Chi Keng in Potsdam

Great restaurant, super fast service, great food preparation, gladly again 👍👍

Fantastic food, nice atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended!

High prices, but the performance is right. Food and service were very good 👍🏻

We had heard that this restaurant was good - that was a good prerequisite. When we looked at the menu we were a bit confused at first, the price level was a bit "raised". However, we were able to find that the quality of the food also corresponds to this level without any restrictions. It was very tasty. The ambience is a matter of personal taste - we have difficulties with benches without backrests.

That's really very good. However, if I give 5 stars everywhere, then from my point of view there is nothing better, but there is. The food tastes really good, the service is really nice and not intrusive at all. Maybe I find it quite expensive, but ultimately worth it. The portions are large.

Prices are super cheeky for a watery tom kha and fluff on the sushi. never again.

Quality has its price. Always my pleasure.

Vouchers are only accepted with the original receipt. Our voucher was not accepted because it was a copy. The employer who gave the voucher needs the original, so we only had the copy. Extremely annoying, rude! We will never go there again and don't recommend it!

Fick rekommendationen av hotellet bredvid när vi råkat hamna i Potsdam istället för Berlin. Så överraskade vi blev av denna fantastiska Vietnamesiska mat. Om vi kommer i närheten igen kommer vi verkligen att komma tillbaka. Finest Asian kitchen står det utanför restaurangen och det stämmer verkligen. Det enda tråkiga var att vi ätit en senare lunch så vi orkade bara varsin huvudrätt. Vi åt Chi Keng Curry med anka som var helt fantastisk och Ca Hoi Dac Biet med lätt-halstrad Tonfisk av finaste kvalitet. Därtill ett (eller två) glas Vollratz Riesling. Vi kommer tillbaka och lovar att vara hungrigare så att vi även orkar förrätter.

The drinks are now simply overpriced and the way guests are treated when it comes to choosing or assigning seats is sometimes very rude, almost cheeky, considering how much money they are leaving there.

I'll give the location two stars! We wanted to have beautiful weather on October 7th. Sit outside and enjoy the sun. Unfortunately the waiter thwarted our plans. "He would be alone and couldn't serve outside too." He turned down my offer to get the things himself and bring them back in with the words "then everyone would want that." 😱 I didn't know I was such a people magnet. 🤣🤣🤣 It's a shame, but the Spaniard EL BARON opposite was very friendly and the view of the Brandenburg Gate in Potsdam was even better.

Good quality of the food. Everything fresh. No sauces etc. The prices are correspondingly slightly higher. But still within limits. Service good. Recommended.

Good food, fast and pleasant service, nice atmosphere although it was a bit crowded when we got there

Food fantastic! Service was nice, atmosphere was loud, stylish and uncomfortable (benches without backrests). On Friday evening you may have to wait until a table becomes available.

Very great location, we immediately felt at home and the service also had a very friendly demeanor. The food was great and we can highly recommend the appetizer variation for 2.

Muss mich den Rezessionen anschließen, früher war die Qualität herausragend. Da hat es nachgelassen. Die Preise sind unangemessen gestiegen. Lieber woanders hin...

The food is super fine. All big portions and if you can afford it then you can go there. But extremely expensive for Germany. Starters all cost at least 15 euros. And main course at least 20 - 25 euros. A beer 0.5 for 7.5 euros. And water 0.75l for 9.60 euros is grossly overpriced. As I said 1 you can go there. But such prices are unusual for Germany.

The best Asian restaurant I've ever eaten at. Very friendly staff

In the Dutch Quarter. Can you stop by? We didn't eat, just had a drink.

Great food, price performance absolutely ok.

There was Vietnamese coffee and homemade lemonade. Plus beef with glass noodles. Everything was very tasty and recommended!!

Outstandingly tasty, originally designed sushi. Really something special.

I ordered the duck based on a recommendation. I can recommend it with a clear conscience

Good Asian cuisine. Drinks ok too. . But everything is quite expensive. 2 drinks and 2 dishes around 65 euros.

This is a great restaurant. Beautifully decorated with an open kitchen located in the back and generous seating outside as well as inside makes it so amazing. The staff is very fast and attentive. They made sure to give me extra cilantro, even gave it for free! The flavors are great and authentic I would say. I had pho and the broth was really good. They have Vietnamese food, thai food and sushi, as well as vegetarian options. I would always come back and highly recommend this place.

I highly recommend it! The delicious food, the great care and the very welcoming environment! The smell of natural lilies has spread throughout the room and is incredibly inviting!

The sushi is delicious and served quickly.

Good food in a relaxed atmosphere. What more do you need?

Very good rich food. Definitely try it out

Great food, highly recommended, everything perfect again and again.

