Đistrict Một – Saigon Street Food in Berlin

Overpriced. Banh mi was flavourless. Restaurant is filthy. Bottom of the table was covered in brown sauce which stained our pants. Bowl of chilis they gave us was full of mold. Really bad experience.

The food is very good, prices okay. The service leaves a lot to be desired, very unfriendly. Incorrectly delivered food will be taken back and exchanged without a word.

I came here for lunch recently, and while the food was good, the atmosphere left something to be desired. One thing that stood out to me was how the manager interacted with the staff. At one point, I noticed the boss speaking quite harshly to the team in front of customers, which created an uncomfortable environment. The staff were doing their best, but you could tell they weren’t being treated with respect. As a customer, it’s disheartening to see employees being talked down to—it affects the whole dining experience. The food might bring people in, but the way a place is run impacts whether or not I’d return.

Burnt rice tasted too crispy and a little hard for me, but it was a great experience. I like the vegetables and pork dish that goes with it. I ordered a yummy dessert. They gave these seeds to munch while waiting for the dish. What I found weird was the bathroom tissue instead of napkins. 😆 overall, it was an excellent experience!

I’ve ordered always the same dish at this place which comes with pumpkin and sweet potatoes. This time for some reason the plate was full of tofu with no sign of the other two ingredients. I’ve mentioned this to the waitress. Instead of coming with a solution, he argued back mentioning that the dish has never come with those two ingredients. I told him I always order the same, therefore I know, but he rudely insisted this has never been part of that dish. The quality of this place and the service has definitely go down. Not really a great experience for the price.

Great experience! There are also more unusual foods here such as frog legs or goose tongues. In addition, of course, there is also authentic Vietnamese food such as Pho or Ban Mi. Everything is very tasty. And the prices are okay, not particularly cheap, but reasonable.

10/10, worth it, I recommend it! The best pho I've ever eaten. Cash only.

We had to return one of the dishes because it was unfortunately already old. The soup was okay, but nothing earth-shattering. And the price on the outside was on the other side of the menu.

The most authentic place I've yet eaten at in Berlin. True, the staff doesn't understand me, but that makes the experience even more authentic for me. Loved the pho soup, lemonade and really special burgers! Definitely worth a try if you want a different burger, it doesn't even cost much more than a typical Berlin burger!

First of all, I really like the streetfood like snack here but it is a bit expensive. But it is still ok as they are all special. However, the main dishes like Pho was very bland like they forgot to season it. I have heard good things about this restaurant so I decided to give it a try. At the moment I stepped inside I did not feel welcomed which was very sad. During and at the end of the meal I was not asked how they were. If they had asked me, I would have told the feedback. The decoration was good and retro but it has not been cleaned for a long time so I could see spider web everywhere.

Worst restaurant I’ve ever been to. Greeted upon arrival to an unfriendly host, when we ordered the wrong dish by accident, the servers said, ‘We don’t care what you ordered’ and continued to ignore us by putting the dish on our table. Worst service I’ve experienced in my life. Only thing good about the restaurant was the decor.

Excellent food! Lovely service! Ever and ever again!

Great experience again. We have been here several times.

Fast and smiling service. The food tasted really good and came quickly.

Unfriendly operator. Can't eat at all. Unfortunately

Very good food, service, and vibe!

Food was good! Service very rude. Pushed my girlfriend's hand away after she wanted to show something on the menu after a misunderstanding. Too bad. Definitely brought the experience down. Food was good, but as I said, service was unfriendly since entering the restaurant.

Absolute tourist trap, the Pho was completely random and the curry was cold. Prices are overpriced and the service is poor. When we pointed out the cold food, there was no apology but rather accusations as to why we didn't tell them straight away. Wow - thanks for nothing.

