Catching up on some reviews...had a long think about this one. On a weekday evening in Jan 2024 I…read moreneeded a quick, light dinner near the train station and this place is very close, like a block and a half away. A handful of people were seated inside this small Vietnamese restaurant so I figured I'd give it a shot. Inside it seats about 20ish people, very utilitarian no frills. I should've known something was off when I walked in, asked to be seated and they showed me a table and didn't bring me a menu until I asked for it. Maybe they expected me to order off the menu on the wall? Fine, no biggie. I placed an order for regular pho before taking a look at my surroundings a little bit closer. Everything was not the cleanest...the exteriors of the sauce bottles were oily and the tops of the lids looked like they had never been cleaned. The outer parts of the containers holding the utensils looked like they hadn't been wiped down in months. It made me feel uneasy about their hygiene practices. I've had street food in many places more clean than this; this stuff was caked on...it shows a lack of attention to detail or effort, or both. To make things worse, the staff was having a full blown argument the entire time I was there--it's an open kitchen and they were yelling at each other. Not talking loudly, YELLING. Back and forth for at least 20 minutes (not sure how long this continued after I left). How uncomfortable for the several customers trying to eat while hearing a clearly tense commotion going on in the kitchen. Super awkward to eat in silence while listening to the staff fight. The pho itself was pretty mediocre; the broth was on the blander side, the amount of bean sprouts provided were minimal, but I was hungry so I ate what I could, paid the bill and left as quickly as I could. While the staff didn't direct their frustrations at the customers, they also didn't make any effort to apologize for their behavior. Would not come back or recommend to anyone unless their practices have vastly improved since then.

This is one of those places that gives you the feeling, in a non-creepy way, that the whole reason they started the business was in order to serve someone like you. And finally, after all those years of working hard and waiting, there you are in all your glory. All-in-all, O'Crazy offers an unpretentious atmosphere, cheap but good quality food, and (you guessed it) warm and hearty service, in a city where the latter by no means is taken for granted.

The service was friendly and the server (likely the owner) spoke English. I ordered the vegan option and the bf ordered beef. We both enjoyed our pho and it totally hit the spot. For my order, I wish they offered tofu but I get that it might not be an easy ingredient to come by in this area. All in all, it was nice meal.

I loved that they had vegan options, which is to be expected with vietnamese, but this wasn't your usual vietnamese food. It had something more exciting to it, and I would eat what I had over and over again. I got the Udon Sate which was one of their vegan options. It had the perfect amount of spice (too spicy for my French boyfriend, but he doesn't ever like anything spicy), so much flavor, and the texture of the udon was perfect. He got the Canto Rice and the presentation was great, the dish was delicious, and also full of flavor. I think about my udon all the time, I'm already looking forward to returning to Nice so I can get it again :D

The highlight is definitely the food. I was really impressed by the quality of the nems. They were really crunchy, tasty and not greasy at all. The pork Bobun and the tofu Bobun were really good, with interesting yet perfect flavor profiles. I will definitely go back when craving Vietnamese food.

Villafranche Sur Mer is just a medium-sized town in Nice..I was surprised to find a Vietnames restaurant here. So I was expecting the food will not be authentic. Well, I guess this one is not. BUT to my big surprise the food is excellent. The beef was so tender as well as the calamari. The ambience, of course, is superb with the Frech Riviera background. The service is also excellent.

The service was awful; it was as if the waitress had a personal vendetta against me. She begrudgingly took my order and took 20 mins just to give me wine and water. The food (I ordered the beef pho special) can adequately be summed up with a "meh." There was too much noodle and not enough soup, which was lukewarm at best. The small patio ambiance also sucked big time. Twice one of the waiters lit his cig, trailing disgusting smoke on my food before stepping out.

The best meal I had so far being abroad!!! Incredible!! This place wasn't even on my list of places…read moreto go on yelp but we stayed in the hostel hotel Ozz right next to this place and saw it walking by and knew that Vietnamese food was supposedly very good in France so it was on our list of must haves. It was a group of 5 and we all mostly got something different to try. I got the spicy beef pho and was so so happy with my choice. It wasn't crazy spicy which I was happy about because I was able to add in spicy chili sauce they give to you on every table! You must get pho when you go to this place and don't even bother getting any appetizers because they were a little on the pricey side. Instead I got one pho for myself and then split a medium sized dish with one of my friends. We got the chicken curry. Don't remember the name of it exactly but it's another must have!! If you look at my picture I posted you can figure it out because the menu is all pictures which is nice considering I don't know must Vietnamese dishes names by heart.

The place was dirty, and they charged me 3 euros for tap water that tasted terrible. The food portions were small and didn't taste good. I've been to other Vietnamese restaurants in Nice, and this one was the worst. I don't get why it has good reviews. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I didn't take any pictures of the restaurant or dishes. The owner and his two friends were standing right behind my table, talking loudly in both French and Vietnamese. It was so uncomfortable. I couldn't finish my meal and just left halfway through.
