Hanoï Restaurant — Restaurant in Paris

The pho is the worst I’ve ever eaten. The broth did not have the fragrance of pho; it was a plain beef broth. The meat was cut into rather large chunks and chewy.

Overall the place gets a 2/5. Won’t...

As a proud Vietnamese, I feel a sense of embarrassment when customers come in with the wrong expectations of what real Vietnamese food should taste like. If you’re seeking an authentic Vietnamese dining experience, this is definitely the...
