Xiu — Restaurant in Paris

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this small, quaint restaurant, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were bold and balanced, and I especially appreciated that they don't over-salt their dishes, allowing the natural ingredients to shine. The lemongrass came through beautifully in multiple dishes, giving each one a fresh, aromatic quality.

One highlight was the special spicy sauce they had on the table—though I’m not sure what it’s called, it was absolutely delicious. A little bit of it went a long way, adding the perfect amount of heat and depth to the meal.

The pho was another standout. It was incredibly clean and light, yet rich in flavor, and it reminded me so much of how my husband's mom makes it—always a good sign! The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience feel even more special.

And don't skip the egg rolls—they were crispy perfection. The balance of textures and flavors was spot on, and they were just the right amount of indulgent. Coming from Houston, a city with no shortage of Vietnamese food, I can confidently say this place really hits home. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and pay...

Came here because of the good reviews and my mom really craved for some noodles. But the portion of the pho is quite small. I’m actually not sure is it because of us or it’s just this way in general. I did compare my bowl to the table next to us and they have a bigger portion. No tap water served to our table as well, when I was asking for tap water upon ordering, the cashier pointed to the fridge and asked me to pick bottled water from the fridge. And I did notice that all other tables were served tap water without asking.

Was it because we were Asian, and being tourists and didn’t speak French so we got treated this way? But we were very friendly and polite and didn’t even question a thing. I really hope the staff was just having a bad day and not wanting to serve us. Not because they took advantage of us because we are a young daughter and a senior mom(it seems that we don’t know anything from the look)

We went to some other Vietnamese restaurants and never experienced it like this. We are just...

I had the chicken Bo bun. It was delicious. It was a very well rounded meal, so many veggies, chicken, and noodles. Very tasty and filling. All of it at a very affordable price. The person who serves is extremely polite, he bowed at everything, while giving the food, the water, the bill. Very welcoming staff. And the interiors are so so pretty, several tiny cat figurines, wall hangings, decorations. Really great ambience. Location of the restaurant is also great, on a pretty...
