Cochinchina

I have been to this restaurants many times now and still really enjoy the great quality of the food. I usually order those big summer rolls with either duck or shrimps that you can prepare (roll) by yourself. Also I fell in love with their tartar as a starter. All in all, their variety of food and drinks is excellent and beyond the usual standard menu. You definitely have to make a reservation as it's always very crowded (which actually speaks for itself). Yet, contrary to what someone else mentioned, they in fact make you aware of the 2h time-slots while you fill in the reservation, which is why this criticism is incomprehensible. They ask you to call them in order to arrange an open-end table. Also someone said he waited 40 minutes for the food and drinks. That never happened to me and I've been there at least 20 times. Food and drinks always came very promptly. Sometimes even too fast for my personal feeling. Now, the ONLY downside for me is the staff. They are all very nice and friendly. However, it makes me and my guests always extremely uncomfortable when they ask for our orders or further requests almost EVERY second. We get the menu and 5 seconds later they approach us and ask for our orders. Sorry guys, but people need their time to make up their choice! Then, while we are eating they permanently ask us whether everything's fine. It's very attentive to question our satisfaction, but the frequency and the way of sneaking behind our backs is a bit creepy, makes us feel uncomfortable and also interrupts our conversations. So just for future notice: I'd wish that the staff stays friendly and attentive but in a rather re-active, passive way ;)
