    Pho was exceptional, though I wouldn't recommend the Bun Rieu, and the Bun Bo Hue is OK. This was my go-to place for pho in Paris. At €9 a bowl with quick service and that authentic pho broth, I'm more than satisfied.

    We have been here at least 4 times, mom and dad said this was their favorite casual Vietnamese restaurants in Paris.

    We do enjoy the Pho noodle soup on the raining days. Which it'd been raining here in Paris off and on for 2 weeks.

    They offer fresh herbs, basil, bean sprouts and even the rare Ngò Gai (Vietnamese Cilantro), that's what we call it. Mom loves that.

    Service was always friendly. The food was cheap compare to other places here. I was glad to find a spot that mom and dad enjoyed here. Too bad Yelp didn't have much info on the place. I got to ask a lot of the local.

    Oh a big Vietnamese population lives here in Paris and the suburbs since the 1940s. French colonialism in Vietnam lasted more than six decades. By the late 1880s France controlled Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, which it referred to as Indochine Francais (French Indochina). Indochina became one of France's most lucrative colonial possessions.

    Every day was 7-9 hours of walking every where, so by the end of the day, a bowl of Pho would do the trick, no fancy place was needed. We came home to grandma, and a bottle of Bordeaux to end the night.

    I walk by this place whenever I go grocery shopping, and the smell is always so enticing while the place is always packed to the max with people speaking loudly in Vietnamese. Unfortunately, because I only go grocery shopping alone, it has taken me a long time before I actually stepped foot into the place.

    Their menu is actually quite small and I imagine that that's what it would be like eating street pho - there's a variety of pho bases you can choose from, but you dont get to choose what type of protein goes into your bowl - they have your typical Pho Dac Biet (special pho) with raw beef slices, cooked flank (not fatty to my dismay), and beef balls (no tripe or tendon), they have a variety of Saigonese pho, and lo and behold, Pho Rieu - the crab noodle soup with a tomato base.

    I ordered a Pho dac biet and the soup was really salty but delicious. For 8.90 EUR, it's a rather giant bowl. I also had a smoothie but because I don't read vietnamese and the french translation said l'anone - I wasn't sure what I was going to get (as long as it wasn't durian). I have looked it up since and I think it should be apple custard but internet translate it to paw paw. Anyway, it was pretty good.

    I can't say it was one of the best bowl of pho i've ever had, but i am interested in coming back and trying their other varieties of saigonese pho.

    Note 1: A lot of the servers here don't speak a word of French or English.
    Note 2: They take ticket restaurant/cheque dejeuner
