Reiskorn - Vietnamese restaurant in Metzingen

The ambiance at Reiskorn was generally clean, however, a strong chlorine smell, reminiscent of a swimming pool, was bothersome! The menu was far too large and confusingly laid out, making it difficult to choose. Unfortunately, my vegetarian dish was served incorrectly – it contained chicken instead of tofu. The vegetables were overcooked, and the coconut sauce had an unpleasantly sour taste. The sometimes very positive reviews are a real mystery to us. It was also noticeable that a table with alcoholic beverages was freely accessible, marked with a sign that read "Drink as much as you want and can," which I find rather inappropriate in a restaurant. Overall, the visit did not meet our expectations.

We've eaten at Reiskorn many times and have tried various dishes and appetizers. The food is consistently delicious and beautifully presented. The service is very attentive and friendly, and booking a table online is quick and easy. We'll definitely be back!

Very nice vegan options, fresh food combined with friendly service and nice ambience music. Everything was clean and wait time for meals were not too long. Definitely recommendable.

Edit 5/12/2025: After having to eat here again last month for a family celebration—despite my reservations—and with a few "Vietnam newbies" in the group, my review is *slightly* better this time. I'm revising my original three-star rating upwards by one star because the consensus in the group was that the food was "okay" and "good," even though I personally still believe that the food at this restaurant isn't worth the money and is simply too expensive. Yes, energy crisis, yes, more expensive raw materials, yes, inflation, BUT a small but excellent Vietnamese snack bar in Reutlingen also offers me excellent Vietnamese food at significantly lower prices, and the taste of this place can't compare. (If you want to know which snack bar I mean, just Google "Vietnam snack bar Reutlingen"—it's the top-rated result.) Since we had a wide variety of dishes and I was able to try them all, it became clear to me that some dishes were definitely better prepared, while others were simply bland and lacked any real flavor. I found the beef dishes rather dull, but the chicken and fish dishes with mango or peanuts were much more varied. Ultimately, as is so often the case, it comes down to personal taste, and just because I, as a fairly experienced Asian food eater, didn't particularly enjoy the dishes doesn't mean the food here is bad. It's just not my cup of tea. Previous review: Well, how does one give a fair and unbiased review? As a European who has never been to Vietnam, I can only compare it to other Vietnamese restaurants in Germany, and here, the rice grain doesn't fare well. The food was bland across the board. There were six of us, and we had a wide selection of dishes, including fried noodles, curries, and mixed seafood such as cuttlefish, salmon, and king prawns. While there was nothing wrong with the vegetables, all the dishes tended to taste salty and sweet. There was hardly any of the wide variety of fresh coriander, tamarind, or even limegrass, which was a real shame. Only the beef soup with rice noodles was rich and hearty, as it should be, and the bao bao steamers were also very good. However, with a total bill of almost €180, it unfortunately left a... well... bland aftertaste, quite literally. The extremely long wait – in an almost empty restaurant – didn't help matters, so I can only give it a disappointed three stars. I doubt we'll ever come back. This was only my second time, and I think I've had enough. If there were no decent alternatives in the entire Metzingen/Reutlingen/Tübingen area, then okay, but since there are more than enough good Thai and Vietnamese restaurants...thanks, no.

I'm so grateful to have discovered this Vietnamese restaurant. I never drive through Metzingen without stopping here. The food is incredibly delicious and prepared with love. I highly recommend it! The owner is also a very welcoming host. There's also free customer parking. 11/29/2025

I ordered food to go late on a holiday. I was not expecting much but the food turned out to be super tasty. The quantity is good too. On my way out the boss took time to help me with packing the food on my bike. It was a very kind gesture. I would return again.

It was delicious. I would come again. ☺️

Very tasty Vietnamese food, quiet location but only a few minutes walk from the train station, ideal after a hike and also an extra stop after the Uracher waterfall is worthwhile!!!

Free appetizer with dinner. The spring rolls are good, and the summer rolls are also delicious. The peanut sauce is very good; I haven't had anything like it anywhere else. We ordered rice dishes with chicken and crispy duck, one with soy sauce and the rest with oyster sauce and lemongrass. Everything was delicious! And the portions are generous, too! Excellent value for money! The service is also good. We will always come here when we're in the area.

