Came here to eat back in May after a long rainy excursion in the mountains. It was opened later than other places. I was still having stomach issues so didn't really eat on this European trip but the broth gave me life. It tastes pretty authentic for being in the middle of Zurich, or a little bit out. Tastes better than a few places I've had in the states . The lady that was there, I'm sure is the owner, was really sweet. Was so happy us foreigners chose her place to eat our home food. Definitely is expensive, because $25 for a bowl, but the price is the same all over Switzerland. read more

Was staying a a local hotel near the airport and was craving pho so we decided to give this place a try. Hubs and I both shared a shrimp chip appetizer and then each had the chicken pho. Simply delish! The chicken was surprisingly moist, not dry at all. It came with the usual accoutrements, and boy oh boy, the hot peppers they put in their fish sauce were amazingly nuclear hot! Logistics: they have their own parking and contrary to what's in the profile, they do accept credit cards. If we were ever in the area again, we'd most definitely come back. read more

Gosh, who knew that so many stores and restaurants in Zürich would be closed on Sundays? It's worse than Paris! Lucky for us, Dong Que is open daily as we were still able to enjoy a pleasant meal here on a Sunday evening. This spot's located in a residential neighborhood between the airport and Oerlikon. It's easily served from north and south by bus or from the south via tram. It's a neat and tidy restaurant (bathrooms were incredibly clean) with seating for about 20-25 people. The menu is good sized and offers several variations of noodle bowls, pho, and stir fries and rice. I was surprised to also find a page of "Vietnamese Specialties" including banh khot, banh cong, and several variations of banh xeo. As for me, I ordered the banh cuon - super thin sheets of rice noodle wrapped around a ground pork filling. Accompanied by a deep fried mung bean and shrimp fritter, topped with green onions, fried shallots, and fish sauce, and served with fresh and pickled veggies, this meal was an absolute winner, quite possibly even better than what I can get back in the U.S. The menu is in Swiss/German and Vietnamese but we knew enough to figure out what to order. I suppose you could surely ask for help if you needed it. Or use Google Translate! About half of the patrons were Vietnamese and a good chunk of the neighborhood restaurants along this street were Asian. I had no idea that there was much of an Asian community in Zürich. The workers are lovely and might also be curious to know how a tourist found their way to a spot in a non-tourist community. I think it's so cool how Yelp takes me to the most interesting, otherwise unknown places like this place. Anyway, Vietnamese food in Zürich may not be the first thing that comes to mind but this spot is worth a visit, especially when you're sick of cheese, cream, bread and potatoes. read more

About 20 minutes from the city center, Dong Que is off the beaten path. A smaller restaurant and wasn't busy around 9 on a Saturday night. I started with a Saigon Export which is a solid Pilsner. Starter was the spring roll with chicken (#313) & it was tasty with a nice balance of veggies and chicken filling. I wanted to try their Bun Cha Gio and went with beef based on my server's recommendation. Beef was seasoned just right and the spring rolls went well the noodles and salad. My server was friendly and helpful at the start but didn't come back after the food started to be served. Overall, follows food pricing in Zurich at $28 USD for starter & entree. That said, seems to be a solid choice for Vietnamese in the area. read more

During one of our nights in Zurich, we were feeling in the mood for some Asian cuisine since we had just eaten 2-3 nights of straight Swiss food (fondue, veal, etc.). My husband found this place on yelp and we walked here from our hotel. It wasn't crowded when we arrived, and ordered our food. Service was quite slow, they only had 1 waitress at the time, and she was helping everyone w/ their orders. We got the following: 1) pho regular - this was decent; broth was good! 2) pho bun bo hue - husband ordered this and he said it was good 3) spring rolls - legit 4) fried rolls - yum! 5) wonton soup - good too Eating out at restaurants in Switzerland is super expensive! I would never pay more than $10 for a bowl of pho in the United States, but here -- I can't believe they are 18-22 swiss francs (which is equivalent to $18-$22 for a bowl of pho)!!! It blows my mind. I don't know how the Swiss people afford eating out! Thank goodness this place is relatively authentic in terms of the Vietnamese food served here. While it doesn't really compare to the Vietnamese food in Orange County or Los Angeles (California), it's great for being in Zurich! It was food for the soul and the weary traveler. :) read more

Very good and authentic Vietnamese food. They also have Thai choices so all in one great menu choices. In the center of Zurich-Seebach, away from city center. Prices are very reasonable and staff is always nice and friendly. They do a lot of "to-go" food so usually not a hassle to find a table read more

I know. I know. Why look for a good Vietnamese restaurant in Zurich? Well, it's a thing for us whenever we visit any city to check how cosmopolitan the city is. We had high expectations of Dong Que given that the prices are on the higher end. Regretfully, Dong Que failed on a number of counts: authenticity, portion, and variety. They tried to compensate with good service but sadly that ain't enough. read more

Finally we stumbled upon this haven of a Vietnamese restaurant on our last night in Switzerland. The bun bo hue was delicious, lots of flavor. It could have been spicier but it was still quite good. At least it contained my favorite thing about the soup...pigs blood! Price was expensive ($20ish) but this is Switzerland of course. It sure does make me appreciate the $7-8 bowls of Vietnamese soups I get in America. We were craving our comfort Asian cuisine and this most definitely satisfied it. read more

Dong Que - Bun bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Zürich, ZH

I always eat Vietnamese when I travel because: (1) I love it and (2) it's inexpensive. I am also spoiled for good Vietnamese having lived in Vancouver, Toronto and Los Angeles. I had the beef "bun" with egg rolls... I have to say, this place rivals those back home. Price is of course double, but this is Zürich. Highly recommend after a week of cheese and rosti. Only omission: Siracha sauce! read more

Open since oct 2013, it is a rather laid back restaurant located right at tram stop of no. 14. I had ban coung which were arranged lovely with fresh vegetables on the side and a really delicious fried cake. Fried rice was good, too. But needed some TLC (fish sauce and chilis) to flavour it. Lovely hosts. Vietnamese coffee was really good. I'm always psyched when I can get that sweet treat. Of course Pho soup is available too. And they have that good mango juice (the only canned mango juice I like, it's in a blue can). Singha beer was available too, so were other juices. read more

Honestly blown away to find better Vietnamese food then what I get at home. This place is a gem! Affordable (for Zürich), great flavor and high quality ingredients. This place was probably the best food we had during our entire stay in Zurich, and we went hunting for great places. read more

A really nice and tasty restaurant. Love it! The food tastes really good. I was having the Tom yum soup which was very nice and everyone in our group liked his dish. read more

I really enjoy getting take out at this restaurant. Usually not busy at all and seated by myself at most times so I just take it to go. HOWEVER, the staff is friendly. At least the one waitress in the restaurant is a nice girl. The food comes out fast and usually have my order done within 10-15 min max. Which is perfect if you just wanna get home after a long day. Expensive, prices are a bit high for the amount you get but still good to visit once in a (long) while. read more

Great and good price point. Like the ginger and beer. Noodles were really good. Friendly staff.
