Bao Vietnamese Cooking in Berlin

Absolutely delicious, highly recommended!! We spontaneously decided to eat here for the first time. Everything was very good and clean! The service was incredibly friendly! We'll definitely be back.

The food was ok - we didn't find it unusual.

The food was the best Vietnamese food I've ever eaten. The tables are relatively close together, which is too small for a cozy evening with privacy. The prices are very reasonable.

Super delicious. Better than any other Vietnamese restaurant. Service so friendly.

A cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Excellent service: inquires, remembers special requests, very tasty food, reasonable prices.

The best Vietnamese restaurant I know of in Berlin/Brandenburg right now. Super friendly service and incredibly delicious food. Highly recommended!

Super delicious and extremely friendly, attentive service.

Very friendly to families and also the food was great 😊

Very tasty, very friendly, lovely atmosphere. I'd love to come back!

The food was really NOT good. The spring rolls tasted of oil. And unfortunately, no fresh ingredients.

BAO Vietnamese Cooking stands for fresh, aromatic cuisine without frills – ideal for a quick everyday lunch or a relaxed dinner in the neighborhood. On the menu: Pho soups with a clear, rich broth, crispy spring rolls, bowls, and wok dishes; everything is prepared quickly without compromising on quality. The dining room is simple, clean, and functional – just right when it gets busy at lunchtime. Particularly positive: friendly, prompt service, flexible adjustments (e.g., spicier/less spicy), and fair prices. Thanks to its location at Hindenburgdamm 57a, BAO is easily accessible; many regulars from the neighborhood ensure a constant flow, guaranteeing freshness. My tip: share Pho Bo and a small appetizer – a quick, well-rounded neighborhood classic that always works. For me, this is a clear 5-star address in 12203 for Vietnamese cuisine if you want reliable and delicious food.

The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, making you feel immediately welcome. The service was quick and attentive. I really enjoyed everything – it was fantastic all around! Highly recommended, I'd love to come back.

A very nice Vietnamese restaurant. A very pleasant atmosphere, very friendly staff, and reasonable prices. The selection of food and drinks is excellent. Suitable for vegetarians. I highly recommend it, and I will be back. Reservations are recommended.

There are some delicious vegetarian options here. The spice level indication is very helpful and appropriate (...the "very spicy" dishes are really spicy :D). For dessert, there was a delicious exotic shake, which I can also highly recommend. The staff is very attentive and very friendly. Overall, a great atmosphere, and you definitely have to come back here!

Everything was delicious, I highly recommend it! 🔥

The soup was surprisingly delicious, and the main course was also very tasty. Definitely an unbeatable value. The service was also first-class.

Whether you eat in or have it delivered, the quality is always consistent. Super delicious. A real hidden gem in Steglitz. The staff is always very helpful and courteous.

Great food, consistently top-notch service, even after multiple visits. The dishes are always beautifully presented. I also really like the selection. They also offer fresh house lemonades. ☺️

Unfortunately, the food tasted really bad, and the prices were very high. It was the worst Vietnamese food I’ve had in Berlin. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Food was ok, but way too expensive for Vietnamese.

We've enjoyed coming here for years. It's super delicious and the service is very attentive and friendly.

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine! This place offers truly authentic, flavorful Vietnamese cooking straight from the heart, all within a welcoming, family-style atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our supper here — it's probably the best Asian restaurant we've dined at so far. After a long journey, we were tired and hungry, and they seated us right away. The food was the perfect hot, delicious meal for weary travelers. Highly recommended for anyone craving comforting, home-style Vietnamese food.

Oh it was so good that I'll go there every time I visit Berlin. Close to botanical garden, which makes it a perfect combo for a date

Best service, best food, in my opinion one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in all of Berlin!

This was by far the best meal in Berlin. Fresh and incredibly delicious! Super friendly service. Unassuming from the outside, but that doesn't matter once you're inside. Small and perfectly formed. We'll be back when we're in Berlin!

Delicious food & excellent service 👌. I've eaten here several times and it was a very pleasant experience every time. My favourite is no. 22

Definitely go. The food and service are excellent, and everyone is super nice.

