Element Five - Vegan Tapas Bar in Berlin

We went to the restaurant by chance. Were very positively surprised. The food was freshly prepared. The service was very accommodating. Thank you

I think this is probably the best Asian restaurant I've eaten at, regardless of the fact that it's vegan!

Super tasty tapas and main courses... ...highly recommended.

The food was once again very tasty. However, I found 4 things to be unpleasant: 1. The waitress was obviously on her cell phone all the time and did not notice the guests' order requests, 2. The food that was served to us incorrectly was still billed for, even though it was a mistake on the part of the restaurant, 3. We It was not pointed out that only cash payment was possible on that day (up to now we always paid with a card there), 4. A receipt for entertainment could not be issued with several excuses. (We were put off until “next time.”) All in all, unfortunately, a day that won't bring us back there again.

The food is super delicious! Unfortunately the service wasn't good. Card payment and receipt were not possible, but we only found out when we wanted to pay - luckily we had enough cash with us. Something went wrong when ordering, we received a dish that we hadn't ordered. The waitress admitted that this had gone wrong on her part, brought the new dish and asked if we wanted to keep the other one. We agreed to that. I know from other restaurants that if something goes wrong, the restaurant pays for it if they make a mistake and the wrong dish is then free - otherwise it will be thrown away anyway. Unfortunately things were different here, we had to pay for the dish we didn't order - unfortunately this was only communicated when we were checking out. The service was generally not good, the person was busy with his cell phone the whole time and wasn't attentive at all. Conclusion: Delicious food, good service looks different in my opinion.

Great service, very good food. Even the lunch menu is filling and varied.

I wil highly recommend here service and the food nice when my phone no battery the staff will give the me the cable I feel warm

I was actually very enthusiastic about the delicious dishes, but I have to agree with the few bad reviews - I couldn't keep the food down for long and I suffered from gastrointestinal problems for two days.

We had a big group of 8 on a Sat night and the food was outstanding! The spring rolls dumplings and corn dog and iced coffee was all standouts!

Nothing special to be honest and unfortunately. Food is okay, but nothing really to do with proper Asian taste, service is there, but you don’t have Ambiente or the filling people are happy to welcome you as a guest, the best is probably the interior with the space where you can take off your shoes and sitting on the floor. Wouldn’t recommend it, there are a lot of better places around. Low light - no body told us, that you can’t pay with credit card, so just EC or cash, so we were paying PayPal.

Amazing food but sometimes takes quite a while. Dreaming of the sweet potato glass noodles 🫶

The best wonton I’ve ever eaten, easily the best vegan food in Berlin. Be aware they don’t take Visa cards, only cash.

Were there with a larger group. Depending on the dish, the taste of the food ranged from “mhh delicious to mhh not even that good” and everything was there. Service was a bit confusing but always tried hard. Price - performance 🔝

One of my absolute favorite shops, it's so delicious!!!

Probably best Asien Kirchen in Kreuzberg. Go there and enjoy 💫😊

We had a great vegan meal at Element 5 restaurant in Berlin. Many plant based options, quick service and well priced. We definitely recommend this place.

I have food poisoning, I mainly ate mushrooms don't go!!!!!

Very, very tasty food and very friendly staff. Thank you very much !

Great vegan Vietnamese tapas. Very good service and nice location. Highly recommended!

Great combination of vegan and Vietnamese cuisine. Great idea to offer it as tapas. This way you can feast on the menu with several people 🐛. The atmosphere inside seems very authentic. Outside, stop at Kreuzberg.

Super delicious, also suitable for allergy sufferers. Great idea with the Vietnamese tappas.

We loved our tapas at Element Five — so much variety and full of flavour! The dishes were clearly made with fresh, quality ingredients, and the sauces were all delicious. Special mention for the sweet staff who were really polite, and served us quickly :)

The food was to die for and the service was great!

Authentic atmosphere and very friendly staff. Vietnamese food with a vegan twist. Can really recommend the bites as a shared dining experience!

Super nice, very tasty and cozy! 5*!

