Shimai in München

Nice restaurant with good food and good service.

Normal quality, overall okay. There are cheaper Vietnamese restaurants for the same quality.

Wie immer eine sehr gute Erfahrung beim Mittagessen: Service sehr freundlich und schnell und Qualität des Essens unverändert auf hohem Niveau. Beweis dafür: alle Tische waren belegt, und sie mussten sogar ein paar paar Leute zurückschicken. :-)

Very tasty food! Good service, nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the seating is a bit tight.

Kurz: Authentisch gut ! Frischer Geschmack, sehr aufmerksamer Service und gute Präsentation der schmackhaften Speisen. Auch unser großer gut erzogener Hund war herzlich willkommen und uns wurde ein anderer Tisch als geplant mit mehr Platz zugeteilt, obwohl der Gastraum voll war. Wir kommen gerne wieder , wenn wir in München sind.

The four of us were at Shimai on Saturday evening, at 6:00 p.m., before going to the cinema. We wanted to have a nice meal. Conclusion: We haven't experienced such a good, professional gastronomic performance for a long time. Everything was perfect, from the reservation to the farewell. Respect and compliments to the team. We would love to come back.

Our lunch at Shimai was absolutely delicious. The chicken wings and special duck buns were amazing as was the miso edamame guacamole. Plus the atmosphere was cozy and quiet, perfect for a Sunday lunch in November. Our server was kind and attentive. We highly recommend this little gem in Munich!

Authentic and incredibly delicious! Price performance is very good and the peanut sauce is breathtaking. The staff/service as well as the ambience and especially the food are top notch - definitely recommended!

Auch hier war ich zum wiederholten Male Essen denn jeder hat eine zweite Chance verdient. Und ich muss sagen , dass unser Besuch diesmal ein Volltreffer war. Schöner Tisch sehr sehr aufmerksamer Service,freundlich und charmant noch dazu und das Essen einfach alles perfekt. Super leckere Garnelen Vorspeise und dann eines der geschmacklich besten Currys die ich in letzter Zeit außerhalb von Asien hatte. Toll wieder hier gewesen zu sein, auf Bald ✌🏽

A super cool restaurant with very good food. We recommend the appetizer platter for 2 people which was simply brilliant and delicious. Unfortunately, the service was a bit difficult to find 😞 but it can be a lot of stress. Still highly recommended 🙌👍

Fast and friendly service. The food was good. Vegetables and herbs were fresh. Not exactly cheap.

Das Shimai ist eines der besten Restaurants der Stadt, ganz klar! Das Ambiente ist super gemütlich und einladend, dennoch sehr lebhaft, das Essen ist der absolute Wahnsinn, sowohl die Auswahl als auch der Geschmack, der Service ist erstklassig. Auch die Drinks sind hervorragend, eine große Auswahl an Whiskeys ist an der Bar vorhanden. Eine absolute Empfehlung!

Sehr schönes Restaurant und der Service ist perfekt.

Eine tolöe Location. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und hatten einen tollen Service und super leckeres Essen. Wir kommen sicher wieder

Das Shimai rückt zu meinem Lieblings-Asiaten auf. Der Geschmack, die Qualität und der hervorragende Service sind spitze!

A great Asian restaurant in Munich. Extensive menu, delicious, imaginative and lovingly prepared dishes. We'll be back, especially since the service was quick and courteous.

Great restaurant, great food and good service. Really great! Only the way the guests are basically thrown out of the restaurant before and after the 2 hour blocking time has expired is questionable. Especially if you still have drinks. Tip: you have plenty of places outside with heaters, so you can kindly ask guests to sit down and drink up. Start being more creative. That's absolutely no problem, but don't ask guests to leave three times. That was completely wrong!!! Not worth repeating for me. It's a shame actually.

The staff is incredibly nice and creates a pleasant atmosphere. The food was delivered quickly, which I really appreciate. And the quality of the food is truly outstanding – everything is fresh and delicious. I can only recommend Shimai and will definitely come back!

The food can generally be described as “okay” – attractively presented but incredibly overpriced for what you get. The "we only buy fresh ingredients" slogan doesn't impress me, the prices for quality food are not a state secret, and I expect a different level of execution in this price range. One exception was the tamarind chicken breast, which was incredibly dry, tough and completely overcooked. The cocktails were also mediocre: the Mojito was way too sweet, and the Munich Mule was tasteless. While the decor looks nice, it feels disjointed, the music doesn't make sense, and the service isn't particularly attentive or welcoming. Not once was I asked how our meal was. However, what really bothers me about this place is customer-unfriendly policies, such as: B. the requirement for an 8% surcharge if you want to pay separately, as well as the low level of communication, be it in English or German, which made paying unnecessarily tedious. I would like such places to recognize that separate payment is an integral part of German dining culture and not try to undermine this practice with hidden fees and money-making - especially given the already high prices charged here. I won't come back.

