Ngon Restaurant Berlin in Berlin

The room is big. Enjoy your meal. Fair price.

The chicken Pho was delicious! Nice atmospehere

Fantastic asian restaurant with an excellent view. We had dinner there and the food was quite good. The staff were super helpful, and the menu has varied options for different types of Asian food. We tried two different dishes, Pho and Curry, and both were great. Also the place has the best decor I have seen in a restaurant.

Over half of the map has been erased with tippex. What's left is Asian standard which is simply too expensive. Interesting concept at the entrance where a cocktail is assigned to a scent you like. It's a shame, more could have been done with the concept.

The food was good, but the drinks...the BEST drinks i have ever tried!!! It was as if i was eating magic! The staff was excellent with great aura and we got the chance to meet the cocktail maker, who makes drinks you can never think of: try drinking soil, imagine that and you'll be more surprised to find out you'll actually love it! It was truly an experience and a great special one ☺️

Based on many recommendations, we test the bar and restaurant. Cocktails are special and strong. Meat top side dishes too. Service could be better.

Very good food and fast service, also very nice location

It's a shame that the very interesting "smell concept" created by Arnd Heissen is no longer being used after just a few months of its existence, at least in this prominent place in the Nikolaiviertel. All the best for your future gastronomic activities.

Nothing special. Looked so good on Open Table but turned out disappointing. Half their menu is covered in whiteout and what’s left is a very small selection of mediocre food that’s not worth the visit/money. Best thing about the restaurant is the view. Would not recommend this place

Sorry? What a wonderful end to a trip, we spent our last night in Germany in this restaurant. Magical place, very interesting and delicious food.

A beautiful restaurant with a great view and very tasty food.

The food, presentation and atmosphere are fantastic. Furthermore, the prices are reasonable for the quality and beautiful interior of the restaurant. I only tried one cocktail, but it was also excellent.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the extraordinary pleasure of visiting this Asian fusion restaurant and it was a terrific experience from start to finish! As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was sent on a culinary journey: I was presented with around 15 different, tempting scents under glass balls, which immediately stimulated my senses and increased the anticipation of the upcoming meal. The concept of the staff choosing both the food and the cocktails for the guest is simply brilliant. Every dish and every drink was perfectly coordinated and harmonized in taste and presentation. The fusion cuisine was an exciting mix of Asian flavors and creative, modern influences that made every bite an experience. The cocktails were equally impressive - each creation was not only a treat for the palate, but also a visual highlight. The perfect match between food and cocktails really amazed me and showed the high level of culinary art in this restaurant. Overall, it was a fantastic evening that far exceeded my expectations. Exceptional food, perfectly combined drinks and a unique concept - a must for every gourmet and lover of Asian cuisine!

The Birdsnest is a very great restaurant with fine dining and cuisine, as well as cocktails. We were welcomed very hospitably and looked after very pleasantly. The food was first class and tastefully prepared. I would like to give a small note to the great team. There is no need to ask for a second round of drinks. The restraint is not necessary. Unfortunately, due to the lack of outside seating, the restaurant was very empty. This is again a tip for people who want to escape the hustle and bustle during the meal.

Had a great experience. Food was delightful and service was excellent. I ordered the dish from the “Fragrance Menu”; where you smell different perfumes resembling the dishes, and choose the scent that you like accordingly and a dish is brought to you. I got the artichoke dish, it was great but a bit too sweet for my liking for a savory dish. There’s also a regular menu. Portions are a bit small for those who are hungry😁 Overall vibe of the restaurant is great, perfect for date nights. I would recommend it :)

Great concept with fragrance pairing with food and cocktails. The food offers a truly delightful sensory experience. We tried 4 different dishes from the fragrance pairing menu. The atmosphere was very nice but the music was a bit too loud when we arrived for late dinner at 21:45. The staff very friendly and helpful. A nice discovery and great experience overall!

