Pho 1990 in Kiel

The best Pho in Germany! 🇩🇪 I have already tried about 10-15 Pho restaurants in Germany. Here we cook according to tradition and that's why it tastes so delicious. I jumped on it so quickly that I forgot to take photos. That will never happen to me! My wife ate noodles and I ate spring rolls. Everything is really excellent! Locals also eat here, which is a very good sign!

By far the best soup we have ever eaten in all of Germany. We've actually tried quite a few, this one is the most authentic. We had lunch. The prices are really great and the portions are more than enough. Even the prices for the evening are very good and reasonable. I really like the ambience, calm music in the background. The employees are all very friendly and accommodating. Very nice shop, we will definitely come back.

Super delicious food, but waiting more than 1 hour to get food is too long. The place doesn't have much spirit or Asian feel.

Service was outstanding, incredibly friendly and attentive to check in on you - even during their break! The broth was the tastiest and full bodied version I've had around the Baltic Sea - nicely balanced and aromatic with herbs which complemented the delicious noodles and breadstick, which was a first I've ever had! Restaurant is thoughtfully decorated with cute hints of Vietnam, super clean, and affordable menu has a lot of variety for unique flavors of home.

Super nice staff. Cozy atmosphere and the food tastes great. The special highlights for me are the mango salad and the Vietnamese coffee.

I heard a lot of good things about the restaurant and was very happy to try out the menu. I was there on a Saturday evening, unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. The chicken wings were dry, the dip for the spring rolls, which were unfortunately somewhat burnt and dry, consisted mostly of water and had no taste, the pho consisted practically only of noodles, the soup was hardly there, the iced tea was more of a syrup and we had to use water order so that it is drinkable. The other starters were ok, but nothing I would order again. It could be that (even though the store was only half full) there is a lot to do on a Saturday. However, I think it is important that the quality always remains the same, even on stressful evenings. Unfortunately I wouldn't go there anymore. Too bad

I had dinner there yesterday with two good friends for a birthday. We were immediately given a table and the waiter soon arrived. The waiter was very nice. We ordered and the waiting time was short. We all found the food very tasty, the price is completely understandable. Very good restaurant, I recommend 100%.

Looking for rich flavourful balanced tastes of Vietnam? Go here! Many put springrolls on their menu cause it's "easy", it is not, these people know their art of preparing them. (And mmm the peanut sauce...) I'm vegetarian and even i though the chicken dish from the table next to us smelled great 😅 Our 2 dishes we're very good, and the rice was cooked perfectly.

We ate here 2 out of the 3 days we were in Kiel. Very delicious food, nice staff and great atmosphere.

Amazing, the duck with coconut curry is out of this world. Very glad I came to this place!

Geniales, nunca fallan, agradables, educados y tratando muy bien el producto. Repetiremos antes de marcharnos seguro

Update: Due to the very professional handling of my criticism, we made a new attempt to visit the restaurant today. Today the service was very courteous and friendly and the food was excellent. Gladly again! ---------- We were really looking forward to the meal and made a reservation for 4 in advance. When we arrived we were assigned a table at the back of the restaurant. We asked for a table inside by the door that was open to the outside. We were denied this with the information that these were tables for two and that they were being kept free for potential other guests; However, they were not visibly reserved. It should be noted that only a single table inside was occupied. It's a shame that the service is so not flexible and so not customer-friendly. Instead, we had an excellent meal at a Japanese restaurant around the corner.

Very good food that is reasonably priced. The service has always been great and the restaurant itself is clean. I like eating here

The food is so delicious and the service is excellent :)

my favorite in Kiel. top service too!

Went for dinner with a larger group. We received a very warm welcome, the waiters were very friendly and helpful in choosing the dish. The food came very quickly and we really liked it. The owners, very loving, will definitely come back.

Lunch was not recommended. For 13 euros I would have expected more. Price/performance is not right in my opinion. Furthermore, the portions are a bit economical.

Something hidden. Still a nice atmosphere. Friendly service. Very tasty, good quality food. Overall tasty and not the typical monotony of other restaurants in Kiel.

We were there for dinner recently. Super nice staff. Very friendly. Fast service and great food. Summer rolls are highly recommended. The Pho is also great and the bowls were also well prepared and very tasty. Dressing comes separately and can be combined as desired. 5 stars - straight 1 - we'll go there again. :)

Some of the best fried noodles I ever had, period.

