Onkel Lam in Frankfurt am Main

If I could give less than 0 stars for the service then I would even give - 3 stars! We ate there for the first time today and therefore the last time. As a Vietnamese woman, it's frightening when you understand everything the service says to your colleagues in the kitchen! Outrageous is an understatement. Let alone the tone in which she speaks to you. Addressing customers as “girls eating something” is definitely not what you expect here. Or after sitting for 1 minute, saying you should order faster because she still has deliveries (mind you, there were 3 other people in the snack bar) Conclusion; It's my first bad review and I actually believe that everyone deserves a second chance, in which case I'm sure I'll never eat here again and I can't recommend it to anyone.

Best crispy duck I ever had. Absolutely recommended.

Worst experience ever. Tried to order take-away. I don’t understand German but the lady was rude and scolded me for some apparent reason. Spoilt the day and I left. Used to order from here before, food was good. But terrible attitude, never ever going back here.

Great little place. Authentic taste, prepared by someone who clearly knows his Pho. Great broths, noodles, crispy duck, etc. Delicious!

Really excellent Vietnamese food in a lovely spot in Frankfurt. The street was quiet—we sat outside—and the service was excellent. I had a red curry dish, my wife had a bowl with spring rolls and our friends had pho! We shared some dumplings which were great. Both lemonade and Vietnamese iced coffee was great (the drinks came with ice cubes!) Our server was warm and my wife had a great conversation with her. I really recommend the place. The food was great and fast!

The portion was too small for the price, the food was lukewarm, the duck was undercooked. The waitress didn't say goodbye to me, she just left. Totally disappointing.

I’ve been once and tried the crispy duck noodles. It was delicious, for sure I’ll come back and try other things. Fair price and friendly staff

The food is really good. Very tasty. Best fried rice we’ve had in Frankfurt, and one of the best tasting Pho…. … had to come back one last time before leaving. Favorite Frankfurt Food. Yum 😋

Spontaneously walked by on a Monday evening and ordered fried rice with chicken and vegetables - what can I say: the best fried rice! It tasted super fresh, the spices were just right. I love spontaneous decisions with such a positive surprise ;) They have a nice outside terrace and the traffic is largely hidden. The ladies were also very nice and accommodating, and even made a few jokes. All in all, a great Vietnamese place for me that I will definitely visit again!

Delicious food, good friendly service, very satisfied

Perfectly recommended! The food is incredibly tasty and fresh, the service is very attentive and friendly and you can always find a place on the small terrace or inside

We happened to drive past this little restaurant today and were served a fantastic meal. The chicken was very tender and crispy, the coconut curry overall was very tasty and the service was world class. We joked and laughed with Aunt Lam(?) and had a great dining experience. It was a perfect end to our evening and we would love to come back. I recommend snacking on the homemade chili oils and spices.:) Kind regards!

Very authentic, small, inconspicuous shop, definitely an insider tip!

- delicious Vietnamese food - friendly service - nice little terrace

Pork dumplings arrived raw. Unfortunately, since I ordered via UberEats, I have to deal with their customer service. They couldn't help me when I called the restaurant. I've already eaten one and now I'm praying...

Truly a small pearl in Frankfurt, great food and service, not to mention the staff's friendliness and attitude just helps bring a smile to your face, not even to speak of the food, that comes in just the right portion size, and it is truly full of flavour. Even if the language barrier might be a difficulty for some places and people, then the staff at this place truly goes out of their way to try and communicate, so the customer gets to understand the menu even better. The restaurant has a tall bush fence around it, closing in the outside dining area, this helps with reducing the noise from outside, and makes the experience a bit more cosy. I can only recommend people to come and visit this place, if they crave some Vietnamese food.

Great Vietnamese place! Tasty and hearty pho, flavorful noodles and creamy iced tea with milk. All for very reasonable prices.

Favorite place for lunch! We always like to come, great food, nice service.

All the food is very delicious! The boss and chef are all from Vietnam, providing authentic Vietnamese taste. The shop has a warm and friendly atmosphere and the prices are reasonable.

Wow! We are very excited. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly! We will come back.

So happy that I found this place while strolling around and looking for a nice dinner spot. Strongly recommending to go for Pho-Bo, it tastes just great! Super friendly staff and great service.

I was “greeted” by such an unfriendly woman that I immediately lost an interest to eat there and left

Pho Bo was super good, thank you very much for that!

