Restaurant JaViệt in Kiel

I have reviewed this place before and nothing has changed. Strange that Google, which follows you constantly and everywhere, asks me again for a review.

I've eaten here several times and have always been quite satisfied. The food is fresh and tasty, the selection of dishes is good. The service so far hasn't necessarily been outstanding, but at least it's okay. Today, however, the service was a complete disaster: completely annoyed, unmotivated, bored and unfriendly - one star is actually too much for that. The request for additional coriander was only reluctantly granted after asking twice, and to order drinks and desserts we had to ask quite late for someone to finally come to the table. Finally we grabbed the menu from the counter ourselves. Three people were constantly hanging around behind the counter and doing everything they could to ignore the guests. If a guest did manage to get their attention, all that was needed was for them to roll their eyes in annoyance. No wonder that the restaurant was very empty overall - who wants to feel unwelcome and be treated unfriendly by annoyed staff? I'll rather spend my money in other restaurants in the future, JaViêt won't see me again any time soon!

Food was super tasty, everything was fresh, good portions, Pho highly recommended. Wasn't here for the first time.

Edit: I really loved the quality of this restaurant and before entering a second night, I checked hours posted outside and continued to ask if they were open. Instead a gentleman said no on a Saturday night while others were seated or eating before closing (I just wanted takeout). While I respect the establishment, a simple sign could have been posted they won’t entertain guests past a certain point to help them make things easier so people don’t come in.

We have been here several times and we always enjoyed it. However, the taste of some of the main courses was a bit poor, which is a shame given the price. However, the sushi still tastes really great. Also.the drinks and the sesame balls are always very good. The employees are always very friendly. However, it often takes a long time until you can order or pay for another drink, for example. It's worth visiting occasionally, but you have to plan a lot of time and, depending on what you want to eat, money.

Probably the best red curry chicken I've ever had. Lots of food on the plate, fresh produce and really well prepared. The sushi was also very delicious. Good service and they spoke good English. Cozy and inviting premises. Everything really top notch.

Absolutely delicious and very cheap for lunch

Very friendly service and delicious food :) The price is okay, but a little higher.

Well-attended restaurant. It took a long time for our order to be taken. We were very thirsty. The food came very quickly. Food like any other Asian restaurant. Totally ok in terms of price. Had to go to the bar for an Aperol Spritz, the staff were rarely seen. The Aperol was good. All in all tasty and a bit loud, but not surprising given the number of people.

A good and pleasant place that serves both Vietnamese food but also sushi and what goes with Thai dishes. Really good food and nice arrangements

Very good Vietnamese restaurant. Very tasty pho soup, duck and rice noodle dishes. Friendly service and fair prices. We enjoyed being here.

Standard Vietnamese food, but they also had Japanese and Thai. Served very quickly.

Had the salmon bowl. It was tasty and also a great portion. The rice paper rolls could have had a little more flavor.

My wife and I have often bought food away from home here. We have therefore eaten many different vegetarian curries. Very tasty every time…and again and again

My favorite restaurant because everyone is friendly and attentive and fast, and also very clean. I'd love to come back.

Diverse sushi selection, noodle dish is ok.

Had the vegetarian summer rolls as a starter, having never had them before. Found it very tasty. I can recommend. Otherwise, the three of us shared a large plate of sushi. The quantity was okay. The taste is also completely fine. Nothing special but not bad either. Very nice service.

I had a delicious lunch here. Sushi are freshly prepared, look good and taste good. I'll be back.

Everything is just great! Best sushi 🍣 in Kiel!!!

I eat here everytime im in Kiel, it's great food! Love the tempura sushi.

This is a really delicious Vietnamese restaurant. I was very satisfied with both the taste, service and cleanliness!

We eat there more often or order takeaway. The quality and service are always great! The staff is always friendly and pleasantly unobtrusive. We'd love to come back again and again!

We ordered our food from the restaurant to take home. Both the yellow and red curry were unacceptable. Tasteless, watered down, overcooked vegetables and the worst tofu we have ever been served. I then complained to the restaurant by telephone in a very respectful and friendly manner and asked for their goodwill. I was just told that there was nothing we could do and we had to live with it. We accept that accordingly and I recommend ordering somewhere else.

