Ca Phe Hanoi

A great option for Vietnamese cuisine. The food was awesome and delicious. We were at happy hour and ordered the platter available for 2 to 3 persons, which included a variety of items. All the items in the platter were very tasty, but it was not fully enough for 2 persons. So, make sure that if two people are really hungry, this won’t be enough. The cocktails also had a wonderful feeling. The service was very much satisfactory.

This place is a complete scam! The menu is misleading, the wait is excruciating, and the food is absolutely terrible. It was the worst meal I’ve ever had in Paris! We ordered the Pot-Ô-Phó (€18.90) and the Giant Banh‑Mi (€18.90). The menu says rice noodles, thinly sliced beef, pickled carrots/red onion, and spiced broth for the Pot-Ô-Phó, and crispy chicken, Maggi mayo, pickled carrot & cucumber, lettuce, and cilantro for the Banh‑Mi. After a 45-minute wait, we finally got our food. The Phở arrived in a kettle, but the soup was bland. The beef wasn’t thinly sliced at all; it was more like a thick piece of meat with a strong, organ-like flavor. There were no pickled carrots or red onion, which is what the menu said. The Banh‑Mi was even worse. It was mostly just a baguette with lettuce and mayo, filled with mushrooms, not chicken. There were no pickled carrots or cucumbers either. It didn’t even resemble a banh‑mi by any reasonable standard. For the price and the 4.5★ rating, this was a major letdown. The food was seriously disgusting. Take a look at that thick meat in the picture. “Thinly sliced beef?” It was a gross organ-like piece of flesh. The restaurant wasn’t even half full at the time, and they kept saying there were too many orders. What a joke! The food was so bad that it was disgusting. I’ve attached the menu and the dishes from the same visit for reference.

Easily the most disappointing pho I’ve ever had. I’m genuinely baffled by the 10k+ reviews; the taste simply doesn't match the hype. It's a shame to call this dish pho.

The worst pho I've ever had in my existence. The soup was only comforting because it was something hot to have during the cold weather. The beef "slices" were tough enough to be used as bricks. Broth tasted like it was straight up beef stock, no other flavour to it, it's only positive was that it was served warm. Should really look into getting new executive chef and burn the menu. Chilli wasn't even sliced, they just gave 2 chillies. Cocktail was pretty good.