Delicious, friendly, enthusiastic

Best Vietnamese in Frankfurt! The food tastes very good, especially the Phô Bo is absolutely authentic. The price/performance ratio is great and the boss offers good service and is absolutely on her toes 😊

We were at the Expo del Passenger terminal and after walking around the area many times to go to eat, we finally decided to eat here. A success, we loved everything, a cozy place where they serve a good amount of food and it is very good. I would also like to add the attention they gave us. a lot of love and a lot of kindness.

We came in urgently in rainy weather and I think the noodle soup is excellent, I recommend it.

Uncle Lam is thoroughly recommended. It's a small restaurant with Asian charm. We were there during our lunch break and ordered from both the lunch menu and the "normal" menu. The food came quickly and hot. There was even a mistake, but it was corrected politely and quickly. They also offer a kind of lemonade with fresh mint and ginger. My tea was also a ginger tea, which was highly recommended. All in all solid and good.

The staff is super friendly and the duck with udon is one of the best I've ever eaten. Fantastic place!

Really delicious food and staff very nice Would love to come back

What a cool shop that I discovered by chance while walking past! Super authentic and affordable Vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a rarity in Frankfurt. The service was also super nice, friendly and humorous. I've already recommended it to a lot of people and everyone was thrilled. There will definitely be a few more to come.

Simple, small restaurant with friendly service and delicious food.

Food was so so but the lady boss attitude to asian was too rude. I dont really understand the language but from what her facial expressions was rude and her tone of voice like not welcoming at all. Not even say thank you when i leave. And for local customer or Caucasian she smiling and treat them nicely. I have no idea why asian have to treat asian this way. Maybe she dont like to be asian, but too bad.

Went there for the first time today - great!

By far the best meal I've had in a long time. The owner is super accommodating and friendly. Price performance 10/10 will definitely come back!

Avery bad experience considering that I love Vietnamese food. We booked a table for 3:00 p.m. coming from the airport in Frankfurt and we arrived at 3:10 p.m. at the restaurant (10 minutes late) because of the train and the tram (something I can't control). When we entered, the lady there with glasses did not greet us, bearing in mind that I greeted her 3 times and I was waiting for her to answer, and then she started arguing with us about why we were so late (10 minutes) and talk to us very badly. I asked her why she was talking to us so badly and without respect, and she said that we should not be late.. I explained it nicely and told her that due to his totally inappropriate behavior we will not eat in this restaurant now or ever and left. A total disappointment! Dear lady, learn to behave yourself nicely when your customers wanna eat a good food in a good environment with good energy.

The lady gave us tips on using the sauces, the food had a deep flavor profile and tasted authentic

Everything was great and really tasty food. Only relatively cold inside in winter.

Just always so delicious and so nice. Small but nice. We recommend. If there is a trade fair, be sure to make a reservation. We will be back definitely.

Please reserve in advance especially if you are looking for a seat from Friday evening (weekends) Liked 11 & 48. #34 was way too oily than expected. The staff seemed courteous. Sometimes there was a lag between service as the staff also managed web orders at the same time. Clean restroom. Possible to pay via card. Even though the total amount was €45, they charged an additional €1 for paying with card. Overall experience: 4 stars out of 5

Very nice service, huge and delicious portion (had the chicken soup for €11). A bit rustic furnishings, but absolutely ok for what it is supposed to be.

Wowowow really awesome, I would even say the best Bums in Frankfurt for the price-performance ratio.

Great! Super tasty, fresh, quick. Also makes you full and happy. Attentive service, almost familiar. Be sure to order the original Vietnamese specialties! Even the jasmine tea is of very good quality and the sauces are homemade.

ordered online, very very good Pho , for me one of the best i had in frankfurt.

Great value for money, super friendly service, real discovery! I can hardly believe that I was there this evening for the first time after more than 30 years in Frankfurt. Even though I don't live far from it and it's on the way to my work.

Simply great, the food tastes incredibly delicious. The super nice lady in service who is also the boss is just so indescribably nice and so great. We felt completely at home and always go to uncle lam for dinner

The lady had the longest face and worst attitude as if she’s not happy for me to eat there. I thought okay I’d at least expect an authentic bowl of beef pho to go with her attitude. Very disappointingly, the pho came out with cut-corner ingredients, no fresh lime nor basil. I asked whether that was it, she scolded me in some language that I didn’t understand, and then grudgingly gave me a slice of lime. I was going to continue, but the soup just felt bland without some fresh basil, so I had to ask again, showing her google image of basil in pho. She started yelling very unpleasantly as if I was asking for something unreasonable, pointing to menu, although I pointed out that her menu photo showed basil Leaves in the soup. She turned her back on me as if she was so annoyed by me. With that, I had enough. I didn’t need to be treated so poorly by a grumpy Asian auntie for not even getting the basic ingredients in the pho, even after I had asked for them. I stood up and was ready to leave, and she finally, grudgingly reached out to her fridge and found a few pieces of basil leaves, and throw them on a plate. I had to leave. For people who don’t know the basic ingredients in a pho, their food might be okay, although I don’t understand how and why the locals would put up with her awful attitude. They cut corners with their basic Vietnamese food, and they treat you like you don’t deserve to be served.

