DISCLAIMER: You may get eye cancer from the following photos because they are pretty bad quality. Apologies for the shitty quality, but the restaurant/bar had this typical 'ambient' lighting (read: dark) so...deal with it. ¯\(°_o)/¯
Anyway, on to the important bit. Pacifico is a Korean-Californian fusion restaurant located in the region of Moritzplatz (it's actually right near the exit of the U-bahn so, pretty convenient). I came here with my family when they were visiting, so there was the opportunity to try out more things on the menu. The menu isn't super extensive and is limited to burgers, 'taco' buns and bibimbap (Korean rice bowls), but my god, do they do them well. Their burgers are by far the most BOMB-DIGGITY creations I've ever had. The buns are extremely butter and soft, and the patty cooked to a perfect medium/ medium rare. My brother had the OC burger, not complicated, no extra kimchi or any other ingredients. Just a good ol' regular burger.
We also ordered the Kimchi fries to share, which was insanely delicious. I love the combination of sweet potato fries, regular fries and kimchi mayo. My only complaint? Too little sweet potato fries! I love those little suckers.
My pick for the night was their 'Chinese Cheater'. For the Singaporeans/ Malaysians out there, you might be familiar with the concept of a Kong Ba Pau. The bun here is very similar to that, but larger and stuffed with crispy duck, coriander, cucumber and hoisin sauce. Love x infinity the combination of crispy duck and coriander. Mmmm. Might need to consider cooking this as a dish at home.
My parents went for a traditional bibimbap bowl (because they are boring lulz sorry mom) which was also pretty good. Never been a big bibimbap fan so I can't comment on whether it's delicious or not, but it definitely wasn't bad.
All in all, Pacifico gets five stars from me. Great food, at a great value! The buns and burgers cost around 5-7 euros, which in my opinion is a steal. Take note that they only accept cash here!
UPDATE: Came here again for Lunch today, the Kimcheezy burger is DABOMB. My new favourite burger in Berlin. Also, new tip, if you top up your buger by 2.50 you can get Angus beef!
