Ngo Kim Pak — Restaurant in Berlin

Nice, fancy restaurant. Food was on but see yourself.

We went in on an Monday eve. No need to book in advance. The place was quit empty. We've ordered the following dishes: Salt & Pepper Chicken Bun Beef Bun It is like a small little kebab 🥙 with soft bread. It's tasty but just a starter and for about 5 euros each, quit expensive. Edamame soybean 3,00 € Honey BBQ Ribs Tapas chinese spiced baby back ribs 1pcs, pickled cucumber, 5, 00€ : was ok but not special Veggie Miso Ramen japanese miso Ramen, soybean sprouts, wakame, scallion, corn 8,00 €: wasn't good. Just a bit boring And some tea.

The place is fancy and the waiters are nice and friendly. The buns are tasty but a bit expensive for the portion size (5 € means in Berlin, getting a huge dürüm Döner😁).

I think, that because Berlin has so many fantastic and quit cheap Asian restaurants, Ngo Kim Pak has to improve to keep up with others. But that's just...

The place is nice, staff is super friendly, menu looks good, but somehow I wasn't impressed. First I must say their fries are actual real fries made from real potatoes, not the frozen packaged stuff most restaurants serve. Very delicious! Other than that there were hits and misses - the beef buns were very delicious, the deep fried shrimp were drenched in sauces, I think that was too much, but otherwise nice. The spicy tuna bowl was nice, the white fish ceviche wasn't impressive, so were the Japchae Bulgogi noodles. The fried chicken bun was great as well, the spicy miso sauce that I ordered extra was ok taste-wise but not really emulsified as a sause, had weird texture. I would give 3.5 if I could, sadly no halves possible. In general ok place but I don't see myself recommending it as a must if a friend comes...

Thanks to the food and the waiters, the eating experience was really weird.

If you like very dry food, this is the place to go! The waiter even explained, it's their specialty.

Since I had difficulties downing the dry rice and meat (beef bowl), I asked the waiter if they had some sauce to go with it. But as the waiter explained, the dish is designed to be like that, so even if it wasn't to my liking, there was nothing to be done. For me, even ketchup would have made the experience more enjoyable, but that seemed not to be an option.

It wasn't tasty, but at least I was able to spend a lot...
