Good food - Edit
Been here twice in 2 years time and remembered the wasabi balls! They are my favourite. The tapas style food is all so good. I absolutely recommend. It’s worth the 10 minute wait outside when it’s prime time!

Tolles Essen - Edit
Ich war gefühlte 5000 mal hier und jedes Mal war es lecker. Besonders toll finde ich die Udon Nudeln, schön dick und machen satt. Die Vorspeisen sind auch alle lecker und lassen sich gut kombinieren. Abends ist es sehr voll und reservieren kann man kurzfristig nicht, daher ist es mittlerweile eher ein Event dort essen zu gehen aber kann es trotzdem guten Gewissens empfehlen.
Read morePros: Alles vegan, Authentische Küche, Günstig
Cons: Sehr voll abends

Not bad, not great - Edit
We were so looking forward to eating here after amazing reviews but we must’ve got them on a bad night. Staff running around like mad people. We were made to feel rushed. Told we could pay by card but then weren’t allowed.. tiny little seating area had to squeeze in. Food was ok, some dishes good some not so. Not the best experience.

Fantastic Flavourful Variety - Edit
It was great to be able to choose a selection of different mini dishes to share between us and taste the variety of flavours. The result was absolutely delicious - a wonderful mix of tofu, veg & seaweed, hot and cold dishes, mild and zingy spices. And there was a good offering of funky drinks to enjoy. We appreciated that the menu was available in English too.

great but not the best - Edit
The restaurant is always super full, which is a good sign. I got a bowl for 8,50 and it was nice but a bit tasteless for what I expected. I also got one sidedish that tasted pretty good. But at the end I didn´t end up super full and I pay around 12 euros, which for berlin leaves room for improvement.
Read morePros: Fast and nice staff, great sidedishes
Cons: not the cheapest

Vietnamese Tapas! - Edit
Loved this place and thought it was super unique. Vietnamese-style tapas which you choose by filling in a little form. The food was beautiful - would recommend sharing so that you get to try lots! 💚

the idea - Edit
so I hear that 1990 is incredible but I was kind of disappointed, I went there with my friend and my dad. I order for my dad a soup, because he love them and he said that it was a little bit without a taste. with my friend we tried to choose some of the mini bowls and in the end I was not happy with the results, I know the portions are supposed to be so small but we choose 7 or 8 of them. I hopped that it will be enough. It would be better if they would have some pictures of the food in the menu.
Read morePros: mango lasi, funny way of ordering
Cons: no pictures in the menu, soup without the taste

Worth the hype - Edit
One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever been to, hands down. No matter the night of the week, I recommend getting a reservation. My friends and I didn’t know how popular it was and had to wait almost an hour for a table! So worth it though. The food is fantastic and very well priced.

Delicious Vietnamese style tapas - Edit
I love that this place does small plates so you can try a bit of everything. Perfect if you’re with a group of people, or if like me you’re just plain indecisive. We ordered 6 small plates (€3.50 each) to share between two of us and everything came out piping hot, really fresh and PACKED with flavour. Forgot to order rice though, which would’ve gone nicely with the buddha bowl and curry. We definitely could’ve indulged in 1 or 2 more dishes to really fill us up but we were trying not to overspend.
Read moreDelicious!! Would happily go back again and again.
Pros: awesome food, restaurant is relatively spacious , fair prices
Cons: strange choice of music - dodgy 00’s pop

Best Vietnam restaurant, that we ever been to - Edit
There is a story behind this restaurant: In 1990 was in Vietnam lack of meat. So the people had to find out, how to make thaditional dishes without it. And you can try the result here. And: it is ubelievably good. You will get a small menu and pen, and you have to choose on the menu your selection from big offer of small portions. At the end there are standing many small bowls of inceredibly tasty meals in front of you. And yes, it is not cheap. And you will wait for it. But it is worth it.
Read morePros: Tasty, concept, Best vietnam food I ever had
Cons: Expensive, You will have to wait

Nice place but inconsistent food - Edit
I came in for dinner with some high expectations given:
Read more- the amount of hype over this place
- the sheer number of Vietnamese food outlets in Berlin (there are so many! 😱)
- my familiarity with Vietnamese cuisine
For the most part, the food and service was good. I could probably count with both hands the number of minutes it took for our food to arrive after ordering (we ordered 2 mains and 3 small sides in total). The place was warmly lit and had a nice cosy ambience.
I ordered the Bowl of Happiness for myself, and the La Lot (stuffed betal leaves) were stuffed with a flavourful umami mushroom filling and were grilled to perfection. The rest of the bowl featured a good helping of red rice, 3 deliciously chewy and meaty soy [censored]-shaped thingies covered in a sweet chili sauce, and a refreshing salad with sprouted soybeans.
My friend ordered the King Kong Bowl, i.e. green curry with rice and salad. Having eaten at many (omni) Vietnamese places in the city over the last 2 years, his verdict was: "Meh".
I also ordered some small sharing bowls: Buddha Bowl (stir-fried tofu cubes), Goi Du Du (papaya salad), and Bun Bao Taco (Taiwanese-style steamed bun with soy meat and salad). I have to say that these dishes were somewhat forgettable on the whole - the stir-fried tofu was average, the bun was somewhat stale and tough with an OK filling, and the papaya salad had a somewhat tangy dressing with tasty herbs (I tasted perilla which was nice), although it could have been stronger for my tastes.
To drink, I had a Red Sensation 1990 - raspberries, basil seeds, longan, lime, and lemongrass iced tea. 8/10; would drink again.
So would I come again? Maybe, although probably just to taste the La Lot again. Given my experience there I would give it a high 3 - it would be an easy 4 if the music wasn't so loud and the food was more consistent.

Very bad😒EDIT: very good! - Edit
My first experience was very, very bad (you can see review below). After a year a friend insisted I try it again. I came back several times after that and it was delicious!😄Try Bowl Of Happiness. It really is a bowl of pure happiness😜I still think stuff could do better at being more friendly tho. They are not bad, but for me, it is a very important part of an experience.
Read moreMY PREVIOUS REVIEW: I have no idea why the ratings are so high. I was really excited to go there. The waiter was extra rude, really, he did not come for like half h so I went smiling asking if we can order and he literally screamed at me that he is coming. When he came he was acting like he really hates us. I asked for no napkins not to create waste and I got two napkins just like him trying to tell me that he does not give a crap. Food was madly bad, no taste, not fresh. Maybe it was their bad day, but I will never know as I am not planning to go back.

Great Flavours ! - Edit
All my vegan friends recommended this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered 7 dishes between two of us to share a bit of everything - great flavours and really good price , the whole bill only came to €23! Friendly staff and quick service considering it was busy. I’d definitely visit again for the green tofu curry!

Good but a bit overhyped - Edit
I think nearly every vegan I know who has ever been to Berlin has recommended this place, so it had quite a bit to live up to. We went for lunch, the food was OK, but didn't really live up to the hype for me. We got 6 small dishes and everything except the summer rolls had been deep fried and was quite greasy. The service wasn't great either, it took about 30 mins before our drinks arrived while the waiter played on his phone. Maybe we just caught them on an off day. I would probably go back and try the evening menu if I was in Berlin but it wouldn't be first on my list of places.
