    Delicious food meets amazing customer service here. This fusion Vietnamese restaurant is the middle of the city. Food was fresh and really tasty. I highly recommend booking ahead, it can be bit over crowded during these covid times. I can highly recommend. The prawns in the starter fried with sweet potatoes was mouthwatering!

    Incredibly delicious. Crispy sweet potato shrimp, in short, probably the best way i've ever had shrimp prepared. Bun Chay was a perfect mix of flavors, and combination of fresh ingredients. I look forward to my next visit! @getthegirlafork

    Why is there such a hype about this place? Nothing we had was particularly outstanding and deserving of the “double the price” approach. The “dim sum”-like dumpling dishes and the dry & non-crispy duck do not deserve this kind of praise. Not authentic: goes without saying. Sorry. Pleasant service though.

    Best Asian restaurant in town and great prices for the quality of food. I especially recommend the Spicy Beef wok dish and the starter selection. Just WOW!!! Only miss their delivery option.

    A pleasant dining experience with friendly and attentive staff. The menu offers a variety of dishes to suit different preferences. The fried banana & ginger ice cream was nice, and be sure to try the chef's weekly specials, which are consistently great!. They accept card payment.

    One of the most amazing and authentic restaurants in Munich! Highly highly recommended. Love the food, the drinks, the staff, the flair and atmosphere. If you’re in Munich make sure to eat at them.

    Fantastic food in chill atmosphere, beautiful interior. Heaters also allow for sitting outside on colder days which is really nice. Waiters were really attentive.

    A popular Vietnamese restaurant offering innovative cuisine and an unforgettable costumer experience - a must try if you like to eat fresh, healthy and vegan/vegetarian food. Came for dinner with a friend (who loves this place) on Thursday night and will for sure come back!! 🔥What’s special? Apart from your standard spring rolls, edamame or bun bowls, you’ll find crispy sweet potatoes with peanut dip, aubergine 🍆 with coriander and leek deep or 🥑avocado, sweet potato 🍠 and cashew salad on the menu. Definitely a must try!! 💁‍♀️Service: waiters were super attentive. 🏡Vibe: Its a very popular place and you’ll need a reservation. Huge outdoor and indoor seating area. We sat outside and it was quite noisy. It may not be your ideal restaurant if you’re looking for a more quiet place. 🥗Vegan dishes: Lots of options for plant-based eaters. 🚾 Toilet seemed pretty small and is not suitable for wheelchair or strollers. Suggestions owner: 🥗Food intolerances: on the menu, you can only find labels for vegetarian food. it would be great if you could also label vegan and gluten-free dishes. August 2023

    Excellent place! Would definitely visit again and again. Do make reservations though. Went on a Tuesday night and never would have thought they'd be booked! Staff was very kind and eventually squeezed us in for 1h. The fried rice was perfect - crunchy on the outside yet chewy on the inside. The softshell crab was very delicious as well, good flavoring and right amount of crunch. The scallops and clay pot were not as good as the other two IMO. Service was good and staff was friendly. Highly recommend this place!

    Outstanding food - the flavor was top, the ingredients were fresh and the presentation amazing! We had red curry and mochi ice cream as dessert. Some might consider it a bit pricier than the average, but it’s absolutely worth it! An amazing experience, even suited for the perfect date. On top, the staff had been super friendly and welcoming. A must visit for probably one of the best Vietnamese places in Munich! I will definitely come back!!

    The food is delicious, well made, well served and fairly sized. Prices are also fair and actually low when compared to similar restaurants in Munich. Service quick and friendly. Restaurant itself is pretty and cozy. Rare find in Munich!

  • 5/5 Beril Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean restaurant. Original delicious Asian food. Staff is cleaning and wiping the table after every portion. Friendly and respectful staff. So many different choices of cocktails and mules.

    Wonderful staff, and awesome food!! We loved the whole experience. They accommodated us arriving early, and every staff member had a smile under their mask. We loved the dumplings, pad Thai, and duck fried rice. Great cocktails too! We want to come back again!!

    A very lively restaurant with a hip atmosphere in the center of Munich! The food was delicious and authentic, and their long drinks/cocktail list is sure to satisfy everyone’s needs. The wait staff was polite and efficient. A star was deducted as the prices are rather high for the given portion sizes, even for Munich‘s standards.

  • 2/5 Jeff D. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a dinner booked with friends tonight where the food was absolutely amazing. Although the service was shocking. Felt like I was being watched and judged when we asked if we could have a cake for a persons birthday. Would recommend food, would not recommend the restaurant..

  • 5/5 Flávia de S. 8 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite restaurants in Munich. Veggies are very fresh, service is usually nice. I usually go for lunch - make sure to make a reservation for dinner.

  • 4/5 JHC L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good service and food! Shrimp noodles are very tasty; the shrimps are juicy, fully de-shelled and noodles very well sautéed. Portion is not too big though. Hooded outdoor area with heat lamps so it feels very comfortable even when it’s chilly. Great vibe for small group gathering.

  • 5/5 Bernhard W. 8 months ago on Google
    The best vietnamese restaurant I have ever visited. The food is just stunning and sooo delicious. The atmosphere is very cosy and the service outstanding and very friendly. Also if you love whisky, this is a must go, very good choice of several brands. We loved it!

    Look no further! This is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Munich. I've visited this place several times, and the food is truly exceptional. Additionally, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Eva G. 10 months ago on Google
    It's my second time here and it was as great as the first time. The food quality is excellent, the service is fast, friendly and efficient. Everything you taste is delicious. The place is super pretty. Easily my favourite to celebrate a special occasion.

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 1 year ago on Google
    I arrived without a reservation on a Friday at 19:00 and they gave me a table for two without any trouble. The Shimai’s Mojito was very good and the Beef Wok was also pretty delicious. I was surprised about the amount of rice they served me along with it, it was a lot so I ended up pretty full. The restaurant is a bit expensive but it definitely has a good service and great food/drinks.

  • 5/5 Olivia S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is fantastic and the variety is various that you barely know what to choose from. This also applies for the drink menu. I had a fantastic „ho chi minh sling“. Service was very attentive. Thumbs up all the way!

    Great food, lovely atmosphere, great service. Only negative was that the music was a bit intense, but can live with that. Would highly recommend.
