CHAY UMI VEGAN in Berlin

It's really great, yummy for vegan food and cheap!! For sure will come back again

We went here for a cozy, purely plant-based dinner. The staff was very friendly, the place was very clean and well maintained. The selected dishes were super tasty and also very plentiful. We were very excited and would love to come back. In my opinion, an absolute must for fans of vegan, Asian cuisine.

Food was tasty, but unfortunately the portions were very small for the price

Better then 95% of any „meat“ Vietnamese restaurants

Recommended and very tasty. Cash only is not the case.

Love the food here! Can't wait to go back!

Really great and rich food, vegan and cheap, we'll be back. The service was very courteous and attentive.

Solid food for a fair price. There is a very wide variety to choose from and the portions are filling.

The banh bao was so delicious! Also my warm pasta salad which was really huge. Service friendly, toilet clean & accessible for disabled people. - Cash only

I am NOT a vegan and never will be. But I can still recommend this restaurant. The service is extremely nice and friendly, the food is served quickly and hot and yes, I didn't know that duck crispy on (whatever was in it) vegan base really tastes good. I can also recommend the soups.

Very tasty vegan food...my tip...Crispy tofu💕 with rice🔥

Worst store of the year. Service is terrible. With only 2(!) other guests, we were ignored for 20 minutes at 2:30 p.m. and didn't get a card. Even when asked, the response was reluctant. Was the stroller to blame? Doesn't matter. You don't want to be treated like that. Unfortunately there are no 0 stars…

Food was very tasty, nice shop. Unfortunately, one of the service staff basically took her cigarette break in my meal. Pretty annoying as a non-smoker. Otherwise the store is highly recommended. Apparently you just have to have good timing and not be there during the breaks.

Very tasty food and friendly service. Also a great selection of dishes. Be careful, spicy is really spicy!

We happened to walk past the little shop on a Sunday evening and since we wanted to watch the England game against Slovakia, we decided to stop here. There was a television on which the game was shown without sound. The menu looked very good and all the dishes in the restaurant are vegan, which was very important to us. We had two starters and two main courses. To drink we had a pot of lemongrass tea. The food was wonderful and the service was quick and very friendly. The atmosphere is also very inviting and one would like to spend time here. In addition to the size of the portions, the prices were also absolutely fair. We would love to come back here!

Very tasty and wide selection. Definitely coming back!!

My favorite restaurant in Berlin. The vegan duck is amazing!

42 euros for some mediocre food and really dissapointing portions. Much better places in Berlin! Thanks anyways, no disrespect, but not impressed.

Very, very tasty food and a child friendly place. We'd love to come back!

Chay Umi offers some of the best simple vegan food in Prenzlauer Berg. Special tip from the current menu: vegan duck. Has bite, has structure, has taste and is even crispy! Everything is fresh and tastes well balanced. Combinations with Saitan and tofu. There has been a lot of discussion here about the friendliness of the service at Chay Umi. Personally, I can't complain. The waiter took my order quickly and my food arrived in less than 10 minutes! In terms of taste, the dishes at Chay Umi are some of the best vegan Asian food I know in Berlin. The vegetables have a bite and taste “real”, just like the rice. I like the dishes because they are not so spicy. The mango lassi also tastes naturally fruity. The drinks menu itself is rather narrow, and the desserts on the menu are probably not always available.

The food was very good. No card payment.

The vegan duck was very good and a large portion. We were also very impressed with the Bao Bun as a starter.

A nice little nicely decorated Vietnamese. Food tastes really good. I decided on the vegan duck. The prices are also completely reasonable. The decor in the restaurant is also really nice And they have their own pet dog. Who just lies there and observes his surroundings without bothering you

We enjoyed pho soup and red curry with homemade lemonades. Very nice service and delicious, fresh dishes/drinks.

yellow cury & glass noodles Very good

Nice little Vietnamese restaurant on the edge of Schönhauser Allee with a tasteful ambience and excellent food that is usually prepared very quickly. If you're in a hurry and want to eat quickly, well, healthily and at reasonable prices, this is the right place for you! :)

One of the favorites for years for a delicious meal in a rustic, cozy atmosphere. Even though it's very busy, you can usually still find a place. The dining area offers good seating both inside and in front of the restaurant. The menu offers a wide selection. Among other things, bowls, salads, rice and pasta dishes, appetizers and desserts. The preparation and serving take place without long waiting times. On all previous visits, the dishes were tasty and varied. The staff is quick and attentive. However, payment is only possible in cash. Card payments are not yet offered. All in all a good location. Both thumps up ;)

Super delicious food and great restaurant! Really always recommended :)

Very good vegan cuisine, pleasant atmosphere. Affordable for a capital city tourist mile.

