Dang's Vietnamese Restaurant

Top choice in Louisiana


Everything at this Vietnamese institution is great, but have a slurp of the pho and you may whisper a prayer to the kitchen gods for favoring you with a broth so flavorful. Honestly, you can't go wrong ordering off the big menu – from crispy duck to bright, beautiful curries, it's all wonderful.
