Phở Bánh Cuốn 14

This has been the Vietnamese spot I keep coming back to in Paris since I moved here seven years ago. While new places have popped up all over the city, when I’m craving a warm, comforting bowl of pho or a good old simple bo bun, I always head to Tolbiac. It might not compare to the sleek, modern Vietnamese restaurants sprouting up, but it has that authentic Asian street-food vibe that brings a wave of nostalgia. The service is always friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food is delicious, authentic, and served in generous portions! If you’re like me and just want a satisfying, no-fuss pho or bo bun, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Super authentic Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of the 13th arrondissement. Lovely and quick service, generous and delicious portions and very reasonable prices. I can’t recommend it enough!

The Pho Beouf Special came packed with loads of beef, but the taste was a tad bland - had to rely on the hoisin sauce they provided to give it some kick. The beef balls were quite tasty though. Truth be told, we weren't all that hungry when we went in, but we ended up polishing off everything, which just goes to show how good it really was. This pho joint is a real crowd-pleaser - inside, every single table was taken, and there's hardly any space between tables. If you manage to snag a seat, you're in luck, but you better get there early 'cause it fills up fast, and there's always folks waiting for a spot.

The oil used to fry the spring rolls must have been used for a long time, and there was an unpleasant smell of oil. The raw beef rice noodles were too hard, and they were probably not fresh rice noodles. The beef is too dry, it lack of fat. It is horrible to chew it. The only thing that was acceptable was the soup base, the taste is good.

On a cold and rainy day, I wanted a bowl of pho. The restaurant's high review count convinced me to give it a try. The food was average and didn't stand out. I'm not sure if a repeat visit is warranted.

On the quest to visit as many VN restaurants as we can while we're in Paris for vacation in January this year 2024 after trying all the escargots, ducks, baguettes, croissants, we came to this restaurant as the last one on the list. It's in district 13 where all the VN restaurants are. It was raining and cold, there's seating outside with plastic sheet covers, but we went inside to sit. It's quite crowded, the seatings are so close together that the waiters had to pull the tables out for the customers to slide inside, the same with when they want to leave. This is a Vietnamese restaurant but none of the people in here can speak VN, so we just ordered with the number on the menu. The food is quite good, even the egg rolls are crispy and tasty with rice papers, not sure who's the cook but they did them well. My family didn't really like the seating arrangement, a little cramped for us but we're hungry and wanted to try some new VN restaurants. The pho was good with meatballs and rare beef. I like the tendons, brisket, but there seem to have none. The broth was excellent, the meats are more chewy than other places, but good. The price is excellent, quite inexpensive, no wonder they're so crowded even in the rainy day like today. The service was fast, and it's just like a fast food restaurants, you come, you eat and you run because the seating arrangement is quite tight, you're practically sitting next to someone you don't know to have your bowl of soup. We will not go back here although the food is good but lack of meat options, the seating is too cramped for us.

Pho-nomenal experience at this restaurant! The aromatic broth was rich and flavorful, embracing tender beef and fresh herbs. The service was swift, and the ambiance exuded warmth. Loved the variety of condiments to personalize the dish. A definite go-to for pho lovers! 🍲🌿🍜

Went there two nights in a row because of how good it was. Everything else was averagely good but the pho is what made me come back twice, me whos on a diet and try not to eat that much had two whole bowls of beef pho for both two days i went. The broth was soo good, staff was really nice but some people might not be used to their attitude ( asian attitude) but as a fellow asian i honestly didn’t care. Dont recommend going whens its busy or crowded because it not that big of a place but once again the pho was just 🙏🏻 will definitely come back when im back in paris

Had the special Pho, it was tasty and good portion. Eaten there twice when in downtown Paris. I would recommend going if you want Pho or other Viet-Namese cuisine.

Had the pho with beef, pork with rice, and duck with rice. Flavors were really good. The one downside was the hoisin sauce which has a weird after taste. Service was quick and not too crowded.

Came by for coffee the other day and it was lackluster. Walked up and ordered at the counter and the iced Vietnamese coffee was 4,10 Euro. The indoor dining room has air conditioning and the exterior dining area is covered. The iced Vietnamese coffee wasn't too cold and on the weaker side...bummer. There is a 10 Euro minimum for carte bancaire. They also claim to not accept foreign credit cards.

