Mint Modern Vietnamese

I only been once, and I wasn’t hungry. Price? You paying for the area bc it’s uptown. Regardless I ran in for a quick bite. Picked up beef banh mi, and pretty good so I’ll give it a 5 star. The juice made the bread soggy at the bottom real quick. Note $10 banh mi is high but if I am a college student at Tulane, I wouldn’t drive to New Orleans East to eat. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee, and again pretty solid. Not the best ever, but for a restaurant, it’s better than most places (from Vancouver-Houston-Dallas). Enjoy ppl.

I was about ready to give up on finding good vegan food in New Orleans… then I found MINT Modern Vietnamese Bistro & Bar, and wow — they really came through. The mushroom and tofu pho? Easily the best I’ve ever had — super flavorful, loaded with fresh toppings, and so satisfying. The tofu bánh mì was huge, fresh, and packed with flavor. The tofu and tomato bowl was hearty and filling, and the fried tofu spring rolls? Perfection. The portions are big, the prices are fair, and they have a great variety of vegan options. I’m so glad a place like this exists here — I’ll definitely be back (probably way too often).

We had an amazing experience at Mint Modern Vietnamese in New Orleans! The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. The pho was absolutely incredible—rich, flavorful, and so nourishing after a long day of exploring (and drinking!). We also had the banh mi, which was fresh, packed with flavor, and perfectly balanced. This spot is a must-visit for authentic Vietnamese food in NOLA!

This was a good find. The establishment and staff are both very pleasant. The entree recommendation of the lemongrass chicken was really great. It was delicious. The shrimp summer rolls were unlike any I had ever had before. The cuts of pork were a bit too thick. The roll lacked. Next time I am in town, I will come back to try other menus items.

Very nice place to have lunch. Our meal was exceptional delicious, the server was energetic and attentive. The restaurant has a chic down to earth atmosphere.

We went to Mint Modern for a quick weeknight dinner and it ended up being exactly what we needed. The pho was delicious and really comforting after a long day. Service was quick, and even though it was busy it didn’t feel chaotic at all. Great spot for an early dinner if you want something cozy and want to beat the rush!

We ordered take out. Great portions. The chicken pho , tasty but not my absolute favorite pho it lacked a little savory taste for a chicken pho. The tofu lemongrass w rice was excellent. Totally Shareable. The little side salad they add is really tasty too The shrimp spring rolls were fresh and very stuffed. The shrimp buns also delicious even if they had a bit too much of that mayo sauce. Overall a winner and will return to dine in.

AMAZING pho. Broth is divine. I suggest the NY strip or brisket; the chicken pho broth is delicious, but the chicken itself is dry (to be fair, this tends to be the case with most chicken phos). Fresh (summer) rolls were delicious too. Highly recommend the avocado smoothie. Service is generally quick and very friendly. Laidback, casual vibe. Just a quick note for anyone reading this: the kitchen usually closes 20-30 minutes before the restaurant’s official closing time!
