Aroma in Berlin

Für ein spätabendliches Essen ist das Restaurant unsere erste Adresse in Berlin, da die Küche mindestens bis 1:00 geöffnet ist. Das Essen ist gut und der Service freundlich.

The food (dim sum) is authentic and tastes just like in Hong Kong / South China, I was very satisfied with the flavour. However, the prices are bit too high for dim sum in my opinion (around 9.50 € for Ha cao or around 6-7 for three steamed rice rolls).

It's absolutely great that you can eat really well there until 2 a.m., a real restaurant, not a fast food restaurant. The selection of food is large and the service is good. Ambience could be a little better, music etc. but all in all highly recommended if you want something to eat late at night.

I can't recommend it...everything is fine

After getting my drink they left me waiting for food for 40 minutes. After asking multiple times I wanted to leave. They charged me for the meal I never received

Good food with efficient service and exciting atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the food is no longer tasty...it's a shame. Hardly any dish tastes as good as it did back then. Prices are ok.

Chinese restaurant with good and big menu, really delicious and many appetizers you can try.

Favorite place to grab some authentic dim sum in Berlin !!

Chinese food is extremely wonderful. The waiters are also very friendly, unfortunately it's a bit noisy because the restaurant is crowded, but I appreciate all aspects.

They have a Dim sum menu, thats all I want to say

We ordered Wonton noodles and some dim sums. The food is slightly below the average and the service is one of the worst amongst the restaurants that I have been to so far. We asked for a German menu but the waitress was very impatient. When we finished the meal and decided to pay separately with credit cards, the waiter was very impatient as well. We asked nicely if we could divide the payments for some dishes, but the waiter replied impatiently by saying "Just choose the listed dishes that you are going to pay on the receipt!" A very upset experience!

I was hungry in the evening and ordered some beef river. It had wok flavor and was very delicious.

Food is authentic from the Canton/Hong Kong region with dim sum and dinner. I like the turnip cake, fried squid, beef and veggies. Interior is reminiscent of those Hong Kong banquet parlors. One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Berlin

Good food, always open late and always freshly prepared, even at 2:00 a.m

super authentic Cantonese restaurant! always a pleasure every time you visit Berlin.

Since it was acquired, it has become ridiculously expensive

best dim sum in Berlin. good pork ribs and chicken feet. special recommendation on dimsum card d14. always a special treat. update September 2024: More expensive and somewhat worse after changing operator. Dim sum is still recommended. Service has become worse and even more tables have been squeezed into the narrow space, which means that the previous pleasant atmosphere is lost. Conclusion only 4 stars

Service is mediocre. Food is descent.

My second time here, and both times were average. Maybe I didn't have a good knack for the right dishes. The map is long, it's definitely worth trying again.

Delicious regular customer for 10 years

I came across this restaurant by chance and even as someone who values ​​quality, I think the taste here is really excellent. There are some very tasty Cantonese dishes that you should definitely try in Australia. Particularly noteworthy is the excellent service, which is very attentive and careful. I recommend visiting the restaurant when it is less busy.”

Two streets apart, Friends and God of Wealth have vastly different services! Fried bananas and ice cream are so delicious that they burst!

This is an interesting store. It looks kinda tacky from the outside but the food here is sorta authentic. Why sorta? Because its sorta a mix of all the popular Asian cuisines. And since they offer a lot of choice the taste is sorta same-ey because the base sauces are sorta the same. Lots of foreigners eating there too so that's a generally a good sign for a non gentrified authentic experience. Generally tho i did enjoy the experience. Would go here if youre looking for an authentic chinese experience. Tho as I said they offer all kinds of asian stuff.

Good food and good service. You guys are on your toes!

I don't come here anymore. Hectic and not very friendly service. Food really wasn't great. We had different dishes and tasted almost identical... Sour hot soup was terrible.

I've been eating at this restaurant for over 14 years, with many memories of friends and family there! However, the last time I visited, it was completely different. The food is no longer the same, and it's more expensive. The deep-fried food was particularly bad—the oil tasted old and smelled terrible. The shrimps complete black and full of old oil !. Also the dim sum taste very sweet!!! I even had stomach pain the next day. Since the ownership changed, it's just not like it used to be. I’ll miss this place...

I had dinner there with my boyfriend yesterday, we both had extreme stomach pains afterwards and today we're just sitting on the toilet. When the food came, the meat smelled so bad that we didn't even eat much of it. Just terrible please people spend your money somewhere else we paid €55 for food that didn't even taste good. We told the waitress that something was wrong with the meat and then suddenly she couldn't speak German anymore. First and last time!

Wrong food served, very unfriendly waiters, cold food served, without knife. Definitely not recommended. I am very disappointed

The food is large and tastes good

enjoy your meal. Delicious. Worth a visit every time.

