El Greco in Preußisch Oldendorf

Having recently moved to northern Germany I have been seeking out restaurants that sell something other than sausages and beer or Döner kebab. This restauant was recommended to me by some locals and being desperate for some new food I gave it a try today. It bills itself as a Vietnamese restaurant but doesn't even have Pho on the menu. Seems to try to be all things asian to all people. I opted for a wonton soup for openers. Small bowl of soup, average clear stock. Some small mushroom slices, two pieces of broccoli that still had a bit of crunch and three wontons. The wontons were large (two bites each) and filled with some sort of white ground meat mixture. It was better than I had expected. Next came the fried noodles with pork. The was a large portion with plenty of meat slices, carrots, onions and cabbage. One unanticipated plus was the presence of what Cantonese call "wok heh" (often translated as "breath of the wok"). A flavor derived from the food contacting a VERY hot wok. That was a plus. The noodles looked a lot like spaghetti and were cooked al dente - another plus. In summary this place probably as good as can be expected in this area. I'll go back again when I'm needing something Asian like.

We came without a reservation, and even though it was pretty full, they still found us a spot quickly. The pizza was really delicious - both the dough and the toppings were plentiful and well balanced. The staff was very friendly and the prices are really fair. We'll definitely be back!

Always great, we love being there and are always very satisfied. Very good price-performance ratio. Registration is safe as weekends are usually fully booked.

Unfortunately a complete disappointment. Unfortunately, that was the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. My husband had the duck which was almost entirely fat. He tried a bite and stopped eating. I was a little more lucky and had a few edible pieces of meat on my plate, but halfway through I was done eating too. The prices border on outrageous. We are from Hamburg so used to eating out is expensive. We were there with 2 children and paid 94 euros. Unfortunately that's not ok for what we got. When I asked the service person about it, the answer I got was: We don't feed the ducks. Since I didn't feel like getting into trouble that day, I accepted it. Maybe we were just unlucky that day and it wasn't the case otherwise.

Do not be disturbed by: “Permanently closed” The restaurant has a new owner and is open. The pizza 🍕 and pasta 🍝 were very tasty. Staff attentive and friendly. Highly recommend the bottle of Primitivo 🤗 We'd love to come back!
