Mae Charoen Thai Imbiss in Berlin

My favorite Thai place in Berlin!

Delicious, great, cheap Thai restaurant. The women in the kitchen are very nice!

I was persuaded to come here by the good reviews. However, after eating, I must side with the minority opinion, as all I could taste in my Pad Thai was ketchup. As I don't like ketchup, that made it quite unpleasant. People who like/love ketchup will probably have a great time here. The staff were very nice.

Wow. Very very tasty. I had 29, rice with tofu and curry, paid 8.5 euros.

I ordered the Massaman had an authentic Thai flavor that took me straight to the heart of Thailand. The richness of the curry, combined with perfectly cooked potatoes and tender chicken, made every bite a delight the rice felt small but ok. You can tell the aunties in the kitchen know exactly what they’re doing, bringing traditional flavors with a homemade touch. The balance of spices, sweetness, and creaminess was spot on definitely a dish made with love and experience.

Unfortunately it has deteriorated massively in the last 1-2 years. The chicken meat in particular tastes like nothing. Pad Thai sticks together completely and the taste has also deteriorated considerably. Tofu is also probably the cheapest from the wholesale market. I would also be willing to pay a higher price for more quality. Unfortunately, it is no longer authentic Thai cuisine. However, the staff is very friendly

Price great Eating well (Pat Thai duck crispy, very dry/old Tom Ka Gai soup max. lukewarm)

Once you order Pad Thai here, you won't do it again.

Great spot. Tasty and well priced. Service is fast and it’s great to see a small business run by women.

Very small and simple place with good food. This place is very small, there's barely space inside, except for ordering. They only take cash and you pay as you order. The food was simple but good—what I expected from street food style. It was well prepared and served very fast. This is not the kind of place I'd get out of my way to visit, but a very good option if you are in the area and fancy something simple.

The Thai food here is amazing. I recommend trying all the dishes. The rice is really good. And it's cheap.

Pad Thai is good, but I don't know why the ladies are so unfriendly. Last time she looked at me and smashed the dish on the counter with a serious face without saying anything. Also almost every time I go there they raise the prices. So have to reduce 3 stars.

For the price and the taste nothing even comes close! Best Thai In berlin hands down! Ran by some cool older Thai ladies they take the order cook the order scream out your order you take and eat. Great “hole in the wall” place!!! Get the squid pad kropow soooo good

We ordered the pad thai with chicken, and it was actually very good. It felt authentic. The service is not very friendly and they do not speak any English. But beyond that, the food is very good.

Authentic, delicious, cheap. We went as a large group and ordered different dishes. We found the food incredibly tasty. You will definitely be full. The prices are reasonable. There is also a really great, warm atmosphere there. You feel good. Unfortunately, the seats go quickly.

The meals are tasty for the price, and still affordable. But you may not find a place to sit during peak hours, so rather consider take out.

Great place to pick up some food on the go. Besides I like their taste it's even a very affordable place 👍

The ladies that assist here are super nice, the price is really affordable for the amount of food they give. The taste is good, it can be better, but it's understandable. Drinks are a bit high on price, but it is also understandable. I can see myself returning here if i want something different one day.

Good, honest and affordable food 👍🏼🌿

My favorite Thai place in Berlin

We had Pad Thai and spring rolls today and live right around the corner. When we walked past the food always made a good impression. But it's a complete disappointment. Pad Thai consists only of noodles, some chicken, a touch of sauce and a few bamboo shoots. Never again!

Very small and fine shop. There are no more than three small tables. Food is breathtakingly good!

So good and cheap! Really recommend.

Unfortunately the pad thai was too sweet and less flavorful than expected. The ketchup was the dominating flavour. I missed also some crunchy peanuts bits that are normally served with the pad thai.

I like it very much, unfortunately no card payment

Great food, good prices, really good tom kha gai. Few seats which doesn't matter to me ;)

I was always enthusiastic about the good Pad Thai, but that's no longer the case today. Totally sweet and tomato ketchup are the only two things I can taste! A pity!

Honest Thai women who will prepare you an outstanding Pad Thai and other Thai dishes. Small, cute snack bar with a few seats outside, but is perfect for to-go.

One of my favorite Pad Thais and the atmosphere is great in my opinion. Friendly staff, just don't expect exceptional service :)

Great food and very fair prices

Best pad Thai outside of Thailand :)

Best Thai food in town! Vegan friendly!

Tastes like Thailand. Unfortunately, some of it is too sweet.

