Mama Thanh
Karlsruhe, Germany
The read// why locals go
Mama Thanh cooks southern Vietnamese food on Uhlandstraße in the Weststadt, from the recipes she brought with her from Vietnam. The restaurant is the ambition she carried for years before finally opening it as a family business, and it is run that way: her own family in the kitchen and the dining room, dishes plated as though cooked at home rather than assembled to a formula, and a room whose whole pitch is that you should feel like part of the household. Alongside the Vietnamese card the kitchen puts out its own sushi, cut fresh. Tables can be booked, and pickup is available for the evenings that call for it.
Opening hours
Mo-Fr 11:30-14:30,16:30-23:00; PH,Sa,Su 13:00-23:00
