Indochine sur Paris

This is a very honest and authentic Vietnamese canteen (no more of the Chinese restaurant we used to frequent). They offer soups and stew-like dishes. A delicious and rather surprising beef curry, for which you'll want to skip the classic white rice, is served with water spinach sautéed with garlic, which was quite good, though perhaps a touch undercooked. Tradition is upheld: you can ask to have lunch on the terrace, even if it's very chilly, and we weren't the only ones (a Vietnamese woman with her enormous bowl of soup kept us company under that rare winter sun of February 2026). The beer selection is limited (no Shinga, the only one that really packs a punch in terms of hops). Aside from the somewhat restricted menu, which is very much in the canteen style (no real signature dish), everything is perfect.

February 1, 2026 L’Indochine is no more. The name is now NHA HANG VIÊT NAM. New decor, new team just a few days ago. New menu probably coming soon. Still in the trial phase. Reopening after renovations. The welcome is still warm. I had the Hu Tieu Sai Gon soup. It was delicious. I went back. The welcome is still friendly. This time I tried the My Vit Quay soup with Peking duck. Really very good. Plus, the Peking duck is boneless. It's an excellent place. Another discovery: Bun Cha. I hadn't tried it before. It's good. Another visit in early December 2022. Still just as good, the welcome still pleasant. To warm up, I had the Mi Vit Quay soup (the one with duck). Delicious. Served with a duck breast (boneless). L’Indochine is truly one of my favorite places. February 2023: New dishes, but still just as good. This time it was the Bo Luc Lac (beef loclac). It was hot, the egg yolk was perfectly runny. The stir-fried meat was satisfying on its own, but there was also a small bowl with salt, pepper, and a lemon wedge, julienned pickled carrots, and fresh cilantro. Another excellent lunch served by an efficient and friendly team. New discovery: mi xao tom thit, stir-fried noodles with various meats including shrimp and vegetables. Delicious and healthy. September 2024. I stayed away from Chinatown for a few months. A friend told me that many pho factories had opened there. After a very mixed experience at one of these new eateries, I decided to go back to Indochine. I had never tried their pho. I should have. It was very good. The broth had a hint of black cardamom and a few "eyes" (the small, round pieces of meat that formed when it came to broth). In short, as always, it was very good and the service was friendly. I will definitely go back.

A little gem in the 13th arrondissement. The food is delicious, the staff lovely, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. I highly recommend this superb spot ☺️

I love this restaurant! I've been several times and I've never been disappointed: the portions, the flavors, everything is perfect. The service is excellent, with a very friendly and smiling young man; it's a real pleasure to come. I especially recommend their Pho, the red bean drinks, and the three-color drink, which are delicious. The raw beef salad is also very good: I suggest you order it with Nuoc Mam sauce.

Overall, the service was excellent. As for the food, some dishes were very good, like the gyozas, while others were just okay, such as the spring rolls, which were a bit dry. The chicken stir-fried noodles were generally good but a little greasy and could have used a bit more seasoning. The same goes for the pad thai. I would still recommend the restaurant, but it would be nice if they could adjust the flavors of some of the dishes.

A wonderful experience!! I don't quite understand the recent negative comments… we all ate very well ☺️

I tried their P5 pho for €12.50 and it was a treat for me, who was very apprehensive about pho. The owners were very welcoming to us. I recommend it if you don't know where to eat pho in the 13th arrondissement.

The pho is excellent, I recommend the satay one. The lady is lovely and has a sense of humor as distinguished as the food. I highly recommend it!

I came today with my friends. The lady at the counter was very friendly. The food is authentic and very tasty. I recommend this place a lot ! It was also very affordable for the quality 😊

A gem of a place! The welcome is great, the service is fast and friendly. The dishes are really good and well presented. Perfect for a meal with friends or family. This is the 3rd time I've been back in less than 2 weeks, always with different people who are just as satisfied each time!
