A mixed experience… The food is actually decent - I’ve tried their pork belly, duck, beef, tofu and shrimp tapas. The service is EXTREMELY slow, unfortunately. As a party of 3, we had to wait for 2 hours for our food. I’m not sure whether the food was that great but, after sitting there hungry for a few hours, anything would have tasted amazing.

Update from 05/04/2022

They raised one euro per the dish AND charge 2 euros for TAP WATER. The waiter for the daytime on this day was so rude.

I can see the end of the once well-flourished restaurant.

One of Transit chains in Friedrichshain.

The menu they offer itself is not bad at all even though they’ve got no new items since long time ago. And the staffs as well, I do not particularly find bad, when they could look less bored while working.

But one thing I want to point out is the price of the dishes.

When ordering at the restaurant oneself, one can get each small dish at 3.90€ but I’ve been wondering what reasonable reason is to charge “ONE EURO” when ordering on the delivery app. Since seeing this, I’ve only gone to the restaurant myself for the food.

Please consider this when thinking of ordering from here.

Very tasty small tapas portions, the ambience is typically Asian and the staff friendly.
The price per portion has been increased from 3.90€ to 4.90€ but it's still worth it.

The waiter who served us was rude, full of attitude and fake in his mannerisms. A soulless unpleasant tourist trap for visitors who don’t know any better! A young guy in his 20s. (I was there on 24.07.22 in the evening around 19.00). When I asked to change tables as the ladies bathroom door made loud noise every time someone used it (all it needs is a little padding to fix) and we were seated next to it, the waiter was almost passive aggressive, annoyed and rolled his eyes. „Yeah, go ahead then!! Choose!“..not a hint of warmth in his eyes. He obviously didn’t care how we as clients felt and were we comfortable or not. I could sense some bubbling resentment in him. Very unpleasant!!! I felt confused and uncomfortable. He couldn’t keep an eye contact or didn’t want to. He was indifferent, cold and if I had been alone, I would have walked out. Rude service. The waiter in question moved around like a robot, banged dishes, was rushing. Very bad vibes, absolute disrespect towards paying clients. The restaurant was almost empty so I don’t see what the problem was. Perhaps the fact that I spoke English and complained about the door upset him? Perhaps he thought I am annoying tourist? Which I am not and only visited their restaurant because a good friend recommended it to me. Not sure why some people choose to be in service if they don’t like it or don’t like to deal directly with people. Shame. If I was the boss, I would fire him today! Will never go back there! Food was acceptable. Not mind-blowing though. Hence I did leave tip but for the chef, not for this cocky annoyed little piece of ****! Unfortunately, to make the visit even worse, after finishing our meals, we realized that the food was also over priced for what it was. Tiny tapas portions for €4.90! All four bowls came in different times!! Go to Neukölln and you have delicious main course for what one tapas bowl at Transit costs. The sound of the toilet door still echoes in my mind…the devil is in the detail.

Extremely rude waitresses. They were annoyed the moment we walked in. Practically threw the plates down on the table and didn't return for the rest of the eve. Once we were finished and wanted to pay, the waitresses were sitting and playing on their phones. We waited around 15 minutes before standing up and standing by the door so they recognised that we wanted to go.

The waitress then asked how much I wanted to pay (on top of the bill, meaning a tip). I was completely shocked at the audacity. So I said the amount stated on the receipt, paid, said thank you, wishing them a nice evening. The waitress said nothing, returning to the other waitress to resume playing on her phone. Pretty sure I heard her call me a b****

I also observed them being rude to the customers who came in after us.

Food is mediocre and greasy. Some plates are tasty, but not worth the horrible experience. Shame, I used to rate this place.

The food tasted quite good but the amount of food of some dishes/bowls were very tiny.. Idk, if I order a small soup for 3,90€ per serve, I'd expecting more then only one prawn in it. Same was with the meatball wrapped in La Lot leaf. Also just one piece. But I can't complain anything about the thit nuong (marinated and grilled pork) in that bowl. That one was my favourite though.
Anyway, the taste and the quality was good. The staff were very friendly.
