My Dad Made in Essen

Super tasty and tastes like you were there. Delicious

Very good service, also great and tasty 👍

Opening hours are at the door. It's just closed anyway!

Really delicious food and friendly staff. There is a deduction for a nasty surprise: The "house wine" (not on the menu) cost € 7.50 / glass in the end. That's a little exaggerated.

Small restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere to feel good. The dishes are delicious, the staff super nice. A round thing and cheap too. We'd love to come back!

Simply great! Friendly service, great ambience, large selection and very tasty fresh food😊 also designed with sustainability in mind (glass straw, reusable chopsticks, fair drinks). The prices of the dishes are absolutely fair and the portions are quite large. We will come back!

Very friendly, food preparation on time, very tasty and inexpensive

Delicious Vietnamese home cooking as we know it from Vietnam. Very nice people!

Great food! It's delicious and really fresh. In my opinion the best Vietnamese in Essen. I can only recommend!

So so good! Make a reservation. Outdoor seating available.

From the starter to the dessert: very delicious! Great ambience, good service and really delicious food. Traditional coffee is also highly recommended. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right. We would love to come back.

Super delicious and freshly prepared food. Service very friendly. Would I recommend to anyone who wants to try Vietnamese cuisine.

Very nice service. A lot of traffic, which is why a reservation must be made in any case. In terms of price, you can get well below 20 € with a drink alone. You have to be prepared to listen to hip business people during the innovation talk. Greetings from Prenzlauer Berg.

Tastes great. Reasonable price

It's really delicious: varied dishes, great service, moderate prices and the Vietnamese coffee is not missing either! We recommend!

Sympathetic conditions; delicious food and ambience is "small but nice". Prices are okay too. Portions are not mini, but if you are very hungry you should order a little more :) We would love to come back if there is a desire for this meal. To recommend!!

Excellent food, fresh, delicious good portion size, fair price. A few minor things: we had to wait a bit for the food. But, as I said, it was very fresh and the shop was also full. Therefore still 5/5.

FOOD & DRINKS If you look closely at the menu, the selection of real classic Vietnamese items is very limited and unfortunately they don't offer any authentic Vietnamese dessert. I ordered Bún chả which in its basic form is grilled pork with rice noodles and herbs. The way they arranged the dish was really nice. Looks modern, clean and pretty. The additions of the veggies is weird for someone with Vietnamese origin. To me it would have been more authentic and true if they just served grill meat (over charcoal), tons of herbs and rice noodles. The stir fried veggies gave it that western touch. In my opinion the chả was a bit dry and did not start any kind of flavor explosions. Everything was okay and good if you just want a decent meal. SERVICE The staff was nice and friendly. Especially the girls. They were quick in reacting to our wishes and just did a good job. ATMOSPHERE I think this is what their regular customers want and why they like this place. A modern and fresh look. Everything looks clean and cozy. RATING To me I would have given this restaurant three stars because the food looks pretty but just taste ordinary. Objectively I had to give them four stars because what they do is solid and the service left no space for any complaints.

Great food but their service is horrible. If you're keen on getting your drinks and food an hour after you ordered have a shot at it.

The decoration on the squares and throughout the restaurant is decent and stylish. The toilets are consistently clean and everything gives a good impression of the place. Here you get both: friendly and brisk service. Here it has never happened to us before that a dish came cold on the table. The selection of drinks also left nothing to be desired, and my husband and I were completely pleasantly surprised. We will definitely come back.

Very friendly service, the dishes were freshly prepared, tasted excellent. You can tell that the cook does his craft with competence and love. A visit is definitely worthwhile. We would love to come back.

Food tastes great! You have to enjoy the delicious food there! Service also very nice!

Delicious fresh cuisine at low prices. Fresh spices are used. We were here on Sunday lunchtime and every table was occupied. Definitely reserve

Normal food, I had pho and some starter, everything was ok..

Very good food, plenty of options and delicious coffee. The service and ambiance are worth mentioning as well.

Food is excellent and friendly staff.

It's okay. Taste was OK. Amount was OK. Service was friendly. Price was OK. Food took a long time, especially as it was a lunch menu. I have had better Vietnamese, even in Essen.

Bests Asian food in Essen.

Always great for us! One of the best Vietnamese we know. Everything tip top fresh and absolutely delicious prepared 👌👌 even if it takes a little longer from time to time it is always a taste experience and fair prices throughout!

Great Vietnamese food! Really great quality, authenticity and atmosphere. Stumbled upon My Dad Made on a business trip. Left very happy :-)

Order in advance! If not you can actually arrive and have no chance to sit down. Takeaway still possible though. The food: excellent, worth every penny. Prices: not cheap and not robbery grade. Expect 10 EUR per main entry, large portions. Verdict: a must
