Dang's

Have never been to Baton Rouge; and have never been to Dang’s either. That is until now and what a pleasant surprise. Louisiana capitol building’s expansive grounds were so charming, and Dang’s Vietnamese dishes were so good; they both made us wonder where else we have been. We ordered #3 Vietnamese Crepe Pork & Shrimp, #12 Beef Noodle Soup (pho), and #33 Pork Noodle Soup Seafood. And what a treat on all 3 dishes! They consistently had that smooth and sweet signature that felt immediately natural and craved. The pho’s brisket was meaty and tender, and together with the beef broth felt reassuring wholesome; while the pork soup with its generous portion of seafood was aromatic and irresistibly flavorful. And that Vietnamese crepe (or pancake) dish was as good as I could remember: it had a crunchy thin crust with thin slides of pork and butterflied shrimp, onions and beansprouts. The crepe came with fresh lettuce, carrot, cilantro, and a dipping fish sauce that shared that irresistible smooth and sweet taste signature. Before our visit to the restaurant, we noticed it had 5 star rating across the board on Google Map but we were skeptical. Rarely we agreed with establishments with 5 star rating. That was rare until the first bite from Dang’s pho brisket that melt all our doubts away, once and for all.

Not the best tasting shrimp/pork spring roll I’ve ever had, flavor was rather dulled by lettuce, but it seemed healthy. The grilled pork bahnmi was excellent. The unsweetened black tea was lightly floral, it was different and better than the usual iced tea.

This is some of the BEST Pho and service. The outside keeps this a true hidden gem! Inside there is water fountains, fish tanks and LOTS of betta fish to keep you company while you enjoy truly home cooked food. Stop looking for a place to eat and just come here already and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food around!!

I like the bun thit nuong, the bun bo hue & pho were a bit spicy but overall good. Service & Staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. Cafe sua da (with milk) is strong and nice. This place is a nice vietnamese restaurant and a hole in the wall.

The pho is absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and fresh toppings. The service is also excellent & the staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you have everything you need. While the outside of the plaza looks a bit old, don’t let that fool you. Inside, the restaurant is super clean and has a fresh, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving great Vietnamese food!
