Needed some veggies and really missing Asian food traveling in Spain (there's only so much bread, meat, & patata bravas I can eat) Also mending an ill stomach, I was excited to find this restaurant close to La Sagrada Familia. Turns out the owner is Cantonese-Chinese (possibly by way of Vietnam?), he wasn't entirely talkative, but this explains is culinary attention to flavor and quality of ingredients (knowing Cantonese techniques - but this actually explains how the actual food is- more about that below). Most of his extremely nice waitstaff were Nepali. Everyone communicated very well in Spanish & English. They seemed to have a lot of regular customers, some even hugging the who I assumed was the General Manager. I was craving a refreshing cold noodle salad and crunchy vegetables, the €9.50 Bun Bo Xao sounded great. It had rice noodles, lettuce, cucumber, fresh mint, topped with fried onions & peanut. I ordered the beef version. A small Vegetable triangle Spring Roll was complimentary at the beginning of the meal. The bowl was generously filled with all the fresh ingredients. What's different than how I've had this dish in NYC and LA (& I assume dishes are tweaked for the Spanish palette and style here), was that the lemongrass beef was stir-fried with a light gravy sauce (and not grilled and dry/nom-sauce), and the noodles were warm and tossed in the sauce also. The noodles were Mei Fun (rice vermicelli) and not the round spaghetti-like noodles that's usually used for the dish. There's usually Nuoc Cham sauce that comes with this dish, which you pour the "Nuoc Cham dressing" over everything & toss. However, since the noodles were already covered in the gravy sauce from the beef (with a pool at the bottom), it wouldn't have made sense anyway. Overall I was super happy to have noodles and food that tasted good. I saw a lot of tables order the same sauteed Lemongrass beef as a side dish. So- HOW do I know that this more Chinese than Vietnamese? The gravy-like sauces for the meats (& not primarily grilled meats and seafood), No typical condiments and ingredients like Nuoc Cham, pickled carrots & daikon, Siracha, Hoisin Sauce, & garlic chili set out at the table to customize the Pho. And no typical Vietnamese noodles (sounds like the other reviews about the Pho). I wonder if they have Vietnamese coffee...they can do Flan! A good bridge for cultures. Overall they have to cater to a predominantly Spanish Clientele to survive - basically ALL of the tables were eating Fried Rice (which looked like fast-food style, and a dish I actually haven't seen much at Vietnamese Restaurants). The restaurant is decorated very beautifully- BUT all of the ceiling tile work, wooden bar carvings of dragons- are decorations for a Chinese Restaurant (speaking from family experience business!). Overall, it's 4 stars & a decent experience for me- being what it is. I would come lowering your expectations- it's more like Chinese-light leaning Vietnamese Food. The staff did say that the owner is very secretive about his Pho recipe (I really hope that it's not from a boullion & spice powder mix). Will have to try it the next time I visit I guess - BUT knowing that they don't give you a plate of fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedge, possibly some jalepenos - then I probably won't like my Pho (light & safe) experience.. & I get it, How do you train customers to prepare a bowl of Pho at their tables, without high overhead costs? Too much of a learning & communication curve. But good luck to them, good to have options in that neighborhood & Barcelona in general. Ran into some of the workers on their 3hr break later and they kindly showed me to the Metro. I want to note the Spanish translation of cucumber is so interesting - "papaya green." read more

We were craving for Pho so we decided to go Vietnamese. Found this close to our hostel. We orders the Menu 3 which was good for 3 people. The foods came in one by one which is a nice touch. The appetizers were really good. The place was clean, the service was great. The only thing is the Pho, is not the Hanoi Pho that we always had. But still good. read more

A wonderfully vegetarian (and vegan) friendly restaurant less than 10 minutes from La Sagrada de Familia. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the menu is expansive, with notes as to what can be made vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free. I ordered the vegetable fried rice and they were able to customize it to my liking (no eggs and no mushrooms). The food came out quickly and tasted exactly as I imagined it. I'm a fan! For non-Spanish speakers, the menu has English translations and the staffs speaks a proficient amount of English. For native Hindi speakers, a handful of the staff also speaks Hindi. read more

Stopped here quickly since we were craving pho and it didn't disappoint. Service was good, pork dumplings were tasty and the pho was good. Prices were decent and they give you a free appetizer which was a nice touch. I would come back to try other dishes. read more

Tried their beef pho, spring rolls and lychee sorbet. The pho and spring rolls hit the spot, very flavorful and perfect for a rainy day. The Lychee sorbet was a little too sweet. Servers were very nice and it was quiet and nice when I went around opening time read more

The Com Viet was pretty delicious. The dish was light for a rice dish. There wasn't much xia siu pork as it was cut up pretty small. That was probably the most disappointing from my dish (hence the 4 stars). The ambience in the restaurant was casual. Decor is really nice for a Vietnamese restaurant compare to what we have in the States. I would recommend this place to a friend. P.S. It seems they have workers here that speak Spanish, Vietnamese and English. read more

