Co Thao Restaurant in München

DANGER! We had a reservation through TheFork, but the restaurant is currently closed (perhaps permanently). There is no sign on the door etc.

Unfortunately a disappointing experience. I made a reservation through The Fork yesterday and made a special trip to the restaurant - only to find it was closed! There was no information about it on The Fork, Google or the restaurant's website. It's a shame and annoying because I could have saved myself the journey. Better communication is urgently needed!

Absolutely amazing food! A vegetarian friend of mine recommended this place, and I have to say, we both enjoyed our meal to the fullest! Her udun with tofu was excellent, and my Japanese crispy chicken was just divine! It's easily one of the best crispy chickens I've had in my life! The gyoza filled with shrimp was also outstanding! The overall experience was delightful, and I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food and friendly atmosphere.

The food was delicious, I can recommend it. The place wasn't crowded, and our table wasn't the only one complaining about the long wait. We got our food earlier than the group that waited significantly longer. My starter arrived later than the main course and was mixed up. Then it went back to the kitchen and never came back. I even canceled the starter because we had already finished eating and drinking. Then we had to wait forever again to pay. I got the feeling the staff had no desire to do anything, especially not to earn tips. It's a shame. It was really nice inside.

Terrible the place, the personnel and the total experience. 1h wait for 4 average and very small main courses. Very cheap in serving the food as well they served half beer in the glasses. I spent 48 euro for 2 helles, 1 starter (little) 1 main (little).

Price/performance is not right. The taste is rather bland and lacks finesse. Far too expensive for that. Service not friendly, advice on choosing dishes is non-existent. Ambiance OK.

We wanted to order apperitives, but since the bartender was supposedly sick, they could only offer us Apperol Spritz. For €8.50 a pre-mixed bottle is a disgrace. The service wasn't particularly friendly and the waiter smelled of sweat and cigarettes. The food was OK, but the prices were exorbitant for the quality. Conclusion: there are better restaurants for Asian food in Munich

I have celiac disease and can't eat gluten. I ordered grilled squid with rice and vegetables, guaranteed gluten free according to the allergen menu and staff. Squid comes with a strange sauce, I ask what sauce it is: oyster sauce, which I think is... contains gluten. So the chef takes my plate and after 5 minutes brings me back the same plate and says it is gluten free. I try it and immediately notice that something is wrong. I ask for the second time: so this time the boss comes and says they have remade the dish. “In just 5 minutes?” I ask. No, they only changed the vegetables, the squid was the same including the oyster sauce (even if the sauce is “only at the bottom” as the boss said). I'm sorry, but you should be honest with your guests. This is not how you deal with allergies. We will no longer be your guests.

Co Thao is located in the heart of Haidhausen near Bordeuxplatz. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and also offers a barbecue garden in summer. The price of the restaurant is quite high even for Munich, which I can't fully understand. The vegan food selection is very appealing. The food was served quickly and wasn't bad either. However, it has to be said clearly that in terms of cuisine it can hardly keep up with most other similar restaurants. It's a bit disappointing, especially given the price. The service was very friendly and attentive. Service 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 vegan selection 4/5 Taste 3.5/5 Price 2/5

Can't say. Made reservation, got confirmation, turned up, was shut. Other folk also looking through the window for signs of life.

Ordered a main course online for €20, which should be considered a small starter. Far too little food for so much money. Not even remotely full. The taste is also rather so-so

Very tasty, delicious ramen soup, delicious turmeric tea, fair prices and very friendly, attentive and good-humored service

We went extra early on a Friday evening, but the service was still really bad! Rarely seen such careless staff. Unfortunately, we didn't get our wine despite ordering it several times, the food was lukewarm (and kimchi was out again...some people had already complained about that here). We found the menu to be misleadingly printed with the choice of dishes. The waiter spoke neither German nor English well. The restaurant has very tight seating, the middle tables only have a bench on one side without a backrest, not comfortable for eating. Unfortunately, the walls of the women's toilet were very dirty and there were no paper towels. So unfortunately no recommendation and no further visit.

