Like many foreigners, I'm in Frankfurt for a convention in the Messe. Staying at adjacent…read moreMeininger, I yelped nearby dinner options and was so pleased to have dined here. They provide an English menu if you ask--I ordered the lotus root salad since I wanted to try something different than my usual green papaya and I was very pleased by this less familiar version. It still had the same vinaigrette tang, aromatic fish sauce and chopped peanuts, but the long julienned slices of lotus root were a surprise from the flower-like cross-sections that I had expected and very satisfying to munch on. I also ordered the special crispy duck on curried bed of roasted (really, caramelized) vegetables including eggplant, sweet potato, green beans, onions... This came with a heaping bowl of rice. Totally delicious and memorable--the duck was crispy on the outside but not greasy inside. I couldn't tell if the eggplant somehow caramelized by its association with the sweet potato, but it was all so delectable. This was a lot of food for one person even for a gourmand like me. Two German men entered and on my recommendation ordered this same entree and shared it and likewise really enjoyed it. I'm sorry that I hadn't taken any photos but the presentation of the food was well done and well portioned. (I think I might have been served a half small duck in the entree and for only 18 Euros.) It appears to be family run with focus on excellent quality of food and modest decor. To be honest, this beats out the Vietnamese restaurants that I've eaten at in NYC and will remain embedded in my memory and taste

I wasn't entirely sure what I ordered to be honest but I saw the words pork belly and meatballs in the description and was sold. What came was a massive platter - 1 plate filled to the brim with cilantro, rice noodles, basil, carrots, cabbage & lettuce and 1 bowl with the pork belly and meatballs floating in a deliciously flavored broth. The food was extremely tasty. The broth in particular was extremely well made with hints of lemon, ginger and lemongrass. The meat was tender and not over cooked. The only complaint was I would have preferred a bigger bowl! It was difficult to stir the noodles and veggies into the bowl because of its' size. I will definitely be back!

However, the menu was more a thai-vietnamese hybrid with lots of deliciously spiced coconut milk curries. They did have appetizer soups - I proceeded to order the V4 along with the M4 on their lunch menu. The soup (2,50€) was incredible and my favorite part of the meal. I could taste every ingredient individually in a sublimely harmonious blend from each sip. The cilantro, pineapple, shrimp, coconut milk - all present and delicious. The M4 (7€) was the spicy beef w/vegetables and served with a side of rice. Despite being what I thought would be a thai coconut curry, the spices used were unique and different in a great way. It was spicy as advertised and a very comforting meal. I will definitely be back!

My husband and I ventured out for some good Vietnamese food for dinner. We easily found the…read morerestaurant taking public transportation and the hostess was also our server. She was sweet, patient , and spoke English as well as Vietnamese. We sat in the garden area which is in the back of the restaurant. Which was nice because it was quiet and the peaceful. We ordered goi cuon and banh xeo to start, both were freshly made. The goi cuon sauce is made the traditional way on the stove top and it was served warm. The rice paper wrapper was soft, pliable, and didn't crack open anywhere. The filling of fresh mint, bean sprouts, lettuce, pork, and shrimp was pure perfection. We enjoyed it so much we ordered a seconding order. The Banh Xeo was piping hot when it came to the table, I was worried it would be soggy as it looked a bit thicker than I am used to. Boy was I judging a book by its cover, the banh xeo was crunchy and crisp throughout. I do wish it was served with some fresh lettuce to wrap the banh xeo in and dip it into the nuoc mam but I inhaled it without the lettuce. It was filled with fresh bean sprouts, pork, and shrimp. The crepe itself had bits of green onion and had great flavor. The nuoc mam was fresh as it was a light amber color, not too sweet and not to salty with just the right amount of spicy. I highly recommend both of these for starters. Main courses: Bo xao Bun Cha Goi, it arrived to the table in all its deliciousness. Tender pieces of marinated beef with the chewy bun. The fresh veggies added to the lightness of the dish. My husband added some hot sauce but I could have eaten just was it was. Pho Bo was fragrant, broth was light in color( you want that because it means the broth is fresh and cooked properly). I was impress they had tai and brisket in the pho. The bean sprouts, onions, and basil are at the bottom of the bowl so make sure to mix it up before eating it. This bowl of pho was also served with a lime which is the correct citrus to eat with pho and a small dish of chili sauce and the hoisin. I enjoyed my pho down the the last drops of broth which I never do. To send the meal I got a bag of fresh shrimp chips Togo. I do with they had the proper soup spoon for the pho but I think it's normal for restaurants in Germany not to have them so I may have to pack my own. We will be back with the kids and I have a feeling this will be a regular place for us. Thank you for a great food experience.

Where to even start with this one?…read more Unique location, great setting, friendly staff, tasty food, and a bit of fusion makes this quite the find in an area filled with Mediterranean restaurants. This restaurant is best approached on foot, to work up an appetite. Right across the street from a sightly park of greens, this restaurant is very much a sight for sore eyes(and hungry tummies), and very specifically Vietnamese--with some fantastic fusion. The interior was decorated with a lot of vietnamese style decor which immediately reminded me of fancy vietnamese restaurant. Beware the flies--which a traditionally a neighbor to vietnamese restaurants--that are attracted to the strong scents of vietnamese food. Staff was friendly and speak some vietnamese if you are into that. Both my girlfriend and I ordered a beef based dish--mine being a more traditional dish and hers a clever fusion--both ended up being very delicious. I ordered the Bo La Lot(beef wrapped in betel leaves with vermicelli) and the other, a Banh Bao Burger(burger wrapped in traditional vietnamese "buns"). The beef was delicious( even compared to the quality of vietnamese food back in California specifically). The Bo La Lot came only with 4 pieces sadly [priced accordingly] and mostly vermicelli--btw the traditional vietnamese sauce nouc mam is on point(with a decent amount of chili). The banh bao burger had a yummy patty and came with some sweet potato fries and amazing spicy dipping sauce of its own. We also ordered a Banh Bao to go. It was made half of just buns but taste wise did taste like a traditional Banh Bao I'd recommend any newcomers, tourists alike!

"Stäbchen" is no more, so let's welcome "Onkel Lam"…read more They just opened a few days ago and since schools were closed today because of winter storm "Sabine", I decided to take my son here for lunch. We were able to get a table at the window and were handed menus, but after just a minute we were told to pay special attention to the lunch menu options displayed over the counter since they are more affordable. What a nice gesture. :) In the end, we ordered pork dumplings from the regular menu (Nr 9) as well as fried rice with chicken and veggies (Nr T2) and red curry with chicken, veggies and steamed rice (Nr T3) from the lunch menu. The food came out quickly and was well prepared overall. I enjoyed the fried rice dish the most since I felt that the curry dish didn't cook long enough to develop a proper flavor profile. In both dishes, the veggies still had a bite to them and the chicken was well prepared. The dumplings were fine, but didn't wow me since I found them a little bland. The service was super friendly and attentive without being obtrusive though. Overall, I would rate the food at 3.75 stars and the service 4 stars, so we'll definitely be back.
