Pho Linh — Restaurant in Vienna

Shh... Can you keep a secret? Tucked away in the heart of Vienna lies Pho Linh, a Vietnamese gem hidden in plain sight. Nestled in a picturesque and tranquil alley amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, this little haven is so beautifully concealed that writing a review feels almost like betraying a trust. But some secrets are just too good not to share.

From the moment you step foot into Pho Linh, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality that feels like a comforting embrace. Our server was a shining example of efficiency and politeness, making our dining experience a true delight.

And oh, the food! Each dish is a symphony of flavors, crafted with care and authenticity. However, I must confess – I made the mistake of only ordering the daily special. While it was delicious, my hunger lingered like an unfinished chapter in a captivating book. Or perhaps, I simply couldn't get enough of the culinary magic Pho Linh had to offer.

But fear not, dear foodie friends, for this hidden gem is a treasure worth seeking. So, if you find yourself wandering the labyrinthine streets of Vienna, do yourself a favor and seek out Pho Linh. Just promise me you'll keep its charm and allure a secret – some things are too precious to share with the world.

I, for one, eagerly await my next clandestine rendezvous with Pho Linh's...

A friend of mine loves Vietnamese cuisine and came for a visit so we decided to give this place a shot. Payment is CASH ONLY, please keep that in mind! The place is located inside the inner building square. It has outdoor and indoor tables, we had to take the indoor one since all outdoor tables were full. When going inside you immediately notice the calm and relaxing interior as well as the open kitchen, indicating that they have nothing to hide or be ashamed of in their cooking methods. We are both fans of eating good food, and lots of it, so we gave several dishes a try: Nr 22 Ga Cuon Nr 26 Crispy Curry Beef Pockets Nr 54 Pho Rau Cai Nr 54 Bun Cari Vit And 'Chang' beer The food was absolutely spectacular! Even though it takes a little for the food to come, don't forget that good dishes take time to prepare. Everything is made with fresh ingredients and given the dedication and love that it takes to cook these dishes. The service was also very kind and they made an extra big portion for me after I asked which main dish is the largest :D! Maybe a bit on the pricier side when you consider Vietnamese cuisine actually being rather on the cheaper side, but it is definitely worth every cent. If you like good Vietnamese food in a nice atmosphere then try...

Nestled in Vienna's Fleischmarkt 16 courtyard, Pho Linh offers a vibrant taste of Vietnam. It's clearly popular, so reservations are highly recommended, even on weekdays!

The staff were exceptionally friendly, making us feel welcome. Be aware it's cash-only, and the restrooms are in a separate building across the courtyard. Also, the actual entrance might slightly differ from Google Maps, so referring to photos will help you find it easily.

The food was incredibly delicious – so much so that dishes disappeared too quickly for us to photograph them all! Highlights included the fresh Papaya Salad, crispy VN Spring Rolls, and aromatic Curry Beef with Rice and Chicken Pho Soup.

We enjoyed a Carnuntum Cuvée and a Zweigelt. A minor suggestion: the red wine could be served a bit cooler. I'm keen to try their "Wiener Trilogie 2019" by Wieninger next time.

While the pho broth was less abundant than I've had elsewhere, its flavor was excellent.

Pho Linh closes at 9:00 PM, so plan accordingly. Despite a few quirks, Pho Linh is a highly recommended spot in Vienna for its delicious Vietnamese cuisine and...