The food was very tasty and price wise good. The interior of the restaurant is also lovely and modern. The only confusing bit is that they bring you two menus and you can order from the restaurant next door as well.

Can't recommend the place. Customer friendliness and service were subpar. Prices are clearly too high for the quality. My last visit as a guest.

Very nice restaurant. Good service, nice and polite waiter, knows his business. Delicious food and beautiful presentation. The atmosphere is elegant and cozy, it's nice to be in such an interior, and it's important to note that the chairs are very comfortable. I think the place is great for evening meetings with friends and for dates.

The restaurant caught our eye as we walked through town. We liked sushi and ramen. We were in the restaurant early in the evening, around 6:30 p.m., and there were two other guests there. Very nicely decorated restaurant with small tables, nice decorations and candles on the tables. The waiter was with us very quickly and brought us the menu. Unfortunately there has been no sushi in the restaurant for some time. (This should be changed on the outside.) The website also shows a lot of sushi! Okay, no problem, we choose fried beef with kimchi. “Message from the kitchen”: Unfortunately, kimchi is out! (The restaurant has only just opened.) Okay, ordered with curry. The taste of the food was okay and the presentation was also very nice. Unfortunately, I don't find the price-performance ratio very balanced. Charging €11 for three baked wontons is a bit excessive. A toilet roll as a towel dispenser in the toilet then completes the whole thing. Conclusion: The taste of the food was ok but nothing more. Priced a bit too high.

The restaurant's decor is nice, but the service is incredibly bad. We waited a long time for drinks and not all of the main courses were brought at the same time. Some of them only came when the rest had almost finished eating. The farmer's bowl is tasteless and not at all appropriate for the price of €20.

Unfortunately very poor service, even if the food tastes delicious. The prices are therefore not at all appropriate because you don't really feel comfortable.

Very, very tasty Vietnamese food, super nice shop and good service. Simply heavenly 🙌🏻

The food was tasty but that’s it with the positive things. The service was sloppy, confused, confusing and unsettling for the clients. The waiters put all the effort but they are all beginners and the result is a disaster. Also overpriced. Will not go back.

Good food. Service unusually slow though.

The service was disastrous. We waited over 1 hour for our aperitif. Nobody came to order the food. We then went somewhere else to eat.

We were there on a cozy evening and the food exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended

Ordered food to pick up, price/performance ratio is absolutely not justified. For 3 dumplings 10€, 3 wontons 10€, for a rather poor bun just under 20€, short on ingredients, lots of noodles, few extras, portion size also very small. It's a shame, I would have expected more given the previous reviews.

In the past, the food was always good and the service was friendly. Today the waiter probably deliberately ignored us, probably because we changed our ways. After others who came after us were served first, even though we had been wanting to order for 10 minutes, we left. Was the last time for us. I will no longer recommend Co Thao.

Food very good, great selection for vegans. Unfortunately, the staff isn't particularly on their toes, especially when there's a lot going on.

Incredibly slow service. No proactivity at all

The food is always delicious, but I won't go there again. The service was really bad. Even though the restaurant was quite empty, we weren't served well. Drinks were empty without us being able to order anything new, empty plates were not put away. We had to look for an employee to pay. The place is not cheap. That's not worth the money to me. If it doesn't bother you: the food is really tasty. The Hue soup is a highlight in terms of taste.

Unfortunately, I initially had to wait about 2.5 hours for my order. Since I ordered around lunchtime, I was aware that there might be a delay. Because of the many positive reviews, I still had high expectations. When the order finally arrived, the delivery person commented unclearly: "I don't know what that's supposed to be, but that's part of it." In addition, my sparkling water was delivered in a cup that was poorly sealed with a plastic bag; For details see attached image. Additionally, the order delivered was incorrect. Thank you very much, but unfortunately I was disappointed. Conclusion: The prices are high, the portions are small and the packaging methods are unconventional. Unfortunately for me this was the first and last time.

