Prices are €5-€8 for carry out to dine in, the portions are sizeable (we were hungry after a day of walking!) and the food is cooked fresh and fast while you wait. Great sauces, crisp veggies, nicely cooked meats. For this price you can't do better.

Look, let me start by saying that, despite more good places popping up as of late, it can be really…read morehard to find good Thai/Chinese/Eastern Asian type food, so it's all relative. So I am rating this place not on a grand scale of Asian food in Berlin, or even compared to the stuff I miss from the US, but relative to other Asian and specifically fast food places in Berlin. As far as quick eats Asian places, this is about as good as you'll find. €4.50 will get you a box with lots of rice, veggies, and chicken (€1 more for duck) and your choice of decent sauces. After trying every other place around there this is the only place in this category that I have ever come back too, and now I come two or three times a week. Generally, avoid Alexanderplatz as all of the food around is garbage, but if you are there all of the time (I work one tram stop away, and food is worse by my office) and need a decent quick meal, this place is pretty solid.

After two weeks in Germany, our Chinese meal here was pure delight…read more The place felt so serene, from the aquariums and the soft music to the beautiful decor. We had artfully presented dong bau beef (kung pao in U.S.) and stir fried shrimp, pork and chicken with vegetables. Each plate cost under 20 Euro. Seems you can't really eat in Germany without beer, and we found out it goes with all kinds of cuisine--even Chinese. I was surprised when we got a takeout box that it was stryofoam. That was the first piece of stryofoam I saw in Germany. Took off a star for that because Europe seems so very environmentally progressive. Highly recommend this place for a great change of pace in this interesting city.

The owner came over and spoke to us. He came here 40 years ago from Hong Kong. You can tell from the pictures that we had a scrumptious dinner and good German beer and wine. The Mojito was almost a work of art. The restaurant itself gave us a very upscale Chinese restaurant experience. All in all if you're in Berlin and near this "off the beaten path" restaurant, it's a must do.

In a word - best dim sum I have ever had in my life, even better than in China!…read more Longer version (for the brave) - hands down, best dim sum I've had so far. We've arrived here for dinner before it got really crowded, so if you plan on coming here after 20:00- reserve a table, the place is pretty small. Once we've opened the menu we were thinking "ok, so what do we not order?!" As my friend is vegetarian, we had about 9 options to choose from if you exclude the ones with chicken/pork/seafood. Which is quite a lot! So we've settled on four, all vegetarian. The one who took our order asked if we're vegan or vegetarian, we said no but didn't really understood why - until he put complimentary prawn crackers on the table, super nice and highly considerate! For a starter we had a soup that was kind of tasteless until we added some soy into it, but as the dim sum arrived we forget about it. 9 - kakao traum, absolute best! If we weren't full after all the food we'd totally order one more round of those, perfect flavor, perfect serving. The others we've taken were also really good, but this was really something else. From our point of view this is a place you can't really go wrong. There's no good and bad, just tasty and tastier!

They are only open for dinner. It is a cozy spot with wonderful dumplings and Shumai. There are vegan options for the filling as well as things for the carnivores. We got soup dumplings and a variety of others. My friend ordered a delicious wood ear filled dumplings and some small plates as apps. Do not walk past this one. It is worth the stop. Our dumpling baskets were stacked 2 foot tall when we were done.

We stopped here New Years Day Eve to enjoy a 2025 celebration. They had a 3 and 4 course menu and…read morewe chose the 3 course. It started off with the mushroom and chicken soup. Delicious flavor and presentation. Cooked perfectly, broth could have used a bit more depth in flavor but I rounded it out with a touch of ground pepper. The dumpling with side sauces were absolutely wonderful and nicely prepared. Assortment of meats and vegetables all loaded and steamed to perfection. The entree deserves top billing as it was arranged beautifully which mirrored the delicious flavor of the meat and accompanying vegetables. Loads of flavor, cooked perfectly and married with a nice sauce. The highlight was a glass of champagne offered at the start of the meal. Bubbly, not overly sweet and it was a great way to start the meal. Highly recommended. Beautiful location, very clean and nicely decorated for the holidays. Wir haben am Silvesterabend hier angehalten, um eine Feier für 2025 zu genießen. Es gab ein 3- und 4-Gänge-Menü und wir haben uns für das 3-Gänge-Menü entschieden. Es begann mit der Pilz- und Hühnersuppe. Köstlicher Geschmack und Präsentation. Perfekt gekocht, die Brühe hätte etwas mehr Geschmackstiefe vertragen können, aber ich habe sie mit einer Prise gemahlenem Pfeffer abgerundet. Die Knödel mit den Beilagensaucen waren absolut wunderbar und schön zubereitet. Auswahl an Fleisch und Gemüse, alles perfekt geladen und gedünstet. Die Vorspeise verdient höchste Anerkennung, da sie wunderschön angerichtet war, was den köstlichen Geschmack des Fleisches und des dazugehörigen Gemüses widerspiegelte. Jede Menge Geschmack, perfekt gekocht und mit einer schönen Sauce gepaart. Das Highlight war ein Glas Champagner, das zu Beginn der Mahlzeit angeboten wurde. Sprudelnd, nicht zu süß und es war ein toller Start in die Mahlzeit. Sehr empfehlenswert. Wunderschöne Lage, sehr sauber und schön für den Feiertag dekoriert.

Their shrimp dimsum and pork siomai are yum too! Then of course, how can you go wrong with their Jolly half peking duck! All good! Service - meh. There were only 4 servers to an almost full restaurant at 1pm. But you just make eye contact and smile and they will notice you. Ambiance - nice! Like those nice chinese restaurant, no smell of their cooking. I was surprised. Before you raise your eyebrows on my comment, I just want to point out that I have been to those that smells like their food, sometimes its off-putting, sometimes its not. Overall, highly recommend. :)

For a moment I thought that was back the States and dining in a Chinatown restaurant. This place is quite authentic as in being Chinese in all regards.