I first came to Ngon a year ago. They had the most stunning seafood rice and won ton noodles. I couldnt wait to be back as the experience was so lovely and it was genuinely the best seafood rice I have ever had. Coming back, to my disappointment, the entrance of the restaurant- which was a stunning moody red textured wall, was replaced by an attempt at a modern restaurant that completely takes away character from the dining experience. The menu changed and it was incredibly confusing to order- so much so that even our waiter was getting confused. It genuinely made us annoyed and we ended up ordering just for the sake of ordering something because we were so hungry. The food is always very good, but it was disappointing to not have the dish we waited a year to have again. They now have live music which is nice at times but also incredibly distracting- especially when mid dinner, the staff started dancing to it doing a conga line through the restaurant… this is something you expect at a beach bar in an all inclusive hotel in Tenerife.. not in a upscale dining establishment. Sadly this place has lost its charm and I will not be returning. I would recommend you hire a high-end event and hospitality experience consultant to help you rethink your guest dinning experience.

An absolute recommendation for good food, cool ambience and impeccable service. The concept is something very refreshing that you can choose your food based on the smell. Lots of interesting creations that you haven't eaten before. We paid around €190 for two people, which is definitely appropriate for the food.

Interesting new place that is a must see

Once my favourite place but the amount of food you get for the price is not worth it. I remember back then they would give a good portion for the price but not for a high price, you get little amount of food. Avoid at all cost unless you don’t want your money’s worth.

My once-favorite Vietnamese restaurant has become a major disappointment after its recent concept change. The portions are now ridiculously small, and despite spending over EUR 60, we left the restaurant still hungry and dissatisfied. The minimal food we received was, in my opinion, well below average and absolutely not worth the steep price. It's a real letdown, and I would strongly recommend avoiding this place.

Great concept, great atmosphere! Simply a unique experience!

Interesting concept. If possible, I would have given zero stars for the implementation: miserable. Service incompetent, food largely tasteless (in a supposedly Asian restaurant? Not possible.)

Unique, cozy and flavorful. This place was recommended in a travel guide I purchased, and I didn't know much more about it and I'm glad it stayed that way. I have never been in a restaurant with such a unique concept. I was there to celebrate my friend's birthday and we were all blown away, everyone on staff were extremely friendly and they seemed happy to be there, Nacho was amazing and his energy really set the tone. The place itself it's already pretty enough, but you add the delicious food and their unique twist to their main menu and you get an unforgettable experience. It made me sad not to be from Berlin, as I won't get to visit it again soon since there's so much to discover from the menu. We tried several dishes and all offered something none of us tasted before. It really does feel like the kind of place that if it clicks with you, you'll be thinking about it often. Totally recommended!

Worth a visit for the unique experience alone! Sniffing through different perfumes, choosing your favorite and ordering the right appetizer with the corresponding drink is really cool! Nicely decorated restaurant, menu is a bit extravagant, but there should be something for everyone. The Pho was really extremely tasty, my standards are now very high for future Phos. Unfortunately the first drink wasn't my thing, way too sweet, but the second one was even tastier :)

We knew nothing about this restaurant except that we could book at short notice. We were greeted by an explanation about their fragrance menu but although we liked the concept it wasn’t well explained and we were at a loss as to whether we ordered more dishes or if we got a set menu. Once understood we got one dish we ordered some more and they were all delicious. I would have enjoyed it more if it had been better explained and perhaps some other dishes recommended.

Deplorable service, the waiter snorted in front of us when we asked for more details on the menu because we were allergic to certain foods. The price of the dishes is very expensive, very little quantity. They take a long time to serve and bring out dishes/drinks. A place not to repeat.

Super great kitchen. Perfect service, great ambience. It's always worth visiting.

First of all: the food is really delicious. BUT the fundamentally interesting idea of ​​the Fragrance Menu unfortunately fails due to its implementation. Our selected scents turned out to be starters and desserts and everyone involved was confused about what to do. So we tried to order suitable main courses, which was really difficult. The map was difficult to understand and it was not clear what belonged together. Unfortunately, the waiter was also overwhelmed and couldn't help us much (since he didn't understand German or English well). Great concept but poor implementation.

Innovative concept. Guests who like to experiment will find their favorite scent from several scents and receive a matching appetizer and cocktail. Great personal advice. A real experience and an insider tip in the heart of the capital.

Absolutely avoid! Real tourist scam! Go to Mr. Wuong's and you will discover real Vietnamese cuisine.

What an amazing place! Really interesting and delicious food-cocktail pairings, friendly staff, super pleasant space and music. One of my new favourite cocktail spaces!

Food, service and air conditioning - 5/5!

