🕐Best time to visit: Saturday mornings in king cake season
Our Take
Dong Phuong is a New Orleans institution in the truest sense — a Vietnamese bakery in New Orleans East that makes king cakes so good locals will drive across the city for them, and bánh mì that quietly upstages everything around it. It's a near-destination spot whose score reflects the slightly off-the-beaten-path location rather than any shortfall in the food.
