BANÔI in Freiburg im Breisgau

Super tasty food and really big portions for an Asian. Clear recommendation!

The food was incredibly comforting and absolutely delicious, making for a very satisfying meal. While the restaurant can get quite crowded at times, it’s never really an issue for us. We don’t mind the bustle and still enjoy the overall experience. The lively atmosphere actually adds to the charm, and it’s always worth it for the quality of the food.

The appetizers in particular are highly recommended. We found the main course to be a little too bland in terms of taste. However, we are used to Asian and exotic food and for the average German it is probably just right. The service was super friendly. Unfortunately we had a table in front of the door downstairs - it was a bit crowded and cold there. However, the ambience itself is very nicely chosen.

There was a slight smell of urine in the room. Food was ok, the Pho was very salty, the bowl didn't have enough salt. The service was lousy and uncaring. Some dirty dishes, long waiting times, sticky table.

A very nice Vietnamese restaurant. We had a Pho soup, which was excellent, some spring rolls, curry dishes, and papaya salad. They were very tasty. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in frieburg.

Very nice! You can also eat gluten-free

Very nice service - fine food and drinks - very fair price-performance ratio!

Had food to-go, so no rating for ambience. The food was very good, crispy spring rolls and vegetarian pho from heaven!

Super tasty and fresh food! The restaurant is very cozy and quaint, the waiters and the owner are very accommodating and nice. We were completely satisfied and would recommend it straight away!

Very good food and very friendly staff! Special personal requests are also taken into account and the food is prepared quickly. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy. Would like to give 6 stars.

Very fine food, service was a bit unmotivated

Good atmosphere, courteous staff and the food was delicious! Full of flavor, authentic Vietnamese food and super fast. I was particularly impressed by the vegan Seitan alternative. A very good choice for vegans.

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant! Soooo delicious and fresh!

Unfortunately, it has happened to me three times now that a meal was missing when I picked it up. I went back one day to get it later. For several months I kept asking whether everything was there. The last two times I forgot, once rice was missing, once the third dish. I could of course check and/or go back every time, but I would like to be able to expect to just get everything I order.

We were here again for the first time in a long time but were very disappointed. The price-performance ratio wasn't right.

Very tasty food, well attended, so better make a reservation

A few years ago the store was good. Although I have never been to Vietnam, I have eaten in excellent Vietnamese restaurants in Paris for years and so I have an impression. Basho-An has never been able to compete with the good restaurants in Paris, but a few years ago you could still eat well here. Yesterday I had a bo bun, which was by far the worst bo bun I've ever eaten. Mainly pasta, then a few cucumbers, onions, some meat and "fish sauce" that didn't taste like fish but just spicy. This has nothing to do with a bo bun and nothing to do with a good meal. I will never eat here again.... Unfortunately, many restaurants in Freiburg generally seem to be declining extremely since Corona. Very sad, this makes the choice more and more difficult because you are offered more and more junk (often at very high prices)...

It's a real shame, we've been ordering for home delivery for a long time, we checked with the delivery person and a meal was missing. After calling both branches, we were told that we were unlucky and that the missing food would not be delivered, even though it had already been paid for in advance. They didn't approach us in any way and activated Paypal's buyer protection. We've always thought highly of the restaurant, but now they have a few fewer people than customers. What a shame!

I stayed at Banoi and I can only recommend it. We had the rice bowl with all kinds of fresh vegetables and delicious peanut sauce. I think it's very good that they have a sugar-free soda alternative (detox water). I also had the Coconut Miracle smoothie, very tasty and not too sweet. Luckily it also has chopsticks. When it's warm it's nice and cool under the trees outside. On cloudy days when it's colder you just need a jacket. Despite the high number of visitors, service was quick and friendly after ordering. 10/10 Btw vegetarian/vegan has never been a problem on site.

It's a really delicious restaurant Schmeckt super! Recommended by Pho Xao!

Hello, first of all I would like to say that it hurts me to give this place a bad rating because we actually liked eating at Banoi (until about 2 years ago). However, in recent years the quality has declined on several levels. I just ordered 4 vegan spring rolls and unfortunately I took home 4 rolls with chicken (unfortunately the sauce was also missing). Things like that can happen, yes. However, this wasn't the first time I've taken meat to go instead of a vegan dish in this shop. When you bite into it at home and almost puke because you're not meat, that's just disgusting. The last few times I accepted it like that. But this time it annoyed me so much that I had to call. Should I reveal what is being offered as 'compensation'? You get a voucher for a store where you no longer want to eat. Thanks Banoi. Really. Guests who have been there for years are treated this way. Get somewhere else. I was there last time. I also find it hard to collect a flat rate for packaging. Especially if you don't even manage to complete orders. Because the sauce from the vegan bowl completely leaked out in the bag because the container was simply broken 🥲 delicious.

