It's a good thing that the international metropolis of Berlin is also home to the culinary cultures of the world. Vietnamese restaurants are a particular flavour highlight. We have 11 places for you that you should definitely not miss.
Tip 1: Madame Ngo une Brasserie Hanoi
The Madame Ngo restaurant in the heart of Charlottenburg invites you on a culinary journey to Vietnam. In a modern and stylish ambience - the perfect interplay of Saigon and modern Berlin - the chef and owner Anh Thu Ngo combines the traditional Vietnamese dishes of her homeland with contemporary accents. The menu ranges from classic pho and bun bo hue to bun cha and banh xeo - all of which delight with authentic flavours. A real gem in Kantstraße.
Where: Kantstraße 30, Charlottenburg
When: Monday to Saturday 12 - 16:30 and 18 - 22, Sunday 12 -16:30 and 18 - 21:30 pm
Tip 2: Good Morning, Vietnam
The location alone of Good Morning, Vietnam, named after the US blockbuster, is a good reason to pay the restaurant a visit: Located in a Berlin backyard in Bergmannstraße, it extends over two floors - one of which is a green roof terrace. An attractive place for a small lunchtime snack while strolling through the Bergmann neighbourhood, or for an extended dinner. The restaurant is 100 per cent vegan, but that doesn't mean any restrictions on the varied menu. Flavour and animal welfare simply go hand in hand here!
Where: Bergmannstraße 102, Kreuzberg
When: Daily 12 - 11 pm
Tip 3: Monsieur Vuong
Monsieur Vuong is a Berlin institution for Vietnamese cuisine. Because he missed the local cuisine, owner Mr Vuong founded the restaurant in 1999. Since then, what is now almost the oldest Vietnamese restaurant in Berlin has been delighting diners with flavoursome dishes prepared fresh every day - and after 25 years it is still a family business. The menu is small, changes regularly and offers authentic specialities without glutamate. You can enjoy fast, friendly service in a colourful atmosphere - perfect for anyone looking for a culinary Vietnam highlight in Mitte.
Where: Alte Schönhauser Straße 46, Mitte
When: Daily 12 - 10 pm, Friday and Saturday until 10:30 pm
Tip 4: Ryong
The Ryong offers modern Vietnamese cuisine with an urban flair. Guests can expect a culinary experience with creative vegetarian dishes that impress with their fresh ingredients and intense flavours. From the pasta and seitan to the vegan condensed milk, everything here is homemade. The pho and bao bun burgers in particular are absolute highlights. Accompanied by naturally cloudy sake and delicious cocktails, your visit will be a small celebration. The cosy ambience and warm service make Ryong a real insider tip in the Berlin gastronomy scene.
Where: Torstraße 59, Mitte
When: Monday to Thursday 12 - 10 pm, Friday until 10:30 pm, Saturday 5 - 10:30 pm
More vegan and vegetarian cuisine
Tip 5: Mamas Banh
It doesn't get much heartier than Mamas Banh, because this small Vietnamese restaurant in Prenzlauer Berg is a real family business. It is run by Mum Thi Hoa and her sons Dai Quy and Dai Cuong. The small family has ancient Laotian cooking secrets and now conjures up homemade noodles and tapas in their own restaurant, combining the diversity of Vietnamese cuisine with Laotian influences. The vegetarian banh bao and spicy ua sausages in particular are a must-try. An authentic experience with heart and tradition.
Where: Hufelandstraße 31, Prenzlauer Berg

Tip 6: Hoa Rong
The name of the restaurant goes back to a well-known Vietnamese children's tale, in which a carp overcomes all obstacles, finally swims upstream into the sky and turns into a dragon. This fairy-tale atmosphere is not only created by the dragon sculptures on the walls at Hua Rong, but also by the steaming plates and bowls served at round tables. The Vietnamese dishes you can dine on here are inspired by the culinary tradition of the Sapa mountain region and are characterised by their special flavourful sophistication.
Where: Georgenstraße 25, Mitte
When: Monday to Friday 11:30am - 11pm, Saturday and Sunday 1pm - 11pm
Tip 7: Maison Umami
Umami is considered the fifth flavour and means delicious in Japanese. So the term is absolutely right in the name of the Vietnamese restaurant Maison Umami in Kreuzberg. With lots of wood, countless lanterns and a menu that ranges from sumptuously filled summer rolls to creative silken tofu, you can see for yourself. With fair prices and a surprisingly varied dessert selection, Maison Umami sets new standards in gastronomy without compromising on freshness and quality. A friendly restaurant with a menu that delights.
Where: Schlesische Straße 5, Kreuzberg
When: Daily 12 noon - midnight
Tip 8: Miss Saigon
Miss Saigon will make you feel right at home. The restaurant is tucked away in a yellow Kreuzberg corner building under a wide awning and appears quite simple at first glance - but appearances are deceptive. As soon as you hold the menu in your hands, it's hard to choose between all the South Vietnamese delicacies. You will also find many vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. Miss Saigon is the secret favourite of Kreuzberg locals and has more than earned this status.
Where: Skalitzer Straße 38, Kreuzberg
When: Daily from 12 noon
Tip 9: Thanh Nam
Tanh Nam has something for every taste, as the menu is so varied that it even crosses national borders. In addition to traditional Vietnamese dishes, you can also enjoy Japanese sushi here - it goes without saying that high-quality fish is used in the preparation. The chefs also ensure that there are always vegetarian alternatives to the classics. Tanh Nam is therefore the perfect place for groups with differing culinary tastes.
Where: Alfred-Kowalke-Straße 38, Lichtenberg
When: Monday to Thursday 11am - 10pm, Friday to Sunday 11am - 11pm
Tip 10: Ben Thanh
The Ben Thanh brings the flair of the lively Saigon neighbourhood of the same name to Berlin. Known for its delicious Vietnamese cuisine, the restaurant offers crispy duck, fresh sushi and delicious tofu - a menu inspired by the flavours of the famous Saigon market. Unlike its Saigon counterpart, the restaurant does not serve food around the clock, but the Vietnamese specialities taste just as good. With its fair prices, Ben Thanh is a must for foodies in Berlin.
Where: Kantstraße 78, Charlottenburg
When: Daily 12 - 22:30
Tip 11: Con Tho
Con Tho an der Hasenheide not only impresses with its pun - thỏ means hare in Vietnamese - but also with its innovative fusion cuisine. Traditional Vietnamese dishes are combined with regional ingredients and served in cozy rooms with bamboo decorations. We particularly recommend the extraordinary starters such as the lemongrass tofu and the green crêpes. A culinary experience that should definitely be on the agenda when you visit Hasenheide.
Where: Hasenheide 16, Kreuzberg
When: Monday and Tuesday 6pm - 11pm, Wednesday to Sunday 12pm - 11pm