A good address to eat. Authentic Vietnamese food in nice atmosphere. Cooperation of the restaurant with the neighbor so option to have Sushi too. If summer, there is more space thanks to the terrace; if not it is better to reserve.

Unfortunately no recommendation. Unless you like to wait and take care of the napkins and cutlery yourself… For two, Friday evening, food and drinks. The service was chaotic, you have to compete for the waiters' attention. Even though it wasn't packed, we waited 15 minutes for the drinks and then a full hour for the food. Repeated inquiries were noticed but nothing changed. We ordered dumplings as a starter and a soup with chicken. In the end only the soup came, unfortunately not as ordered but with tofu. Although apologies were made, there was a lack of service thought at the front and back. When we ordered the bill they were definitely ready to charge us in full. When asked, the table water was taken off the bill. We ask the “boss”? what has changed since we had eaten well here the year before with solid service and the answer was “new staff, new team in the kitchen.” I'm not sorry, thanks for the feedback or a nightcap. Disappointing all around, but thank God Munich has enough good restaurants to choose from.

Incredibly delicious! Beautiful ambience!

The three of us had dinner there at 6 p.m. and the place was still very empty. The food is pretty tasty and there is something for everyone, but it is very, very expensive for Haidhausen. Although only 2 tables were occupied, there was negligible service from the two waitresses and it was a bit cold in the restaurant

Sevr delicious and high quality food. The portions could do with something though to be taller. Pleasant atmosphere. The service was very friendly and accommodating.

During our walk in the French quarter of Munich, a very good Asian restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere

The restaurant is really beautiful and the outdoor area is simply sensational in summer. The food is good, although not outstanding. But unfortunately, on our last visit there was only one young waitress in the entire store. On the one hand, she was rarely seen and when she was present in the restaurant you had to hope to be seen. Sorry, given the prices you can at least expect an employee to be present 🥴

Well… communication with the Asian waitress was slow and tedious. Instead of the Asahi beer we ordered, there was wheat beer in an Asahi glass 😂 and instead of ginger ale, ginger beer was brought. The dumplings we ordered tasted burnt. The two soups were ok, the pasta inserts were old and hard.

We actually wanted to avoid the restaurant because it was our second living room, the NOMIYA 20 years old. But Co Thao can't help it. So we gave the operator's third restaurant (after Thao and Xin Chao - all in Haidhausen) a chance. Conclusion: As in Thao and Xin Chao, average food is trimmed up to be noble and sold at a high price. In addition, friendly but third-class service. And when the softshell crap for €13.90 (Magentratzerl) comes half cold and not very crispy, you just want to cry. We haven't missed NOMIYA more desperately in a long time. Nothing against high prices! But then not for average, but for excellent food. Unfortunately that doesn't exist here!

Essen absolut überteuert, Service miserabel, Essen entspricht nicht dem, was in der Karte steht, auch werden Fragen oder Reklamationen nicht gehört und entsprechend behandelt; auf die Frage, ob man bitte den Chef sprechen könne, hieß es, man müsse mal nachsehen, ob er da sei..... nur als Hinweis, das Restaurant ist sehr klein, also sollte man wissen, ob der Chef da ist, oder? auch kam dann keiner mehr mit einer Antwort oder Unterstützung__ Der extreme Fettgeruch beim Betreten des Restaurants (ich würde es eher Imbiss nennen!) bestätigte sich beim Geschmack des Essens .... Einzig positiver Punkt ist das Ambiente ...

As always, the food was freshly prepared and very good. Nice atmosphere and very friendly, if not entirely perfect, service. Since it was New Year's Eve, the owner even bought champagne. The prices are a bit high for the type of restaurant, but the positive impression outweighs it.

Gebratener Tunfisch komplett durchgebraten und trocken. Espresso wird kalt serviert und Rotwein gibt es nicht. Service langsam, unmotiviert und keinerlei Freundlichkeit. Schade, dieses Restaurant war früher sehr empfehlenswert, aber nun würde ich es niemandem mehr empfehlen. Preis Leistung stimmt absolut nicht.

