Maison Viet — Restaurant in Leipzig

After a walk through the city tonight, we decided to pop in for a light bite — and ended up with the papaya salad and the summer rolls.

Let’s start with the rolls: fresh, vibrant, and satisfying. The menu claimed “four pieces,” but what arrived were two large ones, neatly halved. A classic move, no scandal — still crisp, fresh, and totally recommendable.

The papaya salad with lime dressing? Also fine. Light, decent crunch, but flavor-wise we’ve had more exciting versions elsewhere — this one stayed a bit shy on the fireworks. Still, it did the job.

The decor inside makes you feel like in a far away place and I just loved everything about it! Absolute...

Can recommend, the Drinks (ice tea, water) are top tier. I Love getting my mineral water with some lime and mint. The food is great too, but it's your typical asian restaurant with 100 items on the menu, dont expect culinary revolutions.

About the waiters: it's maybe just cultural differences, the waiters in Asian restaurants are a lot more "low key". I dont want to be overly generalizing, but quite often they are focused on "not disturbing the guest" and staying in the background. Quite often you can finish your meal and drinks but they will not approach you unless you...
