I really loved the dish that i ordered (sadly i dont remember the name of it), coconut milk perfectly complimented the rice. Their karaage and passionfruit juice were also quite tasty. Definitely recommended

Highly recommended. Big menu with also daily dishes. As hors d oevres we ordered the fresh vietnamese rolls. They were tasty but to be honest I have tried better. Next time I d skip then. The main courses were delicious. Big portions reasonable prices. Very friendly staff, quick service. When the weather is nice you can sit outside as well. Credit cards are accepted and very easily accessible with public transport.

It’s more of a Vietnamese fusion. The food is good with fresh vegetables. Service was a bit slow but was worth it to wait. Coming back again.

The place is very nice. The decoration is like traditional in Vietnam. You feel a little bit far away from Germany there. The presentation of the food is very good. The waitress was very careful with us. The food is delicious and not so expensive. I recommend it also for students.

The food was pretty good overall. The karage was divine. Would come back for those any moment... Really delicious. The summer roll with shrimps was flavorless, so was the accompanying peanut sauce. A bit disappointed. I had the green beef curry, the taste was nice, but totally lacking any heat. It hat two chilli's on the menu, but was milder then any of the dishes in the table. It felt underwhelming I had to ask for chillies and chilly oil. Also tried the chicken mango curry, that was was tasty and had a light heat. That one delivered as it should. Overall, not a top place to go, but not a bad pick either. Service for improved there luckily so that is another positive.

Great vietnamese dishes and kind treatment in a cossy ambient. Main dish for around 9€, drinks (nice home-made ice tea) around 3€, summer rolls around 2.5€/unit (4 different kinds: shrimps, meat, vegetarian and salmon). Not a huge variety of main dishes (5 dishes that vary with the day) + some in the menu, but the 3 I have tried (see pictures) were outstanding (Not vegan/vegetarian myself but liked the tofu). Food takes its time to arrive so be patient.