We've been there several times. Delicious. Large selection of great dishes. Very creatively done. Staff is always friendly and accommodating

Very friendly service. The starter was the fried shrimp (incredibly tasty) and the main course was the pasta with beef. Large portion, very tasty. Including 2 cocktails, the final price was completely reasonable. I really like the atmosphere.

Fast delivery, delicious/warm food, unfortunately no cutlery.

Fast service, the food is always very good and the portions are generous.

Nice ambience. Nice service. The wait wasn't too long even though the restaurant was full and we liked the food too.

The food was very tasty and the place was very cozy. Absolutely to suggest.

Nice staff and the food tastes excellent!! There is also free WiFi. The shop looks great from the inside and the sushi tastes traditional Vietnamese too!😋 Highly recommended for sushi lovers!

Incredibly delicious food. Lukewarm pasta salad with chicken or grilled fish plate, incredible. First time there and definitely not the last time. Top 👍

The food was so very good, I had the duck from F1 and the rolls from C4 I would have liked a bit of chili in F1 but still insanely good The only slight comment I have is that I didn't get a new glass when I got a new different beer

A very nicely decorated restaurant. The dishes, which increased significantly in price after the VAT increase, were OK. After such a significant price jump, you could have tried a little harder. The duck was a bit dry and fresh vegetables were a bit rare on the plate. It should also be mentioned that the service was very friendly and the food was delivered quickly, but after that no one came to the table to accept further drink requests. Simply ask whether there are any other requests (drinks). This also increases sales.

Food was good and abundant with low prices. Menu in English very helpful!

We've been here a lot now. The food is always very tasty. The staff is also extremely friendly

The food was super tasty. The waitresses were very nice and there was a nice atmosphere. We'll definitely go there again.

Very, very tasty! I can only recommend it. The fact that around three quarters of all tables were already occupied at 7 p.m. also speaks for the restaurant.

Very tasty food, friendly service. Tip: the homemade lemonades!

One of the many Asian options in kiel. This is near the arena and serves good vietnamese good. The starters are nice and the vietnamese drip coffee is authentic.

Very friendly service. However, I would have liked to have been able to react to our empty glasses. Our dishes were good and plentiful. The red curry with tofu wasn't too spicy. The Terriyaki duck was well seasoned. A bit boring. Adding some vegetables would definitely have enhanced the dish and made it more varied.

We often go to Ja Viet because, in my opinion, the price/performance ratio is right. When there is a lot to do, the service is a little less. Otherwise we were also asked whether it was tasty or whether we would like anything else. I really like the food here.

Very tasty food, good portions and nice service

I ordered Bún bò Nam Bộ and a Tuna Sushi Set. The Bún bò Nam Bộ, which I know from Vietnam, is served lukewarm, as it is on the menu. It arrived hot and was slightly off. Nevertheless, it tasted good and only gets criticism because I expected something different. The sushi was good, nothing special.

Unfortunately, the duck breast was a little too well done and therefore dry. A pity. The seaweed salad was great.

Delicious food and drinks. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. We liked it very much.

A location that cannot be found like it. Food served great with lots of vegetables and well prepared. Price-performance ratio I give it a 1. Super nicely furnished. Have me today. Host thanks for the great service.

Thank you for super delicious food. We got bowls, sushi, spring rolls and coconut soup and it all tasted fantastic! Also their mango lassi and avocado lassi were delicious. The staff were also nice and welcoming. Thanks for tonight!

A very tasty meal, fresh vegetables and, if you want, spicy Thanks so much

All nice. Also as a vegetarian version.

Absolute feel-good atmosphere with the best cuisine. Always happy!!!

Food and service ok, price still reasonable

We stopped by spontaneously and were allowed to take a seat in the rather empty restaurant. But only for an hour and a half... then the table will be needed. OK! Food was very tasty and the portion was generous. Location also quite good. Only the service wasn't good. Unfriendly and inattentive. There was no feeling of welcome...

Except for the duck, the food was very tasty. The lady from the service was rather cold and unfriendly. Plates were cleared away very late, ordering dessert or drinks was difficult because you tend to be ignored. Very unfortunate. What good is a delicious meal if the service is unfriendly...

Delicious Vietnamese, Asian and sushi (what a combo). Friendly service and delicious food

Very fresh, tasty, and large portions

A clear positive surprise. Fresh, very tasty and optimal portion. Good selection at fair prices. We will definitely come back when we are in the area again.

