The 38 Best Berlin Restaurants | Eater

"Don’t be fooled by Larb Koi’s humble description of its offerings as home-cooked fare; at this gem, tucked in a touristy stretch of Friedrichshain, chef Monay Sakarin dishes up some of Berlin’s finest Thai food. With the exception of a superbly tangy papaya salad, the small menu skips standard dishes that you can get elsewhere and leans into specialties from various regions, like a Southern curry with a full, deep-fried sea bass or a phenomenal (if elusive) octopus curry. Despite Berlin’s heat-averse food scene, Larb Koi isn’t scared to play with some serious spice." - Tim Forster
