You would think the best food in Berlin would be German food, right? Welp, surprisingly, it's…read moreVietnamese food. Who would have guessed?.... Chay Viet is one of the best Viet places I've ever been to. Better than any Viet restaurant in America in California or Florida, trust me on this one. They have a very wide selection of different dishes, some that will surprise you. The interesting thing is that everything on the menu is vegetarian. If you're someone who fears the veggie, don't fret. Out of the dishes I tried, everything is completely edible, very wholesome, and delicious! They create the perfect harmony between making their food rich in flavor, but light enough where it still doesn't overpower you. Everything also comes in a pretty large portion too. I would suggest getting the Mi Quang - my favorite hands down. I would HIGHLY recommend stopping by here if you're in Berlin!

I was looking for a Vietnamese restaurant in Berlin to warm up with a bowl of chicken pho when I…read morecame across Chay Viet on Yelp and it was around the corner from our apartment in Mitte. The reviews were more than positive so I went and sat down and looked at the menu. That's when I noticed it was a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant. I was fixated on chicken pho and was about to leave, when I thought the best of it and decided to stay and try it out. I ordered the Mi Quang, a spicy soup with mushrooms and tofu, and lo and behold, if it wasn't one of the best soups I've ever tasted! I was so happy that I decided to be adventurous! I was a little less adventurous the rest of the week, as I ordered the same soup three additional times as I couldn't get enough of it! Run - don't walk - to get the Mi Quang!

This is the first time I've tried cha gio; I don't think I've ever seen this in the States before…read more 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

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.

I wish there was more of it. I also thought it was weird that it came with kimchi as a side. As a main, I had the Bun Bò Nam Bộ (fried beef with rice noodles). This also came with kimchi, but what I think it needs is fish sauce. I enjoyed the beef though. Other dishes on their menu included Thai curry and Japanese udon. I guess it's not strictly Vietnamese cuisine here.

Basically it's veggies and thin sliced seitan swimming in an excessive pool of sweet and sour sauce. Flavor and presentation were both lacking. Disappointment comes cheap at €10.5 but on the bright side you do get a drink or appetizer with the entree. Cannot recommend.

Not sure about the rice dishes. We tried to noodle dishes. The pho was very disappointing and far away from what you'd consider as pho. Even though this place offers vegan dishes, it almost tasted like a veggie broth. The miso soup had a sweet taste and lacked in miso paste. The noodles reminded us of instant noodles and overall we were left quite disappointed given the good ratings for this place. None of the 3 dishes we'd order again

The vegan pho with vegan duck and glass noodles was incredible tasty. The soup was amazing, slight taste of sweetness, good portion even if the vegan duck for an amazing price.

If you are looking for great Vietnamese food. This is you spot! Price value ratio is unbeatable really! And even if you are vegan you'll be a happy customer. If you care about the experience and cosyness. Skip this place. Taste wise I can confidently say it's one of the best here in Prenzlauer Berg so far and we have tried many spots with average to mediocre pho soup. Note they ONLY ACCEPT CASH!
