Sai Gon Asian Street Food

One of the two most authentic Vietnamese restaurants/bistros I've found in Stuttgart (possibly in the whole of Germany). There are two separate menus, one written in German and the other in Vietnamese. The former lists typical mixed Asian food you'd get in any of the Chinese/Viet/Thai bistros. The latter, though, offers authentic Vietnamese food (in Vietnamese without translations). I understand why that card was not translated - it's bcs while the listed dishes are well-known to native Vietnamese ppl, not all of those will suit the typical Western palate. The dishes come exactly as you'd get them in Vietnam, without any adaptation to Western style eating habits, e.g. some dishes include offal or shrimp paste - which many are not used to. So I guess they want to avoid bad reviews from ppl who order those dishes without knowing what they're getting themselves into. But if you're the adventurous type or have been to Vietnam before i.e. know the dishes, then go for it! Else, ask for the owner's recommendations. If you do not know Vietnamese, want to try the dishes, but still stay on the safe side - I recommend to order any of the following (non-veg) dishes: Starters: banh gio (steamed rice cake), goi cuon (summer rolls), nem ran (spring rolls). Main: banh cuon (filled rice crepes), bun cha thit nuong (hanoi style rice noodles grilled porc), pho ga/bo (classic pho noodle soup), pho/bun/mien/mi tron (fried pho or glass noodles or mie or rice noodles), banh mi pate (viet baguattes - it's their speciality!), vit quay Bac Kinh (Peking duck). For the adventurous and connaiseurs: bun dau mam tom (rice noodles with tofu inc. offal and shrimp paste), bun bo Hue (Imperial Hue city style rice noodle soup inc. blood sausage, spicy and delish), goi chan ga (chicken feet salad). Dessert: all of the Che (coconut dessert soups) are delish, I esp recommend the versions featuring buoi (pomelo), com non (young green rice), suong sa hat luu (pomegranate), or sau rieng (durian). Drinks: All the Tra are good. The coffee is authentic Vietnamese, but might be too bitter for those not used to it. I esp like the salted cream coffee. Good luck!

We went there after hearing several good reviews from Vietnamese people. The restaurant didnot disappoint us with its tasty and authentic Bun Dau Mam Tom. I would highly recommend to all the Vietnamese gang, who are interested in having taste-like-in-Vietnam food. Appearently there are two versions of menu, one focus mainly on Vietnamese people with Pho, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Dau Mam Tom, Bun cha and che, the other one focus on Western people with Sushi, baked noodles and curry with resonable price. Everyone would find the food they like here.

I have been craving some banh mi for so long so I was very surprised to see a restaurant right by the station that i walk by almost every day selling it. I had to visit the very next day. The atmosphere was very homie, the service was very kind. Their menu is very big and diverse but I was only here for banh mi today tho I hope I can try their other food someday. It was my first time trying banh mi. It had lots of different toppings. Cilantro, pickled veggies, some minced meat and i think some stir fried pork. They added siracha sauce and some black piquant sauce. The bread was some kind of potato bread. Very fluffy and crispy toasted. Very delicious. A little pricy but I would come again.
