“ Best bahn mi ever. Best king cake and the bakery is amazing. It is a must try even if you feel it's "out of the way" you better make your way there anyways!! Always super sweet staff and cozy enough to order and go or stay and eat. ”

“ I tried cream cheese king cake and a slice of the praline one. I give them both a 7.5/10. The icing is really good. Almost like a whipped cream. Now what I didn't like is the way the filling is sprinkled throughout. Both cakes lacked filling. At first I thought it was just the praline because I only had an individual slice. But nope, I had the whole cream cheese cake and it's just not enough filling inside. Great flavor though. ”

“ Best place to get king cakes during Mardi Gras season. I showed up at 7 AM on a Friday morning with only a couple people in line. I was able to get my king cakes and pay for them around 8:11 AM. One cake is huge and all the flavors have their unique taste, I don't really have one that stands out, but you could say strawberry is good since it's not too creamy compared to the others. I would come back! ”

“ Updating my DP review from years ago and I still LOVE IT as much!! From the pastries my favorite is the pate chaud. This never disappoints and I always get a box to go every time. The king cake if you could get one is also wonderful. Out of all the king cakes I've tried in NOLA, DP has been the best. In this trip, we actually dined in (haven't done this in a while) and we got pho and the bo luc lac plate. The portions were huge and the food was delicious as pictured. Service was fine and ambiance was casual. Don't leave this place without trying anything from the bakery, their French bread is the best also! ”

“ I can only rate on the food, specifically their cinnamon and cream cheese king cakes. My coworkers and I were out in Los Angeles and one of them flew in from New Orleans and was nice enough to wait in line and actually bring on the plane their cream cheese king cakes. The king cakes were so amazing and just the right amount of sweetness!! ”

“ Knew I wanted to come here during my trip to New Orleans. We ubered 30 minutes just to eat here and it was definitely worth it. Had the bun Bo hue and it was so good, much better than the bun Bo hue I get back home in california. We also had plans to go to their bakery which is connected to the main restaurant. We got there around 11am on a Saturday and could tell most of the bakery sweets and items were sold out already :(, not sure if this is a normal occurrence or if it's because we came the Saturday right after lunar new year which was on a Wednesday. We still made our way over to the bakery, we grabbed a big bag of their fresh banh mi bread, a pate chaud to try, and a Pandan dessert. Their banh mi bread is the CLOSEST one I've found in the U.S. that is just like what I had on my trip to Vietnam. It was so good and if I lived here I'd be at the bakery every weekend getting a bag of the banh mi bread. Pate chaud was also delicious. Service was good at both the restaurant and bakery, friendly, took our orders, etc., pretty standard for this type of restaurant. If you live here or you are on vacation here I think it's definitely worthwhile to come here. Eat at the restaurant or you could go to the bakery and get a banh mi sandwich or some other goodies to go. 10/10, literally the best banh mi bread I've had, just like what I had in Vietnam, they nailed down the texture PERFECTLY ”

“ I came here on a super cold morning to pick up a king cake. The line was long but since it was cold they were nice to open up a section that was inside and warm. The service was great after reaching the POS we got their signature coconut king cake and the pecan king cake. Price is pretty on point to most of the competition. And I love the flavors and fillings. The coconut king cake is amazing. The pecan was great too but cononunt puts the king in king cake. I also have ate here before and had vermicelli and pho and all the food and service is great. I recommend Dong Phuong. Best Vietnamese of NOLA East. ”

“ I mean this bakery has the best king cakes in the city, don't believe me check out the lines as the season gets started. My fav the cream cheese. Thanks to my wife she got the first of the season. It's also a bakery and makes delicious banh Minh- I usually get the bbq chicken and it's so good. The cinnamon rolls are also delicious and not too sweet. You walk in and order and you're out pretty quickly. Never eaten on site. This place is a must! ”

“ I am always very satisfied with the bakery! I mean the king cake is one that everyone must try. I usually go for the cream cheese and cinnamon but the almond and strawberry are also very popular flavors if you can get your hands on one. The service is always very pleasant and it's a typically Vietnamese ambiance. If you're not from New Orleans it's a bite of a drive but worth it if you up for it. ”

“ Made a trek here as we're heading back to TX coming from FL. This was actually my hubby's idea (props to him) on this find as I didn't expect it!! Driving here though was a little sketchy to be honest haha as we're driving some small roads near the swamp to get there but alas we made it. Outside was very well kept and noticed they sell king cakes which I had no idea about but it's apparently a NoLa thing and only made within carnival season and sells out everyday!! (Will need to try and order one next time we are in town!) Anyways, the food! We went to the bakery side as we just wanted to grab some banh mi's to travel along with us. I got their #4 Chinese BBQ Pork and hubby got their #5 Grilled BBQ pork and we also grabbed some their pastries and desserts to try as well. But WOWWWW that Banh Mi, we were REALLY impressed because that was definitely fully loaded with all the fillings and SO much meat! For $7, it was definitely worth it! Flavorful and packed with all the goodness and their pate, so perfect!! A lot of their pastries brings me back memories of my childhood of when my parents and I would go to the Asian bakeries to take home to eat whenever we were in the Garden Grove area back in CA. it was great nostalgia. Workers were so nice, friendly as well. Lots of parking at least when we arrived there. The middle side of the place is their restaurant which serves phó and other goodness. I went into grab some of their Viet iced coffee to get caffeinated for the road. This was a great pit stop for some good banh mi's and snacks!! ”