I had an upset stomach for a long time after eating here once. I decided to never eat in an Asian restaurant again after this experience. I posted a 1-star review about it on Google Maps, which they had removed citing "defamation". This is not fair. On this website, they don't allow the posting of 1-star reviews. I can't recommend anyone eating in a place which I now consider dangerous, and I think that I have the right to post my experience as a consumer, as well as warn other naive people.

Element Five is a pan-Asian vegan tapas restaurant similar to 1990 Vegan Living, albeit just a couple shades away in quality from their Friedrichshain neighbors. We ordered about 5-6 small dishes at a reasonable price & the meal arrived quickly. Service was friendly but curt & it would have been helpful to have been recommended another rice dish in addition to what we already ordered. I personally enjoyed everything we ate, my partner was a little less enthused on a handful of items. Overall I give the food a 4.25/5 & service about the same. Now - if you’re not from Berlin, it’s important to take note that this restaurant is situated on the northwest corner of Gorlitzer Park & the mix of humanity that will approach you while you’re trying to have dinner is good people to say the least!

Five of us ate there. The food was delicious, but everyone had severe stomach cramps and diarrhea afterwards.

Never again!!! The food tasted really good! Only if everything comes out again after half an hour, something is wrong. I'm not exactly the most sensitive, but that was unpleasant. And with all my companions too. So I can't recommend it under any circumstances unless you feel like detoxing with the help of food poisoning.

Another great meal!!! My fav vegan restaurant in Berlin

Very tasty food, very friendly staff and absolutely fair prices.

The food here is excellent. They really know how to do vegan food. Drinks were freshly made and interesting. We enjoyed it and intended to return on our next trip. We probably will but perhaps not. The down side came on paying. Turns out they only take an EC card, whatever that is. They insisted we either leave ID or one of us stays behind whilst the other goes to the cash point. The nearest cash point charges. No way would either of us leave ID in this day and age so the only option was for one of us to go looking. It was about 10:30pm, we’re both woman and we’re in a city we don’t know. So, it was a crumby end to a good meal. No tip as spent it on the cash machine charges. Had we been made aware of the payment option then we would have both withdrawn cash, together, before sitting down.

What a super nice tent. Delicious food for a very reasonable price. We only received the food before the drinks, something had gone wrong.

The food was incredibly disappointing. The dishes lacked flavor and authenticity, with everything tasting bland and uninspired. The ingredients seemed stale and of poor quality. As if that wasn't bad enough, shortly after dining, I experienced severe stomach discomfort that quickly escalated to full-blown food poisoning. I spent the next day feeling miserable and regretting my decision to eat there.

Very nice vegan good! Perfect for sharing! You won't go wrong!

I didn't like the food or the atmosphere here. It's a little fishy. I ordered a dish that was supposed to come with a "creamy avocado-spinach sauce", which meant that it was soaked in a green liquid smelling like chemicals and extremely, extremely salty.

The four of us ate our way through a number of appetizers. Was great. I can especially recommend the corn dogs. The service was also very nice. 👍

Great food, either in tapas form or as a full meal. Fair prices! Everything vegan and delicious!

Super delicious food. I didn't know the tapas concept with Asian dishes before, great! In the photo are the Korean Corndog and the number 50 (if I remember correctly^^).

Great discovery in Berlin. Very good quality vegan and Asian tapas bar, it gives the impression that it is truly homemade and traditional cuisine. The restaurant inside is beautiful, and has a nice terrace to enjoy the good weather. Two of us have eaten a lot of food for 40 euros, which in my opinion is very good. Pleasant and attentive staff. We will definitely be back soon, thank you very much

Vegan Tapas sounded promising, but it's essentially the standard prefab Asian grub you get everywhere but packaged as tapas style portions. Cheap and mediocre. You get what you pay for.

You are simply a highlight every time!💚

Worst experience I’ve had in Berlin in 3 years. The waiter was so rude and disrespectful. I’ve worked in Service and this is not good. The mansplaining, passive aggressiveness attitude he had makes me never want to go back to this place.

