We enjoyed lunch at Le Petit Vendome. While the establishment was small and buzzing with customers, it was a very good experience. The place buzzed with french locals enjoying meals with family and friends.

I ordered the plate of the day - veal in mushroom cream sauce, and my family had the homemade pate and the beef cheek stew. All dishes came out quickly, portions were big, and the quality and taste were fantastic.

I would highly recommend a visit!

Our visit to Com Viet Restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. We stopped by for a quick lunch before Oktoberfest and found the restaurant surprisingly peaceful despite its busy location. We ordered a chicken lunch special and chicken skewers.

The chicken lunch special was a hit – the chicken was tender, and the flavors were delicious. However, the chicken satay skewer was a disappointment. The chicken was overly dry and clung so tightly to the skewer that the skewer broke upon attempting to peel it off. Furthermore, the peanut satay sauce lacked flavor and had a watery consistency, more like soup than a sauce.

Despite the food inconsistencies, the restaurant's friendly service, convenient location near the train station, and reasonable prices left a positive impression. We're willing to return and give Com Viet another chance.

During our visit to Shinto Park's WW2 memorial gardens on a quiet weekday, we were pleasantly surprised by the well-maintained grounds. The groundskeeper kindly unlocked the museum for us, allowing us to leisurely explore. With free entry, this park is a worthwhile, quick stop if you're in the vicinity. A peaceful stroll around the garden and a peek inside the museum took us about 20-30 minutes.
