Cao Cao in Berlin

Bun Bo is a must try! Very reasonable prices as well 🙂

Great good and dishes, highly recommanded, even for not asian style lovers - and also friendly servants !

Fresh, excellent, large portions

Food lacked preparation. Service was chaotic. Atmosphere was fine.

Very accommodating service....average food

Good food but maybe too much salad - similar to a mediterranean restaurant. Good quality and service

Great location, very stylish and outstanding food, a highlight in terms of taste. Decent portions and great location. Very friendly service and completely reasonable prices. I'd love to come back.

Food is average, they charge you 1 euro per person extra if you would like to takeaway. But the containers they use are poor plastic bag with no proper lids. Service is okay Moreover , it’s not dog friendly , they don’t give water bowl . They said they cannot give a water bowl. It’s the first time in Germany that I hear the restaurant refuse to give water for dogs . We went there because if 2k reviews, but seriously not worth it. There are plenty of restaurant around which is worth trying

Positive: The vegan choices for food were excellent. The food was flavorful and portion sizes were good. The spring rolls were kind of expensive considering it’s basically 2. It’s unfortunate I happen to understand that the waitstaff talks negatively about their customers. Thinking they don’t understand. Insults translate….

I am Vietnamese. The most delicious spring rolls I've ever eaten

Excellent place to have lunch ir dinner with family, very nice indoors and good service, Id recommend to reserve beforehand

My goodness, that was great! Food and drinks are excellent value for money. The restaurant is very cozy and the service is very friendly and very quick. I can't think of anything negative at all. I also find the decor of the restaurant very cozy and very successful! We were there at Christmas time. A very large Christmas tree shone in many bright colors. Simply wonderful! Thank you to the staff! Great.

Best Vietnamese restaurant i have ever been to! The summer roles, mango-shake and bahn chui are amazing🤤🤤

We have a very large Vietnamese community, where I live, and we do have a quite a few very authentic Vietnamese restaurant. I was surprisingly to find the Cao Cao , served very authentic good flavor, Vietnamese soup,Pho and very traditional rice dishes! What can be better to have a hot and steamy bowl of beef noodles soup in the cold water day! The final two pictures show my wife and I finished our dinner with satisfied stomach

Fantastic food, great sized portions and extremely reasonably priced. The staff were lovely as was the atmosphere.

I found it by accident , but I wasn't disappointed. Delicious soup and dish. 💕

Great food Delicious drinks, great draft beer Nice service

Sorry, the restaurant is just overrated. - crowded and small (but 'normal' for Berlin standards) - food was quite good, but nothing special - unfriendly staff (refused to package our left-over-food)

Very friendly and competent service staff. Special meal requests will be taken into consideration with understanding. Despite the high number of guests, the food is served quite quickly and to all guests at the same time. The food is of good quality and sufficient in quantity. Duck is highly recommended. We therefore felt compelled to have dinner here on two days in a row during our short vacation. It is advisable to reserve in the evening.

I had one of the most disappointing dining experiences, despite the food being surprisingly delicious. I arrived at 22:16, well before their closing time of 23:00, and from the very beginning, I felt unwelcome. A staff member told me I could order in five minutes and stay for 30 minutes, which I agreed to. However, moments later, a waitress walked in, visibly irritated, and almost shouted at him in Vietnamese, insisting they only take takeout orders. This created a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. I complied without complaint and placed a takeout order. Immediately after, the staff member handed me the bill and expected me to pay upfront. I told him I would prefer to pay once I received my food, and he reluctantly agreed. However, barely two minutes later, he returned, insisting, ‘Card or cash?’ and pushing me to pay again. I felt rushed and treated as if they couldn’t wait to be rid of me. And as soon as I left I noticed I forgot my scarf so the waiter opened the door and handed it to me almost screaming something negative to me and I even said thank you. Despite all of this, when I finally got my food, I was genuinely surprised—it was incredibly delicious and packed with flavor. Unfortunately, the excellent food couldn’t outweigh the terrible service. The rude and unprofessional attitude of the staff overshadowed the experience entirely. Restaurants should prioritize making their customers feel welcome, especially during posted business hours. While the food was fantastic, the service was so poor that I won’t be returning. Good food alone isn’t enough when you’re treated as though your presence is an inconvenience. I hope the management addresses this, as the food deserves better representation than the unwelcoming service I experienced.