Sehr hübsches und stylishes Restaurant, mit Flamingotapete und geblümten Sesselchen, alles topp! Das Essen ist lecker (in meiner Wahrnehmung hat es allerdings etwas nachgelassen), die Bedienung freundlich und schnell. Mir gefaellts.

Das Restaurant hat ein sehr schönes Ambiente aber es ist schon beengt. Das Personal ist freundlich, aber hat vom bedienen keine Ahnung. Das Essen ist wirklich lecker und vor allem das Sushi kann ich empfehlen.

Wunderschön hier im Sommer an einem der Tische an den geöffneten Türen zum Außenbereich zu sitzen, und neben köstlichem Essen und Tees und Gesprächen den Passanten zuzusehen.

Sehr gemütliches kleines Restaurant, gutes Angebot und außergewöhnlich freundliche Bedienungen.

Das Co Thao Restaurant ist wirklich bemerkenswert und ich kann meine Wertschätzung nicht genug zum Ausdruck bringen! Das Restaurant bietet eine abwechslungsreiche Speisekarte mit einer Auswahl an köstlichen Gerichten und einer großen Auswahl an Getränken. Ganz gleich, ob Sie mit Kindern speisen, Vegetarier sind oder ernährungsbedingte Einschränkungen haben, Sie werden vietnamesische Gerichte entdecken, die Ihren Bedürfnissen gerecht werden.

Dieser Ort ist wirklich atemberaubend. Die Einrichtung ist wunderschön gestaltet und schafft eine schöne Atmosphäre. Kommen wir nun zum Essen – absolut fantastisch. Es ist nicht nur lecker; Außerdem ist es wunderbar knusprig und unglaublich frisch. Und Sie müssen ihre Getränke probieren. Der frische Minztee mit Orange und Ingwer ist ein absoluter Gewinner. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch. Co Thao Restaurant, wir sehen uns wieder!

Co Thao Restaurant für ein sehr leckeres Essen! Das Essen ist köstlich und bietet viele Optionen auf der Speisekarte, darunter gegrilltes Fleisch, Meeresfrüchte, Fisch und vegetarische Gerichte. Die Umgebung ist wirklich toll! Der Service ist gut und der Preis ist angemessen.

Comida bien presentada pero fría y sosa. Decoración muy agradable.

Was für ein tolles und einzigartiges Restaurant! Die Architektur im Inneren ist unglaublich, der Service des Personals ist hervorragend und das Essen ist fantastisch! Meine Frau und ich haben hier zu Abend gegessen und es war genau das, was wir uns bei unserem Besuch erhofft hatten. Ich kann das Co Thao Restaurant nur wärmstens empfehlen!

You might think it is incredible vegan Asian food which it is BUT… if you are a carnivore they also got you

Had vegan Pho, was surprised by how good it is. Good vibes.

Sehr gutes Essen, top Bedienung und sehr freundlich. Gehobene Preise.

Ich war heute Abend alleine in diesem Restaurant:, es war göttlich, das Essen war super lecker die Bedienung total freundlich. Man wird wirklich behandelt wie ein König hier, sehr feines Essen und obwohl ich so viel bestellt hatte und danach ein Aperol Spritz habe ich nicht einmal viel bezahlt, dann ein wunderschönes Platz am Fenster. Es war ein sehr schöner Abend mit mir selber und mit dieser tollen Truppe kann ich sehr weiter empfehlen. Die Toiletten sehr sauber, insgesamt ein sehr sauberes Restaurant und sehr fein.

service was perfect, restaurant looked just as good as on the pictures, restaurant was easy to find and food so tasty 🥰 it was very calm atmosphere in there which is a plus. we will definitely come back!

Das Essen ist immer hervorragend! Mein persönliches Highlight ist die Jakobsmuschel als Vorspeise. Definitiv gibt es hier einige Gerichte, die man bei anderen asiatischen Restaurants nicht sehen wird.

