Hoai Viet — Restaurant in Cologne

Take the name "Viet" out your restaurant's name if you don't know how to make Vietnamese dishes.

The food was atrocious bad, and not authentic at all. We ordered Pho & Bun Bo Hue.

Let's start with the Bun Bo Hue, these clowns used rice vermicelli as noodles, and after asking what kind of noodles these were, they replied to me that this was the correct way. How do you even dare to tell a VIETNAMESE person that using the WRONG type of noodles is the correct way?? The other joke is the meat that they used, they put the EXACT same meat as they put in the Pho (with raw beef even) in the Bun Bo Hue... What the F is this for recipe fusion-ish joke?? Have they even googled what to put in Bun Bo Hue?? It tasted like they bought instant Pho broth and threw a tea spoon of hot oil in it.

The Pho was also a joke, throwing half an onion doesn't hide the fact that you used like 4 slices of beef, you guys are trying to save cows now huh? Where did the chef learned how to cook? at a Bubble tea parking place next to the homeless people?

Response to the Owner's reply:

Class response from a clown restaurant like yours. It reflects how much of a joke your restaurant is. You're suddenly claiming that you're "eclectic, fusion-inspired" meanwhile it was stated nowhere, not on the menu, not online, nowhere. Just because I called you out you're suddenly pulling stuff out of thin air. "Miss I'm Vietnamese and own the exclusive rights to decide what's Viet and what's not". Wow, this proves that you're such an ignorant owner. Did I claim anything? no. I'm just pointing out that these dishes, especially the Bun bo hue is NOT anywhere near real Viet standard. If you've lived in Vietnam, and grew up there you'd be embarrassed to sell this and claim...

We were cheated by the restaurant name of “Hoai Viet”. It seems like a Vietnamese and Thai restaurant and itself claims so as well, but it’s not true at all. I do understand that this is Germany not south east Asia, some ingredients might be hard to get, but the food should still be somehow tasted a little bit like Vietnamese or Thai food. I ordered Pad Thai, but turns out it was just a very very regular fried Chinese noodles, NOTHING to do with pad Thai and tasted just like the noodles you can get from all you can eat Chinese buffet. And it’s not even rice noodles as it stated on the menu. Extremely...

Great food for a quick Viet/Thai restaurant! Very clean, service was fast, and generous portions. The fried duck you can order as a meat on your dishes was amazing and was the star of the show. The price was great as well.

The Pad Thai was good but less sweet/sour than the American Thai version. We really liked the #6 under the with rice section. It warns very scharf and it is if you eat the...
