Ryu in Berlin

We had a really nice and delicious evening at Ryu. Service was super nice and attentive and the food was also delicious. We had shaking beef, udon chicken and various starters, which all tasted very good :) We can particularly recommend the Lychee Booze (drink) - sooooo delicious! Thank you, we'll be back ❤️

Very good and authentic food and wonderful service, the attendant was super friendly and attentive.

Had crispy prawns for starters, beef and duck udon, mochi and tea, everything was amazing.

Delicious food and lovely service. Just keep in mind you can only pay cash.

One of my favorite restaurant in Berlin. Dined here five times during my one-year stay in Berlin. Really wanted to ask for the sauce recipe before I left Berlin but I assumed it was impossible :) Anyway, it's a really good restaurant. You will like the flavor no matter where you come from. And the neighborhood is also a cool place to have fun. Still miss the sauce taste after two years.

A beautiful restaurant, with fantastic food & drinks and super nice service. We will definitely come back when we are in Berlin again.

Excellent food & service, fully reccomended!

The ambience and service were good, unfortunately the food was a bit tasteless.

Very tasty bento box. Fast. Friendly.

I love this restaurant, I've been going there for years. Mandatory stop during my trips to Berlin.

The food was great at an affordable price

Very tasty and great value for money!

Not vegan friendly and misleading: the menu reads each dish is vegan adaptable, however, after asking, no dish is actually vegan in the end - they just replace meat for tofu. Left hungry and disappointed.

Everything perfect. Keep it up dear ones. We'll be back!!!! ;D

We ended up here by chance and had a wonderful time. The food was extremely tasty and the portions were generous, we really enjoyed the meal. The cocktails and lemonades are also recommended. The only drawback: a glass of tap water with a normal order including alcoholic drinks should be included and should not be refused. Otherwise really great love and fast service. Great recommendation!

Not recommended on a Sunday. Soups and matcha crepe cake were out. Food was somehow way too sweet.

Food ok, but sooo much better places around in 1 min distance (nyom, 1990, mamam etc.). No additional tab water, as they "can't guarantee it's safe". The mushroom dish with "various mushrooms" had only champignons and the mango sauce tastes like it comes from a 10l bucket.. In general, I can't recommend this place.

You really can't go wrong here. The food tastes really good and the service does a great job, and of course the atmosphere in this area is very relaxed. The price is also reasonable for the food. However, what I didn't like at all and that's why it only gets 2/5 stars is that you can ONLY pay in cash here and they don't serve tap water either. You have to pay €2.90 for a small bottle of water... even the waitress felt embarrassed.

Mega tasty, very nice, friendly service, we can highly recommend it. Homemade lemonades, delicious. Cash only

Really super delicious food! Nice service, nice location. The prices are a bit more expensive, but for what you get it's worth it! Portions could be a bit bigger 😋

… fantastic food and incredibly friendly staff at Boxi

very very nice staff, super delicious food :) The only drawback: cash only and somewhat narrow tables outside

It's just annoying in Berlin. Cash only! They don't even care that all the surrounding restaurants are packed and there isn't a guest to be found at RYU.

below average food. Rice was dry and of bad quality. Overpriced due to location and „instagrammable“ appearance. If you are looking for great food dont come here. If you want to take picture of fancy looking food then it could be worth it.

Delicious, big portions, best price-quality ratio!

Absolutely excellent, honestly the best in the area!

- good value lunch packages - tasty balanced meals - they have both outdoor and indoor area - friendly team

One of my favorite restaurants in Berlin Great food. Friendly service and an unbeatable price-performance ratio. Interesting dishes in a stylish and creative atmosphere. I've brought guests with me several times now and everyone was thrilled. A positive highlight in Friedrichshain, which is overloaded with restaurants. Here you will find real individuality and nothing that you know from all other restaurants

Amazing spot for authentic, delicious food! The atmosphere is really nice both indoors and outdoors. The service is great and very attentive. The food tasted so good, was presented very nicely and was prepared very quickly. There are many interesting options to choose from. Given the taste and quality, it is priced reasonably. They put effort into the interior design as well, including in the bathroom. Be aware, it’s cash only. Will definitely be back :)

Super tasty food and drink, big enough portions and nice service. The vegetables were on point and all dishes can also be ordered vegetarian, which we were happy to do 😀 Only cash was accepted

Good food but small portions. We had to order extra appetisers after we finished our mains. It was eventually pricey and we would not go back.

