The food was good, but it was missing that little extra to make it really stand out. The Pho Love had a nice, salty broth, but it needed something fresh or a sauce to drizzle on top to bring it together. The Deep Gold Beef was good too, but the mango was cut a bit too thick and was too unripe (tasteless). It also needed more rice and definitely more sauce with some spice. It felt like all the right ingredients were there, but they did not quite come together in the end. The service was okay, but it was not effortless. There were a few moments where things felt a bit all over the place and not as smooth as they could have been.
Been a regular for ages and today i tried their vietnamese coffee and their lunch special, so good and they never disappoint. The lunch included a soup as well, altogether was only 8.9€. Nga was especially helpful and made the whole dining experience so pleasant!
Still one of the best places in Berlin for an easy but delicious lunch. Interesting and unique menu, weekly specials, all prepared quickly and full of flavour. Plenty of outdoor seating and amazing decorations inside. Lots of staff ready to serve. Unique drinks, all worth a try - from tea to coffee.
I had a great experience at Umami. I ordered the fried duck with rice noodles and coconut sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The duck was crispy and flavorful, while the coconut sauce added a rich and creamy touch that paired perfectly with the noodles. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was friendly and efficient. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back to try more dishes. Highly recommended for anyone looking for tasty Asian cuisine in Berlin! The only downside was the uncomfortable seat.
Umami P-Berg is one of my favorite spots to eat in Berlin. The food comes out super fast at a very affordable price. Also I can recommend the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk a lot. If your looking for affordable and amazing food near Prenzlauer Berg, this is the spot.