An absolute recommendation Everything is freshly prepared It's quick and everyone is very nice On site

Nice shine. But absolutely not recommended. Unfortunately, after visiting the restaurant, I felt very unwell in my intestinal area. There is something unhealthy in the food or not being a good cook. - Small portion for expensive money with a lot of noodles (filling material) and sauce and hardly any vegetables and no typical herbs. It seemed very economical and prepared for profit for the owner. - The food here is very expensive relative to here. - The tofu dish was very bland and boring in taste. - No herbs, few spices, probably just flavor enhancers and ready-made, cheap and unhealthy sauce powders. It gave me a stomach ache. - Few spices to choose from at the table. Just pepper, salt + sweet chili. (No soy sauce etc.) - Fatty, gristly meat in meat dishes! - Uncomfortable chairs. I don't understand all the good reviews. The Germans probably don't know about good Asian food. Many people seem to think it's delicious but there are much better Vietnamese options. It is far too expensive here for this quality and hygiene and quality should be checked more often!

Very cool restaurant. The food is great, the service is great and the location is also great. Just a really great evening. I can recommend it to everybody. I had a starter salad with beef and the main course also had beef, which was super tender and well seasoned.

Bra service, hjelpsomme på å velge mat for barna. Gode størrelser på porsjonene. Kan anbefale ! Vi spiste både pho, vårruller og edamamebønner.

Very tasty food. Ambiance also good.

Great food and fantastic service! Thanks for the wonderful experience.

Delicious. It's a shame we live so far away.

We went on a day trip to “Kiel Week”. And my wife was hungry for Vietnamese. That's how we ended up here. Very centrally located. The restaurant is tastefully decorated. There is also an outdoor area. The staff is nice, attentive and friendly. There was 1x Pho Ha Noi (noodle soup), 1 mineral water and a cola for €22.70. The soup was good, we couldn't identify the side dish (but it tasted good). Conclusion: Recommended

We regularly come from out of town to eat here: we love it

Went there spontaneously and it was very tasty. What's great is that you have the choice between vegetarian and meat. The service was extremely friendly. We would eat there again at any time.

Very tasty food and friendly service, individual changes to the dishes are possible without any problems.

The food was really delicious, classic Asian cuisine with a modern interpretation. The service was okay, not bad but not particularly good either. What really bothered me was that it was extremely loud in the restaurant. It was well filled, as it should be on a Friday evening, but the background noise was so loud that it was hard to think about having a conversation at the table. It was very difficult to understand the other person and you had to concentrate hard to follow conversations. It's a shame, probably due to the modern and therefore spartan atmosphere in the restaurant. No niches, walls, balustrades or plants that could absorb sound. A pity. I won't be coming back here because for me, a good conversation is part of a good meal.

Really delicious food and good cocktails.

Very nice, attentive and experienced service. Food was very good (my first Thai restaurant). I also liked Tai coffee

Tastes just like in Vietnam. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy.

Super nice waiter, excellent food and fair price, thank you for everything

I love Vietnamese cuisine. The food in this restaurant was also very delicious, what a taste and aroma. Very friendly, attentive service. The furnishings looked like new, simple, no frills. I was on a short trip in Kiel.

The food wasn't great and the meat was very bad. However, the drinks and service were great.

We looked inside at the window. A large selection. Very fast service and super tasty food. I can only recommend.

It is a restaurant with elegant service and very tasty food. Lucia and Chan Kim are very kind and full of joy🌸!This is for sure one of my favorite restaurants in Kiel😍

Very nice service, very good food.

The food is excellent, well presented and tasty. The service is great. The waitress is adorable! Definitely suggested.

Very tasty food, also vegan and with meat. A great place where everyone can eat something. Staff was very accommodating. Central location on the old market

We went there for the first time today based on a recommendation. The atmosphere is very nice, the service was super friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. The homemade iced teas and lemonade are also highly recommended. The price-performance ratio is also right. We'd love to come back.

Ich habe bestellt und liefern lassen....es war richtig mega super lecker: krosse Ente mit Reisbandnudeln und dunkle Sauce pikant! Ich wohne in Gaarden und die Ente war noch schön knusprig und die Sauce war auch noch gut temperiert und lecker! Weiter so! Ich werde euch weiter empfehlen! Liebe Grüße! Silke Plambeck! 😋😋😋😉

It's going ok. Have eaten much better

We were served very nicely and the food came quickly, hot and extremely tasty. Highly recommended, we would love to come back!

