"It might seem rather odd to visit an Asian restaurant while you 're in a country world famous for its own local cuisine, but this restaurant is well worth it. (We chose it because we rationalized that France had historically had a huge influence in Southeast...Asia, so some great food ideas must have found their way back. Don 't let the name fool you. The restaurant does have excellent choices for Chinese food, but they also have some Vietnamese and my own favorite, Thai. My friend and I both ordered what is often, in the US, called Evil Jungle Chicken--a delightful combination of chicken, eggplant, coconut milk and HOT spices. It did not disappoint! The meal was a delight, including the Thai coffee at the end. The restaurant itself is small, but decorated very nicely and certainly, the feel is Asian. The wait staff was also excellent, and the manager himself came over to check on us toward the end of the meal. There were several other diners as well, a mix of local and visitors. The prices were reasonable to a little higher than US Asian restaurants, but well worth it. (The wine selection was great, too, of course! I highly recommend this for a slightly different take on French food while in Saint-Omer."
