It’s Vietnam in La Carihuela is hands down one of the most magical dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment you step inside, you’re transported to a paradise of color, beauty, and warmth. The decor is simply breathtaking, every detail, from the lush greenery to the intricate lanterns and elegant furnishings, creates an atmosphere that feels both exotic and inviting. It’s easily the prettiest restaurant I’ve seen! Even the decor in the restrooms is fabulous, every inch of this place is picture-perfect.
The staff? Absolutely fabulous. They radiate kindness and hospitality, making you feel like a cherished guest from the very first greeting. Their attentiveness and genuine warmth add to the already wonderful experience. The kindness of the staff is truly spot on!
And then there’s the food, oh, the food! Every dish is a burst of flavor, crafted with fresh ingredients and authentic Vietnamese flair. From the most aromatic pho to the most deliciously fluffy bao, everything is cooked to perfection. The drinks are just as delightful, refreshing, creative, and the perfect complement to the meal.
If I could give this place a thousand stars, I’d do it in a heartbeat. This place didn’t just jump into my number one restaurant in Torremolinos. it’s without a doubt the best Asian restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and visit It’s Vietnam. You’ll fall in love with this place...
Read moreThe best Vietnamese in town. Don't even bother with the competition. Vegans, I recommend that you go for the Heura option, which is like a locally available meat analogue. The fried rice with Heura is very nice. Spanish food can be a lot of fried things at once, so if like me you crave fresh vegetables and spice very often, this place (which has a lovely ambience, friendly waitstaff, and a marvellous view) will be a mainstay in the Torremolinos area. A decidedly queer-friendly, safe, comfortable dining area awaits my "alphabet mafia" family, and a few vegan and vegetarian options are available for those of us who adhere to a plant-based diet. I lived in Vietnam for a year and I know good Vietnamese cuisine when it is presented to me, and this place is the best in the area! My only criticisms would be 1) I always wished they would de-stem their cilantro, and 2) more options for vegetarians! Vietnamese cuisine is one of the friendliest the world over, and that there are basically two or three things on the entire menu for us is a little bit of a letdown. Even so, I recommend this place for people in Torremolinos who are craving a taste of Hanoi or Da Nang. (And yeah, seriously -- the other Vietnamese restaurants in town ... I'm just not going to say another word. No competition whatsoever -- the one near Av. Palma de Mallorca is so bad it's not even...
Read moreWhat a suprise. I have saved this restaurant since before I went to Torremolinos. And I'm a Vietnamese living in Prague, where there are a lot of Vietnamese people and Vietnamese restaurants. But their menu here is very standard & authentic Vietnamese food. Maybe the way of processing is slightly different because it depends on the taste of the local people. At least they don't mix their menu with Chinese or Thai dishes.
Today I ordered 4 dishes including: scallops, Thit xien nuong, Nem nuong Nha Trang and Pho Bo. All dishes are very fresh and flavorful. I like the grilled scallops and Nem nuong the most. But I think this is Nem lui Da Nang, not Nem nuong Nha Trang. The only 2 things I didn't like were that they gave me a bowl of rice with rice at the bottom of the pot and the Pho Bo was not very good (from my pov). They use too much herbs making the Pho broth lose its smell and taste. But like I said, maybe people here love such taste. So I will still come back here. Just don't order it anymore. Also if they develop the menu with more seafood dishes, I think it will be great. This is a coastal city, the seafood is always fresh and the seafood dishes of Vietnam are also very delicious. Another plus point is that the waiters here is very good. They are always welcoming, smiling and very prompt. I will rate this restaurant 5...
