What to order in a Vietnamese restaurant?
THE pho (beef noodle soup) is the classic gateway dish. Following are the beef noodle soup (dressed cold noodles), the banh mi Vietnamese banh mi, the spring rolls (summer rolls) for freshness, and the bo bun that satisfy without weighing you down. All washed down with an ice-cold 33 Export beer, it gives you that complete canteen feeling.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best phở in Paris?
The 13th arrondissement has the best soups: broths simmered for 12 hours, tender meats, fresh herbs. Ngoc Xuyen Saigon is one of our must-visit spots.

The spring roll (gỏi cuốn) is raw, rolled in a fresh rice paper wrapper. The nem (chả giò) is fried and crispy. Two completely different dishes, often confused in France.
