Just off Kantstraße, this Sichuan eatery brings the heat with its star dish, shui zhu yu, a tender sea bass simmered in an aromatic, mouth-numbing broth. For those less spice-inclined, there are plenty of milder options, including steamed egg custard and a variety of dim sum.

This restaurant is serving up addictive Korean street food, including jjajang-tteokbokki (black bean sauce over chewy rice cakes) and gimmari (crispy fried seaweed rolls). Round out your meal with a freshly rolled gimbap and stick around for a glutinous dessert of red bean gaetteok.

From its modern wooden accents to the checkered floors, Onette blends local charm with diner nostalgia; the menu offers comfort classics like Kartoffelpuffer, served with a fried egg and caramelised onion cream. Enjoy it with a side of hash browns (may the best potato win) or a delectable Spreewaldgurke.