We were there on Friday afternoon, but even though the opening hours are posted everywhere (Google, website, and on the entrance door!), it was closed. There was no sign indicating they were open for business or anything like that. We won't be coming again if we can't rely on whether the place is open or not.

Awesome. There's nothing more to say. 5 out of 5. You just take the ambience as it is.

Good Vietnamese cuisine, friendly service.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the Metzingen Outlet. We drove there; it would have been too long to walk from the outlet. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. We really enjoyed it, and the lunch specials are great value for money. The service was very attentive. Only the chairs outside could be a bit more comfortable. We would come back anytime.

Very delicious Vietnamese cuisine☺️

The food was very tasty, the prices were fair and the staff were very nice. There was also a free ginger tea. We would go back!

The chef is a great host; we always feel very welcome. Good food and a wide selection. Always a pleasure ☺️

The owner is really kind and is open for small talk! The food was great you almost felt like you were on a trip in vietnam (but without the hot weather or the different culture) It’s great when you want to go to Vietnamese restaurant after your trip to Vietnam

War sehr nett. Der Chefkoch war srhr freundlich wie eh und je. Das Essen war sehr nach Heimat Vietnam. Für Leute die vietnamesisch lieben oder probieren wollen, sehr zu empfehlen. Werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!!

After visiting Metzingen Outlet City, we were looking for a good restaurant, and Vietnamese food immediately caught our eye. We received a very warm welcome and extremely friendly service. The selection is very extensive, with something for everyone, and you're spoiled for choice. You can easily pass the time until dinner by enjoying an aperitif at the in-house bar. A truly nice gesture 🤲 The food is truly fantastic, tastefully presented and truly delicious, with generous portions. We were completely satisfied and would gladly return ☺️

Bin zum Mittagessen hier gewesen. Das Essen war lecker und frisch zubereitet. Das nächste Mal komme ich gerne wieder..

War sehr lecker. Frisch zubereitete Speisen. Sehr netter,aufmerksamer und zuvorkommender Service. Kinderportionen auch für Jugendliche möglich.

Very good food, great selection. Polite and friendly manager. We always enjoy coming here!

Really great food with authentic touch and awesome service. Highly recommended! You can also sit on the terrace when it’s sunny.

Super good and authentic Vietnamese food. Quality and way of cooking is amazing. Even better service and prices! We love coming here every time.

Super good and authentic Vietnamese food. Even better service and prices! We love coming here every time.

I ordered food to pick up. It was very tasty, hot, appetizingly prepared, ready on time and packaged without any aluminum. Tip top! I'll be back!

Always a pleasure! The food is authentic and no matter what we order, it's always great! Large portions and really cheap. Amazing with this mega memory card. The ambience is almost surreal: old wine bar with annoying relaxing music and TV with non-stop travel reports.

Delicious food, with a large selection and generous portions. Great ambience with relaxed music and nice decor.

After we were there again after a long time, the drinks prices unfortunately reached a level that is now too high - I'm sorry. Food continues to be delicious, friendly service, otherwise everything is fine. P.S. Better save the free schnapps buffet...

Very tasty food, always worth a visit.

Very tasty authentic food and friendly service. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back

Rarely eaten so authentic and delicious, big recommendation!

Very tasty food. I think lunch until 4 p.m. is great. Get another ginger shot on the house. What more could you want?

Super tasty, no matter what you order. We order there about once a month for several years. Preferably the pho soup with the mango salad. The

The Pho is really highly recommended! All other dishes are delicious and fresh. The service was very attentive and friendly

The food was as delicious as in Vietnam

Super tasty and great value for money. Unfortunately a bit hidden.

Very good food. Nice ambience. The food is the best in the area. The price is cheap for the top quality. We like to eat there.

Super delicious food and very friendly service. We'd love to come back. By the way: Great idea with the freely selectable aperitif from the small table.

Always good, no gooey sauce like in many other Asian restaurants. With lots of fresh herbs.

Authentic and delicious cuisine. Nice service.

The food was good and the service is friendly. But why do the drinks have to be so incredibly expensive?

