Larb Koi

Some amazing flavors here! The larb koi and the sour fish… oh my god. I didn’t care as much for the beef curry. There were some unsavory/woody pieces in it. But the first two were incredibly good. Cash only, but there is an atm outside. Definitely need a reservation. We were there on a Friday night in February and every table was reserved. Service was great until the end when we wanted to pay — it was hard to get anyone’s attention, but it wasn’t that big of a deal. Our server gave us great recommendations. It’s in a lovely neighborhood. Wish we lived in Berlin so that we could come here again and again!

If you’re in the mood for even more leather and “spice” while in Berlin, consider a pit stop at Larb Koi. The room leans knowingly retro-kitsch: red leather banquettes, low lighting and electric candles cast a warm glow. It lands with charm rather than pastiche. The kitchen, however, is the main focus. Flavors are layered, heat bold yet carefully calibrated. A tongue-in-cheek printed note on the menu reminds diners that the kitchen takes no responsibility for the heat (or its after-effects!). I personally found the spice level ideal. The beef curry comes with tender pieces folded through green tomatoes and greens, the sauce carrying both depth and brightness. The chicken larb heaped with fresh herbs and leaves, brings lift and crunch against the spice. I’d have ventured further across the menu, had stomach space allowed. Proof that a little leather and a lot of spice goes a long way.

Very delicious food ! Be warned it can be quite spicy. It would have been nice to get more info on the dishes we were served. Tuna tartare // Pork Ribs // Fried Fish were a great combination

I ordered the fried fish with Larb Koi sauce – it was very juicy and perfectly cooked, not dry at all. The spiciness was just right for me, as I usually prefer medium spice. The dish came with rice and fresh vegetables, which complemented it nicely. For dessert, I had mango sticky rice, which was a great way to finish the meal. I really recommend this place if you enjoy authentic Thai flavors and well-balanced dishes.

This was overall a nice place. Service was good and attentive. Servers smiling and tending to your needs. Food came relatively fast and was a decent portions. The pork neck was delicious, tender and juicy. The fried eggplants with eggs were a nice side dish. The eggs soak up the flavour and really balance out the eggplants. The beef chili curry was our least favourite, we thought the dish could be served hotter and with more spice. The mango sticky was a nice round up of our meal. Overall would recommend. The not so good: We sat next to the window which had a draft. The restaurant was full so we couldn’t move but it made it unpleasant to eat like it was very cold. We also thought the prices were a bit elevated but still enjoyed our time. Would come back but not the top of my favourite Thai places!

This is the best Thai food I have ever had. It was so good, I went back twice in the month I spent in Berlin recently. The octopus is very spicy and the duck is also exceptional. Very attentive staff and reasonably priced.

Pretty good food, spicy and on the expensive side. A HUGE problem is that they refused to serve us tap water, even after spending more than 100€ on food and drinks. They serve very spicy food where one needs water, but serve water ONLY with wine. That really killed our mood: we unsuccessfully tried getting some water 3 times with 2 different waiters, so it's actually their policy. They need to learn that they are in hospitality business and that's not a way to treat guests. Would love to come back once they change their policy - until then I'll recommend people to stay away from this place.

Delicious authentic Thai food and very friendly service! My friends and I came in on a Wednesday evening with no reservation and they were able to accommodate us despite being booked out. Free krupuk and vodka shots at the end were a nice touch :)