The service was quick and friendly This was the best Vietnamese restaurant I've been to outside of Vietnam to date. The prices may seem high to some, but I can say that it is worth every cent. Not only does it taste extremely good, the presentation is also very nice.

Great food 🥘 at a reasonable price. Absolute recommendation.

Great service, food very tasty - price/performance absolutely justified. Will definitely come back.

Excellent ! 5/5. Very good, very hearty, very tasty. Original blends of flavors. Tremendous !

That's an experience, we were amazed. You have to come here more often to try all the delicacies. Great restaurant. Large portions, large selection, unfortunately the restaurant is only available in this area. It's worth coming here.

Music is too loud, you can't enjoy your food and you can't understand a word the person across from you is saying. Sushi is so big that you have to cut it because it doesn't fit in your mouth! A pity … The quality and ambience are excellent.

Very good food, friendly, fast service at high prices. Great location right in the center.

Excellent food and stylish atmosphere.

Very tasty food and nice location. Unfortunately quite expensive.

The same applies to this store: exorbitant prices and arrogant service. Food okay. Hopefully the owner also pays taxes in Germany.

It was really delicious...!!!! It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best restaurant in Germany. I highly recommend it.

I used to be excited. The price is now very high, but the restaurant has made the sushi rolls simply huge (1 special or inside out is enough to fill you up). I had to dismantle it into pieces. In my opinion, this corresponds to the concept of sushi. Because the rolls are so big and so expensive, you can't try different variations. You simply can't do it. The quality of the fish is good. We won't eat there anymore.

very good cuisine, gladly again!

I was disappointed during my visit today: the prices have been raised again. A small cola 5 euros, all right. I think two summer rolls for 15 euros or a salmon nigiri for 11 euros are borderline. The service is confusing: I was asked by 4 people about the order I had already placed. It still took 15 minutes to get the drink.

Very tasty, but also very expensive

Delicious food and delicious drinks.

This restaurant has friendly staff. The prices are very high even by Potsdam standards (a 0.3 cola €4.80, a 0.5 beer €7.90) Eating tastes good.

Very good food and even though there was no room left, they found one for us. :-)

Update June 2024; The prices have now reached the level of madness! :-( Always delicious food, but it has now become very expensive after the last price increase - especially when you consider the proximity to the excellent Asian restaurants in Charlottenburg and Berlin's China Town. It's a shame, Potsdam is apparently too small for anything more than provincial food. Tip: If you can spend 20 minutes from Potsdam HBF to Charlottenburg, we recommend the Asians there! :)

Very tasty food but higher price range. Service is always super quick and friendly

The Chi Keng restaurant in Potsdam offers an excellent experience in every respect. The food is artfully decorated, served on beautiful dishes and delights with a taste experience that impresses with fresh, perfectly balanced aromas. The service is discreet and extremely attentive, always offering advice and paying attention to the smallest details. The atmosphere is rounded off by pleasant light and stylish furnishings. An excellent location completes the perfect experience.

Nice place. Really expensive though. Great sushi, nice entrees. Update June 2024: pricing is ridiculous now

The restaurant is well located and pleasant. But the good location is reflected in the menu. The food is plentiful, but we had a piece of plastic from the packaging in the food, which shouldn't happen at this price.

To ensure that the prices are at least as high as in a well-equipped restaurant, it would be better to adapt the ambience accordingly. Food is okay, but nothing more. In terms of price, I don't think it's right overall.

There were two of us here and the food was incredibly good. The meat in particular was excellent, perfectly seasoned and very tender. The ambience was also very appealing and created a pleasant atmosphere, although the simple wooden tables and benches are not for every taste. The food came very quickly after ordering. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, which made our visit even more pleasant.

Everything is extremely excellent

We went to chi keng today and didn't think the food was particularly good. Rather bad. We ordered the starter platter and two main courses. The plate disappointed us in terms of taste and appearance as we expected more for the price. Since there were mostly fried dishes and ready-made sauces on the plate, we canceled a main course. We also cannot recommend the chi king curry. The salad on the plate is delicious, the curry underneath is rather bland. Incomprehensible to us for the price. The service employee was friendly and accommodated our changes to the dishes.

We've been to Chi Keng a few times. It is comparatively a bit more expensive than elsewhere. The hot dishes are of good quality and the portions are generous. Last time we had the sushi for 2, we didn't make it. There was a bowl for the soy sauce for everyone, but I was missing something to put down the chopsticks. It would also be good to have an additional plate at your place so that nothing falls into the soy sauce when you take a bite. I messed up my top with splashes. Tip for chopstick beginners: Ask for the take-away chopsticks, the others are too round. We sat outside, the restaurant was moderately busy and there was a lot of friendly service staff around. However, you had to fight to make eye contact so that you could order drinks, for example. Overall, Chi Keng is recommended and we will definitely come back.

