Xigon in Berlin

Anyone who writes such nonsense on their board can stay away from me. I'm a carnivore, but mushrooms are great!

Unfortunately the quality of the food decreased. Also one of the delivery guys has an agressive vibe. He doesn't want to come up, rings the bell continuesly until you come down. Not the kind of vibe you want to get:(

4/5 great food. 4 stars only because they have doubled prices in the last 6 years. I'd love to come later

Small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Make a reservation (especially on weekends).Toilet available. Very delicious food with lots of vegan/ vegetarian options and also tasty drinks. Very friendly servers!

Went there to eat, we had 2 soups and 3 small scampi size 4 cm each, without a side dish for the scampi, which cost 11 euros!!! Drinks 2 beers and a small soft drink total cost 40 euros. !!!! Once and never again. It was cold in the restaurant because the front door was always open. If you want a cold and want small portions at unheard of prices, this is the place for you. I can't understand the good reviews, but you can buy everything on the internet.!!!

Very good food and quite large portions.

Small Asian restaurant, but not exactly cheap and with small portions. Quite nice and cozy in and of itself. But if you sit at the tables near the entrance in colder temperatures, you should dress warmly or risk a cold in the following days. The outside door does not have an automatic locking mechanism, so almost everyone who comes in unintentionally leaves the door open. The curtain in front of the door doesn't really help to block the cold.

Хуйня! Staff unfriendly! You can find better place for eating.

Very disappointing! After we enjoyed ordering here very often for a long time, as the food was always very good, we will avoid ordering from this restaurant again. What you can still ignore is that I had to wait a whole 2 hours for delivery on October 1st, 2024 (Tuesday). Without any mention or apology from the driver... Yesterday (October 12th, 2024) around 6 p.m. we placed another order (#8178). Of course, we know that there may be longer delivery times on Saturday evenings. But when there was no delivery after almost 3 hours, we tried again and again to reach someone there by phone. In vain. I also didn't receive a reply to my email. In the end there was no delivery at all the entire evening! The order must have been “sloppily messed up”? We'll probably never know...

Ordered via Uber eats, food was stale, dry as a rock.

The deluxe for two is good and fresh.

In my opinion, the portions are getting smaller and the prices have risen. I used to enjoy eating or ordering here because both the quality and the price/performance ratio were right. But that has now changed completely, which is a shame. I now prefer other alternatives

Very tasty offers, it was difficult to decide. Everyone loved their food. My clear recommendations.

Extremely good food and pleasant service! It was a small place, but very cozy with the option of sitting outside as well.

I've ordered there many times and, no lie, every time they bring me something wrong/not the complete delivery. It annoys the hell out of me. They don't want to deliver more because “the distance is too far”. Now it's just a disgrace

Xigon exceeded our expectations. We had the beef carpaccio, one of the fried rolls, golden sake noodles and the peanut curry and all were so delicious! Will be back next time I’m in Berlin.

I have always been a loyal customer of this restaurant, but unfortunately my last visit was very disappointing. Either there was a change of ownership or major changes in the kitchen. Men is definitely noticing strong cost savings in all corners. The food is no longer as good and the service is below average and unfortunately I won't be coming here again.

More appearance than reality! The entire kitchen staff was at the front, right next to the guests, sitting on the floor and smoking (Picture 1). Sort of like in Vietnam... only here we are in Germany where hygiene should still be important. As you can see in the picture, the kitchen helpers wear gloves when smoking, and then go back into the kitchen and prepare the sushi. No thanks. In addition, the card was completely dirty... also easy to see in picture 2. No thanks... if you don't want to get food poisoning, you should avoid the restaurant!

The world's worst restaurant for home delivery It's 23:440 and I've been waiting for more than an hour and a half for my order. I go down to pick up the delivery man in a very well known spot, my street is central, one of the most central streets in Berlin. You can't get lost with a map or compass and it's 2 kilometres from the restaurant. The worst service of my life

Not run-of-the-mill Asian food, small restaurant with good cuisine and a nice atmosphere.

Best cost benefit for this kind of cuisine

We had promised more from this restaurant. My wakame was still half frozen when served. The rest of the dishes were good. The ambience (we sat outside) had seen better days. The waitress couldn't even bring herself to smile slightly when serving (it seemed to me that everything was too much for her) and she couldn't handle criticism at all. All in all, unfortunately I can't really recommend the Xigon.

Really delicious food and has been renovated and attractively designed over the years! There is plenty of seating inside and outside - beautifully located on Petersburger Platz. The service is always on point and friendly. The starters are particularly delicious!

Our regular Asian restaurant! Very fresh, ultra tasty, large portions and courteous service.

