We were overnight in Hannover and had to satiate our asian food cravings before returning to…read moreBavaria. After briefly combing Yelp for helpful reviews to make our decision, we came across Pho3mien; we were pretty sold based on the photos that others have taken of this place.
In terms of location, the restaurant is located north of what one would consider the city center. It's a bit in the cuts, but definitely worth the walk. Whilst traveling on foot, I did not notice any parking garages/lots and only street parking for this restaurant. I also seem to recall that it was a one way street. So if you would want to come here, I suggest parking in the parking garage about 4 blocks away (if you're driving) and then walking the rest of the way. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, with both indoor and outdoor seating.
Despite how the pictures looked, my expectations were still rather low. It is really a pan-Asian restaurant - the menu offered Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai cuisines. They also dabbled in dim sum.
We came here for the Vietnamese food and that's exactly what we got. Compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in Germany, Pho3mien rates amongst the top 10.
The variety that is found here is like none other that I've seen in other restaurants. Example, Pho Bo is usually the only pho variation served in Germany (some restaurants may offer Pho Ga). At Pho3mien, you can also find, Pho Tai (medium cooked meat), Pho Dac Biet (special), and Bun Bo Hue in terms of the soup noodle category. They also have coi guon, banh xeo, com bo luc lac, and vermicelli bowls as well.
Tip: Che 7 Mau. My Asians will know this drink. Only restaurant I've found in Germany that serves this. The only other asian drink that will probably beat this is Boba (we have yet to find one of those).
The food quality exceeded my expectations and it was a delight to dine here. Would definitely come here again if I'm stopping in Hanover.
