I was looking for a Vietnamese restaurant in Berlin to warm up with a bowl of chicken pho when I came across Chay Viet on Yelp and it was around the corner from our apartment in Mitte. The reviews were more than positive so I went and sat down and looked at the menu. That's when I noticed it was a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant. I was fixated on chicken pho and was about to leave, when I thought the best of it and decided to stay and try it out. I ordered the Mi Quang, a spicy soup with mushrooms and tofu, and lo and behold, if it wasn't one of the best soups I've ever tasted! I was so happy that I decided to be adventurous! I was a little less adventurous the rest of the week, as I ordered the same soup three additional times as I couldn't get enough of it! Run - don't walk - to get the Mi Quang! read more

Chay Viet - My to-go Mi Quang that I decided to enjoy at my apartment. - Vietnamese Near Me - Berlin, BE

Great little place that stumbled upon in the Mitte while looking for an alternative for Rou. You know a vietnamese restaurant with a kitchen that was actually open for dinner. The wanton soup had fried dumplings instead of boiled which surprised me. The taste was great, but the soup was so oily as a result. You can see the layer of oil circling in the soup. If that's the secret to great taste, then sign me up. For my entree, I had ca bung, an eggplant tofu dish with tumeric and plaintains. Never had anything like this before. Most of the vegetarian vietnamese restaurants in Houston focus on meat analogs so I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted good but the dish played havoc on the digestive system later with the gas. It could have been the oily soup instead but I blame the novel dish with the soybeans. read more

It's the second time that I give a restaurant five stars. The best vegetarian food that I've ever had in my life. So good. Tasty, a lot of options, healthy, good ambience, large portion, cheap, good service. It's just fantastic! I'm staying in Berlin for six days and I've been here three times. Food I've tried which I'll definitely recommend: 17: Rice noodles with curry, coconut milk, vegetables and tofu 18: Fried glass noodles with tasty marinated tofu, various fungi to selected Vietnamese herbs 21: Traditional medium Vietnamese soup with rice noodles and tofu, mushrooms, flavoured with coconut milk. 31: Vietnamese Bim Bap with caramelised tofu, oyster mushrooms, vegetables with rice and a fried egg on top 35: Dessert!! Sticky rice and pumpkin fritters candied with coconut cream and sesame. The shakes are also yummy! I especially love the 124 with fresh kiwi, milk and green tea. My boyfriend ordered the 126 shake with cucumber, milk, yoghurt and salty lime, which I don't like but is very interesting. I'll miss the restaurant and I'll definitely visit it again if I come back to Berlin. read more

Enjoyed by our entire party (all but one are carnivores) so I can safely assume the restaurant is good for non-vegetarians as well. From a vegetarian point of view it has a wide variety of foods, enough to have that fun dish exchange done over the table. Tip: the Vietnamese cuisine is very spicy and slightly different than other Asian cuisines - I recommend you try it with all my heart but it doesn't suit everyone. read more

Chay Viet - The curry dish. Delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Berlin, BE

You would think the best food in Berlin would be German food, right? Welp, surprisingly, it's Vietnamese food. Who would have guessed?.... Chay Viet is one of the best Viet places I've ever been to. Better than any Viet restaurant in America in California or Florida, trust me on this one. They have a very wide selection of different dishes, some that will surprise you. The interesting thing is that everything on the menu is vegetarian. If you're someone who fears the veggie, don't fret. Out of the dishes I tried, everything is completely edible, very wholesome, and delicious! They create the perfect harmony between making their food rich in flavor, but light enough where it still doesn't overpower you. Everything also comes in a pretty large portion too. I would suggest getting the Mi Quang - my favorite hands down. I would HIGHLY recommend stopping by here if you're in Berlin! read more

Best place to have vegetarian food at city. They have great customer service and delicious food. Definitely you must stop by if you are in the city. read more

Chay Viet is one of the better-valued vegetarian options in Mitte. An all-vegetarian menu without a bump up in prices. It doesn't hurt that the food's good, too. It won't blow your mind, but I haven't had anything dissapointing there. Note: often heavily populated by cultish vegan Jivamukti Yoga participants from across the street. read more

