I expected a lot from Mamasan after having read all the positive reviews from yelp. Finally I went for a lunch with a friend today. We ordered two rice noodles, bo bun and the vegetarian one with tofu. honestly, both of us think that the quality is average. the beef in my bo bun was a bit dry and bland to me. my friend tried a bit from my bowl and she said that my noodle has more flavor than hers. i also think that the quantity is a bit small(more like a salad serving for me). we were a little bit disappointed and didn't have any desire for a dessert after.
positive point: the bar decor is good. the boss seemed nice and very talkative when he knew that i come from china.
overall, the food isnt bad. it's not exciting neither. i wouldnt pay for a bobun at 15e which is not different from the average asian restautents in lyon. i think the best vietnamese noodle that i had in lyon was the asian corner in Miribel. authentic street flavor garanteed:) read more
