Sehr gutes Essen, Nettes Ambiente - Edit
Das Essen war sehr lecker, wir hatten 7 verschiedene Tapas, die relativ zügig serviert wurden. Ich hätte mir ein Nachfragen gewünscht, ob alles okay ist. Die Nummern für die Gerichte mussten selbst aufgeschrieben werden. Wenn man draußen sitzt, muss man damit rechnen, dass häufiger gebettelt wird, daher lieber gleich drinnen essen. Die Speisen waren sehr ansprechend angerichtet. Es wäre schön, wenn bei den Saucen wie Salat, Frühlingsrollen etc etwas mehr Variabilität wäre. Geschmeckt hat alles ausgezeichnet. Weiterzuempfehlen!
Read morePros: Gerichtsauswahl, Geschmack- Das Essen war großartig, Inneneinrichtung
Cons: Bedienung, etwas unaufmerksam, wenn auch freulich, Bettler beim draußen Sitzen, Keine Kartenzahlung

Great options but not everything hit the mark - Edit
My partner and I came here in a Saturday lunch time and it was very quiet. I think there was one other table of three in and it's a big space. It's cash only so I had to pop out and grab some cash at the end of the meal. The food... Between us we ordered 6 tapas plates to share and it made for a filling meal.
Read more9. Korean Corn Dog
vegan cheese with quinoa, breading and herb sauce
I always like having one of these on a menu but I do prefer it when there's a sausage filling rather than just cheese. I think I'm at the point where tasty breaded vegan cheese has become common and really it's just a mozzarella stick. It was a nice option but nothing mind blowing.
10. Tempura Löffel
with crispy tempura seitan balls, Vietnamese coriander, seaweed salad, ginger and wasabi soy sauce
I wasn't sure what to expect from this but all those buzz words together caught my attention. This was probably my favourite plate. The seitan had a good bouncy seafood texture to it and it worked really well with the texture from the seaweed. The sauce was well balanced too with a nice wasabi taste but without the burn.
11. Crispy Shrimp
Seitan prawns with breading and raspberry chili sauce.
These were okay but not great. The shrimp were tasty and the coating was good and crispy but it was a bit thick and the whole bite felt like it was mostly batter with a scrap of shrimp in there.
18. Mushroom Wok
Wok-seared dish with mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, soy sauce mix and oyster mushroom sauce.
There was a good variety of mushrooms here that were all cooked well. The sauce had plenty of flavour and it made.fot.a good plate.
15. Duck Crispy
Seitan duck with edamame, carrots and hoisin plum sauce.
The texture and flavour of the duck were very good with the sesame in the crust making it a little different to other mock duck I've tried. The sauce was a good complement to the meat.
27. Mini spring rolls
Crispy fried mini spring rolls with a savory filling of morels, carrots, cabbage, glass noodles, garlic and soy. Served with garlic chili sauce.
These were unremarkable and didn't taste any better than any other mini spring rolls I've ever had.
A little bit of a mixed bag but I'd happily go back and try some more of their dishes. I enjoy having the option of trying so many things at these Asian tapas restaurants. I've maybe been a bit generous with giving it 4* rather than 3*.

Obsessed - Edit
Stunning food, lovely vibes! We had a selection of the tapas and every single dish was delicious - the seitan wok and the dumplings were unbelievable. Was cash only but there is an ATM just round the corner.

Lovely food, lovely place - Edit
Only cash! That honestly surprised me. But apart from that, the food is amazing. I can really recommend the vegan corndog, yum! And I love that you can sit on the floor in one area.

Cosy Vegan Tapas in Berlin. 🫶🏼 - Edit
We randomly stumbled upon Element Five and were seriously impressed! Super cozy little spot with friendly vibes and really comforting vegan dishes. The Korean Corn Dog was insanely good.

