Linh - Not Just A Restaurant — Restaurant in Prague

I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to give bad reviews, especially not to vegan places, which I very much welcome in Prague.

Unfortunately, I have repeatedly experienced horrible service and food at Linds Vegan Corner. Overall, I have been there 3 times and it has always been a bad experience.

We were seated at a table where it took the staff approximately 10minutes to register us and bring us the menu. For clarification the place at Havel Market was about 25 square meters or so. After we chose our food, I chose the Pho soup and my colleague chose the udon noodles, and then came the long wait. Very long. For about 50 minutes no one came to us with anything we ordered. After about an hour of waiting, I went to ask the lady behind the bar, who by the way had her phone in her hand and didn't care what was going on in the place, if we could ever expect our food. The lady very unpleasantly said that the food was still being made, even though it was clear from her expression that she had no idea. After another 5 minutes of waiting, our food miraculously came to us. Udon noodles were ok. That's all I can say, because after an hour of waiting, getting over-salted noodles covered in soy sauce was unpleasant. In any case, the biggest problem was with the Pho soup. Ignoring the hour wait during lunch, the food was still awful. The soup just tasted like hot water from a kettle where someone threw a few herbs and unflavored tofu. I'm not the type to criticize someone else's food, and I usually really like everything. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish this even after seasoning it with sriracha.

The icing on the cake was the fact that during our hour-long wait for hot water, one courier after another came to the restaurant to deliver food. It was obvious that the priority of the establishment is the delivery and not the people sitting right there in their restaurant. From the looks of the other customers, it was clear that we weren't the only ones having a fun afternoon waiting. In any case, my colleague immediately wanted to give negative reviews everywhere she could, but I talked her into thinking it might have been an accident and that we'd give them another chance.

Unfortunately, our second visit wasn't the best either. I think we waited about 45minutes for our food, the place cheerfully issued one order for delivery after another and we just sat and waited. Again one meal was ok and the other was literally not good.

I subsequently tried to order food home and again something different came than I ordered, or the food looked completely different than the photo.

I really don't plan on going here again for the next few years. But I believe time will not give up and I will go try it again so I can improve their review.

I am writing a review about a year ago, when the bistro was located at Havel market in the centre of Prague. Now it's in Mánesova Street in Vinohrady, where I haven't been yet. If I ever visit there and my view of this place improves, I will gladly...

Had very mixed feelings while writing this review as i am still not sure how i feel about this place. On one hand it looks like a genuine vegan restaurant that cares about animals with a beautifully designed menu and beautiful goal. On the other hand, they put very little effort into preparing the meals and making a restaurant as comfortable as possible. First of all, they don't have any heating in the restaurant, zero, we wore our coats the entire time. We ordered starter, two main dishes and a drink. Meals were served very fast, however, fried cauliflower was watery and even cold from inside. It was rushed to be baked in oil and ended up fried from outside, partially raw from inside. Curry we ordered was below average, it was full of starch and didnt taste like proper curry, even though it had a lot of veggies. (we know how it should tasye, thank you). My Pho had good broth taste and veg meat was decent but there was nothing else to the soup except pieces of meat and noodles with water. Portion was huge so it was very disappointing to eat plain noodles with water... Finally, for the drink I ordered matcha shake but it came out fermented? Had very weird taste and l had to ask to bring something else instead. I got fruit smoothie which was better. In addition, in the past, I have ordered via wolt veggie burger with fries and tomato tofu, however, fries came to me soggy and inedible, veggie burger had a good setup of cheese and sauces with a bun, but the patty itself was very tasteless so I threw it away and used some of my own frozen... As for tomato tofu it was okayish, it was tofu puffs in the tomato sauce, nothing extraordinary. It wasn't tasty on second day, unfortunately. Summarizing all my experience, I cannot give them more than 3/5, food is below average for the prices they ask people to pay and i strongly suggest them to work on perfecting the food and drinks they provide, or atleast improve the restaurant and its coziness, make it warm, paint over the wall that has splashes and smudged on...

Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this place to a friend. The staff wasn't greeting us properly. Just a little side eye and a short answer to our question if we can sit down. I come from a country where it's basic etiquette to bring all the dishes at the same time. In linh's vegan corner everyone gets the dish at a different time. It's not a pleasing atmosphere. Someone has to wait while the other eats, or the meal gets cold. The meals in generell weren't really hot temperature unfortunately. We had to look for cutlery ourselfs, the staff just gave us the dishes without checking if we had everything to eat.

Now to the food itself: We ordered 3. Main dishes. The ramen soup was good. It had a good amount of vegetables, tofu and flavor. I liked it. But it didn't seem to be authentic ramen at all since it was made with udon noodles. The black magic udon dish was disappointing. It was just udon and a basic dark soy sauce with the littlest amount of vegetable possible and not really flavorful. We also had a poke bowl, which was average. The tofu was covered in a sweet mango like sauce, which gave the bowl a little bit of flavor. But overall it had not enough vegetables for a fresh poke bowl. A big minus for me were the canned peas, which I don't associate with "fresh" and healthy food.

Overall I think linh's vegan corner could improve a lot by paying more attention to the details in costumer service and switching some things in their kitchen to really live up to the beautifully advertised manu...
