    Service is TERRIBLE. Some of the worst service I've ever experienced at any restaurant. I'm used to French service, which can be leisurely. This place just plain neglected us and we were seated in the middle of the room. We arrived 5 minutes early to our reservation, were seated right away and proceeded to sit for 20 minutes without water or a menu. We asked for a menu and were given one in French and a drink menu. We ordered drinks and requested an English menu and sat for another 15 minutes before requesting again and finally given a couple English menus after 40 minutes of being seated. Another 15 minutes go by and we had to flag down a passing waiter to ask for more water, our drinks (30 minutes after ordering them) an appetizer and to place our food order. Meanwhile, parties who had been seated after us were given drinks, appetizers, entrees, and had paid and left. I finally flagged down the guy who looked like the manager and asked about our food. He apologized, rushed into the back and we got one entree about 20 minutes later and the other about 10 minutes after that. No discount on the bill. We spent close to 2 hours in this place. We didn't even have the opportunity to order more than one drink because no one ever came to check on us. With that said, the food was good which is why I'm giving it one star. If I could give it no stars for the service, I would. I also would have complained, but we didn't have time because were running late to our show (thanks for that, btw). Decor and atmosphere were nice. Worst service ever, however.

    All the dishes sooooo yummy!!!

    Just having the Crab dim sum, beautiful flavours with a hint of heat which is good. Matching with a nice Chablis

    The decor in this place is nice (and they gave me a flower at the exit!) it's a good date spot, and the food is also okay

    The Mushroom Soup (spicy!) is absolutely the highlight of the menu and the one dish we remembered from Bangkok.

    We are Americans living temporarily in Vincennes for my husband's job. Found this place around…read moreChristmas, but it was closed for the holidays and had to wait a month to try it. So glad we did!! The service is great, and the food really fresh, delicious, and beautifully plated. It has a good level of spice, too, which is not easy to find in France (they don't do "spicy" here). We've brought friends and family here when they've visited. Be sure to call for reservations -- they're always busy!

    Like Ms Candy J said, always call and book a table. Three of us colleagues were in Vincennes for a…read moreweek on business - two of us are From USA and the third from Netherlands. After feeling disgusted with eating French food for a few days, we were elated to stumble up on this Thai place. On a fine evening at 6:30 we walked up to this totally empty restaurant only to be told there are no tables inside or out - that too in broken two word English sentences! We didn't believe all those empty tables are reserved, especially when the place has a whole of 6 reviews on Yelp! We insisted on speaking in English as none of us knew any French. Boy did we feel like we hit an oasis in the French desert when we found one guy that said he speaks little English! He must have felt sympathetic to our sorry Non-French asses and gave us a table outside. Then comes the fun part, the menu is in total French!!! I being the super geek, whipped up my iPhone and started google translator to figure it out. After a few attempts we ordered pad Thai and cashew chicken and asked to make it spicy - yeah, us poor soles that hate bland food and believe it should be a crime to even offer bland food!! He gave us some dirty looks, yes I know they are dirty looks, I have been to Thailand myself! Anyway, the food came super fast and we finished it faster than it came! It was ok in Thai terms but must be super awesome in French terms (or may be super nasty for the spice and taste averse French palette?) Second to me I tried to call but they wouldn't pick up the phone! So I walked down at 6:30 to be told there are no tables! Again, not even a fly was there! I asked if I can place an order for carry out. The English speaking lad hesitated but told me to come after 7:00. I was persistent and asked if I could place the order then and come pick it up after 7. He scratched his head and took my order and said after 7:20. When I walked in, he stars in the French skies are in my favor, they had my food ready and also had a dessert item added just to show their appreciation!!