Very nice food, fresh good quality salad. Tasty pho and good service. The spring rolls were very nice, too.

Very tasty food, the service was very friendly and accommodating and it is very cozy.

The food was a solid four, maybe even a plus. Cheap, abundant, fresh and unadventurous ;)

Good restaurant, fast and efficient service great food and good (big) portion. Would for sure recommend.

Great Vietnamese restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food is very good! I always enjoy coming to the restaurant when I'm nearby. Thanks to the Cao Cao team.

We came here three days ago as a group, paid separately by card, each of us below 20€ and everything was just fine. What a nice place to dine it was! Now, three days later, we decided to come back again and when we are about to pay, all of the sudden you are telling us it’s not possible to pay by card separately below 20€ ?? Are you insane?! We showed the waiters the paid bills from a couple of days ago and yet they argued with us for 10 minutes. What is wrong with you and what’s your problem?! If you don’t know how to run a business then just better shut it down and do something else. And don’t put up those card payment stickers on the door if there are some silly conditions like 20€/meal. Ridiculous! Either take card payments or don’t, but don’t change your mind from one day to another and then argue with customers who were paying here literally three days ago by card without any problem. That you are plotting some sneaky way how to avoid taxes isnt the customer’s problem either. And if ,in 2024 (!!), you are making such a fuss about card payments then you are not a serious business, unfortunately. We will not be coming back and it’s a huge disappointment cos the first impression was so good.. and then this.

Avoid. The food is mediocre, service is slow. Also, they insist on a minimum of 20euros for a credit card (really? Enter the modern world already…)

This is a delightful Vietnamese restaurant at Kudamm. Reasonably priced and all the food we tried was excellent. Vegetarian spring rolls, rote curry mit tofu and especially recommend the icecreams - The baked banana with vanilla and the Matcha Eis were both really great!

We happened to pass by here after shopping at KaDeWe and were absolutely thrilled. Super fast service, great food at a great price and all in a great ambience. Very clean, card payment (credit) possible. Recommend the homemade sauces. An absolute recommendation and would be happy to come again at any time!

Addendum: We are now very satisfied regular customers and drive to the area just to eat there :-) ------- We were there by chance and it was delicious. Great value for money. Service was very great and the decor was also very attractive. If we are in the area again, we will definitely sit there again.

Very nice Bo Bun and Pho Bo, but a very indifferent waiter. Would recommend.

The environment is very warm and comfortable, the food is of good quality and tastes good. When you enter the water bar, the staff is smiling and very friendly. The other staff speak English fluently. Because the four of us ate after 8pm, there were not many diners. , overall very satisfied, the price is reasonable, six dishes, three glasses of beer, the bill is EUR 76.9

An excellent and cheap Vietnamese restaurant, we ate a wonderful clam soup and a dish of shrimps with rice and vegetables and it was really delicious.

Absolutely 5 stars, 5.0. Food fantastic, atmosphere nice, service very friendly and quick. And prices are great, 10-11 euros already have delicious, large main dishes like the V8 or V11 on the menu.

Very tasty dishes, in a great atmosphere. Great quality of food with great taste for everyone.👍

Well priced and tasty food. Good and quick service.

Good service - they allowed us to split the bill and the food was delicious. We spent hours in the restaurante chatting and chilling without anyone bothering us.

From the menu it may be not that clear, but all food here contains fish sause. So, no options for the strict vegetarians.

Came here accidentally I feel hungry after a long que in adidas store beside this resto I order crispy duck and pho Turnout it’s good very delicious

Very good food, beautiful ambience and very nice attentive service. Price-performance is great! Always happy to do so in larger groups.

What a fantastic meal, never had such good spring rolls before. Everything is just great ❤️

We were here for lunch today and found it very tasty, the prices were pleasantly cheap for Berlin standards and the food was great. I had the Pho and my girlfriend had the vegetarian soup and the spring rolls, both were good. I liked the spring rolls the best here so far seemed homemade and not just thawed. The Pho had a strong broth and the noodles were a little thicker than I'm used to which gave them a little more bite, which I thought was good. All in all, the food was great, the restaurant is beautifully designed and has a quiet atmosphere and the toilets were clean. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating.

Loved the food. Loved the service. Giving 2 stars because of tips forced into your face, starting from +10% , +15% , + 20%. Everyone knows about the social pressure when thee tips are forced to you with the sever waiting over your head. It’s not fair. It might make sense in America ( I argue it doesn’t there too) but this practice is NOT welcome in Europe !!

