Mama Cook in Berlin

Un restaurant vietnamien qui propose de très bon plats avec un rapport qualité prix très bon. Comme dans beaucoup de restaurants à Berlin et en Allemagne en général il faut payer en liquide ce qui est de plus en plus compliqué pour des gens connectés et modernes

Very good food with good service. Drinks are tasty but whisky sour was not traditional whisky sour. Service was good also.

Meine Kollegin und ich sind 3 mal im Jahr beruflich in Berlin und gehen regelmäßig ins Mama Cook. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt absolut. Reklamationen werden umsichtig und freundlich angenommen. Einziger Kritik Punkt ist, dass es sehr laut und viel zu warm ist. Wir kommen gerne wieder 🫶

The food was tasty, but a bit too cramped for a restaurant, so a point was deducted.

A little gem, we went here based on its proximity to the hotel and we were not disappointed. When we arrived, the place was packed so glad we had booked a table in advance. Whilst waiting, we saw many dishes pass by us which reinforced our decision to eat here. The food was exceptional (as was the service) with a wide and varied menu. The only downside (which I wouldn’t have known without consulting Trip Advisor) was that they only accept German bank cards so we needed cash in advance

Mama Cook is a Vietnamese restaurant - with CASH ONLY (or EC Card) option. I spent an evening there, enjoying the calm atmosphere and YUMMY food. Service was FAST, staff friendly and quality of food - DELICIOUS. Pricing was also quite good. If paying in cash is not a problem, I will highly recommend that you pay this place a visit.

Ordered the red curry with chicken. Chicken strips came out tough but the red curry was unfortunate. It tasted like a watered down coconut sauce with some red color and spice - it was runny, weak in flavor and the veggie combinations didn't make much sense. The vegetables were cut in different cute shapes which add some visual flare, but I wish they spent the time it took cutting/pressing them into shape on making the food better. Also, why is a watery curry (consistency of soup) served on a shallow plate? When I took a look at the decor, things made sense - visual flare with little to back up. I'd say the positives were the vegetables were fresh. Im new to Berlin and maybe standards are different but I hope this restaurant can improve it's food.

Unfortunately, we cannot understand the good reviews. Reservations were made for 5 people, we got a table for 4. After asking, we got another 4-seater table with a slightly longer bench. When the drinks were served it was announced that there would be no more draft beer shortly after 7pm. The tapas/starters, which were deliberately ordered as the main course, were brought as starters contrary to what was ordered, so the group unfortunately ate separately. The gluten-free meal ordered due to an allergy came with fried onions and was therefore returned (this happened the same way on the last visit). The reorder of drinks initiated by us and the invoice requested later took a very long time. The service lady drew a total bill without further inquiry - when we asked for separate payment, she was visibly annoyed and made this very obvious. The service seems overwhelmed, the food was unfortunately not convincing (duck in rice paper 90% noodles/10% meat) - if necessary you should place fewer tables in the restaurant, focus on the (thus perhaps affordable) service and 2 euros more for call the courts. Really a shame!

Ate super tasty! Price performance very good! Only recommended!

Das Essen schmeckt einfach ausgezeichnet und man wird sehr zuvorkommend bedient. Auch die Preise sind völlig in Ordnung.

Service quite ok. Food mediocre. No card payment - only cash or EC. But it's the capital and 2024?!

The price is good but the food, at least the udon, is nothing out of this world for me. Not being able to pay by card also seems like a problem to me.

Unassuming Vietnamese restaurant from the outside. The dishes are very aromatic and taste good. The vegetables are on point with a bite.