Beautiful, spacious, clean and sun-protected terrace. The interior is also impressive: very classy, ​​modern and elegant. The menu is clearly laid out and leaves nothing to be desired for lovers of Vietnamese cuisine. The sushi menu is also impressive. There is no hamachi, but that makes up for the truly outstanding quality of the fish on offer. We ordered various dishes and sushi to share in the middle. Given the prices, I really expected a great cinema and the fact: we were not disappointed! The portions are gigantic but, above all, every dish tastes just right. What balance and finesse! The wheel hasn't been reinvented here, obviously above-average quality products are used here and you can taste it, hats off. The sushi is gigantic and the quality of the fish - as already mentioned - is incredible. The service was very nice, courteous and quick. I would like to give you one warm recommendation: please swap the Smirnoff vodka for a product that matches your level and standard.

We were able to enjoy a wonderful sushi starter platter that was of excellent quality 😘

Service and quality of food were excellent.

Delicious food and quick service

I was here on Wednesday evening at 5 p.m. and got a table very easily. Reservation didn't work. Parking spaces can be found in the immediate vicinity. I didn't like the very simple atmosphere. There is nothing comfortable and you sit at long tables on wooden benches. The sushi rolls are nothing special in terms of taste. They are really very big, which is different from others. But there is a really high price to pay for this. It didn't convince me 100%. Just too expensive and lacks ambience.

Very high quality products. Very happy again.

Das Chi Keng ist seit Jahren eine feste Größe in unserem Repertoire. Die letzten paar Besuche sind wir leider etwas enttäuscht worden. Die Preise steigen, die Portionen werden kleiner und das Essen wird auch schlechter. Sowohl liebloser angerichtet, als auch gechmacklich nicht mehr außergewöhnlich. Der Service war schon immer gewöhnungsbedürftig, kann aber bei gut sichtbarer Lustlosigkeit auch nicht punkten. Wir suchen mittlerweile nach Alternativen

Just great! We've actually been there very, very often - always incredibly courteous staff, great dishes and drinks and a great ambience. Be sure to try the selection of maki (salmon and tuna are delicious). Never disappoints - highly recommended!

Food relatively expensive. But the portions are also extremely large. So compared to other restaurants, once inside out sushi is enough for me here and I'm super full. Both fish and other dishes taste good. I prefer to eat smaller and different dishes. But everyone who has been there has loved the food.

Very tasty food, but unfortunately still too expensive for what you get. The sushi is also rolled very large which makes the whole thing a bit awkward. Still recommended!

You sit at long tables on wooden benches (I would describe it as a more stable beer tent set), which I personally don't like at all! The quality of the food is excellent! It is served decoratively on large plates. The sushi rolls are quite large - my girlfriend had to split them with a knife and fork! The service was very friendly. The price level is high!

Best Asian food in a long time!

A great place to eat. I can't really say anything bad, unfortunately the food just wasn't to my taste. The service is definitely worth the price of the food.

High quality food and also some organic items such as: B. Beer and sometimes the salmon. But unfortunately it is not possible to reserve a table, which makes planning your visit to the restaurant more difficult. In addition, most of the seating is at large tables with no backrests on the benches, hence 4/5 stars for the ambience.

We went as a large group, without a reservation, they treated us very well, the portions are large, the sushi was very good! I recommend it!!

Best duck I’ve ever had. A bit pricey, but tasty.

Invited to Michael and Mandy's birthday☀️ Very good, pleasant, friendly atmosphere and the food was excellent Great staff and very friendly We'd love to come back Merci Tres Bien also the whole team Jacques and Yvonne

The food tasted good, but was too oily and in my opinion not appropriate for the price (butterfish). Here you apparently benefit a lot from tourists who don't look too closely. The portions seem very large at first glance (due to the huge plates and bowls), but the actual contents are very manageable.

Super tasty, freshly prepared, but has a slightly higher price.

Great food, nice staff. We'd love to come back. 🥰

Delicious food, but not cheap. Great ambience and very friendly service.

Food very tasty. Drinks too. The music was too loud for us and not suitable for a Vietnamese restaurant.

The food is quite expensive, but you get really large portions for the money, which means the price-performance ratio is good. The quality of the food was really impressive, especially the meat and sushi. The service was very nice and accommodating. The only thing is that the music is a bit too loud and it's hard to hold a conversation. Otherwise a successful mix of high-quality food with a nice and casual atmosphere as well as very good service

Tasty food but quite expensive. A 0.3l cola from a glass bottle with a straw for €4.30 is already sporty.

Spectacular and my 5 stars in everything, I think there is nothing more I can say. Don't miss it Only one negative point that is important to me. I don't speak German and they don't have a menu in English, which is quite common in Germany.

