"This place was amazing. It is really just like back home in New Orleans. The food is delicious. The fried rice isn’t the same but overall is still delicious and the owner is from New Orleans and he is such a nice person. He greeted us. Very well. Felt like home in New Orleans, make sure you come get you some It’s 10 out of 10"

"Best gumbo I've found anywhere local, including homemade! The cajun fries are awesome. The sauces are worth a trip alone. I'll be back.... about 3 times a week."

"Marvin it’s the chef! It’s so good I came back 2x in one day. The guy at the front desk knows almost everyone who walks in the front door! That’s just how many regulars come through! All about spreading Vietnamese flavors on their tasty wings with a side of New Orleans hospitality. This is a RVA GEM!"

"First time eating here. I gave them 2 stars to be generous. They claim to be New Orleans style but Nola doesn't have put po-boys on hoagie buns and half fill them. When you order a po-boy in Nola it is so full it is enough for two...the bread is much longer and is a specially ordered french bread just for Nola po-boys. I ordered Philly cheese steak, a shrimp sandwich, and wings. I dare to call either a po-boy. The cheese steak should have come with cheese, but there was no cheese just some kind of sauce. The wings were ok because they were seasoned but could have been seasoned more. The size of the wings were small. So instead of them using actual wings those were wingetts. For the price these should have been full size wings. That is misleading to say you have wings but you're serving wingetts. The shrimp sandwich had a lot of shrimp but the shrimp didn't have taste and again it was on a hoagie bun. There is a distinct taste to a real po-boy, because of the bread alone. Most of all, I really hate for restaurants to claim they serve a particular type of food and they don't. This is just a tactic to get customers which is their option but don't try to charge an arm and leg when the food isn't what you claim it is. Take it from me this is NOT Nola food because I am a true New Orleanian. You are speaking of the one in the lower 9th ward. I will try it."
