Vita Life Soup & Sushi in Dresden

After several trips to Vietnam, I tried to rediscover the authentic taste of Vietnamese broths in Dresden – unfortunately, to no avail. Until a friend recommended Vita Life to me. From the outside, this bistro may seem rather unassuming, but the smell upon entering is not. The noodle soups here are indescribably aromatic, and if you were sitting on the small plastic chairs, you'd almost forget you were in Germany. After several visits, I can confidently say: This is where you'll find the most authentic broths in the city!

The staff were friendly and the food was delicious.

Delicious, clean, friendly, affordable 👍

This dish, Bún bò giò heo, is simply fantastic; I've eaten it here many times. Today I even got to try the new coconut matcha drink first, and I was very pleased with that, too. A place you absolutely must visit! ✨

Very tasty food and friendly staff. Many Asians ate there, which speaks for typical Asian cuisine.

So we came here based on a recommendation that was a while ago, but we were still hungry and happy to eat there. The menu was still dirty from the day before. I personally thought the summer rolls were the best, but the green tea iced tea wasn't good. The broth in the soups had almost no flavor. If there hadn't been any mint in the soup, it would have been bland. The noodles also had little to no flavor. 😔 Unfortunately, we don't recommend it.

The atmosphere is nice, but the food is disappointing. The Asian soup wasn't tasty at all and looked completely different from the picture. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

I've been enjoying eating here every time I visit Dresden for a long time. The food is delicious and healthy. Unfortunately, the ambiance is slowly deteriorating. The restroom is very dirty and has become a storage room for dirty things. The glass surface overlooking the restaurant is very dirty. It makes the overall impression a bit unhygienic. It's a shame. 12.09.25: The restaurant has been renovated. It looks very appealing.

This place has a great potential. I tried their bowl and tastes good. But is not as “delicious” as the one in kaufpark. I was a bit dissatisfied here because the amount sold rice is so big. I am used to have a balanced amount of the other components. So yes… it is good, workers are very nice but I would not eat a bowl again here. Maybe next time I try something else.

We visit Vita Life almost weekly because we enjoy the wonderfully fresh food and drinks and love the friendly and courteous service. Prager Straße has unfortunately become a socially disadvantaged area, which is why we usually avoid it completely and only go into town to visit the restaurant. Perhaps Vita Life will open a second restaurant in Dresden-Löbtau. We would definitely be among the first customers. Finally, I would like to emphasize that the prices have been stable for years and the value for money is excellent.

If I can recommend anything, it's the Vita Life peanut curry with shrimp for €14.50. It tastes incredibly delicious. I'm practically a regular here and order it again and again. 😅

Very tasty food! Order at the front desk. The service speed could be a little faster. But the wait is worth it!

Dear Vita live staff, This restaurant is quite small but very cozy. The staff treated me kindly. The food was fantastic; I literally licked my plate clean. The restaurant is also very environmentally friendly, which I really like. I would definitely recommend it!!! Best, Sui Sui

Good value for money, food is fresh. We'd be happy to go again.

A good snack bar/bistro with a good selection. The food is freshly cooked, and you can watch it being prepared. Everything seems very authentic and tastes great. The only drawback is the atmosphere; it's too loud and too much like a train station concourse to really enjoy it. Good for a quick lunch, but not really suitable for a longer stay.

Bewertung: 1 von 5 Sternen Ich war wirklich enttäuscht von dem Essen in diesem Restaurant. Die Sommerrollen waren einfach schlecht – kein einziges vietnamesisches Kräutchen, nur Eisbergsalat, der sogar noch leicht bitter geschmeckt hat. Das hat absolut nichts mit echter vietnamesischer Küche zu tun. Das Gericht “Bun Bo Gio Heo” war eine Katastrophe. Außer ein paar dünn geschnittenen Schweinefleischstücken hatte es nichts mit der Beschreibung zu tun. Die Brühe war geschmacklos, einfach heißes Wasser ohne Aroma. And also because of the common cold: The dress for the Soße was worn (abstracted) – and the service was quick. Hygiene was also good for the roll. Erlich rating: 1 Stern is now the place for the Erfahrung. I decided to confirm the lack of herbs and could not make the customers feel uncomfortable. Rating: 1/5 stars Really disappointed with the meal at the restaurant. The spring rolls were almost unacceptable – no herbs, only eisbergsalat (cabbage salad), which was a bit bitter. Not really Vietnamese food. The beef noodle soup with pig's feet was worse than bad. The meat was just a few thinly sliced ​​pork pieces, not pig's feet as the name of the dish. The broth was bland, had no distinctive flavor, was almost just diluted hot water. Worse still, the dipping sauce bowl was chipped, but the restaurant still served it - very unhygienic and disrespectful to customers. 1 star is really too much for this experience. Will not return and do not recommend anyone to come.

