Ngoc Xuyen Saigon

With a concentration of Vietnamese restaurants in the 13th arrondissement, a Google search yield this with many positive ratings on Bun Bo Hue. So came specifically for that to compare with many bowls I had all over the world. Certainly didn't disappoint, very authentic. 15.50€ a bowl. Got the right kind of spices that I skipped all condiments on the table. Just put in to herbs and chopped chili, squeeze of lime, you are good to go. Only thing missing (and many skip also) are the pigs blood. This one got the pigs feet/knuckle, beef slices, pork slices etc all tender, flavorful. Appears to be a small family operation where everyone speaks Vietnamese. Older lady manning the food preparation in the stall out front, sipping and tasting the soup, a good sign for me but may not be up to the strictest health standard. Doesn't really matter as broth was scalding hot.

Best pho I’ve had in Paris. Similar to the quality I can get in California. Great service, air conditioned inside, and delicious food. The pho was served very hot. Would absolutely return on my next trip.

A very pleasant experience. The taste of the phó exceeded all my expectations, it was extremely tasty. I highly recommend going there if you want to eat some delicious and authentic Vietnamese food!

We ordered the beef pho (soupe tonkinoise). The beef balls were exceptionally soft and tasted homemade, which I really appreciated and felt set this restaurant apart from others in the area. The broth was flavorful and hot, though not significantly different from that of other nearby pho restaurants such as Pho 14 or Le Kok. The side dishes (bean sprouts and vegg) were somewhat limited, and the pho was €2 more expensive than at comparable places, which feels a bit high. The seating, however, was quite uncomfortable. We were placed on very small benches. Aside from this, the service was great, the staff were friendly, and being able to watch the food prepared in front of us created a very welcoming atmosphere. The noodles, on the other hand, were chewy and delicious. We also ordered the sugarcane juice (canne à sucre) and the iced coffee. I would definitely recommend the sugarcane drink, it was very refreshing and the sugarcane is from Vietnam. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the viet iced coffee. Although it had a pleasant nutty flavor, it was significantly overpriced at €7.50.

An amazing spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Their soups are not only incredibly flavourful but also come in huge portions, making them perfect for a hearty and satisfying meal. If you’re looking for a cozy place to enjoy delicious Vietnamese food, this is a must-visit. Highly recommend.

A Vietnamese restaurant with flavorful foods in District 13. It is a small, and family-run restaurant. Beside the well-known phở with different meat options, there are other less well-known "noodle soups" which are known to a specific region of Vietnam. After a bowl of hearty phở, it is recommended to conclude with a sweet drink as dessert.

Very good Vietnamese food, and lovely service. The soup portions are excellent and it's a good value.

I would give 11/10 if I could. This place totally satisfies my craving for Southern Vietnamese food 🥹 the pho, bun bo hue, che dau trang were all on point that we came back twice! The owners and staff were all kind and friendly. It can be very crowded on weekend so long queue might be expectec

We came here based on recs from other Vietnamese people and definitely satisfied our cravings. The Bun bo Huế was excellent! The broth was really flavorful and not too spicy. My daughter had pho, which was also very good. My mom had rice with chicken and said the chicken was tender with crunchy skin. We also ate the 7 colors and 3 colors desserts, if you can tolerate durian, I would recommend trying the 7, very creamy and delicious. It's crowded but we got table quickly, waiters were friendly and attentive, great service! We had outside seating which was nice, inside definitely smelled better with all the food prep right there. Overall, everything was very good, my husband said it's his best meal in France, even though we've had Michelin meals.

Hidden away on a side street, with odd opening hours (9:30am to 5pm), this tiny restaurant has been around a long time (under same ownership) and is always full with Asian customers. This is a sure sign that the Việt food it serves is good! No complex, sophisticated dishes, just a relatively short menu of simple but well executed street food dishes. The phở is photastic, with the delicious broth originating from bones, not MSG. The bánh cuốn (Việt cheung fun) is not high-quality, as the skin breaks easily.

One of the best bun bo hue dishes I have tried. Tried this early morning at 11am as I read that lunch lines are long. Got there and had a table to myself. They ask if you want the pig feet, and it is superb. The bun bo hue broth is light yet flavorful and complex. The staff is quick. Next time I will be staying in the 13th arrondisement.

By far one of the best Vietnamese restaurant in Paris. They have specialized dishes (bun rieu cua/crab soup) that are only offered on certain days. You know a restaurant is good when the menu is limited so that they can focus on just a few dishes. They definitely know what they're doing and I'm glad that they don't "cater" to European tastes. Their hours are strange though...I basically can never eat here when they have their special dishes of the day because I'm working during those hours. They close really early too I think.
