Came here upon the recommendation of a friend and unfortunately it was just not it. I really wanted…read moreto like it because it looked like a cute little spot, that was run by a little old lady. We came in on a Monday at around 12:45. There are only about 6 tables (2 inside and 4 outside) and there were 2 other tables dining there at the time. Service is very slow, understandably so since it's a one-woman show. This might be okay if the food was good but it was not and it was pretty expensive for (less than) standard Vietnamese food.
To start, we ordered the chicken cha gio. This was actually really good and definitely the best thing we ate here. It was perfectly fried and the filling was super flavorful. It comes with fish sauce and a side of a really spicy and delicious chili garlic hot sauce. For mains, we had the beef pho and tomato rice with beef cubes. The noodles aren't fresh pho noodles but seemed like the dry ones. The broth itself tasted like they added beef bouillon in it. Also, I don't know if this is a French or actual Vietnamese thing, but it didn't come with any bean sprouts, cilantro, or jalapeño. It was also half the size than what I'm used to at home so I left still feeling hungry. The tomato rice wasn't actually tomato rice. It was just white rice sprinkled with some tomato seasoning. Beef was lackluster as well.
There are plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants in Paris. I would suggest going to those.
