just terribly executed. This time we got a croissant sandwich, and it was burnt, scrambled eggs were also overcooked and very dry. We also got the pecan cinnamon roll, which was again extremely disappointing. The pecan filling was delicious, but the roll itself was SO overcooked, it was very dry hard and dry. I got an iced vietnamese iced coffee last time, and I thought it was terrible. However, I've never had this kind of coffee anywhere else, so it's definitely possible I just don't like this kind of coffee. I can't remember what kind of food I got last time, but I remember feeling equally disappointed. Feels like it should taste a lot better, the food is just never cooked well. This place is unreasonably expensive for the quality of the food. They do give huge portions though, so I'll give them that.

This is such an innovative, well-run operation! I'm so glad we can have some nice things on the Westbank! Their assortment of grab-and-go baked goods includes fun flavored cookies, cupcakes, sweet and savory crossaints, tarts, cakes, and of course, donuts. I went in the shop to place a king cake order and the process was super efficient; the staff member completed a form for me with my preferences and I paid. (I got the traditional brioche cake and can't wait to try!) Of course I had to grab some items to try, and I got a couple donuts, a spinach croissant, and garlic noodles. DEF give the noodles a try...they're garlicky, umami, and a tinge sweet. I loved the croissant and will be trying another savory flavor next time. I saw avacado bread coming out of the kitchen and it looked amazing...I've got to try the dine-in experience soon. The space is huge for dining and for bringing your laptop and getting done work done! This spot is a must-try!

This spot really comes in clutch when I end up on the W-ank weekend morning and I need a good coffee. I love their options for us dairy-free folks. Everyone who works here is super nice and they are always great at suggesting new items when I want to switch it up. The space itself is really nice and gives you that real community feel.

It's a coffee shop with a variety of donuts, pastries and lunch! Everyone is nice here, it's a very cozy environment, I think they have a nice Lunch menu, and the coffee is good & strong (not pictured but I did have one).

I don't typically give 5 stars and I never give any star that isn't earned!!! These folks deserve every star given. This is a cute little spot in Metairie and it's super clean and convenient. They serve doughnuts and other pastries along with some breakfast and lunch items. They also have a nice drink menu. I've been a few times and I'll be a repeat customer as long as I live here. Today I got Vietnamese coffee which is delicious! I also got the berry toast which is filling, delicious, and nutritious! It's covered in fresh berries....blueberries are firm and not mushy (I don't like mushy fruit). I've also had their baguette before which you need in your life if you're a carb lover like me. Today I also did garlic rice to eat later! Everything is cooked to order and the service is superb!!

A cute little bakery with excellent breakfast and lunch options! The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were fresh and delicious. It's a great space for a lunch for two, but it is cozy inside and it can get crowded during rush hours. I'll probably get takeout next time because of this.

Amber W.

Yelp
The Bahn mis are incredible here. The bread is what makes the sandwich. We tried 3 different sandwiches (I can't remember which ones ) and the American breakfast. All were tasty and I loved the fries. I need to come back to try their pastries.

Went here solo for a sweet little birthday lunch on Thursday. It's more than a bakery although my sweet tooth thinks that is the best part. They have sandwich's, small & big plate meals, a variety of coffee and teas, and don't forget the pastries. Ordering is easy and customer service is always on point here. There's plenty of seating inside or on the patio. It's such a cute bakery!! I had the shrimp tempura rolls, matcha iced tea, pandan cupcake and my ultimate fav pandan cookie. Don't judge on the 2 desserts it was my birthday. My food was out in less than 10 minutes and oh so yummy! I sat on the patio to enjoy a delicious meal on a beautiful sunny day! Trust me...GET THE COOKIE!!! :-)

I ran by here for lunch when i was in the area. The lunch food was really good. I had a Shrimp Banh Mi sandwich which was pretty good. I also ordered the Szechuan noodles which were spicy and delicious. I will definitely go back here again.

Garlic ramen noodles is a great weeknight meal with egg and yr choice of protein (grilled chicken thigh). Egg is the perfect accompaniment.

Finally made it back here! Here's the menu: frozen cafe sua da (one normal and one add mocha) neither pictured, but both great! A pandan cookie (nearly destroyed before I remembered to take a picture), avocado toast, sticky rice (employee recommendation) and a bacon breakfast croissant. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic! We will definitely be back to visit and try more items! Love the ambiance of DN's. It remains a clean and nice environment. Service was great and the employees are so nice. This establishment is doing everything right and will continue to thrive!

