    The beef dumplings, beef ramen and the mango chicken are out of this world. Fantastic service with relax atmosphere and most importantly warm, welcoming waiters. Tip: try the fried dumplings at the end with a beer for an unforgettable after taste experience. Highly recommended if you are into Vietnamese food.

    Small, authentic and homey felt Vietnamese restaurant. No, or very little MSG in their broth. Although the menu is limited, food is wonderful and tasty. Presentation of the food is well done. Their fusion dishes are great. I had the Curry mango duck, never seen it in the menu in any Vietnamese restaurants along the west coast of North America. I could taste every fresh ingredients in that dish. Service staff were very attentive and cordial. It could be very nosy when there were big crowds in there.

    Amazing restaurant! Delicious food, super friendly and attentive staff, great atmosphere and lovely attention to detail. I got an incredible Pho (one of the best I‘ve ever had), very tasty dumplings and an amazing Rose-Lychee tea. Definitely go there if you‘re craving some great Vietnamese food!

    The food is perfect! The staff’s are amazing, they even helped me how to hold the chopsticks! Authentic people from Vietnam 🇻🇳 We loved it! I recommend this place from the bottom of my heart! Sorry for the “dessert picture” I forgot to take a photo before we ate it 😂 It was mindblowing, perfection in the shape of a dessert!

    It was a nice place Service was good, waiter was friendly. I annoyed from the bell that i heard a lot when someone enter the place. But at all the place was nice. I tried the Vietnamese coffee, it was different that the other coffees. You can pay cash or card there. The place is cozi so of you are a big group i don't recommend

    Nice and cozy restaurant with a helpful staff! The food tastes amazingly smooth and is well cooked! We ordered pad thai which had a peanut-like taste. For drinks I ordered a strawberry lemonade and it was homemade and tasty! There is only one downside of this restaurant which some might find disappointing and that is the absence of draft beer. On the other hand, the beer they offered instead was also really good and after all the mentioned absence was not at all a problem.

    I was looking for good Vietnamese food in my travel this time around and I was not disappointed at all. The lychee drink was yummy. I ordered the bun Bo hue which was so good; very authentic and had all the right flavors though it was on the spicier side which I didn’t mind but it was a surprise. Different from how my mom makes it but I was so happy with how it tasted cause I went and get bun Bo hue in vietnam based on a recommended place but thought my mom made it better lol and there was something lacking in the flavors when I had it in vietnam. I got the sticky mango rice to go and that was really good though it took a little long to get to me. The atmosphere was nice, the staff was friendly and recommended the drink to me. Very good experience. I would have came back to try different dishes but I was only there for a day and a half so my time was limited.

    My partner and I both got bun bo hue and Vietnamese coffee. The broth was super clean and delicious. The spice level was great, it had a nice kick but wasn’t too crazy. The coffee came hot but they were kind enough to give us a glass of ice to turn it into an iced coffee. Great food, excellent service.

    Would prefer the soup to served WARMER. However, the dish, "bun bo hue" is still very delicious nevertheless. *Note: remember to squeeze the lime and drop in the small chili and sliced garlic for maximum release of aromatic smell and flavor. The price has increased. Please disregard the old price in the review by others that was made 2 years ago.

    The best Pho we ever find outside Vietnam

  • 5/5 Lara N. 6 months ago on Google
    For Vegan Customers: Super fresh and really delicious Pho! They have 2 different kind of vegan soups and you can tell that the stock was freshly home made with no artificial flavors. Really good was also the sticky rice with mango. All in all a delightful dinner !

    The food was delicious and the service was really nice. The fried dumplings, with the sweet and slightly spicy sauce, are a must. The fried rice with duck was very good. And the tofu and rice noodle Pho was amazing. The portions were very well served as well.

  • 2/5 Stefan G. 4 months ago on Google
    The dishes were average/poor, the best was the orange snow tea. To call the “bánh bao” a dumpling is misleading, it is more a bread. The fried squid was a bit tasteless, the tomyum soup watery. My tea was served after I was almost done with the starters. Smoothies are made with syrup only and not with fresh fruits, therefore I did not order it.

    I am so glad we came across this restaurant during our visit to Budapest. Place run by a family we had the best Pho. The staff and the owner are very friendly and understanding. Unlike other Vietnamese restaurants who serve “vegetarian pho” in a beef broth which is unacceptable here they understood when we were concerned and made sure it was completely vegetarian. Coming to the pho the all the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The broth tasted delicious and the pickled radish served along was the highlight of the dish. We also had the mango sticky rice since the mangoes are not in the season it lacked a flavor but the coconut milk and the rice tasted perfect. Definitely recommend to visit this place when in the city.

    The food was good and the staff were amazing. They were very warm in their conversations. We loved the hospitality. The place was also cozy and cute. Would definitely recommend someone who likes Vietnamese food it’s a place to enjoy at least one meal.

    3,690 HUF for a bowl of Phở Bò. 250 HUF if you want a bag and a container. If you want food that's been stored properly before preparation, don't hesitate to come here.

    We tried it last evening and it was really good! Cozy place, kind staff, good prices and especially tasty courses 😋

  • 3/5 Marcell B. 7 months ago on Google
    Since my first visit that was around 2 years ago, the quality of the food decreased a lot, especially compared to the prices. I'm not sure, perhaps it's because that is a very touristic area, so maybe their main audience are tourists. I always try the basic beef pho as a comparison signature dish from Vietnam. This time it was a nice broth, at least not overly salty or sweet, however the rice noodles were terribly overcooked, and ended up broken in the bottom of the dish... This is a really big mistake, you can't really serve soup like that. I've tasted the fried rice with chicken as well. It was overly dry, and really nothing special. Meanwhile the prices are above average compared to similar vietnamese places in Budapest. The portions are relatively small as well. I wish they will improve in the future, but right now it's not recommended.

    Amazing Vietnamese restaurant - tiny, unassuming Try the Mango Curry with chicken breast and the Chilli & Lemongrass stir-fry!!! Absolutely delicious - we kept swapping the plates between us as they were both sooooo good!! The staff were lovely too. Highly recommend this place

    Good Saigon style pho, cozy interior. Good to reserve as the place is small, recommend the soups and spring rolls. Friendly service, will definitely come back, if you need pho in the neighborhood go here!

  • 4/5 Daniel K. 3 years ago on Google
    Very cozy restaurant with nice interior design, during the evening the atmosphere is dark, just enough lights what is needed for a meal which is great. It doesn't have that Vietnamese street kitchen feeling tho, which is either good or bad based on your preference. I kind of missed it. Inside it was very hot even as we sat next to the entrance. The food tastes good, authentic with fine portions. The mango curry is amazing, recommended to try it, while the fried rice is okay it's not the best in Budapest. They serve the coffee how they serve it in Vietnam or other south east asian countries, condensed milk on the bottom, filter on top and let it drip for like 15 minutes, if you like coffee and hadn't try it, you absolutely should. The lemonade is also great. The prices a higher than usual in these kind of restaurants. The staff is always smiling and nice. It was almost full house so the service for drinks was a little slow. It's good, with tasty food, but their wok menu is not the best in the city, but surely worth a try for the coffee and curry.