I'm a pho connoisseur as I eat pho 2-3x a week from the most authentic Pho restaurants in Toronto, Canada where there's a huge Viet population. I can tell you that this place is one of the better ones. Don't come here for the ambience but come for truly good food. Service is friendly and accommodating compared to another one in Paris I've been to (won't name names but will post a review on theirs). Highly recommended! Price is very reasonable too!

Like the other pho 14 locations, consistently delicious pho - tender meats, robust soups, and well cooked noodles. The pho veggies are fresh. The apps are delicious too so definitely try one. This location is larger than the Opera one and service is friendly too. Highly recommend!

Wanted to try how pho was like in Paris and this was one of the most reviewed locations in Paris per Google. Some differences I notice vs. from my experience in the States (particularly in Southern California)-- -They use red chili peppers (instead of jalapeños, which make their broth spicier if you add it in) -they use wider rice noodles -they use lemons vs limes - Sriracha isn't readily available unless you ask for it (maybe it is due to table space or it is just not commonly used?) Found the broth to be sweeter as well. For 10 euros, price wasn't bad for a different experience. You can also add additional meat or noodles for an additional fee. It is cash only. Along with fast service, they are super efficient with utilizing space. You literally have to move tables to squeeze in, but hey the more the merrier! You can also dine outside as well. Our server was able to speak to us in English, which I found to be super impressive just because he also spoke at minimum - Vietnamese and French.

Even at 2:30pm, there was a line for this place. Jump into the cue and scowl at the happy diners and hope that they'll eat fast. Lol Really, not to worry, this place is quick. The line moves fast, orders are taken right away, and food hits the table promptly. You'll be eating a delicious meal in no time. Most of the patrons were eating one of the many pho soups that were available. As for me, it was all about the banh cuon AKA in Paris as "Vietnamese Ravioli." Thin rice noodle sheets are wrapped around a filling of ground pork and wood ear fungus (like a mushroom) topped with green onions and fried shallots. Pour over the bowl of orange hued fish sauce and you're good to go. This meal really fulfilled my Asian food cravings after two weeks away from home. In the 13th arrondissement, it might be a tad out of the way but give it a try and then wander Paris' Little Vietnam for a different sort of Parisian experience and enjoy being transported to Southeast Asia for a few minutes.

After a couple of days of just baguette, cheese, and meats, we wanted to get some Asian food. We found this place through Yelp and wanted to see how different pho is in Paris. We came right before dinner time so we were seated immediately. We ordered the large classic beef pho. The owner was very nice and noticed that we weren't locals. He asked us about the pho in NY and how it compared to his place. He also asked us to compare the sizing - large in Paris is definitely much smaller than the large in NY, interesting. The food came within minutes and I loved it. The soup base was rich and flavorful. I hate soggy noodles, and they made it perfectly. They also give a generous amount of meat, I couldn't even finish everything! Just under 10 euros, you can be happy in this cold. We ordered a viet coffee to-go. I'm usually not a huge fan of viet coffee, but this one was good! I wish I ordered other things to try and compare. Next time! Cash only!

Very tasty pho. I asked for it spicy and got my butt whooped. Writing this review while pouring sweat because I didn't want to stop eating because it was so tasty!

In A Nutshell: -Pho Banh Cuon 14 located in District 13 (Choisy, Paris, France) to me was an average pho restaurant. -I was really looking forward to venturing into this part of town, since there seemed to be a consolidation of Vietnamese restaurants. -You can sit inside or outside, but being in Paris, I recommend you sit outside. -The pho was okay. -The broth was good, but I wish they had more pho combo options in addition to more veggies and meat. -The banh cuon (which are Vietnamese rice rolls) were not very good. -If you look at my photo of the banh cuon, you can see why. Overall, I am biased when it comes to Vietnamese food. Not only am I married to a wonderful wife who can cook great Vietnamese food, but I also live in California where heavy competition brings out the best Vietnamese food you can find on the globe!

Saturday afternoon, the staff was welcoming. Beef vermicelli and chicken pho was just ok.

Because on every vacation my husband has to look for pho. We found this on yelp and decided to go search for it. We sat outside and the tables are Literally right next to each other. Like elbow to elbow. Lucky we didn't have anyone anyone next to us. We both got the Dac Biet, raw thin beef, meat ball, tripe and some flank. They bring you the veggie tray and the plate of hoisin and lemon. The Hoisin is way different from the US. It's not as deep and rich flavor. I also ordered their cafe su da, which i expected to come strong as well. It was much more mild. Just try their pho.

