19 Best Restaurants in Berlin

"As one of the first trendy restaurants in newly gentrifying Mitte, Monsieur Vuong was written up everywhere and, years later, still attracts guidebook-toting tourists. You first notice Monsieur Vuong's delightful smells of curry, and then its sleek and shiny look, with lacquered red walls and wooden modular-style tables and chairs. There’s also coveted outdoor seating on rather rickety red picnic tables. The daily-changing specials are always a good bet, usually with a choice of curries—often with chicken, beef, or duck—and an appetizer or two, perhaps a spicy salad with prawns and peanuts. Anything off the short-but-sweet regular menu is tasty too, especially the flavorful beef or chicken pho or the tangy glass-noodle salad with chicken or tofu." - Liz Humphreys

Monsieur Vuong was buzzing with energy, and it’s easy to see why. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the menu is packed with options to please everyone. I tried the pho and the spring rolls—both were fresh, and satisfying. While not mind-blowing, they delivered on authentic, comforting flavors.

10/10 recommend! The food came out super quick, it was a big portion and very delicious. They have a daily menu which changes twice a week, meaning that there are always new dishes to try. I like that the menu is not overwhelming large. Overall very quick and friendly service and atmosphere.

The northern-style Pho that we ordered was a bit sweeter than the original + not super flavorful like the original, thus 1 minus star. Except for that, we enjoyed our time dining here. Highly recommended.

This is the first time I've tried cha gio; I don't think I've ever seen this in the States before. The pho bo is one of the most popular dishes on the menu so we had to try it. Tasted like the pho in the US except the broth was lighter with less seasoning (e g no hoisin sauce etc). I thought it was ok. The place was packed indoors and outdoors but they were able to find seating for 2 immediately. Pho Bo: Homemade beef bouillon with fine strips of beef, Banh Pho rice ribbon noodles and fresh Vietnamese herbs. Seasoned with cinnamon, aniseed and coriander. Bathroom was clean; they had one stall for the ladies and two standing toilets for men. Both genders share one sink

Berlin is not a foodie destination. I will tell you that M. Vuong was like an oasis in a sea of sausages. The broth was delicious and certainly more rich than the vietnamese pho in the U.S. Then again it had to be because it wasn't customary for them to serve the usual assortment of condiments that I am used to like sriracha, oyster sauce and extra greens. I was pleasantly surprised to have an aromatic, yummy broth. Seating was not comfortable but then again I don't think of a pho joint as somewhere to get comfortable. It's a place of serious gastronomic work! The aesthetic was nice mostly because it's owned by a gay guy who's book which is sprinkled throughout the venue has his picture on the cover should you be interested. All around a good spot for a good meal in the food desert that is Berlin.

Absolutely terrible service. The food was decent, but our server was inattentive and forgetful, almost as if they were deliberately avoiding us. We would've gotten better service at McDonald's.

I gave this eatery 2 stars. That is very generous on my part. 1 star for being a Viet restaurant in the middle of Berlin and able to carry out all these years. 2 stars for being brave to call itself a Viet restaurant. Pho is a traditional dish of Viet's cuisine but it tasted nothing like Pho. I'm sorry but it has no taste, no flavor! My husband ordered Beef Pho, my friend ordered Chicken Pho. Both tasted like salted water with rice noodles. I felt awful when I saw the Berliners lined up to eat "Viet Food". Mr Vuong, you might need to look over your kitchen.

Trendy atmosphere with a convenient bar for singles to dine in the center surrounded by a few small, close tables. It gave off a bright and energetic vibe and was crowded at 4 pm on a weekday. Upon first glance of the menu I was surprised a little to see only one beef pho option with steak, not the other cuts of meat I am accustomed to seeing in restaurants in say Los Angeles. But it didn't matter, the steak was the most flavorful tasting I've had in any pho ever. The noodles were cooked perfectly as well, I think they might have been the best prepared I've had as well. Overall the pho is presently a little different than traditional bowls I've eaten but it tasted very properly done with authentic broth. There were really tasty other items on the menu as well. I would like to try their salads too. Many fun drink choices as well including alcohol shakes like Funky Monkey. Very good service too and they were particularly friendly.

One of a kind Vietnamese eatery in Berlin that I've frequented a dozen times over the last 20 years. Wonton soup is a must order. Taste have remained consistently fantastic over the years and portion size has increased! Prompt and efficient service. Cool drinks. Highly recommend!

