With a nasty cold on our trip, a hot bowl of pho was naturally calling to my stuffy nose. I tried 3 other Vietnamese spots around- unfortunately this was the most inept. Took over 45 min for pho to arrive, on a slow Monday night with a crowd half as busy as the others I tried. The pho was some of the plainest; no spice depth, less than fair amount of meat. It was a far cry from the comfort soup I needed to feel better. The potstickers outer layer was unusually thick in deep fried deliciousness. Super late water refill, and when asked for extra napkins they were forgotten. Instead of any tranquil background music you got to listen to workers screaming at each other in the kitchen. Even though this is tucked away from an immediate tourist area some changes must be made to achieve "hidden gem" status.
Being so far away from home and California having such diverse foods I was hesitant to try Vietnamese food in France. When I saw Dong Phat on yelp I made my decision to try this place based on price and being that it was a small family owened business. We had a party of 4. The patio seating was closing off for the night so we sat inside. We had a young male who came and spoke English very well. He offered us drinks and took our order.. We ordered shrimp and pork egg rolls, shrimp dumplings, stead combo rice, 2 shrimp dumpling Pho and a steak add shrimp pho. Our party had no complaints what so ever ! Everything was amazing. "Mom" came out and made sure every thing was OK. And she was the nicest ever. Everything came out separate but everything was extremely fresh. If you are in France and are looking for a different type of the tradition food. This place is highly recommended. And for the price it was top notch.
Nice little place tucked away from the tourist spot but not too far. I'd say local to tourist ratio on the day I am visiting was about 50/50. Very small but efficient. We had pho and shrimp dumpling noodles. The appetizer- spring roll was really good. Similar to the ones back in US. Pretty authentic I'd say. Pho was decent as well. No surprises. The shrimp dumpling was good and I am not so hot about the noodles. Soup was light and yummy. I'd gave the overall rating 3.5.
The location is easy to find off google maps. Parking on the street. Small space. First, the food is not Vietnamese. Should've gotten the clue when the ladies spoke Chinese. There is no umami flavor to the food. Order the lunch set with the vermicelli bowl and fried rice/rice rolls. The spring rolls were filled with bean sprouts which made it taste terrible. The vermicelli bowl's beef was not grilled but some sort of stir fry reheated in the microwave. The only redeeming factor was the egg roll which were decent. The fish sauce didn't have enough garlic or sugar. The xíu mài and ha kau were clearly microwaved from a bag. Overall everything was lackluster and I don't know why everyone have it such an aging review. Perhaps nothing to compare it to.
Just arrived into Paris and my son was feeling under the weather so he asked to go eat pho. I looked up what was near our hotel and Dong Phat came up and saw decent reviews. I am Viet so am very critical in a good way. Well I don't think this restaurant was very authentic or good. It was average. The pho didn't taste or smell like pho. The nuoc mam didn't taste like fish sauce. And the service was very very slow. 30 mins to get my son his pho. The Vietnamese turmeric pancake, Banh Xeo, was too thick and greasy and the pork that was used was under cooked. I hope they find a way to improve in their service and their taste because it was not a good representation on how good Viet food can be.
When my family visited Paris, we stopped by this restaurant twice (on the same day). It was 15 minutes walk from the Eiffel tower. I would say this was comfort food to the soul for me. I am Vietnamese and I was impressed with some of the dishes we ordered the first time, which led us to come back for the next meal on the same day. My daughter had grilled pork with rice and it was amazing! They marinated the meat well, added lemongrass before the grilled which made it very tasty. My partner got rice in a hot stone with beef and egg. It was so good that I kept eating his. Mine was good too but the sauce on that dish was just incredible. There was a bit of a wait when we got in but not too long. Staff was nice and friendly. A plus point was the staff spoke English very well! Update to some of the reviews: THEY DO TAKE CREDIT CARDS
Was really craving bun and this was the closest Viet restaurant with good reviews. It was more mixed dishes, I think. We got the vermicelli and mapo tofu. The place itself wasn't too busy so was surprised that the food took awhile to come. The bun flavour was just okay, the portion was kind of small for the price. The spring rolls were nice and crispy but the filling wasn't as generous as I was expecting. The mapo tofu was a bit too salty for my taste and I'm surprised it didn't come with rice (I guess it would be extra).
I came here on a Monday night for dinner. The place is near the Eiffel Tower so it's a good place to have dinner after you've gone up the tower or waiting for the light show at night. They have a great meal set where you get an appetizer, entree, and lychee dessert for 12 euros. It's such a good deal. My friend and I ordered Menu #1 (fried dumplings, beef/chicken/egg rice bowl, lychees) and Menu #3 (shrimp summer roll, beef/fried spring rolls vermicelli bowl, lychees). It's so much food. I really liked the shrimp summer roll and the vermicelli bowl. Service was very friendly and fast. I would definitely come back! The pho looked good but it was really hot the day I went so definitely have to come back if I'm here in the winter.
After spending a drizzly morning touring the palace at Versailles, we were in the mood for soup. This small Vietnamese restaurant is a little off the beaten path, but not far from Invalides where the dropped bus dropped us off after the tour. The food is authentic and not greasy. Their house made hot sauce is divine, and very hot. Like Thai Hot. The steam dumplings were pillowy and flavorful with soft (not chewy) shrimp. One order of the fried rice was not enough for my son, so he went back for seconds. And in their defense, it is a 7€ side dish. The prior reviews of beef with egg were spot on. It came with tender pieces of beef and a savory sauce. They provide a bottle of RedRooster Sauce if you want to add some heat. The chicken pho came with lime wedge on the side but it wasn't necessary. The broth had a bright and fruity flavor and plenty of pieces of chicken.
Stopped by at this restaurant after a long days sightsee in Paris. This place is located on a somewhat more quiet road and had plenty to offer. CONS: * There doesn't seem to be a bathroom available, so make sure to go ahead of time! PROS: * Food was very delicious and was ready pretty quickly! * The tea options were plentiful! If you would like a sweet drink, I would highly recommend the strawberry tea. * When I ordered beer stir fry, they were not stingy on the meat which was a huge plus! Overall, if you would like an alternative to yummy French cuisine, I would definitely give a seal of approval!
Unbelievably good Vietnamese food which we stumbled upon on while looking for the best view of the Eiffel Tower, I've eaten at Vietnamese restaurants in the west coast ( San Jose), a lot in New York and New Jersey, but the best I've tasted was this unassuming but very tasty Vietnamese restaurant with the staff so attentive and provides great customer service--both fluent in French and English. The food--pho was spot on delicious with the broth so sumptuous, noodles not sticky but just perfectly made, the Bo luc lac was on point, very very good on each bite, and they even give you a complimentary lychee dessert. This is a must visit Vietnamese restaurant in Paris