The food and the service are absolutely recommendable

I took my boyfriend there for lunch and were genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a beautiful balance between modern design and cozy charm. The menu offers a great mix of traditional vietnamese dishes and modern creations. Everything freshly prepared, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. You can really taste the care and passion in every bite.🥢 Service was super friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel even more special. Definitely a place we’ll come back to. Perfect for anyone who appreciates honest, high-quality food with heart.🎐

My favorite restaurant! Wonderful Vietnamese cuisine, great ambiance, and very friendly service

Very fresh, tasty and authentic food, very friendly and attentive service.

I love it! My favorite restaurant. I always get the 28 and a homemade lemonade. All the staff are super friendly, and the two owners are very welcoming. Everything is fresh and delicious—and it's cozy and small. The music selection is always a hit.

Fantastic food and great service! The numerous good reviews speak for themselves!! Everything is just right at Bao – fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, a friendly team, and very fast service. The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere with stylish decor. An absolutely wonderful visit; I'll definitely be back!

Incredible! There is an opportunity to eat at a reduced price at lunch, the portions are huge, the dishes are very tasty! We were served excellently and constantly asked if we liked everything. I ate the most delicious duck in my life here! We will come back again❤️🥰😍

Everything tasted great! I always eat curry with duck! Wow!

Absolutely!!! The food deserves 100 stars!

Highly recommended 👍🏼😊 I always really enjoy coming here, a real highlight ✨ Super delicious food and very friendly staff. The homemade drinks are extremely delicious! We recommend reserving a table before your visit 😃

The Bao restaurant on Hindenburgdamm is a true gem for lovers of Asian cuisine. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a modern, inviting ambiance that strikes a perfect balance between tradition and contemporary design. The friendly staff welcomes guests with a smile and contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. The menu is carefully curated and offers a variety of authentic Asian delicacies, especially Chinese cuisine. The famous bao buns are an absolute must—they are fluffy, fresh, and filled with a delicious selection of meat and vegetarian options. The flavors are perfectly balanced, offering a taste experience that is both subtle and intense. The house specialty, the "Char Siu Bao," deserves special mention. It is filled with perfectly marinated pork that melts in the mouth, tender and juicy. Vegetarian options are also not to be neglected, offering interesting combinations such as tofu with a delicious peanut sauce. The drinks menu includes a selection of sophisticated cocktails and traditional Asian teas that perfectly complement the dishes. The value for money is more than fair, especially considering the high quality of the food. Another plus point is the location on Hindenburgdamm, which is easily accessible for both locals and visitors. The restaurant's cleanliness and hygiene are also of a high standard. In summary, Restaurant Bao on Hindenburgdamm is an absolute must for anyone who loves Asian cuisine or simply wants to try something new. With its delicious selection, friendly service, and appealing ambiance, it clearly stands out from other restaurants. I highly recommend it and am already looking forward to my next visit!

Food was so delicious and good looking. Service was awesome. Prices are just fair. Excellent gourmet quality 👌

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Berlin

Highly recommended, super tasty and nice team. There were three of us there and everyone was happy and full.

Absolutely fantastic 🤩 So tasty and friendly and attentive 👍🏻 Planned for the next short trip to Berlin 😉

Very, very good Vietnamese, very cozy, few tables, always full, so be sure to reserve in good time

So delicious. Super nice service and great atmosphere!

Nothing to complain about, it's a great address that my Berlin family recommended to me. Impeccable and diligent service. The staff is friendly. I will definitely return there during my next stay in the German capital.

Exceptionally good Asian cross-over cuisine, fast delivery, nice in-house service

Friendly service and the food tasted good. Unfortunately the guest room is a bit small, you sit close together.

The surroundings and ambiance are wonderful. I ordered beef rice noodles, which tasted five stars and were prepared in a very tasty way. The service was good. Drinks are also excellent; I had lychee juice and ginger tea and was quite pleased. Recommended.

Best soup on this side of city!

Very good food, friendly service.

Update March 2025: Everything stays the same😁Quality, service, ambience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We always enjoy being here. The kitchen impresses with its consistently high quality.

Great selection of excellent dishes, top service and an appealing ambience. 💯 Recommendation

We have known about the restaurant since 2018 and we have to say that it has ALWAYS been delicious since 2018. There are no fluctuations in taste/quality and you always know what you are getting. We have already recommended the restaurant to others, which has left a more than positive impression on many people. Apart from the food, the staff and the ambience are great. I would recommend making a reservation for the weekend as the restaurant is very popular so it can get a little louder. Otherwise, please keep it up!

