Mai Lam Saigon sur Paris

23/04/2026: Average Vietnamese food, pretty much like most Vietnamese restaurants in the 15th arrondissement, with a few exceptions. The pho isn't great, unfortunately. There's not much meat, it's of rather poor quality, and the portion is small. The broth isn't anything special either. The prices are low, which is what saves the place. At the same time, you can't help but think it's because of the restaurant's dilapidated state, which is on the verge of collapse, and the fact that the chef only accepts cash (in 2026?).

23/04/2026: A restaurant that's a bit of a hidden gem, with a rather unique entrance: once inside, you're transported to another world, filled with books and knick-knacks. A limited yet varied menu with very reasonable prices for exquisitely flavorful cuisine. Friendly and efficient service.
