Restaurant Hà Nội — Restaurant in Leipzig

We picked this centrally located spot in Leipzig for a casual dinner — and let’s just say, we left rather pleased with ourselves for making the right call.

The avocado sushi rolls were a refreshing twist: rolled with brown rice instead of the usual sushi rice, which gave them a slightly nuttier depth. The dim sum offered variety in filling, though flavor-wise they leaned a little too similar to one another — not a dealbreaker, but a note for the curious palate.

The main courses, though? Absolutely hit the mark. The Udon noodles in mango curry with shrimp were a joy — vibrant, well-balanced, and the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to smile at your plate. The tofu with vegetable sauce and rice was equally satisfying — nothing wild, but very solid in execution.

We closed with some classic sesame balls, warm and gooey on the inside, gently crisped outside — a sweet little ending.

The vibe is what you’d expect from a Vietnamese spot that knows what it’s doing: bamboo and warm lighting, without trying too hard. Service was friendly, relaxed, and responsive — exactly the pace you want after a long day. And yes, the prices? Very fair....

Waited a good 30min for a small bowl of fried rice, tasted bland and wasn't really any special except for like 3 shrimps. Paid 13,50€ (which is too much considering the portion and ingredients) and my friend had beef pho which tasted like nothing the beef was very chewy. I also hated the eating utensils, the chopsticks were uncomfortable to hold and the spoon, fork and knife were very top-heavy.

Spent another 10min to finally pay. It wasn't even a busy day. Also no music or anything in the restaurant. Just some dude watching a meme compilation with the phone speaker.

So yeah. Uhm... never...

Worst place to have lunch at, terrible service no one was there to take orders for 20 minutes even though the place nearly empty, the waiter acts if he is forced to be here, throws the food plate on the table and ignores the guy next to me when he asked for Soya sauce!! the food was good but overpriced! I asked for a glass of tap water with my food, the said they don’t have tap water which is funny I guess they don’t wash hands!! They proceeded to give me clearly tab water not a bottle!! Serviced in a „pepsi“ glass and charged me 4 euro for it!...
