Magasin Vietnamese Cafe — Restaurant in New Orleans

This place has some really great options on the menu, although they have not managed to optimize the space in this tiny restaurant well. It has a cool rustic open kitchen, a very unappealing bar, and nice lighting that gave the feel of a dark spa, or night club.

Now back to the space, it's so small that you sit with your neighbors for lunch, your hips and butt are constantly in someone's face, so try not to escape too the restroom and back. I will give you five on it if you make it back to your seat without your butt, hips, or waist meeting something on your neighbors table. The space was not utilized well, it's like a basketball player getting out of a childs big wheel when trying to leave the tables.

The service is okay, and to top off their just okay service. I eat a mostly no meat/ pescatarian lifestyle so I ordered the mushroom spring rolls. They were very good might I add, however, after eating one that had a salty meat taste, and a rubberry meat like texture, I stopped chewing. So I wondered, and I'm assuming the waitress saw me pondering, so she ran over to our table to with a mushroom platter and stated "sorry they have meat in them."

So I told my sister "take me to the window, I want to say good bye bye bye to the cold cruel world." Hocus Pocus. Haha..

I only had half of a half so I tried not to become upset. Her solution to the mistake was the cake topper of all cake toppers, listen to this. She wanted to give me the mistake that I did not order for free. I laughed so hard too myself and my mother new what the look was. She stated "lets enjoy the rest of our lunch and leave".

I struggled so hard with the tip, it went from six dollars, then five, four, three, two, and one dollar, to ahhh screw it lets go. Because it revesed as well, although I did leave a tip with...

The best crawfish I've ever had anywhere! We have been to many restaurants in Louisiana and Houston and it tops every single one. The best sauce! So good that we had to take some home. If you like spice I highly suggest the fiery cajun. You can tell this sauce was made with love and fine ingredients. It's absolutely finger licking good! Everything we tried was amazing. I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant. The service was top notch. Orlandez made us feel like family walking into the restaurant and took great care of us. The chef/owner took the time to come out to talk us for a bit and show his appreciation. Appetizer Bulgogi Fries - a total must have! I've had many Bulgogi Fries in Houston and Los Angeles and these are my favorite. Main Course Crawfish with fiery Cajun sauce. The crawfish were large, cooked at perfect temperature, and the sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. Seafood Platter consisting of snow crab, crawfish, mussels, shrimp, hard boiled egg, potato, corn with fiery cajun sauce. We're so happy we got this platter and got to try a little bit of everything. The mussels and shrimp were my favorite. Dessert Chocolate Cake - we weren't no thinking on ordering dessert but Orlandez suggested it and boy oh boy we're we happy he did. As soon as we had one bite, it was a race to the finish line! The cake just melted in our mouths. It was so moist and perfect amount...

I had been wanting to try Mukbang after seeing it in the area. I stopped in on a Friday night. There was a live band (pretty common in the area) but oooh they were good! The horn player, chef’s kiss! The customer service was equally pleasing. I was greeted several of the staff. One lady, who I believe may have been an owner, helped me decide what to try. She gushed about finding a local woman owned vendor for the perfect chewy and flaky bread for her po boy sandwiches. She was so happy as if she was recalling the first time she tasted the woman’s bread m. You can tell she wanted patrons to taste how good it is too! So I went with the oyster poboy subbed the fries for the Persian cucumbers. I also ordered the garlic noodles for my appetizer. Yummy! I cleaned the plate. While waiting several staff came by with genuine smiles to check on me. I’m loving it does body roll 😊 The poboy was good! The bread was as described, right amount of flaky and chewy! It was huge, I only ate half and took the rest home. The cucumbers were fresh and crispy and the vinaigrette dressing, I tried to sop up every crumb with that dressing! I asked for some to go to dip my...
