Asian cuisine - and this Falstaff best list - unite a colourful variety of countries of provenance and their flavours: China, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand and many more. Those who immediately think of street food and stand-up pubs are missing a trick. Let yourself be surprised by Berlin's best Asian restaurants.

At the Hot Spot in Charlottenburg, Jianhu Wu focuses on recipes from the provinces of Szechuan, Jiangsu and Shanghai. The dishes perfectly combine spiciness and mildness. There is also an outstanding wine list.

Wu Yuhang in the kitchen and Jonas Borchers in service create menus consisting of dishes that are meant to be shared. The range of modern Chinese dishes varies depending on the season.

While enjoying one of the three authentic Korean menus with fish, meat or vegetables, guests sit at the chic counter in the middle of the restaurant. Tea or wine is served with the meal.

Krossener Straße 15, 10245 Berlin, Germany

Simple restaurant with slightly hectic service and all the tastier specialities from northern China. We recommend the gongbao chicken or beef with cumin, accompanied by a Riesling. Special occasions can be celebrated at the traditional turntable.

Goebenstraße 23, 10783 Berlin, Germany

The hippest store in town serves hand-pulled "Biang Biang" noodles with chilli oil and presents its gastronomy through a glass kitchen. Queuing is hard to avoid, the atmosphere more for a quick meal. Highlights include eggplant or lamb noodles.

Schönhauser Allee 65, 10437 Berlin, Germany

Queues tend to form in front of the store with its striking neon red logo at weekends. In the hip industrial chic with aluminum walls and beverage crates, they offer one of the best Korean BBQs in the city. For non-grillers, there's Bibimbap or Tteokbokki.
