I've eaten at quite a few Vietnamese pho restaurants lately, hoping to find the taste of around 1990. Most of the broth still tastes the same, but it always feels slightly different.
I remember there being tender, stewed beef tendon, but I haven't had any these past few times. Today, I had a small piece of chewy beef tendon at a nearby pho shop.
A bit disappointing.
Actually, most pho restaurants in Paris are probably run by second or third generations, and the kitchen staff have likely changed several times. Naturally, the taste and ingredients have changed.
Vietnamese cuisine took root and flourished in Paris, probably due to the influence of the Vietnam War. Some cafes and bars are now run by Vietnamese people, and they seem to have a good connection with the local community.
Overall, 2026 and 1990 are more than thirty years apart. Paris's overall appearance has changed, and its internal culture has also seen a transformation.
Also, the European heatwave is truly terrifying. Days around the summer solstice are very long, and the sun is relentless from 9 am to 8 pm.
Next time I come to Europe, I'll definitely book my trip before May or after October.

How can I enjoy myself without being in bed? Every time I go there, I have to put a dozen plates on the table. I can't stop at just one dish; I have to order several because it's so good. The staff is fantastic, the ladies are super friendly, and the managers are lovely, attentive, and kind. Authentic Vietnamese cuisine without the insults in the kitchen. Go without hesitation, believe me.
P.S.: Quick tip: I recommend the banhmi from Panda, the best in the neighborhood, delivered to the restaurant!

I've been eating at Dong Huang's since I was 10 years old, and even today, the quality is consistently excellent. The restaurant has been around for almost 40 years and has never lost what makes it so renowned: authentic, generous, and flavorful Vietnamese cuisine at very reasonable prices.
For me, it's a true Belleville institution. The welcome is always warm, and a special mention goes to Maxime, who is particularly friendly and attentive. A family restaurant that has passed down through generations without losing its soul. I highly recommend it! 🍜🇻🇳❤️

I highly recommend this restaurant; I've been going there since I was a child. It's undoubtedly the best Vietnamese restaurant in all of Paris. (I recommend their satay soup; it's excellent.)
