Paris Hanoï

Un joli décor. Ce restaurant a été créé il y a plus de 20 ans.
Nous avons beaucoup nos plats principaux. En revanche, j ai commis une erreur en choisissant le fondant au chocolat qui n avait rien d extraordinaire et dont la crème pâtissière avait une saveur industrielle.
A very nice décor.
The restaurant has been operating from more than 20 years. We really enjoyed our main dishes. It was a mistake to order the chocolate cake which had nothing special and whose cream had an industrial taste.

Cha giò (accents are not working on yelp) was good, the wrapper they use is real banh trang (not egg roll wrapper) which is not always used in restaurants and I like it. The wrapper was nice and crispy. It had a clear meat flavor in the rolls.

The pho had stronger notes of star anise and cinnamon but good.

Why don't they use nice, big soup spoons here for pho? For soup, we were given large flat metal spoons. It took me forever to eat.

It was hot inside the restaurant, but the good food made up for it.

Even if you don't speak French getting a table and ordering should not be a problem.

Arrive early for delicious and affordable food. I went upon the recommendation of a friend from Paris and this restaurant did not disappoint. If you don't want to stand in a long queue, I advise arriving early. We came about an hour after opening at exactly dinnertime on a Thursday, and waited about half an hour, which wasn't too bad. It helped that it was just two of us. The food was great and the portion size was generous. I would describe the prices as "Paris-cheap," the prices are cheap, for this city.

Paris Hanoi is usually amazing. I dine here weekly, sometimes I come even twice a week. Ive dined and done take out. Even when they are busy, they are fast but service is really a mixed bag. I've taken a ton of my friends here and they are hooked too!

Let's start with their food: I've tried their ice coffee (just black coffee with tons of sugar, definitely not Vietnamese style with condensed milk so not worth it), pho (awful, REALLY, don't get it), beignet appetizers (basically fried shrimp, not amazing), and their winner: the BO BUN NEM!!

The bo bun NEM is beyond amazing. Like where do I even begin? For 11.5€, you get perfectly cooked noodles, fresh vegetables, thinly cut steak pieces usually cooked to perfection, sauce, and two fried egg rolls. Their egg rolls are amazing. So good that I would be okay with myself ordering more.

But this dish isn't consistent. Sometimes I get meat that's partly pink (awful). Sometimes I get little sauce. Sometimes I get barely any veggies. But usually it's good and it comes piping hot! I've ordered this dish as a take out and it works. You just have to eat it fast or else it gets a little swollen if that makes sense.

The reason they aren't five stars is the service. Sometimes the food comes out cold, I have to wait forever for the menu or to be acknowledged, the server is just plain mean. One time my friend put in an order and tried to change it because she can't eat beef and the guy refused. They could have easily changed it but no. She had to pick out all the beef and it was the saddest thing ever.

You pay at the cash register and sometimes they just throw the check at you. This place is strange but the food is good.

If you come early, there is no wait. They also have sriracha which is RARE in Paris.

Um what? What a random pho spot we found while walking around. The weather was chilly and a bit gloomy, and we were hungry! Pho is definitely a cure all for this mood. The place was packed and rightly so. Tbh I didn't expect much of Vietnamese food in Paris but wow I actually really enjoyed this pho! I was skeptical at first because it seemed like there was an interesting mix of customers and not really any Vietnamese but it was very good. It's quite small and you may be sat next to strangers, but it was a comfortable and buzzy atmosphere. If you come across it then I say check it out.

This is a small Vietnamese restaurant. In the evening it opens at 7 pm. After half an hour it was full and people had to queue outside and await their turn to be seated.
It has a couple of dish categories like soup , noodles or meat. But be aware that all dishes are a full meal.
I took the chicken in lemon balm. It was accompanied by rice and fried vegetables. The dish was very good. The whole meal with beer and dessert cost me around 20€. Not bad.

I NEVER normally review places but this time I feel compelled to warn people of the attrocities they are serving up here in Paris Hanoï....I have been to Vietnam several times and have been eating the best Vietnamese food throughout Asia for many years so I would consider myself a reasonable judge on decent Vietnamese food.

What they served up here is NOT fit for human consumption.....even the plain rice was over cooked and inedible STAY AWAY.......

Short review but not much to say! Good selection of dishes and very large portions but food lacks spice and flavour (I guess it's been adapted to French tastes).

Main meals will set you back around 10 euros on average.

If you're in the area and really hungry, go for it! But don't expect the best Vietnamese of your life.

Very poor meal.
We were delivered with Deliveroo. We took noodles and bobun, both were cooked the day before, for sure.

Expensive for the quality and quantity. Very little nems(no puns intended).

Noodles were mixed from overcooked and normal.

Although the Yelp information indicates its open from 10:30AM until 10PM, Paris Hanoi closes like many Paris restaurants at 2:30 in the afternoon for a 4 hour break. Then they start up again for the evening crowd. I found this out the hard way by making the trek from the 1st to the 11th, arriving at 2:30 only to be turned away.

It all worked out for the best however because by 8PM, five of us had joined the crowd standing outside Paris Hanoi waiting for a table. The wait in line was about 45 minutes and worth every bit of it. I had shrimp stir-fry and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. The meal comes in a large bowl with the rice already added. And importantly - its not over salted!

At the table we had curry, noodles, imperial rolls (crispy rolls aka nems (Fr.)), etc. - nothing was left.

The line stayed in place outside until after 10. We were lucky enough to be seated directly in front of the open kitchen. I really like the open kitchen - nothing to hide and all good.

Service was fine. This is a great Paris value meal.

Its walkable from Bastille but there are also buses that run until late. Taxi back to the 1st is only about 10Euro.

Oh yeah - no credit cards taken - bring cash money...Euros that is.