The soups are amazing! I really enjoyed them. It's worth coming here.👌🏻

The food here is very good, the staff is very enthusiastic ❤❤❤

I don't know if this restaurant has learned how to cook beef noodle soup, but it's not called beef noodle soup at all. The first time they put the word "pork leg" in it, but they brought out all the meat and told them to stuff it in the leg and call it "pork leg". The dish is worse than a bottle of chili sauce. I spent 12d to have a terrible experience. The staff made a mistake but didn't know what "sorry" was. My parents gave me money to study abroad, that's it. Their attitude is like that, so everyone should avoid them.

The food tasted okay. We ordered a sushi bowl with salmon and a vegetarian bowl with tofu. An hour later, we had stomach cramps and stomach pains. We think the quality of the food was simply not up to scratch. We suspect that the quality is being compromised. We wouldn't go back.

The price is very reasonable and it's delicious! I ordered beef and chicken rice noodles, but I forgot to ask them to leave out the coriander, so I asked them late, but they said it was already ready, so I said I understood and waited. But they took the coriander for their own meal and brought me a new one without it ㅠㅠ I'm so grateful, so I wrote my first review since I came back from a trip!

Delicious food but a little expensive. Worth paying to enjoy meals here once in an while.

Bowls and Pho (soup) at their finest!! The atmosphere is very good, it's a snack bar on the shopping street. Excellent service! Highly recommended!!

It was very tasty, so many herbs in one dish and it's unexpectedly tasty, and the avocado smoothie is addictive in my opinion, be careful...

I was attracted by the relatively busy atmosphere and the dishes that looked good. There were still plenty of tables inside and outside. I opted for the lunch special 1A for €9, and it was a fantastic portion! Three-quarters of the customers were Asian-looking 👍

Terrible! I got the wrong food and didn't want to complain. They came back five minutes later and changed my food without apologizing. Rude!

Modern design. Great food at fair prices. Friendly staff and excellent service.

Staff Attitude is Too Bad. Bringing food to customers and then putting it down as if to humiliate customers 🙂

Delicious food, rich menu. Enthusiastic staff, attentive customer care. Spacious restaurant. 10 points

Very tasty and authentic, well seasoned with lots of fresh herbs. Vegan and gluten free options.

Super Rich, Healthy and Economical..Great..🤓✌

Delicious Asia on Prague Street! The food is just really delicious. It's quick, you sit well and the employees are nice too. If you want to take a little culinary trip to Asia - this is the right place for you. Prices are okay too.

Is very well located on Prager Str. Near the main station. Price performance and taste fits.

The food was bad and the service was not good. I know that the Western market is still crowded without Vietnamese people, but I will never come back again.

The staff's attitude is so bad, they only serve Western guests politely, but for Vietnamese guests it's too bad. I've been here a few times and this time will probably be my last time.

Cheap and delicious restaurant, friendly staff

Delicious peanut curry at Vita Life in Dresden! Fresh, inexpensive and authentically Vietnamese prepared. Great portion size and friendly service. The atmosphere is cozy and the food comes quickly. I can only recommend it!

Super nice restaurant with really excellent food. We go here very regularly at least once a year and are very satisfied. Special requests are always taken into account. The food is fresh and the owner is very friendly. The prices are more than fair for the good quality, which is why we have been regular customers for several years. We are happy that we have the restaurant near us and can enjoy the delicious dishes. Unfortunately we miss the Vytal boxes, but apparently no one used them, even though the system was really great. Maybe it will work out again with another box provider.

Our food was great. Pho and the bowls are highly recommended.

Wrong dish was served once. The servers were extremely unfriendly! Ambiance was also disturbing.

The food good. The disastrous attention. The person in charge of the premises has bad manners and manners. I didn't understand her when she told me that she had to pick up what was used and she started yelling at us and even threatened us with a broom. An experience to forget

Eating according to the new menu is still recommended. Service has become SB. There is room for improvement when it comes to cleanliness.

Fruit curry is highly recommended.

I ordered a Pho Bo here and it really tasted excellent. The broth was flavorful, the meat was tender and the ingredients were fresh. In addition, the prices are very fair. Clear recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy good, cheap food!

I was there twice and unfortunately twice the staff was rude. The first time I asked if I could go to the bathroom before ordering, but the waitress insisted that I order first. Today I ordered lemonade for lunch and instead I got tap water with lots of sugar syrup. Nevertheless, I didn't complain, but politely asked if I could have a glass of tap water instead of the lemonade. The waitress refused to give me the glass of water and kept talking about how the lemonade "should be like that" because the restaurant has "its way." Of course I won't be coming back and can't recommend the store at all.

