I found this place a few weeks ago when I was by myself. At that time I only ordered and appetizer and a soup. I had the imperial rolls with meats and the bun bo hue, a soup somewhat similar to pho but which is usually served with spaghetti-type noodles. Here, however, they seemed to be flat rice noodles. The broth was decent with the tissue condiments other than the sauce already in. I have to ask for lime which the owner quickly brought with the comment that that is how they eat it at home. The imperial rolls were better than most I've had in Germany, but they didn't quite measure up to those in the Bay area or even in Paris.
Last night on the way back from my parents in the Spessart, we took the scenic country route rather than the Autobahn. This took us through Neustadt, so we decided to stop for dinner. Since there were five of us, we could order a few more things. Our nephew's son wanted a chicken soup, so we got the one with glass noodles. A tasted similar to a Chinese broth. The chicken salad tasted traditional with cabbage and crushed peanuts. We also ordered imperial rolls with shrimp and pork as well as the soft Spring rolls. The latter were especially delicious and served with the Hoisin type sauce. We ordered three main dishes of which the duck on the iron platter with a ginger-hoisin sauce was everyone's favorite. We also had a lemon grass pork dish and a beef dish in brown sauce. Both of those tended to taste slightly more Chinese than Vietnamese.
Despite the restaurant being fairly busy and they're being really only one waitress plus the owner who doubled as bartender, service was good. The atmospheres pleasant and at the end we all got a little shot class of plum wine. We would definitely return. read more
