Jazmine Café - New Orleans, Louisiana

I came here at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. Needless to say not many people here in between meals.

The server was extraordinarily attentive. Probably easier when it’s just me and one other person in the place, but still. And his timing? Flawless. Right when I finished the fascinating rice-noodle salad, the main dish arrived. Right when I finished the main dish, the check was placed on the table. Even though it was just me, he cared about creating a seamless experience.

As for the food, I’m sure the vermicelli noodle salad is a staple among the Vietnamese, but I found it too sweet and saucy for my liking. However…the chicken curry…fantastic. Great presentation, tasted all-around perfect and well-balanced. Enough to fill me up, and I can eat a lot.

Atmosphere: it’s got a bit of a hip vibe to it. I dig it.

All around great experience. (Note - I’d already taken one big chunk of chicken out of the bowl before I took the picture I posted of it. You’ll only fill up on it if you eat it with the included bowl of rice.)

Good selection of sushi and Vietnamese dishes. I very much enjoyed the spicy lemongrass beef noodle soup with a distinctive deep red color. My date got the mushroom glass noodle with vegetarian broth which could have used a tiny bit more spice but that’s probably what you’re expecting when you get vegetarian glass mushroom soup. Overall worth it and worthy of repeat business.

Ordered 2 poke bowl and spring rolls. Spring roll last bite shrimp tasted old and was tough. Poke bowl was terrible. Fish tasted terrible old. Nothing was seasoned. I let waiter know I did not like the bowl. It did not taste good. Chef came out and announced that she made the bowl and nothing was wrong with it. I told her it did not taste good. And she proceeded to tell me nothing was wrong with it and it was going to remain in the bull. I never asked the waiter or her to take anything off my bill. I let her know that got my bill and paid. I will never eat at the restaurant again. Be warned poor service and bad food.

Their menu has many interesting offerings. Had the Seaweed Mango Spring Roll, Spicy Lemongrass Noodle Soup (Bun Bo Hue), Grilled Shrimp (Com Tom Nuong). All were fresh, well-prepared and tasty.

Food was perfect, service was spot on and parking right in front. I hadn't been here in years, still a great spot for vietnamese food. Prices have gone up, but that's how everything is. All good

Worst spring rolls I've had in New Orleans. They are small and the shrimp are not fresh. The shrimp are maybe the size of a quarter. The paper of the spring rolls smells like old water and was too tough to chew. The other appetizer we ordered was stuffed jalapeños which came out drenched in grease. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Poor quality and poor quantity.

Great experience! I had high expectations and they were properly met in a timely manor with quality service from several well trained individuals. Small family owned business with high standards. Nothing negative to add.

Curry I ordered didn’t have hardly any chicken in it whatsoever. Poke bowl was puny, with small portions of everything. Not only that the fish doesn’t look that great. Poke Loa gives you twice as much food and it is always gorgeous and of good quality. Two spring rolls were 8 bucks. Food tastes good but I basically got a bunch of vegetables, curry juice, and rice for 50 bucks. Very chincy. Probably won’t return.