Simply perfect. Very friendly and fast service. Copious dishes, carefully presented and impeccable quality/price ratio.

A truly exceptional dish (the deluxe set for one) with smoke. It was very impressive and very good! Excellent value for money.

Xigon was our favorite restaurant for a long time. Unfortunately, the quality, portion size and price have not been consistent for some time now. Especially with the curries! Portions are getting smaller and prices are getting higher. Unfortunately, it can no longer compete with restaurants in the same segment. Too bad.

Very rich. Tasty dishes. My girlfriend commented that it is the best sushi she has had in years. My dish was very tasty (red curry chicken). We went very early for lunch so there was no one else there, everything went pretty quickly. Prices according to Berlin.

I'm just shocked at such poor service. The waitress was very rude from the start, and her expression clearly said, "Why are you even here?" When I asked to leave out an ingredient in my dish, she became rude and clearly didn't pass the instruction on to the chef. I have a severe allergy to this ingredient and it could have cost me my life. Luckily, I immediately noticed that she ignored my request and didn't touch the food. I think this is very negligent treatment of customers. It's clear that this restaurant doesn't value its guests - the tables are dirty and sticky, the service is terrible, and the food isn't particularly good either. To top it all off, she tried to take my plate away before I finished eating and ended up expecting a tip too... She really didn't deserve that. Never set foot in this restaurant again!!!!

A nice, small restaurant with a terrace. The food was very tasty! We particularly enjoyed the Pho and reminded us of our trips to Vietnam. The price was cheap despite the fantastic taste. An absolute recommendation!

The best tofu I've ever eaten! The food is really fresh and tastes a 10/10! The outdoor area is also super comfortable to sit in. The service was also very friendly.

Order still not there after 1.5 hours, driver has of course been “on the way” for ages 🙄 I hate being lied to

Super tasty, both sushi 🍣 and the sweet potato fries as a starter.

We stumbled on Xigon by chance a few years ago and we then came back regularly every summer to enjoy the food, the wine and the outdoor seating, but obviously this place has changed, and not for good.

Great atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff. The Yellow Curry was really good, but the ingredients were swimming in coconut milk and it was a bit too sweet for a Curry. Still worth it.

Good food at fair prices. Nice atmosphere with friendly service. Fast delivery service! The udon are excellent.

Place is nice. Food was average although nice decorated. Only the hot plates were nice. Service is slow

Very beautiful atmosphere. Sushis were great, drinks were great. But the beef on egg? Something about the sauce, taste is very weird. Hopefully you guys make change. Otherwise great service. Waitress asked for improvements every now and then.

Friendly staff. Delicious food and drink. What else do you want. There is no better restaurant in this area.

The Sushi was good, fresh, the tuna with truffle sushi was amazing. Nice place is nice to sit outside. One of the waiters was so rude and inpatient, made us feel as if she is annoyed that we are there...which is why I gave 2 to the service. The other waiter was so nice.

Salmon tartare and sushi are great, soups unfortunately disappointing. Main courses average normal.

Since my review was removed as "fake" by google, I will write one from the account which I also used for ordering from them, maybe there will be less confussion then. I ordered from Xigon in February 2023 while being very sick, my food arrived after 1 hour and 40 minutes and completely cold. I had no means at that time to warm it up, so it compeletely ruined my evening. I contacted the restaurant through contact form I found on their website twice, but got no answer. I would have not posted a review if they answered. Not only did they not, but also they requested my review to be taken down.

Very tasty, nice staff, very nice atmosphere

Great food, chic ambience and nice service!

Sushi was Great! 🍣 With fresh ingredients and a lot of variety. Sushis with raw tuna and butterfish were great. Also try the sushis with mango. RECOMMEND it👌🏼

Seriously the best Asian restaurant in Berlin! Absolute insider tip! Great service, moderate prices and so delicious! Really only recommended :)

Delivery time 2 hours on a weekday. Long waiting time on the phone. Delicious food.

Really a nice discovery in the middle of Friedrichshain. Were here for lunch. Large tasty portions. The food is presented and served very attractively. Very nice and not intrusive service. The coffee is absolutely a MUST in this restaurant.

I've known the store for a very long time, unfortunately it has lost so much quality because the business mainly focuses on the delivery service, I was there again yesterday, unfortunately the price/performance ratio is no longer much too overpriced. So there are much better stores, it's not what it used to be. I'm not stingy but I paid €87 yesterday and I deeply regret it, it's really just a rip-off shop.

Good value for money and fast delivery.

Very nice place. The suhiis are super beautiful and good With a beautiful.presentation..you get what you pay for.I recommend

Like the atmostphere there! Food is good. The dish I like the most is in picture (dont remember the name).

