Our waiter was quite friendly--he was great help when I thought I broke the cigarette machine in the back alcove--and was very patient with our English. The food is mostly Thai, but there is a full sushi bar as well. The menu selection is huge: sushi; tons of noodle and rice dishes; shrimp; chicken and beef dishes; fish and shrimp dishes; and a dessert selection (if you see an overlap there, don’t blame me-—those are the actual categories on the menu). There is also a vegetarian section consisting of eight or so items (which didn’t seem to be standard in Berlin).

After a lengthy debate, we started with a German beer, a house white wine (there’s a small but solid wine list), and some veggie spring rolls. The rolls were hot and delicious, and the sweet-and-sour dipping sauce was spicy and tangy. The house white turned out to be a tasty chardonnay, and the half-pint of Herforder was nice and refreshing (especially for 2 euros). For the main course, I had a pineapple chicken and rice dish which, when it came out, was actually served inside a pineapple. When our waiter lifted the top, steam came pouring out, and the shrimp, rice, sliced almonds, peanuts, and pineapple within were absolutely delicious. My friend’s curry was apparently very good as well.

After the meal, we were served a small liqueur of bright green liquid--it turned out to be a refreshing kiwi/mango infusion. Since I haven’t had this kind of food in Thai restaurants before, I can’t say if it’s authentic or not. It is very, very tasty, however and, for the amount of food and friendly service, the prices were pretty good (the bill was about 40 euros for both of us). Overall it’s a great spot for a quiet and delicious meal.

P.S. Upon closer inspection of the bill, this restaurant appears to be owned by Mao Thai, a popular Thai restaurant in Prenzlauer Burg (which already has two other spin-offs in Berlin).
