FLOA - vietnamese tapas in Ulm

We were at a street food event in Wiblingen on Saturday. We had banh mi, one each of pork belly and chicken. It was anything but delicious. It was unloving and tasteless. You had to hunt for the chicken and pork belly. The pork belly strips and the chicken were so dry and almost impossible to find on the bun. It seemed like they had scraped together the leftovers. It was anything but a good advertisement for the restaurant! What a shame!

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant. The food was delicious and the prices were very correct. The only surprise we had is that it is not possible to pay with any Visa or Mastercard (debit / credit) card. We had to go withdraw money…

I love the mango salad at Floa; for me, it's pure soul food. The service is usually friendly and quick, with one exception. The tables are close together, and the restaurant is nicely decorated. I highly recommend a visit, especially the mango salad.

Update: either it was a bad day or the kitchen is not what it used to be. Ordered for takeaway and the main course was ok but the starters were horribly. The summer rolls were as plain as paper and the rice paper almost not chewable and the „caramelised chicken wings“ were not as pictured and definitely not as I expected them (picture down below). So I’d think twice about ordering / eating out again for the sake of my moneys worth Good portions to share and try things out. The food tasted good, freshly made, with herbs and sauces, drink menu good as well. Over all a bit pricey but you get Influencer food in a chill ambiance ;)

Two meals, two Vietnamese cafes. Everything was excellent.

Small but nice. Nicely decorated, but it was very warm inside. The menu isn't too extensive, but it has everything your heart desires. The food came very quickly. The lychee spritzer is recommended. The prices are a bit high, but the quality, portion size, and taste are impressive. I highly recommend it. The only negative point is that they don't accept Visa cards. It would be nice if they could change that.

My experience at Floa wasn't so good. I managed to get a reservation there on a recommendation. The reservation was theoretically valid, but in practice, my table was parked in metaphysical space. The place is, to put it nicely, space-saving. Regarding the service, I can only agree with the other comments. There are often long waits, which can lead to rebellious moods, especially when you're hungry. The food itself was solid, and I actually thought the drinks were great. I can't judge the value for money because I was invited 😂

Really delicious food. All of the tapas are highly recommended. The main courses and sauces are also amazing. Top-notch service! No complaints at all. We'll be back!

Five of us came here for dinner. The ambiance is very charming, and the restaurant was very busy. The food was bland to the point of being boring. It tasted like a Swabian housewife cooking Asian food. The glass noodle salad was juicy and had a sprig of cilantro in it. The lukewarm rice noodle bowl, my absolute favorite dish at any Vietnamese restaurant, was dry, boring, and simply not good. Anyone who orders it here for the first time won't do it again. The chicken curry also tasted very boring. I didn't send the food back because I didn't want to waste the evening complaining. The service was friendly and helpful.

We went to eat hotpot at Floa on March 17, 2025. Unfortunately the service was really very bad. After a long wait without any attention, we were told which table was reserved for us. The cards then took 15 minutes to arrive, then we had to order immediately (no time to read the drinks menu). We wanted a little time to read through it, and that's what we had (another 15 minutes). After ordering, drinks and appetizers arrived quickly, as did the ingredients for the main course. Unfortunately the hotpot was disappointing. The broth was good, but rather bland and average. The selection of vegetables was good. However, there were no sauces for dipping, as is usual. There were a lot of mussels, but they were not edible. Three quarters of the mussels did not rise in the hot broth (aka not suitable for consumption). The broth drained/evaporated over time. We had to reorder because there was really only a dregs left. None of the waitresses were interested in it. Other tables also had salmon, which we missed completely. Another drink order was completely forgotten and only brought after another reminder. Overall, the overall picture with service and food was rather disappointing. Especially for the price of €40 per person.

I was here for the first time because a friend invited me there and I have to say that the food is really delicious and super authentic. Next time I'll come hungry so I can eat more. The glass noodle salad is the burner. Unfortunately, I don't like the atmosphere that much and it seems somehow uncomfortable. But I'll still come back ❤️

Ordered Pho for almost €20, unfortunately the broth tastes like nothing. Unfortunately it really doesn't work at all.

