It’s so difficult to find pad krapow with a proper egg sitting on the rice in Berlin. So when I saw the photos of this restaurant I knew I must come here. Came once at 7 pm and there was no seat. It’s not open everyday either. So it’s just hanging on my mind that I must come here one day, maybe earlier during the day the better.. today I called spontaneously and asked if I could come alone at 6 or 6:30. I was told that only 6, or else it’s full again. I of course came at 6 feeling very fortunate. 😄 The staff are super friendly. They have a cuuuuteeee little dog! I love spicy food and I approve the spice level. The drink is great. There’s free water (the staff said it’s important 😄). And it’s insane that it’s 338 reviews at the time I checked and it’s still 5.0, people reserve weeks in advance and don’t cancel. After hearing that I do business coaching and wanted to make this a case, the staff showed me around and told me how they paid much attention to details to make sure that everything’s authentic, locally made in Thailand, water is filtered, etc. Analyzing this as a business coach, the very high quality and authentic food (marketed properly), plus the very friendly service, gave very good reputation to this restaurant from the beginning. They also ask customers to give reviews (which is what people will happily do if they’re happy with the experience). With more reviews and straight 5.0s there’s more trust to the brand. Plus the scarcity of availability, intentional or not - made people think about it and want to come again, willing to reserve in advance, pay a bit higher prices, and not regretting the experience at all. So overall, great job! Not just regarding the food and service, but also as a...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional Thai restaurant, and I can't help but rave about the entire experience. This establishment, co-owned by a talented Thai chef and an Australian partner, is a culinary gem.
The food here is a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious. It's flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy, allowing the aromatic nuances of each dish to shine. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the impeccable freshness of every ingredient they use. It's evident that quality is a top priority in their kitchen.
Now, let me tell you about the service. The waiter, who happens to be the Australian co-owner, is exceptionally friendly and offers a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to helping you navigate the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made our dining experience all the more enjoyable.
The wine selection is both well-curated and surprisingly affordable, with options as low as 3.5€. It perfectly complements the Thai cuisine and enhances the overall dining experience.
To top it all off, we had the opportunity to meet the chef, adding a personal touch to our visit. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, making you feel right at home.
In summary, this Thai restaurant is truly outstanding. From the exquisite food to the friendly service, it's an absolute must-visit. If you're looking for a remarkable dining experience, look no further – this...

My friends and I were in Berlin for 2 days and went here both nights for dinner. Marcus kindly greeted us and made us all feel comfortable. His recommendations for each of us were flawless - I had the pad krapow with beef and it was slightly too spicy but I could not stop eating until my plate was empty. I also tried the khaw soi gai, opp gai, pad Thai, and mango sticky rice. You could taste the emphasis on quality ingredients from the rice to the basil, making it surprising how the costs remain so fair. Free water and unlimited rice is provided, a welcomed rarity.
Aside from the perfectly delicious food, Marcus and the other kind gentleman make excellent hosts, paired with two lovely dogs Buddy and Lucky. I wish I had the opportunity to interact with Nutt, as he was working hard preparing the food, but I feel as if I learned a bit about him through his friends and his art.
I hope to one day visit Berlin again in order to have this experience one more time. Highly recommend,...