What's wrong with you? We have been your regular customer for over 4 years. We often ate at your place and often ordered delivery. Everything was always delicious. Something has been going wrong for some time. I thought it might be due to the delivery order, heavy traffic etc, although it used to arrive tasty, but lately it has been arriving in very poor condition and taste. Today I decided to visit your site and check what the problem is. Unfortunately, these dishes and sushi were no longer what they once were. The duck was burnt, there was very little meat, the sushi rolls were small, they all fell apart and the taste was not good at all. I don't know what's wrong with your quality, but something is very bad.

Very beautiful presentation, nice clean place and friendly service.

Sushi apart and rice not so good. The hot plate (ordered with salmon) wasn't as hot as on other tables at the same time. It was ok but you don't necessarily have to do it again. Service stressed and overwhelmed

The food is very tasty and the price is right. However, the service was unfortunately not very good. We had to wait forever for every action (getting a card, ordering and then getting food). Unfortunately, the atmosphere isn't very nice either because the store is now primarily set up for delivery service, which means that delivery people are constantly picking up bags while we were ignored. But it tasted very good and I would give it another chance another day.

UPDATE: It has now become way too expensive and the negative reviews - as reported in other comments - have been deleted and leave a bad aftertaste!

A mixed experience. The sushi and cocktails were absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. However, the spicy beef dish was quite bland and disappointing. The atmosphere needs improvement; there were spider webs on lamps and a thick layer of dust on some lamp shades, which detracted from the overall experience. On a positive note, the staff were super attentive and fast.

Unfortunately, the tempura were extremely soggy. Both of us probably had a queasy stomach for an hour after eating. Very unfortunate. We expected much more from the reviews.

I just happened to stop by there because I had to kill some time for an appointment. Xigon looks very inviting from the outside, with outdoor seating, and the whole thing continues inside. The waitresses were all very polite and attentive. The food, even though I only ordered a little - I would have loved to order the whole menu, but I wasn't that hungry 😅 - was very tasty and fresh. I'd love to come back when I'm in the area again.

Nice location. The food was excellent. Service very good. We recommend

Almost the same prices as before! Again, absolutely recommended restaurant!

I expected better food. The sushi was ok but didn't taste particularly good. Average Asian restaurant

I just say: wow! We were totally starving and I came to the restaurant with no expectations but everything was delicious. The sushi was really good and we could have enjoyed the curries. I could definitely eat here every day!

Ordered some udon noodles with beef and it was delicious, was done quickly and the staff was really friendly, highly recommended!

Update 2024: The operator of this “restaurant” is now trying to have a lawyer delete negative reviews on the grounds that there is supposedly “no business relationship”. However, I can prove that this is not true. Other users report the same thing. Incredible business practices, I'm really at a loss for words. Unfortunately, this store is absolutely not recommended, especially when it comes to delivered food. We waited over 90 minutes for 2 dishes and in the end the wrong food came. The note “Only vegetables, no tofu” was turned into “WITHOUT vegetables, WITHOUT tofu” - i.e. sauce with rice for €6.60. The restaurant cannot be reached by telephone as only the mailbox is always answered. The other dish was supposedly “chicken crispy”. In the end it was tons of limp breading soaked in fat. This has nothing to do with good food and the price is not justified at all. Every little Asian place around the corner is miles better in quality.

We were thrilled, top service and super delicious food! We'll definitely come back here! Thanks :)

Great ambience, excellent food and very friendly and attentive staff.

A beautiful restaurant with good music. The service is very friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent. The baked chicken is very very crispy. I feel very comfortable here and would love to come back. I highly recommend it. The prices are OK.

Incredibly good cuisine, very good and professional service

Update 04/24: I ate a red curry with tofu from the lunch menu. Things were better again and the prices seemed to be leveling out a bit again. Update 03/24: Xigon is trying to intimidate me with a lawyer's letter into deleting the review. Unfortunately, the quality has deteriorated significantly in the last few months. Today I had white fish in my chicken curry. The quality of the sushi has also dropped significantly. The prices have also skyrocketed and are by no means justified. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend the restaurant at all and we have decided to remove it from our regular restaurants. A pity

In my opinion, this restaurant is one of the best sushi restaurants. The food is very fresh and delicious

I can only say that I feel completely cheated as a regular guest. The prices went up about 100% within few days. They gave us a menu with erased old prices although on their official website nothing has changed. The restaurant slowly getting empty coz nobody come for noodles for 25, 29Eur and small beer Tiger for 6e in the heart of Lichtenberg. Ridiculously you can order food online by Liferando with old prices to. How come? On the top of everything they are out of lot position of sushi and serve weaker drinks than usually. Its an easy way to go bankrupt.

