Authentic asian food

Nice interior, friendly staff, good food. It was not to crowded on the afternoon, but they forgot my juice.

Utterly brilliant

They have a super wide range of different small dishes (almost a downside since everything sounds amazing and it’s so difficult to decide!) and super friendly staff. Their interior is very cozy with many options to sit outside.

Me and my girlfriend tried 5 dishes to share, we ended up bringing home almost half of it all in a take away bag. Because we got very full. But I am telling you. The food was excellent. Their curry was fantastic, might be the best I’ve ever had. We also had some tofu sticks with a spicy raspberry dip (how do you even think of that and why was it so delicious??)

We ordered some spring rolls and they were very nice, but to be honest not that different from the ones we have at home in Copenhagen. Which is a good thing.

Only downside is that we ordered a Lychee Mojito that was very bland in taste. Not recommended.

This is, so far, the best food I’ve tried in Berlin. Absolutely worth a visit.

Pros: Venue, THE FOOD, Pricing

Cons: Lychee mojito was bland, Too big menu, difficult to choose!

SO GOOD ✨🌼✨🌼✨

i loved 1990. it was recommended to me by so many people and I’m happy we went. we shared 5 different tapas and it was mooooore than enough. so many interesting choices on the menu and all vegan! the staff was friendly and the space was fun! they had a dish with a raspberry dip (crazy!) and udon noodles, rice etc. as extras. their curry was amazing and I enjoyed everything. we had the litchi mojito which didn’t taste of that much sadly - but the litchi fruit that came with it was so good.

Updated from previous review on 2024-05-07

Pros: Delicious food, Many different choices , Great place all around

Cons: Tasteless litchi mojito

Oriental flavours

We had already tried Vietnamese cuisine in another restaurant and we didn't like it.
This time we decided to give it a second chance in this beautiful, completely vegan restaurant in Berlin.
The restaurant has many tables both inside and outside and is tastefully furnished with a style that recalls their tradition.
The dishes, with their unique flavours, are varied and very good. This time we were thrilled!
The staff is friendly and the service is fast.
Average prices.

To conclude, however, I would like to make a critique: how is it possible that in 2024 you can only pay cash in a restaurant? At the end of lunch I had to go out to make a withdrawal at a nearby ATM, also paying a big commission for the withdrawal. Couldn't you just accept electronic payments like everyone else does?

Pros: tasty food

Cons: only cash accepted for payment

Another Berlin Asian tapas place

There are like 5000 of them, this is one of the good ones. You can tell because getting a seat is really hard. I recommend booking ahead.

Updated from previous review on 2024-03-09

Pros: Food is good, Many, many options

Cons: On the pricier side for the area

Alright Vietnamese tapas but nothing special

Went here with a group of friends and the food was alright.

The restaurant is big and very popular, they don’t take reservations but we managed to get a table for 7 people at around 19:00. Together we tried different tapas/bowls and I would say they were good but didn’t really taste that much and some felt a bit soggy. Some of the tapas were also quite hard to share. My favorites were the spring rolls and surprisingly the guacamole!

If you decide to go here I can definitely recommend their “Gold Buddha” smoothie, it was super delicious with mango and coconut.

Everything fine, but a little boring

It’s good, delicious food. That’s not a question. But it’s not the best and there are a lot of better Restaurants in Berlin.

Good variety but something was lacking

It's great to order a bunch of small bowls to share but the food came lukewarm, and some were a hit, others were a miss. I would recommend coconut creme brulé though!

Great food

Loved this place so much - lots of things I hadn't tried before and a great selection of food. We only had to wait for about 5 minutes before being seated and the staff were relatively friendly. We ordered five of the small dishes and one of the main bowls. We both said we wish we had just ordered a couple more of the small plates rather than the main bowl!

Good but has been better

I don't know if I can rate 1990 as a must go in Berlin. It's definitely good but has been better a few years ago. There is a lot of variety but the food doesn't feel super fresh sometimes.
The big bowls are actually quite big for the prize.
A big annoyance is that they only take cash, unacceptable in today's time.

