Tasty food

Delicious food, good quality, big variety, polite service and centrally located!
Loved the Lassi from the drinks too.
Once I ordered one of the mixed starter dish and it wasn't worth it though so I wouldn't recommend it.
Prices have gone up by most dishes and drinks from 1€ up to 3€.

Pros: Tasty food , Central location

Good Asian Food

We tried the summer rolls with Seitan, the vegan chicken in peanut sauce and the sesame tofu. Everything was tasty, only the tofu was a bit boring for my taste. But the vegetables in the Hoisinsauce were excellent. We would come back and try different dishes as well.

Big portions and amazing drinks

Small full vegan pan-asian restaurant with cozy decoration and a restaurant dog 🙂

We started with the V1 starter which was perfect to share between three people as most things on the plate was three each. Super yummy and big for a starter, could also work as a main course if you're looking to try different things.

As a main dish I had a very nice rice noodle dish with seitan and my friends had the vegan "duck" and the burger. Everyone was very pleased with the place and the service was also fast. The best thing though was definitely the drinks - they were tasty, big and fresh!

Pros: Big portions, Delicious drinks

Loud crowded place, there you cannot talk nicely.
There are many better places.
Rude stuff.
Waist of money.

Cons: Cash only, Not labelled vegan options , Crowded

Below average for Berlin

The food was ready quick but the quality and taste was far below most other veg*n Vietnamese restaurants in Berlin.

The Pho tasted mostly like white pepper and the kimchi was not fermented but a cabbage salad with a sweet sour sauce.

Pros: Vegetarian, Food arrived quickly

Cons: Food not great, Dark interior, No vegan labels in menu

Excellent flavors!

What incredible dishes! My husband and I would’ve gone again if we weren’t leaving Berlin. Awesome vegan and vegetarian options, with tofu or seitan. Main dishes were only around 6 euro, cash only.

Pros: Great flavors, Variety of vegan proteins, Very affordable

Cons: Cash only, No free water without other drink purchase, Not super friendly

Pretty good with pretty uninformed staff.

The food is quite tasty, albeit not very "clean", i.e. partially quite oily and generally somewhat highly processed; the food options are somewhat classic but also partially different from dishes you would get at other vegan Vietnamese or vegan options offering Vietnamese restaurants in Berlin. The prices are a little bit below average while the portion sizes are bigger than what you'd get at several different - and oftentimes pricier - restaurants.

The location is fine and the staff is friendly; BUT - while the menu does list some non-vegan drinks made with cow's milk, in other cases - such as the Green Tea ice cream - it is not clear whether or not some of the desserts are made with "classic" animal ingredients or not. The different menu items do have allergy information listed and that particular dessert was not marked as containing dairy, but given that ice cream is usually made with it, I was not that sure. Asking however, the waiter was not able to tell me what it is made from, because "they" would buy it pre-manufactured from a "big Asian market" and apparently he had no idea what the ingredients are. I was just told he wouldn't "believe" that it is made with dairy - and well, I had already eaten one and asked only afterwards after becoming somewhat sceptical, and I did not get any stomach pain which I would normally after years of being vegan and accidentally eating dairy a few times since then, so he could be right, but you don't know for sure and a more enlightening menu would really be useful it not necessary.

Pros: Quite tasty, Relatively cheap, Relatively big portions.

Cons: Menu is not very clear, Staff has no idea about particular ingredients.
