UNCLE VAN-Steingasse — Restaurant in Salzburg

Not the same as before. What happened?? Uncle Van, Natural Kitchen. Let’s stop for a second. Natural? In what way? They don’t make their own sauces without msg and E substances. The chicken is awful quality. It’s the kind of chicken you get in cheap Chinese places. Slimy and who knows what it is you’re eating. Not fresh at all. My Summer roll wasn’t freshly made either. It was dry and ice cold. They used to be so much better. Now that they have another restaurant it seems like the quality has suffered the cost. I also don’t like the woman who works down there. She was not welcoming to us at all, but when people who look rich come in, it’s like “welcomeeee”. We asked to sit upstairs she said no, but let someone else sit upstairs. How does this make sense? I also asked for a little hoisin sauce (which I know they have because they use it in their dipping sauce that I just ate for my summer roll) and she was just like: no. No hoisin. She just couldn’t be bothered. My friends ramen was over cooked the sauce was nasty. No thanks. I won’t be coming back. What a shame that it has become what it has become. I will try the other new Vietnamese place next time. And for those who say this is great Vietnamese food, you have not had some real long cooked made with...

Worst curry of my life 🤦‍♀️ The curry for almost 10 euros turned out to be just a overcooked rice porridge with chicken, huge amount of half-raw leeks, tomato paste and a small amount of coconut milk without spices or aromas, but sprinkled with ready-made fried onions. The Pho soup turned out to be no better - more precisely, the broth was not bad, but instead of 5 spices we still have the same ready-made fried onions (which get soggy in the soup and become bitter and yucky). Not recommend this place for people who really like Asian food and knows how it should originally taste… I haven’t ate even a 1/3 of dish and payed the whole amount for it 🤷‍♀️. The bill was 55 euros and the disappointment was really...

Food was average, but it's nice that you can customize your bowl the way you want. The peanut sauce was a bit spicy which might be a problem for spice-sensitive eaters. The host was very nice, however there was a mixup with our order and they forgot to make it so we had to wait quite a bit longer than usual for our food. It got pretty busy after 18:00 (Friday evening) so a reservation might be a good idea if you want to make sure you get a spot. Outside seating apparently is available as a cooperation with the bar next door, so you can order food here and drinks...
