I am very skeptical of Chinese food in Berlin, as I have had a few disappointments lately. That being said, Wok Show was incredible. Homemade Chinese dumplings (Jiaozi, including vegan options) that taste like they were made to order and never frozen. The price is also affordable too, approximately 10€ a person, for a lot of food and drink. The cucumber and garlic dish complimented the dumplings with a freshness, and I loved the touch of crispy chili on top and toasted sesame oil. During COVID they have a limited amount of outdoor seating, so expect to wait for a table or order to-go. read more

Jiaozi (Chinese Dumpling) | about 7-8€ for 20 pieces Lunch at my favourite place for Jiaozi (chinese dumplings). Nomnomnom. It's a popular place for Jiaozi and affordable for the amount you get I think. You can always choose whether you want them boiled or fried. Been in love with it since my friend showed us this place and we ordered 80 dumplings years agao *-* . #CaloristasCheapEats_Berlin read more

This place deserves 5 stars. The dumplings are echt gut! And actually authentic to what I experienced in China. The other dishes I've had have also been very tasty and pretty authentic. Service is friendly and the place is clean. read more

So salty. We had wonton soup, dumplings, and 2 other dishes. The soup was fine the rest was inedible. There was also a hair in one dish :( Staff was nice. I was hoping for a lot more from this place. We came by in summer and couldn't get a table so we thought it would be good. read more

I had this one on my list for a while already but so far it didn't work out but today was the day... I love dumplings! No matter whether it's the russians or the chinese but these were quality. Because I wanted to try them all I asked whether it's possible to try them all and when the waitress said "yes" without hesitating I was already in love with this place! The menu offers 20 piece or 40 piece options either boiled or fried. We took a mix of everything with 40 pieces and it's just the perfect amount to not be too full while still get a good idea of all their flavours. I loved it and I highly recommend to get a "mixed platter" (not on the menu). Although I loved every single flavor the ones with salmon did stick out today... read more

When you have a serious good appetite for dumpling and wish to get a dumpling satisfaction at a reasonable price - then Wok Sho is your place. 20 dumplings (veg/pork/beef/lamb/sea food) for approx 7-8 euro with an option of boiled/fried. This is coupled with a variety of Chinese dishes and drinks. read more

These are the best dumplings that I have found so far. You get a huge order for a very good price and they are very tasty. Try the tofu soup or the cold chicken salad with peanut sauce as well. Very aromatic. I think these are the most authentic dumplings in Prenzlauer Berg. I would further recommend Lecker Song if you prefer something more visually interesting. Forget all the hipster places further south, though. They have no idea how to make a great dumpling serving like what you get in this place. read more

Wok Show - The minimal serving is 20 yummy dumplings fried or steamed. - Chinese Near Me - Berlin, BE

Lots of average potstickers for an ok price. They are made fresh, which is nice, but it was hard to distinguish between the three different types that we ordered...and that is sorta gross. But, if you get off on giant portions, then here you go. You should check this restaurant out. That is to say, if you are the type of guy or gal who would say to themselves, "I like seeing a serving of 60 of these dumplings on one plate and it makes me happy," then you will fall in love with this place. On a side note: Why pay extra for frying? Are you trying to keep all the cheap and poor fat people away? Also, it seems as if only Asian people eat here. read more

Very cozy place specialised in Northern China dumpling. LOVE it! We travelled far for this restaurant, it's all worth the efforts! Very friendly staff and huge portion. Authentic taste, I put my Chinese name against is! read more

WOW! I live at this place- cant get enough of their AMAZING dumplings. The fried are my favorite, but dont be fooled by the word 'fried' as they aren't really fried but pan fried. They are just cooked in a pan on one side, so in total 20 dumplings (a standard serving) has about a teaspoon of oil. As every one else suggests, stick to the dumplings, everything else on the menu is just to bulk out the menu; basically everything else isn't great This place has the sweetest dumpling outside of China, the staff are super lovely and friendly and the paintings on the wall are stunning. The artist is a family member with an amazing talent for oil paintings. A homely, family run, unpretentious place with fast service. read more

Just came from it, and yes, sometimes I go all the way from Kreuzberg to Prenzlauer Berg just to eat in there. When I'm in a dumpling mood, oh I love them and They have so many sorts, you can choose, fried or steamed; Let me tell you my favourite one: Pork and Celery, steamed! Perfect to go with a group of friends so you can do the full experience as the smaller portion is 20 uni, 40 uni the biggest, so It's good for sharing, combining ingredients and get to know more than just one taste, and they have that wonderful round table with second surface that you can rotate to get someone else's dish ;) friendly people and English speakers. Price is just perfect! 20uni - 6,50€ 40uni - 12,50€ read more

Really great dumplings here (it seems everyone here orders it). I heard they raised their prices and I did think around €9 is a hefty price for 20 (somewhat small) dumplings but I really did enjoy them and they were very authentic. I also had the kung pao tofu (€10) and it was quite delicious. Overall, the reviews are accurate, I thoroughly enjoyed the food but felt that it was a bit pricey in comparison to other Berlin restaurants. read more

