This place is so close to home but probably my least favorite phở place around town. Not yummy.

This is my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious and the menu is extensive meaning that everyone in your party can find a dish that they’ll love. While the service is sometimes slow, it is well worth any wait. Usually if I need something urgently, I’ll go up to the counter and the person there is more than happy/able to help with whatever I need. I would HIGHLY recommend any baco on the menu as they’re unbelievably tasty and you won’t find them many other places. I usually order 2 for lunch and 3 for dinner, preceded by some kimchi fries and brussel sprouts.

Needed a quick fix for my Phở Ga craving without driving«all the way» out to Lilly’s. Ba Chi Canteen was the wrong choice and won’t be repeated. To start, I unwrapped my Go container to find a mound of dark meat hidden by a few slices of white chicken meat. Not what I wanted, or expected. The broth also tasted… off. Neither myself or my roommate came close to eating half, and we LOVE phở. Pork egg rolls came 2 to an order, slim, and very much overcooked. +Two stars for the pleasant staff though!

This is my favorite casual restaurant in NOLA, and I’m unashamed. Consistently so so yummy. I love that it’s BYOB and that they’re so accommodating to large groups if you call ahead. My only minor complaint would be that while service is fast through when you get your food, it can take a really long time to get the check– we usually just go up to the counter to pay when we’re ready to go. My favorites here are the char pork and egg roll vermicelli bowl, the brisket phở, the coconut curry chicken baco, sweet chili tofu anything, and, of course, the kimchi fries. You really can’t go wrong!

Love this place! There’s an overall Asian-fusion flavor profile for most of the dishes that I’ve tried, that is really dialed in for my personal taste. The«Bacos» are a great idea– each one is a fairly unique flavor presentation, so you can keep ordering different ones, and never get tired of the concept. Special favorites are the Lemongrass Pork Lettuce wrap, the Char grilled Pork Baco, and the Brussels Sprout appetizer… but there are so many!

The first time you get the bacos they are magical. Really magical and yummy and honestly I think I’ve tried them all. This is a solid go-to place for me when I have guests in town, just because that first baco experience is so riveting. Overall I have to settle on a 3 stars because their phở isn’t as good I had hoped. The chicken I got was a huge let down. There was a lot of fat connecting dark and white meat to the point where it looked more like sliced mushrooms than chicken. The broth was good, but I have definitely had better. The bacos are what to come for.

HORRIBLESERVICE. honesty food is good but service is so bad it’s not worth it. They barely notice you’re there and take a ridiculous amount of time to get you what you ask for. They also tried to charge each mender of our party of 7 a $ 5 cork charge bc we brought 1 single bottle of wine to the table. Way better options around.

I have only ever gotten take out, and it is amazing. Watch out, when they say something is spicy, they aren’t joking around. Overall, the food is phenomenal. We’ve had(and recommend) the baco’s, spicy lemongrass shrimp, the porkfecta, and the spring rolls. My wife has actually eaten inside and said their service is just as good as the food. They’re always super friendly when I walk in.

Excellent. A great selection of Bacos(Banh Bao). We chose 5 different ones and all were extremely tasty. Also had the Banh Mi sandwich, great as well, along with spring rolls and egg rolls. My new favorite Vietnamese restaurant.

Ba chi canteen is truly one of my favorite spots on maple. They have quite a few vegan and vegetarian options – not to mention they are BYOB! This is the perfect restaurant to go with a group of friends and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend the vermicelli bowls. Pro tip – the portions are large so you can split a vermicelli bowl with a friend and still get a full meal! The spring rolls are especially delicious and they have a bunch of different tofu options. If you’re looking for a casual but yummy restaurant, ba chi is the place for you!

Met a friend here for a dinner. Ordered the beef and brisket phở, and it was very less than spectacular. The broth was too bland. Even after adding lime juice and the various sauces my palate was still searching for that phở flavor that every other phở place I’ve been to has in the broth. The meat had absolutely no flavor either, not sure if bad quality meat or if it was old. Either way, it was not worth my $ 10. The meh food combined with the dingy inside walls means I won’t be coming here again.

Their bacos are definitely the best thing to order on the menu. The fact that they are BYOB makes bachi the move after hitting up happy hour. Fun for friends, dates, and families. The prices are cheap and the food is fantastic.

