Wang Church is a 12th-century wooden church that was originally located in Norway and later transported to Karpacz, Poland in the 19th century. The church's architecture resembles Viking longships, adding to its historical and cultural significance. Visitors can also explore the picturesque Karkonosze National Park nearby, known for its rare plant and animal species as well as breathtaking landscapes.
this beautiful charming wooden church offers a glimpse into the past with its unique design and craftsmanship. Tour is available with a small fee. Don’t miss the stunning views of the valley from the small cemetery. Parking fee: 5€ per hour.

It's a very historically important church. It's a wooden church with beautiful exterior architecture. There's a small cemetery surrounding the church. While many churches in Poland are free to enter, this one costs 14 zł, with an additional 5 zł if you have a camera. I didn't go in because there were large groups of people inside.
Worth to see, very nice little wooden church with beautiful well maintained grounds. Ticket is cheap and you can spend there as much time as you want. To there there you can leave your car on paid parking and take a walk. Some little shops and coffee places around.
View is spectacular
A small wooden Viking-style church surrounded by a small old cemetery. The steep trip up will reward you with breathtaking views. What I don’t accept personally is paying an entrance fee to a church!
Karpacz and Wang Church are kinda places you should visit before die! I had visit there by my bike 🚲, saw amazing nature and had an amazing experience.
If you want to see an original Norwegian Stave Church without travelling North, that is the solution.
The history behind is even more interesting.
Definitely worth visiting.
Such a beautiful building in beautiful surroundings. Well worth the trip. A printed sheet of the narrative is available in different languages. Very popular attraction
Beautiful location, with great views and lot of history.

The Wild Waterfall, located in Karpacz, is a picturesque and easily accessible spot that offers enchanting views throughout the year. It is not just an ordinary mountain stream but an unpredictable river originating from a high altitude and flowing through lush green slopes. Visitors can explore the surrounding area to discover more beautiful waterfalls and scenic spots. The waterfall provides a magical experience with its refreshing waters and serene ambiance, making it an ideal stop during a summer hike.
I loved this place so much. It’s such a calming atmosphere and you can do great pictures. It’s also refreshing to go inside the water after an exhausting hike.

A breathtaking spot deep in nature!
The waterfall is wild, powerful, and mesmerizing. Perfect for a short hike, photos, and a peaceful reset. Easy to reach, surrounded by lush greenery and crisp, fresh air. If you want to feel truly connected to nature — this is the place. Highly recommended!
The place is quite nice, but when we were there, the water wasn't flowing at all, so it didn't look much like a waterfall. It probably depends on the weather and the season. On the bright side, because there was less water, our kids really enjoyed climbing on the rocks. Overall, it's a great short stop on your trip.
Nice place to visit. Either a gentle hike from Karpacz, or you can get the 'bus train' from the centre. It's not a whole day affair, but a good place for a scenic detour on the way to the gondolas.
Visited Wild Waterfall at the end of September and absolutely loved it! The place wasn’t crowded at all, which made the experience even better. It was calm, peaceful, and beautifully clean – perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Highly recommended if you're looking for a quiet escape with stunning views!
Great place, amazing walk
Free aces
Amazing place, full of magic. I can honestly 💯 recommend it. Beautiful views, refreshing water and calming surroundings. Can't really ask for more during a scorching summer day after climbing up Śnieżka.
Very pretty but the water level was lower unfortunately. Steep roads and rocks. Be careful. Make sure you are strong enough for the walk

Nestled within the charming Lesny Dwor complex in Karpacz, Mamma Mia is a delightful restaurant that offers a cozy atmosphere and a menu brimming with homestyle Italian dishes. Guests can indulge in an array of options, from mouthwatering burgers and pizzas to delectable pasta plates. The culinary journey begins with enticing antipasti like shrimp, marinated tartare, and homemade focaccia bruschetta.
My friends and I had a wonderful dinner at Mamma Mia. Our waitress, Maja, made our visit extra special—she was incredibly lovely, friendly, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and since it wasn’t too busy, we could fully enjoy our meal and conversation. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices, making it excellent value for money. Whether you're looking for a cosy dinner with friends, a family meal, or a special occasion, Mamma Mia is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

I ordered a Divina vegetarian pizza, which tastes amazing with caramelized onion on top. Reduced two stars for tiramisu which was loaded with chocolate powder and sugar. Tried tiramisu at many places but definitely this tastes bad. Not sure why the hype on reviews
I appreciate the interior and the idea with Leonardo da Vinci quotes and drawings for kids as a table setting, also the non-alcoholic Hugo was tasty. The “burger wolowy” was very dry/well done, fries were OK. Nobody paid attention to me for extremely long while despite empty plate and glass. Also, the waitress didn’t speak English or German, so it is handy to have some basic knowledge of Polish (actually, even the menu is in PL only)
Nice place with extremely polite young people waiting tables. Well organized staff had no trouble to serve drinks and food for a large group of guests same time so we could eat our food together. Inside greets you with modern style and loft type ceiling lamps. Wide range food selection from sea food through pizza, pasta and beef. We enjoyed our meal and had a good time. Food was tasty and I can recommend this place. One star deducted because of the spider web hanging inside the lamp so there is a place for improvement. However over all well done!!!
We went here in search of vegetarian food and walked it happily with a tummy fool of yummy food.
We ordered Pizzas and Gnocchi, all the three dishes tasted delicious and the presentation blew our mind.
The only disappointment is the chocolate powder on top of the Tiramisu which was a bit too much.
The staff was super friendly and helped us in English!
Lovely restaurant and great food. They have their own bakery, bread was fantastic. We had pizzas, salads and don't forget to order soup. Yummy.
Horrible staff, they don't communicate, you try to reserve a table, they don't tell you anything at all. The food looked good on pictures I'll give them that. When I finally managed to get a table for my partner and our baby some bloke just sat there since he waited at the door like a good dog. AVOID AT ALL COST. Since it's a touristy place they don't give a damn about you...
I actually don't understand such high reviews.
We stopped for some lunch & ordered pasta Bolognese and limon risotto.
Pasta Bolognese was ok but risotto... I mean, it was a rice porridge with parmesan. The asparagus was overdone like 5 times (turned brown).
The service... I cannot say the waiter was welcoming or friendly. Was super usual.
And we needed to wait to get her attention for a bill. Ended up coming and paying by the bar when she was chatting with another waitress.
The atmosphere...
The oven is big and beautiful, the music was great but there are so much of plastic decor. In dust. Idk but IMHO it's not very "restaurant'ish".
Definitely not a place to come back.