This is very popular and trendy Asian fusion place (mostly Vietnamese). We had to wait a while just to get one of the small tables inside. COVID regulations potentially added to the wait time too. All is well though. The food was worth the wait. Fresh and simple food, flavorful, in true Vietnamese style. Reminds me of few places in Saigon. Spring rolls were quite delicious. Pho was good too, but not outstanding. The prices were reasonable, service was fast and efficient.

This Vietnamese hot spot was packed even at 4:00 pm on a weekday! A sure sign of a popular place. Don't expect cozy comfortable intimate dining. Seating is tight. The chairs at the tables are simply heavy wooden boxes, and the space is painted orange with gold accents under bright lights. Servers speak German and English. A huge plus were the best fried spring rolls ever! They alone would get me back there. The beef Pho was excellent if not easy on the stomach afterwards. Or was it their chilli hot sauce? Watch out for that stuff. It's fire engine hot!

Authentic and delicious pho that relatively affordable. The ambiance is very young and loud and they are often busy, expect some wait during prime dinning hours. I like the food here but I don't think it's worth waiting for, go during odd dinning hours if you must try. The service is not the friendliest but think it's acceptable. They are welcoming towards foreigners.

I've never been to a more hip Vietnamese restaurant than this one! The decor is dark red all around with a slight clubby-feel. Do check out the bathrooms for cool art. The food menu is simple, just a handful appetizers and only two types of pho. The beef pho is prepared with thick, flat noodles rather than the thin, linguine-like noodles that I am used to seeing. The phos come in a small or a large, which I thought was rather odd because I definitely would not be able to finish a large but the small was a kid-size! The size aside, however, the broth was quite flavorful without any of the msg-induced water craving afterward. FYI, the hot chilis that MV offers are SPICY. I thought the spice-level would be akin to red chili flakes and decorated my soup with the proportional amount, which was a big mistake as my mouth was on fire.

Disclaimer: this review contains the opinion of a Vietnamese-American with the appropriate ethnic palate. On behalf of this restaurant as someone who is not affiliated in any way, I'd like to apologize to those of you who have dined here seeking to appease their Vietnamese cravings. This restaurant has disappointed you. To remedy the cold winter here, what better way to combat that runny nose than a bowl of Pho? Pulled out my trusted Yelp and saw the great reviews and next thing you know- Uber there! I know now that most of the great reviews were written by non-native tongues. In other words, go to Orange County (a hub of Los Angeles) first and experience what Pho is supposed to be by the hands of the largest Vietnamese population outside VN. Man I should've known as soon as we walked in that even with the small ethnic enclave of Asians in Berlin, why ain't there any Asians in here besides the workers?! The restaurant was busy with a party waiting outside, the assumption was that this has to be the best Vietnamese food in Berlin. I'm so disappointed in my people. We did not stay true to preserve our culture. Instead we watered it down and gave a compromised product to appease the clientele we serve. Look, I get it- who's cutting the check? But still, you didn't have to take it to levels of canned pasta almost. Instant Pho packages are on par here. The Pho tasted like a can of beef broth. There was no subtle taste of the important anise, any kind of traditional aroma, hell even the selection of meat that came with it was surprising! The entire restaurant was full with how do you say- Anglos. I knew there was no saving this bowl. Not honorable mentions of this meal: the worst spring rolls (if we can call it that) and goi (Viet salad) any one outside of Berlin could stomach.

