Ici on mange vietnamien et non chinois. Vous retrouvez quand même à la carte nems, raviolis vapeur, du boeuf saté ou des beignets.

Par ailleurs, cet établissement vend également du thé pour les amateurs avec un choix saisissant de thé de très grande qualité.

When we arrived we were surprised by the long line and packed tables - clearly we weren't the first to discover such a gem (but the line moved quickly)! We had crispy fried spring rolls, bo luc lac (shaking beef), and beef pho (noodle soup) paired with two ice cold Singha beers. We finished off the meal with a delicious Vietnamese sesame cake and a Vietnamese iced coffee. At the end of our meal, the wonderful owner told us with pride that she had been in business with her husband running the restaurant for 21 years!!! She showed us her profile from a local Marseilles magazine and also told us that the restaurant was featured in a NYT travel article (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/08/travel/lyon-marseille.html). I love supporting amazing immigrant-run small businesses and was so happy to see the success of Nguyen-Hoang in the beautiful city of Marseilles. Highly recommend! Bon appetit!

We didn't feel like a pizza or burger or whatever and saw this place so we thought we'd give it a try. My friend and I got their standard beef pho and it was actually OK! The broth tasted pretty good and it did satisfy, even though it was odd to be eating pho out of a paper bowl. FYI, they serve everything in disposable bowls and utensils, which I wasn't a fan of, but oh well. I wouldn't go out of my way to seek this place out but if you're in a jam and craving Vietnamese food, this isn't so bad. STEPH JUDGEMENT: A decent fast-casual Vietnamese option in the touristy heart of Marseille.

We sprung for the excellent chicken spring rolls (4 served on a bed of very fresh greens, w/ marinated carrots), chicken soup with vermicelli rice noodles (a large bowl w/ plenty of meat and noodles that fed two comfortably), frog legs in mild basil sauce (delicate and a nice change from the usual fried or sauteed ones served in the US), and chicken and vegetables over crispy noodles (a very ample portion for two with lots of chicken and vegetables). Each was excellent, in both presentation and taste. Total bill: E39,50. The bathrooms were immaculate, the patrons friendly and obviously enjoying their meals, and the staff courteous and efficient. The service took time but in a good way, that made for a relaxed, nicely paced meal that confirmed that each dish was prepared fresh and for us, not for the sake of someone in a boardroom far from the good smells of the authentic kitchen. As the French couple next to us remarked, "This IS the best Vietnamese restaurant in Marseilles!" (Emphasis added.)

They say it is not only Thai but "all things Asian", serving Vietnamese and Chinese dishes too. All dishes were very spicy, I'm used to a lower level of it. Located in an area with a lot of graffiti.