We spontaneously went to Banoi for an early dinner and were very satisfied. We both eat vegan and had a nice selection. We sat outside and both the service and the quality of the food were good. We would eat here again.

Update from June 8th, 2024: We were there again today after more than two years. We waited a bit long for the food, but as soon as it arrived everything was forgotten. Food was super tasty and the price was totally okay. The two of us paid a good €40 (main course and homemade lemonade) Original review January 20, 2022 We finally went to Banôi last week. It was a bit crowded and we weren't sure whether we would be able to find a place without a reservation. We were pleasantly surprised, after moving tables around a bit we had our place with plenty of room for the next table. Everyone is sure to find something delicious to eat on the mega-detailed menu. My Bo Xao Sa really sizzled when it was served and created a little show moment 😉. Super tasty and great price, what more could you want. It is rounded off by friendly and courteous staff. Keep it up!

The service is super nice and the food is excellent. I can only recommend the bowls!

Lunch very tasty. 2-3 dishes with soup. Get there early as the restaurant was full after 15 minutes. Takeaway services also available. I will gladly come again.

Stopping here every now and then for lunch as they always have very yummy options, one always vegan / vegetarian and another with meat or seafood. Not cheap but delicious. Outside nice, inside crammed, only three tables for barrier free access directly after door.

Lots of seats, outdoor terrace, nice service

The meal is delicious, full of flavors!! The server is adorable and the terrace is nice. We will go back!

The staff didn't feel like working at all. I preferred to sit at the garbage can and smoke 🚬. We had to wait 35 minutes for a simple drink order. Which in and of itself is a disgrace. In addition, the service was extremely unfriendly and dishonest.

The food was good although the service was very delayed and insufficient.The location was nice but they delayed to turn on the lights at night.The prices were good.

The food was delicious and very authentic. The offer is very diverse. Clear recommendation!

It smells fantastic when you walk in! The food is super tasty and the selection is large. Friendly service and very fair prices! We recommend!

Tasty but the service is catastrophic.

Intriguing restaurant in the basement with refined Asian decor: it makes you want to discover more. Intimate atmosphere. Adorable German waitress who makes you happy by speaking to you a little in French. Possibility of card in English for those who have poor command of German. Too bad there were no pieces of spring rolls in the bun bo.

Very tasty food. Also for take-away (count the bar!), otherwise reserve in advance, it always seems to be busy.

Closed when supposed to be open :(

I recommend everything on the menu!

After ordering and picking up our food over the phone, we noticed that the prices on the website clearly hadn't been updated. This meant we paid over 10% more than stated on the menu, in addition to the packaging fee (which is completely fine). Even though I had ordered the food over the phone two hours before picking it up, we still had to wait fifteen minutes before we could take it with us. The taste of the food was okay; I ordered the seafood plate (No. 25) for over €20. Unfortunately, apart from the two mussels and two shrimps, it hardly contained anything from the sea. Overall, I would not fully recommend the restaurant, especially due to the unadjusted prices on the website, which give the impression that you as a customer are being ripped off. It is known that the tax increase in the catering sector leads to additional costs, but this has already been implemented for almost three months, not just last week.

There are stars for the lovely staff. Went to Banoi for the first time today and to be honest I was a bit disappointed. My partner ordered Pho Bo and I ordered Bun Heo. Since we are big Vietnam fans, we have already tried a number of Vietnamese restaurants and are still trying new things. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right here. Unfortunately, the amount of meat was saved, but there were vegetables and salad. We drank Tiger beer with each meal, which is highly recommended. Super tasty beer. Ambience is okay, but quite cramped and the tables are very small. We also found it a shame that the dishes came separately. While my partner was already halfway through, my food finally arrived. The taste is okay, but it still doesn't come close to my favorite Vietnamese.

Cozy restaurant with good food. We specially ordered our iced tea without ice so as not to have a watered-down taste. But it felt like it was only filled with water and didn't really smell like lychee coconut. The service was nice, maybe a little overwhelmed. The furnishings are cool, even if we unfortunately received chairs without backrests. But that was fine. The food was really tasty and very traditional in taste. So it's totally fine, but it doesn't necessarily have to happen again

Long waiting times, service not very helpful, loud music, soup: very salty, thin, overcooked rice and a few rings of spring onions as garnish. Although the menu says: “If you have an allergy, please contact us,” the waiter was not very pleased when asked about gluten-free food. He couldn't give any precise information and simply left the table. Of the three dishes offered for lunch, only two were available. We had to wait a very, very long time for the food and were only moderately satisfied with the quality. The quantity could also be a little more. Visually, the place is nicely decorated, but the loud disco music doesn't match the ambience.

