"First of all, a small disclaimer: The four stars should be understood in the context of the claim. This is of course quite high for a restaurant of this category. I was missing a little something atmospherically. The Aqua presents itself as noble and purposeful, but it lacks a bit of the extraordinary component. The menu, for all its quality, which I'll get to later, misses the chance to tell a story. The service had a few unexpected vulnerabilities. Among other things, there was a lack of consistency in the address (sometimes you, sometimes you) and people failed to introduce themselves. The fluctuation within the service staff was also noticeable; I would have liked to have been accompanied through the evening by the same person. But there were also many nice moments in which our numerous questions were answered competently and friendly. One can summarize here that the atmosphere and service are certainly subjective, but they seemed a bit too stiff and submissive for me. About the menu: The Kalamata olive was a first highlight for me. Simple, with local cheese, but surprising in its intensity of taste. The bread served was also convincing. Well-made sourdough bread enriches every menu. Pulpo and Chorizo were also convincing. With the pork belly, the fantastic, slightly peppery aftertaste of the jus was a particularly great experience. The eagle fish carpaccio was a dish with a high surprise factor. While the outer part was almost a little boring, the flavor intensity increased massively towards the middle. The red onions were awesome. The Breton sole resulted in a very familiar and less innovative taste, which was so technically perfect that it was still my second highlight of the evening. We continued with an onsen egg, which once again showcased the Aqua team's exceptional craftsmanship. With the Étoufféé pigeon, the question of the meaning of the name should perhaps have been avoided. Even though I'm a little frightened by the perfidious methods of dealing with animals that our French neighbors sometimes practice, the pigeon in this form was a completely new culinary event for me. So exactly what I expect from upscale gastronomy. The champagne sorbet just wasn't for me. But the same applies here: great quality and attractive presentation. The first desert, consisting of coconut, carrots and passion fruit sorbet, was creative, beautiful and tasty and qualified as the third highlight. The second: popcorn, corn and strawberries was the complete opposite and by far the weakest dish of the day. I have no idea what they were thinking. The praline finale was a visual highlight, but in terms of taste I didn't have much choice. All in all, the Aqua presented itself at a fantastic level on the ability scale. But I think the restaurant lacks a bit of character. Despite this criticism, I had a really successful evening."

"The order should be delivered after an hour if it wasn't there after more than 1.5 hours, I called and the lady told me that it would arrive soon and I should call again if something is wrong with it. After 2 hours the driver arrived with the almost completely cold food, which drowned high fat and simply cuddly tasted. After a new call and a complaint, the owners were not willing to come with the price and were even really happy!!! Unfortunately, I had already paid from Paypal at Deliveryando. In this store I would never order again and I would like to warn everyone who wants to do this. Not really with pre-transfer!!!"

"delicious, always fresh. for all. excellently seasoned, without having to smell 3 days after garlic. the owner has always good mood and a great memory for customers. they feel comfortable and welcome. the interior and also the exterior are repeatedly embellished/modernized. the service is always super friendly and besides the obligatory ouzo you will still get a small sweet closing to the house . truly one of our absolute favorites. to other Greek natives in wolfsburg and surroundings we no longer go."

"One for German, small towns (laughs! conditions really good Vietnamese, which I would recommend here. For external visitors: It is located in the Bermuda triangle between railway station, Cinemaxx and the Phaeno; also wonderfully walking from the car town. The restaurant Imperium also includes An Nam in Hanover and Sushi Berlin in WOB and Berlin. We visited the restaurant on a Monday evening, a day when restaurants are often quite empty. Not so the An Nam; we got another 4 table to two, and that's also good, because the 2 he tables are quite small. Unfortunately, we could not discover a wardrobe, so the thick coats that were attached in winter had to be accommodated on neighboring seats and benches . The ambience is clear, uncanny, casual, almost minimalist. Nice! However, one sits on the benches without a leeway for quite uncomfortable fast the menus were taken and the first drinks were taken; Wine is only available in white, red, rosé variants; the white wine was ok and adapted to my courts. In terms of food we decided 10 summer rolls with shrimp and chicken (4,50 . My favourite, summer rolls without flaw and tadel 11 summer rolls with beef (6,50 . Ok, but beef not tender enough In both cases, the rice leaves seemed to have been freshly moistened, all the ingredients fresh and crisp, and taste every single ingredient super... always liked again. On both summer rolls there was a rather gentle, European variant of a Nuoc Cham 30 Pho Ga (soup with chicken and herbs. Delicious with fresh herbs spiced 53 Lon Xa ot to 11,00 Grilled pork with lemongras, chili, ginger and vegetables (the meat tenderly and well seasoned; the vegetables crisp; the scented rice served unfortunately already dried on the surface. On the table there are two self-adjusted sausage sauces, which are significantly more powerful than those served to the summer rolls. Vinegar garlic chili fish sauce chili I knew what to start with both and used it to my own gusto to give my two dishes a less European flavor. Conclusion: Again and again, and at my next visit to WOB I will surely visit the Sushibar, which belongs to the same 'family'. Such a quality I would not have expected in WOB."