Love the tapas - Edit
I love that the menu is mostly small plates so you can try so many things! We had the crispy shrimp, summer rolls, crispy rice cakes, "ente" Kross, curry kokusnuss, Korean corn dog, and tempura spoon. For 2 hungry adults this was just right. We also had a fried banana dessert because, why not? Also the margarita is STRONG and will turn you into a girl-drink-drunk.
Read morePros: lots of choices, strong mixed drinks, all vegan

Wow - Edit
Everything we had was incredible,
Read moreThe Seitan Tapas, mango Lassi drink and the IP Man's large dish were just wow.
Highly recommend!
Only drawback is that they don't accept Mastercard or Visa, which forced me to use cash.

Unhealthy - Edit
I had an upset stomach for a long time after eating here once. I decided to never eat in an Asian restaurant again after this experience. I posted a 1-star review about it on Google Maps, which they had removed citing "defamation". This is not fair. On this website, they don't allow the posting of 1-star reviews. I can't recommend anyone eating in a place which I now consider dangerous, and I think that I have the right to post my experience as a consumer, as well as warn other naive people.
Read morePros: Can't think of anything
Cons: Chemical taste

Ist ok - Edit
Durch die ganzen positiven Bewertungen hatten wir eine besonders hohe Erwartungshaltung.
Read moreDas Essen war "okay". Das Curry sehr lecker aber Mini-Portion. Der Bowl Reis-Gemüsetopf war eine größere Portion, aber etwas trocken. Dafür relativ günstig. Service sehr freundlich, jedoch wenig aufmerksam. Die Bestellung sollten wir selbst auf einen kleinen Zettel kritzeln und dann reinbringen. Zum Zahlen muss man auch reinlaufen und Kreditkarten werden nicht akzeptiert.
Ist man zufällig in der Nähe, passt es schon.
Pros: Günstig , Freundlich

Pure joy! - Edit
I noticed the “100% vegan” and had to stop. Ordered a nice spread for myself and enjoyed every bite! The herb sauce is dynamite, I could drink it. Loved the dumplings and tempura avocado! Everything n had delicious flavors. Garlic mushrooms, greens, kimchee, and my favorite tofu spring rolls. I enjoyed the outside seating on a nice spring day. Happy.
Read morePros: Nice clean flavors, Small dishes, you can sample more!, All vegan!

Ok food - a bit too eclectic - Edit
Food is alright, but the vast combination of different asian cuisines make it a bit eclectic rather than a complete experience with tastes complementing each other. But maybe I should just have made better picks

Update: Second time I went, the service was really bad. We felt we were disturbing. The food was still very good.

Everything was perfectly tasty. we felt like we were disturbing took 7 tapas and they were all yummy and the price is more than honest. Don't order all at the same time, the service is extremely quick, you can wait till you finish one or 2.

amazing taste and amazing deal! - Edit
Element Five is kind of a hidden spot.
Read moreIt’s pretty grim inside which we weren’t happy about first, but the food was soo good, we forgot about that quickly.
The mains and tapas we had were very, very yummy. Asian-infused, but e.g. with cashew- and avocado-spinach sauce, so not that typical or standard kind of dishes.
We enjoyed everything very much, the portions were a good size too and all in all so cheap! My main was 10,90€ - I had so many asian foods way worse and way more expensive before.
Totally recommend!!

Cheap, quick, great taste - Edit
This place is a gem! We ordered a bunch of tapas and expected to wait at least 20-30 mins, but all the food arrived in 5 min(!). The waiter was informative and nice and made us feel right at home. I would rate the food mostly 5/5, but 1-2 dishes were 4/5. Very affordable. All in all great!

Es geht kaum besser 🥰 - Edit
Die Auswahl an veganen asiatischen tapas und großen Gerichten ist Mega. Wir hatten 4 tapas und ein großes Gericht für zwei Personen und sind gut satt geworden, hatten aber auch großen Hunger. Besonders gut fand ich den seitan, den corn dog, die Vegane Ente und die angebratenen dumplings. Die Mitarbeiterinnen waren auch total cute! Und der Laden sieht so cool aus, eine Mega Atmosphäre. 💝
