After a night and morning of agonizing over food poisoning, we decided to take a gamble of some pho…read morein France. Logically speaking we had a chance of it being good; France had colonies in Vietnam, so some secrets of pho must have been shared right? Nope. Xuan was marketed as a Vietnamese and Hong Kong restaurant. Not sure what that means but we ordered a bowl of pho and won ton soup. The pho was all kinds of wrong; wrong (and overcooked) noodles, weird meat, strange broth, but it wasn't disgusting, it just wasn't pho. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/94zm3e4nStFqZdBcdDGpWg?select=qOXhnYLKu7PUbDiZb00U-w#qOXhnYLKu7PUbDiZb00U-w The won ton soup faired a little better, but wasn't anything I'd go back for. More overcooked noodles and a very thin broth made for meh eats. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/94zm3e4nStFqZdBcdDGpWg?select=PczG4mtSdG5R5umv6EE0Xw#PczG4mtSdG5R5umv6EE0Xw We didn't expect much and we didn't get much. But given our state at the time, this was all we could stomach.

My husband ordered the special of the day which was a pork caramel dish over rice. The lady literally microwaved his plate nearby behind the counter. We could hear the timer go off. WTH? Meanwhile, she wasn't that friendly either. A little while later my husband suffered cotton mouth, numb tongue, and gaseous bloating - symptoms consistent with MSG overdose. Wait, it gets worse... CASH ONLY and it is not cheap. PAS BIEN!

We walked past this restaurant/takeaway at lunchtime and it was full of people so we decided to…read morecheck it out for dinner even though we had fairly low expectations (I am Asian). We ordered some fried rice & chicken & vegetables to takeaway and heat back at our apartment. We were pleasantly surprised - it was probably the best Asian food we've had in Europe and we've tried a few places which have ranged from the surreal to bland. The flavours were reasonable and the food was fresh - we did think that the takeaway containers sizes were a little small in comparison to Australia.

After weeks of Spanish and French food, my cravings for Asian food could no longer be ignored…read more I noticed they have Vietnamese fondue which is basically "bo 7 mon" (aka 7 courses of beef) minus the other 6 dishes. It's pretty straight forward - you get a warm bowl of water to dip the dry rice paper in. Then you place your rice paper on your plate (key is to keep the dish dry) and load up on vegetables. you get a vinegar broth to cook the meat in and once meat is cooked, you place it on top of your vegetables / rice paper. Start rolling your own rolls and dip in the fish sauce. The rice paper is too small to try to fold it all on 4 sides. At home, I eat this quite a bit (of course, a bit different) so I was happy to see this so close to our place. Ordering was very straight forward. Service is attentive. Bonus: the owner speaks Vietnamese, some waitresses speak Chinese, most speak English, and all of them speak French. You can't go wrong. The Vietnamese fondue hit the spot for us and brought me back home in the middle of Aix. Even though the menu swings from Thai to Chinese to Korean (which is pretty weird but not really surprising), the Vietnamese fondue is fairly authentic. No mam nem sauce but the nuoc mam was fine. Ask for the rooster sauce for spice. It's about 19 euro per person to order this. All vegetables can be refilled for free. You can definitely have a nice meal here without hurting your wallet. We ended up ordering a bottle of rose and 2 extra plates of beef (30 euro) so our bill was about 90 euro total. Pretty pricy for something I eat so regularly at home but worth it for us.

The restaurant is located in a neighborhood only lively during night time. Bars on the street, attracting hundreds of students to this area, seeking for drinks, smoke, socializing, and the most obvious food/snack. Once we get inside we were politely greeted and unlike most restaurants, the owners do speak fluent English. The lady owner used to have Teppanyaki restaurants in Miami but decided to go back to France after 15 years (she was born/raised in France). We ordered the combos, starting from chicken soup, Vietnamese salad w/ chicken/crab, and the main courses: caramelized pork and chicken on top of fried egg noodles. The starters were great especially the soup and they are quite filling! The main courses were well seasoned and satisfied our craving for Asian food. The ambiance is different (classy Asian) and service decent. Between the two of us we spent €39 and completely full... definitely would recommend this place