Really nice restaurant with a consistent and special style. Nicely located and easily accessible on foot. The food was really tasty and can only be recommended. I'm a really big fan of Vietnamese cuisine and I especially like Pho, which you can of course order really tasty in the restaurant of the same name. We even had hearts painted on our reservation sign :) I was very happy about that. Nice service, everything was great. Thank you for the lovely evening!

Pretty authentic pho place that sells quite a variety of traditional vietnamese food.

The Pho was delicious and the staff was very nice and attentive.

We have been eating at Pho 1990 for several years. We were last there on April 5, 2024. Unfortunately I have to adjust my review because of this. Prices have remained the same since 2023. That's a positive thing first. The restraunt has adjusted the portions for this. No. 33 for €22.90 Was served with sad bags of salad. Less than a handful. The duck was standard. The rice is also very little. I had a drink (Red Lips) for €6.50. The drink was fine. In summary, the restaurant decided not to adjust the prices, but to adjust the food. Unfortunately we won't be eating there anymore for the time being.

Very tasty food! Nice service and usual prices😉

It's one of my favorite restaurants in Kiel and I've eaten here many times. Unfortunately, last time my friend's dish was way too spicy - but normally it's great! Since the renovation, it has become much more comfortable here.

The best duck ever! Ambience is a bit loud. Service very attentive. Menu sufficiently varied. We were very satisfied with 6 people.

Unfortunately there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of taste. I've never eaten a duck like this where there was so much gooey skin on it and it also had a strange aftertaste. Rice could definitely be better and the glass noodles and rice noodles were simply cooked and had a neutral taste. The side salad is not worth talking about. For an Asian snack bar, that would all be totally ok. but not acceptable in a restaurant for these prices

I think I have found the best Pho soup in Kiel. Delicious! Gladly again

Really very tasty food, nice service. Table reservation was also uncomplicated, confirmation via email came straight away.

All in all just great, the service was very friendly, the food came quite quickly, fresh ingredients and super tasty. And at lunchtime the Pho 🍜 only costs €10.90 instead of €16.90. All in all very recommendable.

We always go here when we visit kiel. Good taste and nice food.

Very courteous service staff 👍👍👍

The restaurant is excellent! The spices in dish number 27 were perfectly balanced, the food came in record time, and the service was very friendly. What was particularly pleasant was that we were able to chat in peace after dinner, without interruptions from the staff. Overall the atmosphere was very nice and cozy!

The soups are great and the service is fast!

At first glance the store looked very nice and inviting. With 8 people, we were very happy to be able to get a table on Sunday evening at short notice without reservations. Unfortunately, we were left sitting at the table for about 45 minutes (as was the neighboring table) before we spoke to a waiter and she then took care of us. The drinks again took quite a long time, but tasted very good (my personal recommendation are the two cocktails on the menu!). After some more waiting, the food finally arrived. We all enjoyed it, but it wasn't necessarily a highlight and for me it wasn't worth visiting again. For the normal prices, the portions were relatively small. Except for the very long waiting times, there were no deficiencies in terms of service. The shop and the toilet were clean!

Very nice experience, it was completely worth the wait and it is appreciated that there are vegan options.

We were there for the first time yesterday on February 7th, 2024. Unfortunately it was more of a disappointment. the duck (no. 33) was extremely fried and therefore tasteless/tough. In my opinion, the salad was bagged salad from Aldi without dressing. the rice ok... that's it. could come from a chip shop. It's a shame, especially since the atmosphere promised more.

Surprisingly extremely positive dinner experience. Unobtrusively nice service and excellent cuisine that knows how to present delicious things to the guest. It's a shame I won't be in Kiel long enough to eat here again. Small safety note ☺️ 🌶️ = is meant seriously 😅

Nice restaurant, with friendly staff. At No. 26, colorful vegetables with chicken, there were very few vegetables, the meat was also clear, the curry sauce had no kick. So the price-performance ratio wasn't right, at least for this dish. I'm disappointed! I think about the employee's statement "she didn't cook it."

Dejligt sted med lækker og autentisk mad. Personalet var venlige og servicemindede, og vi kommer helt sikkert gerne igen :-)

Varied menu. Carefully prepared dishes. Unfortunately, the selection of the eponymous Pho soup was reduced. Courteous service. Simple but friendly atmosphere.

Zero authentic. Far too small portions and overly hyped cocktails. Has the feel of a more upscale German pub. This has nothing to do with Vietnam.

Wie immer sehr leckeres Essen. Bedienung sehr aufmerksam und schnell, Essen heiß, frisch und einfach lecker. Große Portionen bei sehr angemessenem Preis.

