NORDSEE in Berlin

I didn't know this German fast food restaurant chain and well it's very good when you don't eat meat and you want something to tide you over.... it was very good!

For what it is, a fast food fish restaurant, it's good value and quick. Very decent food, and something a bit different from your normal maccies burger and chips.

Became far too expensive... portions too small. Price very high

Their fish is generally delicious, but I especially recommend you try the salmon on a bed of spinach. Prices are moderate.

We actually only bought two Cokes here today, from the street. It said 1.99 euros per bottle (0.5 liters). A deposit of 25 cents will probably be added. For me it comes to 4.48 euros in total, which is quite a lot. However, I didn't calculate it beforehand. I then paid with an EC card and just now I saw that I had a whopping 7.08 euros!! were debited. The attendant at North Sea probably said a price too, but there was loud ambient noise and I didn't hear anything. At Nordsee, which is actually a well-known company, you should assume that everything is running correctly and so I didn't worry about it. Disgraceful, I have to say. Of course I wasn't paying attention and didn't take a receipt with me. As already mentioned, you should assume that everything is going correctly. I wonder how you get to 7.08 euros! That would be a whopping 3.29 euros plus 0.25 cents deposit for 0.5 liters of cola. I can get really upset about it. If it had been there, I wouldn't have bought anything there. However, as already mentioned, it said "1.99" where I was already hesitating. I can't say anything about other things because we didn't eat there and certainly never will! Best regards...

Unfortunately, the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. We won't be eating there again for the time being.

Very rude, no open cash register

Very helpful staff. Delicious food. Good spacious.

The old one was very unfriendly

Terrible service and very poor treatment of customers, they should hire friendlier staff. Especially the woman with red hair, treated us and other clients who do not speak German very badly.

I used to eat at Nordsee often because you could eat fish quickly and cheaply. The prices have almost doubled. E.g. 7.99 -> 15.99 The quality hasn't improved one bit; if then rather diminished.

6.79 for three small pieces of fish that you wait half an hour for and then have to fight for from the staff?? Got the wrong burger but couldn't say anything because our receipt was taken away.

Rude staff, behaving like feral creatures. I didn’t get to the stage of ordering because the staff were so unprofessional. Warning: you must not video call your partner in their restaurant, you’ll be shouted at, with several staff members running to you as though a ‘code red’ was just declared…. ….And there’s a reason for that…..they don’t want people seeing the grim food.

Good selection for seafood lovers. Fast service. Cost per person is about € 20

Mala experiencia aquí y sin duda no volvería a visitar. Grupo de 3 pedidos utilizando las máquinas de autoservicio que estaban al menos todos trabajando en nuestra visita y dio la opción de pedir en diferentes idiomas. Uno de nosotros tenía cuñas que eran tibias, otro tenía pescado y patatas nuevas (patatas frías a la piedra) y duran una hamburguesa de pescado con patatas fritas (hamburguesa fría a la piedra). Fue visitante de la ciudad y el país, así que tal vez esa es la norma allí, pero esto no estaba claro en el menú. Definitivamente no es lo que un británico esperaría por pescado con papas fritas. En el lado positivo, el servicio fue relativamente rápido

If you like fish, this is a good place for a snack

Had uncooked fish told ther server they said "I don't work in the kitchen so I don't know if it's undercooked. Brought another one out and it was even less cooked so walked out. Terrible food Terrible service absolutely avoid.

First, I really like Nordsee. HOWEVER, I got the Garnellen and Chips box today, and it contained all Chips and only FOUR off the usual small shrimp. , had already paid 11E at the kiosk. I left it setting on the counter and walked out after complaining with no results.

Me butties were cold as Ken - like they’d been sat in freezer. Cutlery were covered in old food from the last bloke that ate there. Apple juice had all fun removed from it. Don’t eat here ever it’s rubbish.

The potatoes were very good and the prawns were just fine. What we ordered is served cold and we thought it was served hot, nowhere did that information appear. Plus, the sandwich looks much bigger in the promotional images.

A North Sea restaurant - not particularly cozy and the quality of the food is mediocre

NORDSEE BERLIN SPANDAUER STRASSE - Mitte (district). Unfortunately the food today was not satisfactory. The fish and fried potatoes had a strong taste of burnt oil and were bitter. I felt very sick afterwards. I wanted to bring this to your attention as it may be due to the preparation or the oil used. Best regards."

A completely normal North Sea restaurant.