Western City is a Wild West-themed amusement park located in the picturesque countryside of Karpacz, Poland. Spanning across 65 hectares, this attraction features various western-style buildings such as saloons and sheriff's offices, along with entertaining activities like archery competitions and staged bank robberies. Visitors can also interact with animals including horses, goats, cows, and donkeys. The park offers a nostalgic experience of Poland before the end of communism.
A place worth to visit, unique and nice vibes, kind staff specially the man who rides you the horse.
It would be great to have more animals like cows and activities of interaction with animals like milking, washing, etc.
We paid: 46 PLN/Adult + 15 PLN for parking.

Went on a Sunday at 2 PM. Huuuge prices. The entrance fee of 50 Zl per person (only cash) was outrageously high given the fact that almost all attractions were closed. The show was barely a few minutes long (bank robbery). The actors were less then enthusiastic to play the roles. Very few anymals and mostly hidden away. Only the small train was open. Food and drinks were ok. Would not have gone If I had known that everything is closed.
This a wonderful kids tourist spot. It really is mainly for kids. Came during the summer and weather was perfect. Kids horse rides, bouncy house, and a bull ride for all ages. I had fun as a an adult. Can spend a couple of hours here.
If you want to experience how Poland was before it abandoned communism, you need to visit this place. No pictures or words can do this place justice. It’s definitely worth the entrance fee just for the comedic value alone. Alarms bells should have sounded when we pulled into the “car park “ and got charged 15 złotys for the privilege to park. We came here on a grey Sunday morning and thought we would struggle to get half an hour’s entertainment…..two hours later we were still rolling around the floor laughing! Ignore the review below about one of the attractions “just being a pole in the ground “, we were particularly impressed by this pole, it was shiny and at least 2.5 metres tall, definitely not worthy of being called “just a pole”! When you think the place has hit a low point you find they’ve conjured up another cultural misappropriation.
Great place with show times every hour 💪
Super great place if you have 6year old boy :)
Overall its OK, but for the second time not worth to go there. Card acceptance only in the restaurant and gift shop. Take a lot of cash as thats main thing. Also lack of management which reflects on a quality of experience.
If you are looking for wild west vibes and a community of people that are passionate about the cowboy themed topics, this is definiately the plae to visit.

From high tech hotels to unplug youth/scouts amenities - there is everything there.

Really beautiful place. We didn't have much time here as it was an impromptu trip, but we got to take the gondola up to the top and walk for a while. The gondola is approximately £20 per person for a ride up and down and lasts about 15 minutes to the top. Not many people speak English here so be prepared for that! Its colder at the top than you expect!
Well kept hiking trail considering the fact that it cost 8 Polish zloty per adult. Very nice breath taking view. The last stretch to the shelter was the most difficult but it was worth every step
One of the nicest places in the Sudetan Mountain ranges. Relatively inexpensive. Lost of hiking, bike riding of cross country skiing opportunities. Service levels in most places slowly improving.
Beautiful place to visit. Maybe it's not for everyone to hike there but it's worth trying. And you can stand at the border and see both countries (Czechia and Poland) from a perspective. Don't forget to buy a 3day pass.
Really nice park! Great place for family walks, there are paths for the family but there are also some harder paths where you can challenge yourself to do. Overall amazing however it would be better if there were more bins in the park.
I love Karkonosze. Adventures are guaranteed, as well as beautiful views and cosy shelters. Lots of hiking paths apart from most obvious ones
Very picturesque park where you can escape to have fresh air and a touch of nature. The only thing wad that it was very difficult to find hot tea or coffee served on the premises. During cold weather that would have been great. Apart from that hiking was very well done with railing.

Nestled in the charming area of Sobieszów, Pizzeria Colosseum has been a beloved dining spot since 1999, offering an inviting atmosphere perfect for gatherings of all sizes. This eatery is renowned for its delectable pizzas with a fantastic dough, alongside mouthwatering pasta dishes and fresh salads. Guests rave about the creamy shrimp tagliatelle and the irresistible garlic bread that keeps them coming back for more.
Amazing creamy pasta with plenty of juicy shrimps! (under the tagliatelle and spinach sauce) Colosseum pizza was also delicious!

Great food! Pizza dough is amazing. Rizottos delicious and my favourite pizza garlic bread just fantastic!
Shame that a waitress couldn't cope well with a bigger numer of guests and was a bit slow. However it won't stop us coming back😀!
Pizza is not expensive. Taste was good, but the dough was very oily. Overall average restaurant.
Apparently the only eating place open latish in this area. Modestly priced. Service was ok, but both pizza and pasta at this restsurant have turned out to be rather disappointing.
Variety of salads, pasta and pizza. Delicious! Thanks for nourishing dinner for late travellers!
Nice interior and polite staff, but poor quality of the food. Our salad was soggy and soaked in mayonnaise.
I was passing by this place with friends for Chojnik Castle and smell of pizza's dragged us inside. Pizzas were as good as they smelled. yum
Nice place, good pizza, but closes quite early as in these parts.

For day 2, we recommend exploring the north side side of town. Start the day off with Szklarki Waterfall, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Siruwia Japanese Garden. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Szklarki Waterfall, the second highest waterfall in the Polish Giant Mountains, is a picturesque cascade of the Szklarka stream located at an altitude of 525 m a.s.l. Accessible via wooded hiking trails, it offers a pleasant walk along a mountain river and is situated in the Karkonosze Nardowo Park. Visitors can enjoy the stunning 13.
The place is wonderful, you can linger at the waterfall, listen to the sounds of nature, drink coffee or beer, eat in a cafe right next to the waterfall.
We decided to see the sights on bicycles, but it turned out that riding on the territory is prohibited. So we had to walk with bicycles:)

Lovely place very easily accessible from downhill locations and not so easily from uphill ones.
Very nice experience in the nature. There is a pub around with some homemade products. You can stay there and have a good time. Highly recommended.
Great waterfall, with very easy access. Must pay for access, but not much. Strongly advise to try the cheese on the grill by the car park
Great place and it is not too hard to get to. The way to the waterfall is along a mountain river. Very pleasant walk. As soon as you enter the forest you call feel and smell the air is different - good place to go to in the summer to rest when it's hot. Please do remember to take good strong shoes with you and some cash / debit card to pay for the entrance to the National Park (9zl per person as of 2023).
We were surprised that in the middle of the forest there is even a "hidden" small shop/restaurant close to the waterfall so if you want to have something to drink or eat - it is there for you.
Stunning place. Very easy access from the road so it's perfect place for the families with the small children and for the old people. The waterfall is beautiful. Behind the waterfall is the forest with the public footpath and you can walk straight to Szklarska Poręba. I can highly recommend.
Very nice (and easy) walk to the waterfall. You can keep going if you want. You can make it with the stroller which is great for family with little kids. It wasn’t that busy but we visited during the weekday.
It was a nice easy walk to the waterfall. And really easy to pay the park entrance fee. There is a QR code that you can scan at the beginning of the trail. The waterfall is beautiful and the sounds of the water are so peaceful.