Sushi solide, Vorspeisen ganz gut, aber die Hauptgerichte neben Sushi eher enttäuschend. Die Preise sind leider viel zu überzogen!!

Super leckeres Essen und toller Service. Das Co Thao ist Tür an Tür mit dem Jun und jedes der beiden Restaurants hat Seine Spezialitäten und sie haben zwei geteilte Menü-Karten zusammen. Die Preise sind relativ hoch aber das Sushi/Essen ist sehr lecker und empfehlenswert. Gerne wieder :)

Very delicious, great experience all around!

Insgesamt lecker, aber leider etwas teuer. 18,90 Eur für eine einfache Bauernschale mit Frühlingsrollen finde ich zu teuer. Das Curry war lecker und preislich ok. Die Getränkeauswahl ist sehr groß, mit ein paar ausgefallen Angeboten 😊 Auch wenn viele Bedienungen da waren wurden wir nur nach einigem Nachfragen abkassiert.

The interior is nice and the food quite good, although very expensive for the size. But god was the service slow. It took 45min for the starter and another 45 min for the main dishes. Really nice people working there but just too many outside tables.

Ein tolles vietnamesisches Restaurant mit asiatischen Gerichten. Der Raum ist warm, der Geschmack des Essens ist sehr frisch, eine Erfahrung wert!

Sehr empfehlenswert! Authentische leckere Ramen.

Very cosy atmosphere. Lovely interior. Staff really friendly and attentive. The food was nothing delicious but tasty. The bread crumbs they used to deep fry shrimps were a bit too big for my taste but other than that it was good.

Tolles Ambiente und freundlicher, sehr bemühter Service. Super Auswahl auch an etwas außergewöhnlicheren Speisen, insbesondere für Veganer. Hier weiß man auch was Vegan tatsächlich bedeutet, das ist nicht überall so bzgl. des Einsatzes von Fisch- oder Austernsoße. Leckere Pho, auch auf Sonderwünsche wird eingegangen. Wir kommen gerne öfter! :)

Essen schmeckt gut. Kleine Portion. Langsamer bedient

Excellent food. Staff a bit stressed but friendly. Lots of locals eating here. Come early or book a table. Would eat again for sure.

Nettes kleines Lokal mit ausgezeichneter essensqualität. Liebevoll eingerichtet und auch abgerichtet. Highlite war unter anderem auch das Tegernseeer Bier im angemessenen gekühlten Steinkrug👍

Wir waren mit einer 10er Gruppe dort und hatten geniales Essen und einen tollen Abend. Qualität des Essens ist meiner Meinung nach sehr hoch, besonders der Fisch (Sushi) ist frisch und von hoher Qualität. Vorspeise, Hauptgericht und Nachspeise, alles top. Service war sehr aufmerksam.

The inside of the restaurant is quite cute. There’s a good choice of vegan options. We took some appetizers to share: the food was ok, however definitely overpriced for the small portions that you get. It was nice to stop by once, but there are better places in Munich.

Nichts zu beanstanden!! Wunderbares Essen. Service wirklich sehr gut. Wir waren draußen gesessen, der Innenraum war allerdings sichtbar schön.

Essen prinzipiell gut und kreativ, nett dekoriert. Bedienung jedoch unfreundlich, gereizt und stressig, noch nicht leere Getränke abgeräumt, hohen Preis kann ich im Nachhinein nicht nachvollziehen, evtl. wurde zu viel berechnet. Portionen klein, Hauptgerichte kamen zeitlich stark versetzt.

Das Restaurant ist sehr ansprechend eingerichtet, am Abend ist es gut besucht. Die Karte bietet eine gute Auswahl asiatischer Speißen, ich kann meinen gegrillten Lachs mit Teriyaki nur loben. Der Service war sehr freunlich und flott, obwohl das Restaurant bis zum letzten Platz gefüllt war. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist auf jeden Fall in Ordnung.
