01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the heart of Freising, By Vu is a true gem for aficionados of Pan-Asian and authentic Japanese cuisine. This elegant yet welcoming restaurant expertly bridges the delicate artistry of sushi with the bold, aromatic flavors of Vietnamese dishes, creating a diverse yet harmonious dining experience.

Stepping into By Vu, guests are immediately drawn to its charming atmosphere—whether seated comfortably indoors or enjoying the serene terrace on a warm evening. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between relaxed sophistication and vibrant energy, ideal for intimate dinners or casual get-togethers.

The culinary craftsmanship shines brilliantly through their sushi selections. According to regulars like Arnaud Genest, the sushi arrives “perfectly tempered, beautifully presented, and seasoned just right,” evoking the precision and care that true sushi lovers crave. For those new to sushi, as Ecem Emur expressed, By Vu’s offerings have the power to convert skeptics into passionate fans, thanks to the freshness and balance of each bite.

Beyond sushi, the menu surprises and delights with warming Vietnamese and Pan-Asian specialties. Thomas Dafinger highlights a Thai-inspired papaya salad with tofu, a dish that lingers in one’s memory long after the meal ends, as well as vibrant fried vegetables infused with lemongrass—a harmonious blend of zest and subtle intensity. These dishes speak to By Vu’s dedication to authentic flavors prepared with contemporary finesse.

Guests also appreciate the attentive, professional service delivered in English, ensuring a seamless dining experience for local and international visitors alike. The terrace seating option enhances summer visits, inviting diners to savor their meals in a relaxed outdoor setting while soaking in the charming Freising atmosphere, as noted by Jesus Carrero.

Regular patrons like Jacob return for the consistently high quality, though they note that menu imagery could better reflect the full range of available offerings—a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar culinary journey.

For those seeking an authentic taste of Asia in Bavaria, where every element—from ingredient selection to presentation—reflects passion and expertise, By Vu stands out as a must-visit destination. Whether you are a seasoned sushi enthusiast or a curious newcomer, By Vu will leave you with a deep appreciation of the artistry and flavor that define exceptional Pan-Asian dining.

We showed up without reservation on a thursday evening and ate on the terasse. Service was given in english and professional. Picked sushis for a meal with gyoza as appetizers. Nothing short of perfection : Sushis were to perfect temperature, well presented and with right amount of sauce. We re big sushi fan and this place was amazing. Strongly suggest ! 50 euro min for foreign Mastercards/visa was well displayed.

This restaurant was on my list since months and just recently I visited it. I was surprised how good the food was. Especially the starter, which was kind a thai papaya salad with tofu and this will be the reason to return. It was just so delicious! The main course was fried vegetables in a sauce with lemon grass. This was good as well. But as mentioned I will return for the starter! Unfortunately the service was very slow and bored only.

The food was really good. As a vegan, I had several options that were tasty and filling (the Pad Thai with Tofu is vegan here!). The only downside was that some from our table got their food around 10 minutes before the others, some of whom were kids, and that made us more impatient. Everyone was really satisfied once the food came, though.