This bakery is absolute gorgeous. There are so many food options and pastries to choose from. Everything looked amazing. I wish I could've tried everything. My fiancé and I came on a Sunday morning and it was packed but the line moved pretty fast. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and a few plain croissants and spinach croissants to go. Croissants were warm and fluffy and the breakfast sandwich was big enough for the both of us to share. We also had the hot matcha latte and iced matcha latte. Everything came out perfectly. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the westbank area.

Pleasantly surprised by this cute, "insta-friendly" spot open 7 days a week! We didn't realize there's a huge indoor dining space and was happy to enjoy a lovely dine-in brunch feast. Line moved quickly. There's a few communal high top tables too if you can't get a conventional table. Service extremely friendly and fast. Tables were turning over fairly quickly and staff were quick to clean in between. Crispy shrimp banh mi didn't disappoint!! Bread was PERFECT. And iykyk that's the distinguishing factor between a good and great banh mi. Don't sleep on the egg banhmi though, I was really taken back by the unique seasoning and flavor of the gently folded, fried egg whites. Ube latte at $7 was made of really good Vietnamese coffee, strong chicory as it should be. Last but not least, also got the croiwaffle, which was a croissant-batter waffle topped with a huge helping of mixed fruits, condensed milk and almonds. Never thought of or had anything like this before - very good even though we were stuffed.

This is a great place for a quick bite. There is seating inside and outside. The bakery items look really good, but I was hungry for food food. I couldn't decide between the croffle and the shrimp toast, so I got both and had the sincerely betty cocktail. I enjoyed everything and will be back! The little cheesecake cups are next on my list!

Yelp
What a super cute bakery/diner with a fabulous menu. Every time I'm here I want to try something different because everything on the menu looks amazing. I've had the chicken wings, the meatballs, the shrimp toast and the lettuce wraps. Everything taste great!! I've also had a couple donuts which were pretty standard flavor wise. My go to drinks are a matcha latte and Thai tea and they do both so well. Next time I want to try the frozen Vietnamese coffee. The staff is always helpful and kind. There's a small parking lot adjacent and more across the street.

Food is always good. Staff very friendly and quaint indoor and outdoor dining. I eat here often because the food is very good. They have a good breakfast sandwich as well.

Came here for breakfast and was not disappointed! The hot honey chicken sliders were delicious, they had a great balance between sweet and heat (although it leans more on the sweet side instead of savory, if that matters to you). I also got a sweet cream foam iced cold brew that I loved and is now my favorite place to get this particular style of coffee. The service was quick from time I ordered to time I got my food! The place is also super cute to sit down and enjoy the food, would definitely come back again!

Criselda C.

Yelp
The service is exceptional! I ordered Oatmilk with Strawberry flavor and rainbow jelly, something that is not on the menu, and the drink was made really well. And when I came back two days later to order the same thing, there were no fuss in making me a custom drink. While ordering for a picky kiddo, the employee helped me figure out how to customize the chicken sandwich to something dry so that it would pass the toddler test. And it did! Having eaten from here three times, the savory foods I've tried have all been great. I love their sandwiches! Their beignets are gigantic and snowy (even good as a leftover heated lightly in the oven). The ube cheesecake was a bit pricey, but was so good.

Finally got to stop by yesterday and y'all. My life is changed. This was the best banh mi I've EVER had!!!! I got the xiu mai banh mi, which was Vietnamese meatballs in ragu, and I almost cried. I was in actual heaven. I loved it so much I came back today to try some bakery items. Same thing. Delicious!!! The staff is SO friendly and sweet and helpful. If you're wanting to try something new, they will help you pick the right thing and offer recommendations to get you where you want to be with zero judgment. Y'all HAVE to try this place. Next time you're on the West Bank, make sure you take the time to stop by, even if it's via drive thru!

Just left there, terrible customer service. Wasn't greeted by the staff member when I pulled up to the drive through window. Only greeted by a blank face and a hand held out for my card. Donuts took a few minutes to come out, barely heard the girl mumble "sorry" then gave us the donuts and immediately shut the window. Donuts were okay, good size. Not a terrible price either. Would not return.

Jennifer K.

Yelp
Very nice restaurant atmosphere, decor, design, and ambiance. The donuts and cinnamon bun are huge, fluffy, moist, and delicious! The other food looks incredible and large portions. The service was good. I had their king cake before they opened the store front and I've been craving it since, it was so good! I really like this place and will come back.

