Ngoc Xuyen Saigon
Vietnamese restaurant — Quartier De La Maison Blanche (Paris)
About
Ngoc Xuyen Saigon is an authentic Vietnamese institution in Paris's 13th arrondissement, hidden behind a discreet pink storefront. This traditional canteen, open only at lunch, embodies the spirit of small Saigon restaurants with its convivial and unpretentious atmosphere. The Tonkinese phở is remarkable: rich and fragrant broth, perfectly cooked rice noodles, fine slices of beef. The Saigon soup with squid and shrimp rivals its excellence. The restaurant offers a weekly menu of specialties: bamboo and chicken soup on Tuesdays, crab soup on Thursdays, fish brine soup on weekends. Delicate bánh cuốn crepes and crispy spring rolls complete a short but masterful selection. With accessible prices and home-cooked cuisine made from fresh market ingredients, it's a reference address for lovers of authentic Vietnamese flavors.
