Fantastic food - Edit
Food was delicious but service wasn’t so great. I asked for water 3 times and never received it. I ordered the number 21 as other reviewers have mentioned it’s great. Also ordered some fresh rolls. Number 21 was a curry noodle soup. It was absolutely fantastic and I would certainly order it again.

The food here is really good, one of the best Vietnamese place I tried. As always in Berlin portions are huge. I like the fact this place still looks like the old Berlin, a bit old. For me it's a pro.
Read morePros: Food is really the best., I like the not very fancy place.
Cons: Difficult communication.

Good, affordable, slow service - Edit
The restaurant seemed severly understaffed, we waited about 45 minutes before anyone even took our order and the guy was on the phone this whole time. However, when the food came, it was really good, big portions and very cheap. So go there if you're not in a hurry!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Good food, Super affordable

Super Essen - Edit
Das Essen ist immer sehr lecker. Das meiste ist vegan und bestimmte Gerichte, wie das Curry, können vegan zubereitet werden. Meine Highlights sind die Vietnamesischen Pfannkuchen und die Reisnudeln mit Tofu und Gemüse!

Delicious Vietnamese Specialities - Edit
I had fresh Summerrolls with a peanut dip, a spicy Pho and Che Bi, sticky rice mixed with pumpkin in coconut cream and sesame. The Entrée and Main were full of fresh veggies and the dessert was interesting and very tasty.
Read moreMost of the items on the menu were vegan, so we had a huge number of options to chose from.

Amazing food! - Edit
Amaaazing food. Everything tastes great. Can hardly believe that they don’t use msg. Recommend the tofu bags and the salad. Service is not particularly friendly, though. Would still revisit and recommend to anyone!

If you like tofu, noodles and mushrooms in a nice creamy coconut milk and lemongras broth: go for no 21!