A pity. We had high hopes, unfortunately the wrong ones. The ambience looks really nice, but the price-performance ratio is catastrophic. It's okay to pay more for really good food, but €30 for a starter for three people is outrageous! Some of the meat was too raw, some of it was too well done. Eternal waiting times until everyone had their food. The first ones were already finished (there were three of us!!). Service was quick, but you also felt a bit being watched. A chair was rudely taken away without even asking and while food was on the table, the table was shaken really badly, WITHOUT even apologizing. You can eat much better somewhere else for the same price. And definitely too much coriander!!

Food was okay, we did have to wait really long for the food, eve though we didn’t order so much, and we were there on a Thursday evening. The food didn’t seem to be cooked well and also lacked flavor. We payed a little under 100€ for three people, everyone had a dish, drink and we shared a platter. But the service and food we recieved didn’t match the price. Unfortunately a bad experience. Glad to see the Vietnamese culture represented tho

Food was ok but honestly service and how the waiters were behaving wasn't lovely. The food there isn't the cheapest. They were really stressing us about how much time we have until we leave although it was 6pm and they would close at 8 pm. They didn't have the desserts and the food got shrinked since the last time we were there.

The food was great anyway, but overall better in the city center!

Super tasty and fresh food!😋 Reservation makes sense ☝

Very little space in the dining room and the seating is tight. In terms of service, an effort was made in principle, but some of the drinks were forgotten and the cutlery only came after the meal and upon request. I found the food itself very tasty and reasonable price/performance ratio. Overall, definitely my recommendation

The food is delicious and authentic and the prices are reasonable. The service could be a little better - clear the table when finished or ask if anyone else would like a drink. But everyone was very friendly with a smile on their face. The seating is a bit tight. But what doesn't work at all is the smell that you get in your clothes, on your skin and in your hair after the visit. Absolutely inadequate ventilation, and then three portions of sizzling beef at the next table. For us one (and actually the only) reason not to go there anymore.

We sat at the table for over ten minutes and when we ordered we were told that all tables were reserved! We would then have to leave our table again. Nothing professional.

Very good food, friendly staff. A bit drafty near the entrance when it's cold outside.

Food was great, the papaya salad is highly recommended. Spicy ;-) The dishes were fresh and attractively presented. Great atmosphere, uncomplicated and friendly service. Recommended restaurant.

Food is very tasty and the kitchen is quick, so you don't have to wait long Unfortunately the service is not very motivated. We wanted something more to drink, but no service in sight. The table wasn't cleared and at some point the waitress just came with the bill

Our reservation was completely screwed up, but instead of offering a reasonable solution, we first had to discuss and "prove" that we really called the day before and made the reservation... Food was okay, but honestly a bit bland for the price and not really much. During this time our group was happily ignored by the waitress. All in all not a good experience. First and last visit.

Симпатичный небольшой ресторан вьетнамской кухни. Сервис хороший, готовят и подают быстро. Я снизила оценку за качество еды, так как в утке, которую я заказывала, кожи было больше чем мяса.

Diese Bewertung bezieht sich auf das BANOI im Lust auf Gut, wo wir am 11.11. zu zweit zum Abendessen waren. Als ich bei der Bestellung fragten, ob es eine vegane Variante der Pho gäbe, wurde mir geantwortet: "Ich glaube, die ist vegan. Doch die müsste vegan sein." Auf Nachfrage, ob sie wirklich vegan sei, erneut "Ja, die müsste vegan sein. Glaube ich." Der Vorspeisenteller für zwei war sehr lecker. Nachdem wir die Vorspeise ungefähr zur Hälfte aufgegessen hatten, kam die Bedienung mit einem Gericht. Wir baten darum, zuerst die Vorspeise essen zu können und dann das Hauptgericht zu bekommen. Nach ca. drei Minuten stand die selbe Bedienung mit beiden Hauptgerichten da, stellte sie mit "gutem Appetit" ab und ging. Da wurde uns unmissverständlich klar gemacht, dass wir genau JETZT die Hauptspeise essen MÜSSEN, ein entspannter Abend mit Gerichten nacheinander ist nicht möglich. Das Essen selbst war sehr frisch und schön anzusehen, geschmacklich war es allerdings fad. Nur durch Würzen mit den am Tisch bereitstehenden Soßen kam Geschmack. Das ist sehr schade, da die Gerichte eigentlich schon die Würze mitbringen sollten und nicht durch irgendwelche haltbar gemachten Soßen dazu kommen sollten. Noch ein Hinweis zu den Toiletten: nur eine Damentoilette von drei offen, kein WC-Papier, keine Handtücher und offensichtlich niemand, der sich kümmert. Unser Fazit: nette Location, bemühtes Konzept, aber leider im Ergebnis nur Durchschnitt. Vielleicht für ein schnelles Mittagessen, aber sonst keine Empfehlung von mir.