There's quite a large selection of Vietnamese eateries in Berlin! My sister's co-worker had told us of this place when we asked for a dinner recommendation. Upon arrival we noticed a group of people waiting I be seated outside. We can already tell this place is going to be good because of that! Looking through the window, the host saw both y sis and I, came out and brought us in to be seated immediately! Wow! His Vietnamese radar must be on! :P Yes, we were given the stink looks by others still waiting in the old to be seated. No, I do not blame them. :P Walking into this bright coral restaurant, a giant photo of a young man with his arms crossed it portrayed on the wall. What stood out was his huge biceps. Is this a dinner and [gun] show kind of dining? :P I'm guessing this man in the photo is Monsieur Vuong. Everything else about the decorum of this restaurant was modern and quite chic....I like it! My sis and I came with one other co-worker, a German local who has never tried Vietnamese food! And because of that we ordered: CHA GIO - €5 Imperial rolls with shrimp that came with a wonderful dipping dish sauce. This was different in a great way than what I have back in the states. It comes with 4 deep fried crunch rolls that were delicious! A great appetizer to share! GOI WAN TAN - €4,60 I don't think I've ever had vietnamese dumplings before. The dumplings were buried under a wonder salad with sweet fish sauce. It was tasty! Something new for all of us! GLASS NOODLES SALAD - €7,20 Mixed with the same kind of salad this dish also came with glass noodles and tender white chicken strips that was quite lovely. SPECIAL OF THE DAY - CHICKEN CURRY - €7,60 I'm no fan of curry but this was good because the curry flavors were subtle. The sauce and rice and chicken mixed so well together. This dish had so much wonderful flavor! So happy we chose the evening special! As for drinks: SHAKE - THAM CAM DELUXE - €5,80 Banana, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and white rum. This ice blend drink was more of a banana piña colada smoothie with a strong rum mixture. It wasn't bad and was sweet. It had a great presentation: 2 straws going though a slice of grapefruit and mint leaves, placed over the cup like a lid. Tham Cam means tropical and I feel the succeed in both taste and presentation. CAFE SUA DA - €3,80 A tasty treat! This Vietnamese Iced coffee is sweet and rich from the condensed milk. What gives it it's liquidation is the melting of the ice to balance all the sweet and bitter coffee. I'm happy it tastes like how it should. I just never seen Vietnamese coffee served with a garnish mint lead :P While dining a photog ether from a local nightlife magazine took our photo and asked for our names. When we were done dining, on our way out the same charming hostess bid us farewell with our names. We were shocked he knew ok name but he may have gotten it from the magazine photographer. Such a friendly staff! I had a wonderful time here and would recommend this authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I am impressed!

Best bowl of pho I've had in my life thus far. When we came in on a chilly December afternoon, the restaurant was packed. We were seated immediately though, which was great. Our waitress quickly came by for our drink orders (beer and wine) while we perused the food menu. All of us got a bowl of pho. It was AMAZING. The broth was so flavorful, I didn't have to dump in my usual sriracha and hoisin sauce. I did add a little of the hot chili oil. Be careful - that stuff kicks! But it kicks so good! We all ate our butts off while being constantly amazed by how delicious the soup was. The group I was with asked if this was going to be a 5 star review, to which I told them our waitress could probably hit me in the face at this point and it would still be 5 stars. The food was that good. But the service was also great - probably some of the best service I've had in Germany. Prompt and polite. Can't complain. Overall, I would absolutely return here.

4 stars is fair... english menu included next to the german, Vietnamese girlfriend says she would come here in case she misses Pho Bo. Too loud for groups though and don't sit at the bar (hectic and minimal space) A slight feeling of getting stalked by the owner comes up (u will know what I mean when u are here - his face is everywhere!)

This is a close-to-5-star rating, where there was nothing to put a finger on with regards to the food and overall experience. Absolutely delicious, and we would come back again for sure. We had the chicken skewers and spring rolls for starters, and both went for the day's special as the main - a kind of red curry chicken, Vietnamese style. Sooooo delicious, tasty and loaded with fresh crispy greens. We ended up with the mango and mint cream, which was OK, if you like the texture of just cream. We had a beer and what was supposed to be a grape juice to go with the food, but we suspect that they mixed up the juice and gave a cocktail instead. They get 4 out of 5 because the seating was very crammed, and they served the main 5 minutes after we got the starters - a pleasant "I'm sorry" wasn't quite enough. The price tag was more than reasonable, so we absolutely recommend coming here.

