1990 Vegan Living — Restaurant in Berlin

Large menu with the options of sharing a few small plates or combining them with a main.

Me and my company took fried dumplings, bao with mango and vegetables and a bowl of udon noodles with tofu and vegetables (main).

The fried dumplings could have been crispier, but I wouldn’t go as far as calling them soggy. They came with a nice salty soy dipping sauce that gave them the right character.

The bao was well combined with the sweet mango and herbs, but the bread could have been fluffier and I would have liked more herbs and maybe one more salty/textured element.

The udon noodles had the right chewy texture and they were served with a lovely soy/sesame(?) sauce. The tofu was deliciously soft with a fried outside, and it would have been even better if they would have put in more of it. I think that they could have simplified the vegetable selection a bit instead of putting like 10 pretty random vegetables in the dish. The bowl was served with an ultra crispy battered and deep fried tofu stick. It was brilliant to dip in the sauce!

Food wise I think that big part of the charm with this place is that there is so much to choose from. Everything holds a decent quality and it feels fresh without becoming boring/‘too healthy’. I definitely want to come back and try other items on the menu. My main criticism is that I think that they should simplify some of their dishes and think more about quality rather than quantity.

The service was polite, but it’s a bit annoying that they don’t accept cards.

The venue overlooks a pleasant park and there is outdoor seating along the...

Large entrance, making it easy to find. It's a sit-down restaurant, but it seems a bit more casual dinning place. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a rather large restaurant, and their menus both have bowls and large bowl options. The bowls are smaller tapa style portions while the large bowls are for a single meal. I opted for the bowls (aka tapas) and tried the Com Chien, Peanut Magic Stick, Princess and the Pea, and the Ha Cao. Portions are on the larger side and come on one plate, making them great for sharing. The Ha Cao dumplings were a bit on the dry side, but the filling in them was great. The Com Chien was crunchy and different, so I enjoyed that; however, I would say it was quite dense, making it hard to eat a large portion of it. The Peanut Magic was amazing! The peanut sauce and crunchy texture of the sticks were so delicious. The Princess and the Pea was the best, in my opinion. The green beans were really nice, as was the seitan that they mixed in them. I don't remember the last time I liked green beans so much, but these were amazing! Overall, a really good experience. Very filling food that could easily be shared. The restaurant gave an authentic Vietnamese vibe as well, and the food had a really good flavour. I would recommend visiting when you travel to Berlin, regardless of whether you are...

The food was good, diverse, and well-presented. However, everything leaned towards the sweeter side—whether sauces or dressings. Even the drinks enhanced the overall sweetness, leaving no room for savoury or spicy balance. • The dumplings with mango sauce were enjoyable, the spring rolls were light but lacked distinct flavor inside, and the bao was nicely topped with vegan chicken, veggies, and raw mango.

Service was quick, staff was courteous, and there was ample seating. The biggest downside: they don’t accept card payments, so I had to withdraw cash.

• The dragon rolls (bowl #20) were quite oily, and the tamarind-based sauce added to the sweetness. • The veggie and tofu-based dishes were fresh and flavorful but followed the same sweet trend.

The mango coconut smoothie and lychee lemonade were fresh and enjoyable. We ended with ginger lime tea, served in a bowl—an interesting touch, but it had too much honey, adding to the sweetness overload.

Overall, a satisfying meal but could use more savoury or...
