Hanoi Gourmet — Restaurant in Paris

Super terrible bad experience.

I went into this restaurant because other pho restaurants were closed at around 3 pm and I'm a fan of pho. It's a total miserable experience that I have ever had. No joke, it ruins my favor for pho.

I started to regret at the second minutes but I should leave at that time because every following time was more and more intolerable.

We ordered hanoi pho and fried noodles with children. The owner seemed to be nice and warm at first but it's turned out she didn't prepare for anything.

At first, she showed us the rice noodles and the chickens for the dishes, which made u think you will have all of them. However, when u observed the whole process, u'll find u finally get ridiculous small portion. The show was just a show.

The most miserable thing was the waiting time. We're the only customers and just ordered two dishes, it took us nearly 50 minutes to get them. I reminded her at very start that we need to go quickly. Every time u asked how long does it take, u got the answer 5 minutes.

She started with polishing her stoves, heating water and other unrelated stuffs. You might think the dishes are freshly cooked so it takes time. Then you fool.

I was standing there and clearly saw what happened. For pho, She boiled hot water and put the rice noodles in, add seasoning bag, which u can easily get from Asian markets. Finally put several coriander. For fried noodles with children, the noodles was heated in microwave and stired in the pan. The children was heated too and several slices were chosen to put on the top of noodles. That's all. It took me 50 minutes to wait.

I was very angry. I can make 30 dishes at the same time!!! As for the taste, I don't want to comment. U can cook the fast noodles by yourself.

The closing show was about the bill. When I was waiting, I started to read the Google reviews about this restaurant and saw several comments that she charged more. The same drama was played for us, she said the fried noodles was 14 Euros instead of 13 on the menu, because her son didn't correct the price. We're exhausted and don't have time to argue.

I can't believe such a terrible bad restaurant can exist in Paris and I can't believe people like me still entered into it even with so many real comments online.

Hope other people won't be...

Very disappointed and very terrible food, not recommend at all. The price very expensive un reasonable, food was cold and everything just put in the oven to warm up, I ordered noodle calk Pho in the noodle have just crab beef an a few coriander that take more than half hour my husband ordered fry rice with Chicken but we don't know what wrong with the Chicken, she try to push him to ordered beef even though he doesn't likes beef for politely he's ok whit that but bad things is that's crab beef on top the cold rice and a few onion and bad things is its tate less. We are ordered one beer and coconut that's we are paid €59 that's more expensive than 4 star restaurant, I done my noodle before my husband's Friedrice about 20 minutes. We don't care about price if it reasonable with the food. Food are crab and the lady who cook she us the owner not a chef, I'm not surprised why no have any customer. We are just...

Expérience ubuesque à mille lieux d'un restaurant !

Avec 5 autres collègues nous arrivons vers 12h15, nous sommes les seuls clients. Pour commencer nous devons nous même installer les tables et chaises en terrasse afin de nous asseoir. Tables et chaises plus dignent d'un camping que d'un restaurant au passage. La gérante (?) nous apporte la "carte" qu'elle avoir décrochée du mur n'ayant apparemment pas de carte "papier" comme habituellement dans un restaurant. Ok soit ...

Nous commandons tout les 6 le même plat : Riz sauté au poulet à la Hanoienne (14,50€ d'après la carte) qui est apparemment la spécialité de la gérante qui nous l'a rappelé au moins à deux reprise. Nous prenons également des nems au poulet.

La gérante n'est pas du tout à l'aise avec le français et l'ensemble des échanges est un peu compliqué mais dans la bonne humeur puisque celle-ci est très aimable.

Il doit donc être 12h30 quand la commande est prise. Les nems arrivent relativement rapidement en étant TRÈS chaud, servi avec des feuilles de salade négligemment déposées dans une assiette séparée dans laquelle la gérante viendra y ajouter encore plus négligemment 6 feuilles de menthe car nous sommes 6. Les nems sont bon mais on en profite peu tellement ils sont brûlants !

C'est 1h après, vers 13h20 qu'arrivent les 2 premieres PETITES assiettes (le plat arrive servi dans une assiette à dessert !) et il fait peine à voir ! Du riz, de l'oeuf en miettes mélangé et quelques minuscules morceaux de poulet par dessus et un tour de moulin à poivre pour l'assaisonnement. Ça ne ressemble à rien et c'est tout petit. 2 autres plats arrivent 10 min plus tard mais eux dans des bols. Et encore 10min plus tard les 2 derniers plats arrivent enfin. Il est 13h40 !!!

Entre temps nous avons nous-même débarrassé l'assiette des nems etc...

Pressés par le temps les 2 derniers servis ont mangé ce pauvre plat ridicule rapidement avant d'aller régler l'addition à contrecœur...

Et à nouveau quelle surprise ! Le plat inscrit à 14,50€ est en fait à 15€ !! Oui il faut bien payer le service sur place ... (service nul et quasi inexistant !). La boisson en canette de 25cl est à 3€ !!!.

Au final 20€ pour 1 boisson, 1 nem brûlant et un plat médiocre en taille enfant ! L'arnaque est totale !

Nous n'avions jamais vécu une telle expérience et il est assuré que nous n'y retournerons jamais. Les 3 restaurants qui jouxtent celui-ci sont BIEN meilleurs et...
