Hamy Cafe

We get the hype - good portions, yummy food and very affordable €6.90 mains! You do have to share tables with others so not a conducive place for get togethers and conversations. It was also quite busy when we visited. We got the green curry with chicken which was delicious, would recommend if you’re looking for no frills, cheap Asian food.

The most amazing food you can find in Berlin. Thank you guys for the plate full of flavours. Definitely coming back tomorrow

The food is really delicious, service was fast, not that friendly. Price to the value and quality you get is fantastic. Tables are shared with everyone, so you expect to sit with a stranger, but that’s lovely anyways.

Hard recommend! Super busy atmosphere. Super quick service. Great value. Delicious and nourishing food. Not heavy and perfect to fuel a night out! Small menu but plenty of gluten free and veggie options

One of the crowded Vietnamese restaurants I have been to so far. Not fancy but authentic food. The menu is simple. Service is fast. Flavours are so good. Yummy and fresh. Prices are reasonable. Most of the dishes are below 10 euro. Serving is in a large bowl , quantity is very good for a person. It's a small place so it's not recommended if you wanna sit relax and have food.

Savory and affordable food, no frills diner, fast service. Best value for money in this area. Warmly recommended.

The food is really good and cheap. They just increased the price but it elaborates the taste so no complaint at all. Usually very bustling. But always fast and I was never dissatisfied with the food.

Great place. Tasty food for little price. Although it is quite small and you have to wait for a seat quite long and then be seated with strangers, the food makes it all worth.

TL;DR BEST PHO IVE HAD IN EUROPE are you missing asian (Viet) food? do you want to try real asian food? please come here. your stomach will be full. your heart will be full. mine most def was.

Ordered the noodles with curry sauce dish and it was fantastic!! The curry was super delicious. I never had curry with noodles. I'm used to always eating curry with rice, so this was new for me. They went really well together and I'm definitely a huge fan. This dish was also just 5 euros, very affordable. This place gets pretty crowded so come early if you want to avoid long waits. We came around 6:30pm and by 7pm it was packed with a line forming.

Came here on a Friday evening and it was packed the whole time. I ordered the tofu curry and mango lassi. The curry was perfectly seasoned and it came with a lot of fresh vegetables that complimented the sauce perfectly. The highlight of the meal was definitely the mango lassi. Probably the best lassi I have ever tried. You could taste the fresh mango and it had the right creaminess and sweetness. It was also crazy cheap (only about 7 euros for my meal)!

Food is amazing, portions are large, price is cheap. The ultimate trifecta. Ordered chicken pho, chicken curry and tofu curry. All are amazing. Preferred the tofu in the curry because the tofu had better texture and flavour and you received more than when you order the chicken. For the pho though I would stick with the chicken. Service is fast and to the point. Don't really see the point of going anywhere else for Vietnamese food, it doesn't get much better than this.

very good. Had the Pho Bo here. I like Vietnamese food. Watermelon shake was fun to drink just got better and better. I got a good buzz off noodles and sprouts. I am sad it is gone. It's for a nother dat I'd definitely go back for more noodles a different day.

Food and prices are out of reality. The space is pretty small though and friendliness is not the key point here. Sit fast, eat fast, pay fast. It's worth it? For sure!

This place is the bomb! The menu is in German but based on other reviews I ordered the chicken curry and my dad got the beef pho. Both were super delicious! The pho was classic and tasty and the chicken curry came with rice and a bed of spring greens over the curry. Flavors were perfect, and just the right amount of spice! So glad we found this place, our first meal after arriving to Berlin~

Nom nom nom....... That's all anyone could hear coming from me and my boyfriend as we ate here last Saturday. We were starved, it was cold and rainy, and the food at Hamy did the trick. We both opted for the vegetarian version of the day's special-a spicy peanut sauce filled dish with tofu, vegetables, and rice. We snagged the only empty indoor table, the food came out in minutes, and we ate until we were full and warm. At 4,90€, this place really can't be beat.