This place is super popular and very crowded during meal times and I can understand why. The food is delicious, but because it is so popular, it can be a sort of uncomfortable place to dine. There isn't really much place to sit and you actually have to move the tables around to get to your sit if you're seated against the wall. This is slightly annoying but also sort of endearing. When it comes to the food, it is priced very reasonably and the pho is some of the best I've had. The noodles are thicker than at many other pho places, which I liked. They were cooked perfectly and I liked the slightly chewy consistency. The soup is very hearty and was so nice to have on a cold night. They also provide a very large amount of bean sprouts and herbs for the soup, which I appreciated. We also ordered some che thai for dessert which was really good as well. It wasn't overly sweet and I liked the texture of the jelly and tapioca a lot. This is a fun place for a quick bite but don't expect amazing service or a fine dining experience!

** Warning : cash only !!! Got a classic beef pho and was happy about the amount of beef included. I really like how the onions come on the side in addition to the bean sprouts and fresh lime. This is not the best pho I have had but it is one of the best options in Paris and will definitely satisfy your pho cravings. It is the perfect dish on a rainy Parisian day. Inside, the restaurant is pretty clean and warm, but the seats are not the most comfortable.

I got a dish called Banh Cuon Tay Ho in the States... (but it's just banh cuon here) and it is so good at this restaurant. Here, they make it with clear, mung bean (or could be potato) sheets compared to rice sheets (which is what I'm used to). It's more chewier and flavorful because it sucks up all the fish sauce and it's not dripping all over the place like it does wrapped in rice paper. A serving size consists of 5 "dumplings" laid on a bed of beansprouts, paired with 8 slices of cha (ground pork slices), and freshly sprinkled fried onions and cilantro. It's a simple dish but packed with so much saliva-inducing flavor. Lines are always long as it's a well-known restaurant in the area but try to beat the crowd during off-meal times! Also, you gotta physically line up if there's a wait line but it usually moves pretty quickly.

CASH ONLY Service was quick and we sat outside even though it was pouring rain. I didn't know it was cash only, however the owner was accommodating enough to accept US dollars in exchange. Ordered the combination pho with a side of egg roll. The egg rolls were somewhat crispy with a good filling but the pho missed the spot for me. The broth was just lacking and had a somewhat weird taste. Can't really describe it but it was just off. However, the portions are fair I would say for the price. Overall, quick spot to grab some Vietnamese food if you are getting tired of European food as a tourist. Although, there seems to be alot better options around the area.

This place is actually called Pho 14, so I don't know why it shows up as Pho Banh Cuon 14 on Yelp. We had to take the Metro here for some great pho. The noodles are fresh so a little bit more chewy. 10 euro for a large Dac Biet which is pretty reasonable for Paris as I had to pay 22 for fish and chips by the Eiffel Tower cafe. It comes with three meat balls which is a plus as most stateside Dac Biet doesn't even offer meatballs. A little salty which you will need to lime to sweeten the broth. Great pho.

Five Vietnamese restaurants within a half block of each other, and Pho Banh Cuon is the only one with a queue ("line" in American). At peak times expect to wait a half-hour or so. They pack them in pretty tight here and the food comes out really quickly. The management does not encourage people to stick around and linger. Fantabulous pho, which I would expect in a restaurant in Paris. In case you've forgotten, the French used to run Viet Nam. Very brief menu with perhaps a dozen or so items, mostly around big bowls of steaming pho and some spring rolls. Large or small. There's enough in a large one to share, which is a deal for 7€. I don't really recommend it, as the noodles are quite long and tend to fall back into the soup. I had the beef pho, which had several thin strips of grilled beef with a couple of meatballs. Loads of noodles and vegetables in there, I was tempted to toss in a few of the garnish red peppers until I was warned that they are extremely hot. I also enjoyed my first Vietnamese beer, conveniently named 'Saigon'. Good stuff. Great meal, good service, a short wait. I would absolutely return!

Quaint pho shop with a limited menu but done very well. Their pho was comforting and tasted of home. Do not miss their warm mung bean and tapioca pearl dessert. We actually went back twice.

