Maybe the best Vegan Vietnamese Place in Berlin

Berlin has a great variety of vegan and vegetarian Vietnamese restaurants, but Chay Long may just be the best of them all (admittedly, we haven't eaten at all of them yet, but we're close). The quality of the cooking here is just consistently a level above most Vietnamese restaurants.

Take the Curry for example: the sauce is a lot earthier, spicier & funkier than you'd usually get. The vegan duck is among the best in the city, and the portions are very generous. Another favourite of ours is the Bao Bun. Almost all Bao Buns in Berlin are good, if they get the dough right, but here the filling is just so much tastier and more complex. I also really love the Bánh Xèo. The presentation varies a little each time, but you mostly get the version with lots of betel leafs and lettuce to use as a wrap.

We can also heartily recommend the Pyramid Dumpling, the Chay Long Monastry & of course, the Vietnamese Coffee. The service is really good & the place is cozy and inviting. If you call ahead, they can also deal with slightly bigger groups, even though the place isn't that spacious. We've also been to the Chay Long in Kreuzberg and although the dishes they offer vary a little, as far as we could tell, they're just as good.

Overall, to us, Chay Long is really the archetype of a 5/5 vegan Vietnamese restaurant.

A lovely place to eat

A great find. Amazing food - everything was fresh and super tasty. Fully vegan and that’s a huge plus! People are very friendly and hospitable. We highly recommend the place to others, and will definitely return ourselves.

Pros: All vegan, Fresh and tasty , Friendly service

Fantastic

The food was amazing. Not too heavy, as some Vietnamese restaurants can be from time to time. Also there’s a very nice vibe inside and the staff is so friendly.
Will definitely go there again next time I’m in the area.

Delicious vietnamese food

The cafe introduced me to the vietnamese cuisine. Never expected it to be so good. Seitan dips, summer rolls, sweet potatoes, oyster mushrooms - is just a small (but very yum) portion of the big menu of delicious food. Cool As A Cucumber cocktail is a fresh tasty drink to enjoy with your meal. The cozy atmosphere and nice staff make your experience comfortable and make you want to come back more (which ofc we do).

Pros: Seitan dips, Cool as a cucumber, Summer rolls

Much enjoyed

They had a nice lunch menu, I had the báhn xèo which was really good. The pho has a really nice broth which I’ve never been able to find at other vegan Vietnamese places so it was a nice surprise! The curry was also good.

Tolles vietnamesisches Restaurant 💚

Ein schönes Restaurant mit rein veganem, typisch vietnamesischen Angebot. Alles was wir probierten war super gewürzt und aromatisch. Auch die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!

Try the bahn xeo!

We got the pyramid dumpling, bahn xeo and peanut curry with vegan duck. Everything was so good! I highly recommend trying the bahn xeo. Their vegan fish sauce is delicious! The duck also had great flavor and texture.

TOP

I've never visited the café itself, but I often order takeaway food from them. It is quite expensive, but the food is absolutely worth it. It's amazing and the staff at the café are great about accommodating my preferences: they'll substitute rice with vegetables or change the sauce, for example. They are INCREDIBLE.

Also, their customer service is top notch. They always ensure that my order is accurate and delivered promptly. The packaging is environmentally friendly and keeps the food fresh. This attention to detail and commitment to quality really sets them apart. Highly recommended!

Warmly recommended

I have enjoyed the delicious food and pleasant atmosphere at Chay Long a few times. The service very accommodating and friendly. The location is wonderful in a quiet area of the otherwise lively Prenzlauerberg. Chay Long gets a warm recommendation from me. I would love to come there again.

amazing vegan duck!

we had lunch at Chay Long and I’m still thinking about their peanut curry with the vegan duck. I’ve never tasted anything like this. So good! And their dumpling soup was so tasty as well. Cute space 🍜🥟

Alles super lecker

eine sehr leckere Vorspeise, die "schweinespieße" zusammen mit der Soße waren perfekt.
Und dann die Udon Nudeln, ein Traum. Und auch die in Klebreis gebratenen Bananen waren ein Gedicht. 10/10 gehe ich wieder hin.

Nettes vietnamesisches Restaurant

Netter Laden mit guten Essen und fairen Preisen. Es fehlt aber an etwas Besonderen für den 5ten Stern.

Vorspeisen lecker

Die Vorspeisen waren sehr lecker! leider hat mir die Hauptspeise nicht geschmeckt, die von meiner Begleitung war aber super. Deshalb allgemein ein tolles Restaurant.

schlechte Drinks, Essen auch nichts

Die Terrasse bzw der Bereich zum Essen draußen ist recht groß. Es war am Wochenende trotz super Wetter wenig los, was schon kein super Zeichen ist, wenn man bei anderen Plätzen Schlange steht. Manche Angestellte rauchen draußen. Drinks waren schlichtweg viel zu süß, obwohl extra für nicht süß gefragt wurde. Vorspeisen waren nix. Bao Bun war ungewürzt und ohne Soße und die Füllung waren komische Pilze & Nudeln. Tofu sticks mit Erdnuss Sauce waren winzig und haben alt geschmeckt, Soße war ok. Curry war versalzen (ich essen sonst sehr salzig) und wenig Reis. Wirkte nicht sonderlich frisch alles. Service bemüht, aber na gut…
Verstehe die Bewertungen nicht!

Nice traditional vietnamese in Berlin

Very nice traditional Vietnamese place in Berlin. Food is unbelievably good. Came around 2pm and had the pho for €8.90, I believe that was a lunch special menu until 1600hrs and it would normally be €10.90. Coffee is of course really good as well if you’re familiar with Vietnamese coffee. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Europe.

Amazing place

Everything I tried was really good. The vietnamese traditional steamed was really tasty, with a slight sweetness in its dough, and the filling was delicious. The betel leaves wraps were really really good. The noodles were also delicious, the coriander gave a very fresh flavour. Really recommended

Alright meal

Stopped in for dinner and between 2 people we ordered one large dish (a rice noodle dish with tofu) and two small dishes (banana leaf dumpling and the bao bun). We weren't blown away by our food but it was alright. The noodle dish had some peculiar flavors, there were some herbs included that were quite bitter. My favorite was the bao bun.

Nice vegan duck

I had a spicy coconut curry with vegan duck. It was nice although not that special. We also shared 2 starters. They were nice but a bit greasy. I didn't get the tea I ordered and they also got the people next to us the wrong drinks twice.