Very tasty and affordable. Be sure to reserve in advance, very small and always full.

Great concept. Tapas or whole dishes. All very tasty Vietnamese. Beautiful location and very friendly service.

Tasted great, great staff, highly recommended 😊

Very tasty food! You can taste the freshness and the selection of good products! Absolutely recommended! The service is fast, friendly and accommodating! Definitely worth a visit!

Really nice place. Nicely decorated, you really feel comfortable in the atmosphere. Service was always nice and ready when you needed something. I like it! I also found it positive that we got a nice, small and clean menu. Prices are within the usual range. Food was beautifully prepared. As standard there are only chopsticks (which I personally think is good) but you are also asked directly whether you need cutlery. However, I was missing something in terms of taste. In my opinion, this is the point with potential for improvement and which falls short of the rest of the value. But we will come back and try something different from the menu (tapas).

Really tasty, Euro-Viet goes well, the ambience is ok, a bit cold, modern

We tried the tapas and were thrilled. Everything is incredibly tasty and friendly service too!

The vegetarian tapas platter for 2 people tasted good, but a bit small for the price (e.g. only one portion of rice for 2 people). Lychee spritzer diluted too much. The desserts are very tasty!

I now order the fried sirloin steak strips with onions almost every Sunday. It's somehow become my little Sunday tradition. The dish is very simple but damn good. The quality of the ingredients is good and everything comes together perfectly.

Small, nice restaurant. The tables are quite close to each other, but that's ok. The food was good and the quantity was more than sufficient.

We were here for dinner today, we liked the food, the portions were more than enough (for us 😅), the prices were ok too.

Not my taste but everything was ok.

Very friendly service, delicious food, generous portions. Our daughter praises the spring rolls. Today we had a tapas platter that tasted excellent.

Unique in Ulm. No comparison to other Asian restaurants. The FLOA stands for itself and is simply great. Nice service and outstanding cuisine 5*

Very nice service, fresh ingredients and a diverse selection on the menu.

Very, very tasty food and very friendly service. Sitting outside on the main street wasn't quite ideal. Nevertheless, I would go back at any time, it was just too delicious.

Service was nice but very slow. The food simply has no sophistication. There is Korean in almost everywhere. No sharpness at all. Unfortunately it's just not for me. Nevertheless, good luck!

We spontaneously had dinner here last night and were very satisfied. The service was very friendly. The drinks were delicious and the food was very good. Only the fried zucchini and summer rolls in the platter for 2 were a bit disappointing. The zucchini were so thick that they tasted almost raw and super watery and unfortunately there was no tofu in the summer rolls. Otherwise everything was great and we would love to come back.

The two of us ate here on Sunday. Nice little restaurant. Service was very accommodating. Food was very varied and tasty. Gladly again.

Very good food and friendly staff.

Very friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Absolute recommendation.

Lassen Sie sich nicht von der imbissartigen Einrichtung täuschen: sehr feine authentische Vorspeisen , freundliche Bedienung. Die hausgemachten alkoholfreien Cocktails sind an einem heißen Tag unbedingt zu empfehlen! Lage sehr zentral mit guten Parkmöglichkeiten.

Super leckeres Essen, tolles Personal. Wenn wir wieder in der Nähe sind, kommen wir gerne wieder! Macht bitte weiter so

Please bring your own container if you order food to go. Ordered a pho and a curry - both expired. The curry was basically gone - the rest tasted great as always.

The food was very tasty, the drinks came very quickly and so did the tapas, the service was very friendly, the prices were okay

Today is 2024 and there is no option to pay by Visa, nor MasterCard. Sorry guys, you are totally out of the era.

