Came here since my fam was craving Asian food after eating French food for a week. Found this place from the reviews on TripAdvisor which had many good reviews. We got the beef pho, bun bo hue, and the banh xeo. The beef pho was soooo tiny. Literally a soup bowl for 15 euros. The noodles were hard and soup was not flavorful at all.. I'm blessed with authentic pho back in SF and SJ, so that's what I'm comparing it to. If you're looking for authentic pho, and a good size amount, for a good price, stay awayyyy from this place. read more

I had lunch here around 2-3pm, late lunch, which was a shame because it restricted on the menu items that I'm allowed to order. A couple of the dishes will take a lot longer to make since it's no longer lunch rush hour. Anyhow, Ordered the Vietnamese crepe and gingered chicken, but the waiters brought out a black pepper chicken instead. Crepe was nice and crispy, maybe a bit too oily. I wish there was lettuce and fish sauce provided on the side though. Black pepper chicken had good flavor but definitely way too greasy. Lettuce would be super great if present. Everything was too expensive for the portion you get and considering that it's Vietnamese food. No incentive to really come here unless there's nothing open and you're really craving for Vietnamese food. Staff are nice though. read more

I am from California, USA and we have one of the best areas for Vietnamese food and it can be very dissatisfying when deciding to venture out of the known of Vietnamese in various areas or countries. At Lac Hong, I was pleasantly surprised how close to home cooking it was. I can definitely say it was beyond my expectations with great tasting, fresh home cooked meals like your mother would cook at home. FLAVOR WAS not lacking, nor was it overly salty, sweet or tangy but a harmonious balance of great Vietnamese food to eat. My other half who is not of Asian descent was also blown away by how authentic it tasted like my families and store dishes we are accustomed too. 5 stars to the chef who we were able to meet! She reminded me of my own mother... Sweet, charming, motherly, hard working through sweat and tears in the kitchen to make sure everyone enjoys her food that's made from the heart. We both wanted more of each dish we bought but we're so full eating what was served to us. The two gentlemen helping us get seated had many skills as well. he was funny, speedy, prompt with delivering all your course necessities and spoke multiple languages like English, Vietnamese, French and Spanish fluently. I'm sure he could speak more lol. Definitely add this restaurants to eat whenever in the area.. you will not be disappointed. read more

Looking for Vietnamese food in the area, my friend and I stumbled upon Lac Hong and decided to test it out despite reading mixed reviews. There was truth in all the reviews: the food was overpriced (no papaya salad appetizer should be 28€ (or 49€ with lobster)!), the portions were small, but the flavor was rich and delicate. We ordered the Vietnamese soup, the Saigon soup, and the steamed dumplings to split. The waiters were at ease in English (in fact, they seemed to prefer it to French). The dishes didn't take long to arrive at our table, and we had a chance to fully admire the intricate decorations (I was facing the bar, which was neatly stacked with Vietnamese dolls and held a massive fish tank). Our dumplings and soups were tasty, though you can find equally delicious Vietnamese dishes at a lower price and in larger quantities in other parts of town. What bothered me most was the patron's insistance that we come back, order more, write reviews, share with our friends. Thankfully she came up to talk with us at the end of the meal and not before, because as much as her over solicitousness was unappreciated at the end, it would have ruined the dining experience had she approached us while we were still at our table. Perhaps she was on the defensive after reading other reviews that mention the steep prices, because she started out by saying that she only uses fresh ingredients, and stressed just how unique her restaurant was and how quality is more important than anything else. It was hard to shake her off--she followed us to the door, singing her restaurant's praises the whole way. read more

Lac Hong - A very small (but delicious) soup for 15€ - Vietnamese Near Me - Paris, 75

I was in Paris recently and was fortunate enough to have dinner at Lac Hong Thai Restaurant. The food was delicious especially the Thai pancake. The service was great and the owner was very pleasant. The ambiance was old fashioned but comfortable. The next time you are in Paris and get burnt out on French cuisine, do give Lac Hong a try, you won't regret it. read more

