\"namese<\/a>I lived in New Orleans for a long time, and while it has always had some of the greatest restaurants in the country, there was not a great deal of diversity in menus; translation – \u00a0very few\u00a0ethnic places. \u00a0Except for the Vietnamese blocks in New Orleans, it was tough to enjoy these Southeast Asian delicacies, but I’m delighted to say, “fusion Louisiana\/Vietnamese” has spread around the city. \u00a0Couple months ago, I was in one Mo Pho<\/a>, which I really enjoyed.<\/p>\n

This time around it was “namese<\/a>” \u00a0(as in VIETnamese, get it?) at Tulane and Carrolton, just up the street from the giant new hospital complex. \u00a0A smallish restaurant, the food is reminiscent of street vendors and markets in the SE Asian country, with a lot of soup (Pho), small plates (rolls), and Banh Mi sandwiches (which in New Orleans, are commonly known as “Po Boys.”<\/p>\n

I went with the latter, fried shrimp for innards, and spring rolls in a rice wrapper to start. \u00a0Both were excellent. New Orleans is blessed with some really great bakers of French bread (including Vietnamese French), and they surely do make a sandwich. \u00a0The main difference between a traditional po boy and banh mi is the vegetables, with the latter taking on a cool and refreshing air with the addition of cilantro and peppers.<\/p>\n

The food is really superb, wait staff is strong. Give it a try.<\/p>\n

Open Monday – Saturday, 11AM – 10PM<\/p>\n