Came here a few days ago at the recommendation of a friend. Sadly, his raving review did not match my expectations. I'm a pretty big foodie and a pho lover, so I've had my share of both good and bad pho. I ordered the cha gio and the pho bo (large). The cha gio (also known as egg rolls or imperial rolls) were made differently than how I'm used to (e.g. in a wonton or lumpia wrapper, filled with shredded carrots, vermicelli noodle, shredded shrimp bits), but was actually pretty tasty and good. Instead of using shredded shrimp, Monsieur Vuong uses whole pieces of shrimp with each of their cha gio. The use of whole shrimp gave the cha gio, while fried, a mix between a goi cuon (spring roll) and shrimp tempura feeling. It was a different concept that I actually enjoyed. While the cha gio was tasty, the pho bo was not and was a total let down. First off, no condiments are provided at the table (e.g. Sriracha, chili sauce or hoisin sauce). I asked for the usual chili sauce and hoisin sauce which I like to dip my meat in; sadly, they said they didn't have any but instead could provide their own chili "sauce", which was no more than chili peppers preserved in a vinegar/water concoction. Definitely not suitable for pho to dip your meat in! The pho broth flavor wise was pretty decent, it had the typical beef and herbs flavor. But two of the biggest turn offs about the pho broth was the amount of oil that was left in the broth and all the herbs that were used to boil the broth were left inside. Typically, when making you're supposed to use a strainer to strain out all the herbs that were used to make the broth. It was not visually appealing to see multiple star anise, red jujubes, floating around in my broth. You can't eat the star anise or red jujubes, so I'm not sure why they provide them to you in your bowl of pho here! These herbs should always be taken out when serving pho. The presentation definitely was messy and haphazard. Also, the amount of fat/oil left in the broth turned what I normally consider a fairly light and healthy meal into a heavy and decadent one. My mount was pooling with oil with every scoop of broth - not a good feeling. Lastly, I am used to having the side vegetables/garnishes to be provided with a bowl of pho. Here at Monsieur Vuong they don't provide that. Instead they mix in a few strands of bean sprouts in the broth, along with a bunch of cilantro and green onions. I asked my waiter if they had basil, which after showing what a picture of it was, was told that they did not offer basil. So, from my experiences of the pho here can be summed as an overly oily, messy broth filled that while has pretty good flavor, but cannot be enhanced or augmented with any condiments or side garnishes. Eating pho should be an individual, customizable experience, where you tailor it to your personal preferences and likings. However, Monsieur Vuong lacks this and was a big disappointment. If you're hungry for pho, I'd probably go else where! Not worth the hype in my books.

Delicious chicken and beef pho!!! Been to many Viet places in Berlin and this place got the best broth! I ordered the spring rolls and phos with ginger tea. Highly recommended to try the ginger tea since they use real chopped up ginger and it's very flavorful. Also, good to add honey to the ginger tea. The spring rolls are very different from the normal one because the spring roll has rice wrap vs regular wrap like most Viet places. Will definitely come back again!!!

This used to be our go to place in Berlin, our home restaurant if you will, so imagine our surprise when we arrived and were greeted not by the usual friendly Vietnamese folks that we know for years but by a locally sourced hostess that strongly believes in the power of lines. You know the kind, the type that wants to bring back the past, exactly right, and I'm referring to no other than, you guessed it, Seinfeld. You know what I'm talking about, that episode with the Soup fellow, what was the full name, it aludes me right now, but you know what I'm talking about. So she pushed us back to some sort of line forming outside not caring to tell us what the purpose of her amorphous creation was and where we found desperados grunting at us as if we were trying to cut the line to board the ferry that will bring them across the Styx. And so it was than after a slight altercation at the middle of our Soup line we decided to be restaurant homeless and wonder into the heart of our desolate Mitte experience. ** start (for shi**y line craftsmanship)

Amazing pho restaurant! This place is unique and put-together from the decor, atmosphere, menu, food, drinks, all to way to it's website! I had the chicken pho and honestly it was one of the best bowls I've ever had, and I eat A LOT of pho. But Monsieur Vuong creates a perfect balance of all the ingredients from the broth to the bean sprouts. I love having a little spice, so they brought a little bowl of chili. Not regular Siracha but homemade, fresh cut chili in oil. It goes a long way, so use with caution! But it is delicious! I shall return for more and bring friends for the experience!

We came here after the place we were originally going to go to turned out to be closed. All the seats outside were filled when we walked by, so we figured it would be pretty good. The interior was modern and nice, so I took it as a good sign. Our group of 6 was seated pretty much immediately, though we had to sit inside where it was kind of warm (not fun in the summer). I ordered a de chanh deluxe, a drink with lime juice, cane sugar, soda, and white rum. I also ordered a pho hanoi, or pho with chicken. When the drinks came, they looked amazing. After a couple sips of mine, I saw something floating under the limes...it turned out to be a small dead bug. No big, it happens. I ask the server for a replacement one, which she promptly serves. The second one seemed to be better as it had more rum in it...then I see ANOTHER dead bug, same type as before. Now not feeling so well, I tell the server again, and she seems shocked/horrified. She asks if I want a different drink, and I politely decline. Aside from that fiasco, the pho itself was strange too. The soup was pretty salty, and when we asked for the standard sriracha/hoisin sauce, our server said they didn't have any. No hoisin sauce with pho?? Well, it would've been way too salty the way the pho was anyway. The noodles were fine, but the chicken was dry and in over-proportion. I finished most of it anyway out of hunger...Oh yes, and the server didn't hear me order a small bowl so I got a big bowl of that stuff too ;( The service is friendly enough, and I don't blame them too much. This was definitely not your traditional pho, and I'm not sure if I enjoyed that. The drink situation just makes me sad because otherwise it was a good drink! At least they took it off the bill in the end. I probably wouldn't recommend you go here if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food.