I visited Vietnam a couple of years ago and my dinner at Lac Hong transported me back to Vietnam. I had the shrimp spring roll, the grilled prawn papaya salad, chicken pho, sautéed beef in lemongrass, and shrimp fried rice. Each dish was fresh and delicious. And to top it off, the owner, Tuyet, came to our table to introduce herself and suggest dishes. After the food came out she came over again to make sure we were enjoying the meal. Tuyet is a pleasure and her cooking philosophy explains why the food is so good: she cooks each meal as soon as the order is placed and pours her love into it. You can taste that philosophy with each bite. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!! read more

the restaurant is small and cozy, and only 10 mins drive from Eiffel tower. the friendly owner came out to talk to us, and asked for our opinions on the dishes. The pho itself was very good and there were a lots of meat. They were cooked just right, very soft & tender. The soup tasted flavorful, enough to keep me from getting homesick. We were offered the vietnamese coffee, it was very delicious and not too sweet which we liked. We will definitely come back next time we're in Paris. read more

Lac Hong - Pho Bo / Beef Noodle - Vietnamese Near Me - Paris, 75

Why, yes, I did get Pho in Paris! Went the beautiful city during the fall and needed a hot bowl of noodles! Started off with the Vietnamese dumplings- definitely recommend. Each bite was so flavorful! Serving size is pretty big for this so definitely recommend you share. Had the infamous Pho as my meal. Liked how it was served in a small bowl and that the fixings (sprouts, cilantro, etc.) we're already in the bowl. The noodles in this are a bit wider, which I liked, but they didn't cook it long enough so they were a bit hard to chew. Staff was super friendly!! read more

Sigh..was told this place was amazing. However, it was not. Everything was quite salty. The beef roll was probably the best thing we had but it was freaking 17 euros for ONE roll. WHAT THE HECK. We were left really thirsty... Lac Hong- I left hongry. read more

Out of all the vietnamese restaurants ive visited this is so far the most authentic and delicious food ever! We tried their beef dumpling, pho and shrimp spring roll and everything was so fresh and delicious. The ingredients were super fresh and crunchy and they did not hold back on the amount of veggies which really added the extra flavor. The restaurant is super quirky and fun and the waiters were really amazing! I am so happy to have found this special restaurant with amazzzing food in paris read more

Our last night in Paris and we needed some place to go close by and we found this little gem next to our hotel! The food is amazing here! Just trust what the owner tells you! She is the owner/waitress/cook! Does a great job on explaining what she does and the effort she puts into the meal. She recommended the lobster salad for us and her pancakes. Growing up eating Vietnamese food it is hard for me to be super impressed but holy moly the food was soooo good!! Super flavorful and tasty! Best pancakes I have ever had literally ever! Ban Xeo for the viet people! Seriously though amazing you need to get this when you are here! The atmosphere was great and it was this tiny hole in the wall joint next to the hotel that you would have never thought to go into but literally delicious food here. Apparently this place has been here for years so definitely a gem to find. Now the only drawback is the price point, it is very expensive to be warned. Growing up in Texas the Vietnamese meals usually cost me anywhere from 20-30 bucks for a family of 3-4....My wife and I spent over $100 Euros so it is expensive but definitely worth the trip to stop by when you are in Paris to enjoy quite possibly the best Vietnamese food you will ever have. Enjoy! read more

Before we left for Paris, my wife indicated that she was interested in going to a non-French restaurant during our vacation in France. For me, this immediately removes Mexican from consideration as we are spoiled with good Mexican food in Los Angeles. I quickly narrowed my search to a restaurant named Luc Hong in the 16th arrondissement. With a name that does not include "Saigon" or "Pho", I figured the restaurant would have to stand on its own merits. From its reviews, the pho, however, was outstanding. To me, an outstanding pho broth does not demonstrate the talent of a chef. They opened shortly after 7:00 p.m. and we were one of two groups that were waiting for the restaurant to open. The inside was furnished with a lot of Asian black lacquered furniture and cushions decorated with flowers. It also had a stocked aquarium and some interesting Asian dolls on display. The menus were in French and we could barely make out some of the dishes. Fortunately, the owner, Co Tuyet, had a good command of English and assisted us with our order. From my research, I knew that people enjoyed their bánh xèo and so we ordered that. After she described the lobster papaya salad and the mixed barbecue we decided on both. Throughout our vacation, I kept looking for a German riesling and kept striking out. We ended up with a French chablis as our beverage. The bánh xèo (Vietnamese pancake) had an omelette like appearance and cut into four triangular shaped slices. It was filled with bean sprouts and large pieces of shrimp. The combination of spices, green onions, turmeric and coconut cream made this a delicious dish. It was served with a side of nuoc nam dipping sauce. We loved the presentation of the Lobster papaya salad. What appeared to be whole lobster, was the main parts of the lobster shell with the meat extracted. It was mixed with slivers of pineapple, papaya and some Asian herbs. The fish sauce dressing significantly enhanced the taste the salad. Tuyet asked if I like hot sauce. She added that she makes her own. Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity, I agreed. I took about a teaspoon and mixed it with the papaya salad. I could immediately my sweat glands kicking into gear and became our table's source for comedy. Tuvet doubled the mixed barbecue plate for us and it arrived on a huge platter. BBQ pork, shrimp, grouper, green leaf lettuce, grilled onions and Asian herbs were on top of a bed of rice noodles. We wrapped these items with a piece of lettuce and dipped it in the nuoc nam sauce - wonderful! This place was a significant find for us and if you enjoy Vietnamese food, you should make this a stop while you are in Paris. read more