Clear recommendation! We've been there several times and I have to say the food has been great every time. You can put together something from various tapas, order a platter to share or choose another main course. Online reservation is also easy and is recommended ;) Unfortunately, the outside area is directly on a busy street

The food is super delicious. It's expensive but definitely worth the money

Delicious, Europeanized Viet cuisine. Lots of vegan options too. Service very friendly and quick. Ambience very pleasant, chairs a bit unsuitable for longer evenings

It's been a long time since I've had a dish that reminded me of my trip to China. Delicious, authentic Asian food, highly recommended!

Very nice atmosphere, friendly young people in service. Are spontaneous even without reservation. Food quality very very good. Tapas bowls are very well filled.

I wasn't impressed with the food, but it was a bit expensive.

They cancel already given orders. I understand setting the store to not accept orders, but cancelling already accepted order is intolerable!

Food was good, price performance was ok, ambience could be more comfortable, food was only lukewarm.

Very good food, great service who even spontaneously gave us a good table. Gladly again 😊

All drinks and food are lovingly prepared and beautifully served. I can particularly recommend the vegan dumplings. But the flat rice noodles with tofu and the jasmine tea were also very tasty.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The food was good, the sauce was a bit over-seasoned and the small dumplings were unfortunately a bit too cold (even after they came for the second time). but the taste was good. Let's see on our next visit

Very good Vietnamese tapas and the main courses are to die for. Our first but certainly not last visit, top recommendation

Very tasty food, the duck bao tacos were really good and the waitresses are very friendly and accommodating

Great food, nice people and great food. Tapas are perfect and there are many options. Ideally you take some rice with them as some have quite a lot of yummy wasted sauce otherwise.

Mega delicious food and really nice staff. Sweet little guest room. Unfortunately, in summer you can only sit outside directly on the main street.

We ordered online. I stated in the order that we didn't want coriander (see picture), we don't like it or I don't tolerate it well. Unfortunately, this advice was not heeded. I was allowed to throw away the top layer first. The dishes themselves taste good, but unfortunately a lot of onions are mixed into the food (see picture), which makes the food inedible. Given the prices, that really shouldn't be the case. Am disappointed.

Very friendly and fast service and the tapas were all very good! Unfortunately the curry was missing a bit of salt but otherwise there was really nothing to complain about.

Absolute must! Fresh Vietnamese tapas, very tasty. Reservation required. Always a recommendation.

Der Service war top, wir hatten einen super netten Kellner. Das Essen ist gut, jedoch sind die Preise meiner Meinung nach nicht wirklich gerechtfertigt.

Man fühlt sich willkommen wird sofort beachtet und dies sehr freundlich . Sehr leckeres Essen .. was nach wie vor die Qualität hält .. Einfach Hingehen und Probieren ... Einziger Störfaktor .Die ständig durchlaufenden Lieferandofahrer. Bringt viel Unruhe rein ,passt so garnicht ins Ambiente und wertet die schöne Esssenskultur ab... Dann vielleicht ein Seiteneingang wählen .

Hallo liebes FLOA Team. Wir hatten gestern Abend unsere Weihnachtsfeier🎄bei euch. Es war einfach MEGA!!!🧡Vom Essen bis über den Service und das Ambiente, es war alles einsame Spitze. Wir waren 30 Leute und es haben alle zur gleichen Zeit , das Trinken und Essen bekommen. Wir hatten alle 3 TAPAS Platten jeweils 4 mal. Einfach lecker!😋 Viele kannten euch noch nicht aber ich habe nur positive Rückmeldung bekommen. Alle waren sehr zufrieden und kommen bald wieder.😊Vielen vielen Dank!!! Bis auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen.

Prima Burger, optisch auch sehr ansprechend.

The food was really good and the service was excellent and friendly. A must visit if you like Vietnamese!

Sehr nette Bedienung, Qualität des Essens gut, leider fehlte der letzte Pfiff, der das Essen unvergesslich macht.

