JACK GLOCKENBACH Vietnamesisches Restaurant München Tages Bar in München

Vietnamese restaurant at Sendlinger Tor. Large selection of food and drinks and friendly service. Normal prices. Nice ambience. Reservation is recommended, otherwise you may have to leave without having accomplished anything.

Good service. Delicious food. Nice atmosphere

Little space, very rude staff, food was expensive and more floral garnish than real food. The taste is okay, but nothing special, but I can do without the fly in the ointment. “Today only cash payment” surprised me a bit.

The food is solid but for the price it doesn't match the value for money. In terms of taste, you can get much more sophisticated food at cheaper prices in other Asian restaurants. The whole atmosphere was very uncomfortable. The door was constantly opened wide by the waiters, so it was super cold inside and drafty. The request to close the door was simply ignored. Overall the service was very poor. At first we were constantly asked what we wanted to order, even though we were obviously still studying the menu. Afterwards you were skillfully ignored and had to go to the counter to pay.

We had a good time, good food and good service! Nice place!

The ambience is beautiful and I have to say when eating it you could tell that it was prepared with love. I will definitely come here more often!

Good cocktails and very tasty food, we liked the ambience too! A really nice evening!

Very good food. Great drinks! Absolute recommendation.

Very (!) good Vietnamese food, but one star deducted because of the sparse portions for the very high price. However, the taste and quality are really top (even if I don't understand why parsley is used as a garnish in a Vietnamese restaurant). Service was a bit understaffed and an order was forgotten, which I then re-ordered from another colleague. The preparation of the food was also on the longer side at just under 30 minutes. The restaurant is comfortable, but cramped and sometimes very noisy when full.

We reserved online for 11 people. We confirmed the reservation again by phone and still didn't get a seat.

Large selection of food, including on the lunch menu, dishes very tasty, visually very appealing. Anyone who has eaten here once will always come back. An absolute recommendation.

Unfortunately a bad experience, we reserved well in advance and even had the reservation confirmed by phone today on the day of the reservation (for 11 people) and when we were there we didn't get a table because there was no reservation in the system.

Absolute disaster! We reserved weeks in advance - with confirmation and telephone reassurance on the day of the reservation and after arriving at the restaurant there was no table available. Unfortunately, with 11 people it's not that easy to find something new. Service was not helpful at all. Too bad.

Attracted by the flowery dishes on the menu and the good reviews (you'll find out where they come from later) we went to Jack Glockenbach at the weekend. We took note of the significantly above-average prices (hardly a main course under 20€) and had corresponding expectations. They were bitterly disappointed. The price-performance ratio is really underground in my opinion. Here you get normal Vietnamese food (in average portion size) with funky descriptions for gourmet prices that are also salty for Munich.
When we asked about a (small) children's meal, we were initially suggested a dish for €23 (fried noodles with chicken). When asked if there was something cheaper, a children's portion for €15 was suggested. The main courses: The ginger terracotta "pot", described as the house specialty, was a small bowl with 2 small pieces of chicken in a quite acceptable sauce, with a heap of rice, 3 slices of cucumber, 3 slices of tomato and a tiny bowl of pickled carrot/radish. (25€) The “noodle plate” for 23€ was a normal, medium-sized portion of fried rice noodles. You can get it (also in Munich) for around €10 The whole thing is rounded off with hefty drink prices (small glass of water €3.90), a small helping of rice for €4 (!) and an interchangeable ambience. 

The good reviews come through a “payment” (against Google guidelines) for the reviews with schnapps and “a small gift” which is only paid out after a 5 star rating is presented. See pictures/posters in the toilets.

Food is okay, but too expensive. The five stars can be explained differently.

Food is good, but, oh, did they take our money! And I don't mean the prices. I mean they took 20 euro more over our bill! We had exactly 70 minutes to have a dinner, but thought it was more than enough for fried appetizers and 2 soups. The service was very slow, so we were left with 12 minutes to eat our soups. When they told us the sum, we were already in so much of a hurry, that we just paid and literally went running to the reservation we had for a tour. We did not receive a receipt, it was just verbal. When we discussed the experience afterwards, the bill did not match with 20 euro! Even if there was a service fee, there is no possible way to legally reach this amount of money. Very very disappointing for an "esteemed" restaurant! Shame, shame, shame!

As euphoric as we were after seeing the great review, we are quite disappointed. The ambience is a matter of taste, I don't want to comment on that. The fitness iced tea was delicious and so was the homemade ginger ale, but unfortunately there was too much crushed ice in a 0.4 mL glass. For food: We had the summer rolls and spring rolls as starters. The summer rolls were really good. However, the spring rolls were like frozen ones from the supermarket: small, dark brown and extremely fatty. For the main course we had the witch wok and tofu with fried rice noodles and vegetables with a warm slice of tomato. The tofu was very oily (old oil) and limp. The still, lukewarm tap water was removed from the bill after being spoken to. We don't understand the hype and the price-performance ratio doesn't fit at all.

