Saigon Lointain - Paris

Sometimes you just need a break from heavy French food, as good as it is. Vietnamese is perfect for this, and we found a great, reasonably priced place in the otherwise expensive 5th arr. (Also, it is in an area where there aren’t many reviewed restaurants, for some reason. This seems to be a husband-wife operation; she was cooking in the back. I ordered the pho. It was good solid broth, maybe not as many herbs and greens as you would get in the U.S., and not at all spicy, but still very good. It satisfied my pho craving and came in a huge bowl I couldn’t finish. My husband got the house special tamarind soup with fish. Wow, I’ve never had anything like it before but was it was delicious. The fish was fried so it didn’t fall apart in the soup. My husband liked the fish the best. The Vietnamese spring rolls were super fresh; they must have been made just then. We also had dumplings. All of the portions were large and we got all of this for about 38 euro, less than the cost of just one entree at most of the restaurants in the area. I’ve uploaded the entire menu so you can browse. I’d definitely come here again.

I've ordered it though Foodora. I've been delivered after 2h15 without any excuse of the delivery man. The food was terrible. Now I'm sick...

Cenamos en pareja, la primera vez que probamos comida vietnamita y hemos quedado encantados con este restaurante, comida muy sabrosa y en cantidad, precio muy económico.

Nous y sommes allée à 2 copines à 21h, le restaurant était vide alors qu à coté c etait plein, il ne merite pas ça à mon avis, nous avons mangé le bobun vegetarien (je ne suis pas vegetarienne) vraiment tres bon, et pas cher=1 biere chinoise 33cl, le bo bun, 1 café=18€, comme quoi tout n est pas cher à Paris

Très bonne affaire avec la réduction la fourchette. Un cadre sympa, surtout en terrasse. Une carte variée et des plats corrects.
