This place was pretty decent by Berlin food standards. Prices are reasonable (3.5 for small dishes, and 7 for large). Friend & I shared 6 small dishes, which was more than enough food.
Taste wise, I actually think it was quite good. Definitely better than many other Thai places that I have been. The chicken satay skewers in particular were really good.
Atmosphere is pretty cool
Ended up coming here twice during few day stay
Really really yummy Asian tapas! The small bowls cost 3€ and the big (BIG!) ones 7€.
Food is served fast and staff is friendly and speak English.
THe place itself is quite noisy, but the damp light and dark interior makes it really cozy.
Usually a lot of ppl, so making a reservation is not a bad idea.

On a recent trip to Germany (so recent I'm still feeling the jet lag), Transit was one of my favorite dining experiences in Berlin. The ambiance was welcoming but eclectic with the ceiling covered with hanging colorful bird cages, and the way the restaurant is set up, with one long row of tables against the wall, felt pretty authentic. We were also super pleased with the prices, with most tapas, apart from the 8 euro "specialty plates," were only 3 euro a piece. In the states, each plate would easily run 10 - 12 bucks, so it seemed like a bargain dining here. They place was really busy on a Saturday night, but the two of us were seated in 15 minutes, so it really wasn't bad. If you have a big party though, definitely make some ressies.
The menu (which came with english subtitles) was pretty diverse and had a little bit of everything for everyone on it. For the two of us, we ordered: crunchy veggie dumplings, coconut curry chicken, calamari, crunchy chicken spring rolls, rice bun dough wrapped chicken/veggies, what looked like duck tequitos, rice noodles with chicken and veggies, and a side of rice. Now these dishes were called sometime completely different that what I just named them off as FYI.
The crunchy veggie dumplings were served in a portion of 3 with some avocado dipping sauce which was essentially asian inspired guac, and they were friggen delicious. The shell was crunchy and the filling was flavorful and fresh... and the asian guac was one of my favorite parts of any of the dishes. The coconut curry chicken was just okay, probably the least favorite of what we ordered, mostly because the cuts of chicken used were less than desirable and there was alot of dark and fatty meat used. The calamari was delish, and for me to say that is huge since I don't exactly partake in seafood often, but this stuff had some amazing flavor on it and was super crunchy and not chewy at all. They also use little whole squids, so it's not all the fried rings like I'm used to. The crunchy chicken springrolls were served as 3, and I liked them personally, but boyf thought they were only just okay. They were crunchy and not oily and the inside had small chunks of chicken and minced veggies - just as you'd expect. I did not try the duck but was told it was fantastic. The chicken and rice noodles was the most mainstream dish we ordered and while tasty, was nothing special or anything set apart from dishes I can order at any Thai restaurant. The rice bun dough wrapped chicken/veggies was one of my favorite things we ordered and unlike anything I've had. I was expecting a bun, but it was like a noodle wrap, almost the consistency of a wonton, encompassing a delicious collective of minced chicken and veggies. I did not dislike one thing we ordered, and thought everything was really well done and delicious.
For dessert, we attempted to take advantage of the Yelp check-in offer of 1 euro off the pana cotta, but they were out so we got some kind of green tapioca. It was alright, not something I would probably pick out myself, but enjoyable for a few bites.
Totally recommend trying Transit out!
Its lottery. Some dish r good,some r bad.
Friend ordered noodle.soup(pho) .it was real bad... brooth is very important for this dish but seems.tjeybdidmt have to enough time to prepare. Booth is like water+salt.
But rice dish was good.
It"s Asian Tapas!!!! Not everything is great, but some are, and its all good. I have brought many people here, and we have never been disappointed.
Enjoy,
David
This place is very interesting and different and I loved it here. The service is good and you get a piece of paper where you fill out what you want to order. The dessert was great and each one of the bowls we had was delicious. I definitely recommend this place.
Amazing asian fusion tapas! Will definitely come again. The service was very friendly too.

Last time I was in Berlin I was not so impressed with the Asian food. Seattle boasts some high quality product and this German/pan Asian fare was not cutting it. Considering we only went to the cheapest of the cheap- it is entirely possible we were just eating in the wrong places.
Because this time we found a great place. We were intrigued by the uber-styled decor of red, black, and birdcages. Those cages are works of art! A bench lines one side and I graciously let my beau take the prime seat but was surprised by the comfort of the red chairs paired with these tables. Comfy goodness.