First time there and really loved the food. I ordered H1 - Côm Sốt Mẽ and it was so delicious! They didn’t have the pomelo salad but still the avocado salad with exquisite!

Nice decor, but the pho is not authentic pho at all, and way too salty.

The service has gotten so bad compared to a few years ago. No matter what I asked, he said no, and when I asked him to cut up some chili for the four of us eating, I was shocked to see that he gave us the size of a fingernail and told us to share. Then, when paying, they asked for a tip of at least 15%. In Europe, you only give a tip if the service is really good, but the service is crappy and they try to get a tip like in the US. The food is worse than a few years ago. Don't go.

We had dinner at a restaurant yesterday. The waiter constantly came and went, checking if we finished our meal, almost like he was trying to hurry us. The portions were small but tasty. I wouldn't recommend it to tourists. It's a place catering more to Germans.

Nothing to say, it was good and the plate was plentiful, there was plenty to eat. The service is fast.

I enjoyed the rice noodles, wonton soup, spring rolls, and Vietnamese spring rolls. Be sure to eat ice cream for dessert!

I came to Berlin for a few days and wanted to eat some Asian food. I saw good reviews and it was close to where I lived, so I came to try it. I ordered spring rolls, beef and chicken rice noodles, and a la carte of green vegetables and beer. After all, this is Europe, and the taste is certainly not the same as that of Asia. For example, there was no service other than ordering and serving food. The key point was that when paying with a credit card, I wanted to round up the whole number as a meaning. Unexpectedly, the waiter pointed to the 10, 15, and 20% tip options on the credit card machine and asked for a certain amount. It’s really speechless to choose one. If you can understand Chinese comments, please make your own decisions.

It doesn't get any better. If you want excellent Vietnamese food, this is the place for you.

Wow, so impressed with this place. It has a classic and luxurious oriental style. I was very surprised when I explored the Cao Cao store, what a special design in this city. The food is very tasty, the price is very reasonable, it is worth coming next time.

I think it is an insult to charge extra for a to-go package when a guest has already spent in a drink, a starter and a main dish. I like ordering a starter and a main dish, though it is normally too much food for me, I like to take what I’m not able to eat at the restaurant to-go. I guess that the manager of this place rather have guests not spending money on a starter or a desert than giving them a to-go package as part of the service. That’s a ridiculous business mindset. I used to be a frequent guest at this restaurant, I came last week and when I ordered what I couldn’t eat anymore to-go, I wasn’t charged extra, the package was beautifully prepared for me by the staff and brought in a bag to my table, that’s real service. Today the waiters inform me the rules changed this week and now not only they asked me to pay one euro for the package but they just brought me the cheapest package possible without a bag and asked me to pack it myself on the table… well, I would like to let you know that I will not only ever order a starter again at your place, you just lost a frequent customer all the way. It’s a real shame when good restaurants ruin themselves making cheap decisions like this one.

The food was okay, nothing extraordinary and also not so many vegan options. The service could’ve been more welcoming.

Very good food, friendly, fast service. More beautiful inside than outside. Of course there were a few greasers in the toilets here too. This should be removed in good time, otherwise it will become more.

Unfortunately things were so exotic that I could only eat chicken and fries because of all my allergies

I have not even sat at the table yet but was told I only had 1 hour to finish my meal.

Authentic Vietnamese food and attentive service from anh Tài & chi Thủy. I’ve had great Vietnamese food in Berlin and this is one of the best spot for sure.

Abundant portions, although perhaps too much salad. We ordered the duck Vit car ri do which was very good. The waiter told me that the Mien xao with tofu had eggs in it in case there were any vegans. It was very crowded and the service took a little while; Even so, the waiter was attentive, warned us and apologized. We understood each other very well and we were comfortable. They have air conditioning.

Outrageous. Vouchers cannot be redeemed piecemeal. This clearly contradicts the recommendations of the state consumer advice center. Instead, people prefer to discuss things and claim that this is the case everywhere. Insight? None.

Very friendly service and delicious food with large portions of great quality. The price is even bearable. Nice quiet location and relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. Been there twice and would love to come back!

Great presentation and taste of the food, highly recommended

I really loved this place, I arrived very sick to Berlin and ordered salmon with orange with spices it was very good and ginger tea also very very good

Very tasty for the money and in the middle of Berlin just a side street from the tourist crowds. Plus fast and friendly service. Will be added to my positive list and will be visited again.

