I was next door and seen this restaurant on my way to my car. I am so glad I did. It was a great experience. The service was so refreshing and a lost practice that I haven't seen in quite some time. During a time it's expected to feel rushed, not treated with any regard, or just lacking genuine respect and standards at most places. This was the opposite of that. The atmosphere was very comfortable and I want to say relaxing.... which is so rare to me. The employees were very attentively kind. There are really cool photos and articles displayed. With artistic cultural furniture pieces that I was admiring. Looks like they've had a prominent history I didn't know of. Food was fresh and well prepared. Had soup tonight and can't wait to try more dishes! Very good over all experience. Thank you!

It was Valentine's, I wanted to take my wife to a nice French restaurant but one of the reservation failed through, luckily I remembered this place that I took my girlfriend (my wife) 22 years ago. We both remembered this place, we didn't know it's still there after all these years since we never came back after we got married and moved. The Google booking system is amazing, we got our confirmation right away. My wife was happy to come back to our first date years ago. The restaurant is small, plenty of parking spaces, we came early because we went straight after work, we found the parking right away. This is called French VN fusion restaurant, it's kinda like our favorite Le Colonial in SF but closed after 26 years in business. We've been in Paris and tried quite a few restaurant there, we like escargots, steaks and ducks, but we still think the fusion restaurants taste as good or better. The service here is so attentive, pleasant and happy, we liked it right away after all these years. The decor is quite nice IMHO, quite simple and not very pretentious. So, French restaurant the escargots are a must, this place doesn't use the whole snails instead using the out-of-shell meats, with a little bread in a cup, kinda different. The important thing is the tastes, the meat is quite soft and flavorful, we both liked them very much. The bread dipped in the sauce is quite tasty. Everywhere we went, we love crispy calamari, and this place is excellent, the calamari is crispy but the meat is tender, the sauce are just plain tartar and cocktail sauce, they should make their own special sauce for this then it would be better. We finished these in a heartbeat. The salad is included which is nice. The dressing is just right, I think it has a touch of fish sauce in it, very nice. The main course, the #15 and #16 that we can hear people are ordering. we order both because we forgot what we ordered 22 years ago LOL. Actually both sauces are almost tasted the same, but my wife thought her pepper corn sauce tasted better than my Mushroom sauce. My wife likes the hot crunchy bread and butter instead of my red rice. They're both excellent eating with our sauces. The steak is tender and does have texture, it's the sauce that counts. The prices here are quite reasonable. We will come back here again to try different dishes when we're craving for another romantic outing event. It's not just the restaurant, it's how we love each other. When we're in love, everything is romantic and taste great LOL.

This little French Vietnamese Bistro surprised us with how good the food was. I'd be lying if I said I had high expectations walking in, but everything we ordered had a lot of flavor and good service. This little gem is tucked away in Jacklin Square in Milpitas and has been around for 28+ years. This was our first time trying, but I already want to go back and try their Beef Stew and get the Fish Sauce Wings again!

Maybe we ordered the wrong things but the grilled pork & imperial rolls (bun thit nuong) looked nothing like the picture on Google reviews, but looked like any other Pho place. Which was good, but far more white noodle than meat. But I will try again

This place has authentic Vietnamese food (I can pridefully speak on that) and delicious French food! I had some steak, egg rolls, and chicken, and they all hit the spot. On top of this, the ambiance was amazing, gotta love it!

This is our first time trying a blend of Vietnamese and French restaurant. We enjoyed it so much as it’s something new and unique for us. They have appetizers like escargot, entrees like steak and seafood. Definitely curious to try the other dishes so will come back for sure!

French and Vietnamese cuisine you need to check out in Milpitas! chezchristinabistro offers a variety of dishes such as rice plates, pho, sizzling plates, appetizers, desserts, and so much more. My favorite was the sizzling steak. The steak came out perfectly and it was chef’s kiss. I also enjoyed the pho and chicken wings. Next time you’re in Milpitas, check this place out!

Thumbs up on the escargot - tender and flavorful. Buttered toast on top was nice too - toasted nicely outside and soft inside.Thumbs up on the imperial rolls - piping hot and tasty. I enjoyed wrapping them up in the lettuce and basil.

Relaxing and peaceful vibes while enjoying delicious Vietnamese food. Came here for a team lunch on Thursday with a reservation. Chez Christina had our table ready and provided excellent service and food, 5/5! Ordered the steak with mushroom sauce and it was excellent. Will be coming again in my personal time :)