Short menu, all the dishes are fresh and full of taste with very good prices (4.90€). The only problem I have with this place that it is super popular and always crowded. If you don't like crowds and rushing while eating then better go somewhere else.

This is the best and fastest place to grab some Vietnamese food at hermannplat. Would really recommend this to place to people who wanna eat good food fast. Do not expect the place to be silent which can be good and bad.

This place was recommended to me by some random person I met in a bar in Berlin. Get the curry special it's one of the better curry's I've ever tasted also for 4,5 Euros the price is right. The food also came so fast that I spent several minutes trying to convince the server it wasn't mine , turns out it was.

Definitely pretty tasty, and fresh ingredients, but not that authentic. It seems that there's a distinct Berlin style of Vietnamese food, which is heavily Germanized---I'm pretty sure zucchini is not a traditional Vietnamese vegetable, for instance.

I had the chicken-curry dish. Flavourwise it was ok, nothing spectacular. There wasn't that much meat in the dish. I was a bit disappointed.

They have daily offers, 2 main dishes and one soup. It tastes really great and the price is also good. The only thing I don't like is staff is a little bit rude.

Vegans and vegetarians are NO LONGER WELCOME at Hamy. We had eaten here many times, choosing the tofu options and requesting no fish sauce. However, at our most recent visit the server insisted that now NO dishes at Hamy can be made vegan, it is no longer possible to order anything without fish sauce, and that vegans (and vegetarians, unless they eat fish) must eat elsewhere. He basically angrily threw us out of the restaurant for requesting vegan dishes. What a terrible disappointment! Try "From Hanoi with Love" on Hermannstraße instead, which is still happy to welcome vegetarian and vegan customers. If the folks at Hamy read this and this is NOT the new policy as our server insisted, I'd love to know what was going on yesterday!

A good spot to have a quick, cheap and tasty lunch/dinner with fresh ingredients from a small menu. The two daily specials are usually a good choice and at 4,90 Eur a good deal. They are fast, efficient and a bit hectic. Tables are not exclusive (people are added if the table has more seats) and if you come with a group your entire group needs to be there before you get the next table. The atmosphere is a little crowded. This is not for your relaxed business lunch or a romantic dinner. If you expect maximum service, courtesy and attention from the staff of a restaurant, this is not your spot and you probably should look for something more pricy. The reason they can pull this of is that they are fast and flip tables like crazy. If you appreciate a simple quick way to get your lunch/dinner with some fresh ingredients, this might be one of the best options in the area! I feel inclined to write this review as I witnessed a scene today at Hamy were a english speaking customer, a mid aged lady with Fur Hat and pseudo intellectual styling, was accosting one of the service staff in the most horrible and entitled way, cornering and harassing her for at least 5 minutes, as the staff explained to her that she could only be seated once her entire group arrived. The customer was basically assaulting the staff verbally in the worst ways with an entitlement that was nothing short of complete trumpism, also mentioning she would write a terrible review and this would never fly in London or America and is a terrible practise by the restaurant. The staff took the harassment with grace and stayed calm. As I interfered and told the customer that she made her point and should leave it be, she escalted even further as her slightly embarrassed party arrived (I spare you the nationalistic, narcissistic and entitled cursing). Anyhow, if you feel for that customer, you should probably avoid Hamy like the plague. If you are that customer, I have no hope for you.

AMAZING. I enjoyed the food so much. Order the tagesgerichte .. just order it without question. Should be written on a chalkboard in the small dining room area. Just order a meal - should be enough. The reviews are accurate. Go here ! SO GOOD !

All the vegetarian dishes aren't vegetarian. There is always chicken broth or fish sauce in it. That is criminal, don't go there!

