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.

As asian dim sum lover I have to disagree with the great ratings for this place. Maybe because this…read morearea has less options for dim sum? Anyways the dim sum is mediocre and we left very disappointed. Taste, portion, everything. If you are looking for authentic good dim sum, you'll find asian locals eating at Aroma restaurant in Kantstrasse (West Berlin). Sorry! Besides the Prenzlauer Berg and Young Generation vibe.. thIs place is nothing for me.

The dumplings are little parcels of perfection: delicate, flavorful, and clearly made with love. There's something about the vibe here--laid-back yet stylish, with that neon glow--that makes you want to stay for hours, ordering steamy basket after basket. Great (small) beer selection. Some places fade in your memory, but Yumcha Heroes? It's even better than I remembered

The owner was so nice and sat us at her staff table to accommodate our group and also gave us raspberry sorbet on the house! I highly recommend starting with a Frische Safte of apple/cucumber/ginger/mint/ginger ale. And be sure to add a shot of vodka! We had the Argentine beef special, Mrs Shu Mia, Green veggie (vegan) dumplings, Shou Mai, Honey spare ribs, classic summer rolls, Fu Ling, and tiger prawns. All were A+!! It's family style with long tables and benches inside and out. The food and staff could not have been better!

In the picture is the beef dumplings only (b9 on the menu I believe) as I was starving and chomped on the pumpkin/pea set immediately.

Stop the world: there's finally an authentic restaurant in Berlin that whips up a proper Chinese…read morebreakfast. While there's a bit of a markup because we aren't in New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles (read: hubs for good Chinese food), I think it's still worth stopping by this tiny little restaurant in Wilmersdorf over the weekend if you're craving some dim sum, baos, or youtiao. (It's conveniently located on four U-Bahn lines: the U1, U2, U3, and U9, so you don't really have much of an excuse.) Sadly, I wasn't able to order the xiao long bao because I no longer eat red meat -- what a time to live in Germany, right? -- but every other party in the room had at least one native Mandarin speaker who took the initiative to order xiao long bao for their tables. From my eavesdropping, they all seemed pretty pleased. I ordered a single youtiao (€1), a vegetable bun (€1.50), an order of four ha gow (€3.50), and a glass of hot homemade soy milk (€2.50). For those who aren't already familiar with Chinese cuisine, the menu lacks item descriptions and is a little barren. For example, the highlight of my meal was hands down the vegetable bao, but the menu only describes it as a "steamed bun" auf Deutsch. I don't think that does the savory combination of mushrooms, cabbage, and carrots justice. €1.50 is also a very reasonable price, seeing as a bao goes for $1.50-2 in San Francisco. The ha gow was a little pricier and a bit smaller than what it would've been in San Francisco, but there was still a decent amount of shrimp inside and it tasted delicious, so no complaints!

Curiosity got the better of us and we stopped by an Asian restaurant (Taiwanese) to be exact to try…read morehow Taiwanese food was interpreted in Germany. The proprietor is a boss-looking Taiwanese guy who speaks Chinese, English, German and presumably more. Food was served hot and fast -- we got dim sum, hot oil wontons, crispy duck noodle soup and some tea. Dim sum and wontons were honestly nothing special (the shrimp dumplings had chicken filling combined with the shrimp, which was a big miss in my opinion) but the crispy duck was quite tasty and definitely the highlight of the meal. It's clear that they've had to make modifications to accommodate the mostly German clientele that they serve. Hence, not the most authentic of places but pretty good food nonetheless. If I wanted to try Asian food in Berlin again, I'd probably go to Goji or maybe one of the handpulled noodle restaurants.

Food-wise that's all I ordered that I'd consider good or worth ordering again. Shumai appeared freshly made but wasn't authentic. It did contain a generous amount of ground meat but lacked ginger and scallion and a rich, complex enough flavor in general. Tapas I ordered were also a bit lackluster. Fried tofu was definitely better than the coconut shrimp - avoid coconut shrimp at all costs if you want to taste any coconut,l. But if you want simply fried shrimps without any spice it's not bad. Tofu could use more salt, pepper, and other spices. They really tried with that one though. As other noted the environment is pretty chill and trendy. No issues with service. They also have lunch specials.

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.