The cheapest and tastiest PHO in the area :)

When I go shopping in the city and eat an Asian bowl variety, the bowls are delicious. I've already tried two different versions here. Number 5 with salmon is very tasty. It is not always the same and varies.

Very tasty, large portions. I recommend it to everyone! Only the tables need to be wiped down more often, it was a little dirty.

Delicious food, quick service early in the morning. Happy staff. Location in the supermarket near the pier but very clean. Contribute to a memorable trip to Dresden 🥰

Very friendly staff and great food!

Very, very tasty and everyone is super friendly!

The waiting times at lunchtime are now underground. For a long time I've always been here with colleagues on Wednesday lunchtime, but this is the third time in a row that I've waited more than 30 minutes for food. And that with the offer. The Esseb is generally great, but unfortunately it's a no go due to the waiting time. Too bad...

Very unpleasant smell. Went again

Best beef noodle soup dresden love it

My family went to eat with 4 people, but everyone felt it wasn't delicious, chicken pho was the best, beef noodle soup but no sausage, just thinly sliced ​​pork, the restaurant didn't have a bill, but handwritten cash receipts, pho meat. The beef is crumbly, the dumplings and frozen dumplings are bad, I give this restaurant in Vietnam 1 star.

Very good food. Staff is nice. Its kinda expensive, but its not like youre gonna find cheap sushi anywhere around. They also have tasty drinks, mainly tea and smoothies, I recommend you get the avocado smoothie if youre into that (except if you are lactose intolerant). Didnt try the soup but its promising so go try that too. Overall 10/10 would eat at again.

Bad service and the food quality was bad.

The curry peanut sauce is simply amazing! You can also eat it cold as a kind of bowl on the second day. Unfortunately, I live in North Rhine-Westphalia, otherwise I would definitely be there at least once every week. I would almost cut off my finger for this recipe.

Pho is delicious, the beef looks like it has been braised and then sliced; it is like a rice paper roll, light and cold.

One of the best establishments in Dresden. Very tasty and high quality food. Incredibly delicious fo-bo, the freshest sushi. I am a fan of this place, tried almost all the dishes and never once got something tasteless. I recommend visiting!

Very good pho, P.18 is recommend.

Very tasty food and chic decor!!

Pho, sushi and coconut milk soup were delicious. The mango shakes were also very refreshing.

The food was delicious! The ambience is okay. When there's a lot going on, it's a bit noisy. It's like other restaurants. We'd love to come back if we need to go quickly.

Even though there was only one customer, the order was forgotten. After 20 minutes I asked and then it was prepared. So the waiting time is way too long. Not even an apology or discount

For the price, the taste and service are a bit disappointing.

Really nice food, good opening times and affordable prices.

Nice and very affordable Bun Bo. The drinks are also very affordable.

Ate here for the 4th time now Delicious 😋

Very bad restaurant. I once reserved rice noodles with 2 euros extra but that was less than normal rice noodles.

Report from August 22nd Let it taste https://apps.gesunde.sachsen.de/lebensmittel.php

Hello dear ones here and there, I basically stumbled into this beautiful restaurant today.....Feix.... Everything was super great. The food made me want to. I'm with you again. It felt like I was on vacation for a while. I would like to thank a family member for their help in the garden. Lgr.kathy

We visit Vita Life almost every day for lunch or dinner and find the food very tasty. The glass noodle and mango salad is particularly recommended in the warm season. Of course, it is a place to stop for a break for many tourists who want to eat quickly, well and cheaply. But the high number of Asian guests shows that the food here is authentic and delicious. The bowls are always freshly made and very tasty. We can only recommend this restaurant to everyone. The stylish Vietnamese restaurant IVY XU XU on Wasaplatz (Lockwitzer Straße 1 in DD), which I recently discovered, is also an insider tip.

We have eaten here so many times and we particularly liked the dressing of the bowls and the combination of the dishes. Unfortunately, we recently noticed that the guest room was getting dirtier and stickier. Now we have read the report from the Dresden Food Inspection Office and we have lost our appetite for a very long time. https://apps.gesunde.sachsen.de/lebensmittel.php

The best Asian soups! Simply great! Quick preparation. Order and pay at the counter, served at the table. Despite the great quality, the prices are at the upper limit of pain. 10...12 EUR, once a week. Ambiance doesn't invite you to linger for a long time. It's probably not intentional either, it's suitable for the lunch break. As a rule, the dishes are well seasoned, but pepperoni is still served for additional seasoning. Be careful, the food quickly becomes spicy and tasteless. Absolutely recommended for soup lovers!