Golden View offers a stunning lookout over the Kamienna River valley and nearby peaks.

The viewing platform provides wooden sun loungers and benches for relaxation while admiring the breathtaking landscape. On clear days, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Krkonose and surrounding mountains.
I can highly recommend this place with a such stunning view. The view is breathtaking, especially with the snow in the mountains or on sunny, colorful day of early Autumn. It takes less than half an hour to get there from the carpark by the road to Szklarska Poręba. On the top you can take a break, admire the landscape and relax on the one of wooden benches.

Rather ordinary viewpoint occupied by tourists.
Amazing view with an easy walk to get there. There is space to watch the beautiful landscape and sit there.
Beautiful view, available seats and sun loungers for relaxation. Unfortunately we had fog, so we had a distorted view.
Parking at walking distance, nice place and great view on the surrounding mountains.
Worth seeing, nice views, close to the main Rroad approx 2 minutes.
Great place with magnificient view. Too easy hike though.
Really nice view point! Have places for picnic and relax:)

great views and a very easy trekking route. also not far away there is an observation deck. recommend to visit early in the morning so you will be able to have a free parking slot. if you willing to continue your trekking you could cross the road and go to the waterfalls which is not far away as well.

Rocks nothing fascinating. Be aware of moving the top rock!
Nice location with a rock formation. Takes a few mins walking from main road. Nothing too extensive. Word of advice - the rocks do move if climbed on so climb at your own risk.
Impressive stone formation, good photo opportunity, formation lies at easy walking distance from Zloty Widok/Golden View. Good little walk.
Monster rock which can be moved by two man power. Huge disadvantage is the fact that path leading to this place is demolished by heavy forestry machinery.
Something new to see. Good walk
Beautiful place, relaxing waters .
Too easy hike but the stone is really impressive and nice!

Chojnik Castle, situated in Jelenia Gora, Poland, is a restored medieval fortress perched on Chojnik Mountain at an altitude of 627 meters. The castle offers sweeping views of the surrounding valley and forests. Accessible via hiking trails, the journey to the castle can be challenging but rewarding. Visitors can explore the historic ruins and enjoy panoramic vistas of the Karkonosze Mountains.
This castle and the path leading to it have everything you need. You can choose between easy walk or interesting rocky-hike to reach the castle. The castle ruins are well maintained so you can feel how the living there could look like in the past. Nice view from the top of the tower. The place is totally worth recommending to visit when you are nearby.
Piotr P — Google review
A great walk through the woodland to an interesting ruined castle at the top of the hill with panoramic views over the valley. Not a walk for the unfit but not to be missed if in the area.
The only negative was the restaurant at the top. The staff were miserable and it wasn't cheap even though it was literally self service and you had to pay to use the toilet despite being paying customers. They could do better! Otherwise a brilliant place to visit.
Lovely well preserved Castle, great view of the surrounding mountains. Nice hiking path to get there (bring good shoes and weather appropriated clothing)
It’s a beautiful castle on the top of the hill with a small cute cafe. But to be honest paying for three different tickets is kinda scam. Because first they charge you for parking and then for the national park which includes the castle btw and then lastly for the castle.
Impressive catsle ruins. We visited on a clear sunny day, and the views from the tower were outstanding. The whole path to the castle is stunning. It is quite a steep hike up and a few paths to choose from.
There is a caffe on the side of the castle, the food was very nice.
It wasn't busy when we visited, so it felt like we had the whole castle for ourselves. I recommend taking a stroll around the castle walls. There is a viewing point with an amazing view of the castle 🙂
Qe parked in a store close by in a store called Skelep, it cost 15 slot for the day.
There is a fee to get in the National Park where the castle is located so don’t forget to pay. There are two well signalized ways up to the castle, we got the red one to go up and the black one to go down, even though the black one was a bit hard in a snowy day.
The castle has a fee to get in but worth the views.
There is also a restaurant where we only got a regular hot chocolate to help in the cold. The place is family friend.
Incredible view from the castle.
PREPARATION: Bring hiking shoes/clothes and walking poles because it is a 45 minute hike up to the castle, and another 45 minutes back down, on a VERY STEEP and uneven rocky path. Avoid on rainy days because the path is very slippery and dangerous. Take the RED path because BLACK path is very dangerous.
PRICE: it costs 20pln for parking at the nearby store, 11pln/person to enter the national park, and then 15pln/person to enter the castle itself.
Beautiful hike and view from castle is worth
Park entrance - 11 złoty
Castle entrance - 8 złoty

Siruwia Japanese Garden, located in Przesieka, is the highest situated Japanese garden in Poland at 600 meters above sea level. This small gem nestled in the Karkonosze Mountains offers a miniature version of authentic Japanese gardens, complete with various plants, small bridges, charming ponds, and waterfalls. Visitors can also explore a museum showcasing original swords and armor from Japanese dynasties. Guided tours are available to walk around the garden and visit the samurai museum.
Here are some beautiful views of Siruwia Japanese Garden, also known as "Little Japan"—a stunning sanctuary nestled in the Karkonosze Mountains near Karpacz.
From the moment I stepped into Siruwia Japanese Garden, I was transported into a serene and enchanting realm where Japanese design meets the wild beauty of Lower Silesia. The garden is masterfully crafted according to Japanese horticultural principles and feng shui, seamlessly blending Oriental elements—streams, stone lanterns, bonsai—with the rugged charm of the Karkonosze landscape .
A highlight of the garden is its extraordinary collection of approximately 3,000 rhododendron bushes in over 80 varieties—truly a horticultural gem . The winding paths invite peaceful exploration, while charming bridges, gently flowing ponds, and cascading waterfalls evoke a meditative ambiance .
But Siruwia offers so much more than natural beauty. The “Samurai – The Knight of Ancient Japan” Museum showcases authentic armor and interactive activities like postcard stamping—making culture tangible and engaging . For families, the highest playground in Lower Silesia is a delightful surprise—kids can enjoy ten-meter slides while parents savor Japanese green tea in the café .
Every detail here whispers of dedication—whether it's the bonsai art, authentic Japanese treats, or the peaceful layout aligning with tradition and tranquility .
Verdict: A captivating oasis offering cultural immersion, horticultural splendor, and family-friendly delights. Whether you're seeking peaceful reflection, a dash of Japanese culture, or a fun outing with kids—Siruwia is an absolute must-visit.
I hope this review captures the magic of Siruwia Japanese Garden! Let me know if you’d like help planning a visit or discovering nearby treasures

