Vietnam Street Food

FOOD DRINKS Let's be honest. Not everything on the menu is a very common street food item in Vietnam. Some dishes are still very westernized and sadly there are still people who pick those over something new and more authentic. As an appetizer I ordered the Cha La Lot. I don't think this is the best version of the dish around Düsseldorf. They also come with a sweet fish sauce instead of a peanut sauce and again they don't grill them over charcoal which would make them so much better but I think they were still ok. For the main dish I had the Mi Van Tanh which is the Vietnamese version of the Chinese wanton noodle soup. The version they serve here is slightly different to what I am used to but not necessarily in a bad way. The soup was savory and flavorful. The wanton had a fishcake like filling. I am more used to minced meat with maybe a piece of shrimp mixed in but it was still good. The noodles were good as well. Still had a bite to them. If there was something to criticize than its the amount of fresh herbs, greens and toppings. A few green onions, a bit of Pak Choi, one tiny shrimp and a small piece of Vietnamese Mortadella does make the bowl a bit soulless. I don't think it's necessary to fill up the bowl to the brink but a bit more wouldn't hurt. There were a lot of noodles in the bowl though. Other than that everything was fine. SERVICE The girls who worked there that evening were super nice, friendly and helpful. I wish that level of service would be the standard for many other restaurants. ATMOSPHERE The decoration of the restaurant has a really nice touch of Vietnam. It tries to imitate an establishment on the streets of Vietnam with the cables on top and the street food cart at the counter. RATING At the end it comes down to your own preference but in my personal opinion the food wasn't the best representation of Vietnamese street food. Don't get me wrong though. I think this restaurant is still worth a try and earned their four stars for a solid performance overall.

My husband and I had lunch at the Vietnam Street Food restaurant today and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We chose our food from their 7.50 EUR menu and everything we ate was terrific. He had the spring rolls, chicken pho, and a beer. I had spring rolls, the crispy duck with vegetables, and a small soft drink. Our total bill was 20 EUR, with a tip. We 've been to Vietnam a couple of times and I 'll have to agree with the other 2 reviewers who found the food to be authentic. Friendly service, good food, and a great price what more can you ask for. We will definitely eat here again during our vacation, and on future visits to Düsseldorf.

Being Vietnamese and completely spoiled growing up in Southern CA and TX in close proximity to so many authentic Vietnamese restaurants, I'm a little bit pickier than the average Vietnamese food enthusiast. It's been difficult to find a tasty and truly authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Düsseldorf, but Vietnam Street Food, fortunately, is one of them. Try the iced coffee and Hanoi noodles and you won't be disappointed! The servers are always welcoming and the decor even looks like Vietnam, which is an added bonus!