We had booked a table for four people for 8 p.m. on Saturday. We got there on time, but there was no table for us. After 15 minutes something became available and there was a table in the winter garden right at the entrance. The sliding door was always open. It was cold and the smell of cigarettes constantly wafted into the room. There were blankets, but it was still uncomfortable and cold. After another 15 minutes we were able to order. It took another 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. After another 20 minutes the starters were brought to us. Visually they looked good. The sweet potato fries with mango dip were also delicious until you came across fried pieces of meat. The waiter's advice only revealed that these pieces of meat were taken from the table, but unfortunately the fries were not. There was a vegetarian among us! He was disgusted by it. There was no word of apology or compensation. As we cleared away we showed more pieces of meat. There was a “sorry,” but nothing more. By now the restaurant was emptying and we asked to sit down inside. That worked too. After the table was wiped down, there was a disgusting smell on the table top. I also noticed while we were still sitting at the door that a cutlery basket with napkins had fallen to the floor at the service station. This was saved and the napkins were put back in the basket and filled with cutlery and placed on the next table. It was now 9:30 p.m. when we got our main course. It looked appetizing, but the quality wasn't great. The noodles were completely soggy. The meat was fried to death and free of any spices. There was coriander between the noodles, which I don't like at all and which wasn't listed. I would have chosen a different dish. Everywhere (starter and main course) there was the same shredded salad on it, which wasn't served either. The food didn't convince us. Regarding the drinks, it must also be said that the Cola and the apple spritzer were almost non-carbonated. The staff was always friendly, but not really attentive. I wasn't impressed by the ambience either. Overall, we cannot agree with the positive hype. There is no recommendation from us!

Very cozy atmosphere and excellent food! Will definitely come back.

There is a good selection of delicious dishes here, also for vegetarians, for example with tofu. The lunch menu with a small starter soup is also recommended.

The beef plate was overall tasty and large. But because the beef was medium cooked, sliced in big pieces, and with plenty of fat, this turned into an impossible chewing mission. Great terrace with relaxing instrumental music and flower decorations.

Pho Bo was nice! Beware, no Mastercard or Visa.

fried rice is good , many veggies . soup of beef pho is not very rich . i think tong yum prawn soup is not acceptable?…..€5.x very clear broth with 2 pcs of frozen shrimp? i found some tong yum instant noodle has much more richer flavor..

Friendly service, even without a reservation, tried to find a free seat for us on a public holiday evening. The dishes on offer are very tasty 😋 and rich. Unfortunately the cocktails are served with too much ice (50% ice 50% drink😬).

Really tasty food, friendly staff and amazing atmosphere

Unfortunately the chicken was not fresh, so my meal with number 25 was not successful.😕

Food was quite good (Halal), unfortunately the service staff was a bit crazy, brought the wrong food and although the food (meat) is Halal, alcohol is sold. (What I didn't know beforehand)

Well, unfortunately not so friendly.

Unfriendly staff. Waste of time and money

I was there twice in a row this week as a single guest. In my opinion, you rarely come across something like this in Germany. Fast service, acceptable time until the food is on the table, super tasty food and if you want to pay it's very quick. A special greeting goes to the lovely “Chef Waitress”:) Thank you very much

The service war realy good. They have a good optin of traditional viatnamese and asian food and good Prices. Do not take international visa or mastercard so bring cash, which is the reason it get 3 and not 4 stars.

Yesterday I had dinner at Mama Cook with my best friend. I didn't like the food that much, but my best friend thought it was good. We are both students and therefore did not have the opportunity to leave tips. The service was ok until the payment. But after the waiter saw that we didn't leave a tip, he was pissed. He talked to another waitress about us in a foreign language (you could tell because they kept looking at us and talking). The waitress was very pissed afterwards and they wanted us out of the store as quickly as possible.

They are fast serving and the food is good. They don't allow you to pay by card, only cash. They report this when you are already seated at the table.

Incredibly good experience. The furnishings are very lovingly designed and the ambience is correspondingly great. The food was also amazing and very affordable in times of inflation. Price performance is top! Any time!

Very disappointing drinks. We ordered the duck teriyaki- which ironically had only 1 piece of duck. The main dishes were good.

10.90€ for fried noodles with chicken, very small portion and half of it was salad

Tasty food. Accept German's card and cash only

The reservation we had could not be kept due to space constraints. So our group of eight got separated. The reception was reasonably friendly. We were able to order drinks quickly, but unfortunately we had to wait over 40 minutes for the drinks. Even when I asked, they didn't come quicker. We placed the food straight away with the drink order, but we were able to live with the advice that it might take 20 minutes. We'd rather not start when the food actually arrived. I definitely can’t recommend the Long Iland Ice Tea…. The food was delicious.

Deliciously. Large generous portions. I just ate my fill of salad. Everything is fresh and well prepared.

Really good food but their drinks are not very good mojito they really need to work on . But the food certainly doesn't fail

I thought the food was a bit bland, maybe I was unlucky because I saw very good reviews. As for the service and atmosphere, it bothered us that it was 10:15 and they changed the lighting, like when they run you from the club (from half light to full light) to close windows, etc... everything almost on top of it, when we were still having dinner and yes Hours are until 11:00 pm, then they disappeared to ask for the bill and we were waiting for a long time. I wouldn't return.