We were looking for Asian food during our NoLa trip after having our fill of soul food and this place was a -Nguyener-. We got the banh mi (it's very big and the pricing reflects that), rocket shrimp, iced ube latte, and a small box of goodies to go like the pandan cookie (great texture and flavor). Aside from the hip interior, the entire menu was delightful too! Loved the puns and loved the food. They have clean restrooms and their own parking lot as well, so no need to cruise for a spot.

Cierra L.

Yelp
Decided to try Dough Nguyener on two different occasions because my first visit wasn't so great....neither was my second visit. The food was ok. The spinach croissant was probably the best thing I had. If they had cheese in the croissant I'm not sure but if they did but if they would have I think that's what would have sent it over the top. The boba drink was ok but I felt like it was missing something. The croissant bread is really good. It's very flaky and not doughy like most bread however I was not a fan of the ham and cheese. This place gets extra points because they have a drive thru and I love me a place that's easy and convenient. The service - subpar. The person working the window, both day, not really sure if she's the person who served me both days, her attitude was very unwelcoming.

I love supporting local businesses and especially if they can do Vietnamese coffee justice. I tried Pandan cold foam iced Viet coffee and it was delish! I like the modern twist while honoring and staying true to the original phin Vietnamese coffee. I got the ube and pandan cookies, they were good- did not change my life because I grew up with these flavors but thanks for putting these flavors out to the people. The cashier and barista were very friendly and helpful. One thing I hope will change is not closing the kitchen 30min prior to closing time. Since I came closer to closing time, I was told it was buy one get one free for the cinnamon rolls. That's pretty awesome.

Teira R.

Yelp
Cons: I was excited to try them and went into work late to grab a dozen for my office. However, the donuts were entirely too high to taste so mediocre. Prices for everything here is extremely expensive really, my coffee was $8.50. They were not soft and were not enjoyable. I ordered the fancy donut dozen for an additional $5 and they piled it up with jelly and chocolate donuts (literally the same donut -_-) after I told them to give me an assortment plus 7 I picked out personally. I called to tell them about this and was only told "I'll let them know." No apology or anything... Pros: The Vietnamese iced coffee with matcha and the Vietnamese meat pie are delicious. My coworker said the cinnamon was really good. The interior is absolutely beautiful! I'm definitely upset about the jelly donuts...

Chelle L.

Yelp
I was so excited to have this place finally open! I've had the chance to come a couple of times now during their soft opening but so far it's been okay. The inside is pretty cool with their more modern look but it feels so small and cramped for the customer side. The tables inside are close together and the walkway to get to any of them made me feel a little claustrophobic; I opted to sit outside both times. Thankfully the weather worked out both days but probably won't be so nice in the summer. The food was good but I wasn't as happy with it as I had hoped. I've only gotten banh mi sandwiches both times but different ones. The bread is smaller than your typical Vietnamese bread, which I didn't mind, but it was too crunchy that made the banh mi harder to eat. I also love pate and butter and lots of it, but they seemed a little stingy on the butter. It shocked me that only a couple sandwiches come with pate and that it's a $4 add on! I wasn't amazed at either sandwich but it felt worse at those prices. The coffee is delicious and the donuts aren't bad either, but again, just a bit pricier than I was expecting. I'll be back to visit this place again, I'm sure. I'm hoping to try other menu items but with these prices, I don't think I'll be too adventurous or be a regular. And I don't plan to do sit down very often inside either.

Yelp
Great little Cafe/bakery if you like Bahn mi give this place a try! I had the frosted bengiets, grilled chicken Bahn mi, and Vietnamese coffee. I loved all of it and they have an array of other goods! I will definitely be going back for more!

Samantha C.

Yelp
Love the Asian inspired flavors. Tried the ube crinkle cookie and the pandan crinkle cookie. For donut, I tried the cafe sua da donut (viet coffee). My favorite is by far their donuts. It was so soft and fluffy without it being overly sweet.

Joslyn A.

Yelp
Well the service was efficient. The ambiance was nice. The peanut butter cookie was a peanut butter cookie nothing special The coconut sticky rice with Chinese sausage was scorched, I picked around it to find edible pieces of meat. The chicken was dry. The plate it was served on was cracked in two places. I would have complained but I was on a time crunch and didn't trust the replacement meal would have been better. Quite disappointed in the food. The picture is of what was left on my plate right before I left. The Coke Cola was good I had read about this bakery and was excited to try it. Welllllll I have to go back to Gretna but this will not be on my agenda for a food choice.