Not sure if caused by the season we visited - mid April - but it was not what we expected, especially for the price of the ticket. Basically nothing was blooming and everything in there was closed. Didn't have the Japanese vibe, was just a normal quite nice park.
Nice place worthy to see 👀 it once.
Got lovely charm of Japanese culture along historic respect. Tickets include free tour.
Also have kids activities
Amazing place for a walk, you can easily spend here 1-2 hours enjoying nature and some exotic plants and trees. The entry price is a bit high for this type of attraction but all in all worth visiting.
It's a nice garden but overpriced. For families with children there is a big children play area that may make it more worth, but not for me. Will not return for sure
An amazing place so quiet and peaceful
For those who are huge fans of Japanese culture, this place is worth a visit. You'll likely enjoy the thoughtful design, which is clearly a labor of love for the theme. If you're coming for the slides and gardens, you can easily spend three to four hours exploring and having fun. For that audience, I would give this place a 4 out of 5 stars.
However, if you're a family with young children, you'll need to be prepared. The lack of food options is a major drawback. My family was explicitly told there was no food available—unless you count ice cream. We found it pretty strange to see so many people having ice cream for lunch. It's hard to believe they haven't set up a simple solution like a fridge with fresh sandwiches, considering how long people tend to stay here. For families, I'd give it a 3 out of 5 stars.
When you're on your way, don't be surprised if your navigation seems to have gone haywire. You'll feel like you're going the wrong way, but just keep calm—the path is definitely off-road. You may want to skip the car wash beforehand!
Another disappointment was the samurai armor exhibition. We found the building but all the doors were locked. We could only get a peek through the partially open windows.
Ultimately, the price is a real question mark. If you're there to use the slides, the cost feels more reasonable. But if you're only visiting for the garden, it's a hard sell unless you're truly captivated by the photos. Otherwise, this is an easy place to skip.
Beautiful authentic-looking space! Not too big, around 2km of pathways. Has a small samurai museam with swords and armour that you can visit with a guide. Guide services are included in the price and tours start every full hour. The matcha ice cream there is delicious! The price is a bit high, but it's valid for two days, so I guess if you're staying nearby you can visit again and sit and meditate to the sounds of the waterfall ☺️👍

Pizza restaurant
TITO PIZZA is an excellent establishment that offers delicious pizza and top-notch service. They are able to assist customers who may have difficulty communicating as they don't speak the local language, going above and beyond to help with tasks like calling a taxi. The 4 cheese pizza is highly recommended, as it has received great feedback from patrons. It would be even better if there were additional options like salads or side dishes available for order.
Had the 4 cheese pizza which was really good. I wish they had a salad or an extra side dish to order.

Beautiful location, but very untidy and messy. Pizza was not great, especially for the price, the cook looked absolutely exhausted and unfriendly. She must really hate her job. The worst experience we have have in a while. Certainly stay away.
Very good Pizza and good service. They helped us to call a taxi because we don‘t speak polish. Thank you very much!
We will come again.
The place is dirty. Used plates on the table, glasses too. The staff is not interesting about cleaning the tables. Pizza was under the table too. Pizza is OK, but not Italian originally.
great location (5*), good pizza (4*), great beer (5*) - and nice people... will definitely come again if in the area
Perfect. Delicious from start to finish. Thin base and delicious ingredients!!! Will be coming back again for more! :)
Great pizza in an unexpected location. Better in summer when garden seating is available.
Nice restaurant, good pizza, friendly personal

Nestled in a picturesque mountain setting, Gospoda Restauracja "Wedle Bucków" offers an authentic taste of traditional Polish cuisine. Open from Tuesday to Saturday and on Sundays, this charming eatery invites guests to savor delightful dishes like goulash and mushroom soup while enjoying the serene ambiance created by beautiful piano melodies wafting from the conservatory.
If not this attractive and nice service this restaurant would have only four stars. Two most attractive waiters add so much freshness. Would love to visit again soon. Strongly recommend mashroom soup.

Idyllic location in the mountains, we sat outside on the terrace ate delicious goulash and chicken whilst we watched the rain pour down around us, and listening to beautiful piano music trailing out of the conservatory door. Service was great and prices were reasonable.
Lovely place to stay for relax surrounded by beautiful river. There's so many options for hiking in summer near the hotel, of course, if you love so. If not, just enjoy and relax
Nice place, friendly staff, tasty food.
But we got soup and main food at the same time (1 min) and other had to wait 10 min.. Please serve main food for all group at once.
Prices are relevant, but we have found some differences between receipt and menu card. We have been waiting more than 1 hour for ours order.
Simple food with amazing taste. Definitely recommend.
Good local food. Nice garden with small vineyard.
Love this place for its food and atmosphere.

Nestled in the charming village of Jagniatkowo, Restauracja i Willa Agnieszki offers a delightful culinary experience that beautifully blends traditional Polish cuisine with European influences. The menu is thoughtfully updated each season to incorporate fresh vegetables and fruits, ensuring a vibrant dining experience. Guests can enjoy the warm hospitality of the staff while savoring dishes like Hungarian Goulash or succulent pork ribs with mustard sauce. The ambiance is enhanced by stunning stone stairs that add character to this lovely establishment.
Surprisingly empty place next to great mountain trails. Good price to quality ratio - elegantly served standard local dishes with good choice of local craft beer. Could do better on wine, but probably not many connoisseurs around. You could say this place is sort of symbolic for the whole area - that looks slightly post-ago land of old people who do not really feel like they belong there. But worth a visit nevertheless.