The food is tasty, but the portions are rather small. The service is very friendly. Unfortunately no card payments. Cash only. In 2024 this is not allowed.

Long searched for in Berlin, but really very good here. Can only be recommended

We had angry chicken, beef a la Rye and a papaya salad with some beer. It was really nice, I'm gonna be back for Bento lunch another day

Very mediocre food. The meat texture is not curetted to the dish. In other words, it’s a cheap meat.

Our starters were quite nice ("Crispy Rolls" and "Chicken In The Roll"), but the main dishes were lacking. I had "Udon Chicken" which was a little carelessly slumped together with some indiscriminate sauce, the zucchini though had a nice bite. Service was super-friendly, didn't know where the restaurant buys its fish, though (I find that important). The panna cotta was alright.

Small but simple and very well kept place. Very friendly staff, superb food with vegan and gluten free options. Special mention for the udon with coconut and curry sauce. Advise!

Mega delicious food! Price performance bomb

Great food and great atmosphere. The service was perfect and the food was even better.

We really enjoyed our dinner, especially the service was very friendly. We weren’t blown away but definitely solid (liked the chicken, but not the beef), with fresh food and nice options.

the crispy duck with the red-curry is a must-have! This is perfect place when you crave for that savory and spicy Asian food

Very tasty & super nice service. Unfortunately the seating options are only wooden boxes and anything but comfortable...

A very cozy restaurant with nice staff. The food was delicious and the portions were very large and nicely prepared. 10/10 recommended!

Excellent in every way, superb discovery. Very welcoming staff.

Very cozy interior, very good and tasty food and drinks, young and very nice staff, young clientele

i loved their appetizers. the main course was not my taste, but still delicious. recommend their shrimptastic!

Tried various dishes... all really great and also great names for them. It's a bit of a shame: only cash payment and all seats without backrests... but somehow you're happy to accept that. We'll definitely come back.

The food was delicious. The service was very courteous and nice. The seating was very tight and the noise in the restaurant was very loud. But I would still like to come back

Food recommended, relaxed location and nice service. Ideal for dates... Best regards until next time :)

I've been there many times and I think they have the best peanut sauce. Friendly service staff with whom you can chat a bit. You can only pay in cash, but it says "cash only" on the door. Recommended: Chicken on the roll, golden sticks.

Who else has margins of intestines from the angry chicken? Loop ehe f p oh never again since yesterday evening

Nice ambience, humorous service, very tasty food and super clean toilets. A visit is absolutely recommended.

I've actually enjoyed going to Ryu so far because the food has always tasted good. Unfortunately, our recent visit to Ryu was a disappointing experience, so this will be my last visit. The staff was rude and unprofessional. We were informed that we could not pay by card. Since the ATM nearby was broken, we had to walk five minutes to the nearest ATM to withdraw cash. The fact that card payment is not possible is one point of criticism. We found the waitress's following request and assumption much more problematic: she wanted one of us to stay in the restaurant (as a "pledge", so to speak), since she couldn't know whether we would come back to pay. We told the waitress that we had no intention of leaving without paying and that we also found it unfair to even accuse us of such a thing. The waitress responded to our complaint in a personal and unfriendly manner, which made the situation even more unpleasant. When we asked about card payment, we were told without explanation that the restaurant did not want to introduce this payment method. This answer was incomprehensible and not very customer-oriented. Overall, we felt very uncomfortable during this situation and regret that we had to leave the restaurant with a bad feeling. And all because no card payments are accepted. We would have liked the waitress to have reacted a little more friendly, so it certainly wouldn't have been a big problem for us to withdraw cash...

Tasty but chicken was not my favorite!