Super tasty and authentic - gladly again!

Creative menu with very tasty South Vietnamese food, great service, nice atmosphere. Everything was done right, Jack!

The food was amazing, but the service was very slow.

Nice shop. Very good food. Club music. The music isn't too intrusive, but could also be a bit more relaxed. Not cheap, but appropriate for the location and quality.

Very creative dishes. Super tasty. I was surprised. Just a little tight. Service was very nice and attentive.

The food was good, but a bit expensive for its size, the environment was a bit crowded, but generally good. What l did not like was a note that said if you give 5 stars, you get a free drink. That makes the rating unfair.

Had lunch there yesterday. Food lovely and tasty, service excellent. Just one quibble: the daily specials posted online don't quite match what we were actually offered, and some menu items are available only in the evening, not for lunch. So don't get too excited before you know what's available! But still a good meal and I would go back to taste the things I missed.

the food was tasteless and the service was very nervous. not a nice experience

Very delicious, quick service, tasty cocktails.

Great food and drinks. Fantastic and friendly service. Was well worth it! Will be back for sure!

The food was okay, nothing special though expensive. There's no possibility to order tap water and we paid 7€ for one liter of water brought in a carafe (pretty sure it was tap water). The waiters/owners don't speak English and they didn't even try to understand us so asking for a bill and cutlery was a real nightmare. After we approached one of them to ask for a bill they just walked away pretending they didn't see/hear us, it was very rude. I definitely don't recommend this place for tourists.

A massive recommendation goes out. It was our first visit to this restaurant. The drinks were super tasty, especially the Secret Rose. The food was exceptional. I have never seen such fresh vegetables on a plate. Hats off 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 I can especially recommend the starter plate for two people. Equally commendable was the attentive service from the waitress, who asked about the guests' well-being almost every second 👌🏻

Unfortunately, the edamame were no longer very fresh, but rather wrinkled. The main course was good, but the price-performance ratio wasn't right at all. The dishes are incredibly expensive even for Munich, so I just expect more all around.

Great food and service! Gladly again! ☺️

Very tasty food, attentive service, would be happy again at any time!

Very tasty food and very courteous, nice staff

Beautiful restaurant with very tasty food and good drinks. Recommendation for the homemade ginger ale. 😊

Delicious. I would definitely recommend it.

No idea what happened to Jack Glockenbach, but this is no longer the restaurant I was at a few years ago. The food was simply bad considering the price. There was no service at lunchtime, you had to go in to order and pay. The tables and chairs were old and dirty. Very sad!

The food was really delicious but unfortunately we were ripped off. We ordered a starter variation for around €20. When we got the bill we were a bit shocked because they simply deducted the price twice and so we paid €40 just for a starter. We didn't order for two, nor was there any indication on the menu that the price was per person. Well, you have to get your money somehow

Unfortunately our table outside was permanently overlooked. You had to fight to be able to order. When it came to dessert, we capitulated when no menu came despite asking. Food ok. Relatively expensive.

Augustiner beer and Food was good , but smaller portions than average and more expensive. Service was just terrible, second time I’m here and will not give a 3rd chance. Kitchen stays open until late (23h30) that’s a plus.

Unfortunately, the slightly higher price is not justified.

The food was good but average. Simply too expensive for that. There were two of us there and both bills were wrong, even when we asked how the price came about, they didn't even apologize for the fact that it was incorrectly billed/calculated. It seemed like this was happening more often. No card payment possible, a minus point these days.

It's unbelievable that in 2024 you can't pay by card in a restaurant that isn't exactly cheap…….

Very tasty food, also suitable for vegetarians! The desserts were ultimately the highlight of our visit, especially the fried banana is highly recommended!! The food is always very nicely prepared. Nice atmosphere to sit outside, it was a bit too loud inside. You should be prepared for a short waiting time.

Waiting, waiting and waiting again... first for the table (despite reservations), then for the drinks, then for the starter and when, after 75 minutes, they couldn't even tell us how long the main courses would take, we left the restaurant hungry. We even had to actively demand the cutlery. There was no excuse for the disaster. Certainly not recommended.

100x100 recommended. Good homemade food, good service and very grateful because they served us on Friday night, outside of their schedule, after the Adele concert. Very thankful. The delicious food. Until next time!

The best Vietnamese restaurant in Munich

Was good. Thanks. We'd love to come back.