Great spot in Jagniątków! Our hiking group often stops at Villa Agnieszka after coming down from Kotły. The food is tasty, the prices are fair, and the owner is welcoming. The dining room is comfortable and much nicer than you’d expect for such a small village. Honestly, it’s the only real sit-down restaurant around unless you drive to Szklarska Poręba—more people should know about it.
And convenient on premises parking.
Good evening, we have recently visited this restaurant while on our holidays in Poland.
Absolutely amazing place. Restaurant is very clean and spacious, with kids corner. So you can enjoy your delightful meal and let kids play.
Food is top notch. Very fresh and rich in flavor.
I had a chicken rolade with spinach with some potato dumplings and it was just OMG 😱 you need to try it. For children we ordered pierogi 🥟 na słodko and these were also superb.
Place is bit off the main city of Jelenia Góra, but it is worth a drive as even the views from the restaurant are rewarding.
Finally, staff working in the restaurant is very friendly and looks well after your needs.
Cozy, small hotel with very clean rooms. We had a delicious meal at the restaurant and slept perfectly and comfortably.
They let us in for dinner outside their official kitchen hours. Food was very nice (pork ribs with mustard sauce) and plain/meh (chicken on stick). The menu is very limited
Thank you sooooo much for the lovely Hungarian Goulash, just finished now. Ready when you said it would be, ... we will/do recommend you! Tim and Kate, .
We ate here a number of times, great food, good portions and prices, great range of beers and always a friendly and efficient service
Very good food - tasty soups, main dishes, good Czech non-alcohol beer. Nice service and affordable prices.

For day 3, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Muzeum Karkonoskie w Jeleniej Górze. Not quite as popular as Chojnik Castle, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 8 hours.

The staff is described as friendly and helpful. Families can enjoy clean facilities with generous-sized lockers, making it a great break from hiking for both adults and kids.
We visited the aquapark in July 2023. It is a nice place for very reasonable price. Warm water. Many attractions for children. There is a problem to find a place for your car at the parking lot sometimes.
Václav H — Google review
Owercrowded in summer. Better to buy ticket before but still need to wait in the line. Expect waiting. IT is packed inside but you could enjoy water And some slides or oter atraction. Basic selection of Fast food And one soup of the Day.
Water was super nice and my skin felt soft after.
Only complaint is parking and ticket situation.
We waited in very long line to get in.
Online tickets don't have separate entrance.
Bit of the hustle to get in but once there it is nice.
Also pools are made of stainless steel whatbi never experienced before
I'm little bit confused,
I have read that this is tje best thermal bath in this region.
Unfortunatelly it is more or less like an aquapark, not a thermal bath, because there are not specialized pools for relaxing or bubble bath, there are only two small whirpools on the other hand there are two water slides.
I was there for the first and also last time. It is not generaly bad, but the expectation of thermal bad was very very different from the real situation there
We love this place. However, the last visit was different - Monday 27.10.2025 around 15:00 waiting for almost 1 hour just to get in. The place was so full, they would let the new visitors in only when some current visitors left. That unusual crowd was predominantly CZ guests, possibly due to CZ holiday next day, Water felt somehow colder than other times before, but still Ok. Reasonable price, the pools are not overcrowded even when the limits are full.
Amazing place full of fun and slides.
Good food choice inside and outside.
Spa is ok but can be occupied.
Can buuk in advance different types of massages and treatments
Great little set of pools with a few slides. It gets pretty busy.
Tiles can be really slippery, so be careful when walking.
There's also a small cafe upstairs.
1. Bad organisation
2. Bad management
3. Terrible chip-display facility cabinets.
4. Hundreds of client : one pisoar, one toilet :-) 5. Hundreds of peoples came in this complex for whole day, and there is no normal restaurant !!! Some pitty buffet, closed for rest in 14:00-14:45 !??
6. On the second floor at the Kavarna, there is not enough ventilation. Generaly there is not ventilation at the roof, can't breathe
7. At the "Spa" reception desk, there is no staff whole day, to present you some procedure, massage or towell, if you want to rent.
7. The complex have terrible flloor plan, too many facilities in small area, very noisy....AND ONLY 5 LOUNGES-BED AROUND INSIDE POOLS ?!

The Muzeum Karkonoskie w Jeleniej Górze is a highly regarded regional museum with fascinating exhibitions for anthropologists and anyone interested in the Karkonosze and Sudety regions. It showcases traditional clothing and tools used in the area, as well as multimedia exhibits that unfortunately cannot be accessed currently due to the ongoing epidemic (as of 16 July 2020). However, despite this setback, the museum remains a must-visit destination.
Very cute and authentic museum about history of the city/region + amazing glass exhibition on the second floor. They also sell glass artworks. Entrance fee for adult is 20 zl. You would probably spend less than an hour here but it's still worth it as it welcomes you with history and art
Evgeniia — Google review
Well organized, and very informative if paired with the audio guides. Plenty of historic and interesting exhibits. The glass works section on the first floor is also very artestic.
It's very interesting place. There is no guide, but still worth visiting due to fine exhibitions. I had a chance to see exhibition "Glass. Architecture. Design" where I saw masterpieces made by Borek Sipek. Just amazing things, beautiful and impressive.
Stuff is very kind and helpful, there is also parking lot for a few cars nearby. I would recommend this place also for families with young children.
This regional museum is one of the best I was in, exihibitions are extremly interesting for antropologysts and all people who are curious about Karkonosze and Sudety. You will see typical clothes and tools which were used in region. Multimedial exhibitions are also included buy due to the epidemy are out of order (today is 16 july 2020) but even without part of things museum is 100% worth to see. Style and form of the Museum is very simmilar to the museum which are located in Orgosolo, Sardinia. Car park are nearby but isn't free (about 2.4 zł per hour). The museum is available for invalids, there are elevators inside.
Very nice local museum, not expensive. Beautiful glass works from past
Great exhibit, has a good souvenir shop
Not really worth it. Very small. Collection of new and old glass work if you should be interested.
Fantastic exhibits containing items covering over 500 years of local history, plus a delightful selection of historical glassware from all across europe

Time Gates - Bramy Czasu in Jelenia Gora offers a fascinating tour through old cellars, WW2 labyrinths, and underground passages. Led by enthusiastic local guides, the dramatized visit provides insights into over 300 years of history with a touch of humor and folklore. The chilly tunnels are adorned with slightly cheesy but enjoyable scenes from the past. Visitors are advised to dress warmly and be prepared for a cold experience not suitable for claustrophobic individuals.
Absolutely Amazing tour.Our tour guide Arthur Was very Knowledgeable of the time gates and funny explained everything very well and even went out of his way to learn English he didn't know just for our tour and spoke very good english highly recommend going to anyone who would like to learn about the history there.

