A big fan of Asian food, during our stay in Berlin my partner and I decided to follow tripadvisors excellent reviews and visit the restaurant Saigon, unfortunately this was closed due to Mayday bank holiday so we'd remembered during our visit to Potsdamer Platz that we'd seen a pleasant looking asian restaurant. I looked it up on tripadvisor and thought,... More

It's nothing more than an Asian fast food. Food was average, I would even say that the dim sum were quite tasteless. It's not a fancy place, nor is the food or the service. I would not return.

We went to Coa because we tried to go to the adiacent "Va piano" but it was full and crowded even if it was 3pm. The restaurant is in minimalist style, modern, clean. At that hour it was easy to find places to seat. We were 3people. We ate the appetizer mix for 2(14€) and all the 3main course (rice,... More

Cao, on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin is worth a visit. The food is wholesome and very tasty and you can sit for hours reading with nobody pushing you out the door. I was travelling on my own and the staff were very friendly and efficient. It was freezing cold outside and so I was ready for the hot food before... More

Ordered drinks arrived soon and many dishes had been made in advance or prepared in a good way, beacuse the food arrived not very much later. Almost modest prices, at... More

Coa is a Germany-wide chain serving pan-Asian food. The Berlin restaurant is at Potsdamer Platz which is an epicentre of modernity born of re-unification. The food is very good, the service quite good if given to linguistic mis-interpretations and the seating spectacularly uncomfortable. It struck me that there might be some quasi-fast food psychology at play here in a place... More

coa was convenient to my hotel (near Potsdamer Platz) and I was looking for a good Pad Thai. I regret to say that I should have looked further (for example - cha cha on Freidrichstrasse that I found much better). The service was mundane and the Pad Thai was more an uninspired glop than the delightful contrast in textures and... More
