EDIT: absolutely skip this place. It is absolutely not worth it.The buffalo wings and Dan Dan noodles were okay for a bar, but overall I would never come back.The crispy eggplant and salt-and-pepper tofu were honestly gross! Both were so heavily breaded and fried that all I could taste was oil. We each took a bite and basically stopped there… neither dish was edible to us. I told Juan (the waiter) right away.I made a point of saying we didn’t want the complaint to affect his tip. Juan told us the restaurant has a policy of not refunding food once it has been delivered. They eventually removed the tofu from the bill, but still charged us for the untouched eggplant. He also suggested it might be a difference between the German and American palate because “Americans love this food,” which was a pretty bizarre response. 🤢🤢🤢We still tipped him 20%, because the waiter wasn’t the main issue. The issue was the food and the restaurant’s response to two essentially untouched dishes.The space is also extremely dark with loud music and has a very late-night/drunk-food feel. If that’s what you want, maybe it works. For us, the heavy breading and oil completely destroyed the food.A couple of dishes were good, but the overall experience was bad enough that I wouldn’t return.If you’re a restaurant owner and you serve food like this, contemplate your life choices and thank whomever made your mattress cause that must be the only thing that helps you sleep at night…