This place is not very authentic. I had the Thit Heo Kho (carmelized pork) it was not what I was expecting. They served the pork on the rice and the sauce was very very thick neither of which is common. Pho didnt come with a plate garnishes like you would be used to(bean sprouts, basil, cilantro) only lime. All the food was ok, environment was just eh. Overall just an alright experience. It could pass if you are craving vietfood, just barely though. read more

It was getting late and I was trying to find some place to order take out from. So happened there was a vietnamese place across the street,. They have one of my favorite things to eat pho. I ordered the pho bo. Very good and it did hit the spot after a night out. read more

This is indeed the worst restaurant I've ever been to in Barcelona. When I sat down, I was immediately treated really poorly. When the food was served, the guy literally just drops it on the table as if I were a dog. Also the way he talks to us was rude. Guess what? That person was the owner himself! The food was overpriced with a not so great taste. We never had any issues with other Vietnamese restaurants in Spain, this one was indeed the worst. I wish I could give this zero stars, but I'm generous to give this restaurant ONE STAR. read more

I wish I can give 0 stars cause I would not recommend this place. As soon as I sat down, I did not feel welcome here. The service was terrible and the food was not so great. read more

Wherever we go my husband always has to find a Vietnamese restaurant to get a bowl of pho, and I admit sometimes you just have to eat something else other than local food. This was a great find in Barcelona. The location was easyy to find a few blocks away from the la sagrada. The service was good our waiter was Filipino so my mom actually had a conversation with him. They have this combo menu which I ordered and I chose beef pho and a steam chicken with ginger and chives, my husband and sister got large size beef pho and pork Ben as an appetizer, my mom a combo of chicken pho and cuttle fish with ginger and veggies and my broinlaw had this chicken dish with curry sauce I think (sorry didn't get a taste I was so full) They also gave us a appetizer tapa for ordering and it was this triangle shape fried veggie spring roll, it was room temp but still tasty. So when my mom and I ordered the combo, we thought we'll have like a small bowl of soup then our entree. It turned out that the portion of the bowl was bigger than we thought, it looked like their small size portion of the soup. The broth had a good flavor, the veggies we're already in there but no bean sprouts, and the noodle was a bit thicker than what I'm use to but it hit the spot. Our waiter then came with my mom and I entree and it was also a good portion was able to share, it came with this combination fried rice with shrimp, bbq pork, and ham. The only thing we noticed was my broinlaw didn't get rice with his meal. Or maybe the rice was for 3 to share? regardless he doesn't eat beef or pork so he wasn't able to share the rice with us. His dish was saucy so his should have came with white rice. Even with the minor hiccups, its 5 star rating because everything was so good, and we were happy with the service. If we find ourselves in Barcelona again we will surely be back. read more

I honestly wish the quality of the food was enough to save my review of this place. But alas- that was also mediocre with zero vegetarian pho options (the broth is beef, do not let them tell you otherwise.) I made it abundantly clear throughout the ordering process that I was allergic to peanuts and they still brought me a sauce with peanuts in it, which I ate because it did not look like the traditional peanut sauce. I've had a rash for 48 hours now after being diligent in voicing my allergy, in perfect Spanish too. ON TOP OF THAT the waiter we had would touch me after EVERYTHING he said, make jokes about my allergy, and at one point tried to be funny and tap on my phone while I was typing. I was almost willing to laugh it off before he reached over my shoulder to touch my phone. He then proceeded to ask me and my friend a bunch of questions, clearly trying to flirt when we were visibly done with his shit. This place is wack read more

Really wanted some pho since my stomach was not feeling well ... I'll have to say their pho is equivalent to cup noodle. Their noodles were plastic-y and broth was very plain. Of course I wouldn't expect Spain to have amazing pho, but I did expect a little better than what we got. It's enough to get you by when you have Asian food cravings. read more

Definitely the best Vietnamese restaurant in Barcelona! And the most authentic one! Even the owner is from Vietnam. The restaurant is maybe a little bit expensive but not so much, and the interior is very nice, tasteful, classy and cool. The service is just perfect! And the food is... very delicious! They have some great sets convenient if you want to try more different options of the rich Vietnamese cusine. And also classics like Nem rán, Nem cun, Ph bò and many many others. The wine list is great but you can also try Vietnamese beer here. Highly recommended! read more

I was craving my viet food and always love to try pho in different countries. I was on a mission to find this place and check it out. The food was on point and very authentic. The owner is Vietnamese too! The large pho bowl was ideal portion size for one person- (in the U.S. A large is enough to share between 2 people). The owner was so nice. The restaurant was very clean. Relaxing atmosphere. The decor was nice and not tacky. It's actually pretty close to Sagrada. Would come back here again. read more

Went for lunch and we had the 1 person special. It was a fair amount of food for a good price. The tempura vegetables were nice and crunchy and the vermicelli noodle salad hit the spot, especially after I added a little chili oil. read more

Not suitable for vegans. Hardly suitable for vegetarians. No tofu, no vegan protein to speak of besides a few scattered soy beans & bean sprouts. Other than that, a lovely place. Nice decor, presentation. Food was quite good. read more

You probably won't get a more authentic pho in barcelona.. in New York - yes.. in Melbourne? Definitely ... but in Bcn this will be the closest . Not for the pho experts but if you long for Vietnamese in Bcn I guess go here. Quite salty but also nicely aromatic and has everything you would expect in it. Quick and nice service. read more