Delicious food, gradt service and great atmosphere!

Excellent cuisine! Prices a bit high, but deserved. From starter to main course to dessert, consistently high quality! As promised, we'll be back!

Good price/quality/quantity. We were 2 people and paid a good price. However I was not able to order what I usually order because they forgot to offer me an “extra menu” they have, and in which plates are different and good! Also, my friend order something “roll yourself” kind of thing and it is just messy and the waiter was a bit annoyed because she didn’t use some available ingredients, was weird to get such a angry feedback.

Really great food with well laid ambience! The menu is also somewhat unique, which makes it a great alternative to traditional Vietnamese restaurants!

Attractive atmosphere and excellent food...I couldn't get past several very tasty starters...that says it all. Plus a very friendly service. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!

Delicious meal and great service! Thank you :)

6 out of 5 stars. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great too. The employees are very friendly.

I will write this more often in my reviews, but: Best store!!!1!!1 The ambience is awesome! You definitely have to try the dumplings. It is freshly cooked and served quickly. The staff was friendly and very attentive. You can also enjoy cocktails there. The selection is great and there are a lot of delicious own creations. The restaurant also has a good outdoor area. The store is a little more expensive, but it's also extremely worth it. Can only be recommended!

We were there at lunchtime and chose our dishes from the lunch menu. It was very tasty, the service was quick and friendly. The lunch specials are also unbeatable in terms of price! :)

Very nice traditional Vietnamese restaurant

Wow! No more words. Super recommended, especially the wok dishes

Friendly lunch in a Vietnamese restaurant.

Schöne Innenräume, gemütliche Tische auf der Terrasse, freundlicher Service, SEHR LECKERES ESSEN

Great atmosphere. Service is very friendly and helpful. Food was a 10/10. The duck would definitely be recommended. Whether in fried rice or red curry, simply great! I can only recommend it!

The food is really very tasty, just a must for anyone who likes to eat Vietnamese (great conditions, always friendly)

foood was ok, a bit salty؛ could be much better. the waiter was somehow expecting a tip asking how much we want to pay; which I thought was weird. I gladly add tip, when the service deserves it; this time it was not the case since they were not particularly friendly or welcoming.

Normal somewhat overpriced food. Not recommend at all

Always excellent food and service. We love coming back again and again.

The restaurant is very nicely decorated, a mix of tradition and modernity. The service is fast, courteous, friendly and speaks several languages! The food is absolutely fantastic!!! I eat Vietnamese/Asian food very often, but I absolutely love this meal! The eye eats too! :) An absolute recommendation here!

You are greeted in a friendly manner and the order goes great and quickly. The food was very tasty and is definitely worth recommending. One star for the service deduction because special requests can be made when making the reservation regarding events. I asked for a rose for my mother's birthday. Unfortunately this wasn't implemented, which isn't a problem in itself, but I would at least have liked to receive feedback. Nevertheless, it is a very good restaurant with delicious food.

we visited this place because it is an asian restaurant that has the best ratings and most reviews nearby our hotel. AND I COULDNT AGREE MORE! oh my god i wish i can eat here 3 time a day, everyday! i tried 2 menus: the basic/original pho beef, and the noodle dish with lime dressing. the basic pho beef soup: the soup has a very deep and thick and rich flavour. the beef was thick, but suprisingly EXTREMELY TENDER! the price was a very good deal with such flavours! the best soup and best beef i ever had among all vietnamese restaurants i had. i compared this review with another vietnamese restaurant near the Viktualienmarkt and around 10ish vietnamese restaurants i had in the UK. the service are excellent. they were very welcoming. as a tourist with new experience to be surrounded by bees while eating, i felt a bit worried with the bees near my bottles, but the waitress was very calm and helping to send away the bees.

The two of us had the mixed tapas and dumplings. It was excellent - highly recommended!!

Very very tasty dishes. Reservations were easily possible for 2 hours via the homepage (for lunch). Nice shady terrace to relax on. Will definitely come back when we are in Munich again.

Delicious food, the friendliest staff and a relaxed atmosphere. What more could you want?

