Kiyuu's — Restaurant in Würzburg

Quintessence:

China Wok has Sushi, Chinese and Vietnamese dishes on their menu. Their Vietnamese food is the most authentic Vietnamese food I have ever eaten in a restaurant in Würzburg so far. All my dishes were freshly made and tasted delicious. The waitresses were friendly and polite. Unfortunately I had to wait quite some time to be able to place my order the last time I went there.

In detail:

I have been twice to China Wok so far. The first time I went there, was in the middle of the night around 10 pm on a weekday. There were only few guests at that time. I ordered Pho Ga (Vietnamese chicken noodle soup) and was astounded to get the best Pho Ga I have ever eaten in Würzburg so far. There were bean sprouts, scallions, Thai basil, coriander and self made crispy onions inside my dish and along with my Pho Ga came a lemon wedge. The soup was very flavourful and I ejoyed the texture of the meat.

So what's so different about China Wok's Pho Ga:

other (Vietnamese) restaurants in Würzburg don't put in a lot of herbs. Particularly Thai basil is on if the herbs which lots of restaurants don't use, but instead they put in the much cheaper mint, which does not really belong into Pho Ga.

other Vietnamese restaurants soften their meat. They use chicken breast, but it's not the texture you get when you cook chicken breast.

at least at one other Vietnamese restaurant I had to specifically ask for a lemon wedge.

The second time I went to China Wok it was around 8 pm on a weekday. That time there were heaps of custommers inside the restaurant. When my friends and I had decided for our dishes we still had to wait like half an hour to place our orders, although all waitresses were busy working and not slacking at all. This time I ordered Bun Nem Ga, which is rice vermicellis with grilled chicken, spring rolls, cucumbers, sour carrots, herbs, crushed peanuts and Nước Mắm Chấm (dipping fish sauce). Again the dish was presented nicely, but the dipping fish sauce was not served in an extra bowl. It was already beneath the vermicellis instead. The grilled chicken was a little bit dry.

This time I was a bit disappointed that my friends and I had to wait such a long time to be able to place our orders. Despite being busy the whole evening all waitresses were polite and friendly.

The Vietnamese dishes (Pho Ga, Bun Nem Ga) I have eaten so far at China Wok would have been more authentic if the Thai basil and bean sprouts had been served on a separate plate accompanying the Pho Ga and if there had been various sauces for me to spice up my Pho Ga (e.g. hoisin sauce, chili sauce e.g. Sriracha) and for the Bun Nem Ga the Nước Mắm Chấm (dipping fish sauce) should have been served in a different bowl so the customer can choose how much they want to put in. But then again China Wok doesn't label itself as a Vietnamese restaurant. They have Sushi and Chinese dishes on their...

Waitress sparks english, menu was only in German. The food was tasty. We ordered Soups with Shrimps in coconut milk- it was perfect. The crispy chicken and duck in Sweet and Sour sauce was as well good. Even my daughter of 4y.o. are the chicken and soup. Process are cheap. Dinner for 2+child was 48 euros (soups, to mains, 2 beers). I recommend this place if you want to eat quickly,...

The food here is good but as an Asian restaurant, I asked the waitress if they had cut chillies etc..which she said they didn't have except for the 'pathetic' vinegar chilli on every table. The problem is that the food I ordered tasted really bland so I would have loved to spice it up abit. I think they should at least have the Sriracha Thai chilli sauce...
