Amazing place. Best food hands down. Went for dinner and had vegan Thai curry and rice. Also ordered spring rolls. Both of the dishes were outstanding. The cost per plate is slightly on a higher side but the taste makes up for it.

I would recommend booking the table but you can call them and check before walking in. Service is good and fast. I liked the ambience of the place too.

A place for food you'd love to eat. They have many different flavors and combinations. As an avid Pho lover, I have to say well done. Combination of spices was just right.

It's hard to have a restaurant that is modern with a classical feel. My Dad Made does it though. It seems hip and modern with traditional seating and classical decorations of a cool restaurant.

Service is very quick and attentive. Food was good. Nice place.

For such a place a few more drinks and a little pricey for lunch.

All in all very sturdy and a restaurant to visit.

My go-to-place for deliciously fresh, scratch-made Vietnamese food in Essen. So happy they made it through the lockdowns, and also leveled up the interior and size of the eatery! It’s also one of the most friendliest services in town; they’re always up for a quick chat and laugh, and make everything possible - even a summer roll with prawns though not on the regular menu. It’s true heartfelt hospitality!

Certainly a place to go when I miss authentic Vietnamese dishes in Essen city. Highly recommended Pho Bo.
Should book a table before coming as it is hardly to find an empty table here.

I came tonight in that restaurant where i use to come. They did lots of changements and become bigger. We had to wait 2hours for the food. The meat was cold. And no flavour. Ashame

FOOD u0026 DRINKS
If you look closely at the menu, the selection of real classic Vietnamese items is very limited and unfortunately they don't offer any authentic Vietnamese dessert.
I ordered Bún chả which in its basic form is grilled pork with rice noodles and herbs. The way they arranged the dish was really nice. Looks modern, clean and pretty. The additions of the veggies is weird for someone with Vietnamese origin. To me it would have been more authentic and true if they just served grill meat (over charcoal), tons of herbs and rice noodles. The stir fried veggies gave it that western touch.
In my opinion the chả was a bit dry and did not start any kind of flavor explosions. Everything was okay and good if you just want a decent meal.

SERVICE
The staff was nice and friendly. Especially the girls. They were quick in reacting to our wishes and just did a good job.

ATMOSPHERE
I think this is what their regular customers want and why they like this place. A modern and fresh look. Everything looks clean and cozy.

RATING
To me I would have given this restaurant three stars because the food looks pretty but just taste ordinary. Objectively I had to give them four stars because what they do is solid and the service left no space for any complaints.

Order in advance! If not you can actually arrive and have no chance to sit down. Takeaway still possible though. The food: excellent, worth every penny. Prices: not cheap and not robbery grade. Expect 10 EUR per main entry, large portions. Verdict: a must