I don't know how to compare Vietnamese food in Paris because this was my first and only Vietnamese food we had here. But compare to the States, it's far from being good. It was actually our first meal in Paris and with the cold and rainy weather that day, I wanted some soup. I also wanted to try Vietnamese food in Paris since so much of our food was influenced by the French. We had pho and hu tieu for lunch. The portions were small and each bowl was 15E. Very pricey for how small they were. I mean I guess it's Paris price so I can't complaint. read more

Next time I'm in Paris, I will return for another perfect meal. The owner family make you feel at home, and the food was just delicious.

My French friends in America would always tell me Vietnamese food taste better in France. I always laughed and rolled my eyes. Of all the times I've been to France, I've never had Vietnamese food until recently. Yup, definitely better. The pho is excellent. read more

We decided to give this Vietnamese restaurant a try since it was within walking distance from where we were staying. Caveat, if you have something on the menu, the customer should be able to order without "sorry we don't have today". There were quite a few dishes on the menu that were not available the night we were there. How can a Vietnamese restaurant be out of Pho and Cha Gio I have no idea? This would not fly in the U.S. because these two dishes are the easiest way to judge how good the kitchen is.. To the food, pricing and service: Food-nothing to write home about. Typical Vietnamese fare less what was mentioned above. Quality is average but tasted like reheated leftovers. The Beef Rolls were the tastiest of all the dishes we had tried. The Bahn Xeo was not crispy at all like it should be and the Hu Tieu was lukewarm made with pho noodles. Two stars. Pricing-Be prepared for sticker shock. Pricing is doubled of what is comparable in the U.S.. Really? 16 Euros for a bowl of sub par Hu Tieu with pho noodles? Two Stars. Service-Attentive but forgot an order so we had to ask for them to bing the order. Two Stars. Overall-Very disappointed, we should have walked on... read more

The circumstances of my encounter with Lac Hong was nothing sort of divine intervention. It was a freezing afternoon when my weary group scoured for food in the nearby area when we stumbled upon Lac Hong's doorsteps, cold, hungry and desperate. They were closing in 15 mins, but kindly sat us anyway. We hungrily ordered bowls of Pho in desperate attempts to warm up. What emerged was more than just pho--it was a heavenly meal, and the best bowl of pho I've ever had. Flavorful slurps of broth, plentiful noodles, and meaty chunks of quality steak--all tossed together in a modest, yet divine bowl of pho. Every aspect of this dish is worthy of praise--right down to the homemade hoisin sauce. I always polish off my noodles, leaving the soup behind--not this time. I drank every last drop. The owner seemed pleased when she saw the empty bowls, and proceeded to explain how much preparation goes into her pho broth--from stewing the pork bone overnight at a very low heat, to skimming every last ounce of fat off. She clutched her fist against her chest, exclaiming how she puts her heart and soul into her pho. Rarely do you encounter such a well made dish! The joy of Lac Hong does not stop there. Their Vietnamese coffee is strong, delicious, and bold--at any Vietnamese joint, if you don't hear them chipping away at an ice block in the back, you're being cheated! I was relieved to hear that familiar chipping behind the bar after we placed our order. Our one friend who opted out of the pho got the curry chicken--also delicious and flavorful! They really don't go wrong anywhere here! Rarely do I ever feel so sad to leave a restaurant. The owner assured me the next time we come, she'll have many more recommendations in store! Truthfully, I'd gladly fly back to Paris for Lac Hong. read more