Top location, food and good service - always happy👌

Please be warned and very careful about this restaurant and when paying ask for your full bill. They are adding behind your back already a significant tip amount that they did not get your approval if you want to give a tip before. They have tried to do this to me twice now, (particular male waiter with glasses) The first time, I have decided not to post a review but second time means it's regular practice so I decided to post about it. If you don't watch out, you will end up paying a tip twice (if you want to pay a tip on your bill) This should be considered illegal/fraudulent practice and bad service so they get a one star for service Despite that also for being disorganized in terms of laying cutlery and bringing dishes (starters and main course). Their selection of deserts is limited and tastes like something I have bought before in a local supermarket freezer (the Mochi ice in particular) I would not recommend desserts here. Overall the food courses and atmosphere are nice. But I don't think I will be going back here since I see a lack of dignity (in service) which could be manifesting in other ways in the kitchen/behind the scenes. Quite unfortunate!

Sensational Asian before Corona, but after that the menu somehow changed and really great starters, for example tempura prawns in a mango chili sauce, were simply taken off the menu. Kitchen is still decent, but not anymore. Unique as before. The service is a bit overwhelmed and chaotic at peak times, but at least it's friendly. Unfortunately it's no longer my personal favorite. It's a shame, I celebrated the shop because of the appetizers.

The Shimai can really be recommended. Whether in the evening or for lunch. Very good quality food. We love the Tofu Lemon Grass Chilli and the Bun Bowl Tofu.

Die Bewertung betrifft das Ambiente draußen. Drinnen ist es sehr schön. Sehr leckeres Essen

Wenn wir nach München fahren, ist ein Abendessen im Shimai immer im Programm, sehr variable Karte für jeden Geschmack und gut gekocht. Sehr zu empfehlen

Super delicious food, at lunchtime at an unusually low price in Munich. Goes pretty quickly, perfect for a business lunch. Competent and friendly service. Uncomplicated card payment possible.

Aussergewöhnliche vietnamesische Speisen sehr gut abgestimmt und toll angerichtet. Wirklich abhebend von normalen Standard Asia Brei.

I would recommend reserving a table in advance. Very popular restaurant. The service is very friendly and accommodating. A warm summer evening on their outdoor terrace, a good wine, a cool lemonade and excellent food. The quality of the food is great. Full marks for a lovely evening with a really good meal

It’s amazing❤️ the duck with friend rice and curry is delicious and the service, vibes are also great! Would definitely come back!

Very nice staff. Beautiful and cozy decor, especially indoors. Large selection of food and drinks (my personal recommendations are dishes with beef or duck)

Mediocre food for overpriced price. It looks very cool inside, but we sat outside due to the weather. The menu is fancy and the food is absolutely average. Right next door there are several restaurants with a similar menu but at a much fairer price. I won't go there anymore.

Sehr nettes Personal. Wunderschöne und gemütliche Einrichtung, vor allem im Innenbereich. Große Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken (ich persönlich empfehle Gerichte mit Rind- oder Entenfleisch). Ich komme gerne wieder

Extremely delicious dishes. Fast and kind service. Beautiful interior and a relaxing vibe. Highly recommend.

Food and service are consistently exceptional. It is lovely to dine outdoors and Shimai has the ability to cover the patio in the event of rain. A beautiful experience

Un vrai régal!les plats sont délicieux, assaisonnés parfaitement!il y a du choix! si nous étions restés plus de temps à Munich nous serions volontiers revenus!l'ambiance est très sympathique, le service est souriant et en plus rapide (avec une petite de 4 ans, cela a été fortement apprécié)!

Wir waren 4 Personen, bei allen waren die Vorspeisen und Gerichte schön angerichtet. Das Essen ist authentisch, vielfältig gewürzt, mit vielen Kräutern, es schmeckt sehr gut. Kein Durchschnitts-europäisierter-Asiate.

Lovely dinner with amazing food and lemonades! Super sweet staff

Das Essen schmeckte sehr gut, das Ambiente ist sehr schön und der Service war auch super. Ich kann dieses Restaurant sehr empfehlen!

unkompliziertes umbuchen auch kurz vor dem ursprünglichen termin. nettes und unaufdringliches team. sehr gutes essen und schöne terrasse.

Delicious food, quick and easy service, cool spot for a business lunch

Great place for a small meal and rest!! Atmosphere extra!

An absolute recommendation! All dishes are freshly prepared and taste delicious. The portions are very large. I would come back at any time.

It was quick and easy to reserve a table online. The service was very friendly and the food was simply great. There were three of us, we ordered different things for cocktails, starters and main courses, and we were all really happy! It's my 4th time here and I'll definitely come back again. I can highly recommend it.

Kurzfristig konnten wir noch für 5 Personen reservieren. Alles hat uns überzeugt: Sehr lecker, freundlicher und schneller Service! Wir kommen bald wieder.

My favorite in Munich! Highly recommended to all Asian cuisine lovers.