Lauren K.

Yelp
Tons of options to choose from inside- donuts, cheesecake, filled croissants, coffees, drinks, plus you can order plate food. We practically enjoyed everything we tried, the donuts weren't our favorite but they weren't bad- just not our preference. The breakfast sandwich & Vietnamese coffee is great! My husband loved their cheesecake. I would suggest starting with the breakfast sandwich if you've never been. It is a bit pricey, but it is such a nice place- clean, great location, nicely decorated, friendly service. I'd recommend!

Kassidy D.

Yelp
Definitely a hidden gem. I'm so glad we stopped here for lunch. Everything was excellent, especially the bahn mi. I'll definitely be going back to try out some other menu items.

Dough Nguyener is sooooo cute! I love the location and that they have a parking lot. The inside is bright and inviting and the staff is welcoming. I thought that it was just a bakery, but once I made my way to the counter I was a little overwhelmed with the amount of options there were. They had sandwiches, salads, fried chicken, and more in addition to their pastries. I was short on time, so I just opted for a croissant. I'm happy that's all I ended up getting because it was HUGE! I wouldn't have had room for anything else. It was buttery, flakey and soft like any good croissant, but man it was massive, lol. I can't wait to come back and try out some other items. I sat on the patio; it was shaded and a little quieter than the main dining room. I will say that for such a large building the dining room is on the smaller side and a little tough to navigate, but not uncomfortably so. There's also a drive-thru for when you just want to grab and go!

Yelp
This place has been on my radar for a good minute, and I'm glad I had an opportunity to try this place! I would definitely come back here to order the fried chicken because it's so darn juicy and astounding along with other snack pastries! Here's what I ordered: 1. nguyener! nguyener! chicken dinner: whole fried chicken with szechuan noodles, kim chi, baked mac & cheese, traditional coleslaw, baguette, house garlic dipping sauce. The fried chicken is the bomb.com. The sides, though, were decent 2. ube cold foam iced viet coffee & pandan cold foam iced viet coffee & fruit tea (I believe). 3. Cinnamon roll. (Favorite) 4. Ube & Pandan cookies (favorite). #tonylameats #gretnala #doughnguyeners #doughnguyenersbakery #nola #neworleansfood #neworleansla #vietnamesefood #bakery

This place is really nice. The doughnuts and breakfast are delicious. Top notch. We went there for the second time tonight and had their Ngyuner Ngyuner Chicken Dinner, which takes around 20-30 minutes to prepare. It was WELL worth the wait. Comes to the table as an entire deep fried chicken with thick crispy coating. Absolutely delicious. Helps to know how to cut a chicken up! The sides were also good, cole slaw, good mac and cheese and some spicy flat noodles as well as some pickled vegetables to balance the rich fried chicken. It was enough for at least two more meals. A total bargain for $40.

Great pastries and fantastic service! We had a Nutella stuffed croissant, passion fruit tart, I believe a blueberry cream cheese danish and a mini cheesecake.

Nguyener Nguyener Chicken Dinnnahh! New bakery/restaurant in town featuring all in house baked pastries and bread but they even make Vietnamese dishes too! We have here a couple of their croissants & cookies; their versions croissants are a bit denser than some of the airy styles, still good nonetheless! But we came back for a second time in a week to try out their breakfast menu: Almond Berry Toast & Vietnamese Xoi Lap Xuong! Service was great, everyone was in a good mood and very attentive! Definitely swing by @phidingthefam

Awesome Bahn Mi, Salads and Baked Goods! Love the drive thru and take out options. In house dining is also a great option with competent service.

