About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Innovative
Good for groups

MOPHO strives to be a true neighborhood restaurant, combining the flavors of Southeast Louisiana and Southeast Asia. From rich pho broths, to hand ground curries, and our signature bubble tea cocktails; everything at MOPHO is made from scratch with care and attention to freshness and flavor. We also serve whole roasted hog brushed with lemongrass, garlic, and chiles every Saturday for lunch.
In 2014, MOPHO was nominated as one of Bon Appetit's Top 50 Best New Restaurants. It was also named Restaurant of the Year by New Orleans Magazine and People's Choice Best New Restaurant by Gambit Magazine in 2014.

MoPho, a beloved New Orleans spot, is celebrated for its "incredible chicken wings" and "delicious and creative food." The Asian-fusion menu offers standout dishes like Bao Buns and curries. Despite some service inconsistencies, patrons cherish its "inventive and scrumptious" flavors. Sadly, the restaurant is closing soon, leaving fans nostalgic.

We are so sad that MoPho is closing and had to get there one more time. Apparently, a lot of others did too because the place was packed! I was excited to see the OG chicken wings back on the menu. I will miss everything about MoPho. I was there at the soft opening and 4 more times that first week. The food and service were always outstanding! Good luck to all of you, we hope to see everyone again soon.

Casual spot with an Asian-fusion menu. Decent-sized bar in the center of the restaurant, noise level was moderate while there for lunch -- easy to have a conversation. Menu is not huge but varied with Bao Buns, Pho, incredible chicken wings in a special southeast Asian sauce, fish & chips, curries and daily specials. Deep bold flavors make the food exceptional.