Dong Phat is portrayed to be a Vietnamese restaurant, but there were no Vietnamese staff there. It should have been a warning sign for me when there was Chinese dim sum on the menu. The menu doesn't even have Vietnamese writing on it. It has Chinese characters. Led by misleading reviews I came here hoping for an authentic Vietnamese meal during my Paris travels, but my trek in the rain to find this place was not rewarded. The interior was tight. You may have to move tables or ask other patrons to get up for you to squeeze into your seat. My boyfriend had the Soupe Tonkinoise au Bouef et Boulettes (11€) which in Vietnamese is a Pho Tai Bo Vien and I had the Riz Luc Lac au Boeuf (12€) which in Vietnamese should be the Com Bo Luc Lac. The meal was affordable and it tasted okay but my issue is the lack of authenticity. Com Bo Luc Lac usually has onions and tomatoes with the beef. This was only beef and there was no sauce glaze on it. Also restaurant usually served it with a side of salad. Vietnam is an agricultural country and most of our dishes usually have a plethora of veggies. My boyfriend isn't even a picky guy but he said his Pho was below average. I'm not sure why this place has great ratings... maybe there was a recent change in ownership and it's no longer what it used to be. read more
Sometimes while traveling you just need some pho in your life. Found this place close by to where I was staying and it was overall pretty delicious. No rare steak option for pho which I found odd, but the meat inside my pho was pretty good even though it already came cooked. Ate dinner on the cute patio space which was also lovely given the weather was perfect. Servers were definitely hustling and were quick to fill my water and bring out the food. read more

