"05/28/2024: I always attempt to order/get Vietnamese food when I travel just to experience what it tastes like in that particular locale. I’m in NOLA for work and spotted Pho Tau Bay nearby with good reviews. I think it was at 4.6 when I looked them up on Google. I order a couple of dishes for dinner and work lunches. I got pho, banh mi, goi cuon, and xoi The pho had no aromatic or beefy flavors. It barely tasted like pho. The meat, noodles, and veggies were all standard. The broth was terribly disappointing. The xoi was okay and nothing particularly special. The banh mi was lacking meat, but the pate was surprisingly the tastiest part. The tofu goi cuon was also standard. I really liked the hoisin/peanut sauce. The food overall was mediocre and I would not go or order from Pho Tau Bay. I wanted to bring my work colleagues to this spot since it’s close to my work, but that is not going to happen. Also the prices were WAY HIGH. I don’t want to even say how much I paid with tip. I did appreciate the food arriving fast and packaged well."
