Viet Xua
Mainz, Germany
The read// why locals go
Viet Xua serves Vietnamese food without modern interpretation — family recipes carried across generations, cooked the way they were meant to be. The name means "old Vietnam", and the kitchen means it. Alongside the pho and rice dishes most people arrive for, the card reaches into nhậu: the shared, snack-led eating that Vietnamese families do over a long table, and that rarely makes it onto a German menu at all. Portions are built for that kind of meal rather than for a solo plate. The dining room on Martinsstraße sits in the old town, close to the centre but working to local rhythms, with reservations for the room and delivery for the nights you cannot make it in. Regional cooking from across Vietnam, without the edges sanded off.