After returning back to Paris from London, we changed AirBnB locations. Originally, were on the SE side of Paris, and close to Place d'Italy, which has a way better Vietnamese area and we were shocked by their authentic flavors. So when were were on the Westside of Paris, we were craving Vietnamese again. Thanks to Yelp, we were able to track some down within walking distance of our new lodging. I must say the price was quite steep for very small portions. I'm saying about 2x price for 1/2 the serving size, so 4x as much in theory. However, for this particular area, I must say the quality was decent. I had the hu tieu and my fiancee had the pho. Both solid, in flavor, we did ask for the hot sauce and hoison style sauces to give it a little more kick. I gotta say at least the service here was prompt vs some of the other eating options we have had. The waitstaff does speak vietnamese, if that helps you. read more

This is my fav Vietnamese restaurant in Paris. I am a foodie especially when it comes to Vietnamese food --- I am always in search for Vietnamese when I travel! Walked passed this place accidentally - must say I was a bit hesitant to enter as the place was quiet, a few French customers! As my friends and I say, don't enter an asian restaurant when you don't see any asian eaters in there! :-) Well, I am so glad I came in on Monday and I am back today (Wednesday)- Monday- I ordered "Banh khot" and Bun Bo Hue! Both dishes were delicious! Beyond my expectations and the fish sauce was exceptionally GOOD!!! The owner/chef - Tuyet was super sweet! She was very personable and caring! She cooks from her HEART! I told her I'd come back today (Wednesday) for other dishes and she made a special meal for me (not on the menu) - Ca Kho (fish simmered in caramel sauce) and Chanh Chua (hot and sour soup). They were DELICIOUS!!!!!!! I licked the bowls and forgot to take pictures! Sorry guys! Oh, and don't forget to try the Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe)--- Again, the fish sauce was simply amazing! Lastly, yes, you'd get for what you'd pay for! The quality of the food here is exceptional! Come hungry and ready to eat! read more

My husband and I have been in Europe the past 2 weeks and visited 5 cities. We pay a visit to a Vietnamese restaurant in each city and Lac Hong in Paris has been by far the best I've had. Best even compared to restaurants in California! I was born in Hanoi and raised in the states but have been back to Vietnam a dozen times...I'm quite particular in my selection of Vietnamese food as I travel to find the best spots We ordered: 1. Lobster Papaya Salad - unique non traditional ingredient (lobster) dish, but very good! 2. Nem Rán - very crispy and fragrant just like from Bun Cha Hang Manh in Hanoi 3. Bún Riêu - fresh crab, not from cans like done in the states 4. Pho Ha Noi - hearty pure beef broth that must've been cooked at least 12 hours. Portions are quite small considering we are from the US, however authentic Vietnamese cuisine is meant to be served in very small portions where you'll always want more after cleaning up your plate! I will definitely bring my parents here next time in Paris! read more

I am a huge fan! Four stars! This little gem is hidden near La Place Victor Hugo, behind a most solid store front- once inside, you enter an eclectic world that is Asian, Paris, and Miami sound machine all tied up in one. Gorgeous aquariums, fun lighting, and wall art- Just perhaps one of the most unique, eclectic, must-try restaurants in Paris. The owner and chef came out, introduced herself to us, and took the menus, telling us to trust her, she would cook for us. We did. It was worth it. First came the Lobster salad - Pieces of lobster served with Vietnamese slaw, freshest of fresh cilantro, basil, lime in a stunning lobster arrangement on a platter. We finished that. Next, came the ribs, seasoned to perfection and served with fragrant fried rice. Finally, we were served poached fish with tender veggies in the most amazing, flavorful sauce. We enjoyed our meal with Thai beers. Dinner with 4 beers came to 135 Euros. My only disappointment was that I WAS STILL HUNGRY! I WANTED MORE!!! Luckily we got some peanuts with our drinks at the next stop..... However, I will go back! read more

Grew up in heavy Vietnamese Community, I was having a mad craving for it since I Service was alright. The owner recommend me to trying some of the specialties dishes. I went in specifically for the Pho after reading a few reviews hoping for nothing but positive results. To put it bluntly, I was disappointed at the quantity and quality served. I had high expectations from an authentic establishment and I felt like it was just simply a tourist trap. For $15.99, the bowl of pho came in children's size. The quality of the noodles were overcooked and the little tid-bits of meat were just swimming in the bowl. Regretfully, I have to say I would not return for the pho. read more

This was definitely one of my best meal in Paris! Tuyet, the owner came out and greeted us, made recommendations, then cooked her favorite selections for us to try. She made the perfect amount of food as to not overstuff or overcharge is and she even split the pho amongst five people so we can all have a taste. Everything we ate was so delicious. The banh xeo is a must, and so are her beef spring rolls. We also tried the stir fried noodles, fried fish and spring rolls and pho. All of which was amazing. If you're looking for Vietnamese food in Paris, you should definitely pay Lac Hong a visit! read more