I would call this the German interpretation of Pho. While they don't say it is authentic, it is quite disappointing for a tourist that stumbled across the place. The service didn't make up for the disappointing Pho Bo either. An extra star for the Mango Shake that I would buy again if given the chance.

Really disappointing to see one of my favorites spots in Berlin turned into an insufferable hype! Monsieur Vuong used to be my go to spot for no-frills Asian food, 15 years ago that is. Since then, the neighborhood as well as the rest of Berlin has seen a dramatic change and boom in restaurants specializing in Asian cuisine. Main reason I keep going back to MV is because of the fond memories, but food-wise there are many other (better) options around the area. Furthermore, every year I return, the crowd and the worsening service has made the experience extremely unpleasant. The last straw was the last visit, when surprisingly, there's wasn't a huge line or a crowd. Regardless, the manager who seated us was inhospitable and rude, and when we took upon ourselves to move from the bar area where she'd seated us to a table that became available, she literally screamed at us across the restaurant to move back. Her ranting was so inappropriate, for moment, I thought the table was on fire. Her behavior was totally unacceptable and neither is the hype!

It's impossible to mention wanting Asian food in Germany's capital city without being referred to Monsieur Vuong. Needing dinner (and something to occupy us in the last hours before the public launch of Yelp.de) we ventured here. I commented to my companions that the heat and the smell of incense and food transported me back to Southeast Asia (such good memories!) The fact that most patrons were speaking German helped remind me where we were though. As I think back on the experience we had at Monsieur Vuong a strange thing happens: I start hearing Shania Twain singing "That Don't Impress Me Much." And I think that pretty much sums up my feeling on dinner here. The spring rolls were just mushy and flavorless. I longed for cha gio but these tiny bits seemed more like deep fried rice wrapped around tail-on shrimp. The won ton special we ordered was marginally better but mostly because of the mango dipping sauce. I enjoyed my pho. However, this is a soup that one prepares to her own taste with the addition of garnishes like cilantro, basil, lime, bean sprouts and onions which arrive on a side plate. At Monsieur Vuong my steaming bowl arrived with these already in. I didn't like this. Perhaps my expectations for Vietnamese food in Germany are too high but my meal at Monsieur Vuong just didn't impress me much. Given the very small selection of choices, I'm surprised that each and every dish on the menu wasn't fantastic.

This is the best Vietnamese I have had in Berlin* because: Monsieur Vuong is the proliferation of creativity under constraints. Vietnamese restaurants are not going to taste authentic by the pure fact of being in Germany, so instead of creating diluted dishes as many restaurants do here, why not take liberty and turn it into a positive- create new concept / modern Vietnamese cuisine. (*withstanding my pending visit to Kanstrasse in Wilmersdorf to try Minh Trang.. can't wait!). I have tried Hamy's, I have tried many other viet stops in Berlin which were all... ok (usually it's some strange fusion of 'thai' and 'vietnamese', and usually they are missing all the core vietnamese dishes one would expect to order). I come from Los Angeles and New York, and my family came from Vietnam- I typically eat Vietnamese a few times a week, and I was very impressed by the dishes we ordered at Monsieur Vuong. -Cha Gio fried spring roll blew me out of the water. Shrimps batter fried in shrimp chip mix (I've never had this combination before!)- when combined with dipping sauce = heaven. -I tried the two soups on their menu: Chicken Pho, and the Camh Niem (think i got the spelling wrong). Yes these are modified flavors, but I like that they tasted cleaner, and the vegetables were more pure/modern choices but just as tasty. -Pho broth was good salty/savory flavor, and I was very impressed they used southern Chinese style chicken (tender, rubbery, with a specific taste I can't describe). -Camh Niem (or whatever it's called) was a glass noodle sweeter/savory soup with tofu and vegetables. Both were large bowls, and one is quite filling for a person. Perhaps they change their menu a lot (cause there are a lot of mixed reviews).. I admit I was hesitant to come here after having read that it was such a frequently recommended place and even a tourist trap. Rather, perhaps this is The Meatball Shop of Berlin!! Great decor and food for the price range (our bill for two was 12 € / person), and a good destination dinner venue.. good place to take someone out to. Berliners are lucky- if only we had this in New York!!

