Ming Dynastie West Berlin

It is in effect a corner of China in the middle of Berlin. We came in without a reservation and had to wait a while, but not much. There has been a line for the whole time we have stayed there and it is understandable, since the restaurant is quite nice and the food is even better. The customers were 90% Asians and that was enough to understand the authenticity of their food. Extremely recommended, will come again if in Berlin.

We recently dined at a local spot that offered a distinctly Chinese ambiance, adding a pleasant and authentic touch to our experience. Our meal selections included M7 (crispy fried duck with sweet and sour sauce) and E1 (crispy fried duck with eight delicacies). Contrary to the waiter's suggestion that our choices might not be enough for two, we found the portions to be generous. M7, featuring an out-of-this-world sweet and sour sauce, was enough for one person, while E1 could have comfortably fed two or even three.

The quality of the food was top-notch. The M7's duck was cooked to perfection, and the sweet and sour sauce was simply divine. The E1, meanwhile, impressed us with properly done shrimps and the intriguing flavors of the eight delicacies.

A minor hiccup in the service was the provision of cutlery without being asked, while other guests were given chopsticks. Though not a complaint, a query about our preference would have been a nice touch.

When we found ourselves unable to finish the ample servings, a different waiter graciously provided paper boxes for us to take the leftovers home, at no extra charge.

All in all, the delightful and very Chinese-looking setting, the delicious food, and the mostly attentive service made for a memorable dining experience. Don't be swayed by the waiter's portion warnings; trust your instincts and your appetite, and you're likely to leave satisfied. We'll certainly be returning to explore more of this establishment's offerings.

I had an overall good dining experience at this Chinese restaurant. The crispy fried duck with sweet and sour sauce and crispy fried duck with eight delicacies were both flavorful and the portions were huge. At the start, the waiter warned me that crispy fried duck with sweet and sour sauce was a really small portion, but it was more than enough.

One thing that bothered me a bit was when the waiter brought cutlery without inquiry, unlike chopsticks provided to other guests. While not a huge deal, asking about our preference would have been a thoughtful gesture.

I should mention that the prices were a little high, but that is quite fine as we couldn't finish our meal from how large the portions are. A waiter offered paper boxes for us to take the leftovers home, at no additional cost, so that was really kind of them.

Don't let the waiters warning fool you, the portions are quite generous. The food itself was quite enjoyable, and the staff was understanding and accommodating when we needed them to communicate in English. Overall, a satisfying experience that I would recommend to others seeking a flavorful Chinese meal.

Service was good. The soup was tasty. But I can’t rate more than 3 stars for the dish I ordered. It was fried beef with onions. I didn’t understand either by taste or by appearance that it was beef.

The location is very good, just opposite the zoo, very convenient. I highly recommend their signature dish - Mao Xue Wang, the portion is large and the flavor is very fragrant and spicy. In addition, their soup dumpling is very melt-in-your-mouth, and Rice noodle with beef (a type of noodle dish) is also very delicious. The service of the waiters is very thoughtful, which makes people feel satisfied.

Ordered Sichuan boiled fish & chicken w/ Sichuan pepper. Both dishes were delicious!
Friendly & attentive service.
Will definitely come back and try more from their menu.

The food is very good, significantly better than their other restaurant in Mitte.
The location, on the out side, is much less charming as it's inside a commercial center and e.g. the toilet is the one of the center.
Portions are generous but prices are at restaurant level, a bit too high considering it's a commercial center.
I'd recommend it for a tasty Chinese meal.

Authentic Chinese food
They specialized in spicy food. It tastes very good. The serving is very efficient and friendly.
We like especially 毛血旺 and 干鍋肥腸. They are kids friendly offering kid chair and they prioritize kids food, serving really fast.

However, it was a bit warm at where we sat so we were sweaty. It’s a pity that it’s quite loud there so quite different to chat. Otherwise, it’s a good restaurant with good food.