On our last night in Paris we wanted to try some Thai food. I looked up the best Thai restaurants near our hotel, and this place popped up. Tina, The restaurant owner, came over to our table immediately and chatted with us. She couldn't have been nicer and was very knowledgeable about pretty much everything on the menu. We ordered the pancakes (pretty much the best thing ever), the dumplings, and the short rib. The dinner was absolutely delicious, and all of the ingredients were fresh and prepared perfectly. We were delighted with how lovely this restaurant was-- the reviews were right!! We highly recommend it!! read more

I've had pho many times in Los Angeles but nothing like Lac Hong. To start off the fried egg rolls and shrimp spring rolls were both delicious and delicate. The star of our meal was the pho. Broth was deep and rich. The chef explained that the broth is stewed overnight. The meat was soft and clean because each piece is individually washed by hand. You'll see the difference in the soup. You won't see any grease/ oil floating in the broth. THE BEST PHO IVE HAD. MUST TRY!!! read more

Before you go thinking why we would go for Vietnamese food in Paris?! Our stay was for a couple weeks and after the first few days we stated craving something other than French food, it was just getting too heavy. We loved it so much we came back twice!This place should get a Michelin star. It's not fancy or crowded... So, when I first came I was like "err... We're like the third customer, you sure we at the right place?" But boy, we were in for a treat and the food took us on a journey... all her dishes are prepared fresh and made by her and a group of Vietnamese ladies. It's so fresh, nothing like I've ever tasted. Not even at the best Vietnamese restaurant in LA and the Bay Area...not even comparable to the homemade pho made by a my Vietnamese friend aunt (sorry!) We had the pho tai (the broth is cooked over 24 hours) and shrimp roll and man the broth was just so amazing! No msg just really beefy flavors with other secret spices. Second time, we called in advance to have her prepare us her lobster salad and bun rieu (crab and tomato based broth) - again both were excellent. I don't usually like salads (More of a carnivore) or bun rieu because it's usually too sweet/tomato-ey. Her salad was so refreshing, perfect for an appetizer and the lobster was soooo good! The bun rieu was made with quality ingredients as well. The crab flavor in the broth was beyond words. Seriously, if you're in Paris... You must visit this place. I promise it'll be an amazing experience and nothing like you've ever tasted! read more

SAVE YOURSELF and your $$$. I'm all for paying good money for good food and great service but that's not what we got at this restaurant. Food was MEDIOCRE, service was TERRIBLE and the prices were OUTRAGEOUS. Here's what we got for 65E ($80): 2 egg rolls, bun thit nuong, beef pho (think kid's size), coke and coconut water. I finished my kids pho 20 minutes before my husband even got his food. Towards the end, the cook came out to proudly boast how her's is the best Vietnamese food in all of Paris - a bold statement! I wish I had read the negative reviews before trekking across town to satisfy my cravings. Now I feel it's my obligation to warn others to stay away. Can't understand all the hype from the other reviews. read more

I was around the arc area checking out Paris when my girlfriend had a craving for Viet food, so we checked out this spot with good reviews. However, worst pho place I've ever been to, not a doubt about it. Oh lawd, not only is it that but it's expensive... $15 for a child's sized bowl of pho with bland broth. The hoisin sauce was brown and watery. I'm not sure if it's because they think most people in the area haven't had it or pho before but hoisin sauce is supposed to be thick and black. Definitely watered down everything with hiked up prices. I was banking on the fact that native Vietnamese food has French influence, so it would be pretty close to home. I'm sure there's other places that are better so you should start there. +1 star for hot broth on a cold day. read more

Great find from yelp! A. Pho beef broth had zero fat left in it! It wasn't heavy. The noodles were fresh. I am use to bean sprout, basil and lime on the side, but it didn't need it! B. Canh cua (sweet & sour soup) was top notch! The fish was fresh and the base was evenly seasoned. C. Overall, one of the best in Paris! Yes, better than places in the 13th! I want back the next day! 1. Metro - Set back from main road and a brisk walk from Metro Alma or Victor Hugo 2. Interior is cozy and comfortable. Quick story- Got in late and our hotel called her, but she was closed. (11:45pm) After speaking to her personally, she told me she would re-open for us! When the meal came, I was objective and didn't let the extra treatment sway my vote. She told us her broth process, since I told her I also owned a restaurant. She really puts her heart into her food! read more