Since I read today on DAY 24 that this snack bar had to temporarily close due to massive hygienic deficiencies and cockroach infestation, I remembered that I wanted to write another review. Things used to be better here, but now the quality fluctuates a lot. One day the pho broth is good, a few days later it's so bad that I regret eating here. A big minus point is the noise... the staff shouts every time you visit, the older woman with glasses is particularly loud. The dining room also seems to be a meeting place for the extended family - recently 3 tables were occupied by family members and friends and everyone was shouting at each other. I even had to cover my ears because it hurt. If you want to eat in peace after a day at work, that's not possible and I'm starting to find the noise that the employees make every time disrespectful to guests. A guest room is not a living room. Maybe it's better to clean instead of yelling. I've already left several times because it was too loud for me and I prefer to eat where I can do so in peace. The friendliness has also decreased a lot. Just google Tag24 and Vita Life and then you will find the report about the hygiene issues. I don't know if I would even want to eat here again.

Food was fresh and tasty. The staff were friendly, but were extremely loud among themselves. No rest possible!! Now the worst! The store was totally filthy!! It stuck everywhere, the smell in the place smelled like old fish and there were stains everywhere that had definitely been there for a long time. Disgusting!!!!!!!!! You'll never see me there again!!

Every time I was here I got a stomach ache. The employees are always unfriendly, I don't understand why, from today on I will never eat there again, the food doesn't taste authentic and strange The table was terrible and my bowl was broken – this is really dangerous, just not recommended to people

We had pho, beef and pork knuckles noodle soup and peanut sauce mixed veggies with rice. Tasted so so good. Vietnam ice coffee is of my favorite also.

We had 3 different dishes and different soups. Unfortunately, no one was really impressed with the taste. Fresh vegetables and well prepared but none of them really tasted good. Too bad

It tastes good, but the quantity is a little less

The restaurant can change the name of the dish to Bun Bo or Bun Bo Hue but the name of the dish is Bun Bo with pork trotters but I can't find any pork trotters 😂 But because it's a Vietnamese restaurant, I still give it 5 stars 😂

I ate an excellent dish of oriental cuisine, Vietnam!

We eat there every week. Delicious!

Very tasty vegan dishes and friendly service!

I would highly recommend this place! It's not the most fancy place to have a date, but it has a lovely interior and the food is really good. The ingredients are fresh and the food is prepared really well. The service is excellent and they really listen to what you want to try. My salmon bowl was the perfect lunch on a hot day. It was really tasty and felt like I was eating healthy! It's a win-win!

Great sushi and very friendly service

The food is an absolute hit! It couldn't be fresher and the taste is amazing!!!

I ordered sushi, Maki and Ha Cao (V4) were both extremely tasty. Great quality of avocados in the maki, you can also taste the shrimp perfectly. And I've never eaten Ha Cao so well before. 10/10 The service is also very polite and attentive.

The sushi we ordered was very fresh and tasty. The V4 (Ha Cao) as a starter was also very tasty and also tasted very fresh. Gladly again and highly recommended 👌

It smells like I'm in a morgue but the pho was okay.

Absolute recommendation! Fresh, hot and delicious! Vegetables cooked well and just right. Wonderfully flavored with coriander. Open kitchen! Perfect!

Food was very good, staff was friendly. 01.2024 No matter when you are there, nothing has changed. Keep it up.

We had lunch menus 5A and 5B, we really enjoyed them, delicious and portion was also good with a lot of vegetables and chicken. 5A was like with ananas and lychee, curry souce. I really recommend it here and especially 5A.

If I could I would even give no star!! A mother with a screaming child is refused entry! We politely asked if we could briefly breastfeed our baby inside (because the weather was so nice outside). At first it was said yes and then (5 minutes) we were kicked out! You have to imagine, everything was free inside! We didn't take anyone's place! These people don't know help in need! In the restaurant next door they were much friendlier and more understanding and gave us a seat!

Apart from the fact that it always smells like a dead animal, these employees are so unfriendly!!! Never seen such unpleasant people!! I would never eat there even if they paid me to. P.S. You don't need to communicate with the people there because they don't speak German anyway.

I've been there many times, the food is very tasty, the staff are always friendly and you get your food very quickly.

I find the noodle tasty and it has a decent price too.

Great pho Bo and spring roll with chicken, very fresh, fast service

Horrible experience. The smell of the place is already bad enough to ruin the appetite, but I also got rotten avocado in my chicken bowl. The staff was unqualified to a level where they have brought one piece of silverware for 2 people and I had to ask for a second piece. I would not come here ever again