Die Vorspeise kam fast zeitgleich zum Hauptgang 🙄. Das Essen war allerdings sehr lecker!

Ein sehr schönes Lokal,mit sehr freundlichen Angestellten und sehr gutes Essen sehr empfehlenswert. Wir

Schönes kleines Restaurant mit tollem Essen

Das Curry war in Ordnung, aber das andere Gericht mit Reisnudeln eher nicht. In Frankfurt esse ich öfters ähnliche Gerichte mit Reisnudeln, Tofu, Kräutern und Erdnüssen. Das war wirklich nicht so lecker, vorallem die Soße nicht. Natürlich Geschmackssache. Lange Wartezeiten auf Service, wenn es voll ist.

Das Essen ist echt gut. Abends meist recht voll. Im Großen ganzen zu empfehlen

Wie immer sehr leckeres und authentisches Essen. Auch der Service war sehr gut - schnelle und aufmerksame Bedienung.

Das Positive zuerst: Man isst in einem sehr schönen Ambiente mit angenehmer Beleuchtung. Das wars. Nun das negative: Service ist leider katastrophal, man wartet 20min bis man überhaupt bestellen kann. Nach weiteren 20min kommt dann die erste Vorspeise. Bis aber auch die letzte (wir waren 3 Personen) Vorspeisen da war, ging es nochmal 20min. Beim Essen das selbe, wobei wir ohne Nachfragen vermutlich das 3. Gericht immer noch nicht erhalten hätten. Zwischen Ankündigung, dass wir zahlen wollen und zahlen nochmal 20min. Essen an sich oke, Vorspeisen gut, der Rest mehr so Naja. Schade, die Betreiber könnten aus der Location auf jeden Fall mehr rausholen. Woher die allgemein ganz guten Bewertungen her kommen ist für mich fraglich. Unser letzter Besuch hier.

Das Essen ist für die Portionsgröße etwas teuer. Die Bedienung war sehr nett und die Einrichtung schön.

Beste vegane Bowl, die ich in Deutschland je gegessen habe. Restaurant innen ist relativ eng & dunkel, aber schön dekoriert. Große Portionen, nette Bedienungen.

Super leckeres Essen, Die Sommerrolls samt Soße waren spitze, Die Nr 32 ebenfalls, der Bananen Nachtisch mit tapioca war für mich so absolut neu und mega lecker. Wird nicht unser letzter Besuch gewesen sein!

Essen war mittelmäßig. Preise eher hoch. Service war nicht gut. Würde nicht mehr hin gehen.

Schöne, schattige Location, Essen sehr lecker und frisch, Preis-Leistung absolut i.O., guter Service, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Super Service, TOP Essen! Telefonisch einen Tisch reserviert für einen Geburtstag, hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Das Essen wurde schnell serviert und es war sehr Lecker. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Essen war lecker. Der Tisch war zuerst klebrig und verdreckt, als ich mich hingesessen habe. Er wurde erst geputzt, als der Kellner die Bestellung aufnahm. Beim Mittagessen ist eine Suppe dabei. Das Essen kann man vegan bestellen, aber auf Nachfrage, ob die Suppe vegetarisch ist, hieß es ja, es ist nur ein bisschen Fischsoße dran. Ich habe gefragt, ob es stattdessen eine Alternative wie zum Beispiel Salat gäbe. Dies würde verneint. Schade. Der Preis für das Mittagessen - ohne Suppe - war der gleiche Preis...