We were here recently and had a really nice experience. Although the store was very full (reservation is recommended), they were able to seat us (with the warning that only a short time window was possible). Inside you have a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere. Even though the time slot was slightly overdue, we were not pressured to leave by the friendly service. The house specialty, the vegan duck, tasted excellent and the salad was also very tasty, fresh and mild in taste. For dessert we had the sesame balls filled with refried beans, which were equally phenomenal. While the whole thing wasn't the cheapest restaurant in terms of price, the portion sizes here still didn't disappoint. The price-performance ratio is consistent. During our visit you could only pay in cash. I will definitely visit the store again on my next stay in Berlin.

Food was OK. Service just sufficient. Sitting outside in the evening sun is great!

Cosy small restaurant with vegan food. The only minus that it is cash only.

I love the curry dish of the day there

Very tasty food. Nice personel.

The service was very friendly and the attention was quite fast. The food is delicious, fresh and with a combination of flavors that evoke Asian food.

Small but very cozy restaurant, delicious food and great drinks at fair prices and friendly staff. Highly recommended👍🏻😋. We've been there several times and would love to come back.

The food was okay, but didn't blow your mind. I enjoy eating vegan-Asian food and think there is a lot of potential here. I didn't find the service very attentive, even though there were few customers. We waited longer for someone to take our order but ultimately had to draw our attention. They didn't even ask if everything was okay. They could have played some background music for the ambience, but otherwise the restaurant was very nicely decorated.

I had a Pho Seitan and it was amazing. The service was fast, the restaurant was cozy and quiet, and there were also tables to sit outside. The only negative thing is that they only accept cash.

Chic little loka with cozy facilities, we didn't have to wait long for our food and it was also very inexpensive and tasty, all vegan 😊

Lovely place to eat, good service & amazing food!

Tasty food and very friendly service.

Sehr sehr lecker und gutes Konzept. Essen kam ziemlich zügig und war gut gemacht. Ein bischen Teurer aber lohnt sich. Gutes Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis.

Sehr leckere vegane Viet-Thai-Küche.

Nettes kleines Restaurant, leckeres Essen, sehr netter Service. Was im Jahr 2024 aber so gar nicht geht, ist „Cash only“! In anderen Ländern kann ich alles mit Karte zahlen, bei vielen asiatischen Restaurants hier zu Lande nur mit Bargeld - warum das so ist kann sich jeder selbst seine Gedanken machen. Deswegen nur 4 Sterne

krasses essen zu sehr gutem preis

Sehr.gut.weltfriedenswanderer.stefan

We stumbled upon this place when we were cold and hungry. It was a real lucky find. We had a lovely time, the people were super nice and the food was delicious. It was a bit annoying that you had to pay with cash, but there is an ATM right next to the entrance to the restaurant so that was lucky as well.

I got the crispy vegan duck and it was the nicest vegan duck I have ever tasted! It was quiet so the food came out very fast. Staff were friendly and the interior was so lovely, a nice cosy feeling to it. We also got the coconut ice coffees which were so delicious. Would definitely recommend!

Vegane Ente ist wirklich wunderbar und es finden sich auch ausgefallenere Speisen wie Bun Cha La Lot in dem Menü. Servicepersonal war ein absoluter Traum - absolut zuvorkommend, flexibel und die ganze Zeit auf uns bedacht.

Tasty vegan Viet. I will come back again

Kleines Lokal, tolles veganes Essen, sehr vielfältige Auswahl, sehr freundlicher und schneller Service. Echt mal was anderes, aber unbedingt reservieren. Den ganzen Abend über waren alle Tische ständig belegt. Tolles Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Gerne wieder!

Vorspeisenplatte 2 sehr lecker und vielseitig. Vegane Ente sehr zu empfehlen! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder

I loved the vegan duck! 😍 very tasty dishes and many other vegan choices that sound good

Vegane Krosse Ente - ist die Ente - für dich und mich Nur leider mittlerweile doppelt so teuer wie noch vor 2 Jahren

Would recommend the Ananas drink. The dumplings were also good.

Sehr lecker, Curry sowie die Crispy Aubergine als Vorspeise. Ging mittags extrem fix, Lunch Menu vorhanden.