This was our 9th night in France and we needed a break from the rich food we'd been consuming....enter Lac Hong! The Hanoi-style pho was delicious! It's different from the pho we're used to in the U.S. which is Saigon/southern-style (I had to look this up as this was new to me!). So we ordered the Hanoi pho which is earthy, peppery and rich with beef goodness. It only has noodles (thicker than the Saigon-style pho), beef, onions and green herbs. This broth is 100% authentic and bursting with flavor, no msg - just clean rich slow-cooked beef broth. We also ordered the Buddha-style vegetables and the stuffed crab. Vegetables were fresh and delicious and the stuffed crab appetizer was chock-full of crab, and slightly sweet. The food felt very authentic, down-home and delicious. Highly recommend for those looking for some good Vietnamese in Paris! read more

The WORST restaurant I've ever been to in many ways, the limited choice on the menu, the bad attitude from the waiters and the eating environment. We made a reservation for 8:30 with a part of 2 and they gave us a tiny table. The restaurant was, well still is, pretty empty. So we requested if we can move to a table next to the air conditioning (it's 35 Outside, inside it's even worse). The waiter said no because that table was reserved. Ok understandable. (It would be nice if you can show some politeness) 5 min later they gave it to another two people walking in. We were asking about it the waiter got really impatient and said: "You can go if you don't want to sit here, it's fine." Ok. If I'm allowed to give a 0 I would've. read more

I know it's sound weird. But couple years ago I watch Maria Heart YouTube channel. I saw the owner in that video just for couple seconds.

However, because of the strike her restaurant is low on staff, so we got a chance to see the owner. She was so special and unique. You can feel her passion about cooking in the way she talk to you. Me and my husband are amazed on how hard she works. Even now, she stills cook everything by herself for the last 28 years. We was so surprise how much she care about the food , ingredients, preparation. I'm pregnant , so the food I eat need to stay like homemade. It was no doubt that is how quality her food is. The food made me feel so comfortable like home. You must come here once. If you are lucky , you will have a chance to talk to the owner. I'm thanking God for me to see her today.

Do not come to this place if you are Vietnamese or want to try Vietnamese food. And the prices are crazy even for Paris. Just like the French, we Vietnamese are selective about our food, especially what i gredients go with what dish. From my experience and looking at the pictures here on Yelp, this restaurant uses the same combination of herbs for almost all the dishes, which indicates a complete lack of understanding of Vietnamese food. They used mùi gai and rau răm, two herbs with VERY STRONG smell in almost all the dishes, from Hanoi Pho (which is absolutely a no no) to Bun thit nuong. Ask any Vietnamese and they will tell you they have never had mùi gai and rau răm in their bún tht nng. It's just wrong and totally overwhelmed and covered other flavors of the dish. Now talking about my specific experience at this restaurant. Husband and I ordered imperial rolls, bun bo Hue, and bun thit nuong. The imperial rolls took A Long Time to come out and they were actually good and full but the fish sauce was too sour. Let me tell you that I love sour taste and I put lemon/vinegar in a lot of things but this dipping was way too sour even for me. It didn't have the balance of sweet and tanginess that Vietnamese food is famous for. The rest of our food took about 45 minutes to come out eventhough the restaurant was not even crowded. Their bun bo Hue tasted nothing like bun bo Hue. It also came with only beef and missed the rest of the ingredients. There was no smell of mam ruoc, lemongrass, or the spiciness of sate'. My bun thit nuong (vermicelli noodles with grilled meat and imperial roll) came out without any vermicelli!? I had to ask the waiter (who was nice btw) to confirm if the food was made correctly. Again, the dipping sauce for the dish was too sour, I had to ask for sugar to balance out the taste. I'm from Ha Noi btw and we don't use a lot of sugar in our food but I had to ask for sugar because the dish was so sour. On top of that the herb combination for the dish was completely wrong, which was such a waste because the meat actually tasted great. Main course, I believe was at least 16-18 Euros for a small portion. Appertizers were around 13-50 Euros. They charged 29 Euro for papaya salad eventhough one green papaya, which makes 2-3 dishses, cost around 3-5 Euros in Paris. Doesn't make sense when the food doesn't even taste good. We ate out throughout our trip to Paris and even at the nicest restaurant, no salad dishes cost about 30 Euros. Our best meal in Paris, the entree was a 20 Euros beef bourguignon & 3 sides and it came with such big portion that was enough for both myself and my husband. So do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant. You are not missing out. read more
