A taste of Pho at Paradise Cafe

Paris, Kentucky. Paris is a unique and quaint town with abundant views of beautiful horse farms and history. But inside this charming town you'll find Paradise Cafe, Asian Fusion Restaurant. I never knew this restaurant existed until my cousin mentioned it and I'm so happy she did! On a whim my daughter, her boyfriend, and I decided to take a road trip to Paris!
Paradise Cafe is located in the world's tallest three story building. Yes you heard right! The interior is small but it's full of life, energy, vibrant colors, and the aromas of delicious Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine.
I was so fortunate to meet the owner and chef, Mr. Nguyen.  He himself is Vietnamese. We briefly talked about our lives and he instantly felt like part of my family. He is a very sweet caring man and it was an honor to have met him.
Of course I ordered the beef Pho. It was superb! The broth was devine, the flavors of ginger and star anise were infused perfectly. The plating was one I've not seen before but I liked it. Mr. Nguyen made sure you had the right amounts of hoisin sauce, siracha, and lime. It is Pho at it's best and I'll definitely be back!
