Madami is always a good idea
While not particularly original or creative, Madami is a successful Vietnamese restaurant (they have several around the city) that has always delivered along the years consistently tasty and quality food in a laid back and nice atmosphere.
The place: the restaurant we usually go is the one close to Alexanderplatz. The design is nice and rather simple: a sort of revisited modern colonial style interpreted in a smart and functional way. The restaurant also has an outside terrace with large long tables that you may end up sharing with other customers.
The service: service was efficient and rather nice, even if a bit cold. Staff though know their job.
The food: while not particularly creative (but to be fair it is named “mom’s Vietnamese cuisine”, so you know you will not go for crazy creative plates), the food is always consistently good and relatively authentic. Products are fresh and tasty, cooking usually good. Got very nice Nem Ran (fried rolls with vegetables and chicken), and really good salmon with peanut sauce and coconut milk. Salmon was perfectly cooked. Satay chicken skewers were good, but the peanut sauce still needs some improvements.
The price: for the kind of food and the venue, I would set the price on the expensive end of its category, but still acceptable. Spent 55 euro with tip.
Overall the restaurant is a good address in the city, especially in my opinion for a nice but rather quick lunch while visiting the city. Personally I wouldn’t go there for dinner, but it’s just my opinion and my feeling.