I visited on the Sunday of their soft opening weekend (3/19/23). I really wanted to love this place because of all the hype that surrounded it, but sadly I was a bit disappointed. Although I have many negatives, I'll start with the positives first. To start off, the outside and inside looked so neat and old school! It reminded me of a 1950s diner, but with a modernized twist. There were also good amounts of available parking, which I am grateful for especially in an area like old Gretna. Lastly, their baguettes ($3 each) were so fresh! Apparently, they make fresh batches of them daily, and I can believe it after tasting them! Now, unfortunately, on with the negatives... I bought a "Nguyener" Special Banh Mi ($14), which is a Vietnamese- style sandwich with cold cuts and veggies, and the quality did not match the price at all. They didn't have a lot of cold cuts and veggies in the Banh Mi and barely added butter and pate to the sandwich; to sum it up, they were stingy with the ingredients. As for the taste, it was just okay to me. It tasted good, but nothing special. Also, I thought the sizing would be big for $14, but I was wrong. It was the average size of a $6 Banh Mi. Look, I don't mind paying $14, but I believe that the quality has to match the price, and this sandwich didn't do that for me. I also got three of their coffee drinks with all large sizes: the Ube Cold Foam Iced Viet Coffee ($7.95), the Black Sesame Iced Latte ($6.95), and the Iced Vietnamese Egg Coffee ($8.50). To be honest, I felt like their Ube Cold Foam coffee and their Egg coffee tasted the same. I didn't taste any Ube or Egg in either of those coffees. Yes, the coffee was still strongly good since it was still Viet coffee, but what's the point in paying more for one than the other if they both taste the exact same? I feel like the reason was probably that the Ube & Egg foams were too thick, so maybe that's why the flavors didn't sink into the coffee. Hopefully, they can fix this in the future. As for their Black Sesame latte, I did taste the black sesame flavor, but only at a minimal rate; it felt watered down. All three coffees tasted good, but again, the quality did not match any of the prices in my opinion. Lastly, and most importantly, I need to mention the service. Now, the young employees were nice. They were patient with me when I ordered. I also gave them the benefit of the doubt because it was only their soft opening and it was also packed at the time; HOWEVER, I cannot let an employee at a higher level ignoring a simple question from a customer slide! The person who went with me asked the lady with a white sweater and glasses at the counter (I'm assuming that she's the manager or someone at a higher level) a question in Vietnamese, "How much is that bag of bread loaf?" The person who went with me asked politely in Vietnamese because she's limited in English and was just simply curious about the price. The lady simply ignored her, pretending not to speak Viet. This saddens me because we came to Dough Nguyener's Bakery to support their small business as part of the Vietnamese community, yet we felt so unwelcomed by someone from our own ethnicity. It was like she was embarrassed to have a Vietnamese customer. I didn't go lower than 3 stars because they didn't officially open yet; it was just their soft opening. Dough Nguyener's Bakery has time to improve. I will still give them one more chance, but only if they fix their problems. I still wish them the best.

Ok this is from a tuesday early afternoon point of view. Definitely recommend for a chill cafe sip and read spot. One of the staff was welcoming and warming. Clean seating both inside and outside on their patio. For sip I ordered a medium hot matcha latter with oat milk 4/5 -1point for milk alternative being a $1 extra but it was good the matcha flavor was much mild and creamy not gritty. Also picked up a warmed spinach and artichoke croissant 5/5 tastes like a beautiful flaky pizza. I will be back to try more of their desserts and drinks.

I had a friend in town during Jazz Fest. The first three places we tried were booked for brunch. Even though it was Passover week, I called this restaurant--desperate for a place with memorable food. They had room at the bar and a table opened up after we ordered. I ended Passover a day early and had an excellent breakfast sandwich. My friend had one of the sandwiches I had never tried and a couple of the donut varieties. She swooned over everything. In fact she called a colleague at Tulane while we were there and recommended the restaurant. The atmosphere was friendly and we were not rushed to finish.

Today I had a cappuccino and a chocolate muffin. The cappuccino was very good. The muffin was very good. The best part of the muffin was the frosting. I bought a cinnamon roll as well but have not eaten that. But it's gigantic

So happy to finally have a Vietnamese-French bakery on the westbank. The menu have a great selection. I had to try it all. The fried chicken was ok. It is not bad but it did not compete well with the other menu items. It is really crispy and the sauce that it came with is ok. The mac and cheese side was pretty good. Like how cheezy it is. The green Queen is tasty and tasted fresh. The dressing was so Good! Love it. The banh mi chao is amazing! The steak was so tender and the sauce is to die for. They also have two good spread to eat. The shrimp toast was so good and no imitation shit either. The uba foam viet coffee was also quite good. Highly recommend. The service was pretty quick and the staffs are sweet The vibe is clean and modern with a splash of pink.

Very nice bakery in a great location with friendly staff and a large variety of options on the menu, both savory and sweet. I went here because fried chicken is a featured item. I got the whole chicken and it had a really nice fried batter but it was very under seasoned as if basically no prep was done for the meat itself. So the taste is surprisingly bland and that was a bummer. If they just sprinkled salt on the chickens overnight before cooking it would be a much better result in my opinion. It sorta tastes like it came directly from the packaging, then fried up.
