Ong Tao - Vietnamesisches Restaurant & Bar in Frankfurt am Main

Great authentic Vietnamese cuisine, very well organized with super fast service....

A wonderful Vietnamese restaurant with an atmospheric terrace and an authentic menu. Goi Cuon and Nem Nướng Sàn are very fresh and aromatic, the chicken curry is rich and tender. The refreshing Viet Mule is a great accent to dinner. Everything is beautifully served and very tasty. We will definitely come back!

What a wonderful dinner! We sat outside on a warm evening and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The service was fast and attentive, and every dish was delicious. We had spring rolls as an appetizer, followed by Pho Ga and the #18 noodle salad. I was very hungry, so I ordered the #21 spare ribs as an extra, which were absolutely delicious. This place definitely made it to our list of favorite restaurants in Frankfurt.

Sitting comfortably in a shady garden in over 30 degrees Celsius and being pampered with excellent food and drinks: that's what you can expect at the Vietnamese restaurant Ong Tao in Frankfurt am Main, Am Dammgraben 102. We were there with five people. The exceptionally friendly service staff arranged tables and chairs according to our wishes, so that our wheelchair user could easily find a seat. The service employee gave us very detailed and competent advice on selecting food and drinks. All orders were taken very quickly, even though the restaurant was very busy. The food (five different dishes) was served to everyone at the same time. All dishes, desserts, and cocktails were freshly prepared and simply delicious. Special requests were easily and simply accommodated. I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

Everything was great, but the food didn't taste like much and the quality of the meat was rather below average.

Unfortunately I didn't get what I wanted, which is a shame... it still tasted good

A very nice atmosphere outside in the garden. You can sit comfortably under the trees, which is especially pleasant on hot days. The service is very friendly and attentive. The dishes are a good size and taste delicious. The value for money is very good. I will definitely come back. I highly recommend it.

Delicious Vietnamese food. The chicken was really tasty and also all the small snacks..recommended

the soup kaki is very delicious and well cooked

I love Vietnamese cuisine. Everything is always so fresh, the meat is so juicy, and the salads are fantastic. The service is very good and the ambiance is lovely.

Excellent food, great service! We'd gladly go again

The outdoor seating is lovely. The food is good, and there's a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

A great place near the center of Frankfurt, where an authentic atmosphere, elegant decor and masterfully prepared Vietnamese cuisine combine. The coziness, attention to detail and friendly staff - all created a wonderful impression. A real find for our group of friends!

Very tasty! Large selection of food. Grilled dishes, soups, vegan menu are available. The service is very pleasant and very fast. We were satisfied. The draft beer is incredibly tasty.

Good value for money + location

Once again, the Hessen Consumer Protection Agency has been criticized for blatant hygiene deficiencies. Food service has been prohibited. The restaurant issues warnings and then deletes negative reviews.

Super authentic taste, friendly and helpful staff.

Good but with many orders there are errors

We dined here yesterday where the wonton soup was extremely salty, with each wonton costing €2 but containing almost no filling—just wrap-making it very poor value for money. The fried vermicelli was decent, but the cashier provided poor service. He refused to let us pay by card and was reluctant to give us change after we paid in cash, even though he had already asked for a tip. He came across as quite greedy. On the positive side, the restaurant had nice facilities, tasteful decor, and was dog-friendly.

I made a reservation with my group and visited this Vietnamese restaurant that locals go to. The atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly, but the rice noodles were just average. Fortunately, they recommended the monk beer(?) that you can only drink in Germany, and it was delicious. When paying, you can pay for each person's food and drinks, and they ask for a tip, but unlike in the US, there is no mandatory percentage, so you can pay comfortably.

What a delightful dinner, we sat outside this evening and enjoyed an amazing meal. The service was fast and attentive and the food was delicious. We had spring rolls to starts followed by Pho Ga and #18 noodle salad. I was extra hungry and decided to also order #21 spare ribs and they were amazing. We have added this to our list of favorite in Frankfurt

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine with an atmospheric setting - there's even a street food truck. Cozy and comfortable seating areas both inside and out. We especially liked the appetizers - even more than the main courses, although they were tasty too. Be sure to try the fresh coconut - very refreshing and a nice complement to the food. The location is not the best, but if you have a car, parking is no problem.