Dong Phat is a delightful Vietnamese restaurant tucked away in the heart of Paris. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese flavors in the city of lights, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Upon entering Dong Phat, you'll be greeted by a cozy and welcoming ambiance that reflects the essence of Vietnamese culture. The décor is simple yet elegant, providing a comfortable setting for a casual meal with friends or family. Although be mindful as the space is sort of small. The menu at Dong Phat offers a wide variety of Vietnamese dishes, from classic pho to flavorful rice dishes. I ordered Menu 1 which came with gyoza, a beef bowl with rice, and lychee desert. I got all that for 12 euros which is a good bang for your buck. The flavors at Dong Phat are authentic and well-balanced, and the use of fresh ingredients is evident in every dish. The service is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall dining experience. It also helps that the waiters speak food English being that I'm not from France. However, while the food is delicious, the food takes awhile to come out when they're really busy. We had to wait for around 40 mins for our appetizers to come out but in the end it was worth it since it tasted so good. Overall it's an excellent dining experience and a good Asian fix if you ever need one in France. read more

CASH ONLY! Great vietnamese/chinese food. Ordered the Shrimp dumpling Noodle Soup and the Beef pho. Great for a cold day. The shrimp dumpling soup came with egg noodles. The broth is clean and flavorful, and the shrimp dumplings were fresh and soft. For those who are coming from another country: The pho here was a little different, but just as good. The broth is more sweeter, and the noodles are more on the soft tender side. The beef noodles came with meatballs, brisket, and steak. My only criticism is the vietnamese coffee was underwhelming. It was made with another type of dairy rather than condensed milk (Which is the staple for viet coffee). read more

I rarely write reviews but I visited Paris last summer and still think about this place. The Bo Luc Lac was best we've ever tried anywhere and I'm Vietnamese. It was very flavorful and tender and prices were good considering Paris prices. We also got a clay pot dish, I can't remember which one but it was equally good! I had to backtrack and search on Yelp to find the name of this place in case I ever go back to Paris... that's the impression it left on me. I also appreciated that it was a mom & pop smaller business. read more

The food was amazing, honestly some of the best food we had in Paris. Their sauces are so good and add the perfect pop to the dishes we had. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for great Vietnamese food. In regards to the service, our waitress was completely there for us. Showed us exactly how the food should be eaten, as well as even recommending other places to go on our trip. And how can you beat eating curbside in Paris?!? Overall, an amazing experience! We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Paris. read more

My go to spot for Vietnamese while I'm in Paris. I ate here twice in 8 days. Price is on point, they have great combos that they serve at both lunch and dinner. Can't complain about the flavor given the fact that I'm from the Orange County, CA area as well. read more
One of the best restaurants I have in Paris! If you like Asian food, try this place. Their tables are very tight since the place is very small, but hey they have good food, so who cares! I ordered the beef with rice in clay pot! Delicious! Also a beef cube with rice plate! Wow beef is well seasoning. And price?!! Are you kidding me?!? Less than $10 a plate so for 2 plates less than $20! No tax, no tips needed! The service is also good. You have 2 young teenagers helping family to run the restaurants and they are friendly and nice! Plus+++++ And it's like 15 mins away from Eiffel Tower so after the dinner we have a walk to see the light up Eiffel Tower. How cool! read more

Been in Italy/ France for a few days. Tired of the @&$#% pizza. Dong Phat came up on yelp w 5 stars. I called bullshit. Showed up. Small ass place. Battle your way in. Tell the girls there are two of you. Fight to the death for a table! Grab a Saigon beer or 3 while you wait. Order. Get the damn dumplings. And one of the soup dishes. Ask for spicey, because you are a warrior. Add extra cock sauce (Sriracha) and house crushed chile sauce!!! Fight!!! Best Viet place I've ever been to. read more

Great value for money, delicious food and nice wine. We selected two of the set menus (1 & 3) and 1/2L of red wine and we were both very happy. The pork dumplings were crispy and very tasty and the prawn spring rolls were light and fresh. The beef vermicelli bowl had deliciously crispy spring rolls, fresh lettuce, carrot, and mint, and was topped with peanuts. The beef hot pot was topped with a fried egg and arrived at the table sizzling which kept the dish hot to the very last bite. The meal was finished perfectly with lychees in syrup. Service was friendly and efficiency and we were not rushed out after finishing our meals. Payment was cash only but luckily we had read a previous review and had enough on hand. read more