I haven't experienced such unfriendly and unmotivated employees in a long time. You can't speak of service. The pho was very sad and the banh mi had little to do with a banh mi. All the Vietnamese restaurants down the street offer more and indicate in good time how to pay

Summary: good beef pho with ok service in a stuffy Vietnamese street food style atmosphere at a fair price Best dish: pho with beef Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): + pho with beef: nice flavor of the beef, a bit on the fatty side but that also makes it nice and tender; soup base was well-seasoned but i have had better; unfortunately they just toss the lime into the soup, which makes it hard to squeeze it and I almost burned my fingers, normally you receive it on the side; noodles are nice with a good bite and as far as i read homemade - ordered the beef rare which didn’t work out Service: = ok, but not noteworthy; stood up to pay to make it faster Price: + fair price for value for the lunch pho at €9.4 Atmosphere: - too stuffy with a bit of a bad smell inside - a bit dirty = sitting on plastic stools adds to the street food style atmosphere, but for a longer meal it’s not comofortable My rating system - I focus on the food first and foremost. I aim to be truthful and try not to be biased by friendly service or other circumstances. 5*: excellent - I am rigorous in handing out 5* ratings 4*: good 3*: ok 2*: bad 1*: terrible

The food was maybe worthy of an award 3 years ago, now it tastes like microwave fras (the “grilled spare ribs”), the pho soup makes instant ramen better, apart from the fact that the beef is more suitable for chewing muscle training than for consumption . The only thing tasty about the Young Bun Burger was the coleslaw, the tofu and the bread was tasteless and boringly unseasoned. The waiter was taciturn and unmotivated, as if his parents had forced him to do so. The ambience is flooded with incense sticks (which wouldn't be a bad thing), but every now and then there's a bit of toilet smell. You enter the toilets through a thick, disgusting carpet. In addition, they are dirty and/or not lockable. (women's toilet) However, they do justice to the Asian street food style with the plastic stools. (Which is the only reason for the 2nd star)

Atmosphere and food weren't bad 👍🏻

Don’t be put off by this restaurant being cash-only - it’s well worth the detour to the cash machine! Food was divine: so tasty and fresh, and the service was speedy and faultless. Definitely recommend getting the homemade iced tea, we had to order seconds of this! We will definitely be back!

Very nice and lovingly Vietnamese styled restaurant, like in Saigon on the street. Small selection of food and rather expensive. Lots of burger dishes, I had eaten more varied and better in Saigon.

Very pleasant and very tasty. Beautiful women in the café next door to examine.

Service top! Quality of the food wow! Unbeatably delicious!

Firstly, and most importantly they are cash only! It would have been good to know that they are cash only when we arrived - they didn’t tell us when we sat down. Luckily we had enough cash for our party but you could easily get caught out. Pork and egg starter was delicious but it would be better if it was a main and came with rice. I got the half chicken with rice and it was very generous serving. Probably would have fed two! Service was fine. They had a dog in the restaurant that barked at one of our party when they went the wrong way to the toilet.

If I could give zero stars I would. Unfortunately very rude and unfriendly staff. Do not come here with children, they are treated as a burden here. Food quality and taste is below average. Do yourself the favor and go to a different Vietnamese restaurant. RESPONSE: Your reply is a proof of your rudeness. The moment we entered the restaurant, your staff gave us rude looks and all staff behavior point to the fact that children are DEFINITELY NOT welcomed at your restaurant. Just for you review readers: we have a 5 year old who quietly sat down at the table and a one year old who „dared“ to take a napkin and a chopstick to play with. There you go. I guess in the Vietnamese culture an authoritative „Erziehungsstil“ is still prevalent. Poor human beings who probably were never allowed to be children and were made to sit still and be quiet all day. That’s why we have war, because of all the unprocessed childhood traumas. But that’s another story ; )

Banging restaurant, great food, awesome drinks and lovely atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.

Food was great service was terrible waiter was rude for no reason :(

Had a great group dinner here and we were very well looked after by our waiter Minh!

Minh was amazing — we were with a group of 12 and had a delicious dinner. Thank you so much for a great evening!

Can't think of a better host than Ming. Outstanding food and incredible service. One for the books.

Pho was reallly goood and the drink too! I forgot thw name but its a signature drink. For payment though they only accept cash or paypal

Love the taste of Asia in Berlin!