Everything great! Super fast and very friendly service!

Delicious with friendly service.

The food was very delicious and the service was very attentive.

Professional service despite very heavy traffic, and the food and drinks delicious :)

The number of employees seemed small compared to the number of guests. I waited outside for more than 20 minutes to get a seat. The table was small and crowded with cables under the table. The worst thing was that the table shook. I asked for another table but was told several times that it was the only table available because I was alone. There were plenty of other tables. There were 2 tables for 2 people so when they were removed there was enough space for 1 person. The other table didn't have a reservation sign. They still gave me a table in the corner where it looked like the staff was eating. Disappointed that they didn't clean the table properly when clearing and didn't remove the leftover food very well. I had already wasted a lot of time and didn't know where else to go, so I ate anyway. I was traveling in Berlin and this restaurant ruined my experience. Food was okay, but for me just one visit would be enough. I recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait. In addition, you should not go “alone” to avoid being assigned a dirty, cramped table.

I do not understand how this restaurant has such high rating. We waited for our food for an hour. They were quite rude to us when we reminded them that we did not receive our order. They did not apologise. On top of that food was mediocre. Do not recommend ...

Food delicious. The service is excellent! 🤍 If I lived in Berlin, I would come back often 🤍.

Tasty and nicely furnished, only inside everything is a little cramped.

I've eaten well there several times. Very friendly and moderate prices

Lunch ruined by staff conflict, shouting made the child nervous, terrible atmosphere.

Unfortunately, we were not able to try the cuisine because the place does not accept credit cards.

The price is okay because it is delicous and the portion is quit enough. However, it would be better if the servicers are more proactive.

The food was good for a fair price.

Los mejores edamame que he comido y la sopa de Tofu con verduras estaba rica. El mamá Cook Plate contundente y con una ensalada que irán pasando de plato en plato porque nunca la aliñan. Esta vez la cerveza de barril si estaba fría pero volvieron a. Obrar por un vaso de agua del grifo lo mismo que por una caña. Curioso que nos atendiese la misma camarera del restaurante del al lado.

Nice ambience. Price-performance is top. The portions were large, tasty and attractively designed.

Very tasty and really well priced.

Good food, pleasant atmosphere. It's a shame they don't accept foreign credit cards. Only from Germany or cash.

They have a card machine but refuse non German cards, sending customes out into the dark night to find an ATM. This is very poor. AVOID.

Great restaurant, delicious food. We got a table for two people without a reservation.

Ein leckeres Essen. Vorausschauendes und freundliches Personal. Das Mango Curry war sehr gut. Sehr preiswertes Essen. Immer wieder gerne

Went to Mama Cook's this evening on our first evening in Berlin because our hotel is right next door. Tiach reservation online hassle-free. Friendly welcome in the restaurant. Food 10/10. Very large portion, didn't finish everything. Very friendly waitresses who asked several times whether everything was OK, whether we liked it, etc. We'd be happy to go back!

Very nice place. Service was OK. Starters were very good, unfortunately the main course was not at all. May have been due to the selection. But I like crispy duck...

Our food came very quickly and was very tasty!

Really great! Card payment from 15 EUR and unfortunately no visa.

Food was really nice also price compare to other asian restaurants was very good.

Sesame Tofu for €11.50 and Mango Cooler for €5.50

Food was really nice also price compare to other asian restaurants was very good. Drinks are very good as well. The place is a nice calm place in the one of the most touristic areas in Berlin.

We had booked a table at 6 p.m. and got there an hour earlier, but that wasn't a problem. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was really great and the cocktails were really tasty, hence the price. 🌝 If you want to eat there in the evening, I would definitely reserve a table because it gets really busy. We had a very nice evening and would eat there again. Thanks so much

Very nice vietnamese Restaurant. Perfect service by charming crew. You can sit on the inside or outside. Very good prices and the food is awesome.

5 minutes after you received your starters they offer you the maincourse. You tell them your table is full with starters that you would like to finish first. 10 minutes later another waiter comes again with the maincours. Same story. At the end you get your maincourse microwaived again and not fresh anymore. If you complain at the end of your diner the waitress tells you she is not to blame. Her colleague is. Yeah right.

Very very tasty 😋 you have to try it!

