Oh my good - Jenfeld. This Part of Hamburg is not really known as a top place to go. But "top" often means a typical place for hipsters and or tourists. So - follow the stars of yelp and get surprised. To me Hoang Mai is one the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants in Hamburg. Uuuugh, its ugly here. First problem - the door is closed. In general you enter the restaurant via the shop beside. Hey if you solved this problem, the spartan interior and green walls may make you think "am I right here". YES YOU ARE!!! The waitress suddenly turned up, presented the menu. Asked If we are in first time. Explained all options of the menu (in really perfect German). Some of the food is vegetarian, but can be ordered with broth. In this case, broth is made of bones - no longer vegetarian at all. Good to now but anyway - bone broth, sounds really good! YOU ARE RIGHT HERE!!! Because most of the people here are Asians. One more point to assume the food is authentic! YOU ARE RIGHT HERE!!! Because the taste is mmmmmmmm really incredible. Portions are OK. Referring to the amount and quality, the price is ok, not cheap but neither expensive. So follow the stars - 'cause Yelp will help you to find the hidden stars! read more

This is it. One if the most authentic asian restaurants in all of Hamburg. Amazing food for a fair price, hidden away in Hamburg Jenfeld - really of the grid. But don't let that stop you from treating yourself to the most authentic and delicious vietnamese food you'll ever get this far away from Hanoi. And boy are you in for a treat. The food is amazing! Flavourful with a home cooked vibe to the dishes, served with fresh and fragrant herbs, spicy chilies and refreshing drinks. Satisfaction guaranteed! The service is efficient, friendly and accommodating. I once turned up with a friend of mine minutes after closing and they still served us and where so nice to us, even though we stalled their much deserved closing time. Thank you once again! The decor used to be typical to Asian Street Food restaurants (very basic) but they changed all that and redid the restaurant. Purists, regulars and people in the know may shrug off the redesign but I think its great. Hopefully people whom are not accustomed to asian Street Food won't be dissuaded by the backroom flair any longer. The little trip to Jenfeld is time well spent. As a tip, get there on a saturday or sunday morning. The place is bursting with people from all walks of life. Asian families dressed to the nines, groups of young people looking a little hung over from last night, old wrinkly asians all busy chatting away and most likely me, taking the whole scenery in, slurping my jumbo Pho and just being content. I'll see you there! read more

Authentic Vietnamese food and great service. Would always recommend it and it is worth the drive because it is a bit outside of the city centre but as I said: definitely worth it! Family-runned so you can tell they put their heart in it. Loved the "Banh Canh" and the fresh mango shake. read more

This is the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Hamburg I know - they didn't even used to have a menu; rather, those 'in the know' would just order one of five house menu items, like the pho or bun of the day. Now they've modernized with a one-page menu with pictures, perfect for the old and new fans alike! Very affordable, good home cooking. Difficult to get a table after noon on the weekends, but it's worth coming early for! read more