Excellent lunch break in the heart of Berlin

Been there again for a long time. The waitress couldn't operate the cash register and couldn't do two things at the same time. We were asked several times what we wanted. The second colleague walked through the guest room but didn't pay any attention to the ambience. She could have picked up bills lying on the floor or straightened the chairs. It was my last visit

I'm disgusted, disappointingly bad. I have a stomach ache now, not recommended. If you want to have an upset stomach, the store is perfect.

Food there looks way better than it tastes. Our fish burgers were cold and tasted like some kind of potato mashup crap. Avoid this place!

food gave my friend food poisoning, the fish was really low quality and the staff was really unproductive.

Wonderful. The salmon was very tasty. Thanks,

Yesterday 02/20/2025 afternoon. It was empty, the service was friendly. In no time I was dispatched and out again. I rarely, almost never, go to a fish restaurant. That's why I was astonished because it didn't smell like fish or other unpleasant things like you get from burger joints. I found this brief moment to be pleasant because it was quiet and clean. I celebrated my baguettes at home. Guys, as a non-fish eater, I can tell you: That was so delicious!

Order two foods and wait about it 15 mins. Crispy and the soup is nice

The quality of the potatoes is really bad ! Service too. Don’t recommend!

Very good establishment for a quick meal of simple fish preparations

Perfectly prepared cod. Incredible tiger prawns in batter. Prices are ok for Berlin. I recommend it

Great food, especially breaded shrimp, but terrible service

Food tasted good as always. Location very good.

Since when does the Mix Box Normal only contain 3 shrimp?!?! Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio doesn't fit here at all.

Terrible experience… Had a lunch break and decided to try Nordsee for the first time. It was terrible. I ordered a soup and waited 25 minutes for it! There were few guests and 5 people of kitchen staff, who were doing nothing! All the five worked on one order at a time. After 15 minutes of waiting, I came to the front desk and asked what the problem was and was told to wait 2 minutes. I was told that 2 times! I argued with the manager, but she told it always takes that long because they cook it fresh. Does that mean they cook it from scratch? Stupid… Soup was nice, but it’s not a Michelin star restaurant to take 25 minutes for a bowl of soup during a lunch break. Every worker was slow. 1/5

Sunday lunch. Among many closed places, at least here we were able to eat and rest a bit. Nice environment. Food okay. Price a little high.

Fries were tasty, fried potatoes and fish could have been fried for another 5-10 minutes and were very greasy. Unfortunately, even the staff doesn't know the price of coffee. This location still has a lot of room for improvement.

Very tasty, fish is freshly fried.

I really like the idea of fast food with fish that is not only deep fried and also can be served with rice and other vegetables. It was hard for me to order in English, but it was still possible. I wish similar things existed in Poland

Delicious fish and great side dishes. I liked the sauce with the fish best. The atmosphere is pleasant, the place is clean and the staff is very friendly.

Doors were open at 3 degrees and it was super cold. The Bismarck Baguette was completely carelessly topped and not even remotely worth the money. And the children's menu is underground. The fish nuggets are mushy fish sticks and the toy in the menu is a sheet of paper with 4 pens.

One of the best places to eat in Berlin city centre. It offers takeaway foods (sandwiches etc.), as well as fast food options, as well as some fine-dining-esque items. We ordered the fast food boxes, like the fish'n'chips box, which was amazing, freshly made, with a sauce in a waffle cup, which is a nice touch. Portion sizes are filling and for reasonable prices by the city's standards. The location is wonderful, close to various transport options. Wonderful view on various landmarks of Berlin and the trams from the restaurant.

Food is served cold and you wait far too long. You have to freeze when you eat, too cold even with a jacket. Because the door is open at minus degrees.

Disgusting. This place lets MacDonalds look like an organic farmers market.

Excellent place .. great food and very friendly staff. You can get a snack like I did .. fish and chips around 6 EUR or a larger fish meal. I'll definitely be returning.

I ordered eats there via Uber. Once the standard fish & chips and once the mix box. In the first half of it was gone, the dip looked like someone had already taken some of it. The second box was defective. Both boxes were cold and soft and inedible. Ahh and there was also hair in both boxes. Luckily I got a refund from uber eats. But something like that is generally unacceptable, shame on you all you disgusting old people🤮.

The quality of the food has dropt ovre the years. Very sad.

The staff is very rude. No customer focus. The food is very tasty. But the attitude of the staff left a very bad impression

Bad attention from the two ladies at the bar. They do not serve the menu they have advertised and they make you order what is on the counter at 2 pm.

Quick and tasty. Exactly what I was expecting.

Not the yellow of the egg. Very expensive; Staff moderately friendly, the daily offer was already sold out at 4:30 p.m., hope that's not the case every day.

