Cay Tre Restaurant in Bonn

Small Vietnamese restaurant. We found a place even without a reservation. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was very friendly and quick.

Super tasty food at good prices. Portions are very good and fresh and you'll really feel full! Nice staff and a nice experience every time!

Great Vietnamese restaurant in Bonn! Cay Tre is easy to reach by public transport and there are several parking garages nearby - so it's also easy to get by car. The staff is very friendly and attentive, you immediately feel welcome. The menu offers a great selection - there is something for every taste. The food was consistently delicious, freshly prepared and beautifully presented. Particularly noteworthy is the price-performance ratio – great! We'll definitely be back. A reservation is recommended as the restaurant is busy - and rightly so!

Very tasty Vietnamese food. Super quick serving. Very friendly service, very correct accommodation. I really enjoy coming here to eat.

We (couple of 2 people) had reserved in advance because we knew from previous visits that Saturdays are always busy. When we arrived for our reserved time, we were informed that we could only sit outside. A reservation for the indoor area would not be possible. If we don't want this we should leave again. Dear ladies and gentlemen from the service team: This is not true. We have made reservations in your restaurant several times and have always been seated inside. We question the idea of ​​enjoying a warm meal at 7 p.m. at 6°C. We then left without eating and will certainly not come back, also because of your rude request: "If you don't want this, then just go somewhere else". That's not how you treat guests.

First of all, the food was good and I would come back. Unfortunately we waited a very long time. I had to watch as the food from the kitchen waited several minutes to be brought to the tables. Sometimes it went back because no one knew which table it was supposed to be at. The kitchen is not the weak point here, but rather the lack of coordination in the service. I hope it was just a blip today, because the people were very nice, especially the waitress. In my opinion, she had the insight. I hope for the best and keep my fingers crossed

Noodle dish with duck. It's the first time I haven't eaten all the duck

The best Vietnamese in Bonn! The staff is so incredibly nice, you feel super comfortable and welcome. The menu is really huge, the dishes are large and the price-performance ratio is really great. I always like to come back! 😊

Very good food. The sauces are fantastic.

uncomfortable seating, way too close to people. Food doesn’t make sense really weird tastes. waiters don’t really know what they’re doing make you feel extremely uncomfortable.

I came across this restaurant by chance and I am completely amazed. I love Vietnamese food and it is particularly good here. The food is fresh and there are many vegetarian and vegan options. The service was quick and friendly. Overall, highly recommended.

I've been eating there regularly for a year. It's really very very good. Unfortunately, the food never arrives warm to the guest. Therefore points deducted. Better organization with the kitchen and the distribution of food would be desirable.

Overpriced, untasty food. What annoyed us was that they use authentic name for very germanized-served dishes. I was so happy to see "Kho tộ" and what came out was stir-fry beef with so many different vegetables swimming in liquid juice. My boyfriend is a German but he could recognize right away that his Bun bo la lot was served in a wrong way (everything mixed together in a big plate, meanwhile they should be served separately), and the meat was tasteless /badly-seasoned. We don't have problems with germanized food, but if you can't serve the food in an authentic way, stop putting the wrong name in the menu so people can make decisions according to their personal preferences. The waiter was super unfriendly and didn't call the dishes properly (we were there at around 20:30 on 27/02/2025). We already had our favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Bonn and still wanted to try out this new one. But from this experience we will just never come here again.

Friendly staff and delicious cuisine :) Large vegetarian selection!

Overall, the restaurant is recommended - there are better and worse Vietnamese restaurants in Bonn. Unfortunately, the summer rolls on the appetizer plate stuck together so badly that they had to be cut apart so that they wouldn't open when separated. But the main courses were excellent.

Excellent food and great service. Favorite restaurant

You probably shouldn't order food, it was absolutely disappointing for the price…

Delicious. Have tried the soups. Small portion - is quite big, large portion - huge. Thanks to the waiter's recommendation, I didn't order again. We were full. So, different dishes next time. Thanks.

Delicious fresh vegetarian cuisine. Price/performance ratio good. Recommended.

Way too long of a wait and only average food :/ Update: Much better the second time! Maybe I had a bad first impression, so 1 star more 👍🏻

Honestly: a complete disappointment. The food was simply bad, for example I ordered a "creamy" coconut curry, what came was a watery, inedible mush. My wife also had an inedible dish. We were surprised that the food arrived after what felt like 2 minutes, which is never a good sign. When I brought up the bad food when paying, there was no apology or effort of any kind to salvage the situation. So after what felt like 15 minutes we were back outside, the food remained. Too bad!

