“ Loved this Vietnamese restaurant The food was fantastic! It can get busy on weekends, so weekdays are best. Highly recommend the Signature Curry Mit Rice with Duck! ”
“ Very good Vietnamese restaurant located near stadtzentrum Jena. The decor and ambience with the paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling is magnificent. They make some lovely cocktails such as the wild berry sour. My favourite dishes here are the five spice crispy duck platter and also the clear chicken soup when I am feeling under the weather. ”
“ Recently edited This is a okay Vietnamese restaurant. The prices are a bit too much for the quality and quantity of the food. The food is really distinct though from other Asian restaurants. Update : the restaurant has improved a lot. Like really a lot. The dishes are now really yummy and the curries are really rich and not watered down. The prices are a bit expensive but competitive enough. The service has improved. Definitely worth regular visits. Try the lychee gimlet ”

“ It was a day trip to Jena to visit a friend. The first thing we did after my arrival was lunch. I ordered a Red Roasted Duck Curry. It was not that red at the end but was spicy enough. I took the special lunch deal which is cheaper than their normal menu and also got an ice tea for free. The food was tasty for me atleast. Num num! The service was friendly and the atmosphere was enjoyable. ”
