Surprisingly good Sichuan noodles in Berlin Mitte. I mean,…read moreberlin is probably the world capital of "good but not great" food - everything is good, but you are very rarely blown away. And there is this place - which is, genuinely, amazingly, great. The noodles have the right tooth, the broth is unctuous and umami laden, the meats/veggies/tofu/... are done just right - I mean, this is amazeballs! And yeah, you can get all the ma-la fix that you want - just be wary of the lunch rush...

For favorite dishes, I'm torn between the eggplants and potatoes in red sauce vs. the cold smoked tofu with cilantro. The latter was spicy, salty, tart with black vinegar, just totally delicious in every way. I love that dense pressed tofu with the smoked exterior. I also ordered the veggie dumplings, which had a great texture, and yuxian style tofu, which I found delicious if a bit too sweet for my taste. An order of food that was enough to feed 4 people came to 30 euros. Highly recommend! Note: since the restaurant adapted itself to German tastes, the food is not very spicy, but I'm sure if you asked for spicier food they would be happy to oblige.

The board outside only shows 2 entree for lunch but the website shows more lunch options. Upon checking out, he clearly explained that the total did not include tip. Seriously???

Casual dining, Chinese restaurant located a short walk up the road from the Friedrichstraße rail…read morestation in Mitte (~5min walk). Menu includes a range of typical Chinese dishes, but the real attraction is their 'hot pot' specials where they set up a simmering pot of soup (you can get the soup as mild or spicy as you like) on a burner in the middle of the table with a variety of seafood, meats, vegetables and noodles to cook at the table. It's the perfect way to warm up on a chilly day! Prices for the hot pot combinations are very reasonable, making this a good value and fun way to share a meal with a group I have not tried many of the items from the regular menu, but did order their noodle soup for lunch once - I was not particularly impressed by it. Stick to the hot pot if you feel like a warm soup/noodle type of meal. They also have a small range of dim sum that are quite tasty bites. I like making a meal of it by ordering a few different items. Depending on how hungry I am, I can order more or less. My favorite here is the har gaw (steamed shrimp dumpling) with a nice dip in chili sauce before popping into my mouth.

A bday of a fellow yelper (and a friend) is a reason for a feast. I was first to arrive, and the staff looked at me and examined me constantly which made me feel uncomfortable, but when everybody else joined it was okay The place itself was crowded and every table was full, the minute somebody left, another group came almost instantly We ordered some cocktails and headed over to the Buffett, and that's exactly what I have in mind when I hear this word. Thing is massive! For 18€ there's an endless option all you can Buffett - from simple salads to many grill options, you can make a mix grilled diy plate (choose from seafood, fish, beef, lamb, chicken and even kangaroo!) or you can take some from the rodizio grill. And if that's not enough there are plenty of other main dishes- I've tried a little from almost everything, curry, different Chinese dishes, fried rice, regular rice, soups and deep fried fruits. Dessert? No worries! There's soft ice cream and various cakes to choose from! I wasn't expecting much from a place outside of town, but the quality of the food was very good! Everything I tried tasted fresh and there's a reason why I had four plates ;) If you are around and starving, I'd pass by
