My friend and I decided to visit the Markthalle Neun to check out her favorite food, New Zealand…read morePies. As we were getting ready to leave, I literally grabbed her arm and yelled, "Wait! I smell smoked meat!" I followed my nose to an oasis of of meaty delight: Big Stuff Smoked BBQ. I swear that tears formed in my eyes as I saw the writing on the glass display: BRISKET. Alas, my tears of joy turned to tears of sorrow, when the guy in front of me got the last delectable-looking piece. Then the tough decision: pulled pork or pork belly? Well, anyone with a brain would choose the crispy fat and juicy flesh of the pork belly... so I chose pulled pork. ;-) While I was waiting for my sandwich to be assembled, I started up a conversation with the owners about the difficulties of finding brisket in Germany. I was quite impressed with their knowledge of brisket versus tri-tip, and the delicate process of cooking brisket hot, then warm for hours. These guys knew their stuff!! After my pork was pulled (by hand), I was asked to choose a sauce. I went with the spicy one, naturally. Most sandwiches come with a variety of veggies: cucumbers, lettuce, etc., but I'm a purist. Meat, sauce and bun, please. Pickles on the side, if you've got 'em. I think my hands actually trembled a bit when I went to take the first bite. The aroma of the smoky sauce and juicy pork were almost overwhelming. The sandwich did not disappoint. I would even go so far as to say it was on par with some of the best barbecue I've had - even from central Texas, the Vaterland of barbecuing excellence. A glass of tart lemonade, garnished with lime, mint and cucumber was a delicious accompaniment to the sandwich. I'm already planning my next visit at the end of September. I'll be there first thing on Thursday morning, guys. Save me a slab of brisket and a bottle of the spicy sauce!!

They have the smokers, the owner comes from Texas, this is as close as you're going to get in Berlin. That said, the Brisket was a little drier than it should be, and and ribs were just OK. Now, this is compared to Austin BBQ, which is king country for this style of BBQ. If you put the Texas flag up and claim you're THE spot for Texas BBQ, then someone from Texas is going to come in there. The jalapeño sausage is spot on, however. I think it's going to be very hard to hit the true Texas mark, because the smokers are indoor here and you probably can't get the right kind of wood, and I don't know how long or at what temperatures they're cooking at. I really want to give this a more accurate 4.5 stars, because it's Berlin, NOT Texas. But it cannot be 5 because it's just NOT as good as something you'd get IN Texas, but it's the best you're going to come close to in Berlin, or probably all of Europe. So, if you're European, make believe this is 5 stars and you'll love it. If you're a Texan in Berlin, it'll remind you of home, but don't expect Terry Black's or Michelthwait's. Don't even mention the guy who's name begins with F...that would be sacrilege to compare Lino's to F's.

The atmosphere is beautiful and refined, with a very upscale Japanese vibe that makes the whole evening feel special. From the moment we walked in, the staff were extremely attentive and welcoming.

He was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us fantastic recommendations both for which cuts of meat to order and which sake to pair with them. The quality of the food speaks for itself. Every piece of meat was fresh, perfectly prepared, and cooked exactly how we wanted. The sake pairing took it all to another level. If you're looking for a place in Germany that delivers on service, atmosphere, and exceptional food, Ushido should absolutely be on your list. Highly recommend for a date night, birthday, or any special occasion!

But everything else was immaculate. Prefer the only salt wagyu then in soy sauce marinated wagyu. Every kind of premium was spelling premium on your tongue. Every beef they offered was tasty. Also tried the pork belly which was also nice marinated so that the pork had this smokey unique taste. For side dishes I recommend you to try the karaage and agedashi. Very very delicious!!! For veggies we only picked the pumpkin. Very nice flavor and matched the beef very very well. Fyi: you should book in advance or reserve a table since it's always full. Parking is very hard. This restaurant is more on the pricier side! They have a special grill which doesn't make any sounds unlike Korean barbecue where you can here it sizzling.

The mac and cheese could use some love and would taste much better if it was made from scratch. Also the Mexican street corn came straight from the can, but would be much better if corn cobs could be grilled for a bit on the smoker. But the place hasn't been around too long, hopefully the sides will get better with time!