The food tastes really delicious, unfortunately there is only one seat in the restaurant itself, so you either have to sit outside or take the food with you.

This is the best pad Thai in Berlin ever !

i love the Pad Thai there!!! Its such a good Spot for good Thai Food for a decent Price

Five stars! There is nothing more to say!

Real Padthai here from a Thai person review. If I want to eat glass noodle Padthai I always come here. I think it is a bit r-c*st to say it tastes like ketchup on some review. Hmm tamarind maybe, but ketchup.. wow

Despite the fact that the cafe has very little place to dine in, I go there with a great pleasure and don’t mind to wait in a queue or to take out. Portions are huge and prizes low!!!

The portions are big and the food is delicious! 🙂

Amazing Pad Thai 10/10 recommended

consistently awesome thai food !

Super Thai shop, small and often full, but worth it.

Small but very nice place to eat! Affordable prices with big and super tasty portions!

The Pad Thai in particular was very tasty!

My favorite place in Berlin for chicken pad thai :) the food is always quick and tasty and the ambience is cozy.

Tasty and affordable food. Most importantly, kindest people. I like them a loooooot. The people and the restaurant.

Hmm, I was very pleasantly surprised. The shop doesn't look like much on the outside, and some of the food looks rather inconspicuous - but it really tastes very good. This is more than worth its (fairly low) price. Well, the seating is a bit cramped and uncomfortable, but there's nothing better in the area for a quick lunch. I will come here more often.

Thai style snack. Large portions, fair price. Depending on how you feel on the day, food ranges between good and average.

Süßer Laden mit super leckerem authentischen Thai Food.

Ich habe lediglich Essen zum Mitnehmen bestellt und wurde bis jetzt nicht enttäuscht. Das rote Curry mit Garnelen ist köstlich. Preise sind in Ordnung und die Größe der Portionen ausreichend. 8/10 👍🏾

8€ for a pad thai that is not much more than noodles with ketchup? Stay away from this place!

Generous portions and cute atmosphere. However, no hint of coriander in my curry, let alone copious amounts of fresh coriander on top. I didn't taste lemongrass, either, a little bland. Pad Thai has no real crunch. Didn't bowl me over and no match to street food in Thailand.

Tiny little Imbiss with tasty food. Have to wait for about 15 mins plus most of the times, but the wait is always worth it.

echtes thailändisches Essen zu einem fairen Preis.

Mae Chaeron has to be one of my favourite places to eat in Berlin and in Neukölln especially. Great food, super quick, not expensive at all (especially for the quantity, sometimes it's like two meals) and miles better than most Asian restaurants around the same price point. It can be tough to get a place to sit there sometimes, but if you're getting something to go, it's always a good shout. The Kau Pat (fried rice) is my personal favourite but the Pad Thai is fantastic and so are all the curries, soups and the menu in general. I've probably been there 50+ times at this point and it rarely, if ever, disappoints. Huge thank you to the Thai aunties of Sonnenallee - we love you!

Nice little no nonsense Thai restaurant with good food.

Leider geil, gutes Essen und lustiges Ambiente :)

Hab mir hier grünes Curry bestellt und wurde nicht entäuscht, auch wenn es nicht ganz an die Thai-Schärfe herankommt. Es war aber schön cremig und hatte eine leichte Würze. Der Laden selber ist sehr klein und man bekommt zur Mittagszeit eher keinen freien Tisch, also drauf einstellen zum Mitnehemn zu bestellen.

Vermutlich beliebt weil es recht günstig ist, aber mit echtem Thai food hat das so gar nix zu tun. Weder lecker noch authentisch. ไม่อร่อย ไม่เหมือนกับประเทศไทย ผัดกะเพราไม่มีกะเพรา 555

Mae Charoen Thai Imbiss in Berlin offers authentic Thai cuisine in a quaint setting. Though small and often crowded, the charm and flavors transport you to Thailand. With generous portions, delicious Pad Thai, and a homey ambiance, it's a genuine Thai dining experience in the heart of Berlin.