Horrific practice of sneaking in costs additional to their overpriced menu. 3 euro per person!! Illegal practice actually, so if you are a good lawyer you can take some good money here...

Super nice restaurant and great atmosphere, the staff was super friendly and accommodating. And the food was excellent, also suitable for vegetarians. The prices are reasonable for the location and the quality of the food

Good food, interesting menu. Cozy outdoor area

Immer wieder toll dort zu essen. Wir waren draußen, geschützt von der Mittagssonne. Später wurde der Stoffdach entfernt und wir konnten auch den Himmel genießen. Essen ist immer lecker. Bei der Limonade scheint sich was geändert zu haben, mochte die vorherige Komponente besser aber es ist eine Kleinigkeit. Und das Personal ist wirklich sehr freundlich, freut sich auch ein wieder zu sehen. War sehr schön dort!

Fabulous food and service in a beautiful environment.

Very tasty and absolutely fair in price. We really enjoy coming here!

Looking for Asian food. I found this restaurant because of the good reviews. I ordered the lunch dish “GreenHornit” as well as the homemade ginger/lemon lemonade. Based on my stars, I can only say that I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Everything was great. If I'm Munich, then my number one Asian is. Price performance TOP TOP Thank you for this great experience.

Nice place for good Asian food with a reasonable price. Service is always quick and friendly.

Good food with accessible location. Always one of few restaurant once searching asian menu.

Excellent food, I really enjoyed it

Good location (Maxvorstadt) and good food / service. Was good to be seated outside with good weather

Excelente comida. Muy buen servicio y rápido. Ambiente muy agradable

Wie immer eine sehr gute Erfahrung und eine angenehme Stimmung, auch wenn der Außenbereich nicht die beste Terrasse der Stadt ist (an Gebäude angelehnt und überdacht mit weißem Plastik Element) Trotzdem wird es durch exzellentes Essen gute Stimmung und tolles Personal mehr als ausgeglichen!  Jederzeit, gerne wieder! :-)

I’ve been to Shinmai a couple of times and it’s been delicious every time. One of my favorite places in the Raleigh area.

Insbesondere der Service war überragend. Das Essen und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis waren sehr gut. Wir kommen sicher bald wieder!

Eines meiner Lieblingslokale, da das Gesamtpaket stimmt - Wünsche werden berücksichtigt und das Essen ist phänomenal 🥰

The food was very tasty, the staff was nice and the price was ok

Alles hervorragend. Top Service, schnelles und extrem leckeres Essen!

We went there a few weeks ago on the recommendation of a regular customer and were quite disappointed. Apart from the fact that the food had no taste and only tasted like fat, the service was terrible. The waiter was rude and unfriendly, that's not how you treat customers. Never again...

Essen lecker, Service zügig - alles in Allem top.

The food is absolutely delicious! The place is very stylish and the food is very fresh and tasty. This is definitely one of my favourite lunch spots.

I tried the soup which is a bit similar to ramen and is good and plentiful. Interesting that they bring aside fresh bean sprouts and spicy sauce to add if one wants. Someone has tried to dine with a starter but it's not much. Good, quick and correct price

We stayed at Shimai with a large group a long time ago and were very spoiled! The food is simply excellent, the price-performance ratio is right, we were very spoiled! Even though there were so many of us, we were all able to eat together and at the same time! Thank you for this lovely evening, dear Shimai team!

Delicious food. We had one starter, main dish and drink (with alcohol) per person and shared a dessert. Spent 50-60 per person. Only one starter would have been better because we almost couldn’t finish the main dishes. It’s worth the price for the quality of the food and the excellent service of the people.

A very cozy Asian guy. The dishes were of very high quality. Especially the fried egg rice with various fish/shrimp was very good!

Great Asian food and excellent service. Good wine selection. Highly recommend!

We came right after the lunch break, so we got a seat even without a reservation. However, it fills up quickly, so a reservation would be good. The food was very tasty, as were the drinks.

Angenehmes kleines Lokal mit hervorragendem Essen. Immer wieder gerne!

Very nice restaurant. Food super tasty. Staff quick, friendly and accommodating. Be sure to reserve in advance on weekends because it is very busy.

++ excellent food (very, very tasty peanut sauce with the summer rolls) + very friendly and non-intrusive service + very quick food preparation & pleasant intervals between courses + Very nice and modern designed room in the back area

Cocktails and food excellent! Both visually and taste-wise! We ordered 3 starters or tapas, a main course and a dessert. It was all very delicious, absolutely not bland or boring - as is often the case. The waitresses are very friendly and quick. A really very good service. Price-performance absolutely fair. I can only recommend this restaurant.
