Mizumi Restaurant — Restaurant in Berlin

I was the only Asian who was in this restaurant when I entered, which was 80% full so the alarm bells started to ring. But I couldn’t leave as I was with 2 other European work colleagues and we were deep in conversation about meetings that partook earlier in the day. Despite us still in deep conversation, the waiter tried to interrupt us twice to order before I commented that he should return in a couple of minutes. Subsequently another waitress did the same, twice! All this within 10 minutes of us sitting down!

The food was very mediocre. My rice bowl had sweet mayonnaise all over the top and it was certainly not made with Japanese rice. The kimchi was awful in taste too. The dragon roll which was the starter wasn’t very authentic. Thankfully my 2 colleagues aren’t exposed to Asian food so they thought it was great. One of them ordered the Beef Pho and judging from the lackluster colour of the broth (I make this from scratch at home), it wasn’t as rich as it should be but my colleague “loved it”. They did however comment that their desserts were awful. The matcha ice cream tasted of “milk” with zero taste of matcha (commented my French colleague who is used to creamy desserts). I mentioned that 1. This is Germany and 2. This is a Vietnamese-run restaurant, so this is to be expected. The fried banana was greasy - commented the other.

All in all, good for Europeans who have no idea what good Asian food is. Especially the young who are celebrating hen’s nights and birthdays (2 tables that evening). It’s a big no-no for any one looking for decent...

I enjoyed the food and service, until I needed to pay. Then I got scammed by the waiter.

First, he asked me if I needed a receipt - my mistake to say "no". Then he suggested that I leave a 10% tip, I said 5%, and then he just asked me to put a card . (It is already not cool, I want to sit and decide for myself how much I want to leave). A bit later I realised that the bill was too expensive for what I have taken. I counted the total sum myself and came back to confront him. He said "oh, I was thinking you wanted to give me all this money for a tip". I said: "no, I said 5%". He replied: "okay, here are some coins back" and gave me a few coins. (!! Nice service, the best he could do - apologise and return all extra money back so I decide for tip again)). I realised that in the end i am still paying almost ten percent but did not want to argue because I was already too irritated.

Good food but will never come back and will be always counting the exact price everywhere from now on. Can't believe that I can't trust people in restaurants, especially considering it is not a...

We call before reaching once there the team members were nice synchronised to handle the attendance of orders, all of them were asian so I love it makes feel like you are in an authentic place. They located me inside as wished the dinner tine was super crowded but the attending was still good the guys were always smiling and there to answer any questions related to the dishes. The menu has plenty of options ideal for any size of group the flowers in most of the decorations were natural 🥰 I choose the Duck and definitely recommend the starter were rice paper vegetables rolls and dessert was tasty honey fried banana with ice cream one😋 Minh was super friendly always smiling and it was nice even when the restaurant was full house the guys were paying attention to the details, but maybe for the dinner should think about extra support as it was a Monday and non free tables at 8.30pm. Ensure they have availability if is a special occasion. They did sing happy birthday was funny thank you for the cool...
