Jazmine Café — Restaurant in New Orleans

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...

Both the food and service were terrible. I ordered beef pho and paid to add broccoli. The meat was over cooked and tough. There were literally five little broccoli florets (+$1.95). The broth was delicious, but the meat was awful. I’ve had pho in restaurants all over the city and this was the worst pho in New Orleans.

I would have expressed my concerns with the waitstaff had they asked. After dropping off my food, no one came to ask how it was. Literally no one came to the table until I asked for the check. To top this off, I was the only person in the restaurant at the time and there were at least five servers in...

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...
