Thanh Lien Kitchen — Restaurant in New Orleans

Soooooo, I looked up Vietnamese places near me and saw this place had a a 4.9 at the time. I had to give it a try. Came in late on a Saturday night and got the Smoked Brisket pho, the Crab Rangoons, the Chili Oil Dumplings, the Char Siu croissant, and the Smoked Brisket croissant.

Cute little Vietnamese restaurant! I live in the neighborhood and this was my first time going. It's super cute and clean inside, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I got the steamed dumplings, fried tofu, grilled pork banh mi, and the Thai tea. The banh mi was big and filling chunky and sweet. I'd never had Thai tea before, but it was sweet and milky.

Update: I've since tried the beef pho and it was amazing! Sweet and...
