Five vegan and 14 vegetarian dishes
Bia & Ban
At Bia & Ban, noodles, dumplings, wontons and skewers shape a focused Chinese menu, with seasonal specials adding variety. Dumplings and skewers are especially worthwhile alongside a main rather than treated as afterthoughts, and the kitchen makes items in house.
The cooking can be boldly seasoned: the wonton soup, for example, carries a pronounced Sichuan-pepper kick. Five vegan and 14 vegetarian dishes give meat-free diners unusually clear breadth, while beer and other alcoholic drinks are available. Its casual Augustenstraße setting works for lunch, dinner, a quick bite or a solo meal, yet table service and group suitability make it equally practical for a relaxed shared spread. Attentive, spontaneous service is another strong point.