I ordered from you yesterday via uber eats and didn't think the food was good for the prices quoted. Very bland. The noodles were in a tasteless curry mash with a few vegetables and meat. But what shocks me the most is that the price quoted for the noodles at uber eats is about twice as much as what you get in your restaurant! (see photo) Is it still okay? I can understand that you have to compensate for the fees (although as a customer you already pay extra via uber eats €4 delivery + €2 service), but please not to this extent. It would be nice if you please take a look at it again and adjust your pricing because it really makes you feel very shitty. For 10€ like in your restaurant you can ignore the boring taste because the portion size was right, but charging 20€ for delivery is simply extortionate. Too bad

Nice ambience! Nice service & tasty food!

Good for eating, comfort is not possible.

Food really delicious! Coconut sauce was great, duck was really tender. Went here by chance, but we'll definitely be back!

All in all, it's really great and tasty. Ambiance was very cozy. Unfortunately there are no chairs inside (downstairs) but benches. So if you have back problems you should take a seat against the wall. The food was delicious. Very diverse. The papaya salad wasn't quite to our taste. The “Tom Chien” was very tasty. Just like the noodle dish “Mien Xao” and the rice dish “Teriyaki Salmon”. However, a bit too many onions for my taste. The staff was very friendly and what you don't eat you can take home with you

This Vietnamese restaurant, which is extremely cozy, offers a huge number of vegetarian dishes. I ordered spicy (wok-cooked) vegetables with tofu, COM SA OT, which tasted really delicate. This dish consists of Broccoli, mushrooms. Carrots, zucchini, lemongrass, chili, onions, bean sprouts and coriander. The broccoli was still really crunchy. However, the rice side dish was quite poor - in complete contrast to the really large portion of COM SA OT. For drinks I had a large pineapple spritzer and a delicious jasmine tea. The service was friendly, courteous and quick. This Vietnamese restaurant on charming Friedrichstrasse is definitely worth a visit.

I come here regularly - highly recommended. I can highly recommend the summer rolls, the pho soups, the curry with rice and the glass noodles with lukewarm coconut sauce. Both the tofu is very tasty, as is the beef + beef broth

Very friendly and courteous staff. The seating is rather spartan and the terrace is under a tent. The toilets could be cleaner. The food is very tasty!

Uncomplicated Asian with delicious and reasonably priced food.

We had to wait a while until our order was taken. After that it went pretty quickly. The food was fresh and super tasty 😊

Unfortunately we found the food very bland. We had 4 pasta dishes and all of them were way too dry and honestly didn't taste like anything. However, the wine selection is good. ;) Unfortunately the only positive thing.

Food wasn’t authentic and good at all. Flavours of very different dishes were the same … some curry mixture that doesn’t resemble Vietnamese cuisine. The spring rolls weren’t filled rich and the cocktails didn’t contain alcohol.

A wonderful restaurant on the beautiful Friedrichstrasse. Exotic food and drinks. The staff is extremely friendly. Full recommendation!

If you're very hungry, you'll definitely get full here. There are large portions that are also pleasing to the eye. In terms of taste, however, I find it to be rather mixed. However, the homemade lemonades are very tasty.

The restaurant is good. The cuisine is straight from Vietnam. I liked everything very much!

Were in Bonn today and decided on the Cay Tre restaurant because we liked the daily menu. A wise decision, nice, friendly service staff and very tasty, well-prepared food and drinks and at unusually low prices. I can really recommend the restaurant. We will definitely be happy to come back.

Delicious food, but my soy intolerance was simply ignored, which is not possible. On the allergen menu it said that there was no soy in it and I asked again if it was soy-free, which I was told was yes. In the end I got something with tofu and when I explained that unfortunately I couldn't eat it for health reasons, the tofu was apparently just taken away in the kitchen and the same thing was given to me again instead of preparing the food again. Unfortunately, I'm now sitting at home with severe stomach cramps and diarrhea.

Delicious food!!! I'll definitely come back.

Delicious food, friendly staff, good selection of dishes. Highly recommend! We had 2 starters, 2 main dishes, 2 glasses of wine, coffee and lemonade was around 65 EUR total which is very good price!

Simply amazing! I was for vacation in Vietnam and i loved so much the food! I chose cay tre and bring me all the great memories, felt like i was in Vietnam. Food was soooo delicious and portions so big!!! Even though i loved it, i could not finish. Noodles and meat dish is for 2 people. I totally recommend the place

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and very tasty dishes. I'll definitely be back!