If you want perfect Asian food in Frankfurt, this is the place for you.

Lovely Vietnamese cuisine in the shadows of the park trees. Make sure you make reservation. And avoid pork belly with rice noodles, somehow it was quite blend.

I would give this place not five, but ten stars! I liked everything - from the interior to the last bite of food. A very cozy atmosphere, attentive service, impressive interior. The food is just great! I especially remember the summer rolls with fish sauce - fresh, tasty, authentic. Shrimps in coconut breading - just delight! The whole dinner felt like a gastronomic journey. And the cocktail with lime and ginger was the perfect end to the evening. Frankfurt is famous for its international cuisine, and Ong Tao is a worthy addition to this list. Definitely worth trying if you are in town!

The atmosphere is good, the taste is good, and overall I am satisfied.

Very tasty food in a nice atmosphere

A true favorite! The atmosphere is simply gorgeous, especially on the terrace in summer. The food is delicious and absolutely fairly priced. The cocktails and mocktails are especially recommended – creative and really well-made. The teas and spritzers are also truly delicious. I love coming back here again and again – an all-round feel-good place with great taste.

Very good food and great service! On the other hand, we were charged €15 tip without telling us... we would have liked to know.

Nice restaurant, very welcoming staff and delicious meal

Very tasty! A large selection of food. Grilled dishes, soups, vegan menu available. The service is very pleasant and extremely fast. We left satisfied. Draft beer is incredibly tasty. The only request, I recommend changing the sauce in item 24 from the menu, because it gives a very strange taste.

Excellent restaurant with friendly service and nice outside terrace

This is true Vietnamese food, good service and great atmosphere

Nice service, but unfortunately the food wasn't good + a long wait for the food, even though there wasn't much going on.

I would like to share my experience with you openly, impartially and transparently: -The ambience inside and outside is good. -The service staff (except the male waiter) is absolutely unprofessional and rude when it comes to constructive criticism. -The food is not fresh and is reheated several times, the meat is limp and is fried with the previous type of meat from a different animal, etc. -The vegetables are flabby and not crunchy because they have been sitting for a long time and are just thrown into the wok. -The sauces are also not fresh and are prepared in advance in quantities and only warmed up. -After a complaint, the waiter and also the boss replied like “everyone eats that” or “no one else complains” or “they don’t have to come back” I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone who has any idea about good food. Best regards.

Absolutely. The food was very tasty, the employees were very friendly. Prices acceptable. Gladly again.

Ong Tao is a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant that really impresses with its authentic cuisine. As soon as you enter, you notice the relaxed, inviting atmosphere, which goes perfectly with a relaxed meal. The menu offers a great selection of traditional Vietnamese dishes, all fresh and prepared with love. Every dish we tried was incredibly delicious and authentic in taste - simply a delight! Despite the high crowds, which clearly confirms the popularity of the restaurant, the staff were consistently friendly, attentive and eager to ensure that every guest had a pleasant experience. You always felt welcome and in good hands. The location is also ideal, especially for visitors to the trade fair – just a few minutes away. Parking was also uncomplicated: we quickly found a parking space on the side of the road in the immediate vicinity. All in all, a highly recommended restaurant for anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine in a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

The food is good, the portions too. Affordable price for the quantity.

The lemonades are delicious and the shop is nicely decorated. Despite the high-quality ingredients, the food is unfortunately bland and ultimately overpriced. Loosely rolled summer rolls that consist of 50% rice noodles and main courses that fall far short of expectations based on the description on the menu. It's a shame, because Ong Tao Vegan shows how good it could be.

Very good Vietnamese food. I can especially recommend the stuffed tofu. We have been there many times, have ordered several times and always enjoy coming back!

Ong Tao in Frankfurt scores with its beautiful outdoor area, which offers a pleasant atmosphere, especially in summer. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was harmonious. However, the taste of the food wasn't entirely convincing - a bit bland and not very balanced. Overall, a solid visit, but with room for improvement.

Nice atmosphere to sit in the garden in summer. Delicious food in a rustic atmosphere.

I’m starting to think Germans don’t know what good food is because every restaurant I’ve tried, the food tastes like bland food court food. Are you all ordering from like the same frozen food company ick.