Sehr nette Bedienung und wirklich gutes leckeres ehrliches asiatisches Gericht. Auch optisch macht es was her, das Auge isst ja mit. Schon mehrmals dort gegessen, schmeckt immer wunderbar und der Eigentümer ist ebenfalls sehr sympathisch. Rundum gut, nichts zu beanstanden! Empfehlung! :)

Sehr nette Bedienung und wirklich gutes leckeres ehrliches asiatisches Gericht. Auch optisch macht es was her, das Auge isst ja mit. Schon mehrmals dort gegessen, schmeckt immer wunderbar und der Eigentümer ist ebenfalls sehr sympathisch. Die Lage ist schön ruhig, da direkt am alten Markt, wo auch viele andere Bars und Restaurants sind. Rundum gut, nichts zu beanstanden! Empfehlung! :)

Sehr nettes Personal, jeder von uns 8 Leuten hat was für sich gefunden und war begeistert. Kommen wieder. Andreas

Frisch, lecker und authentisch wie bei meiner vietnamesischen Schwiegermutter!

Das Essen war okay. Ich habe ein Mittagsmenü (bzw. laut Inhaber Mittagstisch, s.u.) bestellt. In anderen Restaurants gibt es eine Suppe oder Salat vorweg zum Mittagsmenü (oder Mittagstisch), manchmal sogar noch ein Getränk oder Nachtisch. Für einen Preis von ca. 13€ war das Essen nicht schlecht, aber auch nichts besonderes. Für meinen Geschmack etwas langweilig gewürzt für vietnamesisches Essen. Die Reisnudeln waren für meinen Geschmack etwas überkocht und schwierig zu Essen (mit Besteck, keine Stäbchen), da sie relativ kurz waren. Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis insgesamt passt aus meiner Sicht nicht ganz, da kenne ich zumindest bessere und günstigere Alternativen. Update auf Antwort des Betreibers: ------------------------------------ Danke für Ihren schnellen Kommentar auf meine Bewertung! Ggfs. habe ich mich tatsächlich verlesen, aber ich meine ich hätte ein Mittagsmenü bestellt. Davon abgesehen war die Portionsgröße für mich in Ordnung. Ich hätte mir für den Preis nur etwas mehr Würze, Aromen bzw. Umami gewünscht. Hier ist geschmacklich jedenfalls noch Luft nach oben. Mit Getränk liegt man preislich immerhin schon bei 17€, was ich für einen "Mittagstisch" schon ziemlich gehoben finde. Wäre wenigstens ein alkoholfreies Getränk inkludiert (z.B. ein warmer, grüner Tee) im Mittagstisch-Angebot, würde in meinen Augen zumindest das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passen. So bleibe ich leider vorerst bei 3 Sternen. Vielleicht ändere ich die Bewertung nach oben, wenn ich nächstes Mal etwas anderes bestelle und positiv überrascht werde. Ich wünsche Ihnen bis dahin alles Gute!

War mit meiner Tochter dort zum Essen. Das Ambiente war gemütlich, nettes Personal und echt leckeres Essen. Alles war frisch und auch die Cocktails waren mal ein neues Geschmackserlebnis. Schade, dass keine Desserts Angebote wurden. Ein Stern Abzug gab es für den Zustand der Damentoilette, da die Spülung kaputt (funktioniert aber) war, auch der Mülleimer mit den Papiertüchern überqoll und generell in einem desolaten Zustand war. Die Preise sind angemessen und ich würde für das Essen definitiv wieder kommen

Das Essen ist sehr lecker und schmeckt absolut frisch. Sehr netter Service

Tolles Ambiente, super Service leckeres Essen und eiskaltes Heineken. Ein perfekter Abend.

Super leckeres Essen Ultra liebe Bedienung Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend Lucia! Wir kommen so gerne wieder! Absolut empfehlenswert

Angenehme Atmosphäre und direkt in der Stadt. Essen war lecker und die Bedienung freundlich. Tolles kaffeeerlebnis !

Das Essen war okay, aber nicht überragend. Hatten zu den Frühlingsrollen die hauseigene Sauce und können diese nicht empfehlen da sie wässrig war. Der Service war gut, konnte aber noch etwas aufmerksamer sein. Die Musik am Abend unseres Besuches wäre passend für eine Bar gewesen, aber nicht für ein Restaurant. Einen bleibenden Eindruck konnten wir nicht gewinnen, so das es bei einem einmaligen Besuch bleiben wird.

