                                            One of our favorite meals in New Orleans! Delicious and creative food, not heavy, everything fresh, excellent vegetarian options. Loved everything we had: tofu bun, cucumbers, green beans, veg curry, veg pho. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Our server, Brandi, was very friendly and helpful. Would eat here at least weekly if we lived in town.

                                            The food was good and the service was good. The amount of protein in the Pho is a little small and I was sad that they no longer offer the tofu vindaloo bites.

                                            Been dying to try this place and it exceeding our expectations. The soft buns with hot sausage were *close your eyes and chewing* kinda moment. My bf order another batch! Need to go back when it’s cooler and try the pho and wings! Maybe even sit outside it looks cute in the back!

                                            Mopho used to be staple for us. We loved the green beans and cucumbers. We have gone twice lately and the food was abysmal. Chicken wings undercooked. Green beans no longer delicious. They r putting a mila like chili crunch on the cucumbers but it’s just not as good. That being said Cocktails are still delicious. It’s really a bummer

                                            I have been to mofo twice in the last two weeks and was absolutely delighted. The food was excellent and I had the same server both times who was knowledgeable, competent and efficient. I did not feel it all rushed and he very much knew the menu and the wines. One of my new favorite places.!

                                            What a fantastic meal! Took my husband and son for Fathers Day. I had the corn and bacon laksa. Delish! Their fish and chips and the pork chopped cheese were even better! I believe Michael was our waiter. He was great!
