    I ordered spicy udon and it was really spicy. It’s super good and original. I recommend the apple tea too ☺️ Next time I’m gonna try papaya salade 🌶️

    Wawa's is a cozy little place. There aren't a lot of options in the menu but that's not necessarily bad. More is not always better. I had a soup with udon and the service was kind enough to let me combine the soup with duck instead of spicy beef. I also got a bubble tea and the papaya salad. The papaya salad was quite good, almost as good as the ones I had in Thailand but it wasn't spicy at all. I guess this is to be expected given that in Europe we cannot tolerate the touristic spiciness of Asia. Other than that it was delicious! I was a bit dissapointed with the udon soup. The duck was fresh and tasty but the udon felt like it was cooked a long time ago and just put in the soup when ordered. It was very firm in contrast to freshly boiled udon which is soft. Given that udon needs very little time to be boiled I was a bit surprised by that. In general I felt like the quality of the ingredients in the soup didn't reflect its price. In addition the bubble tea was watered down and had very little flavour to it. It was like drinking water with a hint of tea. In general, I believe that Wawa's can be a great restaurant if a little more care is put in the quality of its soups.

    One of my favorite Asian restaurant in Lausanne. The staff is always very nice and the soups delicious. The hot beef soup is the best, if you can handle some heat.

    Super good with solid prices. Fresh tasting bites. The shrimp in the shrimp wonton soup was top notch fresh and cooked to perfection. Summer roll was very fresh. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

    Good, reliable, kind of comforting food. I’ve seen that there are some regular customers, which is a good thing! However, I’ve been to Vietnam, and I’ve had many times Vietnamese dishes in different restaurants (in France) and the experience here was rather disappointing. Lacking taste, lacking spices, lacking greens (I missed coriander, for example). I can’t say that it was bad, because of the regular customers (the price is acceptable and they have student-specific plates). But as a tourist/traveler, I cannot recommend it..

    2nd time here , order their signature beef rice noodles soup. The favour in the soup is much stronger this time compared to my last visit.

    I've only gotten take-out items from them so far, but everything has always been fresh and tasted great, the friendly service is excellent, and the grilled ravioli are particularly delicious!

    I go to WAWA every time with my girlfriend and we always have a good time. The pho beef noodle soup is the best and so as all the dishes on menu. The owner and the waitress is super nice and kind. They give us free drinks sometimes. The atmosphere and the food makes you feel like home. The best restaurant in Switzerland 👍👍👍

    A great place to eat noodles and pho. Very friendly service. You can order in French English and Chinese. (Maybe more but my skills are limited) 說中文。说中文

    One of the best noodle soups I've ever eaten! Friendly staff, good main and side dishes. So small and cozy, just what we needed on a cold night 🌸

  • 5/5 Parine C (. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered sweet and sour chicken, soy sauce duck & a deep fried wontons side dish. Everything tastes very good and the wontons are very crispy. Highly recommend!!!!

    Great lunch spot, delicious authentic dishes, good sized portions, well presented, and friendly service for a reasonable price. I will definitely be back! The only negative is that the dining area is small and there can be big groups that come in to order lunchtime takeout, which can make it a bit cramped / noisy.

    Asian cuisine with a modern touch. We have takeaway often.

  • 5/5 Paul A. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible food and relaxing atmosphere. We had the vermicelles de riz avec bœuf & soupe de nouilles Phở au bœuf. There was a real freshness and subtleness behind the bold flavors. Highly recommend.

    Went there and were surprised how boring a dish can get - I had the only vegetarian option and it reminded a lot of a dish that someone created who was afraid of any flavour or spices. The price was quite high for the ingredients. The best thing about the restaurant was that they didn‘t mix up the drinks - ordered coke received coke yess

  • 5/5 Thanos K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food for a good price. Waffle with ice cream and strawberries is to die for! You can even get bubble tea here.

  • 5/5 Tido M. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicios and – if you order so – quite spicy. If you are used to Asian food and fancy it you should head here and try it. Once, twice, or ona regular basis. ;-) At the same time reasonable prices and centrally located. Enjoy!

  • 3/5 Shane D. 3 years ago on Google
    The price is good but the food is just so-so. Not real Viets food, more like Viet-Chinese mixed but cant blame them. Staff is friendly, the food was quick.
