    Cheeseburger with Wagyu upgrade is ❤️❤️!! Chili Lemon Burger is tasty. Ebi Burger is very good. Homemade Fries are ❤️. Two twisted potatoes were not necessary. We ordered a second Wagyu Cheeseburger.

    Really good and original burgers (I really liked the Shizo burger, sweet potato fries, and kimchi). The portions are rather small though, so you won't feel super filled after a burger and a side dish.

    We tried the cheese burger and it was great! They have two kind of meat, the one that is 3 euros more expensive has a softer and juicier meat. You can add some extras to your burger.

    Chilli-lemon burger is where it’s at. Order two and skip the fries. Alternate the wagyu upgrade and find out why it’s worth it.

    I'm crazy in love with the chili lemon, bulgogi and ebi. Wagyu upgrade is worth it. Ananas minze and shiso lemonade are very good. Twisted potato is gimmicky but not as tasty as the sweet potato fries

    During our short visit to Berlin we paid two visits to this Asian-style burger house. All burgers are great, Coleslaw was close to perfect and the fried sweet potatoes were out of heaven! 9,5/10

    Different experience in burgers. Top quality meat and taste. A MUST try!. Better make reservations. Recommendation: Bulgogi Burger with Two Twisted Potatoes. But for hungry person 1 burger isnt enough

    Shiso refers to a herb which is indigenous to China and has a slightly minty flavor. Try the Chili Lemon Burger and Ginger Tea. Order two Burgers if you're hungry. Be on time with table reservations. Read more

    Updated menu in 2019 now has large or double options for a lot of the burgers. The lunch menu is now a 2€ discount on any burger/side/drink combo. Still making the same amazing burgers!

    Chili lemon burger was AMAZING. Def worth upgrading to Wagyu beef. Close call on the chips but I liked the regular fries best. The lemonade was delicious. Great atmosphere and busy; book 😊

    Very original recipes. Amazing, tasty burgers and sides. I truly enjoyed my Bulgogi Birger with recommended cheese. Sweet potatoes and kimchi as sides came really well with it. I honestly recommend.

    Their chili-lime burger is DELICIOUS. I'm a sauce fan and their combinations are brilliant and so tasty! I also enjoyed their twisted potato! Servers were very nice and patient even on a busy night.

    The Ebi (shrimp) burger is very good. I haven't had a chance to have the spiral potato yet, as I think they need to be ordered ahead of time. I agree that the portion sizes could be bigger though.

    Burgers with an Asian twist, with sweet potato fries on the side. A very healthy alternative. On top - they have a sick old school hiphop/r&b playlist that bring back high school chill vibes. :)

    Burger joint with an Asian fusion touch. Food is really good. Place is buzzing. Had the ebi burger with a prawn paddy which both felt new and also really tasty.

    Homemade Fries are soso but burger is the best i have ever had. Everything is just right and perfect. It has also the right size which you can bite a burger completely unlike those super sized one.

    Super tasty Asian inspired burger joint in Mitte. Try the bulgogi burger w/ cheese or ebi burger. The sweet potato fries are good too.

    Burgers with an Asian touch. All excellent, but I would recommend Chili Lemon (if you want meat) or Shiso Burger (if you prefer fish). Homemade French fries: a must! One of the best place in Berlin.

    Definitely try the Bulgogi Burger especially if you like chili, delicious!! The 'Two Twisted Potatoes' is a must. The people are very sweet. Have a pen and paper with you for sure to leave a drawing:)

    Great fries, normal as well as at potato. Burgers are good too. Not big but i like that. 1 plus fries is enough for lunch. They are cheap though so if you're really hungry you can just take 2!

    Best burger I have ever tasted! Nothing else to say! Also really tasteful salad (Pure)! Go for the classical fries and not the double..sth, they are more like chips.

    This place is defending a MUST to go in Berlin. Try Bulgugi burger and you would be surprised. Sweet potato is also a very nice one to try.

    Get the lemon chili burger or the shiso (ahi tuna) burger. I prefer the sweet potato fries over the potato twists. Burgers are a bit small for my American preference so get a double if you're hungry

    The fries are top notch--everyone loves sweet potato fries but I still prefer regular here. Burgers are actually an appropriate size so you can eat it comfortably and they're cooked to perfection!

    Bulgogi burger is what made me recommend Shiso to all my friends. Almost every week we're going there and taste some of the best burgers in Berlin. Twisted potatoes also rock! Must try it!

    Tasty burger but chilli lemon upgraded is a must. All accompanied by home made fries and a coleslaw salad. Be ready to wait 15 min to get a table but it's well worth it!

    Delicious burgers at very reasonable prices. Absolutely loved chili lemon burger & sweet potato fries were to die for. Place is tiny so making reservations recommended, if more than 2 people.

    My “usual”: salmon burger, kimchi, and sweet potato fries. Ohhh... so good. only hidden thing is with hot sauce: they charge €1 for a small amount (unlike other restaurants that give it for free)

    Super lecker. Fun flavors. 💛 the chili lemon burger with a side of kimchi and a dry Reisling, al fresco. 🙌 Notably, the staff is adorable, patient, friendly, and tri-(maybe quad??)lingual.💯

    The burgers themselves are good, but not amazing - what's great here are the variety and quality of the sides. Love the fresh soy beans as an alternative to fries - but the fries are great too!

    Really delicious beef patties, cooked to perfection! Not the biggest burgers but value for money nonetheless. Look out for the Mittagsmenü. Burger, fries and drink for a good price.