I attended Historical tour and the Crazy Alchemist Show . Alchemist Show is really nice, kids loved it , historical tour is interesting, but definitely not for small children. So far 5 start experience .... But, the tesla Coil, it is interesting, unfortunately way tooo loud, in my opinion can damage hearing, haven't heard anything that loud in my life , my kids wanted to leave straight away after that experience, they said they really disliked the Tesla Coil , I have seen other kids crying, just terrifying, for Tesla Coil 1 star .
It was a fantastic experience. Both the experiments and the guided tour where very interesting.
Thanks to the "Crazy Scientist" everybody had fun, both young and old 😊
The historical tour was very informative and interactive. You could see that the guide was a passionate.
Artur was an amazing tour guide, he was funny and kept the kids engaged.
Very nice tour, super interesting, super nice and funny guide (robert). I can recommend it. We went their four a tourstop during our biketravel.
Arthur was our guide on English. Very nice museum and well-told history of this city and mine. A place you must visit
Arthur did the science experimentes and underground tour, he really made the experience for all of us! He was charming and funny, and kept the crowd engaged.

Very tasty pizza!
Super.
(Translated by Google) I waited exactly 1.5 hours for the pizza, whether it was a lot or a little, I leave no comment, unfortunately the pizza arrived cold and there was no cheese on it, which makes the whole thing a failure, to put it mildly, and the delivery cost PLN 15 (I think she was driving by Uber), which I was not informed about . I'm changing my rating from 5 to 1 star, I was cheated on the most expensive junk pizza in Jelenia Góra.
(Original)
Na pizze czekalem dokladnie 1.5h, czy to duzo czy malo zostawiam bez komentarza, niestety pizza przyjechala zimna a dodatkowo zabraklo na niej sera co sprawia ze całokształt to delikatnie mówiac porażka, dodatkowo dowóz kosztowal 15 zl (chyba jechala uberem) o czym nie zostałem poinformaowany. Zmieniam swoja ocene z 5 na 1 gwiazdke, zostałem oszukany na najdrozszej pizzy z gatunku smieciowych w Jeleniej Górze.
(Translated by Google) The pizza was tasty, the ingredients were fresh and the dough was well baked, but it lacked something special that would really impress. It was correct, but nothing special. The price seems a bit high considering the quality and taste - I expected something more for this amount. Overall ok, but nothing great.
(Original)
Pizza była smaczna, składniki świeże, a ciasto dobrze wypieczone, ale zabrakło w niej czegoś wyjątkowego, co by naprawdę zachwyciło. Była poprawna, jednak niczym się nie wyróżniała. Cena wydaje się nieco zawyżona w stosunku do jakości i smaku – spodziewałam się czegoś więcej za taką kwotę. Ogólnie ok, ale bez rewelacji.
(Translated by Google) I waited 3 hours for the pizza, it arrived cold and not good. I paid PLN 15 for delivery!!!! The driver had no money to spend at all. I do not recommend!!!!

Na pizze czekałam 3 godziny, przyjechała zimna i nie dobra. Za dowóz zapłaciłam 15zl!!!! Kierowca nie miał w ogóle pieniędzy żeby wydać. Nie polecam!!!!
(Translated by Google) There is quite a big dilemma here when assessing the product. The owner is very polite and courteous 👍. Prices are quite high in times of inflation, comparable to other well-rated pizzerias in Jelenia Góra. The pizza was tasty. The ingredients on the pizza were of very good quality!🧀🫒🧅🧄🍕. However, the biggest disappointment was that the cake was as thin as a sheet of paper. This is where your own preferences for dough come into play. For me, this is a big minus for such a thin cake. Of course, pizza is only for takeaway.

Tutaj jest dość spory dylemat z oceną produktu. Właściciel bardzo uprzejmy oraz grzeczny 👍. Ceny w czasach inflacji dość wysokie, porównywalne z innymi dobrze ocenianymi pizzeriami w Jeleniej Górze. Pizza buła smaczna. Składniki na pizzy dało się wyczuć bardzo dobrej jakości !🧀🫒🧅🧄🍕. Natomiast największe chyba rozczarowanie to ciasto było tak cienkie jak karta papieru. Tutaj już wchodzą własne preferencje co do ciasta. Dla mnie to duży minus za tak cieniutkie ciasto. Oczywiście pizza tylko na wynos.

The Way to a Man's Heart is Through His Stomach...
"Sonata" is a lovely small cafe/restaurant in Cieplice's pedestrian zone, just a few minutes away from the charming town's health center and recreation park.
We enjoyed dining there on various occasions - and their home-made meals were always a good choice to us. Ms Monica, a sweet waitress with her reasonably good command of English, always did her best to cater our special needs, e.g. by replacing parts of a specific dish for us or following our request to cook some meat exactly the way we prefer it.
At "Sonesta" they arrange dances with a trumpet player's live performance every Thursday night and guests seem to love it!
They place is also famous for their home-made cakes and other pastries.
In the spring and summer-time they run an inviting beer garden behind the building. We can certainly recommend it

Visited today for drinks and a light snack. I sat outside and they had blankets to oneself warm. The staff are extremely friendly and they take card.
Everything we ordered - soup, potato pancakes, pierogis, and nalesniki were delicious. The drinks were very good and the service was outstanding. Prices are very reasonable. We'll be returning here very soon.
Good professional service at a good price in the picturesque town of Cieplice.
Really great and tasty food, however service was the worst I ever received. Upon asking about the possibilty to pay using card, we heard that it’s impossible and they will never do it! No proper care about the customer.
Very good food. You do not expect that looking at the front.
Service good.
Nice Polish food, very friendly service and very affordable!
(Translated by Google) We've passed this place many times, and today we went in... We chose the Hungarian pancake and the borscht with croquette. Unfortunately, both were hits. The croquette required searching for the filling, and the small pancake wasn't crispy, drowned in a fatty sauce, and served with weak salads. A further suggestion is to serve the sour cream separately so the customer can decide how much to add. Other dishes may be better, but you can find a much better pancake in Jelenia Góra at a comparable price. Unfortunately, we're not adding this place to our list.

