Great location by water and in city center. Serves Vietnamese food.  Very hospitable staff and greets with great smiles. Food portion is quite large and few but good vegetarian options. Taste was very good and quality is good compared to the price. Not a typical touristic trap and definitely recommend the place.

I sat outside on a cool overcast day. An under umbrella heater kept me warm. I was trying to make a quick stop for lunch to keep my tram trip within 90 minutes. This was a few steps from a tram station.

I was seated immediately. The host was polite and accommodating. The table and chairs were clean and a blanket was provided.

I had a Báhn Mí sandwich and Spring Rolls from the starter menu. I don't speak Vietnamese or Swedish but the menu was easy for me to figure out and the waiter understood my English well enough.

I accidentally found out this restaurant. The waitress is very friendly and careful. The food is in real big portion, and the taste is very flavorful. The drink is amazing. As a Vietnamese, I can say that the taste of the dishes here is original. I have had such a great time with my sister here. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Restaurant with a good view over the river, cozy decoration and kind staff. The food was tasty and had good presentation and portion. The only negativame was that "ångkoktbanan" was not available for dessert. It woul be also better if the menu had pictures, because a saw many interesting dishes I would like to test.

We stopped at this place for brunch after taking a cruise around Gothenburg. We stopped here because of the delicious smell  coming from their kitchen. The smell was powerful and made us very hungry.

Like most places in Sweden ordering was not an issue because many people in Sweden are proficient in English (I’m American and I can only speak English). We were seated extremely fast which was great.

The food was enjoyable. The portion sizes were very generous. A single appetizer is enough to share between two people. We ordered three appetizers between the four of us and everything was delicious.

I had the apple martini they make it a little different than what I am use to, here they use a sour mix so it was more like a sour apple martini.

This is a great spot to sit and have lunch during a day out exploring the city.

The food is delicious, the drinks and the location is great!
