    (Translated by Google) Always good and very nice service. Changeable serious good music in the background and never too loud. But what about my favorite soup? Especially now when it gets colder outside. greeting Knut The cleaner (Original) Immer wieder gut und dazu sehr nette Bedienung. Wechselhafte ernstzunehmende gute Musik im Hintergrund und nie zu laut. Aber was ist mit meiner Lieblingssuppe? Gerade jetzt wo es kälter draussen wird. Gruß Knut Der Aufräumer

    (Translated by Google) this was certainly the craziest restaurant I've ever eaten. The decoration is different, but the atmosphere is somehow warm and cozy. The cinnamon apple tea was really delicious and you will also find several options as a vegetarian. The service was nice too. The whole thing is very bizarre, but I like it. There are 5 stars when vegetarian pho gets on the menu. (Original) das war bestimmt das verückteste Restaurant wo ich jemals gegessen habe. Die Dekoration ist aus 3iner anderen Welt, aber die Atmosphäre wird dadurch irgendwie herzlich und gemütlich. Der Zimt-Apfel-Tee war richtig lecker und man findet auch als Vegetarier mehrere Optionen. Der Service war auch nett. Das ganze ist zwar sehr skurril, aber ich mag es. 5 Sterne gibt es, wenn vegetarisches Pho auf die Karte kommt.

    (Translated by Google) Super delicious food and good fruit shakes! The owners are also very nice. The restaurant is original, something different .. The only drawback, which is why I deducted a star, are the toilets and the way to get there - the cleanliness could be improved (Original) Super leckeres Essen und gute Fruit Shakes! Auch die Inhaber sind sehr nett. Das Restaurant ist originell, mal was anderes.. einziges Manko, weshalb ich einen Stern abgezogen habe, sind die Toiletten und der Weg dorthin - die Sauberkeit könnte verbessert werden

    (Translated by Google) The Phong Lan has been around forever, it was one of the first Vietnamese restaurants in the area of ​​Barbarossaplatz. Mostly the restaurant is operated by only two men - by the cook and owner as well as a helper in the background and in the service of the guests. The focus is clearly the delicious food, so not the ambience or the friendly service. The bulk of the dishes are freshly prepared in wok. Because this is so you can easily vary the requirements of the menu, so for example. prepare spicy instead of spicy. The prices are cheap, as with a snack. The owner likes to decorate his restaurant, especially with unusual plants and elaborately crafted objects such as a swan or a fantasy figure. (Original) Das Phong Lan gibt es schon ewig, es war eins der ersten vietnamesischen Restaurants im Bereich des Barbarossaplatzes. Meist wird die Gaststätte von nur zwei Männern betrieben - von dem Koch und Inhaber sowie einem Helfer im Hintergrund und bei der Bedienung der Gäste. Im Mittelpunkt steht ganz klar das leckere Essen, also nicht etwa das Ambiente oder der freundliche Service. Die Masse der Gerichte wird frisch im Wok zubereitet. Weil das so ist kann man die Vorgaben aus der Speisekarte problemlos variieren, also z.B. scharf statt pikant zubereiten lassen. Die Preise sind günstig, wie bei einem Imbiss. Der Inhaber dekoriert sein Restaurant gerne, insbesondere mit ungewöhnlichen Pflanzen und kunsthandwerklich aufwendig gestalteten Objekten wie bspw. einem Schwan oder einer Phantasiefigur.

    (Translated by Google) We have been to this wonderful little "other world" on the Luxembourger Str. Here you can really relax and enjoy the excellent and affordable food in an atmosphere between forest, aquaristic and neat kitsch. An absolute insider tip and definitely no tourists here :) Just great! And definitely try the fancy cocktail! (Who's tough is the rose or the bamboo brandy) (Original) Wir waren schon häufig in dieser wunderbaren kleinen „anderen Welt“ auf der Luxembourger Str. Hier kann man echt relaxen und das hervorragende und auch noch erschwingliche Essen in einer Atmosphäre zwischen Wald, Aquaristik und gepflegtem Kitsch genießen. Ein absoluter Geheimtipp und definitiv keine Touristen hier :) Einfach super! Und probiert unbedingt den Phantasie Cocktail! (Wer hart im Nehmen ist auch den Rosen- oder den Bambusschnaps)

    Food was rather bland. The worst Vietnamese place I have been to in Cologne. Owners weren’t very welcoming either.

  • 4/5 Jithesh P. 1 year ago on Google • 206 reviews
    This restaurant is a bit difficult to find out, as there are lot of people infront of it and entrance of this hotel seems like a normal house. But th ambience inside was really worth visiting. We got a feeling of little Vietnam inside with all the plants ans other stuffs. They bring food quite fast and the quality of food is awesome. The also play a light music which gives you a feeling of a convenient environment. Apart from the ambience and quality, the menu is more or less same like that of a Vietnamese restaurant. My favourite among them was chicken with peanut sauce or mango curry.

    The food was good, but quite simple. There were only few options. It is fine for 1 time, but nothing special. Keep in mind that even the "non-spicy" dish was a little spicy.

  • 4/5 Wei-Ting L. 3 years ago on Google • 143 reviews
    Interesting restaurant with lots of plants and funny wallpictures. The dishes were okay and fresh. However, there are not so many different options for dishes.

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 1 year ago on Google • 126 reviews
    Super nice restaurant. Very cosy and quite special place with a lot of plants :) The food is very good and you have to try out the cocktails - the "Fantasia" cocktail is awesome. Be aware you can only pay with cash.

    This place is absolutely gorgeous! It's full of plants, with moderate prices and a very friendlystaff. The Pho Ga was delicious😋

  • 5/5 elliot m. 5 months ago on Google • 64 reviews
    I loved it! Not only because of the atmosphere, the food was really good and the staff was amazing 🥲

  • 4/5 Felipe Rodríguez M. 4 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Amazing flavor, original yet slight fusion twists into traditional Vietnamese cuisine at a very affordable price. Whatever you order also try the "Vietnamese spring rolls" with the sweet sour fish hot sauce, granted the best ones I ever tried. Also, the house warm sake felt like the perfect companion for the meal. However, on the downside it can be a little slow from order to dishes on table (I waited for 25 mins) so 4,5 stars.

    (Translated by Google) A real piece of gold. The interior is awesome and you have a lot to look at. With a lot of love for detail has been equipped here. The food tasted great and there were also decent portions. Finally, there was a fortune cookie. The toilets are scary though. (Original) Ein richtiges Goldstück. Die Inneneinrichtung ist der Hammer und man hat richtig viel zu betrachten. Mit sehr viel liebe zum Detail ist hier ausgestattet worden. Das Essen hat super geschmeckt und es waren auch ordentliche Portionen. Zum Schluss gab es noch einen Glückskeks. Die Toiletten sind allerdings gruselig.

  • 5/5 Hanna B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food. Amazing decoration. Amazing service. Only unfortunate thing was that they could not substitute beef broth for vegetable broth. Perhaps in the future they will though. It seems to me like a place that will grow in popularity in the coming years!
