Shi-Mai — Restaurant in Berlin

We went there on 12th Aug. 21, me, my husband and two kids. We were impressed by the sitting area outside so we decided to eat there. We ordered a Sushi, 1 Kids menu ( chicken nuggets and fries) and one veg fried noodles. And some drinks. The waiter told us our order would be ready in 15 minutes, as the kids were very hungry. We waited and waited and waited and nothing happened. After 20-25 minutes we asked about our order, the waiter told us rudely that all the other tables are waiting too. We decided to wait another 10-15 minutes. After those 15 minutes, we asked again, and the waiter arrived with our drinks. After 45 minutes of waiting, the Sushi and the kids menu arrived, the fries were already cold and the nuggets were full of oil. We were almost done eating and asked about our fried noodles, the waiter once again said it would take 10 minutes. We decided to pay and leave as those 10 minutes were also over. Then he came up with our noodles which were again cold and tasteless. So we paid and left after one and a half hour of sitting around and waiting and in the end we went out hungry. If you have such a huge sitting area, you should have a capable staff to handle all those customers. We as tourists didn’t plan to sit there for so much time, we could have done something else in that time after eating a quick Döner or some other fast Chinese food. The good and positive feedback is...

Came in on a calm night, had the fried chicken with mango curry sauce and my girlfriend had the sushi with some of the fried starters to share. My chicken was allright but really fatty and seemed to be frozen from a package.. they called this Age (japanese fried chicken) which is pretty simple to make in my honest opinion. The starters were fine, exactly as you would expect them. However my girlfriends sushi was just disgusting, the chicken sushi roll had grey pieces of meat in it and tasted fishy. We expected this might be cross contaminated and didn’t finish it. The salmon nigiri was supposed to be charred but instead was white on top looking as if the top dried out due to it being charred ahead of time and then not touched up afterwards. All in all the experience was disappointing as we really were in the mood for any type of asian food but apparently if you try to mix too many different cooking styles it means mediocre of bad food comes out. After that night we both had some stomach issues which might be cause of the steak the day before but that doesn’t excuse the rest. The cocktails are really...

I have been to many VietNamese and Asian Restaurants in Berlin and this place for me is the best.

Location and place: It takes only 10 minutes walking from the Alexanderplatz Station and you can found the restaurant really easy. They have a huge terrasse with lot of seats which are cozy and set with the blankets. Sunny and shadow seats are so perfect for this time in Berlin. Inside part is big as well.

The food and drink were outstanding with that price range. We called for 2 main dishes: 1 Nikishi set no.10 and 1 Crunchy Roll with Salmon 10pcs. Both of them were tasty that I cannot stop giving compliments. The drink was also nice. As a Vietnamese I can say, this restaurant is so much better than I expected to be.

The staffs are very welcoming and friendly. They are smilling which make me feel so good to sit in the environment like this.

If I come to Berlin one more time, I will definitely visit here again....