Am besten reservieren, gerade am Wochenende. Wir haben uns eine Platte für 2 Leute bestellt, der Preis lag bei 50 Euro, leider hat die Menge nicht gereicht. Man sollte bei grossen Hunger noch 1 bis 2 weitere dishes bestellen. Die Soße der Chicken wings war mehr eine Bratensoße, die sehr Ingwer lustig war. Insgesamt 4/5. Die Bedienung wirkte leicht genervt.

Sind nun schon zum dritten Mal hier gewesen. Immer ausgesprochen lecker, unsere Favoriten sind der knusprige Schweinebauch und die Gua Bao Tacos.... Super freundliches und aufmerksames Personal.

Sehr sehr lecker, bitte macht so weiter

Bei UberEats bestellt; war richtig lecker!

Das Lokal und der Service waren Spitze. Aber 50 € für die Platte für 2 Personen, das ist stark übertrieben, zumal alles aus der Fritti und Tiefkühlprodukte sind. Mussten keine 10 Min. auf unser Essen warten, was für Tiefkühl spricht. Die Garnelen waren auch keine echten. Ich finde den Preis für 50 € nicht gerechtfertigt.

Sehr lecker essen. Tolle Tapas Auswahl und das Essen Kam auch sehr zügig. Freundliche Kellner und super Essen, was will man mehr 😀

Sehr cooles Konzept mit schön angerichtetem Essen. Wir haben uns zu sechst mehrere Tapas geteilt und konnten so viel verschiedenes Essen probieren. Auch für Vegetarier:innen war genug Auswahl dabei. Das Service-Personal hätte etwas öfter am Tisch vorbei kommen können.

Absolute Empfehlung. Wahnsinnig leckere "Tapas" und Hauptgerichte. Tolle Veggie-Auswahl. Empfehlung: gebratene Reisbandnudeln und FLOAs Favorit.

Essen war wie gewohnt mega lecker 😋 Das gesamte Team ist sehr freundlich Immer wieder ein Besuch wert

Hier passt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis super. Ich hatte das Curry und der Teller war sehr groß und voll. Zudem hat es super geschmeckt. Es gibt einige vegetarische oder auch vegane Gerichte. So ziemlich jede Hauptspeise kann man sich auch mit Tofu anstatt Fleisch bestellen. Da ist für jeden etwas dabei. Auch die Bedienungen waren alle sehr freundlich. Wir kamen Freitag Abend spontan kurz nach Öffnungszeit rein und haben so auch ohne Reservierung noch einen Tisch bekommen.

Wir haben uns bei hervorragendem Service und nettem Ambiente einmal durch die vietnamesische Tapasauswahl geschlemmt und waren in jeglicher Hinsicht begeistert.

Ich war für ein Abendessen vor Ort. Als Vorspeise wählte ich den Glasnudelsalat mit Garnelen zu 10,50 Euro. Dieser war geschmacklich ganz in Ordnung. Leider wurde eine zu kleine Schüssel und zu viel Dressing verwendet. Der Salat schwamm quasi darin und war sehr schnell matschig. Als Hauptgericht wählte ich das Ha Long Curry mit Hühnchen für 13,90 Euro. Das war ok, das Curry aber nur durchschnittlich im Geschmack. Curry und Reis werden zusammen auf einem Teller serviert. Leider befand sich in meinem Essen ein sehr langes Haar, dass ich ekligerweise zu spät bemerkte und aus meinem Mund entfernen musste.... Keine Empfehlung

Habe selten so gut gegessen! Wir hatten die vegetarische Platte für 2 (welche es auch vegan gibt auf Anfrage) und alles war super lecker!

Service war schnell, freundlich und aufmerksam. Essen sehr gut. Ambiente etwas karg und das Essen deutlich teurer als bei unserem Stammvietnamesen. Alles in allem zu empfehlen.