Food average and not 100% convincing. A bit expensive, such as B. the starter plate for 2 people. Far too small and everything was left on the heat for too long, making it very dry. It's a shame, but as an Asian foot lover I can't confirm the previous reviews.

Very tasty, healthy food with lots of herbs. We'll be back. 👍👌

Excellent Vietnamese food . Must try . Good quality and good quantity.

Update 2024 Still everything 😋 Very good food, freshly prepared and tasty. Was there for the 4th time and always very satisfied. Also delicious when picked up.

Very tasty, I recommend it from the whole stomach. 😀

We go there to eat every time we are in Metzingen. It is super tasty and authentic. The boss is really nice and polite and his wife is in the kitchen.

Very tasty fresh food, a lot of emphasis is placed on the food, everything is very fresh. Cleanliness is also very good 👍 The owner is also very friendly and there are no long waiting times. We have never eaten something so delicious and will definitely come again. Highly recommended.

The food and service is super good. I can fully recommend it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

***** Super delicious food and great service *****

Very nice and attentive staff, delicious fresh and light cuisine, top food!... we are happy to be guests here

delicious food - and perfect in the shade on the terrace in summer

Food very tasty! Fast service. Very friendly.

Great food as usual. Polite and friendly service. From reservation to payment, everything goes perfectly. Anytime again.😀👍

Very good Vietnamese restaurant. The food was very tasty, everything freshly prepared. The dessert to melt away... very friendly service! I'd love to come back!

Incredible! Really authentic and delicious! Great service and even a “free bar” in the evening Really worth a visit! Fantastic

Very polite and dedicated service, food was delicious. Ambiance outside is pleasant, inside rather rustic/a bit older. We will be back.

Food was tasty. However, I was a bit surprised to see that the lunch menu was small. I’ll have to come back to look at the dinner menu. The owner also gave us free homemade tea to digest the food.

Medium sized restaurant located in a residential area. You should find parking spaces on the street. The food is delicious and the menu offers enough choice. The boss is nice. The ambience is a bit old-fashioned German (oak rustic). We are happy to recommend it and will come back. Addendum August 2nd, 2024: after several years of regular visits, I always find delicious food here and am served very well. Definitely suitable for vegetarians and I'm increasing my rating from 4 to 5 stars. Any time!

Price above average, quality below average. Disappointing, not recommended

Large portions, super tasty soups, all refined with fresh herbs. Various liqueurs for self-service.

I am Vietnamese myself and have always missed a good, authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Metzingen. Now it's finally here! The selection of dishes is great. There are dishes that you would otherwise only get in Viet metropolises like Berlin, they taste great and the staff is friendly throughout. We felt at home and will be back!

Food was horrendous my dish the beef pepper was inedible my partners dish the tofu with peanut sauce was slightly edible. Have left with a horrible taste.. our server was super nice but sadly the food wasn't

Really delicious! Only recommended. Value for money, great 👍

Very nice, quiet place for a relaxed Asian meal with family and friends.

Delicious, authentic food and a relaxed atmosphere. Nice service, special requests are taken into account. We have been regular guests for many years and always enjoy coming back. Definitely 5 stars!

Very lovingly furnished and super flavorful food, courteous service 🥰

Very authentic Vietnamese food. Very large portions and very very tasty. 10/10

Were you here a few times and it certainly wasn't the last time. Food is inexpensive and delicious.

Very good service and super delicious food. I can only recommend.

Wir kommen regelmäßig ins Reiskorn. Sehr nette aufmerksame. Bedienung. Essen immer frisch. Ausgezeichnete Qualität

Very good, TOP price/performance ratio

The food was very tasty and the price was right!!!

The food is really good. The service is outstanding. It keeps me coming back.

Great selection and very good food. Thank you for the friendly service.

Cozy delicious Vietnamese restaurant

We met for a meal among colleagues. I was already familiar with the restaurant and had been there before. The dishes are very fine and are absolutely not a mass-produced product. You can taste the fine spices and notice that the cooking here is done with passion. It is highly recommended and anyone who likes Asian cuisine should reserve a place here. The boss or the waiter takes a bit of getting used to, as he appears rather strict. Maybe that's just his style. The menu is also very extensive, you can always find something that appeals to you. I/we will definitely go there again. 4 stars because the boss was a bit strange and the good mood suffered a bit as a result. But that's not really the point... Food was great👍

A very nice and courteous boss, the atmosphere is calming and you can really eat everything on the menu!