Visit: May 19, 2024 Unfortunately, the visual impression does not correspond to that of the food. Anyone who claims to serve the best Aperol Spritz in the city should not be surprised by such a rating. It was one of the worst Aperols of my life. Absolute deadly sin: crushed ice. The taste of the food was below average. Very bland. The waiters disappeared for ages before we could order. Even when paying we had to follow the gentlemen. Service is different.

Very mediocre restaurant. The food was very meaty, quite greasy and sometimes unprofessionally prepared. For example, the crab bread was completely soggy and the drinks were forgotten.

My favorite Vietnamese Restaurant! Fair price for huge portion of delicious well-represented meal. All freshly prepared. It has a familiar customer service.

All food we tried was really great

Very crowded when I was there (Friday evening). But it's worth it for the food and drink.

Always my pleasure Good food in a relaxed atmosphere

We had reserved a table at 8 p.m., but after two hours, despite further orders, we were rudely and abruptly asked to pay the bill so that the waiters could continue to clean up. The food was ok, not better than other Vietnamese/Asian. But more than twice as expensive, in relation to the portion sizes. A vegetarian soup with tofu for €20.90 is simply an unreasonable price and especially with such unfriendly service. We also specifically asked not to use coriander. The dish still contained coriander. It seemed like the waiters didn't even care. As we were leaving the store, other guests tried to enter the store and were then sent out because they were closing early today. Absolute impudence and something like that without notice! Never again!! We didn't feel welcome.

Be careful - the restaurant manipulates Google Reviews by deleting bad reviews with the help of a lawyer! Really bad number! It remains the same - bad Germanized “Asian” food at high prices and poor service.

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Munich 🤩 great selection for vegans 🌱 I'll always come back!

Modern Vietnamese restaurant with a great selection of drinks and cocktails. The elderflower Eistee was floral, naturally sweet, and very refreshing. Their homemade ginger ale had the right kick of ginger. The summer rolls were fresh and complemented nicely with an umami sauce. The grilled beef balls were juicy and delicious. The noodles with tofu were good, however, nothing special. Overall, all dishes were tasty but nothing outstanding. We were quite shocked at the prices. 23€ for a small dish of vegetarian noodles is far too expensive. Spending 35€ per person, one expects to walk out satisfied and full. The service was friendly, but we had to call them 3 times to pay.

Tasty food and cocktails. Very nice terrase.

If you are around here you should try the food!!!!!

The food was very good and was delicious yami, yami, yami

The food is delicious but no different to other Vietnamese restaurants. Given the prices, I expected more in terms of taste and the portion size could also be expanded. The fact that you get something for free with a 5* rating doesn't really speak for itself. Overall good.

Excellent Aperol Spritz and friendly service!

Excellent bun and equally delicious cocktails!

Yesterday we had lunch again at Jack Glockenbach's and sat outside. The food (starter + 1 beef dish, 1 vegan dish) was again very good. The service was friendly and nice. I can only recommend the restaurant.

Really good food and professional staff!

Friendly, modern and good cuisine.

friendly staff, well prepared food and it is very tasty 😋

Very good! The drinks are convincing🍹

The food was really really good. Favorite was crispy veggie dumplings and coconut curry. The staff could've been a bit more friendly. Coctails were nice, maybe a bit too sweet. My friend got a soup, to have a light meal- it was not light, the soup was gigantic, but delicious. But it was so hot in there, there was no air circulation, had to take a few breaks to go outside and breathe some air. No windows were open and the fans weren't turned on. Other than that' I'd definitely recommend

Very nice restaurant, super friendly staff. There are heaters outside, which is perfect for a relaxing evening and cocktails look cool and taste great too.

Very nice restaurant and outdoor area. There are also heaters outside, which is perfect for colder evenings. The cocktail happy hour is very inexpensive and the toilets were clean

A great & very cozy place. The food was very tasty and lovingly prepared! We had a great evening. Highly recommended!

€20.90 for a soup? Bad joke! I used to like to order regularly, but no longer at this price, thank you!

Poor service (wrong appetizer prices brought, carelessly slapped plates down, completely different wine glass fills, the waiter had forgotten that we asked for salt, etc.) and very expensive. The starter soup was good, the phở was the worst I've ever eaten. Poor quality of meat and really disappointing in terms of taste

Food is definitely overpriced. Food is tasteless to mediocre. There is a note on the toilet stating that if you give a 5-star rating, the drink or other attention will be on the house. We didn't let ourselves be bought and are writing an honest review.

4 people with reservation. Food delicious. Service well: We waited more than 1.5 hours for our main courses! No apology, no explanation, not a kind word.

Cocktails are great, especially at happy hour. Food is good, but it could be better

The food is delicious, the service is very friendly, but unfortunately not very attentive. The prices have skyrocketed quite a bit.