Pros: many options

Cons: only cash, not always fresh

I'm an anti-tapas girly ...

...I feel it's too much money for too little food.
BUT! this place actually changed my mind a little. It was still a lot of money but we're full, got our leftovers home and tried different stuff.
So yeah it's fine to go here 😌

Lively spot

The selection is varied. The portions are small, so you can try different things. The taste is nothing super extraordinary. Food was served extremely quickly after ordering.

Massive selection but flavour lacking

Very lovely vegan restaurant with tasty selection but be aware that it's very much catered to German palates. Interesting bowls but spices could have been upped by a 100. Loved the crispy rice covered tofu with the raspberry sauce and the aubergine. Got served a teaspoon of sriracha when we asked for it lol. Overall I would go back to try the other dishes but not expecting exciting flavours. Cocktails are great! #Veganuary

Pros: Large vegan selection , Com chien (rice crisp tofu w/ raspberry sauce), Rausch der Sinne (aubergine)

Cons: Bland

The tastiest! A L.O.T of food.

I was shocked that it was that big of a portion, I could't eat it all. It was very high quality of the food. I would definently go back to eat here.
It was very crowded though and I think that they had too much tables crammed in. I also couldn't talk to my friend because of the loud noise from so much people inside the resturant. So it's a no go if your'e going on a cosy date if you ask me.

Pros: Delicous food, Everything is vegan, Big portions

Cons: Too crammed with tables and chairs, Too much people = Noisy

Food and service was fab. Some of the food that I expected to be hotter was luke warm. It was meant to be luke warm this apparently once we checked so thats fair enough. The creme brulee was unreal!! Best dessert in ages!!
Overall fab experience x

Pros: The options, Flavours , Service

Super lecker!!

Wir waren spontan nachmittags gegen 16 Uhr an einem Samstag dort. Trotz der Uhrzeit war es gut besucht, aber wir haben noch ohne Probleme einen Platz für 3 Personen bekommen. Man bekommt Tischsetspeisekarten und einen Bestellzettel mit Stift. Wir haben den Zettel erst falsch ausgefüllt. Man soll bei den Bowls einfach nur die Anzahl eintragen wieviel man von welcher Bowl haben will. Da fehlte uns die Erklärung, aber das ist nur ein kleiner Kritikpunkt.
Das Essen kam sehr schnell in kleinen Schüsseln. Wir haben pro Person je 3 Bowls bestellt und alles durchprobiert. Leider steht an den Bowls nicht mehr dran, was was ist, so dass wir hinterher nicht mehr genau wussten, welche bowl welche Nummer war. Aber da uns alles fantastisch geschmeckt hat, ist uns das egal 😅. Ich hätte gern den Rest der Karte auch noch probiert, aber dafür war zu wenig Platz im Bauch und zu wenig Geld im Portemonnaie. Wir mussten bar bezahlen (wurde zu Beginn drauf hingewiesen). Keine Ahnung, ob das Standard ist oder ob nur das Karten bezahlen kurzfristig defekt war. Auf jeden Fall ist das Vegan living 1990 eine riesige Empfehlung! Unbedingt hingehen ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🙏

Pros: Sehr lecker , Schneller Service , Gute Auswahl

Cons: Nur Barzahlung , Bestellzettel Selbst ausfüllen (ohne Erklärung) , Zu viele Entscheidungen, welche bowl man nimmt...

Must Visit! ✨

Asian food heaven! You can order as many vegan Asian tapas as you want, they also have some larger dishes. I would highly recommend ordering smaller ones and share, the dishes are all so nice, the only problem is to decide which ones to choose 🥲 the silken tofu with crispy riceflakes was definitely our favorite! They also have very nice drinks. The staff was so friendly and the place is very cute and cozy. Make sure to go there when you are in Berlin!

So good!

I really liked the food. Everything was super fresh and good, the portions were more than enough. I do wish they would explain the concept (it's a bit like tapas I guess, most of the dishes are small bowls) because I don't speak German and I didn't know what to do when the waitress left a pen and paper on the table without really saying anything.
