Bistro Cô Minh — Restaurant in Linköpings kommun

I don’t enjoy rating food places this low but this place doesn’t deserve more then two. The atmosphere was fine if a bit sparse, the music choice was atrocious and too loud for a restaurant. The service was really bad and my table debated on leaving before even ordering because it really felt like they didn’t want to serve us.

The food was really lacklustre, food from Vietnam which from my experience is known for their herbs and spice but what I got was very bland and Swedish-ified. The Cha gio was nice but expensive for what you got (they are not worth 90kr for three rolls). The Banh hoi thit heo quay had no flavour not even when I dumped all of the sauce on it. It was mostly salty with hints of fish sauce. Overall it wasn’t a very pleasurable experience so I will...

This place is strange - they have Pho Bo on the menu but the owner doesn’t want to serve it so it’s never available. This I learnt yesterday from one of the waitresses. Apparently the owner wants it to be on the menu so people ask for it and then steer the choice to alternative soup - which is less laborious! A Vietnamese restaurant without Pho is not a true Vietnamese restaurant at all. Ridiculous behaviour of this place! Food is good though but I’m not going back until Pho is actually...

Location is good in center Linkoping and we took the seats in terrace where heating lights were available in a cozy afternoon. The pho I ordered was quite ok although from my perspective, light in terms of taste, and the shrimp roll was great and tasty, finally for us to find some rolls not fried in similar restaurants. The other main course was not what we expected, perhaps my colleague didn’t have the menu translated properly that led to the presentation...