It's a bit of a shlep to this relatively small corner resto, tucked away on the corner of Greifenhagener and Kuglerstrasse, a few blocks north of U / S Schönhauser Allee. But walking is a big part of city life, and one that I relish each time I return for a vacation from the land of motorized travel.... I was also experiencing withdrawals from my hometown haunt, Chopstick Express (http://bitchinberlin.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/chopstick-express-pa-2/) , so I was hoping for a good chili fix. Alas, while Sichuan-style dishes apparently can be ordered off the menu -- i.e. one knows the name of the dish in Chinese or German (which is a double loss for me, as I only know the fairly bad English translation) -- the main attraction are a variety of dumplings, steamed or pan-fried, which are prepared fresh daily. A cucumber salad appetizer could not transport me to the culinary high I so crave, and the specially prepared ma po tofu was galaxies away from "my" hometown dish. A kim-chi-ish appetizer of napa cabbage delivered on the sour & salty front, and the sliced beef was served with a sauce that had hints of peanut in it. At 5.50 EUR / 20 and 10.- EUR / 40 dumplings, this is a very good deal for larger groups of friends, and a VERY tasty one at that. Don't mistake the soy bottles for what they appear to be -- it's a dark vinegar (much tastier than the sodium bomb, anyway). It's a bit of a kicker to find the entry to the restrooms, as both the wall and the door are painted on with a pastoral landscape -- after a few beers (and for your first trip to the loo) it can be a bit confusing. On my way out I saw a dish reminiscent of the awesomeness that is "Diced chicken w/hot peppers", and pleaded the owner to prepare this dish for our next outing. Fingers crossed! FYI, all dumplings are also available frozen for take-out, which makes a delish finger food option for the lazy party host. As for my chili quest, I'm back to square one '-( read more

Easy - delicious & straight forward. Cash only. Reasonably priced/family style plentiful dishes that hit the spot.

i love this place. quiet, unassuming, great dumplings, reasonable price. pick from many varieties including pork and leek, vegetarian, and seafood. you can have them fried or steamed (i recommend a mixture). plenty of nice dipping sauces on the table. there will be little to no english spoken, but just point to anything in the dumpling menu and you will be happy. bring lots of friends. order a hundred assorted dumplings (less than 30 euro). have a great night. read more

Several people recommended this place to me since we moved to Prenzlauerberg about 2 months ago. They told me that the dumplings are really nice, which I can't confirm. I am a big dumplings fan, and I bet anybody who tasted dumplings in China, wouldn't like the dumplings at Wok Show that much. They tasted like my own made at home dumplings. The skin is too thick. Also they have really weird pictures on the wall! read more

Cheap dumplings! And lots of them! Come with a bunch of people, cos it definitely is more economical to order a lot than little. It is very filling. read more

I went here with all of my friends and our German friend ordered everything for us. When the food came out, the orders were completely wrong and she forgot to bring my food. I sat there for an hour without food, asking our waitress multiple times if it was coming. Don't come here read more

The food was average. Prices were decent. But the staff are super inflexible and kind of rude.

Wok Show is my ultimate ace card for anybody who dares to find something local and (literally) hidden away. You should eat here often, as I try to do on a regular basis. Can easily drop a 40 (piece) on vegetarian Jiozi, all season long. Especially prominent is the artwork that adorns the entire place, done by the store patriarch. Cannot confirm nor deny that the inspiration and motivation can be attributed to the hapless matriarch that befits this socialist paradise. Before the Prinzlberg wannabee yuppies infested most of the district, fortunately, this kiez is still keepin it Pankow KaDeWedding stylee. HIGHLY HIGHLY ESSENTIAL. read more

We were perhaps the only non-chinese customers there on a saturday evening and we were very happy to have made a reservation the place was jumping! This was immediately a very very good sign. We were four and ordered wonton soup and a pork appetizer before our large order of 80 dumplings came out. Everything was delicious and the service was fast and efficient. We had heard from others that any other dish on the menu was not worth ordering besides the dumplings. We were not disappointed. I have made Chinese dumplings myself as well as eaten the best in NY's chinatown. While these are not better than fresh homemade dumplings at my house, this is a great find in Berlin. Notice: I only concentrate on the quality of the food. Atmosphere and service usually don't play a huge role in my reviews, unless someone was downright rude, behaved inappropriately or cleanliness was an issue. read more

If you love dumplings and if you want a lot of them, then this place is heaven for you. They offer dumplings with different fillings and you can order either a small or large plate of each taste. The problem is, everything sounds so yummy that you'll always order way more than you can eat. But that's ok, as it tastes just like in China. In addition, the prices are really fair and the service is mostly friendly. read more

