    Updating my review since I came here to eat in person. As suspected, eating here is the way to go. I have had Berlin on my list of places to try in person and it did not disappoint. Restaurant is pretty small with 2 tables inside and shared seating outside. The employees were all super friendly. I ordered the sandwich this time because I saw someone else order it and it looked very tasty with chicken and original sauce. The doner came out fairly quickly. The inside was exactly how I remembered it. The meat was generous and tender. The veggies were fresh. Everything was so much better when I ate it there. Also, the bread was nice crunchy. Definitely this doner should be eaten there for the full experience. I am definitely going to come back here next time my doner craving hits. A few logistics, there's a small lot for parking but I can see it getting crowded during peak time. And no restroom inside.

    Doner Sandwich. Kabob tasted like space hydrogenated chicken. Also weird taste.

    Horrible. Absolute trash. One of the worst middle-eastern style sandwiches and the first and last time I order anything doner or Turkish style pita breaded sandwich probably ever. What a joke. I have no idea what I deserved to get such terrible quality but here goes: I ordered the chicken kabob style 'classic doner sandwich' with fries. Truly absolutely disgusting. I've never had hydrogenated chicken breast, but it was quite leathery and had zero flavor . No salt. No pepper. No spices . Tasted like old jerked shoe leather space hide meant for Apollo missions. I mean it tasted like imitation 'veggie' chicken meat, but it wasn't . Taste was that bizarre. Fries were no better. Over cooked, and tasted like it had been sunbathing under the lamp for hours. À horrid experience . I cannot believe for the life of me that Berlins has like over a thousand reviews with an aggregate 4.5 stars. Success must be going to the chefs head !

    Doner meat

    NEGATIVE -5 out of 5 ! If you want dry not juicy old doner meat and chicken this is the place HORRIBLE FOOD UNEATABLE Meat is horrible and dry no flavor Chicken dry no flavor Rice horrible sitting around all day They forgot my second sauce Very bad experience never again

    Stopped by Berlins German Doner on a Tuesday afternoon for a quick snack and had a great experience. The place is casual but clean, and the service was extremely friendly. You order at the counter, and while the menu is limited, the food really delivers. We tried the Doner Box with beef--super tasty meat, extra crispy fries, and flavorful sauces that tied everything together. Great spot for a satisfying bite. Will definitely be back!

    I come to Berlin's all the time because my barbershop is in the same plaza. Almost every time I get a haircut, I end up grabbing a sandwich here--it's become a routine. Mateas and Luis are the best. They're respectful, fast, and genuinely know how to take care of customers. I've even seen them give free sides like French fries when orders take longer than expected, which shows real appreciation and good service. I usually get the chicken wrap or the doner with house sauce, hot, and spicy. I'm not personally a fan of lamb, but a lot of people love it, so it's worth trying. The chicken, though, is a must.

    Donar beef and lamb , drink and fries. About 20 dollars with tip . A good value, and a delicious sandwich. I've come here enough to fill up several cards with the stamps. I'm never disappointed.

    We just revisited Berlin's and found it to be as delicious as ever! We ordered the Chicken Doňer Wrap and kept wanting me. Very flavorful. The shop was spotless and inviting. The two male employees (Saturday early evening) were very nice and welcoming. We drove a distance from the South Bay just for Berlin's! We'll be back, of course, but wish you opened another location down in the beach cities. We'd be your best customers! Great food!

    Came here on a Thursday evening around 6 to grab dinner. It's impossible to find Berliner-style döner kebab in the US, so I have to try it when I see it. It's a small shop with limited seating and the folks working there were incredibly friendly. I put in an order at the counter for the beef and lamb Döner sandwich with feta and the spicy sauce as well as a side of pita and garlic aioli. The flavor was a thing of beauty, I haven't had anything as good as this since my first time having Berliner-style döner in 2014 in Europe. It tasted so good that I went back and put in an order for a chicken Döner sandwich with feta and spicy sauce. This one was also incredible. So glad I came here and will definitely seek it out again the next time I'm in LA. Highly, highly, highly recommend coming here!

    Don't quite know what to make of this place. Food is fresh and bright and tasty, but a bit above normal market prices. I ate my whole rice bowl in one sitting (chipotle usually lasts me 2). For $20 it's just not a substantial amount of food. Don't know if it was just a lacking day lol. Service staff are great, keep it clean, very prompt and professional. Also why is it named and classified German?! Maybe i'm uneducated here but it didn't taste German at all! Enjoyed it though. Still would come back though, simply because the food tastes real and clean. It's worth the price for the quality upgrade here in my opinion.