Cool atmosphere and delicious food

Sehr leckeres Essen mit netter Bedienung. Gladly again.

Mango smoothie restaurant I asked for the cilantro to be removed, but it still had a slight scent.

Super friendly service and delicious food! The Pho Bo was amazing!

Food was great, prices are also ok!

The food was fresh and tasty, the restaurant is nicely decorated, and even when it's busy, it's not too loud to have a conversation. Definitely worth a visit.

It's very simply furnished, but it looks quite authentic. The food was delicious and plentiful, but not too much. The mango coconut sauce is highly recommended

Really good food. Beautiful atmosphere. Excellent service. I highly recommend

Highly recommended: delicious food, cozy atmosphere and attentive service!

Very nice and quaint restaurant. Nicely decorated, cozy, simple. Price-performance is great. There are both vegan and normal dishes. Everything very tasty! Service very quick and friendly. You can also go very well in a group

One of the most beautiful restaurants in Frankfurt and the surrounding area. Food very 😋 and friendly service. What more could you want?

Very tasty! Large vegan selection!

If you call and speak English, they hang up.

We ordered from Ong Tao via Lieferando. After over 1.5 hours there was still no food. We were told by phone that the food had been out for over an hour, which the delivery service could not confirm. Even though we always enjoyed the taste of the food, such poor customer service is really more than annoying.

A Vietnamese restaurant near downtown Phu Phu.. Bunbonambo, buncha, etc., everything tastes better than Ganchun Pyeongta?

Pho Bo is definitely recommended here! It tastes delicious. Be sure to reserve, it fills up quickly.

Mein paniertes Hühnchen in Cocos-Sauce war ekelhaft knorpelich UND bei meiner Frau auch. Kann man nicht reines Hühnerfleisch hier verwenden??!!??

My breaded chicken in coconut sauce was disgustingly gristly AND so was my wife. Can't you use pure chicken here??!!??

I have often either eaten on site or ordered home - the food is always delicious and the prices are fair. The terrace outside is particularly beautiful in summer!

Yes, good, interesting food, reasonable portions and prices.

This is chili salt water, not the broth of Hue beef noodle soup. It's really bad and won't be there again.

Super delicious food, authentic dishes and not the standard Asian food, but real culinary specialties from Vietnam. Both vegans and meat eaters will experience a culinary delight that is not available everywhere. If you like Asian food and have never been here, you're missing out.

The food is very tasty, friendly atmosphere, dogs are allowed. We often visit this place

We had dumplings as a starter, the vegetarian glass noodles and the curry rice with fried chicken. Since we have a top Vietnamese restaurant near us and the quality of the food there is better, we give it 3 stars

- Rolls: 6/10 We didn't like it very much, the duck was a little dry - Curry: 9/10 We asked the waiter if curry was spicy and he told us no, but for someone who doesn't eat spicy, it was spicy. - Pho: 8/10 I forgot to order it without cilantro, since in the ones I've tried in the past the cilantro comes separately

Food tasted good but was very salty, had pho soup, unfortunately we say there was a cat in the restaurant, which doesn't exactly speak for hygiene. Service nice. Homemade lemonade very good.

We came to the restaurant based on the good reviews, but our visit was a disappointment. After we arrived we were relocated because our table was supposed to be for six people was. A little later, however, the waiter seated two other guests at exactly that table. This situation was incomprehensible and unprofessional. About the dishes: My friend was happy with her meal, but my main course was a disaster. The vegetables were frozen, the meat was lukewarm. After a complaint, only hot broth was poured over it, but the food remained inedible. It tasted like it came from a prepackaged bag and had no flavor whatsoever. I am very disappointed and will not visit this restaurant again.

It's worth repeating... our group missed the toppings on the table for seasoning... we're looking forward to the outdoor area...

Friendly service, very good food, a little more and it would have been perfect. Attractive atmosphere

Bravo for the authenticity of the setting and for well-mastered Vietnamese cuisine. Bravo also the smile of the employees! It is a very pleasant change of scenery not far from the center of Frankfurt, with a beautiful harmony between traditional wooden furniture, elegant tableware and sophisticated decoration; all well aligned with the flavors found on the plates. In short, a very good discovery for our small group of friends wandering around the area that evening :-)

The food is ok but nothing special, the price is way too high.