Great drinks, great concept, on the pricier side but the experience is worth it.

I celebrated my roommate's birthday with our friends at Birdsnest and had dinner. The location is absolutely amazing! Nice view and nice big tables 😍 You can also make yourself comfortable in the bar. The waiters are all super friendly and the food is incredibly tasty 🍜🥬🍲 ✨ The new concept with the perfumes really interested me and grabbed me straight away!! We were there on Friday, the DJ creates a good atmosphere and adapts to the restaurant :) Great experience! I'm looking forward to the new card 🤭💛 Thank you

Excellent food, very good drinks, recommended

Very nice welcome from the staff. An interesting concept where you choose a perfume that smells good and thereby get the right cocktail.

Completely new experience, great concept and great implementation! Indescribably good food and drinks. We will be back definitely !

An experience. Not less. Absolutely first-class drinks that were in complete harmony with the dish served, an extremely committed and friendly staff and an immersive atmosphere. I will remember this stay for a long time. Visit urgently while you still have space, Birdsnest will definitely not remain an insider tip.

Wonderful experience! The staff is wonderful, concept is very fun and different and the flavours and combos were as new and confusing as they were delicious (very!). We had a really great time and the live music with Joe on Thursdays was great too :) thanks !

A timeless place, with a great concept of olfactory preference through perfume, to then combine an elaborate meal with a cocktail

Food was average . Service was extremely slow. card machine was not working for payment and waiter not even bothered to give the change back.

The food was excellent and the waitresses were very nice and friendly. Especially we chose perfume with the best scent and our food and cocktail were very very tasty!!! Definitely a recommendation!

The restaurant is characterized by creativity in food and drinks. Very happy with the service from the staff. Great, excellent, wonderful

Incredible experience! The parfum menu is both delicious and unique - you need to try it! We went all in trying the cocktail with the dish and was the best experience ever! The staff is super attentive and nice. Live piano singer, amazing atmosphere! Best experience in a long time! Ah… and price is very affordable for the total experience! Highly recommended 🌟

We visited the Bird's Nest for the first time and were very excited about the concept of choosing by smell. The cocktails were exceptional and superbly balanced. The matches with the dishes were also impressive. Overall, we felt a bit lost in the concept: the signature dishes were more like appetizers, and it wasn't clear to us how the menu would continue. There was a selection of Vietnamese dishes, but they had nothing to do with the concept, so we decided not to try them. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The furnishings are nice and cozy, the architecture of the old GDR building alone is worth a visit. Maybe we would have liked it better if we had been prepared in advance for cocktails with a matching snack, without the expectation of a real dinner.

Flott interiør, men utsikt til klassiske seerverdigheter nær Alexander plass. Hyggelig betjening som også serverer raskt. Artig innslag med både DJ og panda-bamser som fort kunne plasseres som ekstra «bamse» ved bordet. Nydelig mat og hode drinker.

Unfortunately, the menu and images on Google Maps do not match what is offered locally. The scent menu is a pretty strange concept and we weren't sure exactly how it would work. In addition, a strange stuffed panda was placed at our table without asking. We stuck with an aperitif, which was okay but not overwhelming, and then went elsewhere for food. I advise against it. Especially for vegetarians with seafood allergies, the choice is practically non-existent.

Atmospheric restaurant, good food, friendly service. The only minus is the menu of dishes and drinks, they could be colorful with photos.

This restaurant in the heart of Berlin describes the capital's location perfectly in two words: yeah, well. I dined there with a few people last year. The interior is very elegant to look at. You can be amazed by the selection of dishes. However, I noticed on Google that some of the menus didn't match the restaurant's menu, which definitely surprised me. The service was pretty mediocre, there were one or two problems, but otherwise it was fine. But my wallet wasn't doing so well that day.

Delicious lamb chop check wings fantastic and delicious tiger 🐅 beer. Keep it up

Fantastic experience, everything is just right there 🤩

The food is incredibly tasty, the drinks a true marvel of the senses and, above all, the owner is unbelievably friendly. Great concept and elegant design, highly recommend!

Unique experience for all senses. First of all, the food and service are absolutely great. The idea of ​​the fragrance menus fascinated and convinced us; it's something we haven't seen so often before. Definitely a recommendation!