War zum ersten Mal in diesem Restaurant. Schönes Ambiente und ein super freundlicher Service, der uns bei der Auswahl der Speisen behilflich war. Wir hatten die knusprig gebratene Ente mit extra Wokgemüse und der Orangenkokossauce.....mega lecker. Auch der Nachtisch Klebreisbällchen mit frischen Mangostreifen, einer Kokoscreme und Erdnuss-Sesamcrunch war super lecker. Ich komme sehr gerne wieder und werde dann die Meeresfrüchte in scharfer Sauce probieren.

5/5! Noch nie so lecker gegessen, Wahnsinns Service, alles sehr familiär - das passt einfach!

Sehr gut 👍 Toller Service und leckeres Essen. Kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr leckere und reichhaltige Suppe gegessen.

Gutes Essen, sehr nette Bedienung, top!

Ich habe 3 Abende in Kiel verbracht- am 2.Abend das Pho 1990 entdeckt und mich schockverliebt: das Essen und der Service haben 5 Sterne verdient.

Das Essen ist wirklich sehr gut, die Bedienung ausgesprochen freundlich und auch die Preise sind wirklich in Ordnung. Weiterer Vorteil: Nicht alle Gerichte enthalten, wie bei anderen asiatischen Restaurants üblich, Geschmacksverstärker o. ä. Und das Essen schmeckt dennoch ausgezeichnet!

Nice! Frisch,lecker, zuvorkommend und nicht wie mancher Asiate Deko-überladen! Preis war auch total okay...hab mich sehr wohl gefühlt!

Einfach nur wow! Wir waren spontan aufgrund der Bewertungen im Restaurant. Haben sofort einen Tisch zugewiesen bekommen und waren vom Geschmack begeistert. Leider wohnen wir zu weit weg. Aber bei der nächsten Küstentour kommen wir bestimmt wieder. Alles wahnsinnig hübsch angerichtet, der Laden ist im richtigen Ambiente und es schmeckt fantastisch!

Sehr leckeres Essen und sehr nette Bedienung, top

Schickes Restaurant mit sehr freundlicher Bedienung. Das Essen war sehr lecker und mehr als ausreichend (Pho).

Die Vorspeisen sind gut. Die Hauptspeisen haben allesamt nicht annähernd diese Note halten können. Ohne Geschmacksverstärker, ja. Leider auch ohne Geschmack.

Ein wirklich ausgezeichnetes vietnamesisches Restaurant. In einem Seitenarm der Fußgängerzone gelegen, vermeidet man den meisten Trubel. Das Ambiente ist nicht überspektakulär, aber genau das gefällt mir auch, denn man sitzt nicht inmitten einer riesigen Menschenmenge. Die Bedienung ist freundlich und erfahrungsgemäß blitzschnell. Das Essen (Ich hatte Pho Suppe und ein mariniertes Fleischgericht mit Reis) ist nicht nur unheimlich lecker, sondern bietet auch ein sehr erfrischendes, neues Geschmackserlebnis. Und das alles wie ich finde, zu sehr guten Preisen im Verhältnis zur Portionsgröße. Meine einzige Kritik wären die Stühle im Außenbereich, die sind leider nicht sonderlich bequem, ein paar Sitzkissen würden da schon helfen. Aber das hat das Gesamterlebnis nur minimal beeinträchtigt. Alles in allem, kann ich Pho 1990 jedem empfehlen, der in Kiel mal eine neue traditionelle Küche probieren möchte. Ich komme definitiv wieder!

Super netter Service und top Qualität beim Essen! Sehr authentisch! Hunde sind willkommen und bekommen auch direkt etwas zu trinken. Jederzeit wieder, wenn ich in Kiel bin.

Die Gerichte waren ein Fest für den Gaumen, super frisches und knackiges Gemüse, perfekt gebratenes Fleisch. Zuvorkommender Service, Wartezeiten waren okay.

Heute das erste mal dort gewesen, super schöner laden mit sehr nette und höfliche Mitarbeiter, das Essen war sehr lecker, die Lage ist auch super am alten Markt. Im ganzen kann ich das nur weiter empfehlen nicht das Lezte mal dort gewesen

Es war richtig lecker. Großartiger Service und tolles Essen. Bis zum nächsten Mal

Total nette Mitarbeiter, und geschmacklich war das Essen auch top! Nach der Vorspeise ging es zügig mit dem Hauptgang weiter und es entstand keine lange Wartezeit. Auf jeden Fall auch für Vegetarier oder Veganer geeignet. Die Getränke waren sehr lecker, nur ein bisschen viel Eiswürfel drin. Alles in einem sehr zu empfehlen!