Perfect! Great Price value and super friendly staff

Perfect Thai experience and food

Wir haben zu zweit eine Suppe (Tom Kha Gai) einen Rindfleischsalat und Ente mit rotem Curry gehabt. Die Suppe war geschmacklich gut, nur aus unerfindlichen Gründen sehr süß. Der Salat war schön scharf und lecker. Die Ente war leider fast ungenießbar - das Fleisch war alt und wurde in Scheiben geschnitten nochmal frittiert - die Farbe war zwischen graubraun und schwarz - und man hat deutlich die Fasern gesehen (ähnlich Jahresringe bei einem Baum 😵‍💫) Auch der Curry war leider sehr süß und kein bisschen scharf. Natürlich ist mir klar, dass bei einem Preis von 9€ kein NeulandFleisch drin sein wird, aber dieses Fleisch war einfach alt, das hat man auch geschmeckt. Wahrscheinlich lebt der Laden wirklich vom Preis und von den guten Bewertungen von vor 6-8 Jahren .... wir kommen nicht wieder - von uns keine Empfehlung 🫤

Besser kann einfach nicht sein! Empfehlung: 26 mit Rinderfleisch

Bestes Phat Thai in ganz Berlin

Great pad Thai! Good street food vibes

Absolutely amazing food! Perfect for a quick bite or even better for take-away 😍😋

Best Place! Fantastic food! Highly recommend!! Only problem: you might not find place and have to wait….

Meiner Meinung nach eines der besten Thaiessen in Berlin. Gutes Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis. Leider wenig Platz um Vorort zu essen.

Came for the good reviews, found many people eating outside and inside, the atmosphere was awesome with cute German „Bier-Sitzbänken“. Chicken Pad Thai was ok, not the best to be honest, but the three old Thai ladies cooked it - so it was adorable.

Best thai place in Berlin! Always get their shrimp pad thai to go and it’s so good!

Super Ambiente und super Essen Gwietau kann ich empfehlen

Great portions of wonderfull food, nice price, laidback atmosphere! Love it. Try the wantans, and enjoy life.

Es ist ein Imbiss, man sollte also keinen speziellen Flair erwarten. Das Essen war gut und preiswert.

ASIAN-APPROVED! Pad thai tastes... right! Well, except not spicy enough, but there's a selection of chili sauce/oils to sort that out, PHEW. The salad was good spice though! Not enough peanuts or cilantro for the pad thai, but we just asked her and she delivered =) Portion sizes great, not skimpy with the topping (ie. plenty of egg / tofu / prawn / whatever you ordered) and the price is right. Not too long of a wait. I would just complain about the styrofoam takeout boxes =((((( Otherwise yes, I come back! Bring your own food container!

Ich esse gerne dort. Heute den Rindfleisch Salat für 9€ mit der Bitte nicht scharf, war sehr scharf für mich. Und im Reis war ein Haar :(

proper street food place - the best pad thai over at this part of town. check out dan thai food if around wedding

Echte Thailänder, schon mal 5 Sterne brauchte Extra Portion Reis, da etwas wenig im Teller, es gab viel für 2 Euro, daher noch 4 Sterne, Service nicht besonders freundlich,ok. Keinerlei Rechnung, alles schwarz, ok, Hygiene 2 Punkte leider. Schmutzig, Fleisch wird nicht richtig gewaschen,Tische schmutzig, Teller oberflächlich gereinigt etc etc. Preis zwar gut,4 Punkte bis auf den Reis, jedoch fehlt es komplett an den typischen Kräutern und Thai Aroma, Dann doch lieber 1 Euro mehr verlangen und Ingwer,Thai Basilikum, Chiilis etc.verwenden, nicht nur Fertigpaste.

After reading about the amazing Pad Thai, my boyfriend and I had to go check it for ourselves. We had a portion each, with shrimp, and the serving size is pretty big and there’s a good amount of shrimp. I kept eating and eating and thought the food wouldn’t dwindle down! I had to pack mine up to eat the rest at home so good prices for good serving sizes; check! Now, I don’t even think I had had Pad Thai before but my boyfriend loves Thai food and is pretty well versed on his love of the cuisine. We both were a little uncertain of how we felt about the food for the first few bites. I think I had been influenced by the reviews saying it tasted like noodles with ketchup and I could initially understand why they were saying that. There’s a sweetness there but I think it’s still a very ignorant way to describe the flavor of the food. After we got a few more bites in with the ingredients mingling, the lime juice on top, it all came to together and we loved it. I loved it for what it was (since I have no point of reference) and my boyfriend also loved it for being a great Pad Thai. Check! It’s a hole in the wall with limited seating so eat and go, pack it up and go, or bring your own Tuperware like I saw someone do. They move fast and practically all customers were ordering the Pad Thai. We got two portions, a coconut drink, and a Coke, and I think it cost 22€.

Meine lieben thaiomas! Jedoch schmeckt es mittlerweile sehr sehr lieblos! Maße statt klasse! Echt schade! Vor einigen Jahren DER Geheimtipp in berlin, mittlerweile leider echt nicht mehr lecker! Ich werd die nächsten Monate sicher nicht mehr vorbeischauen! Schade!