    Lamb and beef combo is the best. Juicy, spiced right, never dry-just perfection in every wrap.

    Five stars! Berlins' donor sandwiches are legit delicious-always fresh, packed with flavor, and consistent since way before COVID. Never had a bad bite here. Keep killing it!

    Can you make a lighter bbq sauce that is vegan and has no Mayo? What are the lightest sauces available? They all seem heavy although it claims to be low calorie

    The chef special and the tzatziki sauce have only 10% mayo in them. The main base for all sauces is yogurt. Tahini has no mayo and the sambal sauce also has 0 mayo.

    Is the doner meat a mix of beef and lamb or is it 100% lamb or beef?

    It is beef and a touch of lamb.

    Hi, is there oil in the cabbage?

    No there is not. Thank you for the lovely review.

    Is this place's meat kosher or halal?

    It’s is halal.

    Are there any plans to open one in DTLA?

    Do you not serve ketchup?

    Yes they do!

    Is there one in northcal?

    Hi Dee. Currently we only have BERLINS in SoCal

    Are your meats halal slaughtered? When you say that they are halal, do you only mean "no pork"?

    Hello. All our meats are Halal slaughtered. We have a Halal certificate on all our meat skewers that we can show you. We have a Turkish butcher.

You order from the two kiosks or off of your phone so remember that they do not take cash as payment.

    CHAGEE Modern Teahouse is a modern Chinese tea concept that focuses on tea-forward drinks rather…read morethan the typical overly sweet bubble tea experience. We walked into a polished, contemporary space with a premium feel, the kind of place that feels closer to a specialty tea café than a traditional boba shop. The branding, presentation, and overall atmosphere are a big part of the appeal, creating a space that feels designed for both grabbing a drink and hanging out. The interior is clean and intentional, with a design that elevates the experience beyond a typical tea stop. The biggest strength of CHAGEE is the tea quality. The drinks tend to highlight the actual tea flavor, which makes them stand out from many milk tea shops that rely heavily on sugar or toppings. The jasmine-based drinks are a good example, with a fragrant floral profile that comes through clearly without being perfumed. The menu has a nice balance between classic milk teas and more unique tea creations. The drinks are generally less sweet and more focused on the tea itself, so it works well for anyone who wants something different from standard boba. The downside is that the drinks can feel a little expensive compared to other tea shops, especially since most of the appeal comes from the quality of the tea rather than large portions or lots of toppings. The portions are reasonable, but the cost reflects the premium positioning of the brand. The main issue with CHAGEE is consistency and wait times. Some locations can get extremely crowded, and the popularity sometimes creates long lines that make the experience less convenient. The ordering process is usually organized, but the wait can be difficult to justify when the final drink is more of a solid tea experience rather than something completely unique. Service is generally friendly, and the staff seem well trained despite the busy environment. They handle the flow efficiently, but the volume can test the operation's capacity. CHAGEE feels like a premium tea shop aimed at people who appreciate the flavor of tea itself. It is not necessarily the place to go if you want a dessert-like boba drink loaded with toppings, but it is a good option for jasmine tea, oolong, and more refined milk tea flavors. The atmosphere and presentation add to the experience, though the long waits and higher prices may determine whether it becomes a regular stop or just a place to try once. For what it does, it executes the concept well, offering a drink that feels more like a tea experience than a sugary treat.

    I wanted to give Chagee a try because of all the hype, but overall, I found it just okay…read more One of my biggest frustrations was that some drinks don't allow you to customize the ice level or sweetness, which is something I generally expect from a tea or boba shop. Being able to adjust a drink to your personal preference is a big part of the experience for me. The store itself is beautiful and clearly designed with social media in mind. It's stylish, modern, and definitely very Instagram-friendly. However, it felt like the focus was more on the branding and aesthetics than on the tea itself. The drinks were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. If you're looking for a trendy spot to take photos or see what the buzz is about, it might be worth a visit. But if you're a serious tea drinker or looking for what I'd consider a true boba tea shop experience, I probably wouldn't recommend it as my first choice.

Luckily, Yi Fang is one of those spots where parking is rarely an issue.

The store itself is on the smaller side, with only a few chairs and seating options available. They offer both a self-serve kiosk for quick ordering and a front register if you have questions or prefer ordering with staff assistance. Yi Fang is best known for their fruit teas, which are considered their specialty. Personally, I tend to prefer milk teas, and while the drinks are still good, I found the quality of the grass jelly and boba to feel somewhat inconsistent compared to other boba places I've visited.