Danger! Xigon removed my negative Google review by hiring a third party to complain to Google on its behalf. Instead of admitting their mistakes and correcting them, Xigon decided to remove the post to improve their ratings. This is another disappointment after we were misled by Xigon on prices between online and phone orders. We won't go back. Attention: Xigon has removed my negative Google review by hiring a third party that complained to Google on their behalf. Rather than admitting their mistakes and correcting them, Xigon chose to remove the post to improve their reviews.

Great Food has known the shop since the first days over 15 years ago. I still don't like eating there even though I now know the entire menu by heart.

Very nice little restaurant. Food very tasty. Lovely again

UPD: I've received a very deep apology in Wolt app with 2EUR bonus, which is very nice of them so I updated my service rating from one star to three. Ordered takeaway. The courier (who was a restaurant worker, they deliver food themselves) was rude because didn’t see the name mentioned in my order so he couldn’t find the right door bell, called me, I called him back exactly two minutes later and he was shouting at me on the phone because he felt irritated. Very unfortunate experience for almost 100€ order. I believe they could have handled it better and learn how app works or call the restaurant to find out details without being rude to client and complaining that it’s not their problem to know their clients name. I always tip couriers when I order delivery and I understand it’s a hard job but it just makes me sad that people can’t act kindly especially when they’re clearly in the wrong. I wish all the best and hope that they can find peace but I’m not returning to the restaurant again even though it wasn’t my first order there.

Update: 03/2024 I have received an email informing that my review will be deleted if I do not send evidence that I have been eating at Xigon in August 2023. Under threat of going to court. Based on the other reviews, it seems that Xigon is reporting all negative reviews with the presumed purpose of increasing the average rating of their restaurant. Don't go to Xigon! But if you go, keep the receipts for years or your review will be deleted. If you don't like your customers' freedom of expression, maybe you shouldn't run a restaurant. The food used to be good. But the price increase is shameless. A Cola used to cost €3.50 and now costs €5, an increase of 42%. Even at the Television Tower Restaurant, drinking a Cola is cheaper. It costs €4'20. We'll never eat at Xigon again.

Update: The Xigon operator reported all (exclusively) negative reviews to Google and forced them to be deleted. Apparently you need proof that you were really with Xigon. I suggest that everyone concerned go to the restaurant, take a photo with the overpriced menu and repeat the review. The excessive prices and the increase is a fact and is documented. What exactly the lady wants to claim in her threatened lawsuit remains unclear. Nobody who complained about the increase in prices was lying 🤷🏻‍♂️ A huge disappointment. We have been coming here to eat for years. Suddenly the prices exploded. Where fried sushi cost 10.50, this now costs €18. Yes, everything is becoming more expensive, but not to this extent. The sushi hasn't been at a discount price yet. After looking at the manually modified map, we got up and left.

Just super tasty. The portions are also large enough, even for the sushi menus. And I say that as a man who likes to eat a little more. Absolute recommendation!

Unfortunately we had a bad experience here after my wife had a sushi she fell intoxicated with fever 40.2c and vomit. Since after checking reviews i saw that this place is reporting all 1 star reviews so they can be deleted, im attaching my bank statement as proof that i was there.

Interesting: the operator is currently trying to have all bad reviews removed by Google, which is why the rating has recently risen from 4.2 to 4.5 again. Clumsy - customers will still write their honest opinions. Original text: Aperol for 12.50€ and my curry now costs 17€ - people, this is really over now... it no longer has anything to do with inflation, it's just greed!

There's no complaining about the sushi and the hot dishes. The team here is a bit younger and there is a lot of staff in the kitchen. In my opinion, a bit too much, because some people don't really know what to do and keep others from working by talking loudly. Personal negative highlight, the sushi chef blows his nose into a large handkerchief while preparing it, keeps his gloves on and all of this directly over the sushi... We are not very sensitive, but that was rather less "tasty".

We came here quite late in the evening, so it was justifiably rushed. To start, I had a gin sake cocktail, which was amazing in taste. For food, I split a deluxe sushi platter for one with my friend and then a king prawn yakisoba for main. The food was delivered quickly, and the sushi set was innovatively delivered in the presentation. I would say it was plentiful with just sharing the 1 person variant The main dish I wasn't expecting the prawns to be like battered torpedo ones but flavours good. Overall, it's a decent sushi place !

Prices have been increased drastically!!! A 0.33 Tiger beer costs a ridiculous €6.00!! Small cola costs €5.00 The dish “beef strips with vegetables and rice” has been increased from €14.90 to €25.00! For a Pho Ga, which by the way only tastes mediocre, we now charge €18.00!

