Reservations · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Stylish Vietnamese-leaning fusion spot with standout starters, big portions on many mains, lively cramped room, and service that is friendly but inconsistent; reservations and time limits common.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Jacci delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality and stylish interior design that draw repeat visitors to Rotkreuzplatz. However, very tight seating and occasional consistency dips during busy service prevent it from reaching higher territory. The lively Vietnamese-fusion concept with generous portions and excellent starters competes well with respected local favorites, though the cramped room and service variability limit its appeal as a destination restaurant.

Restaurant Summary

Jacci brings a stylish, lively take on Vietnamese flavors to Rotkreuzplatz, with glowing praise for starters and a room that hums at peak times. One diner noted, "the food was great, but the tables felt almost touching," a common refrain that underscores the cramped seating. Service reads as warm yet stretched when busy, and time-limited reservations add a fast-paced rhythm to evenings. In the kitchen, the cooking leans Vietnamese with fusion accents rather than theatrics. Soft‑shell crab, satay skewers over hibachi flame, and tuna tartare sit alongside lemongrass beef, pho, and red curry duck. Starters impress the most, mains are generous, and flavors are clear and comforting, even if some guests wish for more "wow". Prices are a bit above plain-vanilla Vietnamese, aligned with the design-forward setting and cocktail program. Families will find several kid-comfort options like fried rice, satay skewers, udon, dumplings, and mild curries. There is no kids’ menu noted, and the room can be loud and tight, so strollers and very young children may be tricky at peak times. Lunch deals are friendlier on the wallet, while dinner works best for kids who like noodles, rice, and simple grilled items.