Returned after six years, and the quality of food is still the same. Really love the dim sum and the salt and pepper tofu was delicious. The beef ho fun was a bit too greasy so I couldn’t eat too much of it but it’s usually known to be greasy.

I visit this restaurant regularly. But today I found a string-like object in the dim sum I ordered and reported the problem to a staff member. However, the employee reacted as if it wasn't her problem and behaved extremely rudely. I would have settled for a sincere apology and eaten the new dim sum. Instead, the employee sarcastically asked if he should get on his knees. I was really speechless and very angry about this employee's unfriendly behavior. Even as I write this review, many people will still visit this excellent restaurant. Nevertheless, I think that such an employee has no place in such a good restaurant.

Comida cantonesa de calidad y decoración correspondiente. Pedí pato y recibí una porción enorme, de buena calidad y bien cocinado. La orden de bebidas se confundió pero lo arreglaron. Personal muy ocupado y obviamente trabajando muy duro. En general, una noche muy agradable.

I've been a regular since it opened, unfortunately there seems to have been a change of operator a few months ago. In addition to dim sum, we ordered a few beers and three main courses. The beer was warm, which the waiter knew, but it was still served and charged in full The three main courses were all poor: Instead of grilled pork belly, pork fillet was delivered, which was complained about, but was only taken back after a pointless discussion. The second dish was water spinach, which was served completely unseasoned. We were informed that there are now different varieties of water spinach, which, however, are incorrectly translated (according to the waiter): Instead of water spinach with fermented tofu, only fermented tofu is on the menu. Completely incomprehensible. There was then a hair in the third dish. The service manager discussed the water spinach for a long time before finally rudely taking the main courses off the bill. Additionally, the service manager touched our three-month-old baby without asking, which is inappropriate. The disabled toilet is used as a storage room and is therefore unusable. This was my last visit to Aroma, having left well over €10,000 there over the last few decades. I will also share my experience with my friends.

What is the restaurant 30 minutes away and none was there for us, we prefer to eat somewhere else.

After singing, I still want to eat the God of Wealth. My favorites are salt and pepper duck tongue, salt and pepper pork ribs, and Kyoto fried large intestine.

Very nice waiters and delicious food

Coming from Vancouver, the food here reminded me very much of the typical offerings we are used to seeing. I came for dinner, and everything we had was delicious. Will need to come back for the dim sum soon!

Food and service, as always, everything was great. Would love to come back

Aroma is the place to go for a late night bite, the place to be hungover and eat directly when they open, the “what should we have for dinner I don’t want to pick” answer, it’s 2 a.m and you’re drunk dinner solution- it’s the best. You cannot do wrong. From dim-sum to veggies to mains to soups, explore as much as you want- you cannot do wrong. 10292728 out of 10.

Des plats moyens, sans saveur particulière, sans grande originalité, avec beaucoup de sel et un service moyen (il est toujours plus agréable que les deux personnes soient servies à peu près en même temps, avec tous les éléments commandés).

Arriving to dine alone I was quickly shown to a table and was given a menu. After a few minutes a server took my order of a drink and a main course. I then waited 40 minutes for my food. At one point I was asked to confirm my order but no explanation for the wait was given. At the 40 minute mark I signaled to the waiter who just said from a distance "it's coming" and then went and got my food. Keep in mind at least one table who arrived after me got food in this time. When the food arrived I asked if it was normal that it took 40 minutes and was told "the kitchen is really busy". Looking around the restaurant I estimate it was less than half full, the server noticing me looking to see how full the place was said "there are a lot of takeout orders". Obviously I don't know if that was true. The food itself was average for Chinese food. The cost was low but the slow service and no attempt to help for a longer than expected wait was disappointing. I wouldn't go here again.

I wasn't impressed, everything was very greasy. Yesterday was a second attempt: the restaurant was empty but we had to wait forever for the waiter three times.

Best Chinese restaurant in Berlin!

Best Chinese I’ve had in a while and definitely best meal in Berlin! Glad we tried it :) Service was understandably a bit slow as the restaurant was quite busy, but everyone was super kind and do their best to overcome the language barrier as we unfortunately can’t speak German. Also, it would be good to put a tap on the little chilli oil pots on the table, just for general hygiene. Only thing I was not sure about regarding what I ate was the fried duck: good, but a little bit overcooked. Do order the soups if you go there: the broth is just sensational!! We’ll definitely visit again next time we’ll be in Berlin :)

I would like to write a short review about a wonderful service employee in the restaurant. She was incredibly friendly and accommodating. From the moment I entered the restaurant I was warmly greeted. Their service was outstanding throughout my entire visit. She was attentive and always made sure I felt comfortable. Thank you for the great service! Employees like this are a real treasure.