I just had drinks there, The cocktail menu is made out of different perfumes. I chose the perfume with the best smell and my cocktail was the same delicious Very cool concept. Go there tomorrow again.

The food was really excellent and the waiters were incredibly friendly, funny and competent!

Top Vietnamese! Very good cuisine Unfortunately, the concept of the scents could not be clearly explained to us. The staff gave us a very stressed impression. But it didn't detract from the friendliness. I would come back. Hence my recommendation

Vietnamese - unexpectedly intoxicating Anyone interested in wine can visit here, for example: For example, you can look forward to a small but carefully selected selection of orange wines. These accompany, among other things, harmoniously. the wonderfully aromatic mussel balls, which evoke true feelings of happiness even after tasting them for the second and third time. Be sure to try the pleasantly fresh, reservedly spicy (pomelo) kimchi salad. And if you still have a craving for the sea, you should definitely look forward to the flavors of the tuna sashimi (Tschai) and then decide for yourself whether you really still need the cedar mayonnaise. Thank you, Arndt & crew for this olfactory and gustatory enrichment.

The food was ok, but unfortunately the service was a total failure. The waiter didn't show up at the table for almost an hour, even though he was always nearby. Drinks were empty for a long time and I had to actively ask other staff to pay. Depending on the company in the restaurant, it can be very loud and uncomfortable.

I think the concept of smells combined with drinks and food is a very good idea. The Love Connection drink I had was highly recommended. The service was attentive and courteous. The atmosphere is also very nice. The food was good but nothing earth-shattering for the price.

Interesting but overall mixed experience. Instead of the usual Ngon (classic Vietnamese restaurant), it is now home to the Birdnest (Asian-fusion bar with a focus on cocktails that go with scents). The new concept undoubtedly has potential and the quality of the drinks is good, but unfortunately everything still seems very immature. The reservations/reviews are still under the old name, the menu is chaotic and in an impractical format, the special concept was only explained to us when we asked, the dishes are tasty but too small or somehow something in between an Asian restaurant and a fine dining restaurant. Dining. In the end, despite 60€pp, we left the store hungry and a bit at a loss…

Amazing extrasensory experience, everything was absolutely delicious :) I recommend booking in advance

I had made a reservation at the NGON restaurant and received a confirmation for it. Once there, I was surprised to find that it is now a different restaurant called “Bird’s Nest” and the menu has also changed. A note when booking would have been desirable. The restaurant won't see me again. The concept of the store is somehow strange. The food was just average and way overpriced (Pho 24€). Ambience was nice but it was very fresh. Service was friendly. The store benefits from previous reviews and location.

It is a very different proposal with a space of smells where they relate to cocktails. The space is pleasant and so is the music, you feel treated very well by everyone. The food is very good and adequate portions, dishes different from those of a typical Vietnamese.

We were at Ngon some time ago and were extremely impressed. That's why we booked it again today, unfortunately without reading the current reviews. Unfortunately, we can only agree with the critical feedback (as trained restaurateurs). the following: - completely new menu and the quality of the food in no way justifies the expensive prices - only one vegetarian main course; upon request, another “vegetarian” main dish could be offered - Beef Pho for €24 tasted good, but only about 5 forks of rice noodles in broth and a few pieces of beef (like a kind of soup meat), which were tough and inedible, so we would have preferred to eat a good ramen for less euros - At the end, the service staff asked us whether we were satisfied and we gave our feedback. Unfortunately, we didn't even receive an apology or an offer of a drink. - Conclusion: unfortunately we won't be coming back

Very nice restaurant with good food and an interesting concept. The concept of the perfumes wasn't clear from the start, but it was explained to us when we asked. The matching cocktails were also unique and delicious.

Terrible quality/price ratio: overpriced and food in the mid to low quality range

The new concept is exciting because the menu is still out of the usual order, but the waiters can help you well. The food itself is very tasty and sometimes very unusual. The name is now new.

I have been going to Ngon regularly for years and have always been very satisfied. However, it is now under a new name with a new card and is no longer recommended. Each time the dishes got smaller and the prices got higher. You can expect to be full from a main course for €24. The food is really delicious, but the portions are extremely small. Unfortunately, the live music that day was far too loud, so it was hard to have a conversation. What a shame!