Friendly owner, delicious food and nice atmosphere

Delicious food, fair prices and super nice staff

We sat outside and came here based on the reviews. They did not lie not only was the food exceptionally good, we only waited for about 10 minutes and then our main courses came. Would definitely go again!

Always good, fresh cuisine and great service

Always happy again. The vegetables with shrimps in particular taste very good

A very good place with a nice atmosphere if you want to eat quickly and enjoy something delicious. The prices are also reasonable. We visited in July—I had the Pho Bo, and my friend had the duck with rice, if I remember correctly. The Pho Bo bowl was really big, and the broth was excellent; I couldn't eat anything else afterward. The duck meat was tender and tasty.

Foreigners should avoid this restaurant. The guy with glasses forced me to tip like I didn’t know the nature of tipping in EU. It’s shady and it disappoints my experience. The food was just ok.

Very good vietnamese food in berlin. And value price

Super cute restaurant, the staff are just super nice and the food is phenomenal!

I cannot advocate for the food, it was not authentic at all. The taste is weird. Service was just fine. Nice ambiance.

Love this place, we ate here twice on our stay in Berlin having discovered it on our last visit It’s great food, fantastic portions and lovely atmosphere

Lovely food at decent prices with polite and friendly staff. I had the dumpling chicken soup, which was fab.

Solid restaurant with Vietnamese food. In Berlin there are better places for Vietnamese dishes but you don’t do anything wrong visiting this place when staying in the area.

Friendly service, everything fresh and very tasty

Succulent and inventive Vietnamese cuisine, a must!

It was a great find. Close to my hotel. Quite good food.

- Food is served in dirty very late plastic dishes. - It was discussed that the food should not be weird - it was extremely spicy. - the waiter was very rude and arrogant. Love tried another restaurant; There are enough alternatives in the area.

Best Pho I’ve ever had. Everything on their menu is amazing. Unfortunately, the fact that they don’t serve tap water brings the rating down by a star. Otherwise EASY 5 stars.

Food is OK. Staff on the other hand is very rude and does not speak German or English. Menu includes allergen labeling, but this means nothing. Gluten free meals are served, topped with fried onions coated in gluten. When we adressed this issue, we were cussed at by staff. Staff never offered to remake the dish, on top of that, they never apologized! Do not visit this restaurant if you have food sensitivities or deadly allergies. Staff also forces you to tip. When paying in cash, staff assumes all and any cash above the total is a tip. Does not offer to give you your change unless asked. Just read that a pregnant lady ended up in the hospital with food poisoning after dining here. Stay safe. Do not eat at Cao Cao.

At Cao Cao I recommend the famous Phó soup - with beef! Very tasty, very friendly and fast service 🫶 the price-performance ratio is very good ☀️☀️ Regarding general prices in the restaurant sector: If inflation rises sharply, prices simply cannot fall. So, everything was great and highly recommended. Best regards

Very nicely decorated restaurant with a varied menu and fresh dishes. The taste is good and the price-performance ratio is also very fair. We were served wonderfully by lovely Hung🙏🏼

Great service, food was excellent and reasonable priced.

Great vegan Pho, great service, nice Ambience 😊

The food was delicious, but the service was very fast. Almost no time between dishes

First viet food in Berlin, we really enjoy it👌

A restaurant near the Memorial Church and therefore well located. The facilities are very good and larger groups can also sit together at a large table. The service is quick and good. The food is good, but good value for money. This should be mentioned regarding the area in which the restaurant is located.

Their egg fried rice is amazing.

I ordered crispy duck with rice and mango Eistee, the quality of duck and drink is so so. When I paid, the waiter especially emphasized the tip was not included in the price, the handling was a bit strange…

Food was very tasty and authentic, had the crispy duck, it was cooking perfectly. Service was very friendly and attentive. Picture is the crunchy spring rolls.

Peaceful place. Delicious food, generous portions and cheap. Correct and agile service

What a surprise! We repeat to taste it again, summer rolls are a must.

Beautiful and calm very relaxed xxx perfect

Delicious food and great service 5/5.

Delicious food. Thanks to services by Mr Tai

Nice setting, good meal for very low prices.

Vietnamese restaurant. The food is reasonable, the service is average, the design of the restaurant is beautiful.