Staff was ok, but not very attentive. Food was not very special, the entrees were good. But the main wasn’t that great. Wouldn’t eat there again, but was fine for one evening

Nicht empfehlenswert! Waren dort zu meinem Geburtstag sind leider sehr enttäuscht wurden. Essen war gut für den Preis jedoch definitiv zu überteuert sowie zu kleine Portionen. Bei einem Gericht mit Ente für welches ich über 17 Euro bezahle erwarte ich mehr als 5 Stücke Ente. Der Service hatte meinem Partner das Gemüse mit Ente gebracht bis der Reis kam mussten wir 3 mal fragen(waren schon kurz davor zu gehen) beim zweiten sowie beim dritten mal fragen wurde uns gesagt "Habs vergessen" mega unprofessionel, dass man so oft nachfragen musste. Bis der Reis kam war das Gemüse und die Ente wieder kalt. Anstatt uns aber ein neues Gericht zu bringen wurde das Gericht erwärmt, so dass das Gemüse nachträglich latschig war. Auf mein Geburtstags essen durfte ich 40 min warten, während mein Partner sein Essen schon fertig gegessen hatte! abselout nicht empfehlenswert!!!

Nice food, slightly on the saltier side, but it was tasty! The only issue is that there are too many ants while you eat..

Wirklich sehr zu empfehlen! Ebenso wie bei dem selbe Restaurant in der Innenstadt, bin ich der Meinung, dass es das beste Vietnamesisch Restaurant weit und breit ist. Habe zumindest noch kein besseres in Stuttgart oder Freiburg finden können. Werde immer gerne zum Essen und trinken kommen.

Die Nudeln und das Essen generell richtig lecker, aber die Nudeln sind ein wenig überkocht fand ich. Das Service war nicht schlecht aber mir hat ein Lächeln gefehlt und die Nachfrage, ob alles ok ist und ob wir noch etwas trinken möchten.

positiv: Eine der schönsten Lagen Freiburgs mit großer Außenterrasse. Sehr freundliches Personal und das Essen kam in ca. 15 Minuten. Auch das Wasser mit Minze, Zitrone und Ingwer war erfrischend und preislich für 2 Personen ganz gut. Meine Freundin hatte die lauwarmen Nudeln für ca. 15 Euro. Die waren lecker und von der Menge auch ganz gut. negativ: Wir hatten ursprünglich beide Pho bestellt welche jedoch leer war. Zu ihrer Verteidigung es war 21 Uhr. Die Küche schließt um 22 Uhr. Dennoch finde ich das eigentlich eine relativ normale Uhrzeit an einem schönen Samstag Abend im Juni. Also habe ich Banh Mi mit Schweinebauch bestellt. Den gab es aber auch nicht mehr. Das fand ich dann bei der kleinen Karte langsam frustrierend. Es blieb nicht mehr viel übrig. Letztendlich wurde es Banh Mi mit Jackfruit. Bekommen habe ich aber Banh Mi mit Teriyaki Hähnchen was ich nicht sonderlich passend fand für das Vietnamesische Sandwich. Das Hähnchen selbst war jedoch lecker. Das Brötchen war sehr gut. Es war ordentlich Koriander drauf und Salat. Es hat jedoch schmerzlich an Säure durch bspw. eingelegtes/fermentiertes Gemüse oder eine kalte Fischsoße gefehlt. Außerdem war Avocadocreme drauf welche vollkommen unnötig war und man nicht rausgeschmeckt hat. Wenn man bedenkt wie viel Avocado kostet treibt das unnötig den Preis hoch. Für 9,50 war es dann auch recht wenig für mich (männlich, 62 kg, 1,75m). Ich bin dann noch zu McDonald's.

Gutes Essen, leckeres Curry aber leider kleine Portionen und zu teuer. Preis-Leistung geht so…

Lecker, gute Auswahl, endlich mal gut gewürzt! Innendrin stilvoll eingerichtet. Wir waren als Mädelsgruppe da, jeder hat was für sich gefunden!

Lekker eten. Vriendelijke bediening. Gemoedelijke sfeer.

Sehr leckerer Vietnamese. Vor allem der Vorspeisenteller für 2 Personen war super mit Edamame und Sommerrollen. Als Hauptspeise hatte ich das Süßkartoffel Curry, was ich auch sehr empfehlen kann. Es empfiehlt sich einen Tisch zu reservieren, da es gerade am Wochenende etwas voller werden kann.

Preisleistung schlecht. Die Soßen sind nicht lecker, überteuerte Getränke, kaputte und alte Teller und die Bedienung ist am Schlafen 😴. Naja ... Für ein Gericht hätte ich höchstens 8-10 Euro gezahlt.

Freundlich, gut! Schnell, empfehlenswert

Essen sehr gut, Service lies zu wünschen übrig, die Preise waren recht hoch für doch recht kleine Portionen