Other than the Pad Thai Noodles, everything else tastes pretty average. Soup and curry was too salty for my tastebud. Price is reasonable but they only accept cash.

Bei jedem Berlinbesuch ist das "Mae Charoen" ein Muss. Leckere authentische Streetfood Küche und das einfache Ambiente macht das feeling perfekt. Als thai/deutsches Paar sind wir immer begeistert. Das Pad Thai ist ein Gedicht 😋

Beh vabbe non ho molto da dire. Le tipe non sanno manco parlare tedesco, ma le scusiamo perché il cibo è ottimo💗. Per settimane ho mangiato solo Pad Thai, ma un giorno mi son stufata e ho sbloccato il Fried Rice. Delishhh!! I prezzi sono un po’ aumentati ma ripeto il cibo è rimasto ottimo. Hanno solo qualche tavolino fuori per sedersi il che è perfetto d’estate.

If I lived closer I would be half human half Mae Charoen Imbiss

Gemüse immer frisch und knackig, essen immer sehr lecker. Die Frauen haben den Laden gut im Griff und führen ein straffes Regiment. Immer einen Besuch wert!!!

Good food for the price. I like the sweet taste. Service is very direct, don't expect a lot of words. To some it might feel unfriendly, but that's just how you read it. It's a very small place like everyone else already said, so don't expect to sit alone.

Super lecker und nette Inhaber.

Most authentic Thai flavours. This affordable tiny restaurant is serving Sonnenallee big time with massive Thai dishes. Fantastic Pad Thai and delicious Tom Kha soup. This is the Berlin we love.

I really loved the vibe - fast, cheap, noisy, chaotic - just the way I loved it in Thailand. The pad Thai I had, however, tasted like noodles with ketchup, hence 3 stars. My friends told me other dishes are good though, haven’t tried myself. Worth trying to get your own opinion on it :)

Small Imbiss that gets busy, but service is really fast. The red curry is tasty, the pad Thai could be more flavorful. Prices are good. Good for a quick dinner.

Excellent food, noodles to go were a very generous portion too. Will definitely return.

Seit vielen Jahren unser bevorzugter Imbiss wenn es um Thailändische Küche geht. Sehr authentische ältere Damen mit ihrem besonderen Charme zaubern hier aus frischen Zutaten leckere Gerichte zu fairen Preisen. inzwischen aber immer sehr voll und die wenigen Sitzplätze schnell belegt.

With authentic looking Thai moms it looked promising. The Tom Yum soup had generous amount of shrimps and tasted delicious. The wantan were more like mimosa and not good at all. The Pad Thai was boring. The Green Curry was ok, but nothing special. Al in all it was decent for the low prices. But nothing more.

Große Portionen und preislich völlig im Rahmen. Das grüne Thai Curry enthält hier wirklich Thai Basilikum, ist aber viel zu süß.

Ich muss sagen, ich hatte mehr erwartet. Zuallerst die positiven Dinge. Es kochen echte Thais und die Preise sind wirklich gut. Allerdings ist das Essen nur so lala und nicht wirklich authentisch. Wir hatten Massaman Curry was ganz ok war, aber nichts besonderes. Es war ziemlich viel Paprika drin, der dort allerdings nichts zu suchen hat. Das Pad Thai war auch noch ok, aber keine Offenbarung. Die Tom Kha Gai wiederum war wirklich gut. Die Bedienung ist ziemlich abgenervt und extrem unverschämt. Man kann sie beim Lästern über ihre Kundschaft beobachten. Alles in allem ziemlich enttäuschend, vorallem in Bezug auf die Qualität des Essens. Wer hier schreibt "authentic thai place" hat definitiv keine Ahnung. 😅 Zurückkommen ausgeschlossen.

Home-like Thai food. Very good prices. If you want a filling lunch and don’t expect anything fancy, you’re in the right place. Vegan options available. Note: just a couple of tables inside and a few more outside. Just eat and leave (or order takeaway)😁

Sehr authentische Thaiküche, sogar mit Sommerollen. Wenn Sonnenallee, dann dort!

Please don’t ever close. You’re amazing and I love everything about your shop and your food.

Gutes thailändisches Lokal für leckeres und günstiges Essen mit großen Portionen. Ich habe das Tom Kha und das Pad Thai bestellt, und zusammen waren sie zu groß, um sie aufzuessen. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die Sitzplätze sehr begrenzt sind.
