This sweet, humble restaurant appears to be no different than any other grab-and-go Asian eatery in…read morethe city, but a close look at the menu reveals great treasures, such as the bo bun and the tapioca dessert. The owner grew up in Cambodia, but is Vietnamese by heritage, and heavily leans on that experience to serve her exquisite dishes. There are many varieties of bun available (vegetarian, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp), which come with fried spring rolls called nems (chicken or vegetarian), plenty of fresh vegetables, and an exquisite fish sauce (nuoc cham) that is a cut above many other nuoc chams I've had at other restaurants. When I was there, there were two dessert options available - taro tapioca and banana tapioca. My date and I opted for the taro tapioca, which was sweet and comforting ending to our meal -- those who have had a sweet dessert soup at the conclusion of a Chinese banquet will be able to recognize the treat. 老板会讲中文！

Clearly distressed at the world of available options in the area, it took a monumental effort to touch down and commit. The proprietor definitely took note of our conflicted state as we were pacing to and fro in clear view of the front window. Glad that he didn't judge! The experience was perfect from the moment we finally set foot inside and got a giant smile of a greeting. And we were promptly handed an English menu, nice. This happened to be our first stop in town, and it was far and above expectations. Talk about a diamond of a find--authentic Thai cuisine, least where one would expect to find it. The service was fantastic. And the food, wow, what can I say. Head and shoulders above all of the Thai restaurants that we've ever had stateside. We had a tom kha kai, duck red curry, and a minced beef with lemongrass and sticky rice dish. All excellent selections. Too bad we're so far apart, otherwise we'd come here all the time.

As a vegetarian, I had to take my time to find the veggie friendly options and confirm a few times with the wait staff to make sure I didn't accidentally get shellfish because the amuse bouche definitely had it in it. Once I was able to identify the vegetarian options, I ordered all of them. Literally all. The food was delicious, slightly overpriced but it's neighboring the Ritz, so understandable. White table cloth settings and busy during lunch time. Good if already staying in the neighborhood or a tasty lunch after an afternoon in the jardin tuileries.

It's a true student joint…read more Opened since 1985 (!!!!) by a philosophy professor from Vietnam, you can actually still see him almost everyday, as he is still manning the back kitchen and comes out to the bar say hello the regulars who are sitting at the bar having aperitif and chatting with each other and the girl behind the bar. The restaurant is tiny, seating no more than 20 people at a time, if there's no vietnamese live karaoke occupying the back tables. The ambiance feels like a 70s Asian student meet-up to talk about the government - filled with books and records (and they sell books as well, but not the ones on the shelf). It's hard not to fall in love with the nostalgia. 5EUR student price for their main dishes. Albeit small portions, it's hard to argue with that price. And non-student price is a mere 6EUR for a quick eat. It's not 100% vietnamese food - they have nem, bo bun, and pho, but it also has curry and spaghetti, etc. I had the bobun and it was not the rice noodle that i was expecting, but big thick Chinese noodles with minced pork and some nem. It was good for its price but not much more than that. They do not accept credit card or ticket resto - which means cash only. They also close early (8:30pm) and it's ridiculously difficult to get a seat regardless of what day of the week you go if you don't show up before 6pm. If you're alone, you can get an empty seat at the bar for a quick meal, but if you are in a group, do try to go as early as right before it opens or else you might have to eat elsewhere. No reservations. I feel guilty about giving it a 3 star because it's a wonderful little place, but honestly it's not a place for people to try really good food, but for people who enjoy the wistfulness the place brings and to cheaply fill your bellies.

With all of the options in Paris, I really wanted something comforting like pho. When I arrived, there was a line out the door and another ordering take out. Since I was only a party of 1 now, I was seated right away. The place is small and every table was full. We have a lot of pho in SF, so there were somethings that I noticed that were different. The noodles didn't taste like rice noodles, more like ramen noodles. They didn't have any of the typical pho items like bean sprouts, basil or jalapenos. The meat was prepared differently, but still very good overall. They didn't have any Viet Beer, only Tsingtao which is Chinese. No worries, I like them all. They also called the dumplings (or gyoza) by the term "ravioli", which was different to see - but probably easier for tourists to understand. Although I am no expert, this didn't seem to be authentic Vietnamese, but more of an Asian Fusion. It was quite delicious though and was glad I had the opportunity to try it out.