We had high expectations based on the reviews, but were rather disappointed. The service offered little advice and was rather disinterested. The food was ok, but definitely not a taste experience, the portions were small and expensive. The tables and benches are very worn out, it looks cheap. What we found most disturbing, however, was the constant lighting of incense sticks, so that the entire restaurant and subsequently also the clothing smelled like a smokehouse.

Unusual dishes in a harmonious combination with drinks. Asian fusion cuisine with very tasty, unique cocktail creations. The focus is on enjoyment, if you're looking for standard you've come to the wrong place. The view from the TV tower and Berlin Cathedral is also worth mentioning.

Leider ein Reinfall. Das aktuelle Menü entspricht nicht mehr dem Menü welches man auf der Webseite des Restaurants vorfindet. Wir hatten einige Vegetarier in unserer Gruppe, welche von dem neuen Menü extrem enttäuscht waren. Das alte Menü war hier um einiges umfangreicher. Die neuen Gerichte sind außerdem sehr teuer und viel zu klein. Wir mussten im Anschluss noch in eine Pizzeria um den Hunger zu stillen. Als wir der Dame am Eingang unser Feedback und unsere Unzufriedenheit mitteilten, wurden wir sehr unhöflich und unprofessionell angegangen. Wie gesagt leider ein kompletter Reinfall. In der Preiskategorie ist jedes andere Restaurant in Berlin besser.

Lange Wartezeit obwohl wir nur zu zweit im ganzen Restaurant waren. Speisekarte stimmt nicht mit der im internet überein Zu teuer für das was man bekommt😒 Reinfall

Achtung: Online Karte entspricht gegenwärtig nicht den Menüs im Lokal. Telefonische Reservierung, Empfang und Service waren ordentlich. Aussicht /Ambiente touristisch. Essen geschmacklich gut. Portionsgrößen der Gerichte allerdings vollkommen unterdimensioniert, die Preisgestaltung hingegen durchaus gehoben, was sich leider nicht im Zustand der Einrichtung / Sanitäranlagen wiederspiegelt.

El restaurante cambió de nombre y concepto pero no informan a los clientes. Nos dimos cuenta recién al estar sentados y ver un menú totalmente diferente al anterior con precios también totalmente diferentes. El lugar es muy lindo y el personal amable pero deberían informar a los clientes en la recepción ya que toda la señalizacion sigue teniendo el nombre del antiguo restaurante y el personal aún usa las camisetas con el antiguo logo. Entiendo que es un concepto más enfocado en cocktails, seguramente muy bueno, pero si no tuvieron tiempo de incluir los nuevos logos simplemente deberían poner una nota a la entrada informando el cambio de firma. Las porciones son pequeñas y el sabor no es extraordinario.

The menu on their website is not up to date. There is not a single "old" dich on their new one. Describe themselfses as a "grill". Except there was only one steak on the menu. Service was also not great. Finished our drinks en left.

Super expérience pour ce Restaurant vietnamien- fusion- moderne hors du commun. Les repas sont raffinés et le service impeccable! Nous avons passé une excellente soirée!

New concept, new name : birdhouse Very good food, very good service!

Fleisch war voll mit Fett Gehalt kaum zum Kauen und nicht lecker. Es wäre keine Rücknahme möglich . Bzw wurde nichts angeboten um mich als Kunde glücklich zu machen

Das Lokal ist eine Touristenfalle. Die Speisekarte im Internet ist eine völlig andere als die Speisekarte im Lokal. Die Speisekarte im Lokal ist viel kleiner und es gibt nur "Snacks" zu völlig überhöhten Preisen. Als wir uns beschwert haben, wurden wir auch noch angeschnauzt. Obwohl jeder von uns eine Vorspeise und ein Hauptgericht bestellt hat, waren wir anschließend noch so hungrig, dass wir zum Italiener neben dem Roten Rathaus gegangen sind. Hätten wir gleich zu Beginn machen sollen!!

90 euros pour 3 plats à 2! Cela fait cher le vietnamien ! Le Pho était délicieux le reste beaucoup moins voir pas terrible ! Loin d’une expérience inoubliable pour un vietnamien ! Cependant très bon accueil ! Dommage la cuisine vietnamienne mérite mieux

Wir haben 4x phở bestellten, es hat sehr gut geschmeckt, richtig original essen

Leckerchen , immer wieder gerne.

