One minor point , In terms of originality ( and those who have been in vietnam) it falls a bit short , but nevertheless it should not deviate too much from the french tastebuds to appeal clients ... Highly recommended. ,,!!

It's a family-owned restaurant in La Part Dieu, and it was completely packed during lunch. A young girl served me because she was the only one who spoke English fluently. I ordered the pork bún rice vermicelli, and it was so refreshing and flavorful, especially with the table-side nuoc cham sauce. The ambiance of the restaurant was both cozy and hip; this was easily one of my favorite dining experiences while in France.

The aromatic smell reminds me of my own childhood time in Vietnam. The owner is really nice as well as her staffs.

The owner even offered us 2 free expresso since we were waiting a little longer for our food but obviously cause we didn't have any reservations the place was packed inside. We sat outside since the weather was perfectly for soup. My bf and definitely will visit again. Merci Beaucoup Chez Ba Noi !

We sat outside, and even it was a little small, still cozy and a lot of stuff going on around us (we like that). As appetizers we received free crab chips and a bottle of tap water (which you get everywhere). The food we ordered was a noodle soup (beef pho) and a dish with rice (the small one on the photo). The taste? Amazing!! Compared what I am used to back in Germany (in terms of Asian food), this was really pretty much gourmet for Asians. I could taste all the flavor of both dishes, and every bit was worth it. And even the portions, at least mine, were not too big, I was totally satisfied! I'd rather prefer really nice food instead of quantity, so this would be the place to go! Oh, also, even there is the free tap water, order the coconut drink!! That's amazing ;) Since we are in Lyon, we want to try out some more restaurants, but I can imagine that we will come back soon!

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:)
