căntin vietnamese comfort food — Restaurant in Bern

One of the first things that I should have mentioned is that pho in the USA are between 8-15 dollars. And we had been traveling Europe and had pho in Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France which was up to proper quality for a fair price of 12-14 euros for a far larger portion and with all of the required ingredients to be considered pho. The only thing you provided us was noodles, onions, soup, and the incorrect meat. The reason we said everything was good was because we didn’t want to create any unnecessary confrontation between us because we were more focused on finding some thing that would fill us up. A proper bowl of pho should consist of flat noodles bean sprouts, an array of garnishes Like basil, And the proper Meat which was much thinner than the one you served as well as meatballs. I had to say that if it was a local in our place that had never tried Vietnamese pho cooked by a seasoned Vietnamese chef, or have been to Vietnam his or her self, then the food might be OK to them.

I quickly said yes everything was fine today because I did not want confrontation and we had a train to catch. Maybe rename the meal because I'm sure we are only Americanans that will visit this amazing city. They will have the same expectations of Pho and will equally get disappointed by...

Disclaimer: I've never been in Vietnam and cannot assess how "authentic" this Vietnamese food restaurant in Switzerland is.

We ordered porc dumplings that were extremely good and well filled as appetizers. And the summer bowl with lemongrass beef, which was perfect for a hot summer afternoon. The Vietnamese dressing was extremely well balanced, not dominating and not spicy.

Service was a tad slow, but I don't mind at all if the ingredients are prepared fresh like they did.

I don't give the full 5 stars because the menu is slightly limited. I'll sure come back in autumn to try the Pho soup!

PS. The restaurant inside is just a long shared table, to be considered when...