Such a great, quick restaurant with fresh viet flavours. Order from the dailies and there's usually a veggie version provided, I got a delicious tofu lemongrass curry. Yesterday I had my favourite from the fixed menu- the glass noodle salad. A watermelon shake is also handy if you load up your dish with the chilli sauce on the table.... Every dish we tried has been on point, only the pho received a lukewarm reception from my boyfriend, I'll be back tommorow!

My boyfriend and I spent 4 days in berlin, and ate here twice! the first time was dinner, and we both got the Pho. It was so amazingly delicious, that we barely spoke to each other during the meal. The place is small, and kitchy. I love that its not pretentious..but just good ol' food. The second time we came here, it was early in the day....around noon. And the pho was no where near as good as in the evening. I suppose the reason for this was because the broth didnt have enough time to simmer and become delicious lol... so if i had to suggest anything, if youre going early in the day, get one of their noodle based dishes....but if youre going later, get the pho! itll change your world!!

I crave vietnamese food everywhere i go. At first I had serious doubts about the authenticity of the food. Still it was super cheap (6 euros) so whatevs. I ordered the glass noodle chicken salad. It was sooo good. I would eat here all the time if I could. Super cheap, fast, and fresh. Chicken was dry but that's really the only thing wrong with the dish.

Got there with some friends for lunch, we ordered and waited less than 5 minutes - and the food was already on the table. Good food and great value for money .

WOW, i can't believe i waited so long to go here. this is the best vietnamese food i've had in the city so far. as other people mentioned, there are only 2 main course choices per day and they are usually around 5 euro. the food is fantastic, full of flavor, the right amount of spice and fresh ingredients. they have an open kitchen where you can see the gigantic pots of either dish, ready to be served fast. our food arrived in under 5 minutes. i even dropped my chopsticks and had a new pair appear in 10 seconds. the staff was very nice and the cooks all seemed quite happy and joking with each other. i will be back here all the time. it's very popular for a reason!

It's quite good, and the price is right. And the food comes lightning fast Flavor is good, becareful, they do mean spicy if they say so. Esp. the squid salad. Lighting/atmosphere could be better but it's also Hermanplatz.. dont expect too much. I havent tried the pho, has anyone? I dont dare try the pho in Berlin.. I hate being disappointed

mmmm...PHO! Nothing can turn your world right side up like a good bowl of PHO! I found this place walking to Hermannplatz station from my apt and it has been a staple since. I love the no frills decor and the cheap prices. The specials are always good and the service is excellent for Berlin standards. If you want a great meal for under 5 EURO then this is the place to go!

Exactly the same family as M. Vuong's in Mitte. Two daily specials. Funky Asian drinks. Cat out of bag since 2007.

Great bare bones imbiss. As good as you'll get in berlin . everything people say is true.

Oh good lord this place was good and cheap! My wife and I went the first night after craving pho and seeing it as a highly rated Pho restaurant. Everything on the menu €4.90, an unbelievably good steal. We both ordered pho, I ordered beef and my wife ordered the chicken. Both came incredibly fast and the flavour was fresh and with a heady aroma of exotic spice. While we were planning to visit other restaurants during our time in Berlin, we could not resist coming back for dinner another night. I had the same pho again (seriously, that good) and my wife had a yellow chicken curry. We sat next to the open kitchen this time and I can confirm that these meals are hand cooked, and you can tell. I seriously don't know how they can charge so little for such a great meal! ONLY concern is they really cram people in. As a couple, expect to share a table with another couple or two as no seat goes unused. Not a good place for a quiet, romantic dinner... but for cheap, fast and delicious, this place is unparalleled!

This is such an awesome restaurant, we were there twice during our short stay. The food is great (I recommend you to try the daily menus) and the service is always super fast. Only downside is that it's usually very crowded and doesn't have a lot of space, but there is a take away option. The food is also extremely cheap.

Super popular and very cheap. When I lived in Berlin this was my favorite cheap meal. The daily 2 dishes are the way to go and there juice drinks are also nice. During the summer the watermelon drink is refreshing and worth the € 2.90. Service is attentive. Fans keep the interior cool. Because this place is so popular, it's best to go at an odd hour.