Das Essen, vorallem die Reisnudelsuppe, war sehr lecker. Das Restaurant ist eher schlicht und klein und geht Richtung "schicker Imbiss". Es war sehr einfach etwas Vegetarisches zu finden. Die Preise sind moderat und angemessen, man darf aber nicht mit sehr niedrigen Imbisspreisen rechnen.

元気なおばちゃんがいる、なんでも美味しいお店です！フォーボーか、ブン系の麺が特におすすめ。野菜いっぱいでしみじみ美味しい。 Pho Bo is so good!! I finished the whole bowl including all of the delicious broth - I also ate their Bun dishes and beef salad before and they never betrayed my expectation! Very affordable price as well.

Richtig leckeres authentisches Essen. Dim Sum 🥟 und die beiden Gerichte haben sehr gut geschmeckt. Das einzige was man beachten muss, dass man nach dem Essen dort ziemlich nach „Essen“ riecht. Sonst aber alles top

Petit restaurant vietnamien ouvert même un jour férié en Allemagne dans quartier résidentiel proche du Franckfurt Messe. Excellent accueil. Cuisine fraîche et préparée à la commande. Portions copieuse.

Super Service sehr leckeres Essen Keep going!!!

Immer wieder gerne Vielen Dank Liebe Grüße Alex und Firma

Cooler kleiner Vietnamesischer local Imbiss. Wirklich außerordentlich authentisch und sehr guter Service. Die Inhaberin ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Essen ist frisch und schmeckt sehr gut(nicht überwürzt). Auch die Portionsgrößen sind schön groß. Sehr zu empfehlen auch bei den guten Preisen. Vorallem der Tee ist top🔝 Wichtig, es gibt nicht so viele Sitzplätze. Cảm ơn vì bữa ăn ngon🙏🏻

tasty food and fast service, definitely recommend everyone!! I would say one of the best places in Frankfurt to try vietnams food

음식은 가격대비 괜찮은 수준이었던 것 같아요. 면이 뚝뚝 끊겨서 아쉬웠습니다. 숙주가 오래되 보였고, 고수가 적어서 아쉬웠어요. 국물은 좋았어요! 참고로 카드결제하는 데 여러번 결제되는 문제가 있었어요. 독일에서 카드 잘만 사용했는데 주인 아주머니가 앞으로 독일에서 카드 사용하지 말라고 하셨음. 결국 현금 인출기 수수료 내느라 기존 가격 2배 지불하고 먹었네요. 리뷰에도 결제기 관련해서 말이 있는데 한 번 점검이 필요해보입니다 😅

Tolle Tante & Onkel ! 😚😁 Freue mich immer, wenn ich in Frankfurt bin, dort zu essen !! Probiert die selbst gemachte Limo

Ist ein kleines aber feines Restaurant/Imbiss der von einer netten Familie geleitet wird

Came here alone for lunch on a Friday. I ordered a Pho Bo and a iced Vietnamese Coffee. The Pho was good, although it wasn’t the best I’ve had. There could have been more bean sprouts, or mint leaves. Usually restaurants I’ve been to put out extra on your table to add. The iced Vietnamese coffee was ok, as the cup was only half filled, and it didn’t taste like it easy freshly made. Also using card charges +1€, so be sure to bring cash. Fast service and friendly. Would def come back for a quick meal now and then, but def not my go to for a really good bowl of Pho.

Essen und Service waren sehr gut aber das Restaurant ist sehr klein und alles sehr gequetscht. Im Größen und Ganzen aber gut.

Food is pretty decent but ran into a little situation when their credit card system was down and was charged multiple times but with assurance it wouldn't go through and the lady still wanted to proceed with transaction again n again. they said they have been having issues with it that day. Initially was no issues with transactions made but din go thru with German credit cards then later they said it was due to no German credit cards that has this issue. Atm it seemed dubious that the reason keeps changing as the charge was shown to be put on hold in my bank app. All went well in the end but so much hassle just to get my food.