Food very good. Price performance is right. In my opinion, it's number 1 among Kiel's Vietnamese, with the Sidewalk in Holtenauer! .

Pho is good and worthy. The curry is not good. The fried duck is so dry and not juicy at all. The curry is dilute and rich in flavour. The service and the atmosphere is very good.

Stopped in spontaneously (without reservation) because we were in Kiel for a short trip...eat and drank very tasty...we'll be going back next day...we'll definitely visit again when we're back in Kiel

Very good food..... We ordered 3 large cokes, when we got them they were sugar free. They were exchanged for regular Cokes. But have never tried to get sugar free without asking for it

The sushi is not recommended here. You also have to pay close attention to ensure that you receive what you ordered.

I was in this restaurant for the first time today. Unfortunately, I didn't think it was that great. I ordered sushi for lunch and the soup that came with it. The soup was good, I have to say. But the sushi wasn't quite what I would have liked. It looked pretty good, but unfortunately it tasted dry, bland and fell apart when I picked it up. Also, I got the wrong food. I ordered a sushi menu with salmon, but got a vegetarian one with cucumber and avocado. I called the waitress and told her I got the wrong food. She apologized to me later, I said that I would just eat the sushi, but then I would also like to be charged the price for the food that I actually GOT, because it was cheaper. She agreed with me at that moment, unfortunately it was not taken into account in the end and I had to pay the price for the salmon sushi. A visit doesn't necessarily have to be repeated.

Had lunch today, the soup was bland and had hardly any ingredients, the dish was tasty, but the chicken pieces and the salad were very poor in quantity.

Very nice restaurant where you immediately felt very comfortable. We were well looked after and the food was delicious.

Leckeres Essen, man sitzt hier ganz gut. Bedienung ok.

Super lecker. Coole Kombi aus Sushi und Viet

Das vietnamesische Restaurant bietet einen herausragenden Kundenservice, der unübertroffen ist. Die Qualität der Speisen ist exzellent und übertrifft alle Erwartungen. Dazu kommen faire Preise, die das Gesamterlebnis zu einem absoluten Genuss machen.

The salmon if the sushi was smelly and gone bad. We sent it back, but the owner still charged for it. Never again

Wir waren am dritten Advent im JaViet um 18:00h zu Gast. Das Restaurant war zu einem Drittel besucht. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Preise angemessen. Das Ambiente ist...okay. Leider hat der Service noch einige Luft nach oben. Zwischen dem abräumen der Vorspeisen und dem servieren der Hauptspeisen vergingen mehr als dreißig Minuten. Auch das nachbestellen von Getränken gestaltete sich schwierig weil es der Bedienung an Aufmerksamkeit mangelt.

Bester Asiate der Stadt . Super Essen , nettes Ambiente und gute Lage , wenn es noch weiter geht 🥳

Leckeres Essen und Trinken freundliches Personal. Empfehlenswert

Das asiatische Essen war lecker(Mittagstisch) und reichlich. Der Preis absolut angemessen. Das Restaurant selber ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Ich war heute Abend das erste Mal hier, die Bedienung war freundlich und schnell. DieRäumlichkeiten sind großzügig und nicht überladen ausgestattet. Unsere Fragen wurden freundlich und hilfreich beantwortet. Das Essen kam schnell,sah ansprechend aus und schmeckte uns sehr gut. Wir hatten Seafoodbowl, Sushi und Pho.Ich werde sicher gerne wiederkommen!

Ambiente okay, preis Leistung und Geschmack 5 Sterne. ☺️

Very nice food 👍👍👍 The ventilation in the kitchen, not so much.......💨 But would definitely come back.

Der Seevice war etwas lahm, was das gute Essen wieder wett gemacht hat. Das Ambiente war eine Mischund aus Modern und Tradition, aber mehr modern.

