What a pleasant surprise to find healthy Vietnamese food with friendly service. Everything is made to order in the kitchen, so you may need to wait a few minutes. No microwaved or reheated frozen food here. I had a rice noodle dish with delicious tofu, wrapped in some sort of leaf and very well seasoned. Served with a light vinaigrette, fresh Thai basil, lettuce and topped with crushed peanuts, awesome freshness for 6.90 EUR. Paired with hot ginger tea (they brew it with actual chunks of fresh ginger), the perfect lunch on a cold Berlin day.

Is this authentic pho? No. But, it's the closest we've found so far, and for that we were pleasantly surprised. Having sriracha, fish sauce and hot chili peppers as condiments was a good sign that this pho would be alright. It didn't have Thai basil or bean sprouts, the noodles were wrong, and they added lemon grass, all of which take something away from the authenticity. However, the taste of star anise was there, which we found missing at a restaurant previously. Overall, for a fast food version, this was pretty decent and could satisfy your pho craving.

A large population of Germans cannot tolerate spicy dishes so If you enjoy a good spicy dinner just ask them to provide you a little extra minced chilly on the side to experience the full experience of fine Vietnamese dining. Whatever you order, the chef has a golden touch, which I think makes it very authentic.  Next time I come back to Berlin, I will be dining here again. You can not go wrong spending your money here!!!! When you come here don't forget to ask for Hoang Anh, he is very professional and his English is excellent. Don't forget to tip these guys, either. The rest of the wait staff are friendly as well and make this place a great restaurant to enjoy good food and have a great time.

I read that it is a long wait to get in but I was able to walk right in and sit at the bar. My server was so happy and laughing she made things so comfortable. She put up with my poor Vietnamese language efforts especially since I am better in Tien Viet than in German. I ordered chicken pho and a beer. She laughed so hard when I ordered tiger beer and I'm still wondering why. Possibly because Germany is famous for good beer but I ordered the popular Asian brew. The Hanoi pho came out in seconds not minutes and the broth was amazing. I detected some lemongrass in it. There was not a pile of leaves to add to it as everything it needed to taste good was already there. The interior decoration was very nice and classy. I hope to return.

The menu has been updated since our last visit in 2019, but still offers a range of dishes which can be ordered with beef, chicken, prawns or tofu, giving vegetarians a decent choice (though note that some dishes have prawns or fish sauce added). Some of the tofu options are vegan - just ask to make sure they don't add egg. Prices remain very reasonable - under €25 for two courses and a drink.

The wanton soup had fried dumplings instead of boiled which surprised me. The taste was great, but the soup was so oily as a result. You can see the layer of oil circling in the soup. If that's the secret to great taste, then sign me up. For my entree, I had ca bung, an eggplant tofu dish with tumeric and plaintains. Never had anything like this before. Most of the vegetarian vietnamese restaurants in Houston focus on meat analogs so I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted good but the dish played havoc on the digestive system later with the gas. It could have been the oily soup instead but I blame the novel dish with the soybeans.