Mama cook tfra3 like jib ms tstahel

It’s “asian” food for locals/white people. Colourful, plated well, and that’s it. Nothing is wrong with anything, but if you told me the cook was white who never left germany, I wouldnt blink an eye.

I haven't seen a restaurant this good in a long time. Extremely tasty, rich and not expensive.

Super tasty, especially the tofu in a sesame crust. Really inexpensive too :)

The Vietnamese pho I ordered was mediocre and tasted bad. But the reason I gave a bad review was because the two shop assistants, especially the shorter one, had a very bad service attitude. When I paid, I was told that I couldn’t use visa or credit cards. I asked if I could use sparkasse, and they said yes. After I found the sparkasse card, they told me that I had to pay more than €15 to use the card, and asked me to go out to the ATM to withdraw cash. In addition, the short man mocked me for not understanding German, and after saying a lot of things to me in German, he asked me in English, "Don’t you understand?" Of course I didn’t understand. I came to eat, why should I understand? The short man asked me to put my things in the store as collateral, and then went out to the ATM to withdraw money. When I came back, I found that my handbag was loose, but it was tied tightly when I gave it to them. In short, it is a shop with extremely bad taste, service, and equipment.

The food was delicious I was surprised by the good vegetarian options. Even though we didn't like the sesame tofu that much. The service was very accommodating but unfortunately one of our meals was swapped (tofu sesame) but it was still a good experience.

Better than other Vietnamese restaurant than I've tried. friendly staffs, quick served and the food is delicious! recommended

Not very authentic, the dishes are europeanized

Incredible food and service. Our waitress Van was so helpful as we’re all the staff. Cocktails were brilliant. Definitely recommend if you come to Berlin.

Excellent and plentiful dishes, nice place, good quality/price ratio

Very tasty food but unfortunately slow service. The food makes up for it, so it is highly recommended.

Drinks only after half an hour and food only after an hour. Food was then quite ok

Crispy duck with rice and yellow curry, very tasty 😋

very good food and extremely unpleasant and rude service

Really nice decoration. Savory food. People friendly. ;)

Very great Chinese restaurant. With a great covered terrace. In the middle of the residential area. Discovered by chance. Lots of locals there. As a tourist you are more of an exception. Food absolutely delicious, very large portions, great prices, very tasty alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.

Fast service, nice interior and little outside area and above all that… great Vietnamese food. Highly recommended! Pho and mango duck are our hot picks <3

Super tasty, very reasonably priced, cozy atmosphere and friendly service

Tolles Essen, besonders die Mama Cook Platte war sehr lecker. Coktails waren Top. Ich kann dieses Restaurant empfehlen.

Unfortunately our expectations were not met. Lemonades were good and tasty. Soups were good too. Unfortunately we weren't impressed with the main courses. The duck had a not nice aftertaste. We won't be coming back.

male, qualità e pulizia che lasciano a desiderare, bagni sporchi, ingredienti scarsi, esiste assolutamente di meglio. Personale che dopo uno scarso servizio pretendeva la mancia.

Nice food, 3 of us had dinner and it came to just under 50 euros.

I went to buy Bubble Tea. The working woman took out the glass by holding it from inside, took the money with the same hand, then took a wet cloth and wiped the tables with the same hand. I gave Buble Tea to my girlfriend, I did not drink it, I cannot comment on its taste. But the hygiene part was extremely disturbing. I recommend using gloves.

Very good restaurant with good value for money. We ate very well! Bring cash because they don't take cards.

Friendly staff. Very tasty food. Would come again and again. It's best to reserve a table on the weekend.

I really liked it, but unfortunately my daughter didn't. But I recommend it!

Wonderful place. Food was delicious and the Vietnamese coffee was superb 👌.

Delicious food, nice decor and nice staff. Gladly again

Only accept cash, pushy with tips, and reviews, asks to see your 5 star after you do the review infront of them.

Insists on cash and say that credit card machine is broken. But in honesty, they just dont want to accept card and lies. Ask for tips and pushy with reviews, asks to see the “5 star review” after doing it infront of them. Disregard for customer experience and more on themselves.

This gastronomy is located deep in the east. We walked there and it was worth it. Recommended!

First of all, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very good, there is nice decoration and the seating is very comfortable. The food is very good, I went there twice in my trip to Berlin since I liked it so much. I personally recommend the Pho, since the flavor really explodes in your mouth.