Super leckeres Curry, leider nur Barzahlung

Very good place to stop next to schönhauser Allee , a lot to different dishes to choose. It was my second time and not the last :) Thank you and you’ll soon in my next time in the city

Seit ich das 1. Mal hier essen war, bin ich sehr regelmäßig hier. Das Essen ist sehr aromatisch. Sehr große Geschmackserlebnisse. Sehr schnelle und freundliche Bedienung. Auch wenn man nicht reserviert hat, findet das Personal im eine Lücke bzw. Lösung, dass man bleiben kann. Einfach großartig. Mein Lieblings-Vietnamese in der Nähe. Tipp: Nur Barzahlung möglich

Anfangs war ich ja kritisch, aber ich muss sagen, dass diese vegane Ente mich tatsächlich umgehauen hat! Das Personal war sehr freundlich, es gab eine vielfältige Speisekarte und die Portionen waren reichhaltig. Werde nächstes Mal wieder herkommen, wenn ich in Berlin bin.

Đô ăn ngon quá sinh động chuẩn đồ Chay

Bin hier Stammgast, weil das Essen meistens gut ist. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Oft ist (viel) zu viel Zucker im Essen. Dann schmeckt das Reisgericht süß wie ein Nachtisch. Muss nicht umbendingt sein.

Super nice place with plenty of vegan options! I tried the specialty which is the vegan duck with vegetables and rice and it was simply delicious!!

Lieblingsrestaurant ♡ Es gibt viele Auswahlmöglichkeiten, die vegane krosse Ente kann ich besonders empfehlen. Ich habe mich bisher bei jedem Besuch sehr wohl gefühlt. Schöne Einrichtung, gemütliche Atmosphäre. Service sehr gut, schnelle Bedienung und entspannte und liebe Mitarbeitende. Dankeschön!

Love this place- low key, super tasty, nice staff, fair budget. Mein Favorit ist das Tofu mit Pilzen und ich bin Flexitarier!

Wir haben hier ganz wunderbare, leckere vegane knusprige Ente gegessen. Siehe Fotos kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Sehr leckeres und günstiges veganes Essen. Ein Besuch lohnt sich immer.

We go there since many years. It is always the same: food is very good, stuff is very friendly and professional. We will continue to go and to recommend it.

Leider hab ich es verpasst, ein Foto des Essens zu machen, dafür waren Hunger, Neugier und Ablenkung zu groß 😃 Ich vergleiche veganes od. vegetarisches Essen nicht direkt mit den Fleischprodukten, die sie ggf ersetzen sollen, viel mehr lege ich Wert auf den individuellen Geschmack des Gerichts. Hier allerdings muss man den Vergleich ziehen, weil es war derart treffend von Optik und vor allem im noch warmen Zustand der Konsistenz, das war absolut verblüffend. Geschmacklich ebenso so top, super knusprig, sehr leckeres Panade und super würzige Soßen und Dips, welche super abgestimmt auf das Gemüse, die "Ente" und den Reis waren. Ich war absolut begeistert! Zudem bekommt man vom super Servicepersonal außergewöhnliche Drinks, das alles zu angemessenen Preisen.

I try different plates in this restaurant, and they are so tasty , the plates are made with fresh and quality elements, the service is fast. Recommended 100%

Amazing vegan food, great tastes, we love it so much! The crispy duck is very recommended!

Cibo buonissimo, porzioni davvero generose, prezzo sensato, servizio relativamente rapido e personale discreto...che volere di più?? Consiglio ad occhi chiusi.

Sehr leckere Vegetarische Ente und viel Auswahl für Vegetarier und Veganer. Guter Cocktail.

Einer meiner lieblings Orte im Prenzlauer Berg. Super leckeres und kreatives essen, das sich auf jedenfall lohnt einmal auszuprobieren. Ich würde empfehlen vor dem Besuch zu reservieren, da dieses Restaurant sehr beliebt ist.

Sypathischer Service, leckeres Essen zu recht fairen Preisen! Und das beste… alles vegan 😩

Das Essen war lecker. Finde die Preise für den Mittagstisch leider etwas zu hoch.

Very Lecker and sehr Delikatiös... Gerne wieder

Herzlichen Willkommen im Land der begaben Köstlichkeiten. Es geht auch ohne Fleisch mit 100% Geschmack. Sehr gute klare Küche mit einer sehr guten Karte in der jeder fündig wird. Freundlicher schneller Service und sehr schönes Ambiente. Sitzmöglichkeiten auch vor dem Restaurant. Ganz klarer Favorit für mich die Vegane Ente Cross aus Seitan. Neben der klassischen Karte gibt es zudem eine kleinere Mittagskarte mit günstigeren Preisen. Geht vorbei jeder Zeit. Abends wesentlich besser besucht. Jeder Zeit wieder.

