The restaurant is, IMO, the best for Filipino food in Berlin. It's a good place. You'll like the…read moresimple decor and the triptych of the rice terraces on the wall and the really wide windows that remind you of old-style houses in the Philippines. On to the food: Ensaladang Mangga is a great appetizer. I always order sinigang na baboy for the main dish, but their pinakbet and dinuguan are also worth it. Lechon Kawali is a great side dish. Friends also liked their tapsilog and other silogs (I didn't order). Their adobo is not good, but it could just be during that one day I went there. Service could really be improved though. Waiting times tend to be long, but the owner is a pleasant lady to talk to (Lang: ENG/FIL/GER). I suggest you make reservations, and also check to make sure not to go there when there is a buffet (waiting times will be even longer). But the restaurant is in a pretty area in Berlin, and the street is quiet and easy, esp during the weekends. Close to Ubahn station; really convenient to find. After lunch, friends and I had ice cream and walked around Schloss Charlottenburg park, which is just close by. Patrons are mostly Filipinos and Germans.

It made me incredibly happy to see many familiar Asian foods in this market. Being thousands of…read moremiles away from home, this market provided me with all the components necessary for making my favorite Filipino dishes. My goal during my last visit was to pick up a few Filipino ingredients. Although, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, and Korean ingredients and specialty foods are also sold at Asia Mekong: Sauces and spices, dried seaweed wrappers, assortments of bagged and loose leaf teas, oodles of noodles, and frozen dumplings (give em a try; they're surprisingly good for being frozen!) can all be found. Even freshly made packaged foods like Kimchi are available for purchase in the refrigerator section. What I especially enjoy about Asia Mekong are the familiar brands carried. I was fortunate to had discovered Spring Home brand egg roll wrappers, bottles of Datu Puti vinegar, and packages super sweet Philippine Dried Mangoes. Prices are reasonable, I believe, especially if you're on a tight budget; though, fresh foods do cost a little more. Service at Asia Mekong is efficient and friendly. They deliver some of the best customer service I've experienced during my weekly supermarket trips. Awesome selection of food, CLEAN shop, recognizable brands, and welcoming service: these are some of the factors that make Asia Mekong one of my favorite grocery stores to shop at in Berlin.

Pretty disappointed. Minimal selections. Definitely don't go here for Asian produce because they…read morebarely have any. I bought one of the two or three brands of kimchi they had and it is not that good. Their sauce selection also wasn't great. I also bought a lot of ramen -- they had a decent variety but it could be better. It was super hot in there and the service is really bad. I don't think I will be returning here. There just isn't enough!

Unfortunately it is no longer there, but Asia Mekong has a few other locations and the one in…read morePrenzlauer Berg is nice as well. Old (2018) Review First thing is the loose/fresh tofu (the best in Berlin!) And I've tried them all as I cook a lot of Asian dishes and have shopped at every Asian store in Berlin since I've been here over the last 5 years or so. They also carry a very good selection of quality pre-packaged tofu. They manage to get in quite an international array of products in this shop - Thai, Korean, Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Taiwanese, Nepalese, Malaysian, etc. They carry a good selection of Asian staples and some surprisingly reasonable speciality items, spices, spice mixes, sauces, noodles, teas, dried and canned goods, frozen and refrigerated products, etc. They have all the standard Asian fresh produce such as Daikon radish, Bok Choi, Napa cabbage, spring onions, bean sprouts, Achiote, plantains, fresh coconuts, etc. They even have yummy Asian snacks and drinks to grab and go. There is an extra room behind/past the register with more products (Ramen, large bags of rice, etc.). They also carry some Asian cookware, rice cookers and health/beauty/personal care. The store is clean, organised, average prices and decent enough service by Berlin standards. It's in a great location (very central, right next to Alexander Platz).

Most likely the biggest Asian supermarket in Berlin with a great selection of Chinese, Vietnamese,…read moreIndonesian, and Filipino food items, plus tons of frozen stuff and a large vegetable row. They provide parking in the back of the building which is free if you enter a code you receive at the register.

Great selection, clean, reliable, and with free parking. I cook mostly Thai and Indian, and…read moreoccasional Chinese and Japanese dishes; this supermarket has everything I ever need (whether I'm cooking from scratch or cheating with quick sauces and pastes) and at excellent prices. One tip: like all Asian stores, there is significantly more in stock directly after a weekly or biweekly delivery, rather than a constant seamless stocking. If the produce looks on the meager side, just ask about their next delivery date and come back in a day or two.
