About
The best BÚN BÒ NAM BỘ in Prague. But our favourite dish is the peanut sauce, which is mostly served with grilled chicken skewers. We offer specialty drinks and international wines.

The welcome on arrival was warm and friendly and the restaurant is nicely decorated with a pleasant ambience.
The menu has a varied choice of Vietnamese dishes but on this occasion we both opted for the chicken skewers with peanut sauce which was absolutely. delicious.
Hana and his team work hard to make sure that their customers have an enjoyable dining experience.
We would certainly recommend Madame Lyn’s to potential diners.

Wonderful restaurant serving the most delicious fresh Vietnamese food, prepared and cooked by Madame Lyn. Mr Lyn, her husband is front of house and is the lovliest man. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent mojitos and delicious wine too were enjoyed by our party. We highly recommend Madame Lyn's Restaurant.

food was very enjoyable and good portion sizes, one of us was a vegan and they were able to cater for my needs and adapt meals, so very well attentive. however, service was a little slow at times and atmosphere could have been improved. overall, both of us did really enjoy and we would go again

We came without a reservation and fortunately they had space. Our table had nice lighting though I did notice other areas of the restaurant were rather dark. Service was good. The food had some positives particularly my Sum Tom Yum soup which was perfect with lots of heat and flavour. My main course of red curry with king prawns however was a disappointment. Firstly there was very little spice (despite two chilli symbol) and the prawns (in their shell) were very hard to get to as the they wouldn't slide out of the shell. It seemed they'd been overcooked. The sticky rice they came with was congealed so not enjoyable. Other members of my party were also a little underwhelmed with their food. Prices seemed reasonable, but we came away feeling the food could have been better.

Told them about my nut allergy and had an allergen menu which said the item didn’t contain nuts. For them to bring the food with a pile of crushed peanuts on the side. Spoke to the manager who was sat next to us the whole time for no apology for the fact if I ate the food I would have died. Staff have no brain cells between them all. Even tired to charge me for the food I then couldn’t eat.

Me & my Husband visited here on our first night after I saw the reviews on Trip Advisor. I called in the afternoon to make a reservation and we got in. We were greeted on arrival by a very friendly lady and sat at our table by the window. We ordered 2 starters Satay Chicken and Spring Rolls, then a Chicken Pad Thai and Stir Beef with asparagus, spring onions in an oyster sauce with a side portion of noodles. All dishes were gorgeous, very flavoursome and well presented. We cleaned our plates. We could not believe the final bill, you pay more for a Nando's. Would highly recommend and if we were to return to Prague this would be our first stop.

We were greeted by a lovely waitress, and given a choice of tables, we chose to go to the back of the restaurant, where is was quiet.
We chose a Riesling wine which was really nice.
For starters we chose the spring rolls and sweet and sour dip and for hubby, he had the chicken satay, both were equally as good, for mains we had a beef red curry and a tiger prawn red curry, with one sticky rice and grilled veg… it was outstanding, the flavours were beautiful,…..
As a birthday treat for my husband, I am so glad we chose this restaurant, it was simply the best food and the girls waiting on us were lovely and a credit to the business.
do not pass this restaurant by it is fantastic

Visiting Prague for a few days and found this place near our hotel. No reservation but they made room for us and glad they did. We both had starters, mains and drinks. Great price for the food and drinks and the meal was delicious!!! Service was lovely and very attentive too. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the next night and enjoyed another night of deliciousness.
Dishes we had over the two nights were Summer Rolls, Chicken Skewers, Nett Rolls and Udon Noodles with Duck and Duck Red Curry.
The ambience and decor was great and we loved the music being played.
Definitely recommend this place!

This place looks lovely but was was let down by the poor attitude by the grumpy waiting staff who really couldn’t care less. The food was no better than average much worse than the many many family style Vietnamese restaurants all around . It’s all about style not about substance . Save your cash go elsewhere …..Hanoi …Pho family for example

We weren't expecting a high-class Asian place in the central city, but we were glad that we did. My husband enjoyed their well-made pork soup while I had fried tofu with miso sauce. It's not taken for granted to find high-quality vegetarian dishes in Asian restaurants, and this one was worth the visit. Stuff is friendly and speaks perfect English.

We really liked the “risotto” which was more like fried rice with crispy onion bits. The chicken pad thai and summer rolls were average. The homemade passion fruit lemonade was delicious!

We spent our last night in Prague in this restaurant and we definitely made the right choice. The staff is expediently nice. The food is excellent and presented in a manner to accommodate your personal taste when it comes to spice. The atmosphere is on the border of being fine dining but cozy so that once again you feel comfortable sitting at the beautiful tables. We would definitely come back here.

We ordered summer roles, chicken with peanut sauce as starters, for the main menue soup with dug breast, dug breast with noodles, king prawns with fried rice and as dessert mochi, mango-cocos drink and baked banana on cocos cream (sorry I don‘t have the original names of all the dishes in my mind).
Service was very friendly and courteous.
All the food was excellent and I would strongly recommend this Vietnamese Restaurant, if we come back to Prague we definitely will have dinner again at that place.

As a solo female traveler, I always wonder if requesting a "table for one" at dinner will be met with a frown! I was staying right down the street and went out looking for a good spot for dinner. I happened on Madame Lyn Vietnamese Restaurant. They were very welcoming, and the food was delicious. Prices were moderate. If I returned to Prague and that area of the city, I would definitely go back there again.