We had the „vegan crispy duck“ as well as the „vegan salmon bowl“ with a starter platter. We were suuuuper pleased with the food! So good! We went in hungry and came out very well fed 🥳😉 Recommended to everyone — enjoy!

Essen war ok, etwas salzig (alle vier Speisen die wir bestellten) und sehr viel Salat statt Ente&Gemüse. Lage und Atmosphäre sind topp. Leider nur Crash!

Unser Lieblingsvietnamese in Prenzlauer Berg

so so lecker!!! probiert die vegane Ente!

Vegane Ente ist sehr zu empfehlen - kross und kaum von dem tierischen Produkt zu unterscheiden. Die Portionen waren sehr überschaubar und mit Salat aufgefüllt. Service war nett, kam sehr häufig und wollte schon abräumen. Nur Barzahlung Kinderfreundlich

Das beste Essen was ich je gegessen habe!

Amazing food and cozy ambiance. Best vegan chicken I’ve ever eaten!

Ich liebe das Chay Umi. Über Jahre hinweg konstant gutes Essen, nicht zu preisintensiv und immer was los. Ich liebe die vegane Saitan Suppe; auch zum mitnehmen. Bleibe Fan.

Ich kann das Restaurant nur empfehlen! Sehr leckeres Essen, der Kellner war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir gehen dort sehr gerne essen!

Möglicherweise das beste vegane Essen in ganz Berlin, eine absolute Perle von Restaurant.

Chay Umi war lange eines meiner liebsten veganen Restaurants in Berlin, doch der Abend heute war eine Katastrophe: Nachdem die ansonsten freundliche Kellnerin das Wasser quer über den Tisch auf meine wichtigen Dokumente verschüttet hatte, wurde das Essen in Windeseile serviert - als wäre nichts geschehen. Als ich ihren Kollegen bat mit dem Essen einen Moment zu warten, wurde mir Unhöflichkeit vorgeworfen. So etwas habe ich noch nie erlebt! Das Essen war kalt.

Contra: Man kann nicht mit Karte zahlen. Pro: Alles andere... Essen war super lecker (Vegane Ente und Kokossuppe als Vorspeise) Preis stimmte absolut. Ja war einfach klasse

Bester Vietnamese in Berlin (und vielleicht der Welt ♡)! Jedes Gericht ein Gedicht, sehr liebe Bedienung, tolles Ambiente, Hundi Vang, wir kommen immer wieder sehr gerne!!!

This was one of my favorite meals in Berlin. We literally were walking right by and stopped in. My friend and I shared a few items together. The bao bun was amazing. And we also shared one of the assorted plates which was perfect for the two of us. The crunchy roll was absolutely to die for. And the eggplant was good. We both ordered one of their teas/sodas which was totally refreshing and delicious. I highly recommend you come here for a meal so good and did not disappoint.

vegan, very fast, very delicious, very healthy, very fresh, good price, perfect

Leider wirklich kein gutes Essen - sehr fad! Die Bestellung ging keine 5min…Mühe wurde sich wirklich nicht genommen und weder Gemüse noch Pommes waren durch

Ma sœur et moi aurions adoré y manger, mais il n'y avait plus de place et la serveuse, fort peu aimable, a refusé qu'on attende qu'une place se libère ou qu'on commande à emporter. Il était 20h30 et le restaurant ne ferme qu'à 23h. Curieuse façon d'accueillir de nouveaux clients. Dommage.

Sehr lecker, auch wenn man sich nicht vegan ernährt. Unbedingt mal probieren.

Warm and sweety place. ❤️ Sehr lecker und sehr freundliche Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

the food is amazing with many delicious vegan choices

Richtig gutes Essen. Vielen Dank <3

Schon bei der Reservierung eines Tisches wird man darauf hingewiesen, dass man nicht länger als 1 Stunde 15 Minuten bleiben darf. Also Essen verschlingen und wieder gehen?! Unglaublich! Das ist mein 3. Versuch Gast sein zu dürfen, da ich bereits 2x weg geschickt wurde, da ich nicht reserviert hatte. Was sollen diese Regeln, die jeden Gast vergraulen, der in Ruhe, gemütlich und gut essen möchte.
