Asian Soupe sur Paris

21/08/2024: This restaurant is the best Vietnamese restaurant I found in Ile-de-France so far. What’s really special about this place is that they use fresh ingredients and everything is freshly homemade. The food here is truly excellent even by Californian standards. I went back to this restaurant many times, and among all the dishes I’ve tried, my favorite ones are: Appetizer-steamed Vietnamese rice ravioli (this is a standard dish that you can find at many Vietnamese restaurants but this restaurant does it the best!); mango salad with squid (this dish is so incredibly fresh and refreshing, with peanuts and fresh mint sprinkled on top) Plat-monk fish with passion fruit-peanut sauce (I have never had any dish that mixes passion fruit with peanut sauce, and the combination is simply magical!); margaret du Canard; coconut curry with aubergine, shrimp and rice noodles (this one goes very well with rice but you can also eat it by itself); I also especially love their Bo Bun beef, which in my opinion is the best Bo Bun in Ile de France because their beef tastes very fresh and only lightly marinated (unlike at most other Vietnamese restaurants where the beef is heavily marinated and doesn’t taste fresh at all), and not salty at all. Dessert—everyone loves their “Coco au lait avec Tapioca, mangoes et bananas”; I also love their passion fruit mousse (it’s amazing!); their banana cake is also the best banana cake I’ve ever had at any Asian restaurant (including the Vietnamese/Thai restaurants in the U.S.) They have both indoor and outdoor seating; very nice clean bathroom; they have English menus upon request. At lunch time they have a “lunch formula” of very good value; depending on what you get this can range in price from 14 euros to 22 euros (3 course meal). During lunch time they can be super crowded and you might have to wait for a table. Lots of locals come eat here or order takeout. All in all, this is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Ile de France. If you’re used to good Asian food in the U.S., you’ll love this place.
