  Wanted to try how pho was like in Paris and this was one of the most reviewed locations in Paris per Google.
  
  Some differences I notice vs. from my experience in the States (particularly in Southern California)--
  -They use red chili peppers (instead of jalapeños, which make their broth spicier if you add it in)
  -they use wider rice noodles
  -they use lemons vs limes
  - Sriracha isn't readily available unless you ask for it (maybe it is due to table space or it is just not commonly used?)
  
  Found the broth to be sweeter as well. For 10 euros, price wasn't bad for a different experience.  You can also add additional meat or noodles for an additional fee.
  
  It is cash only.
  
  Along with fast service, they are super efficient with utilizing space.  You literally have to move tables to squeeze in, but hey the more the merrier! You can also dine outside as well.
  
  Our server was able to speak to us in English, which I found to be super impressive just because he also spoke at minimum - Vietnamese and French.

  CASH ONLY
  
  Service was quick and we sat outside even though it was pouring rain. I didn't know it was cash only, however the owner was accommodating enough to accept US dollars in exchange.
  
  Ordered the combination pho with a side of egg roll. The egg rolls were somewhat crispy with a good filling but the pho missed the spot for me. The broth was just lacking and had a somewhat weird taste. Can't really describe it but it was just off. However, the portions are fair I would say for the price.
  
  Overall, quick spot to grab some Vietnamese food if you are getting tired of European food as a tourist. Although, there seems to be alot better options around the area.

  So far, this has been one of our favorite meals in Paris. We had skipped lunch and arrived here starving late afternoon on Wednesday. Since it was a random time, the place wasn't very busy and we opted for a table outside.
  
  We ordered #2, #6, & #8. The beef pho with flank and brisket was one of the best we've had (second only to a place in Houston); the broth was flavorful and neither too watery nor too heavy and wasn't overly sweet, which we can't stand; meat was fine; great accoutrements; wider noodles than the vermicelli-like ones you get in the States that we enjoyed better. The chicken eggs rolls were remarkably crisp and well-seasoned, albeit a bit too oily. The noodle/pork/veggie bowl (forgot the name) was also tasty and had a nice zippiness to it.
  
  Cold beer+perfect weather+behaving toddler=vacation happiness. Portions are generous, prices are decent, and even the grumpy service didn't bother us. To boot, the location was close to Place D'Italie, where one of us lived when she studied abroad, so we got to walk around there as well. Highly recommend Pho Banh Cuon 14 if you're looking to get a Vietnamese fix.
  
  FYI: Cash only! Good for them. Why should they be paying more taxes when you take colonization into account?

  Even at 2:30pm, there was a line for this place. Jump into the cue and scowl at the happy diners and hope that they'll eat fast. Lol
  
  Really, not to worry, this place is quick. The line moves fast, orders are taken right away, and food hits the table promptly. You'll be eating a delicious meal in no time.
  
  Most of the patrons were eating one of the many pho soups that were available. As for me, it was all about the banh cuon AKA in Paris as "Vietnamese Ravioli." Thin rice noodle sheets are wrapped around a filling of ground pork and wood ear fungus (like a mushroom) topped with green onions and fried shallots. Pour over the bowl of orange hued fish sauce and you're good to go.
  
  This meal really fulfilled my Asian food cravings after two weeks away from home. In the 13th arrondissement, it might be a tad out of the way but give it a try and then wander Paris' Little Vietnam for a different sort of Parisian experience and enjoy being transported to Southeast Asia for a few minutes.

  In A Nutshell:
  
  -Pho Banh Cuon 14 located in District 13 (Choisy, Paris, France) to me was an average pho restaurant.
  -I was really looking forward to venturing into this part of town, since there seemed to be a consolidation of Vietnamese restaurants.
  -You can sit inside or outside, but being in Paris, I recommend you sit outside.
  -The pho was okay.
  -The broth was good, but I wish they had more pho combo options in addition to more veggies and meat.
  -The banh cuon (which are Vietnamese rice rolls) were not very good.
  -If you look at my photo of the banh cuon, you can see why.
  
  Overall, I am biased when it comes to Vietnamese food.  Not only am I married to a wonderful wife who can cook great Vietnamese food, but I also live in California where heavy competition brings out the best Vietnamese food you can find on the globe!
