I walked by this place in the morning before lunch, the smell of savory magic floating out the door - and yes. You need to eat here. Vegan friendly - I had a spicy bowl of noodles that was packed with flavor and they were kind enough to serve me fairly close to closing time also. This is an excellent place to enjoy!
I am actually from Munich, therefore sadly not often in Berlin, but when I am in Berlin visiting chaomin is a MUST-have. They are maybe the only restaurant in Germany that serves Liangpi (famous Chinese cold noodles). My recommendation: Order Liangpi together with "roujiamo", that's the Chinese way to eat it. The warm roijiamo (meat buns) pair perfectly with the cold refreshing Liangpi. If you have trouble ask the staff. They are very friendly and speak English/German/Chinese.
I have been ordering food from there for months. They never disappoint, a real highlight after a hard day. The food is delicious. I am planning to go there with some friends next time 🥰