Been there yesterday for the first time and it's already one of my favorites. Load of dumplings for every taste, probably 12 different fillings or more, steamed or fried (I had lamb and chinese cabbage, fried, very good, thank you!), and very cheap too. Classic chinese beer. And some other stuff too (I had duck and it was delicious). read more

these are homemade, but they're not Chinese. Perhaps they're better suited to German tastes. The meat is tasteless and there is not enough vegetable. Worst was that I expressly ordered boiled dumplings in Mandarin and was brought oily fried dumplings. The waitress said she brought them because I'd also mentioned that I realized I was ordering a lot of food but wanted leftovers to take home and she thought the fried ones would pack up more easily. But I don't want to eat oily dumplings. read more

This place is very over rated. We sought it out because we love dumplings and saw good reviews online. We consumed 20 lamb dumplings (below average) and 20 pork dumplings (better but still just average) which we ordered mostly to see if we simply ordered poorly. I suppose I'd go if I were invited there but I wouldn't go back. Prices were good at 7.5 Euro for 20 dumplings. 20 dumplings and a beer each will leave you satisfied with enough room for dessert elsewhere. 40 is a lot of dumplings. One last note - both of our orders were boiled. Perhaps we should have tried fried dumplings. read more

Fantastic dumplings at a very reasonable price. Pleasant service, a little slow but it can get crowded. I got the fried vegetarian dumplings. Flavorful filling, thin tender wrappers with a great crispy bottom. A number of sauces at the table rounded out the meal. read more

Their dumplings are to die for. The starters are great too, very authentic. I like their tea selection too. The prices are really good even for Berlin. My husband and I usually order starters + dumplings + tea and eat to our hearts' content and the bill is always around 20 EUR. It's a must for people who love chinese dumplings! read more

How to eat at Wok Show: 1) Assemble a group of people whose excitement over the idea of a dumpling feast is a bigger motivator than flavor. Ideally, they'll be either stoned or hungover. 2) Once you get there, don't be in a hurry. While the kitchen is quite fast, the service is not; your drink orders might arrive in half an hour, along with notification that half of the menu isn't available. If for some reason you want wine, BYO. Trust. 3) Order lots of dumplings. Don't worry, they're cheap, and by the time they arrive you'll be hungry enough to eat the table. No need to deliberate over which fillings to get; they all taste exactly the same, which is to say they don't taste of much at all. Get some fried - the dough really comes alive when it's seared to a crisp, not greasy at all. If you're more into mouth-feel than taste, you'll be polyorgasmic by now. 4) If you were the kind of child who chewed on rubber bands during school lunch, try an order of pig ears. Otherwise, disregard the rest of the menu, which is full of disappointments. 5) You can't be blamed for sneaking in your own dipping-sauce ingredients, as the ones on the table taste slightly rancid. But be discreet, of course! No need to plop a chopping board on the table and embarrass your guests. 6) Still waiting for another drink? Pause and enjoy the random artwork crowded into the walls and obscured by bright direct lights. The decor may not exactly work, but you've gotta hand it to them for trying. read more

so... the food is really great. Flavourful, rich. The dough could be a little thinner but it's ok. I also like the short menu they have. Unfortunately the service is horrible. We were waiting for them to approach us first to get the menus and then to collect our order for approximately 45 minutes! If it was only depending on me, I would have already left the place, especially that there were only 4 other guests. Another annoying thing was that when we ordered all together 6 plates of dumplings they were serving us only 1-2 plates at a time. I would prefer to be served the whole order at the same time... The prices are also higher than before. Around 7 for 20 cooked sumplings and 8 for the fried ones. I am not sure if I will go back mainly because of the service. read more

Good dumplings and good soup. Good quality and quantity for a low price.

Wok show is great Chinese food is hard to find in Berlin and this place was recommended to me by 2 friends who have lived in China. it's a nice treat. The atmosphere is also nice, every time (literally) I have been there, there has been large group of Chinese people eating there. Last time it was a big family (probably 15 adults) and the kids were wandering all over the place much to my and other diners general amusement and entertainment I find this kind of family vibe refreshing (not that I want all restaurants to be like that). There is also this quirky little painting studio in the window and here again I find that brings this sense that you are almost in someone's house. I have sent other friends here to who gave me rave reviews on other non-dumpling dishes they had (duck in particular) so would never hesitate to recommend Wok Show! read more

Came here with a friend last Saturday night. Finally, AUTHENTIC Chinese food in Berlin! Ordered jasmine tea, 20 cabbage dumplings (steamed), cubed tofu in a delicious sauce (I forget the name) and double pan fried chicken. Total flavorgasm and I was stuffed afterward! This place is a must. Be sure to make a reservation, we were rushed out after two hours to make room for people waiting. It was packed. read more

Terrible owner of the restaurant! We ordered dumplings with pork and spinach fillings. But one can neither taste or see any meat in it. So we kindly asked the owner of this restaurant, whether the dish was wrongly served. The old Chinese woman shouted at us: We have our own formula! It's all your problem that you can't see any meat! If you don't like it you just don't come next come! The waitress there are nice. But the owner is really a terrible person. Do not respect customers at all. read more

Nice dumplings at a good price. The main dishes are also pretty good but the portions are a bit on the small side, in fact by Berlin standards they are tiny, servings of rice also too small. Fix the portion size and speed of service and you will get 5 stars from me! read more
