Nón Lá Vietnamese Kitchen Spalenbrunnen — Restaurant in Basel

Nón Lá Vietnamese Kitchen - Nón Lá refers to the hat worn by Vietnamese people to shield from sun and rain.

There is also a location in New York City, East Village.

In Basel, I ordered the Chicken Pho, which was delicious.

Our beef Pho had a well-made broth, good rice flour noodles and excellent vegetables included pristine cilantro. Summer rolls were carefully prepared and the papaya salad refreshing. The duck bun featured crisp stripes of meat, perfectly done. Service is friendly, solicitous, and efficient. A place...