The biggest in Jelenia Góra. Quite ok if you like medium size malls. Wólczanka and Vistula is there and some shoe brands stores as well.
Every Saturday, we went to this mall for time, spending 😆😆 eating food
A pleasant and peaceful place. There are many different shops. You can eat. I liked the Polish food, delicious dishes.
Auchan supermarket is huge compared to others, but the location is quite far from the city centre.
Whatever you want, it's there
Modern, comfortable shopping mall, situated at the centre of the city connected with buss station. Lots of cafes with tasty food, exchange money point and toilets, large underground free parking.
Nice selection of stores and services, toys, clothes, groceries, shoes, books, a small foodcourt etc. Note: This rating applies to non-pandemic times when all the stores are actually open.

Baszta Zamkowa is a pleasant and easily accessible destination, offering a splendid panoramic perspective from its elevated position. However, caution is advised when ascending the tower's steps after rainfall as they can become dangerously slippery. This particular attraction forms part of the historic fortifications of Jelena Gora and provides an impressive outlook towards the city center. Notably, visitors are able to enjoy this remarkable vista without any admission fees.

Nice free-to-go place. Very nice view from the top of the tower. Steps after rain are quiet sleepery so pay attention during going up the tower.
Great view, for free. Nothing to add except 5 stars.
Beautiful view of the city, if you visit the city of Jelenia góra I recomend visit this place. For 30 minutes aleast.
It’s restoration, was funded by EU , but someone so arrogant , that English , Spanish ,French and German text was missing . A bloody bureaucrat’s way of expressing gratitude for EU donations , by writing it all in Polish . Shame on him , send him to a English lesson 10 weeks in tourist information .
Cute little medieval tower from original town walls giving panoramic views over Jelenia Gora old town centre and surrounding countryside. Quite a few stairs but not climbing a mountain so well worth it. Also information boards inside and panels detailing surrounding area.
Ok view on the surroundings, pretty devastated inside

The Lookout Tower on Krywousty's Hill, once known as knightly and now referred to as princely, boasts a rich history dating back to the 14th century. Founded by Prince Henry Jaworski, it stands as the largest and best-preserved medieval residential tower in Poland and ranks among the most significant towers of its kind in Europe.
The view is amazing! And it's well kept and for free. Recommended! Not too far from the city center, you can easily walk there.

Good sightseeing place not too far from the city center. Beautiful view to Jelenia Góra city area.
There is one tower. This tower hight's is so high. This tower location is 1.5km to new rynek or main bus station. The whole city (jelenia gora) is visible from that tower.
Great place with a nice view with the city's landscape
Amazing view !! Worth the 150+ stairs
beautiful view, accessible for free which isnt seen in most attractions of this type
View is nice but from distance is great. From inside is look like place for homeless people party.

Nestled in the charming locale of Leśna Huta, this destination is a treasure trove for lovers of handcrafted glass art. Visitors are welcomed into an enchanting world where traditional glassblowing techniques come to life. The workshop showcases skilled artisans creating stunning glass decorations and figurines right before your eyes, offering a glimpse into the age-old craft that has been passed down through generations.
Absolutely incredible place! Not only can you take a class in traditional lampwork, the glass blowers are incredibly talented and willing to answer all of your questions! As a glass lover and collector I bought all the tiny glass animals I could find! Quick tip for anyone who collects UG, bring your flashlight!!! They have old stock glass and the amount of amber coloured UG is INSANE 👀

A magical place where artisans dwell. It’s a must-see. Stories are told, gifts are made and experiences held.
It was incredible to watch masters of making glass sculptures at work and be able to ask questions. This is a tiny workplace where all sorts of glassware are made and can be purchased. The kids were amazed and mesmerized. Only four instead of five stars as the website was not up to date and advertised participation in making the glass wonders which my kids were looking forward to do only to be told on arrival that this is not available.
Small ironworks that allows to see how glass is manufactured. Pleasant craftmans answers all your questions with patience and even do animals from glass when children ask.
However, workers didn't prepare any tours or stories - It's rather AMA/Q&A formula. After that you can buy some souvenirs made from glass. Prices are quite affordable.
We had great fun making glass flowers here! Excellent experience at a good price. The professionals didn't speak English, so my wife had to translate for me. Stunning to watch them at work if you didn't want to try having a go yourself.
Watching production of glass decorations. Great idea and experience.
Odd little place on the edge of town. We stumbled across it. It was surprisingly busy. Some very unusual glass art. Parking is on waste land though.
There are so many beautiful hand blown glass figurines. Very cool place!

A very interesting museum with an amazing interior of Gerhard Hauptmann
Interesting wall paintings and status
Very helpful and friendly guides, the tour is complete with an audio guide. Full of paintings, furniture and history, recommend!
Villa Wiesenstein. Small museum in a historic villa. Old well-kept park. A quiet place with a view of the mountains.
Site of the German writer and playwright Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946),
Nobel Prize for Literature 1912.
Cheap and small exhibition, nice villa
A hidden gem! And they provide good audio guides 👍
You have to know about Mr Hauptmann if you are Karkonosze fan. We got a nice tour around even with spicy details.
Great museum commemorating literature Nobel Prize winner Gerhardt Hauptmann who lived in this magnificent residence for some 50 years and died in this very house in June 1946. Worth visiting!!!

Ecological park
Hiking area
Rudawski Park Krajobrazowy is a protected area in Poland known for its stunning mountain ridges, cliff formations, and lush forests, making it a haven for hikers and rock climbers. The park offers a fairy-tale atmosphere with interesting rock formations and trails suitable for hiking, biking, and horse riding. Visitors can explore the Bolczow castle nestled in the beautiful forest or take a leisurely stroll to the colorful small ponds.
Fantastic place, recommend to everyone. There is unusual rocks formation and 13 century castle which was built into those rocks. The road towards the castle takes 40 minutes, it is quite challenging but exiting.

Beautiful forest. You can climb uphill to a viewing point , and when the weather is good you can see Snieszka mountain which is also the border to Czech republic.
Interesting and remote mountain range. It is good to visit if you would like to rest far from touristy places.
An amassing place to be. Walks, rock climbing, mtb and any outdoor activity you want to do is allowed here. No words to describe this place..
Completely destroyed woods and roads. It does not deserve the name " park" anymore. It's horror all over
Enjoyed the walks with some wonderful views. Good shade from the trees thus able to walk also during the hotter days. Pack for comfy boots, don't forget food and drinks as options to buy something on the way are limited. Limited parking but free.
I simply can’t describe with words the beauty of this place. Simply breathtaking! If you visit it, please respect it and do not leave trash behind. We must preserve places like this at all cost! ❤️🌳
One of the most magical places in Poland and so far my favourite. This small low-mountain area will greet you with a fairy-tale atmosphere. You can find there many interesting rock formations, it is a very good place for climbers. Secondly there are several nice trails for hiking, biking and horse riding. You can visit a Bolczów castle, located in the beautiful forest, have a walk to the coloured small ponds or visit "Szwajcarka" shelter and have a good-quality beer. There is also a piece of history of uranium mining to discover - if you like this part head straight to "Miedzianka" village. And there are plenty amazing places all around, hard to name them all. Definitelly must see.