There are better pho out there but this hit the spot as it was New Year's day and it was open. I think the noodles were a bit off for me but the chilies they gave were awesome. Lunch * Pho Special (Good) * Spring Shrimp Rolls (Good)

Most reviewed Vietnamese restaurant on google, pictures looked great. However, upon arrival, staff rude to my group, food not that good despite being full of MSG. Limited options: mainly pho and a few other dishes although many other options shown on google. Strange. Would not recommend.

The pho noddle was delicious . But the service was terrible . The waiter ask：are you finish the food ? I say : not yet we are still working on it The waiter immediately dropping the dish on the table and making a big noise . We are so shock how can him treating customer like that ! (15 mins only ) We are very disappointed at this moment.

This is the only time I've ever had to wait in a long line for pho and it's also the only time that I've ever seen such a diverse clientele for pho! The broth was really good and they served the northern pho, with the thicker noodles. It came with super spicy peppers that made my eyes water. We also got the Vietnamese pork dumplings with pork slices. And they had my favorite drink at pho places, coconut juice! Score! Love this place especially hit my Asian food craving on my euro tour!

My friend told me to try the pho in Paris. She said it was really good. So I went to this place because of the reviews. And I wasn't disappointed but I wasn't amazed like "omg this is the best pho ever". The pho pricing was weird, for I think about .50 euros more you can get a large. A small cost about 7.10 euros. The noodles were those big ones again (why do different countries do this?! It's suppose to be the thin ones not the Chinese chow fun ones) the meat was really tough. I did not like chewing it. The broth was flavorful but salty. Tastes like they accidentally added fish sauce. I mean it wasn't bad but it's definitely not the best if tried. It's good for Paris. California is were there's really good pho, bigger viet community too! Anyway I also got the green rice jelly dessert drink, good as I remembered. And the eggrolls here is really good! They use white rice paper and it's quite small but very good! Not too shabby for pho in Paris.

I go here every time I'm in Paris. Their broth is rich. I've always gotten #1 except for once. The bean sprouts are always of quality. The fried rolls always come out fresh and tongue-burning hot. I always add hot sauce, peppers, bean sprouts and lime juice. My pho needs to be a nice shade of orange/red before consumption. Snag a spot before a queue forms! I tried Bamboo or something else like that, but this has been my staple pho place. One negative is that the place is quite small, so it gets cramped very quickly inside. Also, for some reason they offer more meat than noodles in their pho. Hey, I'm a carnivore. I ain't complaining.

This place always has a line so come early. The seating is very small so it can pack more people. Everything here is good to eat but for me the chicken pho! Chicken pho is very good here like crack, I always have to have it when I come here.

So far, this has been one of our favorite meals in Paris. We had skipped lunch and arrived here starving late afternoon on Wednesday. Since it was a random time, the place wasn't very busy and we opted for a table outside. We ordered #2, #6, & #8. The beef pho with flank and brisket was one of the best we've had (second only to a place in Houston); the broth was flavorful and neither too watery nor too heavy and wasn't overly sweet, which we can't stand; meat was fine; great accoutrements; wider noodles than the vermicelli-like ones you get in the States that we enjoyed better. The chicken eggs rolls were remarkably crisp and well-seasoned, albeit a bit too oily. The noodle/pork/veggie bowl (forgot the name) was also tasty and had a nice zippiness to it. Cold beer+perfect weather+behaving toddler=vacation happiness. Portions are generous, prices are decent, and even the grumpy service didn't bother us. To boot, the location was close to Place D'Italie, where one of us lived when she studied abroad, so we got to walk around there as well. Highly recommend Pho Banh Cuon 14 if you're looking to get a Vietnamese fix. FYI: Cash only! Good for them. Why should they be paying more taxes when you take colonization into account?

Standard Pho here. Their broth is more 5-fived/sweeter infused than what I am accustomed to. The steak pieces were pretty lean not fatty. Noodles were standard. A little more wider than the typical rice noodles served in So Cal. Probably prefer the pho I have had in So Cal. With that being said, the only true good pho I have had was in Vietnam and sadly nothing including this place has come close to the great pho I had over there. I wouldn't highly recommend this place for pho lovers though. Will not be a returning customer here. Much better food options when I'm in Paris, only came here because the father wanted to try it out.

I haven't been to this place in years. The pho shop has limited menu items. The broth is out of this world. The noodles were cooked perfectly . I ordered a large bowl of pho and was pretty satisfied. I will definitely visit them again when I am back in town.

