I had the chicken with noodles and vegetables. If you want it Heated, they'll heat it, or you can take it cold. I also tried their coconut Boules dessert. The initial try of this dessert was very good, but later In the week, it was slightly dry and not as appetizing. Usually there's a Line out the door. They take cash only.

This is, with out a doubt, one of the top 5 eating establishments in Aix. Yes, that's right, one of…read morethe top eateries in Aix is Vietnamese. It is a very small restaurant. I do believe they have one table, so the food is almost always "to-go"'. It's perfect during Spring, where you can sit on a fountain, or in the park, and enjoy the wonderful weather and Nguyen Thanh's culinary perfection. The food here is perfect, and the owners ensure this quality with painstaking detail. The food is very fresh, light, and flavor-blasted. As with the other reviewer, I also suggest the "Magic Bo Bun". When your food is served, they take great care to make sure an even and perfect proportion of meat, vegetables, noodles, and sauce is given to each customer, and they ladle your food onto your plate with such care and love. This is perfect and must not change - it is what makes this place so special; however, I must warn you, eating here is a test of patience.* And I'm not talking about American fast-food patience - I know many French who have given up on the wait, but it is worth it. If there are 10 people waiting in line for food, you will be waiting for 20-30 minutes, so bring a book or a friend, because a little extra time shouldn't keep you from some of the best Vietnamese food in the world. *Note: The last time I ate here was in 2008, so I'm not too sure if the long wait still exists.

Will be coming here tomorrow as it'll be May 1st n most places will be closed. Ok, second time now bc it's close to where we're staying. Last nt's visit, sure, the ingredients are different than what is available in the US so everything tasted different. This is France so I'm sure ingredients are hard time come by but, still, it was comfort cooking. This is a small mom n pop restaurant with eight tables off the main road. Easy access. Second visit, we had two dishes n each separate white rice bowls. Spicy beef with vegetables in a cumin flavored sauce n chicken vegetables in the more traditional Vietnamese mild nam pla sauce. Ok, I get where the lower rated reviews are coming from bc it's not what we're traditionally use to in flavors. But, if u had taken a whole bite of everything in the dish, u would hv found that the choice of ingredients all put together made a very tasty meal! Not too salty, not too sweet, but lots of simple umami. In other words, comfort food for weary travelers. Mind you, the chicken n the beef was over cooked but how I enjoyed it was from the overall flavors that meld together. I think every cook or chef, like an artist, has his or her own way of creating their creations. As for those low reviews, I hope u will be open to reviewing each dish by what u are tasting, not by "authenticity" as after all we are in France.

We saw that they had takeout but also a beautiful restaurant (and their own parking lot) so we gave it a go. We didn't have a reservation and they accepted our party of 4 as a walk in. Food was great! There was a fluent English speaking gentleman, Kim, who helped us and he was so so kind and helpful. We tried to order a few things on the menu they were out of, but at least in one case they offered a delicious alternative. It was a cold and rainy day and we even got an off-menu Pho with incredibly tender beef. And I will think about the delicious salmon skewers for a long time. I will caution that the price relative to some of the portions for this type of food was a little high - but also if you bear in mind that everything down here is a bit more because of the all-year-long tourist season it isn't out of line.

L'Apsara delivers delicious classic dishes in both traditions. My husband ordered the large portion Bo Bun and I had the chicken Pad Thai noodles. Both dishes were served with perfectly cooked noodles and quality ingredients, spiced just right. However, the highlight was our shared entree, the summer rolls (Les roulettes printemps), topped with chopped peanuts and served with a delicate sweet sour spicy vinegar dipping sauce. These three dishes along with a carafe of chilled rose totaled only 36 euros! Great, friendly service, too. Highly recommended.

At first, I didn't have high expectations about Asian restaurants in a touristy town in France…read more When my airbnb host told us that this was the BEST Asian restaurant, I didn't take it seriously. I had traveled in France and Barcelona for almost two weeks by then, and I had been craving for Korean--but not an option--or any spicy Asian foods. This restaurant IS amazing! I have to say that the food that we had was better than most Asian restaurants anywhere in the US or other cities. The fresh summer roll was excellent and the wok dishes (beef and seafood) were perfect! While we were in Arles for three nights, we went back to this restaurant every single day. The staff was very kind, but if you go there for dinner, the service might be slow.
