This hole-in-the-wall is a beloved part of the restaurant scene in Berlin, if the long lines…read more(pre-Covid) I've waited in are anything to go by. (I once saw a person pick up their food and promptly enter the apartment building right next door, and envy him for having this place as a neighbor.) I literally stumbled upon Lon Men's for the first time when I was staying at a hotel a few blocks away on Uhlandstraße and made the quick decision to grab an early lunch there. (Pro tip when life returns to normal: this place gets crowded for lunch or dinner, so swing by during the off-peak hours if you're eating in.) Frigid Berlin winter or not, anything Lon Men's serves up will warm your heart right up. The first time I ate in, I was left in such a cozy food coma that I accidentally left my bag behind... only for the server to quickly rush out to return it to me just mere seconds after I walked out the door. How's that for friendly and attentive service, like previous Yelp reviews have mentioned? And yes, as a SF native living in Berlin, sometimes I did crave comfort food other than döner... the sautéd duck with noodles and vegetable hit the spot for those moments of homesickness.

Curiosity got the better of us and we stopped by an Asian restaurant (Taiwanese) to be exact to try…read morehow Taiwanese food was interpreted in Germany. The proprietor is a boss-looking Taiwanese guy who speaks Chinese, English, German and presumably more. Food was served hot and fast -- we got dim sum, hot oil wontons, crispy duck noodle soup and some tea. Dim sum and wontons were honestly nothing special (the shrimp dumplings had chicken filling combined with the shrimp, which was a big miss in my opinion) but the crispy duck was quite tasty and definitely the highlight of the meal. It's clear that they've had to make modifications to accommodate the mostly German clientele that they serve. Hence, not the most authentic of places but pretty good food nonetheless. If I wanted to try Asian food in Berlin again, I'd probably go to Goji or maybe one of the handpulled noodle restaurants.

One of my favourite retaurants in Berlin. It's not shabby, not pricey and so authentic that the…read morewaiter is speaking Chinese with me. (Sadly I can't reply in Chinese) I often come here for the chicken feet. (Leave me alone I love them ok?) Beside that they have great lunch deals which go from 12:00 - 16:00 and cost about 6-7€. I can highly recommend the fried rice or the noodlepots. Latter are HUGE and so so good. You get a tablet with a bowl of broth, a bowl with rice noodles and several small plates with toppings suchs as mushrooms, seaweed or walnuts. I usually have the vegetarian one with a lot of veggies but the ones with meat looked pretty good as well. This place is compared to other chinese restaurants like "Good Friends" (which is close by) more quiet and elegant. The interior looks high class- almost posh and the restaurant owner is super nice. I think that's a place where you can drop by with your parents are some special date. All in all a great place!

Been here in Germany for five months now and I've been craving Vietnamese food. There are quite a…read morefew Vietnamese restaurant in Berlin but I was only able to try this one since I was only there for two days. I had Pho soup, sushi and my friend had this stir fry dish. The taste was true to its flavors. And the prices were low. We got the sushi special but I think on a regular basis they are expensive. The place was very casual, small and almost felt like a fast food place. Nonetheless I would go back here for Pho.

Berlin's Vietnamese mad!!!…read more It wasn't exactly an enthusiastic "yeah" when Vietnamese was mentioned. I had more robust food on my mind, but decided to go with the flow. Berlin has an Asian eatery or five dressing its Straßen and Kantstr is no different. It was busy, you'd expect that on Reunification day - a public holiday here in Germany, but a table was found in this clean and welcoming restaurant. So the menus were perused, our orders placed and we sat back and waited for our taste buds to be thrilled. It's pretty cheap here and my 5 pork skewers with rice noodles and crisp salad was only €6.50 and R's tofu with rice was only €5. We opted for Vietnamese spring rolls (3 types - prawn, pork and veg with a chilli & fish sauce) to start and all 3 dishes were more than edible, although I heard from over the table that the tofu dish was a little too sweet. Our menus were in German, but I believe there are English menus available. In all this place is pretty good, but I wouldn't hurry back, but maybe that's because I'm not Vietnamese food mad :-/

I have eaten so many Vietnamese dishes in the past months that I feel that my standard of…read moreVietnamese food is pretty high now. I have read all the reviews on here but have a hard time understanding the positive reviews. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. The food is truly served fast - as the name "fastfood" indicates. The juices are great and creative but the food is so bland and for being so bland the prices are not justified. I had a chicken pho and it was just not tasty and the chicken actually tasted pretty disgusting. I had a hard time finishing the pho. I also enjoy summer rolls but they were dry and the taste of them were also not enjoyable or at least not the way I am used to it. I believe that it is mass produced and not cooked with "love". I much rather prefer other places and will not return. I also like places that provide options for children. This place has only large portions, which means that children are not able to get a small kids portion. Hence, we ordered an extra bowl for our daughter, so we could share our pho with her. But the waiter, despite not being busy at all, forgot that we ordered an extra bowl with our order and had to be reminded. Not a big deal but also a reason why I chose to give it a total of 3 stars only.