We ordered several small bowls for 3 euros and a side of rice (large bowls/soups available for 7 euro). We eat just about every meat- duck, chicken, catfish, & beef. (I try- but my man is a meat eater through & through). Also ordered a small beer (3 euro) & something called Asian Ice coffee. It says coffee- I'll try anything. Sweet Succotash what a drink! I figured out the work I didn't know was "condensed milk" which coated the bottom of the glass is sticky sweet. A little stir and I was in heaven. That is delicious. Also had a mango milkshake that looked like it would make an excellent compliment.
Food was ordered & out like snap which can make me suspicious of the heat/flavor of the meal, but speed was just a bonus here. Everything Was Delicious. Really good. And the few spicy dishes were clearly marked (making them an obvious first choice for us) and were actually spicy! Gasp. Not like burn-your-mouth, but adding perfect heat.
All of this we had for 19 euros before tip. Add this place to the go-to.
This place is awesome. I was in Berlin with a couple friends for the weekend and found this place here on Yelp. We showed up around 8:00 on a Saturday night to find the place packed (always a good sign). Then the hostess told us it would be about a two hour wait to get a table, but after some sweet talking, "squeezed" us into a great table near the kitchen.
The menu is simple, pretty much tapas style, only Thai. Each of us got 2 dishes (about 3 euro a piece) and a dish of rice, which was plenty. I highly recommend the curry dishes, they were amazing. The atmosphere combined with the great prices and delicious food make this a winner in my book. I will definitely be back here next time I'm in Berlin!
Transit is Asian food revisited.
It looks very cool to begin with. It's big, and has 2 parts: one more Asian looking part with round tables and one part with an enormous amount of birdcages hanging from the ceiling.
To order you have to fill out an order form and give it to the waiter. Order some little dishes with cute names (for 3 euro) per dish or a big dish for 7 euro. If you want to sit for You can also order in 2 or 3 parts... add rice or noodles for 1 euro.
3 small dishes are plenty for one person! For small eaters 2 will even do... so I don't think it's expensive.
The food varies from just good to very good. Service is sweet and fast.
I liked the atmosphere, the mixed crowd (from F-hain alternatives to London hipsters) and will definitely go here again. What I like is that, unlike most Asian places in this neighborhood who just focus on feeding you, you can have a nice, and even long dinner here with friends.
Ursprünglich wollten meine Mädels und ich woanders hin, doch dann verschlug es uns hier her - ein Volltreffer! Das Konzept ist interessant und vergleichbar mit einer Tapasbar. Du schreibst auf einem vorgefertigten Bestellblock die Anzahl der „Tapas“ auf und gibst ihn bei der Bestellung ab. Das Essen kam fix, war sehr hochwertig und lecker! Was für mich am aller wichtigsten ist: Man kann mit Apple Pay zahlen! 🙏🏻
Wir hatten mit 3 Personen 7 Bowls, eine kam später. Jede Bowl war für sich genommen lecker, allerdings war alles sehr fleischlastig. Ich hätte mir mehr Auswahl bei den vegetarischen Optionen gewünscht oder auch ein bisschen Gemüse mit den Gerichten mit Fleisch. Preise waren okay.
Super lecker, immer wieder gerne hier. Vorher reservieren, wenn man nicht warten möchte. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Das Essen war einfach klasse und durch die kleinen Portionen kann man viele verschiedene Gerichte probieren. Nur zu empfehlen....👍
Nette Location mit sinnvoller Bestuhlung des Außenbereichs (der Bürgersteig wird zur Abwechslung nicht blockiert)!
Das Pad Thai war laut meiner Begleitung wirklich sehr gut, aber für 11€ etwas arg klein.
Ich hatte für je 3,90€ das saisonale Gemüse in Erdnussauce, und Ente im Pfannkuchenteig (das waren 2 Stück), sie haben mich überraschenderweise gesättigt und vor allem ersteres war sehr gut. Das dunkle Weißbier für 4,50€ fand ich dann aber wieder zu teuer.
Die Bedienung war höflich und nett, zur generellen Innenatmosphäre und Lautstärke z.B. kann ich leider nichts sagen.
Durchaus eine Adresse, die man besuchen kann!
Super nette Bedienung, super Essen. Sehr empfehlenswert
