Hanoi Food — Restaurant in Vienna

As a Viet, I have to say, do not come here. I was honestly embarrassed to see my native cuisine presented this way. First off, the restaurant claims to specialize in Hanoi food, but the dishes served are more typical of central or southern Vietnam. The person running the place has a southern accent, and the bun bo hue I ordered was clearly from the central region. It was disappointing. The taste was neither here nor there. Then there was the banh cuon. I was charged extra for the meat option, but never told there was a tofu alternative. To make matters worse, I overheard the owner telling his intern, "One or two minutes to make one dish." That’s how little respect they have for my cuisine—no soul, no flavor.

Overall, not a bad place, but probably more appropriate for a quick, cheap, bite than for a...

My favorite go-to Vietnamese place!! Very small (seats about 8 people), but oh so cozy and convenient in the Burggasse (7. district). Such a welcoming and friendly staff, always a smile on their face, help you swiftly to find what you should go for. No worries if you don't like it spicy, mild is really mild and I imagine if you prefer to spit fire, they can help you out as well. It's all freshly cooked and prepared and because of the size, rather quickly served. (Do allow for some time in the evenings, it's quite a popular place for take-away.)