The atmosphere is very exotic, the food is very tasty, I love the crispy tofu. The service could be a bit more attentive, otherwise perfect!

My friend's 2 star review was deleted. If you read the comments here, this probably happens more often. How ridiculous when you can't handle criticism. Food is ok, but the approach with bad reviews means that I won't eat here again and won't recommend it to anyone.

Update: The company is trying to have bad reviews and criticism deleted via Google.

Chicken crispy, sauce delicious. Unfortunately, for my taste, the vegetables in the sauce tasted slightly like frozen chestnuts. Otherwise service was on point and food was at the table quickly.

Delicious and fresh. Summer rolls were great. The tea with ginger is also great. A little more spice would be good for the food.

Interesting how you asked google to remove reviews with not so positive experiences, not sure why reviews exist in the first place. Anyway, here is my experience with Ong Tao from my visit 4 months ago and also a few days ago: I left a review sharing what I experienced, and got an email saying my review would be removed due to defamation. What happened to free speech and democracy? Let alone business integrity - instead of addressing issues with your business, you decided to stifle those who want to help you through their feedback. Here is proof of my visit in July to show I didn't just make up a review out of nowhere :)

This restaurant is amazing! I will never not recommend it.

(11/29/2024) Price/performance was very good. The staff was nice and the food was very good!

This restaurant appears to have started legally removing all negative reviews. Who keeps the bills from a restaurant visit for over 1 year? Congratulations, your restaurant will soon only have 5-star reviews. Here is the email I received from Google regarding the removal of my review:

Fantastic place! Delicious food and incredible service! The dessert in the photo (with rice and banana) definitely left an impression on my taste buds, it was something so incredible that I remember what I ate with fondness.

Very nice authentic style restaurant 👍

The store has a really nice atmosphere and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. However, we were a bit disappointed with the food; we were particularly unconvinced by the number 13. Maybe it just wasn't to our taste. We would still give the restaurant a second chance because the ambience and service were so positive.

Good food, very nice waitress, worth a visit.

wow wat a nice restaurant. We were on an exhibition, staying in a hotel close to this restaurant. Don't expect a fancy restaurant but a nice warm authentic one. The food, fresh and just great, what more can I say. Prices are very reasonable. Service was fast and friendly.

Sweet restaurant. My girls' food was delicious. My soup tasted strange. Since I had never eaten Vietnamese before, I thought it must taste like that. Well, I had something out of it for 2 weeks 🫣

There are a lot of people. I had high expectations. Perhaps my expectations were high, but the food did not suit my taste very well. A quasi-crisis is quite common. The price is also reasonable.

The food at Ong Tao was tasty, with a high selection of vegetarian options, but lacked a bit of spice. The service was very courteous, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The cozy location has potential for improvement, for example through more attractive furnishings. Overall, a nice visit that could be made even better with a few adjustments.

We came here in summer because of the long line waiting. But the food came out very disappointing. It was lovely decorated and they all came out very fast. The taste was not authentic vietnamese. The service was outstanding. It seems to us that the restaurant has not been taken care of for a long time. The garden is full of dust because of decorated rock. If you walk fast, dust will be everywhere.

Food is good and great service.

I love Vietnamese food and have been searching for a great pho since I moved to Frankfurt three years ago. I finally found my spot and will be back! The pho is long simmered and you can taste it. Not to mention the roasted duck curry was the best I’ve ever had, the cocktails were on point and the appetizers super scrumptious. Lastly I came here for my 30th birthday with a group and we were so well taken care of. Thanks for a wonderful night ❤️

Highly recommended. The food was very tasty and the staff was friendly. The prices are completely okay. Would go back at any time.

The food, service and ambience are really great here. The menu offers a large selection of dishes, also for vegans. There is something for everyone. The prices are absolutely reasonable. I can only recommend coming here.

Drinks, starters, main courses and dessert were delicious! Here we go again 🤗

Very friendly but never intrusive service, fantastic food. And cider for €4.20 is almost a bargain.

The duck bamboo shoot vermicelli looked like another customer's leftovers. If you make a mistake, do it again instead of wiping the water away and packing it for the customer like this

Very friendly staff delicious food