Always nice here and the food is good 😋 Service is also top 👍🏻

Tiniest portion of Peking duck for 45€ - robbery!

Delicious, recommend the Zhuhou beef brisket

How can the boss sleep while this kind of product is still open😭😭😭The skin of the shrimp dumplings is steamed into a ball and the stir-fried beef river noodles are as thick as crispy roasted pork skin...I haven't eaten them anywhere. After living in such a bad Berlin, I really want to thank you for letting me have a terrible first meal here.

Great food + nice service. And the prices are absolutely acceptable The local Dim Sum is also worth the price

Very Cantonese style decoration! The style is like the scene when Li Xiaojun got married in Sweet Honey! The taste is very Cantonese! Flying from Barcelona you won’t be disappointed!

The dry fried beef river is great! !

The food is delicious and the food is served very quickly, but there is a stupid man with vitiligo in the store who has a very bad attitude. Maybe he has been cuckolded by his wife, or maybe he can't find a wife at all. Anyway, he looks disgusting. , the temper is still bad! But another slightly older waiter (probably from the north) has a very good service attitude. If it weren't for this big brother with a good service attitude, I would definitely give it one star! (Sorry, Big Brother from the North) I feel sorry for you to have such a pig teammate!

Very delicious and attentive service

Update 06/2024: I gave the flavor another chance and I'm glad I did. The food is very good again and some old dishes are back on the menu. Many of the new dishes are extremely good! We're coming back now :) Update 03/2024: Unfortunately, after the change of operator, a lot of good dishes were removed from the menu and changed. Unfortunately so much that we won't be coming back. After more than 15 years, it's unfortunately over. The staff is still great and very friendly! Very good! My favorite place for years! :D Recommended: D15 (chicken feet), 3 (wonton soup), 52 (Hong Kong duck). The staff is very friendly and accommodating, even special requests are always fulfilled. We feel very comfortable there and come regularly.

The boss is super nice and his service attitude is great Beef brisket pot, sausage, and carrot cake are recommended

The food was ok. But the employee was very unfriendly.

The food tastes very good, doesn't take too long, but the starters all came after the main course. The ambience is nice and chilled, the lighting creates a warm atmosphere. The service is very friendly and I give it 4 stars because the waiter called me “Brotha”.

I have been visiting this place since 2020 and was once very delighted to have a place in Berlin for Dim Sum. However, it comes to my great disappointment in the recent visits in May 2024 as well as yesterday. The Dim Sum was badly made now, maybe the 蝦餃/腸粉 is still edible but are also way overpriced. Other Dim Sum including 鮮竹牛肉 the meat was so dry. 鳳爪way too salty. Even before its owner changed to Ming recently, the 咸水角was overdone even deep fried. 晚飯小菜were also badly done. Even the 白飯 let alone not using Jasmine rice, within a bowl you can find some part super wet while other parts so dry that you can hardly chew. Many disappointments cannot be listed all out here. I have impression that they don't care about the taste of the food so much more (I am not even demanding for authenticity). It is not the first time I heard the service was not good and it was again validated by the request of payment was acknowledged but deliberately ignored by multiple of staff wearing poker faces. Overall, their price increased but food quality decreased and I feel regret to have brought my friends there to try indeed.

The staff are very friendly. The stir-fried beef, river plums and vegetables are delicious. It’s great for late night snacks.

Great dim sum! Very authentic...

I am Cantonese, the food is authentic and tasty in this restaurant. There is still some room for improvement in rice.

Soo good ! Original taste of china 👌👌

still, one of the better dim sum places in berlin without “heck meck” — though quality used to be even better 10 years ago reco all the steamed classic ones (ha cao, xiu mai) and the wantan soup with noodles quick service staff — can be nicer at times old china resto vibe — love it or leave it

Delicious Hong Kong dim sum and barbecued pork👍

Food wasn't tasty. But service was quite nice

Eating escalation at 2:30 a.m., no problem at all. The colleagues were so nice and let us all eat in peace. The dude next to us at the table took a nap for a good half hour before he was sent home. And the food is absolutely phenomenal. It's a great experience, especially for late night food carving after drinking

the best Chinese restaurant for me, nice people, delicious food.

Clear 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Aroma is hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant in Berlin! The wide selection on the menu ensures there's something for everyone, and almost everything I've tried tastes solid and authentic. The water spinach and morning glory are always fresh and perfectly seasoned, adding a delightful crunch to my meal. But the real star for me is the grilled pig belly – it's a must-do on every visit, with its tender, juicy texture and incredible flavor. 🥘 The ambiance is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive, making every dining experience a pleasure. Whether you're craving classic dishes or looking to try something new, Aroma never disappoints. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for a top-notch Chinese dining experience in Berlin. Love the food!! 🍱 Enjoy your next visit to Aroma! 🔥🤙🏽

Place has gone down hill and the prices have gone up, food had no flavour ingredients of low quality beer was flat and warm and way overpriced even if it was good Chinese food.

