Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"Just as there's more to pho than boiled beef, there's more to Pho Tau Bay than beef soup. . . .
There's a refinement and eclecticism to much of what Pho Tau Bay serves."
– Brett Anderson, The Times-Picayune
" . . . the area's reigning king of pho."
—Gambit
" . . . this Vietnamese soup specialist sends out its tub-sized broth with beef, noodles, herbs and hot sauce. Don't try to figure out the ‘right' way to eat it; there is no wrong way."
– Tom Fitzmorris, New Orleans City Business
"This is the real thing, and New Orleans is hungry for more."