Always first class service, indescribably delicious, marinated and tender chicken. You taste it and you can see that it is not molded meat, but real chicken from the piece. Super delicious homemade lemonades! All highly recommended. Ps. ONLY CASH

It was my first time to visit this restaurant. My friend brought me there. Then we ordered “Shaking Beef”. Actually it was quite good. The beef was saucy and sweet. They also use fresh veggies. But minus point is the beef was still little bit too tough. I hope they cook the beef longer. They also mention this menu with ‘coleslaw salad’ and I expected the salad was served with usual coleslaw dressing. But they served the veggies just like that without dressing. Well maybe because the beef had enough sauce to mix with the veggies. Next time I come with my friend, then I’ll order other menu maybe waffle or udon 🙂

I ate the Undon Noodle Beef here, which was very tasty. Unfortunately there is a little too little on the plate for the price, for which a star is deducted. Service was okay.

Ordered 3 meals, all great. We were very satisfied.

The beef a la Ryu is delicious! Good tea too. Service was great and the place is very nice.

Netter Service, leckeres Essen, gemütliches Ambiente

Amazing. No negative Berlin vibe, superb service! And the pho was something else ❤️

Loved the food! Service was also great

Another Berlin restaurant evading tax by only accepting cash, no card payments. They refuse to give customers tap water and overpriced/average tasting main courses. Nice looking place though.

Ein super sympathisches Restaurant mit authentischer Küche und sehr leckeren Dinks. Tolle Gin Auswahl und sehr gute Beratung. Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend.

Klein und gemütliches Restaurant, Bedienung war sehr schnell und Personal super nett. Preis ok für die Lage und essen ok.

Cute little nice restaurant. Food tasted amazing, reasonably priced and portion size is adequate. The service is good and friendly as well, the only reason I took out one star is they only accept cash.

Delicious fresh food, super nice and helpful service, cosy atmosphere - a really delightful dinner! My daughter and I had stumbled upon it during my previous visit to Berlin and enjoyed it so much that we looked through our pictures to find it again this time - and it definitely did not disappoint!

Keine Kartenzahlung möglich. Das Essen ist ganz gut, die Bedienung freundlich.

Enjoyed the food and the ambience, helpful crew seated us even though we didn’t have a reservation. 5 ⭐️ for service

Es muy lindo el ambiente, tiene una iluminación gradual, el espacio es amplio. Pedimos rise bowl chicken beef (13.9)y un udon beef (14) los que eran unas porciones generosas de comida, ademas pedimos te que estaban deliciosas y calientes. Lo único triste es que se paga con efectivo.

Das Restaurant ist klein aber fein und das Essen ist spitze. Sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal, immer wieder gern.

What a lovely place with a cozy yet hipster ambiance. They serve revisited Asian dishes with creative twists. Friendly and efficient waitstaff. Great drink options. We were very happy with our food (dumplings, fresh spring rolls and noodle dishes). If you wish to ease your international, non-Asian friends into Asian food or if you want to embark on a creative culinary adventure, this is the right place for that!

Sehr schöne Atmosphäre, super leckeres Essen und tolle Bedienung. Gerne wieder :)

Very good food, small dishes though

Wow! Und nochmal WOW! Super leckeres Essen (Udon Chicken und Angry Chicken) in netter Atmosphäre! Die Drinks (z. B. Refresher und Smoothies) sind auch köstlich. Sehr freundliches Personal!

Ein sehr leckeres Restaurant mit einer großen Auswahl. Ich hatte die Chicken Udon Nudeln und war überaus glücklich! Das Restaurant akzeptiert jedoch nur Bargeld. In der Nähe sind einige ATMs.

Entrecote is fatty and drinks have too much ice in them.

Delicious Asian cuisine with a wide variety of amazing dishes. The prices are reasonable. During busy times, finding a place to sit can be a bit challenging.

Wooow ich bin so glücklich euch gefunden zu haben 🌹mega lecker besonders selbstegmachte frische kimchi da misst3n wir noch nach bestellen 😅mega l3cker alles der Beef wooow ❤️vielen dank

Locale piccolo ma molto accogliente. Gli udon sono ottimi e porzioni abbondanti, peccato però che non ci siano molte varianti nel menù. Il servizio rispetto all'ultima volta è stato più attento, torneremo a provare altri piatti. Il Pagamento è ancora solo in contanti.

Cool asian fusion place at Boxhagenerplatz. We had supreme chicken and angry chicken rice bowl and they were lip-smacking delicious! The Summer drinks were really good too!