Locale molto bello, si mangia bene. I tempi di attesa però sono piuttosto lunghi e la cameriera non riconosceva mai il nostro tavolo, portando le nostre pietanze agli altri . Però abbiamo mangiato bene

Excelente lugar para cenar. La comida muy buena y nada cara para el lugar , me la pasé muy bien en la cena de navidad

War bis vor Kurzem eins unserer Lieblingsrestaurants in Berlin. Es gibt ein neues, für Kunden sehr verwirrendes Konzept mit Parfüms. Auch die Neugestaltung der Einrichtung fanden wir enttäuschend...Das ist aber Geschmackssache....Portionen sind jetzt sehr klein und sehr teuer geworden. Leider habt Ihr nun mindestens 5 Stammgäste verloren. Trotzdem wünschen mit dem neuen Konzept Erfolg....

They fully changed their menu, I don't like what I tried so far from the new one: The Zander fish was very bland, we needed to add some salt and pepper to give it some taste but when we asked they served them in small plates (!). They also forgot to give us knives. We also ordered marinated aubergine which was undercooked. We ordered the house aperitif, 10 minutes later they came back to say it's not available, so we changed our order, 5 minutes later and they also said the second one is also not available, meanwhile our food was served but still no drinks, so they got us water instead. The experience was overall disappointing for the price.

Super leckeres Essen,allen hat es geschmeckt!!

The website’s menu is out of date, there are almost no vegetarian options (which is frustrating as we chose it for veggie options). As most dishes were fish or meat. I ended up having an aubergine dish which was €18, which was tasty but very small and we had to pay extra for rice (even though it is not listed on the menu). We felt like the focus was on drinks and not the food.

Heel vriendelijk personeel!! Maar ze zijn van concept veranderd. Het was veeeel te duur voor wat je kreeg. Helemaal niet zoals de huidige foto’s doen uitschijnen.

A true jewel hidden in the heart of Berlin, fantastic food, caring staff and really good atmosphere! I recommend

Reservierung für 5 Personen ohne Angabe von Gründen wenige Stunden vorm Termin abgesagt. So geht Service nicht.

We booked this restaurant 3 weeks in advance and received conformation of our booking. We arrived at the allocated time only to find the restaurant was closed! No email or phone notification given, we went to the good time restaurant instead which we would highly recommend, avoid this restaurant at all costs customer service zero

Lecker aber viel zu teuer für die kleinen Miniportionen. Nichts für Männer.

Ngon was absolutely fantastic. Quality of the drinks and food was expected for the price and Sara went above and beyond <3 100% recommend

Très bon repas d'équipe à prix abordable dans une jolie ambiance ! Chacun des plats était bon , goûteux. Mai tai vraiment bien servi! Quartier excentré .

Run away! Despite the well-presented starters, I ordered a Vietnamese soup, and it was the worst soup I've ever had in my life.... The vegetables were tasteless, it was served without a spoon, and when I asked for soy sauce to improve the dish, they brought us Maggi sauce instead... My boyfriend ordered a seafood curry, but there were only 4 prawns in it. There's a slight problem with the drinks menu, as it doesn't list non-alcoholic drinks (a shame for people like us who don't drink alcohol). The price is very excessive for the quality of the food, which unfortunately isn't up to par. I would not recommend this place at all.

Ein Steinwurf vom Fernsehturm entfernt, da wo sich die Touristen die Klinke in die Hand geben, liegt etwas oberhalb in der 2. Etage, dieses Kleinod. Tolles Essen, sehr freundliche Bedienung und ein schönes Sortiment in der Bar, der einem die Auswahl schwer macht. Danke!

Hey welch ein tolles Restaurant! Hervorragendes Essen und eine tolle Cocktailkart. Das Ambivalente war toll, ein eigener DJ der einen sehr angenehmes Set gespielt hat, die Beleuchtung, alles top!👍❤️😎

Einfach lecker. Ceviche und Pho Ga waren super. Einziges Manko das die Speisekarte vor Ort nicht mit der Website übereinstimmt. Sie ist kleiner geworden und die Gerichte auf die wir uns gefreut haben gab es nicht mehr. Trotzdem das beste vietnamesische Essen seit langem, optisch wie geschmacklich.