I walked to this place once when I was close to starvation. It took me quite a while to get there because my university is a bit far away. So anyway it was totally worth it! I was craving for some Thai curry and they served me a good one! The service is very kind and the food comes really quick! Boom baby! read more

Chay Viet - Vegan Thai curry with tofu and a peppermint tea. - Vietnamese Near Me - Berlin, BE

Nice vegetarian restaurant near the subway station Bernauer Straße. If you are around there, I would advice to go to that place. It's not a very special restaurant but quality and cost effectiveness are in apple-pie order. Particulary convincing was the homemade lemonade which is called "Chia Sensation". The raspberries were out of stock but nevertheless a very good choice. And you can feel the healthiness by drinking the sour lemonade with the chia seeds which make you feel lively. You should try it! To cut the manner further short: The staff was very friendly and helpful when I asked about her recommendation. Whereby I ordered the filled tofu in a clay pot which was served with fresh broccoli and string beans. And also spring rolls. They were ok but I already had much better ones. A bit too squashy for my taste. I liked the main dish better, it was not a standard vietnamese dish and tasted interesting. Relaxed atmosphere, sprinkling piano music in the background and nice food! And you can pay without Cash, soo convenient! Special point for that! read more

Woke up from a nap fairly hungry, so we waltzed on over for dinner on the way to the grocery store. I ordered the #17 Pho Cary, and when it arrived, I thought "well, lots of leftovers". There were no leftovers. Every bite was perfectly prepared, well balanced, exploding with flavors, and I can't wait to go again. read more

Excellent quality food. Tons of menu options. Potential allergins (gluten, nut, soy) are all clearly labeled. Anything can be made vegan. Menus in English/German. Very reasonably priced within a lovely atmosphere. Indoor/outdoor seating. read more

Huge restaurant with great classical asian music playing (piano music mostly). We stayed there for hours and talked over the great food there. The portions were good and the prices were reasonable. We got beers and pho and just shared with everyone. Great vibe. Everything tasted great and we barely noticed that it was vegetarian haha read more

Chay Viet - Vietnamese Near Me - Berlin, BE

Amongst the most delicious, satisfying, creative meals I've ever enjoyed! Their dishes are as skillfully prepared and authentic as the best Vietnamese meals I had in Vietnam, and the diversity of flavors and textures is remarkable for a vegetarian restaurant. However, the service is embarrassing, even for Germany! Do not come here if you are in a rush, or offended when people who arrive after you are served their food before you're even allowed to place your order. I'll still be back for a very leisurely meal! read more

I had the tofu salade with orange and oh my goodness, it was way too yummy. Some Berliners sitting next to me said this was the best vegetarian restaurant in Berlin and I believe it! What great flavor. Their purple rice milkshake was delicious too. This place is a must for fans of vegetarian food! read more

Pretty good curry , i've had better in Berlin , but its a very good vegetarian option everything was well prepared , the tofu was really good and the vegetables fresh , and crispy , really tasty curry read more

Great food, lots of space to sit, good prices, large portions. Would I go again, probably if it was a larger party of people but not to take someone for a great eat place. read more

The only place we went to twice on our visit to Berlin! We had a lovely dinner and a nice afternoon snack here -- I had the Pho (I was feeling a little under the weather) and my hubs loved the clay pot. The tea was lovely, and it's a big space, no issue coming with our group at all. They do have an english menu, but if you're familiar with Vietnamese fare, you wouldn't even need it. Nice place and very vegan friendly! read more

This is an outstanding restaurant. We have never ever been disappointed. The service can be a little slow sometimes, but good things come to those who wait. The food is delicious and I had never had tofu that was so tastefully flavored. We go to this restaurant almost every other week, sometimes even every week. We whole heartedly recommend this place. read more

Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant Berlin has to offer! Everything I have ordered from the menu has been excellent. You must try the spring rolls though, they are home-made and mouth watering! The food is all vegetarian and there are lots of dishes suitable for vegans too. However, I have taken meat lovers there, and they have all loved it as well, so don't be scared by the vegetarian aspect so much. The price range is affordable too, main dishes are usually about 7-8 euros. I love this little hidden gem in Mitte! read more

Chay Viet is not your typical vietnamese place. They only offer vegetarian dishes, but the quality of the food is outstanding. The selection of different dishes is great and covers all the great vietnamese dishes like soups, salads and curries. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. A must if you like vietnamese cuisine. This is as good as it gets in vegetarian viet cuisine. read more

Located a few minutes walk from Rosenthaler Platz U, Chay Viet has a great selection of vegetarian Vietnamese food. I went with one of the Phos. All the ingredients were fresh and tasted fresh which was great, my one complaint with the dish was that they flavored it almost exclusively with Siracha sauce (Vietnamese hot sauce). It wasn't a spiciness problem for me, but more a lack of flavour problem. That being said, I will go back and try some of the other dishes on the menu. read more

Awesome food! Friendly staff. Tomato tofu is great. The banana sesame lassi is also wonderful. Also - free wifi is much appreciated.

First of all, the menu is incredibly expansive and very authentic. By authentic I don't mean authentic to the original dishes with animal components. However, the seasoning and palette of the chef are certifiably Vietnamese. Moreover, the portion is hefty! The decor is also super cosy and comfortable, complementing the home-cooked food really well. Overall, it was a highly pleasant experience; I high recommend. read more

Excellent food! I was quite impressed and when I asked for spicy, I got spicy unlike other Vietnamese restaurants in Berlin. Great experience and almost everything on the menu is vegan too. :) read more

This place is incredible. Fresh, flavorful vegetables, well-cooked tofu, perfect seitan, and delicious and creative spice profiles. It blows my mind that it's so inexpensive, too. Bring the place to the UK or the US and they could charge three times as much. Standards like rice noodles with tofu and seasonal vegetables are beautifully executed, with the wonderful vietnamese emphasis on fresh herbs like mint and cilantro. It was especially exciting to try less familiar dishes (eggplant and green banana curry; stuffed peppery tofu served in hot cast iron). My partner's epiphany: "When you order vegetarian or vegan food at non-vegetarian 'ethnic' restaurants, you usually have one or two options that are the most common vegetarian meal in the relevant cuisine -- sure to please, but boring. But when you go to 'ethnic' restaurants that are entirely vegetarian or vegan, you get to try dishes that are more divisive and more interesting." Only con: food takes a long time to arrive. Don't go if you're in a hurry. read more

Never tried this kind of food before. I was in Berlin for 4 days, have been twice. Not a beautiful interior design but nice food for a cheap price. read more

I love vietnamese food and I am since long time vegetarian: this restaurant is my dream :) Extremely good food, a lot of different dishes with different ingredients and combinations(like I've never seen anywhere else in Berlin), absolutely fresh vegetables. This place is not just another viet bistro, but one of the finest, most special and unique in the city! Also the shakes and the juices were delicious. Very friendly service, the place is not very pretty furnished (this is the only weak point..but not very important actually..). Highly recommended!!!! read more

Excellent food, good prices for a family trying to watch what we spend on restaurants in Berlin. Service was good and pleasant. Portions were pretty large, to the point where the four of us probably could have shared three entrees, since three of us also got soup/appetizers. Highly recommended veggie food! read more

If you are a vegetarian who likes Vietnamese food, run, don't walk, to this place! Pages and pages of excellent Vietnamese food, all of it vegetarian (we could use a place like this in NY or Boston!). It's in a nifty hip neighborhood, on Brunnen-strasse close to the Berlin Wall Memorial at the corner of Bernauer-strasse...take the U to this station, one of the "ghost stations" when the city was divided. read more

Very delicious, recommend number 20. Rich flavored rice noodle, with vegi, mushroom, and peanuts!

Best vegetarian vietnamese place I've ever been. I'm eating there almost every week since 2 years.
