HANOIAN | Authentic Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Berlin

Update July 2022: (ignore the pictures posted below - they are one year old)

This place has changed owners since last years and we are so very sad that is has. This was a very friendly family run restaurant specialising in Vietnamese dishes. A small menu but everything was excellent, it really was. We loved it so much we have returned again this year on our holiday, hoping to see our friends and have good Vietnamese food again.

However the ownership has recently changed. The menu now is too much of a variety of East Asian food from all different countries. There are too many dishes on the menu.

We tried to order our usual food. The crispy pork rolls came out cold in the middle. They had been fried from frozen. The pork in the middle was cold so we didn’t eat it. The sauce was not the homemade sauce but shop bought sweet and sour which didn’t match and tasted awful. Just sugary.

The beef pho was lacking in any flavour completely. Warm salty water and old noodles that tasted from the packet. I have made better pho at home myself.

It has now gone from our favourite to least favourite place. We are so disappointed and we miss the lovely family that used to run this place!

August 2021: This is the best Vietnamese we have been to in Berlin!

My partner and I love Vietnamese food and we have tried a many number of places across Berlin. Hanoian is by far the best we have had here. We have already visited three times and intend to go back many more before we leave because the food is so delicious.

We have yet to try all the dishes on the menu. But our personal favourites have been the crispy spring rolls which are made by hand. The are well filled, with so much flavour and very crispy. Beautiful texture. The beef Phở is absolutely stunning. Light delicate hot broth, with lots of flavour. Really delicious slices of beef, with rice noodles, onions and scallions. Topped with traditional Hanoian thin slices of garlic which make it perfect. We also had extra chillis to bring a lovely heat to the dish.

However, our favourite part of our trips are the hosts. A wonderful and friendly wife & husband team. We feel so very welcome at their restaurant, always friendly and they spend time to talk with us. Not only about the food but local tips about the area also. We have never felt so well looked after. They really are a special family running this place and we cannot recommend this place enough.

We will be going back as many times as we can during...

Update July 2022. Devastated to find the restaurant has changed ownership and the quality of the food has dropped from 5 to 1 star. You can basically ignore the pictures I posted on the original post a year ago, as that food no longer exists. Been a year since I visited berlin and this restaurant, it was a run by a beautiful family who made delicious Hanoian Vietnamese food, small menu, nothing else. Now it's seemingly every dish from Japan to Vietnam over 50 dishes on the menu. The crispy spring rolls were no longer freshly made and taken straight out of the freezer as they were stone cold in the middle. The pho was terrible. Real shame as I was very excited to see the owners again catch up and eat there delicious food. Hoping they see this and can get in touch some how.

July 2021 Fantastic Pho, host was lovely and super friendly. On my way back...

Tried the „pho sot vang dac biet“! Also known as number 14. A recommendation by the waiter…and it was absolutely amazing. Probably the best pho I have ever tasted. Especially good was the pickled garlic on the side. Very authentic. A small family business that will share their traditionell...
