    Such a gem, now my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Europe. Really good quality ingredients, original dishes, an owner (since nearly 40 years) who cares and beautiful staff in every sense of the word.

    9.5/10

    Having gone to many of the best restaurants in the world this is among my favorite Asian restaurants so far . Frog legs were excellent and a beef basil dish that looked at first glance like 80% of what most Asian takeaways restaurants serve. But to my surprise it tasted like a fine dining version of that dish. It was delicious and really surprising. Atmosphere and service was good. The execution and details were well above the price point. As for quality per €. This restaurant is among the most cost effective in Paris

    The restaurant was so well decorated and popular with French diners that I was skeptical of the quality of the food. However, all the dishes we ordered were great. The owner overheard us speaking in vietnamese and came over to personally greet us and recommend dishes to us and reassured us that his chefs are all from Cần Thơ and the dishes stay true to the southern vietnamese taste. Personal favorite was the chao tom (grilled shrimp sausage) appetizer.

    Le Sourire de SaigonOwner

    Dear Diana, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to our restaurant and that the quality of our food exceeded your expectations. It's wonderful that you had a chance to interact with the owner, and we're glad he could personally recommend dishes that resonate with the authentic flavors of southern Vietnam. The chao tom (grilled shrimp sausage) is indeed a favorite among many of our guests, and we're thrilled to know that it was a standout for you as well. Your kind words and support mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back soon for another delightful culinary journey!

    Not sure why, but I ordered a margarita. That was a mistake. Food was good but not as good as the last time. Monk fish was the highlight. Sticky rice was overcooked.

We apologize if the sticky rice did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We usually receive positive feedback about it, and we're sorry if it fell short of your expectations.

We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide you with a more satisfying dining experience. Thank you for your support. Kindest

    Amazing authentic Vietnam foods. Love all the recommendations by the staffs. Each dish is so rich in taste and texture. The aroma of caramel sauce cooking the fish make you want to eat the whole bowl of white rice with its sauce. Perfect combination of dishes, that bring out the aroma, the taste and textures of the food. Highly recommended, and this place should receive Michelin star. In my opinion this place taste better than most Michelin restaurants

    The true GEM IN Paris. Small and lively, authentic, excellent service. I cannot say enough good things about the food . We ended up badly overeaten because every single meal was so delicious that we were curious to try more of them just for the purpose of it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    Le Sourire de SaigonOwner

    Dear Patricia, It sounds like you had a truly wonderful dining experience in our restaurant! Your enthusiasm for the food is contagious and it's great to hear that the service was excellent as well. Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with others.

    I have been going to this restaurant many years ago and I hoped that the standard of delicious food and attentive service would remain the same. I wasn’t disappointed! The interior is cozy , the staff is friendly , smiley and attentive. The owner overlooks everything and makes sure you are satisfied and well advised. The food was so delicious that we returned here not even one week later! A true underrated gem in Paris . Cannot wait to be back.

    Le Sourire de SaigonOwner

    Hi Patricia, Great to hear that you had a wonderful experience at the restaurant even after many years!

    I've never written a negative review for any restaurants even when the food wasn't good. But I feel like I have to this time. Our party ordered the fried spring rolls, Vietnamese crepe and banh cuon. There was a smell to the meat for all the dishes, and it appears that the meat was spoiled. The food was terrible that we left without even eaiting our entrée, which we paid for since we had already ordered it.

    My second time here. The frogs legs are to die for. Best item on the menu. The Canard Laqué also just delicious. Service ironically on a very busy Saturday night was much better than on a not so busy Weds night. But over all the food is just great. The BBQ porc is excellent and the carmelized lotte delicious.

    the food was plain and excellent but the price was too high compared to what one can get elsewhere. a normal dish costs 18 euros which is far too much in relation to the quality.

    The food was good. Waitresses were very nice but were also a bit pushy so you would order extra stuff. And it was quite expensive. But all in all it was good.

    Had a dinner reservation with my travelling bosses who specifically wanted to taste some authentic vietnamien cuisine in Paris. After a long journey when we got into the restaurant it was great ambience and welcome by the staff. Good english speaking staff with welcoming smile truly justifies the name of the restaurant.. food was amazing.. good wine choices.. we had a refreshing and energizing food..
