Man, that's awesome you found Song Lam 37! Seriously, stumbling on a place like that is half the fun. The fact that it was almost empty and pouring rain just adds to the mystery... and probably explains the amazing food. Since you liked the beef fried rice so much, I'd bet their other beef dishes are killer. Maybe try something with a different sauce— maybe a black bean sauce or something with garlic and chili? And if they have any noodle dishes, those are usually a safe bet in places like that. Honestly, just pointing at things on the menu and hoping for the best is part of the adventure! Enjoy your next culinary Berlin adventure.

It's a mixed bag, honestly. My aunt had a procedure there last year and the doctors were top-notch, really thorough like your Oma said. But the waiting room... yeah, that's another story. It can get pretty packed, especially in the mornings. Three hours is possible, but I wouldn't count on a speedy in-and-out. Maybe try going first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon to beat the rush. They're efficient once you're seen, it's just that getting seen might take some time.