Employee incredibly rude. And that multiple times. If you don't like your job, it's better to look for another one. Food was very sticky because it had been sitting there for a long time. We will definitely not go there again.

Not recommended!!!! 1. very unfriendly, listless staff that shouted at me!!!!!! 2.Salmon was fine, fried potatoes were dripping with fat, 3. although empty, a lot of hustle and bustle at the counter....... It's a shame about the location, typical East Berlin, like in GDR times 4. Keep it up!!!!!!!! Your Grandpa Bernd (GHW-FH)

Food is not good ,service is not friendly

Not recommended - bad food and way too expensive for this lousy quality! One star is almost too many!

Toilet was broken, so there was a long queue in front of the disabled toilet.

That won't work in this tourist hotspot with so few staff. Dirty tables, boring, loveless and tasteless food. The staff bitches in front of the customers due to the high workload. It's a shame, things were better at some point.

This North Sea branch is a disgrace. I've been there twice now and both times both the plaice and the grilled pollack were burnt on at least one side (black!), the drinks were no longer carbonated and tasted like washing up water and the staff had difficulty getting supplies, So sometimes extremely long waiting times occur because something is currently out of stock. This is the worst branch I've ever been to! Never again!

I think absolutely nothing of these order terminals. My dislike was then underlined by the fact that my order had apparently been lost and was then prepared incorrectly and I therefore waited almost 15 minutes for my potato and prawn box. I'm now used to the fact that there are only 3 prawns in the potato and prawn box, but I think if someone would take such orders directly at the counter and then prepare them straight away, there would be fewer things going wrong. I think I won't add this branch to my favorites.

Bright room with large windows facing the street intersection. Can take in the hustle and bustle of the street while eating. Prices not cheap, but OK for the location. Toilet clean.

Hallo Es ging nur ein Automat und nur kartenzahlung... Für so viel Leute war die Schlange zu gross...und die ungeduld. Die angestellten waren leicht genervt.

Absolute canteen feeling and a completely overwhelmed service that screams at the people in the long queue. After standing in line for a long time, we just had a drink and went somewhere else to eat. Underground, really. 😳

There used to be 5 fish fingers, then 3 fish fingers because they now had grain breading. Now there are only 5 small fish nuggets in the fish and chips box. According to the North Sea headquarters, there should be 15 shrimps in the shrimp box. But there are almost always only 12 and you always have to count them. Very bad price-performance ratio.

For the price, far too small a portion.

That was by far the worst visit to the North Sea I've ever had! The shrimp were extremely limp and fell apart. We waited in line for ages and the employee brought the wrong sauces. The food was also cold. The shop itself is pretty cute, but that's about it..

You can save really well with the app.

I made an order for the whole family, and everything was ready for a few minutes, but my soup, which I had to wait for another 20 minutes. And it was not even that busy. A lady from the personnel promised two times that "it is coming" to no avail. Otherwise, it is what you could expect from Nordsee everywhere else. The location is great, though.

Disgusting, ugly and rude service and the branch manager is too conservative and has no idea how to serve a customer. Don't give out what you ordered and complain about asking for what you paid for. The fish nuggets are cold. In addition, the shop is relatively dirty because the food leftovers from previous customers are not put away. The cola was good (luckily the incompetent staff can't do anything wrong). It's better to go to Alexa at North Sea, it's just around the corner and you'll get better service there.

I have eaten at other Nordsee restaurants, so I expected some good food. I was pretty disappointed with the food at this particular location. The fish was dried out. I think they cooked the fish and let it sit there too long before serving it. Same with the shrimp we had. They were pretty busy on this day. So the service was pretty slow, and they were not very friendly at all. The dining area was nice and clean and spacious. The restrooms were clean, too. I can see why this restaurant got some bad reviews on here.

For the price, the portions are absolutely ridiculous, and the quality isn't particularly impressive either. The highlight was certainly the employee with the short red hair, who loudly expressed her subterranean mood on almost all the customers in the store. Overall, an absolutely horrible experience

A little dirty environment. Low priced but not particularly good food.

Food was expensive and cold when served. The bread was also a day old and stale. The large woman with the red hair runs the counter like it’s a military camp screaming at customers and giving grease looks.

The fish had probably been swimming in fat for a long time. In any case, the clod was dripping and was heavy in the stomach. The tables in the outside areas are all wobbly. Pretty dirty inside. The drinks were rather warm and stale. Not acceptable given the prices.

