Miss Saigon - Düsseldorf

I really wanted to like this place. It's a reasonably priced fast-casual concept where you order up front for to-go or eating in. It also seems to be run by a Vietnamese family. Unfortunately the food didn't hold up for me. I ordered Bun Bo Xao, a rice noodle salad with beef, peanuts, carrots, onions cilantro for 6.50 Euro, and a Vietnamese iced coffee for 3 Euro. The salad seemed fresh in the picture, but in real-life it looked a bit tired. The beef flavor was good, but the lukewarm noodles and wilted lettuce less so. It's a tiny bit better than what you'd find at a mall food court. I would've given this place 3 stars, but the Vietnamese iced coffee alone knocks off a star. I watched them make it and it's just regular push-button machine coffee, a big spoonful of instant sweetener/flavor, and regular milk. I know Germany has condensed milk so I'm not sure why this isn't used. The coffee tasted so artificially sweet that I couldn't finish it. : It's edible for a fast lunch if you're running low on options. Maybe their other stuff is better they have banh mi, pho curries) but I don't think I'll be back to try.

Good vietnamese food! Great tasty baguette, very nice summer roles with a tasty sauce.

I really wanted to like this place. it is a cheap fast-casual concept in which they order for to-go or eat at the front. it seems to be over.
