There is ethnic diversity in Annecy and France, but I was disappointed in the lack of ethnic diversity in cuisine. I have always loved different Asian cuisines and considered myself lucky for living in Los Angeles, but there are few Asian restaurants in Annecy. I discovered Fan House as it was adjacent to the Airbnb where I was staying. I was pleasantly surprised by the outstanding food. It was far superior to almost every Chinese restaurant that I have dined at during my whole life in the Los Angeles area! Like most French restaurants you are able to taste every ingredient in the dish. It is hard to find a bad restaurant in France and this restaurant meets the high standards that the French are known for. I highly recommend Fan House. You will not find this restaurant by just walking down the street. It is tucked away in a passageway with other little shops off of Rue Sommelier and Rue Vaugelas. Look for the marquee of the Le Garage Disco and it will be right inside opposite Le Garage. It is also adjacent to the Pré Carré in the heart of the city near Bonlieu. I have since, dined there several times and very pleased every time that I have gone.

Gem of a little authentic Cambodian restaurant, new to Annecy, which also has dishes from…read moreneighboring Vietnam and Thailand. Friendly, delicious and great ingredients--the prices are higher than the average Asian restaurant, but justified by the difference in quality. I hadn't had Cambodian food before, and really enjoyed tasting food that was new, but also familiar, as it is has a lot in common the cuisines of neighboring Vietnam and Thailand. And also (if I remember correctly what the waiter said), the chef's wife is Vietnamese...and the restaurant has a Bo Bun (noodle bowl) on the menu. I didn't try that for my first visit....instead I ordered the special of the day, for 22 euros. I chose the special because it had three different dishes, so I'd get to try a mix of things. The chef delivered the meal himself, and told me it was like a home cooked meal in Cambodia. Apparently it's common there, when time and money permit, to eat a mix of different dishes rather than just one large portion of the same thing. Lots of fun when you're a gourmande like me! The quality of the ingredients and the preparation was excellent--a far cry from the pre-made nems reheated in a microwave so typical of Asian traiteurs in France. My favorite of the three dishes was tender chicken chunks and vegetables in a savory coconut broth, which reminded me of a Thai Tom Yum soup. The coconut broth was absolutely delicious. The chef brought me a Nuoc Mam (fermented fish sauce) with spicy red peppers as an optional addition to this. The fish sauce was spicy and strong and wonderful (the kind of thing you'll love, if you like that sort of thing, and I do), but the coconut sauce was so good by itself I ended up not using much of the Nuoc Mam. The other two dishes were a tender carmelized porc dish, shredded in a brown sauce with quartered hard-boiled eggs, and an amazing bowl of rice. It was labeled "Cantonese rice" but it had nothing in common with the typical peas and egg concoction typically found in France. The flavor was a very mild aromatic spice flavor (not sure what but it was *good*) with a small amount (just right) of Chinese sausage, barbecue pork and scrambled egg mixed in. Some reviews on another site talk of long waits here for your food. I came early on a Sunday night, and I didn't wait long at all. However, the waiter told me the wait for food can be significant when there's a crowd (particularly on Friday and Saturday nights) because everything is made to order, and the kitchen is small, with just the chef and no assistants. So basically, if you're in a hurry, don't come here when it's busy! Sam' Angkor has been around for a while as a "Traiteur" or take-out place in La Roche Sur Foron. The Annecy restaurant location opened (I believe) in May. I plan to come back and try the Pad Thai (apparently it's the Thai dish as it would be eaten in Cambodia...) and the Bo Bun, so I'll update after I've tried those!

The fried rice was a little greasy but it was pretty good overall. The soups were nice and hot and hit the spot. It is a good-sized portion and if you can read Chinese, it helps you that much more. I really liked this place and I think everyone should give it a chance.

The selection here is OK but not extensive. It suffers from the normal Chinese buffet problem that the food is warm rather than hot when you help yourself from the counter. In summary if you want a moderately priced meal (we paid around 45EUR for two including drinks) in a clean restaurant then this is fine. Don't expect a top notch Chinese dining experience but if you are on holiday in the area and want something different from the French restaurants one evening, particularly if you have kids, this place is OK.

For the weird time, it was still pretty crowded. Vietnamese spring rolls - tasted like they left it in the fryer for a tad too long Salt and pepper fried squid - the flavor was okay, but it wasn't really that crispy. This had the opposite problem of the spring rolls. Chicken and salted fish fried rice - very little salted fish. In fact, I'm not sure there was even any in there because I didn't really taste the salted fish. It was pretty much just chicken fried rice, which wasn't bad. Beef with vegetables - pretty standard. The portions are small (at least compared to NYC) but with the amount we ordered, it was enough for two people. We had some leftovers. So if you are doing family style and have a large group, you might want to order a bit more. I'm not sure how many other Chinese restaurants are in town but I'm thinking there has to be a better one somewhere. Basic food aside, the atmosphere is kind of shady. Apparently there's a gambling machine in the back by the restroom, with shady dudes hanging around by it and smoking cigarettes. Maybe takeout and bringing it back to the hotel would have been a better option.
