It's hard to find authentic Chinese and good homemade dim sum in Berlin, and I'll say - the food here is legit. In fact, I would go as far as to say that their 鲜虾肠粉 (prawn rice rolls) are the best I've had in the city. Portions are generous and taste is good, though I do feel like they dialed down the level of spice for the clientele. Only thing was that their tea (selection and quality) isn't great which is a shame, as it's such an important accompaniment to dim sum!

Awesome little place!

We were wanting to get Chinese food In Prenzlauer berg, but too lazy to go West Berlin, so we decided to check out this overlooked gem.

Two dishes are more than enough to be satiated, so I would like to come back with a larger group of people so that I can try out more dishes.

It was just meh.
The dim sum was definitely the highlight here. Though it tasted good, I couldn’t justify paying so much for it again. I know it’s house made but there are other dim sum restaurants in Berlin that offer house made dim sum at a lower price point.

We also ordered tofu with 1000-year-old egg and mushroom salad. The egg was cut into tiny pieces and there were less than 10 pieces.
The flavor of both dishes were the same - watery with a dash of chili oil.

There were only 2 guys running around the restaurant so they’re definitely understaff. Don’t expect a good service here.

So no, I wouldn’t recommend going to this place.

Absolutely great place for a slow and tasty Sunday brunch. The brunch menu comes with 3 dishes and tea per person from a wide choice.

The service is a bit slow (gets very crowded and full of a local Chinese community) so prepare in advance.

The dimsum (pretty much all options), radish cakes, pork bao, and rice pancakes are particularly tasty, along with a great warm custard bao for the ideal dessert.

The warm Soja milk with fried dough goes well to wash it all down. They also have a great looking congee (didn't get it this time but definitely on the list for the next visit)!

There's also a lot of great sides to choose from, and I can recommend the beef salat, pig ears, and the chicken feet.

The place is big enough even it’s crowded.
Chinese style brunch -3 choices of dim sum and tea free of charge -16 euros. It’s not cheap at all but the food is tasty.

A bit pricy but would still come next time for dim sum and other types of dishes.

Service is bit slow as has to call the service many times. Dish comes very fast.

Delicious as usual. This time was here for Cantonese Dim Sum brunch. Some Dim Sum were really good. Will come more often.