We enjoyed our dinner here. It was a nice break from tapas. Plenty of vegies and delicious soup. We had the fresh rolls and rice rolls as starters and I had beef pho as an entrée. The starters were refreshing and freshly-made. The pho was of northern-vietnamese style, very savory and the beef was well-cooked. Even though the portions are on the smaller side, we are pleased with our dinner and recommend it if you are craving for Asian food. read more

Capítol de Viêtnam - Mium! - Vietnamese Near Me - Barcelona, B

Capitol Vietnam near the sagrada familia is a good restaurant if you want a good meal for a reasonable price. Staff is friendly and very efficient. Daily menu during weekdays is 9,50 and you will get a starter, main and dessert. Which is good value. The weekends the menu is different and the price is slightly higher. If you order anything outside of their menu the price climbs very steep and the quality value is a bit lost. Overall pretty good restaurant especially in the sagrada familia area which is full of tourist traps. read more

I had a craving for Vietnamese food after having so much Spanish food and found this place close to our home. I ordered the nuem con (fresh spring rolls) which were so delicious I could've eaten 3 more plates. The sauce packed a punch. I then had the papaya salad and soup pho which were also savory and delicious. These 3 dishes are pretty much the only Vietnamese food that I know and really enjoy and this restaurant does them really well. Swift service and recommendations from the manager for my clueless partner without even having to ask for them. The decor is very tasteful with a mix of modern and traditional aesthetics. read more

I would give 6 stars to this cozy Vietnamese restaurant if I could. The quality of the food is incredible and therefore, so is its taste. Vietnamese food is my latest big discovering and I am really happy to have found a place like this, where not only you can enjoy a good menu but also the service of an excellent staff. They are very kind and will be glad to help you solve any doubt. There are some plates you will hardly manage to eat without a waiter teaching you how to do it, but that is one of the most interesting parts of trying new things. All the dishes I've ordered since the first time I was here were very flavorful and pleasant, so be brave and go for the most exotic things you see on the menu. If you have never eaten this type of food, you can have portions of different plates so you can try more than one, that is the tasting menu which is not very expensive. However, if you prefer to go for whole portions I recommend the Nem, which are four fried spring rolls stuffed with vegetables and eaten with a mint leaf and lettuce dipped in a sweet sauce, and Pho Xao Ca Ri, the best curried rice noodles with coconut milk, vegetables and prawns. For dessert, the hot and cold fried ginger ice cream (yes, hot and cold) is one of the best options. They have also gluten free and vegan dishes (marked on the menu as GF and V) and warnings about the spicy level of each food. The prices are not very high, but still if they were I would pay for this excellent service and food. read more

Surprisingly good, authentic Vietnamese food in Barcelona. When I got sick on vacation, I was hoping for some mediocre comfort food near our hotel. To my surprise, their spring rolls and pho broth was rich. Smaller portions than in the USA, and they put the herbs in the bowl for you. Dare I say, the pho was more similar to street vendors in Vietnam than pho in California. I tried to order in Vietnamese, but the waiters didn't speak Vietnamese. They spoke French and Spanish. Ha! read more

The fried dumplings and pho bo that we got as appetizers were pretty good, but then came the way-too-salty main dishes. My vermicelli bowl was okay but my husband's pork belly with rice and our cousin's garlicky chicken breast with fried rice were so salty that they couldn't finish their food. read more

Friendly staff. We had no problem getting a table on saturday without a reservation after 10 pm. Great food and fair prices. Try the banana brownie with coconut cream:)) read more

This restaurants food started off decent. The appetizer was solid, but when the main course came out.....everything started going down hill. I had the Beef Pho. Portion was decent but the broth was terrible. Bland and salty? I then sampled the vermicelli. The wrong order came out. Looking for beef not pork, the waitress insisted this is what I ordered. Clearly the lady was wrong, I tried to correct her and was hoping they would correct it. Instead she wanted to add another vermicelli and continue charging me for this vermicelli. How terrible and cheap is that? The vermicelli was decent, the meat was over salty and tasted cheap. Fried rice is what I sampled following that (my friends and I all came here) and it was once again a salty experience. The ambience was nice, although it had a feeling of a former Chinese restaurant..... Do yourself a favor. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

Not good pho very bland, plastic like noodles and odd tasting beef. The tapas were mediocre at best and the service depends on what waiter you have. Some waiters are good while others are rude and lack basic serving skills. Overall go somewhere else. read more

i've LOVE vietnamese food and have eaten it all over the world. best in asia of course but california does a good job. was hoping to find the same in spain and this was close but i'll check out the others. the pho was pretty good but doesn't come with the usual sprouts, peppers etc and was basically noodles and meat with a few onions. the large was about the size of the small bowels i'm used to and the broth wasn't as rich as i'd hoped. the veg fried rice was good, especially with hot sauce added. fresh spring rolls also good but on the smaller size. the crepe was good but much different than any vietnamese crepe i've had before. all in all ok and i will go back but hope there is something a bit better in terms of taste and value. the setting was very nice though! read more