Pretty decent pho in Paris! I needed my Asian fix so I found this place next door to the original place I was so suppose to eat at. This place was packed and had a small line. I read people are complaining about the flat noodles. In Vietnam, they use flat noodles in most of the phos that I ate out there! Anyways, the pho was hot and good. The broth was beefy and not too salty. They have outdoor seating which was nice with the rain! The service is pretty attentive with how busy they were.

Delicious vietnamese food when you really craving it! Fast, but that's just normal because I ordered the popular pho. And for dessert my favorite Chè!

Oh Mon Dieu! Soooooooo good! Officially had my first bowl of Pho (ever!) here, and thanks to everyone on Yelp that we were able to find this!! Went here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, can't remember what time.... but there was definitely a line. However the line moved real fast. We knew that this must be the sh&t, since no other restaurant had a line waiting. We would patiently wait... My friend that I was traveling with is Vietnamese, so she's clearly had a couple bowls of Pho before. And she advised me that good Pho is all about the broth. We ordered some spring rolls (I think they were pork?) that were very lightly deep fried - - they were so good! They came with lettuce leafs to wrap them with, some mint leaves, and a really nice sauce. Plus then we both had Pho. My friend ordered everything actually for us (in Vietnamese). I trust her -- it was so good! She said that it was probably the best she's had. We also had the iced coffees. I'm more of a hot coffee fan, but these were delicious! Make sure that you stir it enough, so that it becomes a lighter color. (That's what my friend had a advised me.) Oh, and BTW this is a tiny, tiny restaurant. They totally pack the customers in. So just be prepared for that. Sooooo good... seriously, sooo good!!

Came here because of all the great reviews and had high expectations, sadly they were not met ... not even close. We walked up to the entrance and was seated outside. I ordered bún and though the noodles are supposed to be cold and dry, they were warm and soupy. My dish was absolutely disgusting to where even my boyfriend, who literally will eat anything, could not stomach it. However my boyfriend and his sister got Pho and they did like their dishes. In the end this is not a place I will be returning to during my travels to Paris.

Great food! I ordered no.7 on the menu and the amount of food was just right for girls and the taste was exactly what u could expect from Vietnam food!!!! It cost 7.8 euro so not expensive at all for such quality

Satisfied my pho craving in Europe! You can really taste the spices and bones used in the broth. They also give a generous portion of meat, I ordered the large and finished all the noodles but had some meat left over! Prices for the bowls are under 10€, they have a small and large option for each one. There was a bit of a line when we left, but I think the turnover is pretty quick.

You're damn right I had pho in Paris. My #3 small (rare beef) came as rich, hearty, steamy pho with thick noodles (I WILL EAT ANY THICK NOODLE -- you stop that right now...), tender beef - and an entire tray of bean sprouts, limes and cinnamon basil. A tray. So happy. I heard the most English being spoken in this restaurant, too - lots of comfort food cravers. Service is unsmiling but there, but the guy who runs the cash register is the coolest. Humble, quick to help, efficient with the check.

We went to this place after a long day visiting museums and were craving for good Vietnamese food. My friends have been here several times and have recommended this place. It is always busy and has a long line of customers waiting. We went there around 3 pm and were lucky to get seated right away. We got pho special, banh coun (clear rice sheet rolls), bean drinks, and Sam Bo Loung drink (sweet herbal nuts drink). They are all pretty good and stay truth to the original dishes in Vietnam (trust me! I grown up eating pho at least once a week!) Overall, we were quite pleased with our meal. Everything is reasonable price. A bowl of pho is about €8 ($11 US), maybe more than you would get in Los Angeles or Orange County's little Saigon... But for Paris, it is not too shabby!