A Disappointing Dining Disaster at Chi Keng My recent visit to Chi Keng was an utter disappointment and left a sour taste in my mouth, and it wasn’t just from the food. While the dishes served were passable, the real problem arose at the time of payment. We requested separate bills, a fairly standard practice, but this seemingly simple request threw the staff into a state of confusion and irritation. The atmosphere quickly shifted as what appeared to be the manager began to split our bill with visible frustration and anger. The entire process was uncomfortable and unnecessarily tense. It felt as if we were imposing on the staff by asking them to accommodate a basic customer service request. This not only dampened our spirits but completely overshadowed the entire dining experience. To add insult to injury, upon reviewing my bill, I discovered that I was overcharged by 8 euros. This blatant oversight—or perhaps intentional overcharge—was the final nail in the coffin for my patronage at Chi Keng. I am appalled by the lack of professionalism and courtesy displayed by the management. It's clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority at this establishment. I would strongly advise against visiting Chi Keng. There are plenty of other restaurants where your business and requests will be treated with respect and grace. Save your money and your evening by dining elsewhere. --------- A disappointing food disaster at Chi Keng My recent visit to Chi Keng Restaurant was a complete disappointment and left a bitter aftertaste that didn't just come from the food.

Easy to reach on Luisenplatz, modern facilities, friendly staff. At tables on the sidewalk there is considerable noise from traffic speeding past. I found the baked duck on salad boring, but the black vanilla ice cream as dessert was delicious. CONCLUSION: WORTH A SECOND VISIT.

In the end it was quite expensive for me. The food was good but we were really unlucky with the service. A pity.

Criticism from another review on Google originally adopted: "Due to a legal complaint that reached me via Google, I deleted my original review. In my subjective, personal feeling, this is not a good way to deal with criticism. It is proven that I was in the location on August 5th, 2023, which disappointed me compared to previous visits from a long time ago." That's exactly what happened to me and I should have either deleted my review or submitted my personal details. This with the law firm threatening to sue me for making false statements. That's really not a good way to deal with criticism. I also have witnesses to the visit to the restaurant.

The Chi Keng has a negative criticism (poor service, overly salty food, broken dishes, price-performance level not right) warned by a lawyer and threatens to take civil action. If you follow the reviews here, there seems to be a system behind it to deal with unpopular reviews. It's a shame that you deal with criticism like this. The original review is therefore no longer available. No recommendation.

For my taste, the prices here are far too expensive and not appropriate for the food. the portions are large. Unfortunately I can't write more about it here.

We went here for lunch and had duck, two soups and a silken toffee curry. Everything was incredibly delicious. Perfectly seasoned flavors. The duck was really crispy and extremely tender at the same time. Friendly service. An absolute recommendation!

Even before, I thought that there were long tables and chairs that had to sit together. It was like a canteen in a factory. But the food was always tasty and good quality. Well then..... I'm sorry to honestly say this as a regular customer for over 7 years because the food is more expensive compared to the quality. Although the plates are large, the portions are much smaller than before. I'm never leaving again...😌 A great compliment the toilet was clean and smelled of flowers. 👍

I've known Chi Keng since 2015 and thought it was great back then. But what I experienced 3 days ago was incredibly bad. The sushi was loveless and inedible. The prices are absolutely disproportionate to the inferior quality that was offered. It's a shame, I had such good memories of a stylish and outstanding restaurant. Spring rolls for €15, just a disappointment. The quality does not match the restaurant's standards in any way. It's a shame but not recommended.

Very good food but for me there is more to a successful evening. The prices have risen considerably and are no longer in proportion to the service. In Chang-da there is only one kumquat instead of 3-4, but more ice cream. The three of you are seated at a table for two so that as many people as possible can be accepted. My girlfriend and I got the starter, my boyfriend had to watch. His came as we were getting our main course. Afterwards we were asked if we wanted anything else... yes, the main course for my friend, for which he then had to wait another 15 minutes. No apologies for that, a fly in the food and the bad service don't work at all. We won't be going there again, even though the food is always delicious. March 24: Even better now is the threat from a lawyer that I should delete the review! Haven't found anything that violates review guidelines. Maybe just invest the energy in improvements instead of hiring a lawyer? I was there with two witnesses who can confirm this at any time and when it comes to general restaurant reviews, these are points that have been bothering many visitors for years. For me, this restaurant is now gone forever anyway. Just keep it up, there will always be a few tourists. Top!!!

I found the quality so-so - but the prices oh ha

Always my pleasure. Super tasty sushi. 😋 As everywhere in the catering industry, the prices here have increased since the last visit.

Delicious. Portions are almost too big. At first I thought what kind of prices, but considering the portions it was really reasonable.

Clear recommendation! Delicious!

There is no need to write much about this restaurant, it is part of life Addendum 2024: the prices are outrageous! Greed has struck here. Incredible. Haven't been here for 2 years

Excellent service and great food!