Great place, great food and great service 🍻😀

The waiter has very rude behavior. Last time I was very satisfied so I would like to come back to the store with my friend. But all I got was disappointment. He obviously threw the chili in my face and it was missing from my dish even though I ordered Vietnamese. Maybe Vietnamese didn't understand Vietnamese at all, right? :) I waited 30 minutes and I didn't get an apology at all :) Of course no tip. Disaster. Never again

Experience your senses of taste in a new way🥰Cám on

Super!! Very fast and a lot of choice. Nice to visit with a group of 8 people.

Best spring rolls in Berlin! Absolutely recommended :)

Don't listen to those who say it sucks because it's one of the best Asian restaurants in Berlin!

Excellent food and great service!

Cosy place, good food & friendly service

Great food and really nice service :). Highly recommended.

The restaurant has a strong Saigon, Vietnamese feel. Good food, good service. Will definitely come back 😊

The food is very tasty, I was impressed with the broken rice dish. The staff is very enthusiastic. will come back

Very tasty authentic Vietnamese cuisine! The staff is very friendly and the food comes quickly. It tastes very good and as a Vietnamese I have to say it's great! Any time!

super authentic and tasty Vietnamese food

Food was good but if you like to eat in a clean environment where it doesn't smell like urine, you definitely need to go somewhere else. The service was so bad that I can't recommend anyone to eat here. The fact that you can only pay in cash doesn't make it any better...

The best Vietnamese restaurant we’ve been to outside Vietnam! Excellent Pho, Banh Xeo, Banh Mi, actually everything was great. So good that we repeated the next day.

The food is excellent! Authentic Vietnam. And apart from the food, the best thing is the friendly staff. We will repeat for sure.

Amazing place, amazing food, authentic Asian experience, Doan and the other guys on the staff were super nice! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic place, accessible to everyone. Friendly waiters, helpful and also quick to serve. Really good single dishes, especially the frog legs boiled in sauce. It feels like eating in a family-run Vietnamese restaurant, and the price for the quality and quantity they serve is really low.

First experience in Berlin and what a start………Amazing all round

I have been here something like 10 hears ago I it was love, after 10 year I came back and I got the same quality and same vibe. One of my favourite place in Berlin.

The best rice noodles!!!! The best Texture and flavors! This “pad thai” Saigon Style was AMAZING!!!! The Xin Xao mocktail was also perfect! ❤️👏👏🙄🙄

Amazing, we orders three starters and 2 main dishes! We let the waiter decide our food. He made some great choices ⭐️

Nice food, we got bbq and it is good Qualität and a lot. Will come again

The food tastes great! Service was great too! We'd love to come back!🙂‍↕️🥰

Unusual cool restaurant - very tasty food & nice service ☺️

Amazing service and the taste super delicious plus super dog friendly!!!! I eat here at least once a week since years ago! Must try!

This Vietnamese restaurant is a charming spot that attracts visitors with its vibrant, flowery, and colorful design, creating a cheerful summer atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxed meal. The decor adds a refreshing touch. The drinks are quite enjoyable, but the food, while decent, is more on the average side. However, the speedy service is a big plus, especially if you’re in a hurry. It’s an ideal place for a quick and convenient stop during your shopping tour along Rosenthaler Straße. Whether you are grabbing a bite or just soaking in the lively ambiance, it is worth a visit.

Delicious food. Good service and price. Recommend 😍

absolute recommendation! Super cozy, lovingly furnished and the food was really great! :)

Great shop! The food comes incredibly quickly and it is sooooo delicious! Absolute recommendation and it definitely wasn't the last time we were there!

Tastes like Vietnam and sometimes specialties like frog legs. Pad Thai was amazing!

We had a delicious meal here!! Luckily it wasn't busy. Friendly, helpful service.

Very tasty and also exotic things

The restaurant is perfect for families, especially if you are traveling with children. The staff is incredibly friendly and patient with the little ones. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, which immediately makes you feel at home. But the best part is the food – it’s absolutely delicious! Each dish is freshly prepared and full of authentic Vietnamese flavors. We particularly recommend the traditional dishes, which simply taste fantastic. A great place for a relaxed family meal that we will definitely visit again!