I was really excited about this restaurant, seeing as most Vietnamese restaurants in Paris are some mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, etc. When we arrived, there was already a line of 15 people waiting for a table. Luckily we were a party of two and waited only a few minutes before we were seated next to a larger party. This review is a little biased. Since I'm Vietnamese and grew up in an area heavily saturated with Vietnamese immigrants, I've been spoiled with the authenticity of all the Vietnamese food around me. Having since moved to Paris, its just sometimes easier to pop into Tang Freres and make a dish myself instead of being disappointed in a Viet/Thai restaurant. I would have given the restaurant 4 stars, perhaps if I had tried the pho, or maybe even the banh cuon. However, I did the equivalent of going to a steakhouse and ordering a pork chop. We ordered the Bo Bun Cha Gio, which is beef with vermicelli and egg rolls. For some reason, I wasn't really craving a hot soup, probably my mistake. When the dishes came out, the bun/noodles were hot. First off, I don't know about you, but usually when I order bun, its not steaming, having been just boiled. Usually you make a lot of bun and set it aside to cool. This threw the dish off for me since the hot noodles continued to expand soaking up the fish sauce I poured over them. The noodles were also overcooked and would fall apart as we tried to scoop them up with chopsticks. Another thing to note is that the waiter who took our order was French, not Vietnamese. True, his wife is probably Vietnamese and the owner. However, it made it impossible to order in Vietnamese and ask for things that I don't know how to say in French. For example, I wanted to order a Cafe Sua Da, which is a Vietnamese iced coffee. Instead I ordered coffee asking for the one with sweetened condensed milk. We ended up getting hot espressos. I'll have to come back to this place and check out the pho. It seems that most of the other customers were eating pho, and this is perhaps the reason why an uncommon menu item was a bit lack-luster.

I was super excited when I saw this restaurant actors from my hotel. I went for a late lunch. Ordered Pho tai and it was just okay. The broth was super cloudy and dark. Not a good sign for Pho broth. The meat was way too thick. Super disappointed since it was so convenient for me but I won't be back

Came on a Tuesday night and the service was super fast -- it was very impressive! Ordered the classic pho and it came out within 5 minutes, and was of amazing quality. The flavors in the soup were very good, and I'm Vietnamese so I know what good pho tastes like. Would've liked to try some of the appetizers, but the pho was so filling that I just couldn't eat more.

Not worth the space on my stomach. My wife and I both ordered the Pho (#1). Beef was tough with the exception of the beef balls. The accouterments are on point, thinly sliced onions and true to Vietnam greens with the ubiquitous bean sprouts accompanied by red chili peppers & oyster sauce. The soup base was beefy and dark, the way I love it. Noodles were too thick, too heavy, not what I am used to, could not finish the bowl. Price -(2) #1, one large one small, an order of Cha Goi (fried rolls) and a small Pelligrino $39 Euro - Too damn much, NYC is much cheaper and better (Philly too). Decor - Great, no complaints, very clean. Shockingly the whole Paris Chinatown is clean... Would repeat? Nope, there are so many other restaurants, I'll try the other Pho #s.

What a well oiled machine. The restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating, and a lot of it. Which is a change from most restaurants in the city. Their menu is adorable, with a somewhat 3D layout of their food and drink options. We ordered almost everything on the menu and were most pleased with the pork pancakes and, of course, the Pho. But fair warning, the broth is sweet. And if you're picky about your broth, you may be turned off to this. 3 stars because you're somewhat wasting your time here when you should be at Bonjour Vietnam having something a little more authentic.

I eat a lot of pho back in LA and the San Gabriel Valley. There's a huge Vietnamese and Lao population out here. This spot was definitely delicious. Lots of flavor. The most noticeable being the star anise. The broth was sweet but not too sweet. I always add a lot of lemon and bean sprouts to my pho with a few chunks of chilies and basil. The large pho dac biet was enough for 2! But I ate mine and the rest of girlfriends without any problems. Try it out! Let me know what you think.

Don't eat here. Pho was loaded with tons of msg. Bean sprouts and veggies were brown. The restaurant is really dirty and there were flies everywhere. Go next door instead!

This was a delicious treat for So CA Pho lovers! Enjoyed the Pho, egg rolls & Bánh Cuon!

If you have a craving for pho on a rainy day, this place is it. Upon walking in, you are bathe in the familiar scent of the pho aromas and once seated and ordered, we got our food pretty quickly. It was just what we needed and totally satisfied that craving. The place is pretty small though with tables right next to each other where you literally have to pull the table out to seat yourself and push the table back. Anyway, it's a no-fuss place and once we ate, we paid our bill and quickly left. I will definitely come back here again if I need to satisfy another craving.

Read the yelp reviews and thought I'd go check it out while in Paris but came there to find the place closed and perhaps under reconstruction for now? So next door to Pho Song Huong we go !

They speak English. The pho broth was not the best, but it served its purpose on a cold Christmas Day when most other places were closed. And most importantly: Their Sriracha is not real Sriracha!!!!!! Either it was extremely watered down, or it was fake. Regardless, completely unacceptable when it comes to pho condiments.
