This is a great place for a single-person hot pot. The flavor is authentic, and there is a wide choice of ingredients. Be careful not to pick too much when choosing your ingredients, as it's paid by weight.

It used to be one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Berlin. The Peking Duck is a must-have. On my recent visit, the flavor was slightly below their usual standard.

The flavor is excellent—top of the top. A bit pricey after they've raised their prices a few times.

The best Sichuan noodle place tastes like home. It has weird opening hours, but it's a great lunch option.

This Berlin location is from a Chongqing-based hot pot brand. The flavor is amazing, with many options available. Plus, it's easy to order using the iPad at the table.

Best Banh Mi in Berlin! The value-price is still unbeatable.

There's no beating the price-to-value ratio of Hodori for Korean BBQ. They recently reduced the portion size, but it's still worth the money. The Kimchi Pork Belly is a must-have.

Most people go there for the fries, but for me, Goldies still serves the best fried chicken in Berlin. Try their Green Chili Chicken — it's the best guilty pleasure ever!

If I'm in the north of the town. Kokio is a place for fried chicken. I call it Risa with better sauces.

The only German restaurant in Berlin I'd go back to. It feels like a real family-run countryside spot—good portions and authentic food.

Neapolitan-style pizza. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor. They've opened a few locations in Berlin, but the original one is still the best.

Semi-authentic Chinese restaurant in Mitte. Great deal for work day lunch menu.

Wen Cheng becomes so popular recently. The favor is still there, but it's over priced and always crowded.

Kuchi runs several restaurants in Berlin, including Cocolo Ramen. They also serve ramen in the evening, but the lunch menu offers better value for money. The Tori-don lunch set is a must-try.

The dough is made fresh daily, and the toppings are always high quality. It's a bit of a wait during peak hours, but it's worth it.

Ninhao has been around for many years. The hot pot buffet is a great choice for a hangover day. My old job was nearby, and their lunch deal was also great.

Lucky Star is another hot pot buffet in Mitte. The soup broth is mediocre and the ingredients are limited, but its central location makes it convenient for friends to gather. The lunch menu is also a good deal, which boosts its value-for-money score.
