I can’t remember the last time i had such aweful Vietnamese food. It was so bad that i almost blast laughing and was angry at the same time. Like seriously? You selling this to your customers loI truly don’t understand the good ratings online. This place is visited by a decent amount of German people (no asians). There is really nothing good about this place.
I start to doubt the ability for people living in the Prenzlauer Berg Kiez to evaluate good Vietnamese food...
The vegan pho soup.. I laughed when I ate it.. like guys are you serious lol. It tasted 0 like pho, watery. The shrimps were absolutely dry and hard as if they’ve been forgotten from the past few years in any fridge at the corner. The summer rolls were hard and lacked in taste. Taste wise everything lacked everywhere anywhere. We left very dissatisfied. The pfannenkuchen was bad, the rice dish with shrimp was bad, the summer rolls were bad. The pho was terrible. Sorry guys! There are so many Vietnamese spots around that are so much better and across berlin by far better ones.
Price wise we were charged higher than other places with a small amount of proteins. The service was rude ... completely dissatisfied sorry guys....

I highly recommend the pancakes with tofu (wrapped in lettuce leaves), Banh uot (ricepaper wraps with pork and mushroom), glass noodle dish with prawns, and the duck noodles. Value for money is super high- especially considering the quality of the ingredients. I go here at least once a week and it's been my staple here in Berlin. Outdoor seating when the weather is nice, and the interior has these beautiful historical tiles. The two sons who run the restaurant are the nicest guys - and the mom in the kitchen is just amazing. It's a rare find to see a restaurant operated with so much love and each family member contributing such a large part of the success of this place. Wish I could rate this place higher than 5 stars because it deserves every...
Read moreI was there with my husband and our 1.5-year-old baby for lunch on Sunday. Upon arrival, I was the first customer at the restaurant and was greeted by a waitress who seemed preoccupied with a call on her mobile phone. When we requested a baby chair, she instructed us to fetch it ourselves, despite the restaurant not being busy. I was surprised by her constant phone usage and lack of attention to customers (her earpiece was always in and she was constantly talking on the phone). The service provided was terrible and rude, especially considering the price paid at this establishment. I regretted that I tipped her (I do it as a common practice in restaurants in Berlin), because she didn’t even bother to say Thank you. I will not be returning to Mama's Banh. It's essential for that waitress to address...
