ENGLISH: The Bety in Winsen Luhe is a small diamond in the rough in the relatively limited culinary variety of the small town on the outskirts of Hamburg. Four of us have been there twice for dinner and lunch and were very pleasantly surprised both times. There are a few small things that could be improved, but the service and quality of the food are good to excellent. We tried the sushi first, but unfortunately we have to make a few compromises here, because although the presentation with dry ice steam and "staged" plates is visually quite funny, we would have preferred to see the ambition in the sushi itself. The sushi portions (especially the size of the rolls) should be a bit more generous and, above all, juicier. The noori leaves in particular were unfortunately quite dry and therefore drew the juice out of the rice, which is a shame. But because this is a Vietnamese restaurant and not a sushi bar, we rate the sushi offering more as a kind of additional gag or gap filler. We found the dishes with glass noodles and the various offerings with Thai curry, rice and vegetables to be perfectly delicious. You can choose between tofu, shrimp, chicken or duck. The latter was tender and crispy, as it should be. The various sauces are exactly to our taste, not too salty but clearly umami, so very authentic and tasty. The selection of drinks is good and sufficient, the children particularly liked the delicious spritzers made from fresh juices. The service was quick and attentive despite the restaurant being very busy. The prices are OK for the quality offered, juice drinks are perhaps a little on the expensive side, but still within acceptable limits. At the moment (1/2025) only cash and PayPal Friends(!) are accepted as payment methods, which didn't bother us much, but the card payment option is actually standard for a well-rounded restaurant concept, which we think should be added. Picking up ordered food is possible, but there is no delivery service (yet). A word about the ambience: tastefully decorated bistro with lighting accents and lots of wood, in the style of a Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately, the toilets are on the first floor, so not wheelchair accessible. read more