Seit Jahren immer wieder vorbeigelaufen, gestern einmal ausprobiert! Ich kann die hier genannten 5 Sterne Bewertungen mehr als bestätigen. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und persönlich! Das Essen ist sehr gut und authentisch, Preis-Leistung sind in der heutigen Zeit, der HAMMER! Fast wie vor 10 Jahren. Zum Essen, wir hatten das volle Programm, viele Vorspeisen und Hauptgänge. Die vietnamesischen Frühlingsrollen sind frisch und selbstgemacht, am besten sind die steamed Wan-Tang, die wir nochmal zum Dessert bestellt haben. Kleine Anmerkung, nehmt eure lokalen Biere mit auf🤗! Ich freue mich auf den nächsten Besuch!

Highly recommended. Foods delicious, service really nice and super friendly, I’d definitely come back.

Tasty food, generous portions, good prices, and really kind and friendly service. Will definitely go back.

Amazing food and good proces! Great hospitality!

Richtig gutes Essen, ein Muss wenn mann in Frankfurt ist. Ich komme gerne wieder!

Super netter und guter Service. Vom Ambiente her ein typischer Imbiss in familiärer Atmosphäre. Das Essen war sehr frisch und total lecker. Ein authentisches ganz tolles Lokal. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Die vietnamesische Nudelsuppe war außergewöhnlich gut zubereitet. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Sehr nette Lokation. Wir sind spontan zum Mittagessen darauf aufmerksam geworden. Sehr leckeres Essen, frisch. Auf der Terrasse sitzt man abgeschirmt, obwohl die Straße direkt nebenan ist. Daumen hoch!

Sehr lecker Ente bzw Teigtaschen gegessen. Sehr lustige und unterhaltsame Eigentümerin

Great place to eat. I really enjoyed my meal. The cook loves his job and it shows.

Authentische vietnamesische Küche mit fairen Preisen und freundlichem Service Ich bin überglücklich, dass ich dieses vietnamesische Restaurant in Frankfurt entdeckt habe. Es bietet eine hervorragende Auswahl an authentischen Gerichten, die alle frisch zubereitet werden. Jedes Gericht, das ich probiert habe, hat mich auf eine kulinarische Reise nach Vietnam mitgenommen. 😋👍🏼 Das Essen ist wirklich mega lecker. Die Dim Sum, insbesondere, waren sensationell. Die Vielfalt der vegetarischen Gerichte hat mich ebenfalls beeindruckt. Zu den Speisen gibt es eine Auswahl an Weinen – rot, weiß und rosé. Sie sind alle durchaus trinkbar und passen gut zu den Gerichten. Insgesamt sind die Preise in diesem Restaurant sehr fair. Der Service war freundlich und aufmerksam, was immer ein großer Pluspunkt ist. Das Ambiente ist in Ordnung, eher ein Imbiss nichts Besonderes. Es erfüllt seinen Zweck, ist aber nicht unbedingt ein Ort, an den man für die Atmosphäre hingehen würde. Die Möglichkeit, draußen zu sitzen bei gutem Wetter, gleicht dies jedoch aus und bietet einen zusätzlichen Reiz. Insgesamt war der Besuch in diesem Restaurant eine wunderbare Erfahrung. Wenn Du auf der Suche nach authentischer vietnamesischer Küche bist, empfehle ich Dir definitiv, diesen Ort auszuprobieren. Du wirst es nicht bereuen. Ein Stern Abzug gibt es nur für das eher durchschnittliche Ambiente, aber das Essen und der Service machen das mehr als wett. Ich freue mich auf meinen nächsten Besuch! 🍀🤗😋

leckeres Essen für einen guten Preis, sehr nette Eigentümer und schöne Terrasse

Sehr leckere vietnamesische Küche und freundlicher Service.

Kleines unscheinbares Restaurant mit super Essen, sehr zu empfehlen! Die Ente war hervorragend. Sehr freundlich. Perfekt nach einem Besuch im Senckenbergmuseum, da es relativ nah, zu Fuß zu erreichen ist

Wir gehen hier regelmäßig Mittagessen. Das Essen ist immer ziemlich schnell fertig und schmeckt wirklich gut.

Die Frau ist sehr sehr unfreundlich 😅 Gehen Sie nicht da … Die nimmt zu viel Geld und gib sehr kleine portions

Hier gibt es gute Udon-Nudeln, würzigen Tofu und Garnelen, in Reisteig gedämpft. Onkel Lam kocht selbst und bringt das Essen. Alles frisch und lecker und hoch sympathisch serviert. Sonntags gibt es noch Extras. Zusammenfassung: Kammanommamachen!