Big portions of food, everything very tasty!

So the food was really tasty! It was super quick, we didn't wait long. The waitress looked after us very kindly and took great care of us. What wasn't so good: The "young" boss, who at the beginning walked around the restaurant totally annoyed and "mumbled" at us because we had a reservation and didn't explicitly reserve for outside...

Family friendliness, especially for small children, could still be worked on. There was a high chair, but the buckle for the straps was broken so my child could not be secured. There was no other high chair. In the end we didn't eat there.

Food was very tasty, service was also very good

We were surprised by the fast and friendly service. The food came promptly and was fresh and hot. In our opinion, it wasn't seasoned enough or lacked the "pepp" or "wow" taste. Still, everything we had was delicious and we would come back. When it comes to ambience, Friedrichstrasse has its own special flair.

Allergy sufferers beware: Even if it's not on the menu, there are peanuts in practically everything! The menu says: 2 summer rolls for 5€ but you only get ONE, which is cut into 2 parts, previously there were really 2 rolls. Bitter. The place used to be much better, but unfortunately the prices are rising and the portions are getting smaller. Very unfortunate. It's a real shame, I have previously recommended the store without reservation, but definitely not anymore.

Vietnamese in the center of Bonn, normal prices, delicious fried prawns and glass spaghetti!

Rich food with fresh ingredients.

We were here for the first time today and were really excited! Very friendly service, very, very tasty food and we didn't have to wait long, despite the fact that it was very busy on a Saturday. We'd love to come back! :-)

Good restaurant with outdoor dining

Delicious food in abundant portions. Serving is very quick too.

A discovery, by chance, eaten there once, and of course eaten there again a week later, becomes a regular restaurant in Bonn.

Unfortunately very poor service and not customer oriented! We wanted to have something to eat for two on a Wednesday afternoon. The terrace was hardly occupied, there were around 10 tables free. However, the only free tables for two were right next to tables where people smoked. Since I'm pregnant, we asked the waiter if we could sit at a table for 4 a little further away (and also told her that I was pregnant!). The table could have easily been pulled apart within 2 seconds as it was just two small tables pushed together. But after she asked the other waiter, this wasn't possible and he just shook his head and laughed. We then left because, as a pregnant woman, I don't sit down at a distance of just 40 cm from the smoking table next door. This is how you scare away guests!

Very delicious Vietnamese food restaurant, Vietnamese food that has been Germanized is still delicious😋

Best glass noodles I have ever eaten in my life wow!!!!

Extremely unfriendly staff. When politely asked whether the food for the fifth person at the table had perhaps been forgotten, the impudent answer came: “Don’t stress!” When asked about it when leaving the restaurant, they said it wasn't his problem, but that of the kitchen. We forego further experiences.

Unfortunately the sea bream was very dry and not seasoned.... Maybe next time it will be better..... Well, so-so...

The food was disappointing and tasteless. There was a complete lack of spice and I'm used to a higher standard of Vietnamese food. It was simply a waste of money.

One of my favorite restaurants in Bonn! The food is almost always tasty and the staff is also very friendly.

Disappointing. Lots of vegetables, but already pre-cooked when they go into the wok. At around 9:20 p.m. chairs are stacked and the bill comes automatically, even if you are still eating. Service correct, but not particularly friendly. A pity.

It was my first contact with Vietnamese food. It was delicious and my concerns about whether I would like it were unfounded. Many flavors combined and balanced. It takes a while to get through the menu, but the dishes are well explained. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. We'll definitely come back and keep trying... 👍

Food was good. Price was okay too. Service also very friendly. We were lucky that it was relatively empty so we had the table to ourselves. The partitions on the table were very reminiscent of the Corona era and I wouldn't want to sit that tight. But we said

Super tasty food at very fair prices, especially for the large portions, totally okay. Nice staff and quiet location, but close to the Rhine and the city center. Gladly again.

Very good but a little expensive in my opinion.

Good, fast and friendly service. Big, tasty dishes. Good prices. Nice, large terrace in the city center.

Stylish atmosphere, you sit casually on benches. Food was great, price/performance was really good and nice service. I'll go there again soon :) I'd also like to go outside when the weather is better :)

Nothing special....just your average Vietnamese food....it is delicious, in the city center and offers the variety of food you know from other Vietnamese restaurants. Is good to stop and grab a bite if u feel like a little bit of a healthier food.

