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!

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.

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!

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.

The Royal Garden is a bit far from the city center. luckily, they are not so far from the S-Bahn station. It takes about 10 minutes to get to this place from the station on foot. For me, was 30 minutes around got to this place. My firest impression this place after I walked in. I really like how the restuarant looks like. It just got this very traditional and cultural of China in. the nice decoration just made the atmosphere of the whole place even better. It was very classy at the same time. The place was quite full when I was here, well, probably because it was weekend. That was the reason, I have called them before and made a reservation. It didn't take long, to find the table. And the staff come to us really fast. I did find it a bit funny that they only brought us one menu, when we gotlike 10 people. Anyway, we just came for the buffet, so it wasn't a big deal. I check thier cocktails menu and tried the drink. the price of the drinks were alright. the taste was of the cocktail Zombie I ordered was fine. About the buffet, they just looked amazing. one side was the food which already cooked and the other side was the food that not cook yet which people allowed that choose the way they wanted to be done. And the cold dishes like sushi and vergatables. They offered quite a lot options and good one. I found most of the food tasted great. I was so full after couple dishes. They also got an Icecream machine, which to be honest, I didn't really like the icecream. it just full of water and tasted just alright. I also didn't find watermelon at the fruit section. it was kind pity. At the end, I do think it is worth to come here to have a nice meal, even this place wasn't that close to city center. I think, for a big group of people will be a great choice, so everyone could find something they could eat.
