Monsieur Vuong
Berlin’s ‘godfather’ of upbeat Indochina nosh-stops, Monsieur has been copied many times – the concept is just that good. Pick from a compact menu of flavour-packed soups and two or three oft-changing mains, then sit back and enjoy your leftover money. Amazingly, the quality hasn’t come down despite the never-ending queue. Come in the afternoon to avoid the frenzy.

Sasaya
Whatever you order at this minimalist space has perfect pitch – sushi to salads, tempura to fish. Tables fill quickly with Japanese expats and plugged-in locals, so it’s best to make reservations several days ahead.

Korea Haus
If you’re a Korean food virgin, this tiny hut in an unlikely Wedding location is a fine place to lose your innocence. The native owner-chef takes on the roles of greeter, seater, server, sommelier and cook in what amounts to a Peter Sellers–worthy performance. The menu is extensive, but we highly recommend the bulgogi: slices or chunks of beef or pork, cooked on a gas barbecue at your table and served with a handful of panchan (side dishes). Delicious and authentic.

Shiro I Shiro
This groovy ‘white castle’ with its playful fairytale décor is a bit too chichi for most Berliners, but despite the heavy tourist quotient the nouveau Japanese food is surprisingly good. Keep it simple with à la carte sushi or test the chefs’ talent by ordering tuna tataki (with foie gras and herbed risotto) or kohitsuji (lamb and feta in miso-peanut sauce). Desserts are art on a platter. Don’t skip.

Buddha Haus
A haze of good smells greets you the moment you step into this cheerful eatery, with its natural brick walls, lampion-style lights and soothing music. The menu is a spectrum of flavours packaged into healthfully prepared stews, soups, sautés, momos (stuffed breads), curries and other appetising dishes. Vegetarians will be happy here as well.
In summer, tables spill out into the courtyard.

Uma
Japanese for horse, Uma raises the bar for luxury with its exquisite decor, eye-catching artwork and Euro-inflected Asian dishes that weave flavours together like fine tapestries. Aside from sushi and sashimi, there are meaty mains from the robata (charcoal) grill and such tasty morsels as Korean fried octopus and wasabi-infused soft-shell crab meant for sharing.

Jimmy Woo
Chinese movie posters, chill electro beats and candlelit tables set the mood in this artsy ‘Kreuzkölln’ crib for ghetto-hip locals and in-the-know outsiders. The menu hopscotches around Asia with touchdowns in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. To soak up the scene, come for the Thursday dinner parties when two courses cost €8, three €10.

Maoa
The name stands for Modern Art of Asia but you won't find this high-concept spin on the Mongolian grill anywhere east of the Ural Mountains. Put together your meal from a big buffet of vegetables, spices, noodles and meats (including kangaroo and crocodile), then have it all cooked up with your choice of sauce, such as fennel garlic or blackberry sake.

Stromburg
This retro restaurant is relaxed and chilled, with pink, purple and beige overtones, plus tasty international cuisine. Try the king prawns on Asian greens with mushrooms, mint, coriander and lime sauce, or see if they're still offering the Sunday evening 'surprise' menu, where you can pay only what you think their invention was worth.

Kuchi
Sushi purists might shudder at Kuchi’s ‘extreme’ creations, but scenesters gobble ’em up like M&Ms. Fried eel, tempura or crispy chicken skin add a quirky twist to maki rolls, while yakitori, stir-fries, donburi (rice bowl) and noodle soups take you back to more familiar culinary territory.

Graugans
Dinner here is going to make a serious dent in your wallet, but fans of 'wok-meets-Western' cuisine will probably like what's on the plates at this elegant restaurant inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Romantic views of the Dom and the Altstadt skyline and superb wine list.

Chilli Club
This trendy noodle bar is tucked away in the industrial-looking HafenCity. Asian tapas, dim sum and sushi are served within the restaurant's red-and-black interior and sailcloth-shaded waterside terrace.

Mr Phung Kabuki
Boats bob by on the water-based sushi train, but you can order all manner of pan-Asian and wok dishes at this airy, trendy restaurant with an enormous range of spirits.

Qilin
Magdeburg’s culinary scene won’t blow you out of the Elbe but this small, sleek pan-Asian eatery is excellent – it serves soups, sushi variations, fried seafoods, salads, noodles and superb stir-fries (all without monosodium glutamate), complemented by a strong wine and cocktail list.

Pan Asia
Manga films, light projections and long communal tables account for the hipster quotient at this high-energy restaurant next to the Hackesche Höfe. The menu predictably hopscotches from Thailand to China, via Japan and Vietnam, and back. Fresh ingredients and healthy, low-fat cooking techniques make it a favourite with waist-watchers.
