Very good and authentic Vietnamese experience. Went there with a few colleagues who were already raving about the place. Photos include the sampler starter, and various main dishes. They served us with a smile. The place is usually packed, which says a lot about the quality. Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous! Were very accommodating despite my inability to speak French (they do speak English, if that is of relevance to you.) I got the sample appetizers (photo taken halfway through eating) and Gourmand as I was indecisive. They were both delicious! Once I finished I just went up to the counter and paid by card. I got there right around evening opening on a weekday and was the first one there. They were around 2/3 full by 8pm. Even though it's a bit far, a great option if you want to see the Eiffel Tower at night since the 6 metro train runs 4 mins from the restaurant to the Trocadéro Gardens (the 6 also offers some nice views of the city at night as well).

Great value for money and tasty food. I had a lunch menu for 17 eur, with chicken nems, pork and rice, and fruit salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. The Mr who served me was quick and sweet.
