New Orleans Seafood Inc - Chicago

Literally someone's house it feel like. Very friendly very authentic Vietnamese new Orleans foodVegetarian options: A lot

I do not recommend New Orleans Seafood for dining in. It's small, so even banking on seating would be a risky move. I was pretty impressed by the taste and generous portion size of my small order of shrimp fried rice, and the potstickers appetizer was good. My husband found himself unimpressed with his pork with fried noodles dish. I was highly disappointed in the crab rangoon. They were very small, which would have been okay if they were flavorful. The rangoon had nothing going for it. Our server was not very attentive, and technically, we were the only customers dining in. There was a large table of what must be family members or regulars drinking. It was clear the staff knew them well, as they joined in with them. It was enjoyable to see them having fun, so that is not a slight to them. They must do this a lot, as we passed the place on a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks prior, and we were not even sure we should go in because it looked closed for a private party to us. In fact, we did not go in due to not being sure what was going on. My biggest turn-off ended up being the delay in them charging my card. We dined on October 26, and my debit card was not charged until November 15. While I was not double-charged or anything, I don't like charges hanging in the balance like that. I don't even remember a time a charge did not appear within a day or two from any service industry entity. There is no ambiance, as seen in my interior photos. It's bare-bones, sans charm. With so many great places in the area, I really believe New Orleans Seafood is skippable unless you're interested in a tasty, affordable fried rice takeout order.

During our recent dining experience at New Orleans Seafood, we found it to be interesting as we were the only diners on a weeknight, with a few takeout orders and some locals who seemed to be acquainted with the owners. The atmosphere was lively with the locals having a great time. We chose a few items off the menu, none of which were reminiscent of New Orleans cuisine. The appetizers, including pot stickers and crab Rangoon, were average, with my partner not enjoying the crab Rangoon. She did enjoy her shrimp fried rice. Unfortunately, my pork with fried noodles dish was bland, with tough and fatty meat and lackluster noodles and veggies. It seems that making better choices from the menu may lead to a more enjoyable dining experience at New Orleans Seafood.

Horrible place! There was a large group of friends/family ? taking up the entire SMALL place. When we arrived they said take a seat anywhere you like , there was only 1 four person communal table to sit, then they said the ok was out getting plumbing supplies. They didn 't know when he 'd be back...Total train wreck! NOT RECOMMEND

This spot is a hidden gem in the area that provides authentic regional Vietnamese flavors from New Orleans. I've had the fried catfish, calamari, and wings thus far and they were flavorful with a light and crispy batter. Good prices and great for carry out. The staff is also quite nice and friendly. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu!