Überhebliches und unfreundliches Verhalten des Chefs! Meine, im 9. Monat schwanger Frau, hätte dort gern die Toilette aufgesucht. Aus Höflichkeit fragte sie ob sie die Toilette benutzen dürfe und wurde direkt wieder hinaus geschickt. Als ich nachfragte was das Problem sei, sagte mir der Geschäftsführer es sei kein Notfall und die Toilette nur für Kunden, und sie hätte zuhause auf Klo gehen sollen! Solche Leute wollen wir hier nicht, kann ja sein das dass Kind hier auf die Welt kommt… Danke für garnichts!

Super delicious food and drinks combined with an amazing service.

Very tasty food with a large selection. For smaller groups it is really pleasant and fun to share the food. Unfortunately, the portions are a bit small, which I noticed especially with the vegan duck. But for me it’s an absolute must-go for vegan life in Berlin.

Every single dish was delicious. Perfectly balanced flavours and great portion sizes. Non-vegans would enjoy the food here immensely because it’s so delicious. Bring cash as they only accept local bank cards. We ate here twice in three days because we enjoyed it so much. We shared 1 large bowl and split 4/5 small bowls and were suitably satisfied - each visit including a drink each cost 40/45 euro. Staff very pleasant and this place deserves to be on the map! When we visit Berlin again we’ll be back!

Cole location The most delicious sauces, culinary delights

"Stepping into Element Five, I was immediately transported to an enchanting world of flavors and aromas. This Asian tapas restaurant surpassed all my expectations and undoubtedly deserves the highest praise. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was captivating, with its elegant décor and inviting atmosphere. The staff greeted me warmly, and their attentiveness throughout the meal was exceptional. Now, let's talk about the food – an absolute delight for the senses. Each tapa was a culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with authentic Asian flavors. From the delicate sushi rolls to the tantalizing dumplings, every bite was a revelation. What truly set this restaurant apart was its commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The dishes were not only delicious but also showcased a thoughtful balance of textures and flavors. Moreover, the creativity of the menu was impressive, offering a diverse selection of vegan options that catered to every palate. It was evident that the chefs put a lot of passion and skill into crafting each dish. In summary, Element Five is a gem in the world of Asian cuisine. It's the perfect destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary experience. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their exquisite offerings."

Can't say anything about the food (but would have liked to try it) - but when asked if I could go to the toilet with my small child: 1 euro! I even got a voucher for it at Sanifair. Not very people friendly...

Such a huge variety of options, good prices and super cozy interior. Especially loved the dumplings steamed in banana leaves🔥

Great selection of vegan dishes, very carefully prepared, vegetables partly raw or lightly cooked, deliciously seasoned. Homemade lemonade is served without sugar, 5 points for that! Service friendly and very fast. The store is clean and minimalistic. I felt it was a bit cold, especially on my feet.

Been here a few times and it never disappoints. The staff is very friendly and I like the atmosphere inside, makes me feel back in Vietnam!

The food here is really delicious, there are a lot of different dishes. So there should be something for everyone. Furthermore, you don't have to wait long for the food. The only criticism: it is very dark in some corners of the restaurant. So it might be difficult for some people to read the map.

delicious food, fair prices, everything was great!

No words. No caption needed. Thanks for the experience 🙏🏻

I wasn't excited about a vegan place for lunch ... but this was amazing. Everything was so flavorful and beautifully presented. So delicious. Would go again.

Food was better here. The fact that everything is vegan now (including coffee) isn't really my thing either.

Crispy duck and the rice are fine!

The food is absolutely delicious, yet affordable and the service was truly heartwarming. Pak Choy was my absolute favorite.

Incredible vegan tapas, we took about 10 different things which was way too much for 2 people but they all tasted amazing.

The food was very tasty! Especially the tapas bowls for around €4. After 2 bowls you are actually already full. You could write the order yourself on a piece of paper and didn't have to wait so long for the food. In addition, the ambience was very pleasant due to the relaxed music and the furnishings. All in all very recommendable!

The concept is reminiscent of Transit, but completely vegan. Also a little more classic than the Transit. We only had the tapas and after 4 plates (€4.80 each) and a portion of rice each, we were more than full. The dishes came quickly and were partly tasty, partly okay. There were a lot of fried dishes in the selection.

