Worst dining experience of my LIFE. I came here because of the good reviews, but my boyfriend…read morealready warned me of the old man's temper... I thought he was joking until I witnessed his eyes rolling, tossing plates on the table and being very stingy with ingredients, I was too scared to even ask him for anything else! He would roll his eyes at us and huff and puff at us. My order was wrong I was worries to asked to fix it and was scared he would spit in my food, I would have left a tip but after that disrespect, forget about it! I am truly shocked. Don't work in the service industry if you are so angry! La pire expérience culinaire de ma VIE. Je suis venue ici à cause des bons avis, mais mon copain m'avait déjà prévenue du tempérament du vieux... Je pensais qu'il plaisantait jusqu'à ce que je le voie lever les yeux au ciel, jeter des assiettes sur la table et être très avare avec les ingrédients, j'avais trop peur de lui demander autre chose ! Il levait les yeux au ciel et soufflait encore et encore. Ma commande était erronée, j'avais peur qu'on me demande de la réparer et j'avais peur qu'il crache dans ma nourriture, j'aurais laissé un pourboire mais après ce manque de respect, oublie ça ! Je suis vraiment choqué. Ne travaille pas dans le secteur des services si tu es si en colère !

Very disappointing. Ok service, zero ambiance, very very mediocre food. Better Vietnamese in Ohio.read more

I was craving Asian food and when I walked past Tonkin Food, I decided to give it a try...what a…read morefind! Delicious food...the rice was perfect..firm but moist. The beef was tender and well marinated. YUM!! Nice friendly staff Clean place.

I was not going to Aix expecting spectacular Asian food; so, I will say that Tonkin met my…read moreexpectations. I enjoyed a spring roll and a bowl of beef pho, along with a glass of white wine. The server was sweet and attentive and the food was good enough to satisfy a craving. The spring roll was better than the pho and was served with a good peanut dipping sauce. The pho did not come with the standard plate of additions, nor did they have hoisin or sriracha to add. However, as others have noted, the beef was tender and the broth was tasty enough on its own (though, I prefer to make it quite a bit spicier with jalapenos, lime, and sriracha). Recommended to scratch that itch for Asian food if in Aix. Their dining area is small, but service is solid.

This take out restaurant has been in Aix-en-Provence for many years…read more There is no inside dining, just take out. They have several choices Every day. I had the chicken with noodles and vegetables. If you want it Heated, they'll heat it, or you can take it cold. I also tried their coconut Boules dessert. The initial try of this dessert was very good, but later In the week, it was slightly dry and not as appetizing. Usually there's a Line out the door. They take cash only.

This is, with out a doubt, one of the top 5 eating establishments in Aix. Yes, that's right, one of…read morethe top eateries in Aix is Vietnamese. It is a very small restaurant. I do believe they have one table, so the food is almost always "to-go"'. It's perfect during Spring, where you can sit on a fountain, or in the park, and enjoy the wonderful weather and Nguyen Thanh's culinary perfection. The food here is perfect, and the owners ensure this quality with painstaking detail. The food is very fresh, light, and flavor-blasted. As with the other reviewer, I also suggest the "Magic Bo Bun". When your food is served, they take great care to make sure an even and perfect proportion of meat, vegetables, noodles, and sauce is given to each customer, and they ladle your food onto your plate with such care and love. This is perfect and must not change - it is what makes this place so special; however, I must warn you, eating here is a test of patience.* And I'm not talking about American fast-food patience - I know many French who have given up on the wait, but it is worth it. If there are 10 people waiting in line for food, you will be waiting for 20-30 minutes, so bring a book or a friend, because a little extra time shouldn't keep you from some of the best Vietnamese food in the world. *Note: The last time I ate here was in 2008, so I'm not too sure if the long wait still exists.

Façade jaune vif, petite terrasse, une fontaine lui fait face. La fondue et les aliments cuits à la vapeur sont les deux grandes spécialités du restaurant. Petit prix, et on le répète, la petite place dans laquelle s'est niché le Sinh Ky est vraiment très agréable. D'ailleurs des restos d'à peu près tous les pays du monde s'y sont installés.
