We had lunch at The Panda Noodle in October 2021 and had the best meal of our vacation. Excellent thai dishes, charming and helpful staff, colourful surroundings and a great neighbourhoo. We will make sure to come back next time we visit Berlin.

Love everything here. Atmosphere, outdoor seating, decorations. The fact that the dishes were fresh as f*@€k and actually spicy. Herbs, good beer, nice people. Will come back! ❤️

Usually I don't like Curry until I ate it here and realised what an actual good Curry is! Deep, rich and flavour but still very fresh, lots of veggies and other toppings, only the service could be in a little better mood, but they are still helpful and nice

I was expecting much more.

The place has "Noodle" in its name, but it only offers two noodle dishes: Dan Dan and Szechuan. On the pictures, there is a board with toppings that you can add to customize your dish, but it turned out they don't do it anymore.

I took the Dan Dan and it was one of the worst Asian dishes I've had in a while and this is because of the amount of Szechuan pepper that was added. It tasted bad and I felt quite bad after for a while.

I love Asian and spicy food, but this dish had just unbelievable amount of the Szechuan pepper, which is not spicy in a way a chilli pepper is, but instead it has much more intense, herbal flavour. So the noodles tasted as if I was eating strong herbs, instead of noodles, meat and some tasty broth. I've eaten dishes from Chinese cuisine and hot pots many times before, but it was never like that.

Apart from that, even if it didn't have that amount of Szechuan pepper, it just a very basic dish: noodles, some minces meat, cucumber, and some broth on the bottom. The portion was also quite small. Thus, as someone else mentioned in the reviews, I don't understand where the hype for this place is coming from. There are just so many better choices in that neighbourhood.

Maybe other dishes are good or maybe it was just not the best fit for my taste, but I will not go there again and I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.

I know it's what some people who consider themselves hip (mind you, hip is neither contemporary nor futuristic, just hip) like this place. The truth is, the food is average at best, the beer warm out of the fridge, the furniture looks like it comes straight out of a dump and it's teeny tiny.

I tried the Yam Gai with chicken and it was tasty: rich wirh flavour and a bit spicy however not something very special that I have never tried. Its apperance and serving is quite simple. Served in a plastic plate. One has to order at the bar and they accept only cash. The staff is quite friendly. The cashier did not speak german (only english). When I came there were tables outside and just one table inside which was already taken. I asked and they arranged for me a table inside (it was a very hot sunny day) - that was nice of them to do. I guess I would come back as I read good recommendatio s about this place and I want to try their other dished but till now it wasn't a 5 stars experience for me (therefore only 4).
