Dan's Dim Sum

5 Francesco Bianchi (Taliesin) - 5 months ago

Very light and relaxing atmosphere in this modern restaurant. Dim sums are the specialty, of course and they come in many different varieties (lots of choices for vegetarians and vegans too). Noodles and stir fry options are also available. Everything we tried tasted great!

I really wanted to like this place, and I’m sad to say that several of the previous reviewers were correct. The lady who runs (owns?) this place was not very friendly, even though we were the ONLY (!!!) customers at 7pm (19:00). A few more people came in later and she finally put On some music once there were more present, not sure why; it was eerily quiet before that. The food was also just a solid 3 for me, and I don’t think worthy of the average 4.2 stars it’s been given over the few hundred reviews, certainly not 5. We ordered 7 different dim sum items from the menu. I was looking forward to the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) but they were small and had virtually no soup in them. The remaining dumplings were just ok; but several of them had an odd taste to me, a little funky, but not in a good way. Try at your own risk. While not terrible, I wouldn’t recommend it or go back.

If you read through the reviews, you'll notice they seems to provoke stark opinions. I love such places that polarize the opinions of customers.

While I've only visited here once, my experience was extremely positive one. I had the homemade noodle soup and pork buns. Delicately flavourful broth with handmade chewy noodles. Clean flavours that have almost a homely quality to it.

The service here, while may come across as a bit dry, to me maintains the feel of no BS that reflects in the food and the flavours. I felt like I was dining at some aunt's place who shows care through food, not with demeanor.

Give it a try with an open mind and you may be surprised.

Great food that isn't just a bad copy paste of what is popular. Some great dishes: noodle soups with a light flavorful broth, a crunchy on the outside - pillowy soft on the inside tofu (no.46), tasty slighlty spicy fried noodles with chicken and shrimp (no. 44), warming chicken curry (32) and beef stir fry (33), beef with glass noodles and bamboo (41) a dish common in Asia and rare in the west, a "broad rice noodle" stir fry with beef (53), and more! I will often grab a dimsum dish to share as well like the hearty rice wraps (D5). One feedback would be their consistency, they definitely have a few bad days where the food is lacking.

It’s ridiculous. I’m still shaking from my experience there. I speak English to the owner, as I am not sure if she speaks Chinese or not and I don’t speak German. I tell her that I’m waiting for a friend to come and ask for the WiFi password for working on my laptop for a bit until he comes. I had a hard time accessing the WiFi and I think the lady (the owner?) deliberately turned off the internet. After sitting there for 15 minutes, she came to me and tell me “we are not gonna treat you tonight”. This is all outrageous and I can’t expect to be treated like this by a fellow Chinese abroad (which is a shame) and she is very entitled to “educate people” — she said speaking English is not enough you need to have manners. Berlin is certainly not famous for its service. But the rudeness at a middle-class neighborhood like this is sth unexpected. It seems that it’s not the first time that the owner was complained from what I have read on google. Def try to avoid it !

The dim sum are great and you can also order noodles and some salads if you want. You’ll find a nice selection of teas for 2-3€, finally a place where they won’t overcharge you for drinks in Berlin! ???? fair prices, clean place and nice staff
