Fantastic food

Food was delicious but service wasn’t so great. I asked for water 3 times and never received it. I ordered the number 21 as other reviewers have mentioned it’s great. Also ordered some fresh rolls. Number 21 was a curry noodle soup. It was absolutely fantastic and I would certainly order it again.

Very very good food.

The food here is really good, one of the best Vietnamese place I tried. As always in Berlin portions are huge. I like the fact this place still looks like the old Berlin, a bit old. For me it's a pro.

Pros: Food is really the best., I like the not very fancy place.

Cons: Difficult communication.

Good, affordable, slow service

The restaurant seemed severly understaffed, we waited about 45 minutes before anyone even took our order and the guy was on the phone this whole time. However, when the food came, it was really good, big portions and very cheap. So go there if you're not in a hurry!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good food, Super affordable

Cons: Long wait times

Super Essen

Das Essen ist immer sehr lecker. Das meiste ist vegan und bestimmte Gerichte, wie das Curry, können vegan zubereitet werden. Meine Highlights sind die Vietnamesischen Pfannkuchen und die Reisnudeln mit Tofu und Gemüse!
Außerdem ist der Preis sehr angemessen. Ich werde immer satt.

Delicious Vietnamese Specialities

I had fresh Summerrolls with a peanut dip, a spicy Pho and Che Bi, sticky rice mixed with pumpkin in coconut cream and sesame. The Entrée and Main were full of fresh veggies and the dessert was interesting and very tasty.

Most of the items on the menu were vegan, so we had a huge number of options to chose from.

Pros: Authentic Vietnamese Specialities , Most items were vegan

your typical vietnamese vegetarian resturant

Which is not a bad thing of course, it is good to come back to familiar tastes and never end up disappointed

Authentic, delicious, filling

There are thousands of Vietnamese restaurants in Berlin, but this one is truly something special.

Pros: Regional specialties you can’t find elsewhere, Everything is veganizable, Mushroom-forward dishes

Cons: Not all dishes are vegan by default; ASK

A must: order Number 21

I loved this place because of number 21. Thinking about moving back to Berlin because of it 🤔.

My favorite vietnamese restaurant in Berlin

Authentic vietnamese kitchen run by two women. Almost everything in the menue is vegan. Ingredients are discribed so that you easily can check. You should bring some time with you by a visit. Everyone is relaxed.

Pros: Authentic vietnamese

Curry not on standard of SEA food

I just came back from Thailand after eating 9 months delicious vegan tofu Curry there.
I ordered a Thai curry, the taste is just ok, the vegetables are ok fresh, but misses some taste.

I will try some noodle dish next time.

One of my favourites

Very tasty food and lots of choices. My favourites are the Vietnamese bibimbap (not vegan, though) and the filled tofu in the clay pot. My Vietnamese colleague likes it here a lot, too.

Pros: Lots of choices for vegans, Authentic

Cons: Few gluten-free options

Very tasty

Very tasty, however - vegan options are not marked. Ingredients are written, so you can check yourself. Not very comfortable, but it works. The food was great.

Pros: Tasty

Cons: Not marked properly

Amazing food!

Amaaazing food. Everything tastes great. Can hardly believe that they don’t use msg. Recommend the tofu bags and the salad. Service is not particularly friendly, though. Would still revisit and recommend to anyone!

No 21 is a great soup!

If you like tofu, noodles and mushrooms in a nice creamy coconut milk and lemongras broth: go for no 21!
We also had No 14 which is a cold noodle salad with tofu: also nice but not too special.
