What? Now the surprise: the meal size was ok, the taste not bad and quality for that price also ok. Overall unbeatable price to value ratio! If you work or live close by or are on a budget this is your spot! Don't expect a cozy interior or great service when you pay that price.

Decided to try something different on our last night in Berlin. Yelp pointed us to Dudu, which…read moredidn't disappoint. Outdoor seating was packed, but pretty much all the (long) tables inside were open. So if it's nice out and you want to sit outside, be prepared to wait. Since almost all the patrons were eating outside, service inside was somewhat slow. Menus were already on the tables, but it took some time to flag down a waiter and get one in English. Food came out in a timely manner, though. Before placing your order, be sure to check out specials on the chalk board! Dudu's menu mainly consisted of a mix of Vietnamese dishes and sushi. Decided to start with dumplings and the starter beef pho. Although both were good, I enjoyed the dumplings more. I liked how the dumpling wrapper wasn't too thick and that it was packed with pork. The dipping sauce went well with the dumplings and wasn't too sour or spicy. I liked how you can order a starter of the pho. It was the perfect size to get a taste of the dish, leaving room for other items on the menu. The small bowl was packed with noodles and beef shavings. The soup itself didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked it to, but it was still good. Our main meal consisted of a variety of rolls that we shared. The salmon avocado and tuna rolls were pretty good, although standard. The fish was fresh and the ratio of fish to fish was good. The crispy yellow roll, one of Dudu's special rolls, was just okay. The roll itself was deep fried and contained avocado and cucumber. Separate from the roll was diced spicy tuna that you were supposed to eat with the roll. If I knew it would came like this, I don't think I would have ordered it. I was over the actual roll pretty quickly, but really enjoyed the spicy tuna. I also tried some of C's "rice for kids", which was a small bowl of soup rice with chicken on top. He quickly ate all the chicken, but left most of the rice. Again, didn't know the rice would be rice mixed in a broth. You could tell the broth had ginger in it as the taste was pretty prominent. Not so sure this is a good idea for a kid's dish...the only kid's meal offered. Price of all the food was reasonable, although pricier than typical meals in Berlin.

The Vietnamese spring rolls were just OK. The sashimi and sushi were extremely fresh and delicious tasting. Very impressed. The rolls are generous, big portions. The chicken curry was OK. Could have used a little bit more heat. Overall really positive and enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend and come back.

And there is this place - which is, genuinely, amazingly, great. The noodles have the right tooth, the broth is unctuous and umami laden, the meats/veggies/tofu/... are done just right - I mean, this is amazeballs!

I would expect German food to be done well in the motherland, but Asian fusion? I was skeptical…read more Modern looking interior, it can be all looks and no substance. All preconceived notions and misconceptions were proven wrong. Asian fusion CAN be amazing in Berlin! and at Avan, picky eaters are even satisfied with the compact menu by choosing their popular bento box. You can choose up to 3 dishes which are about appetizer portion served in a bamboo basket. It makes for a cool presentation but if you're absolutely starving, just order the full size entree. I HIGHLY recommend getting the clear broth soup, dumplings and the Laotian curry. You won't be disappointed. Save yourself the extra change and skip ordering water since your bento box comes with tea. I ordered an extra drink on the side -- a ginger limeade -- it is as refreshing as it sounds! If you need to munch on something before your actual meal, order an onigiri (vegetarian, duck, fish, etc) it's delivered fresh everyday: the rice is super moist, the filling is just right and the seaweed wrap retains its crispness. Pretty much perfection and worth the €3 price! I love Avan and look forward to returning here next summer!

The food was mediocre and we had our business dinner there. Lessons learned - NEVER take your customer / date or whatever to this place. Just never come lol and you'd be safe.

Delicious flavor and presentation. Cooked perfectly, broth could have used a bit more depth in flavor but I rounded it out with a touch of ground pepper. The dumpling with side sauces were absolutely wonderful and nicely prepared. Assortment of meats and vegetables all loaded and steamed to perfection. The entree deserves top billing as it was arranged beautifully which mirrored the delicious flavor of the meat and accompanying vegetables. Loads of flavor, cooked perfectly and married with a nice sauce. The highlight was a glass of champagne offered at the start of the meal. Bubbly, not overly sweet and it was a great way to start the meal. Highly recommended. Beautiful location, very clean and nicely decorated for the holidays. Wir haben am Silvesterabend hier angehalten, um eine Feier für 2025 zu genießen. Es gab ein 3- und 4-Gänge-Menü und wir haben uns für das 3-Gänge-Menü entschieden. Es begann mit der Pilz- und Hühnersuppe. Köstlicher Geschmack und Präsentation. Perfekt gekocht, die Brühe hätte etwas mehr Geschmackstiefe vertragen können, aber ich habe sie mit einer Prise gemahlenem Pfeffer abgerundet. Die Knödel mit den Beilagensaucen waren absolut wunderbar und schön zubereitet. Auswahl an Fleisch und Gemüse, alles perfekt geladen und gedünstet. Die Vorspeise verdient höchste Anerkennung, da sie wunderschön angerichtet war, was den köstlichen Geschmack des Fleisches und des dazugehörigen Gemüses widerspiegelte. Jede Menge Geschmack, perfekt gekocht und mit einer schönen Sauce gepaart. Das Highlight war ein Glas Champagner, das zu Beginn der Mahlzeit angeboten wurde. Sprudelnd, nicht zu süß und es war ein toller Start in die Mahlzeit. Sehr empfehlenswert. Wunderschöne Lage, sehr sauber und schön für den Feiertag dekoriert.

Food-wise that's all I ordered that I'd consider good or worth ordering again. Shumai appeared freshly made but wasn't authentic. It did contain a generous amount of ground meat but lacked ginger and scallion and a rich, complex enough flavor in general. Tapas I ordered were also a bit lackluster. Fried tofu was definitely better than the coconut shrimp - avoid coconut shrimp at all costs if you want to taste any coconut,l. But if you want simply fried shrimps without any spice it's not bad. Tofu could use more salt, pepper, and other spices. They really tried with that one though. As other noted the environment is pretty chill and trendy. No issues with service. They also have lunch specials.
