Welcome to my world of Southwest Louisiana Food. You will see here my dining habits both at home and out. You will see my rants and diatribes. You will see reminiscences of the past. What you won't see until after it is published is my reviews. Then I will post them with pictures

Pho Tien 4415 Nelson Rd Lake Charles, LA 70605-4135 (337) 477-8556
It has been awhile since I have eaten but it is still one of my favorites. I started off as I usually start off with steamed dumplings. Both the dumplings and dipping sauce seem different. I am not too sure I care for them.
I got one of the pho. I ordered meatball and soon regretted it. They were like rubber balls although the soup and noodles were great. I had never had the meatballs so I was game for them.
The add in which I use all except the raw jalapenos. I just cannot go that route
I also got a banh mi. Basically a po boy type sandwich. I got the grilled pork. While the meat was great what make this sandwich is the pickled vegetables (carrot and daikon) along with the crusty bread. I wish they made the version that has pate and pork meatballs. Can't have everything so enjoy what you have.
I only dined at Pho Tien once, but it was a decent experience. Everyone else in the place seemed to be ordering chinese food(?), so that was a bit odd.
ReplyDeleteI am sure there are better but this is the only one in Lake Charles. Most Vietnamese restaurants that I have encountered offer Chinese dishes so the Americans can order something familiar.