I can see why this place is popular. The food is reasonably priced and tastes pretty good/ok. But the vibe and the ambience is sooooo Mitte lol super cool and nice place to hang out with friends while enjoying decent food without breaking your wallet. I am by no means an expert on pho but my phobo (small) tastes pretty good. The broth was ok and the beef was good. The chicken skewer (appetizer) was a bit too dry and expensive. Plus the sauce was just a weird combo of peanut and something way too sweet

This place was delicious! As it was busy, we were lucky to find two seats at the counter. We could see the chefs at work, but it did get pretty steamy in there during the meal. We shared the summer rolls as a starter, and I had the chicken satay special as a meal. Make sure you check the chalk board inside for these tasty dishes! I'm always grateful for spice/heat in a dish in Berlin, and this place had it! The food was fresh, quickly prepared, and affordable (10- 14€/dish). There is a solid amount of good Vietnamese all over Berlin, but if you're in the area, you should check this place out.

Wow! This place looked touristy so I wasn't sure how good it would be, but one of the best phos I've had! Prices were average. The menu wasn't large but I came looking for pho anyway. They have fancy drink offerings (I got this mango iced tea with lychee although I don't think it had lychee in it). Check the board for some specials or extra options (might need a German translation though). Very clean bathroom, polite service, takes card, and a warm atmosphere.

Came here last month with a group on the recommendations of my friend, Ally, who probably didn't realise that I grew up eating Vietnamese food regularly in one of its American meccas, Houston (other being San Jose and Orange County). Ally loves this place because the ingredients are fresh and that they had a rotating menu of entrees. I knew I was in fusion trouble when I couldn't recognise any of the dishes from their Vietnamese name and the descriptions were in German. So I decided to go with the green curry (cari xanh). A bed of chicken curry (that was more Thai than Vietnamese) over a bed of rice. Except the dish came pregarnished with tons of herbs, mints, bean sprouts, and (later to my dismay) peanuts which took me by surprise since I am so used to having them on the side. It may be due to the cramped tight tables that I wasn't given the luxury to pick and choose. If I had known it was going to be served that way, I would have made my order specific so I could avoid the crap I was allergic to. Oh as for the food, yeah it's fresh but that should be par for the course based on my standards. The person whose review compared this to the hip restaurants you find in NYC, you can take that hip crap and shove it because NYC is one of the crappier places to eat Vietnamese food. I wonder who Monsieur Vuong is because there's a huge photo of him, arms folded like Mr. Clean, on the wall inside from floor to ceiling. Seriously, go to the restaurant website and check it out. If he is the owner/chef, that is some ego to make your waiters wear uniforms that display that image. If he is someone from the family that died and is being honoured post-mortem, it's still tacky.

Love this place, I've been to Berlin twice and each time I make it a point to go there. My recommendation is to get in early as it gets busy. The staff will do there best to get you in as soon as possible. Loved the place and the service.

In general the food is not too bad, but I had the worst experience ever with them recently. I ordered some food via Deliveroo and my Cha Tom Com had a SCREW hidden in it. I was just lucky not to swallow it, this is unacceptable and I would caution everyone going there. The high volume of customers might have impacted their food preparation standards...

The place is loud is super hectic, especially the bar area. If you don't want to stand in the line for long, you can sit at the bar but it is super loud and you will have limited space. Service is fast but don't expect a friendly service. The food is fresh and tasty but not authentic. Something common with Vietnamese food in Berlin.

The menu is simple, the service was great, the prices are very good, the food is fresh and the restaurant is comfortable. Yes, it's not a traditional Vietnamese food but its definitely a great twist. It's a bit far from the our hotel, but im glad we forced our tired feet to go to this place. Highly recommended.