They really busy I could feel the energy. I had Beef pho. The taste is pretty good. The table and chair where nearby entrance are small and not cozy.

Just be careful we ate yesterday and i found small piece plastic in the food i told the waiter and he said it is ok it is not a big deal it is terrible

Second time here, and just so delicious! Cheap and fast, this place is a great stop for a quick lunch or dinner. They're also open late, which is nice when you need a pho fix. I have gotten the special once and the pho another time, and it's one of the only places to find a little of spice in very bland Germany. Not the fanciest joint in town, but worth a stop!

Nice food, really cheap and quick service. A perfect spot for a weekday dinner by yourself or with friends.

So great 10/10. We went back for the exact same meal the next day! Fresh golden tofu curry large sumptous portions with a wonderful staff. Top Top Top. Simple Menu Affordable quick and perfect. I miss it already and need to go back!

That's what is called foodgasm very delicious vitnamese food, the prices are very good but try to get a seat if you can ! ! !

I love you so much, Hamy. Within 5 minutes of ordering, I have a cold beer and delicious curry in front of me garnished with loads of crunchy vegetables, fried onion, and those authentic spices that I miss so much. I could eat Hamy every single day of the week. Often, I do.

OK, the food is good and tasty for the price but being so popular and trendy it is almost a hassle to go and eat there. Almost annoying since one can not sit down and enjoy the meal because the next diners are already lurking and tapping their feet, waiting for your seat to become available. This alone makes me deduct 2*'s on the rating. They also try to get you out the door as soon as you are finished. Sorry, but there are other Viet/Thai places in the neighborhood and that's where I go. Tata Hamy

Fantastic fresh food. Fast service. Very busy at times, but this gives it a buzzing atmosphere, and once you're seated, you are always served very quickly. Very reasonable prices for fresh, filling portions.

Okay "pan-Asian" food for German tastes. Not Vietnamese, at least not the two dishes I tasted. Neither was the Ca Phe Sua Da. If you don't care about that, go for it. It's cheap and pretty good.

worst service ever, super rude waiter. not a nice place to eat at. food was ok though.

While merely very good in a city of excellent Vietnamese cafes, Hamy gets four stars based upon their very positive cost-benefit ratio. For just over 4 Euros - just twice the cost of beer - you'll get a tasty bowl of soup, likely in less than 5 minutes. A perfect place after a short spree through the bars of Reuterkiez, but beware the crowd that accumulates just before the Hasenheide Freiluftkino opens at 9.

Wonderful, fresh Vietnamese food. Reminded me of Monsieur Vuong--just as good, and less of a scene. Definitely worth a visit.

The restaurant is quite popular so I had to wait but the servers were nice. I was curious why it was popular. I got a ball of vegetarian won ton dumpling soup. It was big and cheap. The first taste was salty. I was a little bit disappointed at this moment. However I kept eating and got to like the soup and drank the last drop of the soup. It had a lot of zucchini, cabbage, and interesting shaped wonton. When I finished the ball, I looked around. I realized that most people at the restaurant were eating curry noodle... I'm going to try that clear noodle curry next time. Wednesday July 6th, 2016 lunch in Berlin with Jeong Hwan

Very tasty, fast service and fair price. I recommend it!

Delicious, fresh, fast food. I ate lunch and dinner there today! They had an English menu. The place was rammed all day long. Seriously good food. Oh, and did I mention it was €4.90 for the chicken curry I had...!

Hamy is one of my favorite places in Berlin! Definitely some of the better Vietnamese I've had too! I recommend one of the daily specials, which is always worth it. For €4.90 you can get quite a lot! Despite the crowd, you usually won't wait very long, too, which always helps. All in all definitely worth checking out at least once.

Excellent value daily specials. Delicious food, Saigon Bia on bottle.

So cheap, so good. Delicious curry for 4,95, and it comes in two minutes since placing the order.
