Top choice in New Orleans
It may look like a bog standard strip-mall Vietnamese joint when you walk in, but we'd happily contend that Tan Dinh is one of the best restaurants in greater New Orleans. The garlic butter chicken wings could be served in heaven's pub, and the Korean short ribs are mouthwatering. It's also a contender for high-quality pho.
It's popular with families, office workers, as well as some of New Orleans' best chefs, who often come here to indulge their own foodie fantasies.
