Nuit de Saïgon — Restaurant in Nice

I stopped by because it was close to my hotel, and Vietnamese food is usually a safe and enjoyable choice. I ordered summer rolls and pho, and made a point—multiple times and even with a photo—to clarify that I wanted fresh summer rolls, not fried spring rolls, as fried food doesn’t sit well with me.