**A culinary paradise!** I had the great pleasure of visiting this exceptional Vietnamese restaurant and I can only rave! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. As soon as you enter you immediately feel at home. The food is simply heavenly! The grilled pork ribs with rice is an absolute must - the ribs are perfectly seasoned, juicy and tender, and the rice is wonderfully fluffy. The Singapore frog congee also blew me away. The frog is tender and full of flavor, and the texture of the congee is creamy and incredibly satisfying. And the crayfish! Absolutely fantastic! The preparation was perfect - the crabs were fresh, aromatic and a real highlight of the evening. I can highly recommend this restaurant. Every bite was a delight, and the service was exceptional. If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in a friendly and cozy atmosphere, you should definitely stop by here!

Delicious meal and friendly attentive service

Exciting place and it was very tasty

Great atmosphere, you feel like you're in Vietnam in the middle of Berlin

Authentic cuisine - you feel like you're in Vietnam

I ordered food, curry with tofu and it was perfect. Sauce, rice and vegetables were just the right amount! I have a 2 for 1 deal that was great!

Amazing food! Amazing service! And all for a good price! Cam an!

Great service, amazing food! Would recommend!

The food is delicious and the service is fast and good, very similar to Saigon 🥰

I have to say, it's been a long time since I've eaten good traditional cuisine from Southeast Asia. To finish there was something else that I unfortunately can't describe, but it was damn tasty. At the end there was a drink on the recommendation of the barman... that definitely wasn't the last time I was here

Super delicious food. Very nice service!

I asked nicely if I could use the toilet, the store was almost empty. But I wasn't allowed to go to the toilet. I find it a disgrace.

Food was very good, atmosphere too. Some small mistakes were made with the order, but nothing really bad. Very nice place for very good food

The food was delicious and its cheap. Definetly will come back

This is not your standard Berlin Vietnamese Restaurant. The decoration and atmosphere mimic SEA, the food was very tasty, - on the pricey side, but the location avcounts for that. The service is super speedy. They have absolutely phenomenal Tea!!!

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere.

Doan was the best waiter ever! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant!! Insanely good, like, it’s insane. So delicious. We had bahn mi classic, chicken pho, and egg froth coffee. RETURNING TOMORROW FOR MORE.

Delicious food, handsome and friendly staff. I will come back again and recommend to friends

Interesting dishes and nice authentic vibe, recommend it

Great Vietnamese food, the pho ga was on point for flavor and the other dishes were quite good. Service is to the point, fast and organized. Recommended.

The burger was a kind of sweet yeast dumpling with fish, cabbage and carrot. I haven't eaten so badly in a long time. A small portion for 11.50 euros.

Delicious street food, super nice vibes and great service. Definitely a place to go! Never disappoints!!

The food is delicious, the staff serves you warmly ❤️

A little piece of Vietnam in the middle of Berlin. Probably the most authentic Vietnamese place I’ve been to since leaving Vietnam. The atmosphere was amazing, the stools, chairs etc. Can’t point out anything that I didn’t like. We got seated almost immediately even though it was a busy Thursday evening with no reservation. Was a little overwhelmed over the menu because it had too much good stuff. Ended with a classic beef pho and a coconut and pineapple drink. Neither did disappoint. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Berlin.

A welcoming and joyous spot. Takes us straight to the streets of Vietnam. Friendly staff and thank you for the good food and drinks ✨

Super nice service and delicious food 😋

Sadly I can‘t give 10 stars for Atmosphere. Starting from the Signs to the pigs. Go there. The food is absolutely amazing.

Best meal I've had so far in 2024. The WaffleWarriorrr (and by extension every part of WaffleCorp, Hampus Christersson Studios (HCS), and all of their associates) officially endorse this restaurant. No❌ cap🧢, on👇God👼, fr fr. -Hampus Christersson

Wonderful service - the guys were very accommodating. The food was a 10/10, portion size and taste were perfect :) big recommendation!