Tolles Essen, freundlicher Service. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt :)

Fusion Yes, but low taste. Had 5 dishes and two dessert. Dessert was best. Every dish serves seperately, Vegetarian Mango Salad is like a normal Mixed Salad with Mango Stripes, Summerroll with Prawns tastes too much of watery Iceberg Sallad, Chicken with Peanutsauce was ok, but nothing special and Pork Belly was tasty, but crust just 3mm. So nothing special, but they could be so much better if tastes and spices would be better combined. Also it is not possible to pay with Master/Visacard due to high cost. Difficult to pay for us as tourists. Back to Stoneage.

Ausgezeichnetes Essen. Tolles Ambiente.

War dort bereits öfters zum Mittagessen. Das Essen ist super lecker, der Service freundlich und genau passend. Auf Extrawünsche wird eingegangen. Es passt rundum einfach sehr gut und ich gehe immer wieder gerne hin.

Authentisch und sehr gut schmecken tut das hier. Muss unbedingt besucht werden wenn man thailändisch essen will.

Interessantes Konzept, Frisches geschmackvollen asiatisches, sorry, vietnamesisches :-) Essen, leckere homemade Limonaden, Ambiente einfach, schlicht (könnte bequemer sein), OK. Und das wichtigste... ganz nette zuvorkommender Service. Einfach mal was anderes, frisches erleben? Dann bist du hier richtig? Empfehlung: Glasnudelsalat

Leider viel zu übertreuert bei minderwertiger Qualität. Die Tapasplatte fuer 40€ ist schon ein starkes Stück. Bei der Pho haben mir die typischen Gewürze (Sternanis, Cardamom und Zimt gefehlt), hat leider eher nach einer Instantbrühe geschmeckt und das Rindfleisch war Gummihaft, aber nicht zäh. Das FLOA Getränk war lecker, aber auch hier für etwas Maracujasirup und Lycheesaft keine 6,50€ wert. BENJO war eher nicht unser Fall. Einrichtung ganz nett und Service sehr freundlich ! Edit: Danke fuer die Rückmeldung. Aber da auch ich aus dem Norden komme, kann ich nur sagen, dass Cardamom sehr wohl reingehört. So habe ich es von meiner Familie „vererbt“ bekommen und so wird es auch in Vietnam gemacht.

Essen ist lecker und der Service ist super toll! Draußen sind die Sitzplätze begrenzt und direkt an der Straße, aber dafür liegt es ziemlich zentral. Drinnen sitzt man ziemlich gedrückt, dadurch lässt es sich aber dann super mit dem Nebentischs quatschten ;)

Sehr kleines Restaurant Essen super mit überaus sehr kompetentes freundliches Personal Sind zwar ein paar Tische zum draußen sitzen sind aber genau an der Strasse

Essen lecker mit guter Auswahl, Service freundlich, charmant, aber etwas unerfahren. Zahlung mit EC-Karte sowie Kreditkarte nicht möglich, Servicepersonal überfordert und von Geschäftsleitung alleine gelassen. Freitagabend Bestellung nur bis 21.30h möglich und ab 22h Restaurant geschlossen, wir wurden quasi hinauskomplimentiert. Solche Sachen sollte klarer kommuniziert werden - auch betr Barzahlung. Schade, so wird das Lokal kaum Erfolg haben..

I'm always suspicious if the option of western cutlery is not offered. As we messed up the table, balancing wobbly bits of our meal with inexpert fingers, I realised that, in fact, the food tasted of very little. Few of the wonderful tastes of the orient, save soy sauce. The food was underwhelming. The spare ribs were poor, fibrous and unappetising, much more bone than meat. Some of the (very few) squid pieces that could be found lurking under the under-cooked red pepper were decidedly rubbery. Half-cooked onion slices and (ditto) tomato could have been from anything, anywhere. But we were too busy being incapable of using chopsticks to notice! Then, when we came to pay.... oh, our system only accepts German credit cards. Really? In 2022?? Surely that's a scam? I offered to wash up.....! Fortunately I carry enough cash, but I made my protest. It's the staff I feel sorry for, really, but shan't darken the doors of a FLOA in the near future.