It's been a while since I found a nice Vietnamese restaurant like this. Food was tasty and I would highly recommend.

Phew, difficult. The food was excellent, value for money was top. The meat is always very good with the sauce, and there are also delicious vegetables underneath. Can only be recommended The 3 stars are because we had difficult situations with a male waiter twice. In the winter we sat at the door and asked if we could lean it a little further because we were cold, and he yelled at us that he had to serve. The other day we ordered drinks one after the other by chance and without intention. When he brought the third drink, we were yelled at that we weren't being served anymore, and the female waiter arrived confused as to whether we had ordered the bill (which we haven't yet). The female conditions are super nice, but this one always spoils the experience a little. But otherwise good

Update 5/13/24 Unfortunately very negative feedback today The man in the serving team was very unfriendly. At the end we were indirectly asked to leave. Probably because we ordered three drinks in a row. Too bad so not good. Even the waitress at our table was embarrassed. eat good Very tasty right in the city center Unfortunately, the guests at the next table were shouted at by the waitress when they closed the door because it was cold. That's a no-go.

ABSOLUTELY RUDE WAITER!!! Today's visit to a restaurant with my wife was the most unpleasant one I have ever experienced. It started when I was given a large passion fruit spritzer with tap water instead of sparkling water; I could have ignored the lack of ice in the room-temperature drink. However, I decided (unfortunately) to speak to the young Asian waiter in black in a friendly manner. He reacted angrily, but offered to pour some sparkling water into it. He didn't offer a new drink, and I didn't ask for one either, for the sake of peace (he seemed personally offended). The impression that he was personally attacked was radically confirmed when he put away pillows, looked at me grimly as I passed, turned away and said quietly but clearly audibly "Arse...". Completely irritated, I looked at my equally irritated wife, who said she had heard the same thing. After a short thinking time of 5 seconds, I asked the waiter what he had just said. He replied that he had brought me a new drink, but I hadn't asked for it. You might think there was a misunderstanding due to a language barrier, but the man spoke German quite well. I became more specific about why he called me an “a...hole” and whether he felt personally attacked because of my drink complaint. He became visibly nervous and began to stammer, especially when his superior intervened, but he couldn't help solve the problem and just tried to calm me down. Since the waiter was only tangled up in fragments of words, and I also wanted to eat something (and I didn't want to have the chef responsible for my food against me, food has something to do with trust), I left it without clarification or even Sorry be good. However, the mood was finally gone, the nice neighbor at the table on the left, qwasi on my lap, couldn't save anything. At least she got the right dish. I received the daily special number 64 with tofu instead of the chicken I specifically ordered. (My vegetarian neighbor on the right later received his summer rolls with the exact opposite meat, but at least a thrown out “sorry” and a new meal). The dish was plentiful, a bit dry but seasoned passably. I probably wouldn't have appreciated a perfectly prepared meal after this truly devastating experience. This mixture of eating out, lower-class TV and escape room could be described as a form of experience gastronomy, but it's not my case. That's why I only give it one star.

Waited more than 30 minutes for drinks, still waiting for starter...

In total nice Vietnamese food for a fair price. The spring roll was good. The portion is quiet big and the service is quick and easy going.

Very tasty, large portions for a fair price.

Food: coconut curry extended with water, which was more like a soup. Far too little rice, three pieces of beef. The rice that was subsequently ordered was also included on the bill. It used to be good here - unfortunately only one star...

Typically Vietnamese good Been there twice and both times were delicious. Friendly and fast service. Fresh ingredients and good taste. Prices are really great, always happy.

Unfortunately I only have to give it 1 because the service was fruitful... especially from a young man who served this evening. He was not nice to our table, admonishing us to come and order quickly and also to finish early because they would close at 9:30pm on a Saturday, even though our food wasn't ready and arrived late. Very rude and unwelcome. Not recommended if he serves!

Delicious food. Fast service. Comfortable sitting.

Visiting Bonn and saw this pho shop. Attitude of the waiters are quite rude and unfriendly. Food was salty.

The food, service and prices - absolutely outstanding. Only the ambience could be more homely. Chairs instead of benches without backrests and the lighting should be a little less bright.

Incredibly delicious with fresh herbs. Generous portions.

Friendly, tasty, good portions, great value for money.

