Frommer's Review
Set in a striking restored colonial, this place is a longtime tourist favorite with good Vietnamese cuisine tempered for foreign palates. Indochine fills with tour groups at lunchtime, which can be a bit much, bringing a rise in the noise level and a drop in service quality. The spring rolls are great, as are both the banana flower salad and the crispy fried prawn cakes with ginger. Ask about daily specials. With indoor and patio seating and traditional Vietnamese performances in the evening (call ahead for times), Indochine is well worth a visit for the beautiful setting alone. Take a cab -- it's hard to find.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
