Quintooo — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

Our second visit here. The 1st time we visited about a year ago and were blown away by the taste, the service and the interior. This time everything went bad from the very beginning. We asked for a big bottle of still mineral water as a drink. We got an opened bottle filled with tap water. Not something you expect for almost 9EUR. After telling the waiter that we were not sure the water was indeed mineral he apologised and brought a bottle of sparkling water. Surprised again, we then proceeded with the starter and the main. We specifically ordered dishes which were supposed to be full of flavour like lemongrass. Unfortunately, almost no flavour was to be detected. Extremely oversalted simple dishes with loads of soy sauce. For almost 20EUR each. On top of that the atmosphere was gone: the floor was dirty with some rice stuck to the table next to ours and the chairs looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a substantial amount of time. A very big disappointment after such a pleasant first visit. We're not...

If you look for a close to genuine 3rd World experience, this is the right place to go to. The recently hired service personnel doesn't mind a completely drunk or stoned bums sitting around in the outdoor area next to the dining guests, and will bring their friends to sit there, drink alcohol and behave noisily after closing hours late at night, long after the beginning of the night peace. Also the management will not mind mixed garbage left from apparent renovation works to be piled in front of the venue for weeks, ignoring complaints from the neighbors and risking an outbreak of vermin and insect infestation, as well as environmental pollution, apart from creating an eyesore for the local inhabitants. It lets one wonder, if they are OK with dumping garbage in front of the house, what kind of sanitary conditions could be found behind the kitchen's doors... It's very sad that once a nice and well managed venue had gone to the...

I love a place like this! Highly recommend reserving well in advance as the place fills quickly. It seems owner run, which adds to the experience and you can be sure that you get a great service. They are a bit quirky with some creative menu designs and order sheets, as well as the decor. The food is fantastic and they have some nice home made ice tea and lemonade. We tried a number of their starters and mains as well as dessert and all were delicious. Highly recommend the mini pancakes, the bao as well as the Pho and the Crispy Chicken. They cook to order and the food arrives hot and steamy. If just every restaurant could serve with such pride and joy! Few recommendations to the place: play a bit with the ambience especially in the evening try it a bit darker, maybe do some special nights with live music, and have some more wine options and maybe local beer from Vietnam. We look forward to...
