Mabuhay shines brightly amidst the corporate landscape of Potsdamer Platz. It's a rare find—a small, family-run Vietnamese restaurant thriving where few local businesses dare to venture.
Located in this bustling area, Mabuhay offers a refreshing escape with its warm ambiance and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant's success is a testament to its exceptional food and dedicated service, all delivered with a personal touch that reflects the care and passion of its owners.
It's worth noting that Mabuhay's popularity during lunch hours can make it challenging to secure a seat promptly. However, from my experience, the wait is well worth it. The food is exceptional, and the prices are reasonable, making it a standout choice in the neighborhood. Even if you have to wait a few extra minutes, the dining experience at Mabuhay is truly worth it.

Read moreVery good food! I do not understand what some people are complaining about, as the food was great (especially the duck -bebek curry). What I can say, is that it gets remarkably full- to a point where you have to que to get a table.. But the manager is very nice and arranged another table for us! Definitely worth a visit.
Update 2024: Food is still very cheap, main courses between 6-9.50€, Rendang is still very good, but the chicken dishes definetly used to be a lot better. It is however very chaotic.

The carrots weren't cooked long enough, leaving them in an unpleasant state between crunchy and soft, which made the overall eating experience even worse.
I've been coming here regularly since I saved this place to my Google Maps list in 2020. Sambal Goreng Udang was a dish I ordered every time (Very delicious. I miss it 😢) I hadn't been back since I moved away from Berlin last year, and today I noticed the menu had changed. I thought I'd try the Nasi Goreng, but I didn't expect it to be this disappointing. After browsing through other people's reviews, it seems the owner has also changed. I don’t know if that’s true, but I've already removed this restaurant from my list and won't be...
