Reviews
Authentic flavors and simple yet well prepared food. The best proof that honest cuisine will probably always be the most enjoyable.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, this time was very disappointing. I ordered a pho, and the soup was extremely salty—almost inedible. I told the staff, and they asked what I wanted them to do. I suggested removing part of the broth to dilute it. When it came back, it still tasted exactly the same. I barely ate it. When I spoke to the owner, she offered a €2.50 discount. She explained this was just the German version of pho since Germans like to eat salty food. However, I’ve been to many Asian restaurants in Germany and this was the saltiest pho I’ve ever had. I said I felt the dish should have been removed entirely since it wasn’t fixed, and I hardly ate it. But I got no response for that. In the end, we paid the full price.
Very disappointing kitchen quality and unprofessional handling of customer feedback. I won’t be returning. Just so other customers know, this was my honest personal experience.
We didn’t make a reservation and the restaurant was almost full and fully reserved. Still the staff created a spot for us where we could have diner at ease. We saw this happen a few times when new costumers arrived.
Muhammed, one of the very kind hosts helped us when we ordered a wrong dish, advised us and nothing was too much, even considering a full restaurant with plenty of other people to serve.
The food itself was very nice, great taste and the right amounts.
We can highly recommend Thai-Viet Street Food Imbiss.
We ordered our usual “test lineup”:
Tom Yum Goong ★★★★★
Perfectly spicy-sour balance, lots of plump shrimp, lemongrass and galangal screaming fresh, and that unmistakable fragrant broth. One of the best we’ve ever had in Europe.
Som Tam (Papaya Salad) ★★★★★
Textbook: crunchy green papaya, punchy lime-chili-fish sauce dressing, roasted peanuts, cherry tomatoes, and green beans. Exactly the right amount of heat and funk.
Chicken Satay ★★★★★
Tender, smoky grilled skewers with a gorgeous turmeric glow. The peanut sauce was rich, slightly sweet, and properly thick – you actually wanted to spoon it up when the meat was gone.
Pad Thai ★★★★★
Not too sweet (huge pet peeve avoided), perfect wok hei, bouncy rice noodles, tons of bean sprouts, egg, tofu, shrimp and crushed peanuts. Came with lime and chili flakes on the side – just like in Thailand.
Panang Curry (beef) ★★★★★
Creamy, aromatic, mildly spicy with that distinctive kaffir lime leaf perfume. Tender beef slices and exactly the right amount of coconut milk richness without being heavy.
Portions are very generous – we ordered five dishes for two adults and still took some home. Prices are almost suspiciously fair for Cologne city center: everything together (with two big Singha beers) came to just over €50. For this quality and quantity that’s basically a steal.
Service was fast and super friendly, the place is small and casual (a few tables inside + some outside when weather allows), and everything tastes freshly made – you can see the wok station from most seats.
Verdict: Easily the best Thai-Vietnamese meal we’ve had in Germany so far, and it has now become our official “must revisit every time we’re in Cologne” spot. If you’re anywhere near the Belgian Quarter or the ring road, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed.
Highly recommended!
I was torn between giving a 4 or 5 star review as the food was very good but not great, but just for value for money, ambience, location and the fact that I am already planning to go back there, it gets a 5!
Staff is really nice.
Only thing is the tables for two are too small and the chairs quite uncomfortable, with no space for moving the legs once seated.