I won't lie. I loved this place. I felt like I was smacked right into an episode of Sex and the City season 5 where Carrie had yet again broken up with Mr Big and was out for a fun night with her girls. The food served at Monsieur Vuong is probably one of, if not the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. It's authentic, flavorful and beautifully plated. We had the spring rolls for starters, and as a Shanghai-born person who's had a few spring rolls in her life, I will gladly hand over the spring roll crown to Monsieur Vuong. They were amazing! I was almost scared to try my main course after that experience. However, my dumplings and my freshly squeezed mango juice for dessert were fantastic too. I highly recommend having dinner at this place if you're ever in Berlin. If you're not interested in Asian food, then just stop by for the cool and New-York feel interior decor. It will lighten up your mood.

The best Vietnamese food I've ever had. We had the Pho Ga, Pho Bo, fried spring rolls & ice gold beers. Delicious!!! 5 stars! Must try in Berlin. This place is pretty hip, highly recommended for a fun night out for couples or friends.

Monsieur Vuong's has a nice atmosphere and all that, no doubt. However, there are other Vietnamese restaurants that serve much better food -at least in terms of quality- for the same prices or even less. If you want the Berlin-Mitte feel, go for it. If you want authentic Vietnamese cuisine at a superb level for a decent price go to AnNam in Knaakstr. 24 -- it's run by Monsieur Vuong's former head chef. Hope I won't be censored for mentioning a competitor, but this is my honest opinion.

Place is annoyingly crowded so you need to be patient each time, however food you get is worth it! I found service very rapid and all the waiters were kind and helpful. I'm in love with their honey pork and smoothies.

Really cool ambience inside and really nice service. We felt right at home. We both got the Pho Bo, which came with fresh chilis and limes. The chilis can get hot if you are not used to them. The beef broth is very good, you can even taste hints of cinnamon which is not something that is often seen in pho broths. The downside was that portioning was rather small (especially since we had ordered the larger option). We've had better, and the portions could be bigger. But we are not so smug as to claim it is not good pho. This is some good pho.

Food is truly excellent. I had glass noodles as a small bowl and beet salad. Both were excellent. Went great with beer. High demand leads to big crowds. Staff very friendly but paying the bill takes forever. An institution in Berlin.

Super great food and cocktails!! Had the beef pho and chicken skewers. The pho was very aromatic and had a lot of nuances to it, very tasty! The chicken skewers were amazing as well. And the drinks were fun and delicious. It was very packed when we got there, but we were seated very quickly (although their system for waiting to be seated isn't very good...). Would definitely recommend and go again next time I'm in Berlin.

Was recommended this restaurant from a friend and I tried it while visiting Berlin. It was definitely a highlight of my trip. The chicken pho was absolutely outstanding. We have decent Vietnamese cuisine in Los Angeles, but this place was one of the best I've had. The mixed drinks were very delicious as well. As a bonus, they take credit cards here (unusual for Berlin) and the service was very prompt. I'd be back for sure if I ever find myself in Berlin again.

I went here on a trip to Berlin. All the locals recommended it to me. The spring rolls are sehr lecker. Go here if you're visiting Berlin. I'm sure that if you live in Berlin, you already know about Monsieur Vuong.

Who knew my first stop in a German city would be for Vietnamese food. But after reading so many positive reviews AND seeing recommendations from various online guides, I just had to make a stop here. Monsieur Vuong is a handsome little man. At least I think that's probably what he believes because his pictures are plastered on the wall and menus. LOL Anyhow, jokes aside this man is serious about his Pho. At first there was a shock of the cost of a lowly bowl of pho in this town. Not quite what I am accustomed to considering back home in Canada, this is borderline cheap fast food. Then it was the awe of the taste and aroma. That freshness hits you like a bag of ice when it's 40 Celsius outside. The meat is freshly cut and of good quality. The broth is perhaps one of the richest pho broths I have ever witnessed. Very multi-dimensional, deep and beefy with loads and loads of herbs and spices to almost overwhelm your taste buds. The chicken pho tastes distinctively different than the beef and shows you that there's great care taken into crafting these dishes. When in Berlin you should eat Vietnamese food with every opportunity. It still hasn't sunk in yet but the Vietnamese Germans are way better at this food game than back home in Canada and we are quite good already.

100% fantastic . Bomb ass food. Tried won ton soup and also a glass noodle salad with tofu. Also some sort of spring roll dish. Everything had such good flavor. Can't wait to go back.

Another good East-Berlin Vietnamese food option. The nc chanh mui is excellent and the glass noodle salad mekong is as good as the Houston viet-town staples I grew up with.