The service was amazing, they were super nice, the place is cute, the food was delicious But then I got home and started throwing up, developed a fever so severe I woke up drenched in sweat, slept for like 3 days straight, and now have giant migraines :( That was the only place I ate from that day so I know it's from that. :( it made me super super sick.

Actually just really good vegan food. Highly recommended.

Soooo delicious! Vegan lunch for 7.20 euros. Very large portions and still top quality. THANK YOU👍

The tapas concept is implemented in very good quality. Fine sauces, good selection and above all: the vegan cheese (Korean Corn Dog) is fantastic. I thought he wasn't vegan. Never had such good vegan cheese.

For a vegitarian, this is the place to be. A very large variation of dishes. All very tasty!

Asian fusion usually means you are in culinary trouble, and this place is even vegan - but do not despair, the food is amazing! My favourite vegan/vegetarian places citywide at the moment, it has plenty of delicious dishes in a broad range of creative approaches to replace the meat. The bandwidth and the playfulness are too vast to go into details, just pop by and try. Prices are low to mid range for Berlin 2024, there is a lunch menu with a discount. Service is actually friendly, yet Vietnamese- German. Depending on which part of the world you are from you might misunderstand this particular cultural brew;)

atmosphere is really cozy with calm music, food came really fast and was good! prices are fair.

The food is very tasty, nicely served, friendly service, good atmosphere, value for money! Unfortunately very loud in the evenings, acoustics...

Food was really good! Quite nice atmosphere. Prices a little too high for the “amount” of food (tapas!). For 2 people it is necessary to at least order 6 tapas + side dish in order to get satisfied. Service was meh… they brought the food and did not come back even though we wanted to order more…

Sehr schöner Ort, mit super leckeren Tapas. Das Element Five ist gut zu erreichen und eine typische Tapas Bar in Berlin. Die Auswahl empfinde ich als angenehm, aber nicht übertrieben. Wir haben sehr schnell etwas für uns gefunden und waren vom frittieren "Shrimp" total begeistert! Auch die Getränke waren sehr lecker und lange warten mussten wir nicht. Das Restaurant ist groß und wirkt authentisch, im unteren Bereich gibt es sogar die Möglichkeit auf dem Boden an den Tischen zu sitzen wenn man das möchte. Wir haben es aber insgesamt als recht dunkel empfunden. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und es gibt sowohl eine englische als auch eine deutsche Speisekarte. Auch meine nicht vegane aber sehr offene Begleitung war sehr zufrieden und wir sind satt und glücklich aus dem Restaurant gegangen.

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant mit sehr leckeren Essen und supper netten Service. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Gemütliche Atmosphäre, aufmerksamer Service. Essen war sehr gut und authentisch. Mal was anderes

Mein lieblings Restaurant neben mein Arbeitsplatz. Mittags Angebot ist super, essen super lecker, original und gesund. Die Service sind frendlich, nett und einfach. Ich komme hier jede Woche für die Suppe und Reisgericht.

Sehr gutes, durchweg veganes Essen mit frischen Zutaten. Bemerkenswert, was in der veganen Küche alles gezaubert wird. Freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Das Essen ist rasch fertig, die Preise ok.

„Fleischimitate“ selbst für Berliner Verhältnisse außergewöhnlich gut, am besten fanden wir die Seitan-Variationen. Service etwas unaufmerksam, aber schnell. Zugig (besser warm anziehen).

The food is often things I'm not used to and very delicious. It's a charming interior and kind service. They are amazing.

Amazing spot. Very friendly staff, really special and tasty food, all vegan :) We had a lovely dinner here and will definitely come back in the future!

De los mejores restaurantes en los que hemos comido en nuestro viaje a Berlin. Vegano, muchas opciones sin gluten, servicio rápido y sencillo y la comida estaba riquisima. El ambiente muy cuidado. Nos encantó

We chose the restaurant ‚Element Five - Vegan Tapas Bar‘ for our dinner, since we were looking for some tasty Asian food. The service was super quick and the food very tasty. The restaurant offers a vide variety of dishes and the tapas concept is great! As we were a group of four people, we were able to try many different dishes. If you are in Berlin, definitely a must try!

