    I live in Nice, I'm Asian, I speak B1 level French but when I first started coming here, I spoke A1…read morelevel French. The owners are a couple. The wife speaks English. The husband has always spoken to me in French. Even if the restaurant is empty when you walk in, it doesn't mean the restaurant doesn't have reservations for later. Restaurants in Nice usually just do one seating per table. I always get the Crab Salad and Bo Bun. The Crab in the salad is REAL and not imitation. The dressing is a refreshing lemon dressing. I've had Pho here as well. I'm a regular here. I'm Japanese American and the owners are NOT racist.

    Came here on a quiet weeknight in November and the restaurant was completely empty except for 2…read moreguests at a table. Went in and the owner asked if we had reservations. We said no and he said we cannot dine without reservations. He said somethings in French we didn't understand and he didn't translate. I don't know what his business practice is, but to turn away walk ins when your restaurant is completely empty in low season and probably will not have any guests come that night is ridiculous to me. I have read reviews that said he's racist and turns away Asian non French speaking customers. Cannot verify that but that would be so sad because he's Asian too. How much self hate does he have? I feel sorry for him. Either way if you're Asian and get turned away, or if you're non Asian and was allowed to eat here without reservations let me know. I'm curious why he has a restaurant like this!