Fresh Kebab, a renowned kebab establishment, stands out among many others due to its exceptional flavor and quality. Hailing from the southern hemisphere and having explored numerous kebab joints throughout Europe, I can confidently assert that no other place comes close to matching the excellence found here. If you crave an outstanding culinary experience, this gem is conveniently located just a minute away from the bus station. The extensive portions provided and the friendly nature of their staff only enhance the overall dining satisfaction.
Great kebab.
Very friendly staff who spoke good English. Food was very tasty and hot.
Would definitely recommend.
Graham L — Google review
One of the best kebabs I've ever had! Huge portion. Great taste. Friendly service.
Best Kebab, I have ever had, coming from the southern hemisphere and travelled most of Europe, no kebab has come close to this ever. If you looking for a great meal, just a 1min walk from the bus station. Best choice you well ever make on your travels!
Waiting for a doner for forty minutes, got a small tortilla instead of a big and on top of that the staff wanted us to pay for an order again lol.
Go somewhere else
Nice kebab, nice atmosphere but preparation took a long time. 9/10.
You have to be really hungry to eat full big size meal.
You can have a beer to your meal.
There is a toilet on site

If you're on the hunt for a delicious bite in Berlin, look no further than "BERLIN DÖNER KEBAP Sudecka." This spot offers kebabs that are anything but dry, featuring fresh additions like tomatoes and cucumbers wrapped in a soft pancake. These toppings elevate the dish, making it juicy and flavorful. Don't miss out on their cheesy French fries—truly finger-licking good!
Loved it!
Patrik W — Google review
bro they brought to me a frozen kebab lol, it was really disgusting, also i choosed the yogurt sause but that thing was only on the top, the rest is dry
It was too bad
(Translated by Google) The food surprised me very positively. The kebab in the rollo was not dry, I love it when I find additions such as tomato or cucumber in the "pancake", they diversify the dish and make the dish juicy.
French fries with cheese sauce - finger licking good.
Nice service, there was a lot of traffic but as promised - they arrived within 6-7 minutes
I recommend it!!!!!!
(Original)
Jedzienie bardzo pozytywnie mnie zaskoczylo. Kebab w rollo nie byl suchy, uwielbiam kiedy znajduje w "naleśniku" takie dodatki jak pomidor czy ogórek, urozmaicają potrawe i sprawiaja ze danie jest soczyste.
Frytki z serowym sosem - palce lizac.
Obsluga mila, byl duzy ruch ale tak jak obiecali - zmiescili sie w czasie 6-7 minut
Ja polecam !!!!!!
(Translated by Google) Rollo fries are, in fact, fries with sauce in a pancake. There was only a trace amount of meat, but it was supposed to be 150 g in a large one.
(Original)
Fryt rollo to de facto frytki z sosem w placku. Mięsa śladowa ilość, a miało być 150 g w dużym.
(Translated by Google) Why did I eat it on the side Polish food Kebab cold inside Friday cold My guts were bothering me all day And that meat must be from some cat because it has no taste Never again I don't recommend it to anyone
(Original)
Dlaczego ja go zjadłem z boku polskie jedzenie Kebab zimny w środku Pią zimna Bebechy cały dzień mnie nawały A to mięso pewnie z kota jakiegoś bo bez smaku Nigdy więcej odradzam kazdemu
(Translated by Google) I rarely leave negative reviews but today I have to. I ordered a large rollo as usual with a CLEAR request WITHOUT ONION!!! (Never had this problem before!) Not only did they chop up the onion, but in such quantity and pieces that you 🤮 wanted it. The sauce was also not what it should have been, I got garlic with dill! 😤 And what if I was allergic to these ingredients? Are you serious?! If only there was a big crowd... I think 4-5 people behind the counter were joking around instead of LISTENING to what they were being told. I was always happy, so for a while I think I'll say no. And spare me the standard comment you post under every negative review.
(Original)
Rzadko wystawiam negatywne opinie ale dzisiaj muszę.Zamówiłam jak zwykle duże rollo z WYRAŹNĄ prośbą BEZ CEBULI!!!(Nigdy wcześniej nie było z tym problemu!) Mało że tą cebulę wrąbali to jeszcze w takiej ilości i kawałkach, że się 🤮 chciało.Sos też nie ten co powinien miał być czosnek dostałam koperkowy!😤A co jakbym miała uczulenie akurat na te składniki?wy poważni jesteście?! Żeby był jeszcze jakiś duży ruch...chyba z 4-5 osób za ladą sobie heheszkowały zamiast SŁUCHAĆ co się do nich mówi.Jao byłam zawsze zadowolona tak na jakiś czas myślę podziękuję.I darujcie sobie ten standardowy komentarz który wklejacie pod każdym negatywem.

Vietnamese restaurant
Hanoi, a Vietnamese eatery, offers delicious cuisine with exceptional customer service. What sets this place apart is its availability on Sundays, making it the sole option in town for weekend dining. The food is of high quality and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The emphasis here lies not only on the delectable dishes but also on the impeccable service provided by the attentive employees.
Food is very good, prices are reasonable. Service is very nice, especially the lady with pink hair ;)

Tasty food. Good service time even in rush hours.
Packaging was good aswell.
Sad part they don’t serve any tofu dishes.
I really like asian restaurants, but this one is the worse.
We couldnt eat the chicken soup, was horrible.
Cow meat with mushrooms was several days old, reheated.
They forgot to give one dish, but we paid for it.
Overall very bad experience
Food tasted great. The service was normal although the waiting time for the food took longer than I expected. The lighting inside and ambience could be better.
Not the best you can get there, but good quality and size small for price. My clothes smelled like a fryied fat after the visit.
Pretty good food, but it is the service that is best. Probably only place in town opened on Sunday
Really amazing Asian food in Poland. We did not order Vietnamese dishes but surely they’re good. We had curry and glass noodles. Both were excellent! Highly recommend.
Travelled to destination as reviews looked good. Food looked good and good prices. Forced to leave restaurant as 32c outside. Air-conditioning was turned OFF