I love this place. I always get the spicy lemongrass tofu phở, and the bacos are the best I have had(you really can’t go wrong-they are all so good). The Vietnamese iced coffee is delicious. They always have specials and truly know how to create some new and unique flavors that are absolutely incredible. This restaurant’s food simply cannot be duplicated, though it appears as of late that some have tried. Service is not the fastest but always attentive and friendly. I wish they had cocktails.

Hands down best Vietnamese food I’ve ever eaten in my life. I almost didn’t want to write a review because I didn’t want to see my fav restaurant get over crowded but that’d be really selfish of me. If you’ve ever had a baco/sticky bun before just forget about it because it won’t compare to Ba Chi’s bacos. Good god they’re incredible. They have an incredibly diverse selection as well. The creamy spicy shrimp and crispy brisket will literally make you rip your pants off. They’re that good. I recently got the creamy spicy shrimp Bah Mi and it was equally as good. And if the food wasn’t enough already, which it is, Ba Chi has an awesome wait staff. Quit reading and go now!

Good prices good food good drinks Well rounded package. The music is loud so keep in mind it’s not for relaxing times its for lets get some fun memory times. Food is Mexican style obviously but it has a large variety they even have tortas! Which is just a fancy word for sandwich but it is delicious here. The burritos are huge so for those big appetite people you’re in for a treat. Drinks are strong we got the frozen swirls which sounds fruity and whatever’s but it packs a punch. Not usually a tequila fan but I like how the drinks are here. Price is decent entrees around 10 $ or you can just get a taco for about 2.25 $. Drinks are around 10 $ as well. Not bad, especially out with friends you can pre game or post game here. Nice fun atmosphere to be with friends I highly recommend swinging by on the weekends.

Eh, this place was OK. The phở was perfectly fine, perhaps slightly better than Magasin but that’s not really setting the bar all that high. The spring rolls were pretty good with nice pieces of pork belly in each one. I’ve had much better phở in the city and Jefferson Parish. One of the disadvantages to this place is the atmosphere; it’s rather dreary and not in a cozy way, more like a «we haven’t bothered to update anything in 5 years» way. The broth was perfectly acceptable, but they were very stingy with the meat. Come to think of it, I only ended up here because I desperately wanted phở and Phở Bistreaux and Mint were both closed. If this place was in Laplace it would be fantastic, but there are too many places with great phở in this city to make the trip back here.

Ba Chi… I’ve returned with an apology. Over the past couple of months, I have been to your establishment more times than I can count. At first, reluctantly dragged by my boyfriend. But now, I seem to be the one dragging him. Although I still have yet to take the plunge and try your lemongrass chicken wings again, I gave the vermicelli bowl another shot. I swapped out the salt and pepper shrimp for some lemongrass tofu and WOW. I could eat this multiple times a week! It’s super spicy, flavorful, and there is absolutely no lack of tofu in this dish! Things also seem to blend together more easily with the extra lemongrass sauce in the mix. If you think tofu is bland, give this a try and I know you’ll see the light. As always, the bacos are soft pillowy mouthfuls of heaven. I have yet to try a single one that I don’t like. And as for the rest of your menu items, not only have you stepped things up in regards to creativity but execution as well. From kimchi burgers to hummus, I want to try it all. Ba Chi, I hope you can forgive me.

First I want to say that I used to LOVE this place. I would order take out from here once a week. But after 2 really bad experiences I wanted to write this review for other’s benefit. I have ordered their Curry Tofu twice now and found hunks of meat in it. I only started ordering this dish after being assured it was vegetarian. What I think is happening is their curry sauce is made with meat and they just pour it over the tofu. So heads up vegetarians this food is most likely not vegetarian! I tried their veggie phở once but was told the 2nd time I was there that it wasn’t vegan broth so I haven’t ordered it since. I really want to love this place but finding meat in my supposedly vegetarian tofu dish twice now means I won’t be coming back.

I’m just going to start off with the atmosphere… Definitely not the most inviting place to have lunch or dinner. You might even get drafts during a cold day and depending where you are seated you might get different smells that aren’t so pleasant. Now that the bad is out of the way, let talk about the food. You can’t go wrong with a baco which is basically a bao(steamed Chinese bun) shaped into a taco to hold variations of Asian Fusion fillings. My favorite baco is the bulgogi beef, curry chicken, and spicy creamy shrimp. You might want to try their different entrees and even starters. My favorite is the Fish Taco with Chips.(Fries if you don’t understand the U. K/Ireland vernacular) I’m not to fond of the broth used in their Phở but I think that’s a personable opinion. And lastly, any of the rice/vermicelli plates are well worth a try.
