Breitengrad 17 Stuttgart — Restaurant in Stuttgart

I reserved a table for 16 for my bday, as I did not want to go to a brauhaus nor did I find anything else. Honestly I have been here 8 years ago when they were located elsewhere and wasn’t impressed, so I did not expect much.

When we arrived, one of my friends told me her nail technician recommended this place to her, as they have good Vietnamese food. Unfortunately the only authentic part of this restaurant are the names of the dishes on the menu. I have been to Vietnam last year and this is not even remotely Vietnamese. The pho was very disappointing, I was also served a lemon instead of lime. Why metal chopsticks? I was not eating hot pot nor was it a Korean restaurant. My other friend got the Bánh Xèo and normally you cut it up and put it in salad and roll it and dip it in fish sauce with lime and chili’s. The salad provided was a leaf as decoration and the sauce was about a tablespoon amount.

For dessert I ordered sticky rice with mango and really hoped they couldn’t mess it up. I was wrong. It tasted like they made it in the microwave instead of actually steaming the sticky rice. Also they threw in some sesame seeds and salted peanuts on top. Why would you add salted peanuts to a dessert?

The prices are pretty high for Stuttgart and it it’s the even Vietnamese. The staff also provided us food but some friends did not even have silverware.

The drinks and ambience are nice but all in all, I would not come here...

Average food but incredibly bad service. I, alongwith my wife and daughter visited this place. I asked for a high chair for my daughter but they informed me that they only have one and that it was already being used. We found it a bit odd that a restaurant of this size just had one high chair but shrugged it off. The server was a bit standoffish from the start but we did not take it too seriously. The food was quite delayed. Tasted ok. Then I asked for the bill. By ask, I mean I did the universally accepted hand gesture when he was walking by. This was also the first time I was asking for the bill. In response, the guy literally shouted at the top of his voice " SHOULD I SET THESE DRINKS ON THE GROUND AND COME RUNNING?". We were so shocked we could not even respond. Later when he came, I asked what was that about and he gave a half hearted apology and just walked off. I understand people can have bad days and that service is very stressful. But shouting and humiliating a customer who asked for a bill the first time in the most common and polite way is horrendous behaviour. I personally will never visit this place again and also do not recommend...

So I don't think everything needs to be traditional. Fusion or modern versions are fine as well. But not like that. My bun tofu was weird. The tofu was kinda like a katsu, but good, soft inside, crunchy outside. The spring rolls fine as well but probably pre-made. The rest was confusing to say the last. It came with kimchi, however such little qualities of kimchi that the question raises why it's in the bowl at all. Furthermore there was peanut sauce in my bun... Mh okay. Also we can't forget the arugula that was in that bowl, combined with the traditional mint. Please commit to either one of those things both together does not work well in my opinion. Also why red cabbage? If you add either one of those things as a little twist all right with me, but why all together? It seems like the person who created this dish did not think about how flavors should work together. It feels like the components are working against each other...