Great restaurant with friendly workers! The food is really delicious and prepared with care. Will definitely be back!

Such a great restaurant! Food is so delicious, service great, atmosphere beautiful

One of my absolute favorites Unfortunately I can only make it here at lunchtime, but the service and quality are really great. Choice of food is great and always tasty and fresh. There is a lunch menu where many dishes are discounted Thank you, keep it up

The shop is beautiful, super nice, respectful, friendly employees :) My daughter also got something to paint and wasn't bored. The food is super tasty and was prepared very quickly. Can recommend the chicken skewers (No.7) ;)

Absolutely recommended! Fresh ingredients, authentic taste and beautifully prepared dishes. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere

Very good restaurant! Warm and smiling service, with attention to detail! The food was excellent, for my part I ate a vegetarian curry with tofu and vegetables, the quantity was perfect and the dish very good. I was also able to taste their cocktails, here a Spritz with Cointreau which was also very well managed in terms of nuances. The atmosphere of the restaurant was subdued and rather friendly. Also perfect for a romantic meal.

Always very happy and very good

Not the typical Vietnamese food you are used to. Homemade unique dishes. Not only particularly good in Berlin but throughout Germany.

Very nice delicious restaurant😋

The food was very good! The service was extremely friendly and always attentive. Highly recommended!

Excellent Vietnamese food, very nice service. Gladly again!

Very tasty food and incredibly friendly service, I have enjoyed coming here for years and have never been disappointed!!

I'm thrilled! The food was really, really tasty - there were three of us and all three dishes were fantastic. The service is friendly and attentive. Great! You should know that the restaurant has an open kitchen and the tables are very crowded. We were lucky and got a table at the edge. All in all: FULLY RECOMMENDATION! The next time we are in Berlin again, we will definitely come back!

Everything there is really delicious.

Was here for the first time today with my family. The staff was extremely friendly. The menu is extensive and the prices are fair for the quality of the food. The food we ordered was very tasty and visually well prepared. This little restaurant is highly recommended

Very good, very fresh, very nice, very quiet. No extra to pay for an extra.

Food is great, maybe one of the best Vietnamese places I know in Berlin. Stuff is friendly as well. The atmosphere feels kinda classy. Inside there is always limited seating and its usually noisy cause all the tables are close to each other.

Absolutely wonderful. Excellent food I loved it

Very nice staff. Delicious food. I can only recommend this restaurant.

Very good food and reasonable prices. In addition, the employees are friendly and extremely accommodating. Thank you very much and see you soon!

Absolutely awesome, number one for Asian food in Steglitz. Very loving operation, the service is terrific, the home delivery is also bombastic and the food is unrivaled.

Great food and the lunch menu is cheap

One of the Best!!! Here you are treated really warmly and the food is exceptional. If you don't know exactly what to eat, you should simply seek advice. A well-run restaurant. Great food and really nice staff. We have enjoyed coming here for years. There are parking problems and you shouldn't plan on staying at a table for more than 2 hours, but if you make a reservation later in the evening, the operators are happy to let you stay until after work. An incredibly well-run restaurant. Super!!!

tasty food, pleasant atmosphere, good service and great vietnam coffee

Best Vietnamese food. Very friendly service.

A great restaurant, I can only recommend it if you like Asian cuisine

Small restaurant with excellent food. Personal, friendly and nice atmosphere.

Always super delicious, always super nice, patient service, a bank here in the south, thank you for so much delicious, delicious, delicious…

Food was very good...delivered quickly Very friendly - Rice a little too soft Point deduction - wipe the table while the guest is still sitting there

The restaurant's menu is not recommended for vegetarians. Although there are some dishes designated as vegetarian, none of them are vegetarian. The vegetarian dishes include several Pho dishes. When I asked, the employee told me that the beef pho is cooked for hours. Well, yes. What does this have to do with vegetarian dishes? The employee then went on to say that all dishes listed as vegetarian were cooked with fish sauce. This is also not suitable for vegetarians. That's not possible with the best will in the world. This means that the restaurant does not have a single vegetarian dish on the menu. But that's not what's on the menu, it's clearly stated as vegetarian. My food was ok, but nothing more. Lack of ideas and taste-wise, it's not something I'll try again. And then the next price increase was discussed in front of us as guests. A no-go. The friendly service and the nice ambience were positive. Please revise your card urgently!