Das Essen ist ganz gut und auch hübsch angerichtet. Der Service war leider (zumindest bei uns) ein wenig fragwürdig. Auf die Frage, ob ein Gericht auch ohne Fleisch oder Tofu gehen würde, würden wir ziemlich seltsam darauf hingewiesen, dass das nicht ginge. Auch wusste die Bedienung leider oft nicht, wofür die Bezeichnung stand (bei Sushi: Womit das dann gefüllt war etc.) Das stärkte das Vertrauen in den Laden nicht unbedingt. Alles in Allem war es schon okay, wird aber wahrscheinlich nicht unser Lieblingsladen

Lækker frisk tilberedt mad. Sprøde grøntsager og mørt kylling. Godt med smag og Chili 🙂☀️ Fornuftige priser på både mad og drikkevarer 🍷🍻🍶

Sehr empfehlenswerte Location, mit köstlichen, preiswerten Speisen und freundlichem Service. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Waren Samstagabend für 50 Euro/Person hier essen. Nachdem es mit der Aufnahme der Bestellung etwas lange gedauert hat (Restaurant war voll), ging es dann doch zügig weiter. Quantität des Essens ist sehr gut. Lieber etwas weniger Essen, aber dafür besseren Geschmack. Da fehlt es an mehr Pepp der vietnamesisch-asiatischen Küche. An den deutschen Geschmack adaptiertes chinesisches Einerlei brauchen wir ja eigentlich nicht in einem vietnameschen Restaurant. Der gegrillte (Tinten)Fisch schmeckte nicht nach gegrillt. Für volle 5 Punkte muss definitiv noch was draufgelegt werden. Pho kann man dort allerdings sehr gut essen.

Schöne Mittagskarte; das Essen ist lecker und preiswert

Super lecker. Schöne Atmosphäre....kommen gerne wieder

Überraschend leckeres Essen - nichts Besonderes, aber fein abgestimmt, nett angerichtet und mit frischen Zutaten zubereitet. Der Service war typisch asiatisch zurückhaltend und emotionslos, die Räumlichkeiten sauber und aufgelockert eingerichtet. Die Preise sind durchschnittlich und dem, was man dafür bekommt, mehr als angemessen.

Ein sehr schönes vietnamesisches Restaurant mit freundlichen Mitarbeitern. Dass Essen schmeckt gut. Liegt zentral in der Nähe der wunderino-arena. Für abends sollte man schon vorher reservieren, nachmittags geht es auch so. Bietet auch Mittagstisch an. Preis - Leistungsverhältnis super. Besuch lohnt sich.

Wow. Zum ersten Mal da gewesen und es war einfach soooo gut. Ambiente ist Klasse, Bedingung freundlich und das Essen ist der Hammer.

Great place, Great food, great service, fair price

Trotzdem wir nicht reserviert haben, bekamen wir einen schönen Platz. Das Sushi war frisch und lecker. Das Serviceteam war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt ein schöner Abend

Super gutes Essen nur bei der Getränke Bestellung könnte es etwas schneller gehen. Sonst alles gut 👍

Essen war sehr lecker. Service sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.

Hier ist es immer lecker und sehr freundlich. Besonders zu empfehlen ist die Tempura Rolle Buddy Tamago vom vegetarischen Sushi und das rote Curry.

Sehr positiv überrascht! Das Lokal bietet schöne Sitzplätze, guten Service und eine kreative Karte mit wohlschmeckenden Gerichten.

The food was alright, the roter curry was quite sweet. The service was not good.

Bardzo dobre wietnamskie dania w przystępnych cenach.

Go for the lunch sushi specials!

Wirkliche ein tolles Restaurant was uns immer wieder überzeugt. Die Auswahl ist groß und es gibt auch wirklich viele vegetarische Gerichte. Das Essen schmeckt wirklich himmlisch und ist sehr schön angerichtet. Die Wartezeiten sind genauso wie die Preise voll okay. Wir werden wieder kommen!

Sehr frische Ware.Toller Kaffee und günstiger Mittagstisch.

Serh angenehmes kleines Restaurant am Rand der Kieler Innenstadt. mit freundlichem Service. sehr leckerem Essen und schön udn stimmiger Einrichtung, leider gibt es manchmal sprachliche Schwierigkeiten bei der bestellaufnahme, doch nichts das sich nicht irgendwie klären lässt, das Essen, sämtlich lecker und im gesamten eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Lohnt sich für jeden der gerne Vietnamesich (asiatisch) isst!

Sehr lecker.Ambiente ist sehr toll.Der Service ging schnell.

Super leckeres Essen, netter Service, Urlaubs feeling!