I would like to highlight the friendliness of the staff and the decoration of the dishes, but I think they abuse the prices. In a few years they have tripled prices, and that is nothing compared to inflation. The price list on the website is not up to date. A main course currently costs between €18 and €23 on average. Yesterday I ordered a portion of tempura and it was burnt. My companion's dish was fine. And the rooms are very cramped. The neighboring table is 20 cm away. Super crowded and loud. You had to trip over the chairs to get in and out. I won't go there anymore. It used to be my favorite restaurant because of the value for money, but that is no longer the case.

I thought it would be a simple asiatic restaurant for a simple Sunday evening… But Xigon was a great surprise to me…. the food is delicious and so well presented, the decor of the restaurant is elegant and the staff is nice… I would really recommend you to try it ! Well done to the team !!

Unfortunately I have to edit my review again. It is unbelievable and outrageous to what extent prices have increased in the last 2-3 years. The main soup "Pho Ga" once cost 5.50 EUR - now the starter soup as a starter costs more than 6 EUR. If the level or quality of the food had improved, I probably wouldn't have said anything. But prices have now reached a level that is well above the market average. Corona is not an argument as the prices have been gradually adjusted. The last price increase was the last straw for me. I am not willing to pay this and will no longer be a customer from now on. Update February 2024: I received an email from Google saying that there was never any business relationship between the restaurant and me and that it is probably a fake account and that the provider wants me to comment or my review will be deleted. I find it crazy how people are trying to improve their own ranking here (according to the email, this email was sent to many recipients).

I used to adore the sushi at this spot, but lately, there's been a significant decline in quality. The rolls are now half their original size, and the ingredients have noticeably deteriorated. To top it off, the prices have skyrocketed. It's disheartening to see such a decline in what was once my favorite sushi spot.

In general OK, but not the best experience for people who eat vegan. Sadly there is only one labeled vegan option. Most of the vegggie sushi could easily be made vegan by leaving out the fresh cheese, however the staff was not very helpful and unsure "if that is possible". After a little discussion they made it possible. Update February 2024: Like some others, I received a complaint in which I was portrayed as a fake account :D So that's already weak Xigon. I'll leave the rating at 2 stars.

!!! I received an email today that this review should be deleted because [quote email]: "The complainant argues that the assessment violates his personal rights." I have now attached the pictures from May 26th, 2023. !!! We really enjoy ordering and eating here, but the spring rolls were really bad. Burnt, dripping with grease, only lukewarm and definitely not freshly prepared. A pity :(

Delivery quality is GREAT! Food came packed perfectly and airtight sealed so the sauce doesn’t spill everywhere. I ordered the Aroma Tofu and it was great. Perfectly seasoned, sauce is thick and not watery. A lot of veggies that are all cooked nicely. It’s one of those dishes where once you open it the whole room will smell of spices. It comes with a rice side dish which is actually nice but one of the sides at the but it was cloggy. Would definitely recommend their delivery service. *FYI: On Wolt you will be bamboozled that it will show 1 to 1:30 hours until delivery, but it usually arrives within 30-35 mins.

Waited another hour for the food to arrive via Lieferando, which is still ok for a Sunday evening. We ordered 6 things, 1 was forgotten, 2 things were warm to cold. After calling, a replacement came after 20 minutes: the cold items were now missing ingredients and the missing dish was replaced with a dish that we hadn't ordered. The quality of the food is below average for Berlin. Everything is just standard, finished products and cooked to death. I won't order here again

Disaster... ordered and after 70 minutes I got a call saying the order was canceled because the store no longer had a dish..

Very tasty sushi, relatively short waiting times & friendly waitress! I can recommend it! Edit: what's going on with the prices? Sometimes twice as expensive now.

I ordered the curry with chicken, and got sick unfortunately 😰

One of the stuff guy is very loud and non friendly . Rubbish toilet plus non cleaning for the years . Sticky everything including tables in main room . Discusting . One of the worst eating place restaurant is a too big word for this place .

We use to go to this place because we love it but tonight was very bad. Very bad sushis, tuna straight from the can 😭😭😭 and waiter very rude and impolite. Very disappointing 😢I won't go there anymore. It used to be my favorite restaurant because of the value for money, but that is no longer the case, they tripled the price and food quality is not present.

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.

Unfortunately, Xigon is currently taking action against all negative reviews here and is asking Google to delete the negative reviews. They act as if all the complaints about the prices being way too high are created by fake accounts. Bitter if the ratings are supposed to be artificially improved.