Where do I begin, the awful food or the awful service. I ordered a fish roll and received a cold oven fish piece in stale bread with some mayo for 11 euros and about 10 chips. The fish looks like the lidl brand crumbed fish you get in the freezer. I was given a greasy look for taking a small packet of salt. Maybe you pay extra for some pieces of salt? I’m not sure. The fish bites were bites bad. 5 pieces for 7 euros? I’m surprised the oxygen is free in there. The red haired woman was shockingly aggressive and very rude as well. When I was done I ran out and thought she might chase me down the street like she did when I almost accidentally retrieved the wrong drink from the room temperature fridge You also have to pay to use the toilet.

We waited over half an hour for 1 fried fish and 1 Bremer roll. And these weren't even freshly prepared...

Nordsee used to be great but now it's really just minimum for the the same price

It's very tasty there Especially a sandwich with herring 😋

Good value for money and tasty fish, cooked in various ways. Clean and practical for getting around the area. Coupon for subsequent purchase. Very kind staff. Excellent soup. Sufficient portions.

In my opinion, the service person at the counter faced numerous customers alone, which of course cost her nerves, which is why she couldn't be blamed for not being able to respond to every customer with all the friendliness. The food was very distasteful as the fries were completely unsalted, and the pollack fillet was actually mostly fried panada with something in it that tasted kind of like fish but felt rather hot and slimy. Hunger alone drove it in. Some of the tables were unclean and not wiped. Many people seem to come in from outside just to use the toilet. I can understand it in retrospect. The order machines throw out two pieces of paper: the invoice and the order number. Unfortunately, a machine was messing around, so the pieces of paper came out one after the other with a longer delay. As a result, some customers only left with the bill, but were then asked for their order number when they picked up their meals, which they didn't have. Wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

I ordered the wrong thing and the bread was a bit stale

Berlin warmth dominates the ordering experience. The coffee from the machine is okay. But if you think that you can get particularly good fish sandwiches here, at the fish specialist, you will be sorely disappointed. In every fish shop or fish stand you can find better-filled, lovingly made fish sandwiches. I would be happy if improvements were made here.

It really wasn't busy, but they somehow couldn't manage to process all orders in a timely manner. Everything was very slow...

Spare yourself that. Bismarck rolls twice is a joke. The mood among the ladies behind the counter could be improved.

Good location, good seats, quality of food was bad

For service we would have given 0 stars but you can't… We placed the order on lieferando for home delivery. We ordered two different sandwiches and three large fish and chips (as per the receipt) and in reality 4 identical sandwiches arrived, not ordered, and 1 small fish and chips. The food was acceptable but we assume that, since the closing time was 7pm, they gave us what was left and therefore did not correspond to our order. Furthermore, we also lost some money since the order arrived had a lower cost than the one paid on the application! We do not recommend this restaurant, especially if you order takeaway and it is close to closing…

Close to Alexanderplatz and Museum Island, it is suitable for a quick fish-based lunch. It has seating inside and outside. Prices in line with those of similar restaurants in Berlin.

Terrible service, very good food

Food was fine as you can expect from Nordsee. One more order number display would be needed on the wall.

In the branch on Spandauer Straße there was unpleasant behavior from a young saleswoman today. An older woman asked about the prices of the dishes in the photos and was directed by the saleswoman to the ordering terminals, where she could read them. “See how old I am, and what if I can’t do this with the machines?” The young saleswoman's arrogant and didactic answer: "We live in the 21st century! You have to be able to do that!" "I forgo your food, goodbye." I agree with your waiver in the future.

Ordering food from the North Sea has become quite complicated. Some of the machines are broken. You can't order at the counter, the overwhelmed staff point to the machines. We then helped some guests with their order, otherwise they would have left... Sad

The fish soup with shrimp skewer tasted very good.

My opinion: The staff is quite unfriendly, the food is not enjoyable. Fries without salt and fried too short. Matjes tastes very strange. Fish fried too short and far too little. Very strange atmosphere

The worst place i went I hate it. it's to much money for a trash . They have to take it daun. Pleas tell the police to save us from this poison. Terabul servis and slow🤬🤬🤬

Typical Nordsee restaurant. Always tasty, but we had to wait a while until the fish was ready, even though it was not that busy.

Incredibly unfriendly staff. You don't feel comfortable at all.

Cumbersome ordering of the food...but the portions are rather small compared to before The taste was good 👍

Unfriendly staff, the display for the serving doesn't work, staff complains because the food isn't picked up. food not edible, Fries are matchy and some are bone hard (fried too often) and without salt, the mayo is tough and disgusting Only the fish nuggets were halfway edible.
