"Ich habe nur den Imbiss besuchen können, da das Restaurant noch geschlossen hatte. Ich bewerte hier also lediglich den Imbiss mit seinem Essen.Der erste Eindruck war sehr schlecht. Schmutziges Geschirr stapelte sich gegenüber des Eingangs. Dennoch habe ich meine Bestellung bei einem freundlichen MItarbeiter aufgegeben. Zur Erklärung: Ich liebe arabisches Essen...syrisch, persisch, ägyptisch und sehr gerne libanesisch. Deshalb habe ich auch eine meiner liebsten Speisen bestellt, und zwar: Linsensuppe zum Sofort-Verzehr, Tabouleh und Kibbeh zum MItnehmen.Während meine Speisen zubereitet wurden, habe ich mir schon mal einen Platz suchen wollen. Es war allerdings völlig unmöglich, einen sauberen Tisch zu finden. Ich habe dann einen halbwegs akzeptablen Platz an der Wandtheke mit einem Hocker gefunden. Trotzdem nicht sehr vertrauenserweckend. Als meine Suppe fertig war, dann die nächste Enttäuschung. Abgesehen davon, dass sie nicht, wie üblich, püriert war, schmeckte sie nach nichts. Lediglich dunkle Linsen, statt roter, schwammen gemeinsamen mit zwei Scheiben Möhren in Wasser(?). Auch die beigelegte Zitrone, die einer arabischen Linsensuppe sonst immer den letzten Pfiff gibt, konnte daran nichts ändern. Nach zwei Löffeln habe ich aufgegeben und nur das Brot gegessen.Als die anderen Speisen verpackt waren und ich bezahlen wollte, habe ich dem Mitarbeiter natürlich gesagt, wie schlecht die Suppe gewesen sei. Netterweise wurde sie dann nicht berechnet.Ich habe mich dennoch unglaublich geärgert, da ich nur sehr selten in Düsseldorf bin und ansonsten kaum eine Gelegenheit habe, die arabische Küche zu genießen. Nachdem ich den Straßen-Parkplatz ( ich habe übrigens keine anderen Parkmöglichkeiten entdecken können ) verlassen hatte, sah ich etwas später einen Imbisswagen des Restaurants Beirut ( aus der Altstadt ) auf einem kleinen Platz stehen, dessen Namen mir jedoch unbekannt ist. Sehr schade. Deren Küche habe ich früher schon häufiger genießen können...wenn ich das gewusst hätte.Zuhause stand meinem Mann und mir später noch das andere Essen bevor. Was ich auf jeden Fall sagen kann, ist, dass die Kibbeh einwandfrei supergut geschmeckt haben. Hätte ich mal mehr davon genommen, denn das Tabouleh war absolut daneben. Es bestand hauptsächlich aus Petersilie. Weizenschrot, also Bulgur oder Couscous, fehlten gänzlich. Kommentar meines Gatten: Immerhin ist es sauer. Ja, es war viel Zitrone drin.Nein, ich kann diesen Imbiss leider überhaupt nicht emphehlen."

"if I have learned one here, then that we are much too hectic and should see everything a little more relaxed. However, this has not been able to deceive that my man and I were on a Sunday evening at 19:30 clock, the only guests were with the exception of an older lady.The discs of the restaurant could quite put a flap and the seat cushions of the chairs were probably never washed. on the toilet dissolved in the smallest touch of the water tap - and so I could continue endlessly with my litanei.We had to wait a long time for the chef and at the same time probably also the service that the house has moved to our table to pick up the order. I can't say anything negative about my eating, only a little more consultation I would have wished, as we were already very indecision and did not know what to take. we were the first to eat Ethiopian. my court was very well seasoned and tasty. the eating of my man, on the other hand, a little overwheated or burned and the lack of cleanliness took a little the appetit - our thoughts were constantly agitated about how it was ordered with the cleanliness in the kitchen. But I don't want to think about it anymore. We were served nicely for the coffee to the end, with a piece of glowing coal on which we had to burn down until we got our coffee in. commentary: "There is no coffee to go here." I found this very funny and you noticed that we have a considerable problem with getting everything in peace. You could really make something of it here.In particular, you have to praise the friendliness of the chef."

"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."