Very tasty food, super friendly and very attentive service. Nice aquarium :)

Very fresh herbs and delicious food….

We always enjoy going to Reiskorn. Delicious Vietnamese food in a nice atmosphere. Recommendation!

Wonderful food, you can't get that everywhere. Really very fresh and delicious

Small but nice and can also be picked up, the food is very tasty and the price is right!

Amazing experience! Food is good, service is good

Quite authentic atmosphere with nice staff and quick service. Highly recommended!

Very tasty, not Asian fast food but authentic food. Large selection and large portions

Very nice staff and very, very good summer rolls to roll yourself! Also gives free liquor. Everyone was very excited!

Super delicious food. Very diverse map

Food is very tasty. Just one service for the entire restaurant is definitely not enough. It is also stressful when ordering (the request for chopsticks remained the request). Price is high for an Asian in this atmosphere (not too expensive).

Gut! Das wäre meine knappe Bewertung. Sehr viel Auswahl, sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Service. Was ich sehr gut fand, der Fokus lag auf dem Essen und wir konnten in Ruhe auswählen, essen und reden ohne uns gehetzt zu fühlen, wie es gerade in anderen Restaurants üblich zu sein scheint. Unsere Vorspeisen waren verschiedene Frühlingsrollen, die sehr heiß und frisch mit zwei verschiedenen Soßen auf den Tisch kamen. Wir bekamen eine Erklärung, was mit welcher Soße gegessen werden soll. Auch beim Hauptgang haben wir etwas Besonderes ausprobiert und selber gerollt. Das wurde uns erklärt und hat gut geklappt. Mit einem kleinen Augenzwinkern, hier lieber mit den Fingern zu essen, statt mit Stäbchen.

If you want to eat authentically, you're in good hands here. The price is a little higher, but very good, courteous service. Recently there were just free shots for self-service, the table was full of different wines etc. Even the door is held open for you when you leave.

After shopping at the outlet, we still wanted some Vietnamese food. We ended up in this restaurant because of the good Google reviews and after a delicious and, in my opinion, very authentic meal, we went home happy and full. Since I have been to Southeast Asia several times, it is comparable to the food that is cooked there. The decor in the restaurant is rather German, bourgeois, everything is very clean and the food is a taste journey into a completely different culinary world. We had summer rolls with avocado, coconut soup with shrimp, three different dumplings, rice noodles under mango sticky rice. All highly recommended. Dee host is very friendly and happy to explain how the food should be eaten. An absolute recommendation and please eat there to continue to maintain this variety of cuisines in Metzingen.

Very nice host who goes out of his way to ensure that his guests are satisfied. The food was also very tasty and beautifully prepared. The large menu also has something for everyone, whether meat lovers, vegetarians or vegans. We will definitely stop by again!

Waren spontan in diesem Restaurant und es hat sich geschmacklich sehr gelohnt. Service war sehr nett 👍🏻 essen war sehr lecker 😋 und heiß 👌🏻würde es jeden empfehlen…

Super gemütlicher Wirtshaus Vietnamese, leckeres Essen, nicht ganz so sehr an den westlichen Geschmack angepasst. Sehr frisch und lecker.

Wer vietnamesische Küche mag ist hier genau richtig. Man muss zwar ein bisschen Zeit mitbringen und auf jedenfall vorher reservieren aber es ist definitiv ein Besuch wert. Richtig frische und authentische vietnamnesische Speisen. Liebevoll zubereitet und angerichtet und super super lecker.

Authentisch vietnamesisches Restaurant in rustikalem Ambiente. Essen immer sehr frisch und sensationell lecker. Vegetarische Auswahl gut. Service zurückhaltend aber immer freundlich. Preise angemessen. Wir kommen immer wieder sehr gerne!

Sehr leckeres Essen gute Qualität Und nette Bedienung. Ich war positiv überrascht

Wenn man die Erwartungen nicht an die hohen Preise knüpft, dann ist es in Ordnung. Die Fliegen waren im Außenbereich sehr unangenehm.
