Xin Chào Restaurang — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

With so many Vietnamese options in Gothenburg, it’s difficult to stand out. Xin Chào has a charming interior, but the menu presents itself as complicated. High prices, no clear vegan tagging, but your standards are there and in fact vegan. An important note: the oil to deep fry is also used for fish, so vegan Spring rolls will have a fishy taste. This needs to be mentioned by the staff upon ordering.

Apart from that, the presentation is cute, but the food ends up being very tasteless. The Pho is alright, but lacks the signature spices of Vietnamese cuisine and the broth feels more like it belongs to Ramen. Herbs are barely used and the stir fry with tofu is just below average with a sauce that tastes like thickened water with a splash of soy. For a price tag as high as this, I’d say, avoid Xin Chào...

We enjoyed a lovely family dinner with beautiful, affordable food, friendly service and cold beer at Xin Chao. We...

A pretty decent Vietnamese restaurant that serves about the level of food you would expect. The prices are fairly average, the food is fairly average, the service is fairly average. Not too bad, not great either.

If you like Vietnamese food you might as well go here. You probably won't be disappointed. You also probably...