Leider ging was bei der Uber Eats Bestellung schief. War trotzdem freundlich am Telefon. Dafür 5 Sterne

Mega gute asiatische Küche. Die Bang Bang Waffle und das Shaking Beef sind richtig gut!

very good restaurant. Less people during the day… More at night:)

Amazing food!!! It’s feel and tastes amazing, yummy and so healthy! Loved every bit!!!

Amazing restaurant with tasty food, but accepts only cash

Rundum zufrieden. Auch unsere Wünsche würden problemlos umgesetzt. TOP

The place was okay. The food was Interesting, that spinach waffle was really good and the Ohne Dun, I personally didn’t like the noodles. But the service was very disappointing because we order drinks and one the drinks “Moscow Mule” was very rich flavor so we wanted a new one, the server didn’t offer anything. Also he was checking on us like every 5 minutes after I told him I didn’t enjoy my drink and literally the place was empty he came to our table wanted to take our plates and we had half of our food for that reason I’m giving one star in service.

Ich fand das Essen war okay, aber nicht besonders. Die Bedienung war nett, das Ambiente auch angenehm. Kann man machen, aber in der Gegend gibt es andere gute Restaurants.

Asiatisk fusion køkken hvor de fusionerer asiatisk med MAGI!!! Højst anbefalelsesværdige forretter og rigtig sød betjening. Det skal prøves. You'll see!

Sehr lecker und fast alles auch als vegetarische Version mit Tofu. Leider nur Barzahlung.

Reviewed as asian who living in Germany. This is really asian fusion restaurant it’s not authentic but the food were sooooo gewd. All meat are juicy and tender. My fav ist beef a la ryu. The sauce on top of the meat taste very uniq.. so.. overall its amazing. You can pay only with cash but there are a lot of automat in that area

Super leckeres, hochwertiges Essen, und freundliches, aufmerksames Personal.

Great food Great atmosphere Great service We had a Ryu beef and udon chicken The food was great. We also took a refreshing lychee lemonade and a tiger beer. For some reason they take cash only...

Wir hatten Glück dass, obwohl gut besucht es nicht zu voll war. Bei schönem Wetter sitzen ja die meisten draußen. Schönes Ambiente, schneller und aufmerksamer Service. Großartiges Essen. Es hat alles hervorragend geschmeckt und wir kommen gerne wieder! Die Preise empfanden wir als angemessen und sogar eine Fress Maschine wie meine Wenigkeit empfand die Portionen als angemessen. 😊

Amazing food for a normal price in Berlin!

War lecker dort. Die udon Nudeln haben gut geschmeckt. Die Preise sind in Ordnung. Aber es gibt Schon einige Schwächen. 3-4 Sterne. Pro: Die Getränke waren richtig lecker (aber auch etwas teurer) Die Vorspeise (crispy dumplings) war sehr lecker gewürzt und die Soja-Chili Sauce dazu war himmlisch Es gibt einige Tofu Varianten Die koskosnuss-Erdnuss-Sauce war auch sehr gelungen. Contra: Es ist unheimlich eng dort. Der Nachbartisch ist so dicht, man könnte meinen, dass man zusammen isst. Private Gespräche sind da schwierig :/ Die röstzwiebeln ungefragt überall rüber zu streuen ist schwierig, wenn man keine isst! Der Salat der mit auf dem Teller liegt ist absolut lieblos: schmeckt nach gar nichts, auch kein Dressing dazu. Das geht viel besser. Ebenso der Tofu: zwar gebacken aber innen so weich, das war kurz vor eklig. Leider so ziemlich der schlechteste Tofu den ich bisher hatte. Auch hier geht es besser!

Leckeres Essen und ein schönes Ambiente

Great food and atmosphere for a good price

Also es gibt weit und breit keinen Asiaten der deine Bestellung individuell für den Kunden anpasst ausser hier. Ich kann meine Suppe so anpassen wie sie Mir schmeckt und nicht wie die Karte sie haben will. Daher ein grosse Plus Punkt von mir. Immer freundlich immer nett. Sauberkeit ist: wenn sie das Klo besuchen und es ist wie zuhause....