Delicious food with fresh herbs! We had a lovely evening

Yummy! With lots of fresh vegetables and fresh herbs.

Great shop with fantastic food! Proof of this is that it is always well attended! Gladly again! 🤩

Well-attended restaurant with delicious food. Happy to come back!

The ending tasted wonderful! In addition, the dishes are very nicely presented. I'll be back!

Excellent food. Best Vietnamese food ive ever had. Cocktails were all delicious.

Eat good. Price/performance poor. Cocktails and service miserable. First the positives The food is really good and all the ingredients are fresh. However, prices beyond good and evil are also called for. A bowl of rice noodles starts at EUR 23. Other Vietnamese in the neighborhood charge 10 EUR less per dish. Unfortunately, the prices cannot be justified by the ambience and service. The entire store has incredibly tight seating. The service is just terrible to say the least: we arrived and were assigned a table. So far so good. After 15 minutes we still didn't have a card because the FOUR waiters at the bar preferred to look at their cell phones. So we quickly took the card off the counter ourselves. After another 10 minutes, a waitress took pity on taking the order. However, food and drinks came promptly. As good as the food is. It's not the cocktails. There is simply no right mixing ratio. In addition, these are not strained and filled with new ice, but rather poured directly into the glass, which makes them watery. For 14 EUR for a cocktail you would expect more professionalism. All in all, Jack Glockenbach is a store that offers prices at the top without providing the corresponding service. Classic Glockenbach hipster trap.

Super delicious authentic and fresh food. Excellent cocktails and nice atmosphere. We felt very comfortable. At times the service was a bit overloaded. But it wasn't too bad ☺️

It's a nice place, but quite overpriced for basic Vietnamese food.

We were complimented super rudely at another table, so we left straight away. Maybe we didn't understand the concept either. 1 star for the service worker's neck tattoo.

Nice little restaurant with very good food

Always nice to go to Jack Glockenback! The personal welcomes you immediately and they always try to accommodate you. The food is very tasty

Great food, but especially for the price, the service was, you could say, lacking. We didn't ask if everything was OK and if we wanted something to drink. We only ordered desserts when we asked, but they didn't come. Of course this wasn't charged, but if we hadn't also said that we still had to pay, we probably wouldn't have even noticed it and we would have left. In addition, the three of us (despite reservations) were supposed to be seated at a single or two-person table, but only half the shop was full. If any. Edit: Second chance when the shop was empty shortly after lunchtime was okay. The first review was not published due to lack of “evidence”…

The best vietnam food in munich

Essen war sehr lecker, jedoch ganz schön happige Preise. Hatten jeweils ein Gericht und 2 Drinks und dazu noch je ein kleines Glas Leitungswasser, was mit je 2,90€ berechnet wurde. Sehr dreist! Auf der Speisekarte ist hierzu keine Angabe. Kenne es so, dass Leitungswasser normal gratis ist, insbesondere wenn man sowieso schon recht viel Geld ausgegeben hat

Sehr gutes Essen! Wirklich top. Preislich allerdings recht teuer. Tische stehen teilweise zu eng aneinander. Aber man kann seine Nachbarn gut "belauschen", wer sowas mag ;) Service sehr aufmerksam.

Lecker und freundlich, sehr gut auch für vegetarisches Essen

Leckeres, frisches Essen in authentischer vietnamesischer Küche. Die Portionen waren allerdings etwas klein für den Preis.

Das Essen im Jack Glockenbach ist ebenso reichhaltig, wie frisch und lecker. Leider ist das Restaurant sehr eng bestuhlt, so daß man seinen Nachbarn fast auf dem Schoß sitzt und die Gänge zwischen den Tischen extrem eng sind. Das Lärmniveau ist leider entsprechend hoch, so daß eine normale Unterhaltung leidet. Das Restaurant ist sehr stark auf Gewinnmaximierung ausgelegt, so daß man von den Bedienungen sehr früh und sehr nachhaltig zum Zahlen und Gehen aufgefordert wird, kaum, daß man aufgegessen hat. Die Preise sind sehr gesalzen und die Gewinnspanne beachtlich. Der einzige Sauvignon Blanc auf der Karte zum Beispiel kostet 49,90 und stammt aus einem bekannten Discounter, wo er 4,99 Euro kostet. Es wäre schön, wenn das Management des Restaurants hier das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis mal realistisch korrigiert, den das Essen selbst ist tadellos.

Extrem laut und unangenehm. Wir haben uns sehr unwohl gefühlt. Essen okay aber nichts besonderes.

Ein sehr gemütliches Restaurant, sehr lecker, tolle und sehr schön servierte Getränke

Sehr nettes Ambiente, sehr guter und freundlicher Service.
