Nicely prepared tables and large windows without the usual asian kitsch appealed us to come in and try. There are concise a la carte options as well as their flagship menu which gives you a good variety of vietnamese dishes. From nems , dimsum soup as starter or crispy duck as main meal it was all delicious. Service was outstanding and attentive , and prices correct. One minor point , In terms of originality ( and those who have been in vietnam) it falls a bit short , but nevertheless it should not deviate too much from the french tastebuds to appeal clients ... Highly recommended. ,,!!

I later concluded that we may have been treated rudely since we did not speak French and the host did not speak any English. It definitely was not a customer oriented experience, so I do not recommend this place period.

Had a lovely dinner with my friend here in this tiny, snug restaurant and it was the best!…read more SERVICE: Their servers here speak English, French (bien sûr), and Chinese! They were very nice and accommodating when we had questions of their menu items. FOOD: I got a noodle dish that came with cucumber, carrots, and ground meat in a shallow soup (it's a dry noodle dish for the most part). It was so good - there were plenty of vegetables and a hefty amount of noodles and beef to make your euro worth. My friend and I also split a dish of (17) dumplings to go with our individual plates and it was so much food. Food coma/baby were definitely worth it and the dumplings were so delicious! OTHER: We didn't have a reservation but the wait during dinner hour (7/8 pm) was not bad at all. We had to wait around 15-20 minutes, but considering how many people were coming and going it wasn't a bad wait at all. I suppose I'd recommend you to make a reservation as this place can get super crowded!

The truth is: I love sushi and I could easily have it a couple of nights a week. I love the little conveyor passing by and waiting for my favorite dish to get delivered directly to my table!!! Plus, if I don't have enough time to go to a restaurant and don't really feel like eating yet another sandwich, Matsuri is the place to go! You can be in and out pretty quickly. I love going there by myself, sit by the conveyor and read a book. I'll even tell you a secret: my favorite dish does not come on the conveyor, you actually have to order it... But oops... I can't remember the name of it right now... I guess I am just going to have to go back soon! :)