Considering the high score reviews I have to say I was very disappointed with the beef phò here, the least flavoursome or spicy I have had. I needed to add 3 big squirts of chilli sauce to get any heat in this broth. The beef was good but the usual condiments you expect were absent. Spring rolls are good.

Nice restaurant with very tasty food! The staff very unfriendly and impolite After we asked who was responsible to file a complaint, unfortunately we were unsuccessful The very well-trained service employee lectured me with the words “You are not a queen here”!!!! I can't and don't want to put up with such insolence!!!! Until today I was under the impression that as a paying guest you were a welcome person. Customer! Given the circumstances, I will definitely not recommend this restaurant and have no hesitation in using my personal contacts for this!

Food was ok and arrived quickly. Cutting discs from the pandemic still on the tables. Creates a strange atmosphere and brings back stupid memories. Card payments only start with a minimum amount, which you can hardly reach on your own. Nobody can say why.

Wasted money! The food order was initially forgotten for over 20 minutes - when asked by another waitress, the Pho soups we ordered came - neither extra spicy as expressly ordered, only lukewarm and salty, and no drinks ordered (for which the waitress at least apologized when paying) . Not a second time!

updated review: in the past few years, cay tre has significantly improved its service while maintaining a high quality in their food. one of my favourite vietnamese restaurants ! ——— food and drink are always very good. portion sizes are appropriate, vegan options are available and good. atmosphere is nice and casual. all other aspects are inconsistent. definitely recommend for small groups (dates, etc), as service tends to be very quick. however, if you're in a big group, expect very VERY long waiting times for the food (~1 hour). staff is also inconsistent. sometimes incredibly friendly and efficient, other times slow and forget orders (again, i've experienced the former in a small group and the latter in bigger groups). all in all, a great place for small groups, but not for larger ones.

Good Pho. The other dishes are also recommended. The service is friendly.

Absolutely solid restaurant! Eat: ***** Service: **** Ambiance: *** Price: **** It was my first time there, I ordered the Com xa ot and my companion ordered the Mix Plate. The portions are a good size and I was quite full without a starter (183 cm 115 kg). The taste really surprised me. It was a dinner dance. If I really like something, I start dancing while sitting for joy. The vegetables were cooked nice and crunchy and not soft, the rice was nice and sticky so you could eat it with chopsticks and the sauce had a nice, intense flavor. Visually it was also nicely presented (see other reviews). The service is, as I have already experienced it in other Asian-run restaurants, a little different than usual, but as friendly as usual. The ambience is nothing special, but not super uncomfortable either. I definitely think the prices are okay too. approx. €37 for 2 main courses, 1 homemade soda and 1 Coke 0.3l

Leider war meine Ente nicht so wirklich frisch. Sonst ein nettes Ambiente.

Sehr leckeres Essen mit vielen frischen Zutaten - ein Geschmackserlebnis! Ich bin gerne hier und bringe gerne Freunde mit. 😊

Attentive and friendly service. Mixed atmosphere - interior design not bad, but is is l-o-u-d. Food not expensive, edible, but nothing special either. Had campylobacter after eating here; can't say whether causality or coincidence.

Essen in Ordnung, kein Highlight. Service leider nicht gastorientiert… wir kamen um 20:45 und bestellten direkt Vorspeise - Dessert, weil die Küche um 21 Uhr schließt. Um 21:30 wollten wir zu unserem Essen noch etwas trinken, da hiess es die Theke ist schon sauber, wir bekommen nichts mehr. „Netterweise“ durften wir noch ein Leitungswasser haben… Scheinbar haben sie den Umsatz nicht nötig. Um 21:55 mussten wir, als grad der letzte Löffel aufgegessen war gehen. Ich habe Verständnis für Öffnungszeiten, aber wenn man keine 10 min Spielraum hat, darf man meiner Meinung nach so spät (?) keine Bestellungen mehr annehmen. Wir haben immerhin fast 100€ bezahlt um uns total unwohl zu fühlen 😐 Schade..

Leckeres Essen und schöne Atmosphäre.

Accommodating staff and fairly-priced authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

The tofu curry at Cây Tre was excellent! The two of us stopped in for dinner without a reservation and were very pleased to get a table upstairs immediately in this crowded restaurant. Service as fast and friendly. People were sitting outside in a heated tent (smoking cigarettes). We had wine and beer with our meal.

Klare Empfehlung. Essen war sehr lecker und aufmerksamer Service; weiter so! :)

I ordered summer roll, Chả giò and Gà Xào Sả Ớt. I liked all of them and service was great.
