Luv Pho Food — Restaurant in Mandeville

We decided to try the pho place out. About the amount of a happy meal appetizer for a dinner time and cost portion across the board. We dropped 50$ for our total meal in the middle of a week for dinner cost.

Luke warm up to cold food levels in general…

Rare beef pho was a good flavor. But tiny serving. One jalapeño?? For a whole bowl of pho? Wow. You can’t at least lavish your customers with a healthy amount of toppings as your protein amount is so minimal? Even the noodles were a negligible amount— and they should be heaping. Nope.

Killer Poboy was wooden and cold and old shoe leather pork belly. Super bland flavors. Like chewing a few pieces of oak tree. That were left out several hours.

The Beef dish was tiny and stone cold meat.

All the serving sizes are minuscule and tiny almost like everything is an appetizer. Completely let down and surprised they have a near perfect score.

Business was dead slow but I thought with a perfect review (almost 5.0 perfect with multiple reviews) it would’ve been great and the service was kind enough, but the experience was so bad. We won’t be going back.

Maybe if flavors were stellar but it was 5/10 experience as a whole. Disappointing.

Like I say (a recent phrase I’ve coined for the terrible economy and performance of restaurants; and I totally get the pain that employers are feeling and hiring staff and keeping people working…nonetheless….) “Everything is cheaper and more...

⭐☆☆☆☆ I’ve been a loyal customer at Love Pho in Mandeville for years, always ordering the same thing with no issues — until tonight.

I placed a takeout order around 7:45 PM (they close at 8:30), requesting shrimp pho with extra veggies and spicy chili wings with shrimp fried rice for my son. I was charged the usual price, but when we got home, we found plain white rice instead. When I called to ask about it, the young man on the phone told me their prices had changed and, even though I requested shrimp fried rice, I “wasn’t charged for it” — so they gave me white rice instead. No apology, no explanation, just “so yeah,” and then he put me on hold.

Totally unprofessional. I always tip, but thankfully didn’t this time. One bad experience like this ruins all the good ones.

Sad to say I won’t be back. If this is how they treat regulars, it’s not worth it. There are other places that value their customers and take pride in doing...

Glad we found this great little place! Visiting from Texas and had just finished a tour at the alligator hatchery and wanted a bite and some boba teas. My husband and I shared the tempura shrimp sticky buns, which were my favorite- the crispy fry on the shrimp was perfect! We also shared the lemon grass chicken lettuce wraps which were delish and light. For our entrees I had the Vietnamese po'boy with beef, the bread was that perfect fluffy inside and a light crunch on the outside! My husband had the shaken beef, which neither of us had tried anywhere before and it was such a unique and delicious marinade. Our server was so sweet and friendly too. Definitely make your way here, you won't be...