Great restaurant, one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've ever been to. Friendly, helpful, and quick service. And the best thing is that the price is really fair. Definitely recommend 👌

Consistently good. You should.make a reservation. spontaneously few free places. Very well attended, very good food with friendly and nice staff. Food is also very good to take away if you order by phone!!! Renewed again today.

The waitress is so nice, the food is so good, we went two times. My boyfriend love this pho, he started to cry of happiness. Cheers

Bao Restaurant is a true discovery for lovers of Vietnamese cuisine. As soon as you enter the restaurant you are greeted by a warm, inviting ambience that offers the perfect mix of traditional charm and modern style. The subtle but tasteful furnishings with Asian accents immediately give you the feeling of immersing yourself in another world. The heart of Bao is undoubtedly the cuisine. The menu offers a fine selection of authentic Vietnamese dishes, all made with fresh ingredients. Of particular note is the Pho, a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup, which is served to perfection here. The broth is aromatic, deep and rich in flavor, while the tender strips of beef and fresh herbs complete the dish beautifully. Another highlight are the Banh Mi sandwiches, which offer a taste experience that is both filling and light with crispy baguette, juicy meat and crunchy vegetables. The selection of vegetarian dishes is also impressive - especially the Tofu Bun Cha, which impresses with its balanced mix of spicy and fresh. The service at Bao is equally commendable. The staff is attentive, friendly and always strives to provide guests with a pleasant experience. Great attention is paid to details, which is reflected in the presentation of the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant. The prices at Bao are more than fair considering the high quality of the food and service. Here you not only get a delicious meal, but also a piece of Vietnamese culture that makes every visit a special experience. Overall, Bao is a must for anyone who appreciates the diversity and sophistication of Vietnamese cuisine. Whether for a cozy dinner for two, a sociable meeting with friends or a quick lunch - Bao impresses across the board and leaves a lasting impression with every visit

Always my pleasure! For us one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the city 👌

Update: Even after 3 years, still great, like on the first day! I even managed to take photos this time - haha. Relatively inconspicuous from the outside but always fully occupied or completely booked. Reservations definitely make sense here. Actually, you can usually judge Vietnamese restaurants by the quality of their traditional Pho soup. For me one of the best in Berlin! But the other dishes are also really recommended. Especially the summer rolls. Service is friendly and accommodating. But the delivery service is also top notch - not something to be despised at the moment! Although I don't know how far they deliver. Our apartment is practically around the corner :)

We were there for lunch. The ambience is simple. Rates, service and price were right. It's nothing out of the ordinary but still recommended.

The food was very good. The atmosphere was relaxed and nice. The price was also very good. Particularly noteworthy was the mango shake with coconut milk, which was very tasty and refreshing.

The food was really good and, in our opinion, authentic. Prices are also offered in the lunch menu for lunch during the week. The furnishing style in the restaurant is quite dark - a matter of taste.

Von außen unscheinbar, aber innen klein und stylish. Der Service ist sehr freundlich, einladend und berät hervorragend. Das Essen ist ein wahres Geschmacksfeuerwerk, durchsetzt von Frische.

It was nice atmosphere,stuff are very friendly, price is good, food was good,restaurant is with good decorations. We had a good time!

Fabulous Cozy, authentic, delicious food. But Bao's grandeur has now overwhelmed it: it can be packed at peak times. But the service always remains casual and *very* nice and the food, even if it takes a few minutes longer, is always a delight! There is nothing comparable in the area. Hopefully the Bao will continue for a long time. The employees also take allergies and intolerances seriously and the food can also be prepared gluten-free, for example. Very good! Attention: Closed on Mondays! Pro tip for those picking up: the Bao has reusable tableware. Simply ask about it when ordering. Against deposit.

A very nice experience at very reasonable prices.

Vi er 2 matglade par og dette spontane besøket viste seg å bli en skikkelig fulltreffer, avslappet atmosfære, maten var meger bra gode porsjoner som mettet, alle ble gode og mette, vi kjente fort på at dette stedet kom vi til å huske og måle andre måltider opp mot. Meget bra til en overkommelig /billig pris. 5 av 5

Great restaurant absolutely recommended. Food is super delicious! 🥰♥️

Very crispy duck and very courteous service! Thank you very much <3

It was too dark inside and too loud outside (large main street) The food tasted good but wasn't exactly cheap either.
