Very impressive and authentic Vietnamese food

The meals we had were fairly simple but still delicious and very well priced. There was a lovely atmosphere inside, however the service was somewhat lacking.

They also offer a really nice range of cocktails and juices if you don’t drink, the raspberry juice was especially delicious.

In a very central area not far from Alexanderplatz.

I would definitely recommend and go again myself.

Pros: Fresh ingredients , Lovely drinks , Well priced

Cons: Slow service, Quite simple

Interesting but not impressive

We had the summer rolls and steamed dumplings as starters. The summer rolls contained rice noodles and some vegetables, but were missing the heaps of fresh herbs that make summer rolls such a great dish. The dumplings were good. Our main dish faux fish. It came on a hot plate, a tofu scramble wrapped in seaweed on a pile of vegetables, with rice on the side. The "fish" was interesting, the vegetables were crunchy and the presentation on the hot plate was nice.

Pros: wide range of dishes

Cons: bland summer rolls

Refreshing food

The place has a good relaxing vibe. Didn’t fulfil my appetite considering the price, but it was tasty and healthy.

Delicious food small venue

One for the nicest Dim Sum portions I have had. Menu isn’t massive but the food is great with some lovely flavours. Tables are quite close together. Cash only is on a tiny sign inside.

Fresh, healthy food

The food here is so good, really food portion sizes and everything is as fresh as could be. My partner and I both got the steamed udon noodles and they were the best udon noodles either of us have ever had. We also got the bun bao and the dumplings/ goyzas, both were incredible.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Good location

Cons: Little bit expensive

Very disappointing in all aspects

I am uneasy about using reviews for vegan places, as many vegans seem to uncritically upvote even the most problematic venues. To me this is an example.
Our food consisted of a steamed starter, bobun, a coconut curry and "home made lemonade".
On the bobun and equally the curry there was random salad thrown over it, some with uncut big pieces i would expect to be discarded and not served to customers. We would describe the spring rolls of the bobun as "greasy". The coconut curry was of random taste, as was the steamed starter. I have no idea what made the home made lemonade special, I would have liked Fanta equally.
We abandoned the food after a few minutes, left our mostly uneaten plates, communicated the various problems to the staff and asked for the bill. Full payment for the uneaten food was accepted by staff, and off we went to find dinner somewhere else.

Close to perfection

The Oranienburger Strase in Berlin is a busy (side) street with many shops and restaurants. Several of those restaurants have a man outside, trying to persuade people to come in and eat. One restaurant is quite the opposite: it has a queue of people waiting outside wanting to come in! Some even chose to eat outside, in the rain. You guessed it: "Quy Nguyen - Vegan Living" is popular.

I visited the at worst possible moment: on a Saturday, at dinner time (6 pm). The place was packed and people were waiting outside in the rain to get in. Yet, the staff quickly found me a spot and presented the German / English menu. I asked the waiter for his advice and simply ordered what he suggested.

Eventough the place was absolutely packed, the food arrived very quickly. As a starter I had "summer rolls". They were fantastic, but the peanut dip made them sensational. The high quality of the ingredients, the subtile flavours and the sauce made this simple starter something special. Great combination!

The main meal was "Cha Ca": a grilled seaweed steak with vegetables and rice. "Vegetables and rice" may sound simple, the "magic" is in the choice of vegetables, herbs and oil used for stir-frying. The vegetables weren't too soft or too hard, but just right. Also, the dressing was so subtle that the original taste of the vegetables remained. Oh, and don't forget the beautiful presentation!

Even the drink was delightful. I had a mango lasi (vegan of course), but with a little mint in it. Again, this changed a well-known drink into a special treat.

So why is the title of this review "close to perfection" and not "perfect"? The restaurant only accepts cash and that's a real disappointment. If you want to eat on a company account, this is a problem. Also, who carries cash these days?

Pros: fantastic food, big portions, modest prices

Cons: can be very busy, cash only

Tasty Pho

I got Pho Chay and it was tasty: light but at the save time flavorful broth, firm enough vegetables and a lot of rice noodles.
Recommend to stop by if you love Asian food.

Pros: Tasty soup, good price for what you get , Friendly and fast service

Cons: Lack of fresh air indoors

Six stars?

Best food we have had in Berlin. The dim sum was a good starter. I ordered the spicy pho, can’t remember the exact name but it’ll be easy to spot on the menu. The veggies were the perfect firmness and the level of spice perfect. Very large portion but I was starved and ate it all!

Definitely worth another visit! 😊

I took my parents to their first asian food experience setting very high expectations since generally I really like vietnamise cuisine. It was amazing to see how much they enjoyed it! Definitely worth it!
Really good and healthy food. Nice portions - not too small not too big and very friendly service.
The location is also very cosy and nice!
Loved the sustainable straws and the creative ideas for the lights (you’ll need to go there to know what I mean).

Pros: Super yummy and delicious starters! 😍, Sustainable straws and very nice location, Awesome homemade iced green tea

Cons: Cash only

Busy place with great tasting food

I had a delicious rice noodle dish. The sauce is amazing. I walked in here on a Friday night and had to wait a while to be seated so it's recommended to make a reservation.

Too salty, replacement: hot water added to the soup

I've been eating there for some time while they were still in Kreuzberg.
Today, in Mitte, I ordered the pho soup that was way too salty. I talked to the friendly waitress who suggested to replace my soup and I agreed.
I've been served the same vegetables and noodles and soup, just with added hot water. I could clearly taste the first upper lever that was very watery and much less salted, and the level underneath was very salty again. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing.

Pros: Friendly staff, nice cocktails

Cons: Unprofessional, no refund offered, too salty

Awesome!

We ate some of the most delicious Vietnamese Food ever at this place. Their soups are incredible. Although we had to wait some time to get a seating (because it was so full), the staff remained friendly and service was really fast.
