Mr. Nam — Restaurant in Vienna

We, as a family, arrived at this Vietnamese restaurant on Sunday around 3 PM. We came here with high expectations based on positive online reviews, but unfortunately, we left disappointed. Perhaps because we arrived a bit late (although there were customers before and after us) and because we didn’t speak the local language, the service here was very poor. A young woman with a stern face served us without any expression throughout. She kept asking how many portions of stir-fried rice noodles we wanted, despite my repeated explanations that we were a group of five people who wanted to try different dishes. It was difficult to place our order, and we thought it was finally done with two portions of stir-fried rice noodles, a bowl of soup noodles, Vietnamese spring rolls, and a serving of rice with curry duck. Later, it became clear that she knew what we had ordered. However, she questioned us again, asking whether we wanted one, two, or three portions of the stir-fried rice noodles. She was unfriendly during the entire service. I directly expressed my difficulty in communicating with her, and she simply walked away without saying anything. She didn’t ask us what else we needed, and she didn’t even give us a chance to order any white drinks we had originally intended. A beautiful afternoon was ruined by this restaurant. I strongly advise tourists who don’t speak the local language to avoid this place. It’s worth mentioning that we all speak English...

I am really confused about this place after all the good reviews: I did not like pho at all, it was really one of the worst in Vienna (and I also was in Vietnam). It was just salty broth with no taste and all and really strange noodles. Meat in pho was good though. Summer rolls were good and mango duck really so-so. I so hoped that there is a good Vietnam place in 10th district, but was disappointed. And not to mention the relatively high prices. I don’t know if I give...

Bestes, authentisches vietnamesisches Restaurant in Wien

Heute, endlich, nach langer Suche, das beste vietnamesische Restaurant in Wien gefunden. Wow! Pho bo Hanoi, genau so gut wie in Hanoi. Die Reisnudeln (Pho) sind spitze, die Rindsuppe mit echten Rindsknochen gemacht, ehrlich, mit tiefem Aroma und transparentem Geschmack, dazu frischer Wadschinken vom Victor-Adler Markt ums Eck, dünn geschnitten, frische Kräuter, zartrosa Zwiebel, optional frischer Chili und Limette (keine Instant Chilisauce oder sonstiger Fabriksgeschmack). Nam, der urnette Besitzer, weiß was gut ist und steht auch dazu. Als riesige Überraschung gab es heute auch noch frisches Banh cuon, eines der besten die ich je gegessen habe. Die bessere Hälfte meiner Familie kommt aus und lebt in Hanoi. Gutes Essen ist dort Religion und die Kritiker gnadenlos. Zu Mr. Nam würde ich meine hanoier Familie jederzeit mit gutem Gewissen hinbringen ohne danach wieder ewiges Geraunze hören zu müssen, dass nuuuur in Hanoi und nuuuuur in Vietnam etc...etc... Juhuu, Wien hat jetzt einen echten Vietnamesen. Eine Bitte an die ÖsterreicherInnen, fragt nicht nach irgendwelchen süßen Erdnusssaucen oder sonstigen süßem Zeug das mit vietnamesischem Essen eigentlich gar nichts zu tun hat. Das Essen wir hier so serviert wie es gedacht war/ist und über Generationen entwickelt wurde. Im wiener Wirtshaus fragt man ja auch nicht nach Ketchup zum...