Manchmal schreibe ich absichtlich keine google Rezension weil etwas so gut ist, dass es mir lieber wäre, es bliebe ein Geheimtipp. In dem Fall ist das so. Das Element Five ist für mich das beste vegane Restaurant in Berlin derzeit. Es ist das einzige asiatische Restaurant, in dem ich Tofu, Seitan usw. esse. Die Tapas sind zum verlieben. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Man bestellt mit einem Zettel und Stift wie beim Sushi bestellen, auch das liebe ich. Die Tees sind toll. Es gibt einen Bereich, wo man auf dem Teppichboden sitzen kann. Die Preise sind angemessen. Das alles soll nicht bedeuten, dass es jedermanns Sache wäre. Ich könnte hier jetzt ein paar Sachen kritisieren, die andere vielleicht nicht so gut fänden. Für mich gehören die aber dazu und machen den Teil des Charmes aus. Das Essen ist jedenfalls fantastisch.

Wow, it would be hard to explain this place in words, it's the most delicious food we've ever eaten, we came back day after day during our stay in Berlin, all the dishes are insanely delicious, we couldn't stop talking about the duck and the shrimp, do yourself a favor and order twice in advance because it's absolutely perfect, all the food we ordered Accurate in taste, the prices are great, this is truly our favorite place and it is a must stop in Berlin

A fantastic menu of vegan dishes, great for sharing. Many of the dishes were delicious however a few lacked flavour (some of the dim sum and seitan dishes). However, i would still recommend the restaurant. To pay it is cash only, or a specific DE card (no visa) and the reciepts arent vat friendly.

Extrem lecker gegessen. Die selbst gemixten Drinks sind auch ein Highlight, empfehle Avocado-Kokos. Sehr freundliche Bedienung, schönes Ambiente, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

What a great restaurant! It had a cozy interior, many delicious vegan options, and friendly service. We kept ordering more because it was just too good (the vegan prawns were my favourite). Definitely recommend :)

Went with my friend,and will visit again,amazing food,great for sharing option

every dish ordered was awesome, corn dog, vegan duck and shrimps being my faves. each trip to Berlin I'll be making sure to give them a visit

The food is super tasty, staff was nice and the atmosphere is simple and cosy. My favourite was the cheesy Korean corn dog (Dance dance dance) 👍

Wir haben dort mit 16 Personen einen Geburtstag gefeiert und die Kellner:innen haben es uns sehr gemütlich gemacht. Das gesamte Essen kam zügig und war außerordentlich lecker. Es gab sogar ein Geburtstagsgeschenk aufs Haus. 5 von 5 Sternen. 🙃

Every single dish was above expectations, so good!

Mehrere Personen hatten Magenschmerzen und Durchfall :(

Leckeres Essen hat einen wunderschönen Tag abgeschlossen

Best vegan in Berlin. Tastes full of flavours, decent portions, quality vegetables not just cabbages but carrots, spinach, mushrooms and other high quality veg. Soups, wok food all with amazing flavours

Ein wirklich angenehmer Ort, um allein, zu zweit oder in einer Gruppe zu essen. Die Getränkeauswahl ist super - alkoholisch, alkoholfrei, selbstgemacht etc. - und die Auswahl an Speisen ist ebenso klasse. Die Speisekarte enthält ein Bild von jeder wählbaren Speise, was es auch dann einfach macht, wenn man die Gerichte nicht kennt. Man kann bar und mit Karte zahlen.

Good was really good, but the service... Someone needs to teach those guys to smile, respond, not be rude and actually love the job

Die Bedienung war sehr unfreundlich. Das Essen war ok, aber viel zu viel Glutamat!!!! Hört nicht auf die Influencer zu..

I got food poisining from here today. I don't recommend it at all.

Das Essen war super und vom Preis leistungsverhältnis wirklich top! Sehr sehr freundliche Kellnerin. Die Tapasgerichte sind auch sehr gut für zwei Personen zum teilen. Außerdem gibt es gute Verbindungen der öffnetlichen Verkehrsmittel zum Restaurant. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