Very good food, attentive staff and quick service 👍 highly recommended.

I tried 1001 delicious eggs for the first time #101.🪼,,❤️. #D3 is very juicy .👍 Very tasty thank you🫶.

The poor service attitude really deserves its reputation.

Solid Cantonese, worn interior, adequate service.

It's really delicious! We especially recommend the cold jellyfish! It's convenient that it's open until late at night.

It was very tasty and tasty, I will definitely eat there again

I was very disappointed with my experience at AROMA on Sunday 5.5.2024 I order the Beef/Noddle soup for 13,50€. There was a piece of hard plastic in my Beef/Noddle Soup, which I nearly swallowed. I went directly to the waiter and informed him. He left me waiting 15mins. then he came back without a glass of water. No apologies,nothing! That is no way to treat customers. I have informed the Berlin Health Agency.

It’s very delicious. The rice dumplings from Italy were so delicious that I was moved to tears. Highly recommended. The service is also very good and very affordable.

A good dining experience, the taste is good and the boss is also very nice

Very delicious, certified by old Cantonese people. I have never had such delicious Chinese food in Italy. It is worthy of Berlin. My friends in Rome were moved to tears.

Having traveled around Guangdong Province in China and tasting all the great Cantonese food there I have to say the food in this restaurant is authentic but average at best. Service is ok and didn’t expected much from it but I was disappointed from the food after all the recommendations. Prices are not in line with the food level but I guess these are justified by the location.

So the restaurant is definitely not what it used to be. The service staff are not particularly friendly, rather scheduled and really slow. The wonton soup was really good, as was the fried chicken with vegetables, but the H5 menu was really bad. The breading wasn't done well, the pineapple pieces under the meat are incomprehensible and the sweet and sour sauce was definitely not a sweet and sour sauce. It was more ketchup with starch and you can actually smell it straight away. It was also outrageous that the menu H5 arrived first and you actually waited for the other main course 20! Had to wait minutes. The rice is no longer as tasty as it was back then. The rice wasn't really warm when it arrived at our table either. When we wanted to pay, we actually had to wait another 10 minutes until someone came to give us the receipt. All in all, unfortunately no longer recommended, it's a shame.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated greatly. The rice was very hard today, as if it wasn't cooked properly. We ordered the D4 twice. One portion was charred, black...it's a disgrace that we were served that, especially next to the other portion of D4, which came properly prepared. Tripe was very bland today. Tofu with salt and pepper no longer looked fresh when served, but this was confirmed when I ate it. All in all a very disappointing experience today. The 3 stars are still there because otherwise it was good, today one star would be too many. At Aroma, waiters work in areas. Everyone has their area. There are some nice and funny waiters there, but also some unfriendly ones. You have to be lucky where you sit. ****Update April 2024 ***** Were in the aroma again and it's not just the red lanterns on the ceiling that are new. The food was very good this time. Everything was beautifully presented and well seasoned. Only the duck was too floury and dry. Otherwise everything was super delicious. If it stays that way, the aroma will have earned 5 stars again.

The chicken feet and rice rolls are really delicious, the pork ribs and barbecued pork buns are also good, and the dry-fried beef river meat is a bit salty. At that time, the waiter also said that the card machine was broken and could not swipe cards, but we had no cash, so he said that we could swipe cards...

Delicious, authentic Cantonese food; highlight being the homemade dim sum. Only downside: the price for the quantities, €80 for 2 (we didn't eat any Rice)

I thought it was great! Gladly again 👌

Enter was very crispy. Not a bit gritty, oily. About the dim sum: dough nice and soft, filling not lumpy, Next time I will try the duck feet. 🧏‍♂️😬

Typical Chinese restaurant in City-West. Authentic cuisine with decent portions. Service can be a bit rough at times, but friendly. Drinks are always served quickly, even though the place is packed. The dishes are awesome. We'd love to come back. Be sure to reserve in advance. Keep it up.

Kind of okay. The map is a bit confusing and confusing, but in principle it offers a large selection. The food comes really quickly and the service was friendly. I didn't really find it to taste particularly special - almost a bit bland. The general impression of the restaurant is inviting. But it was surprisingly uncomfortably warm. (At an outside temperature of 18 degrees)

Came in the afternoon, the dining environment was very good. The meals are affordable and taste great.

Good food, mediocre service, ambience could do with a thorough cleaning

The soup was delicious, the place was also very nice, the only negative was the fried rice with prawns as the rice didn't have much color or taste, the prawns seemed to be pre-cooked and for 20 euros the portion was really very small.

Although we didn't reserve, we got a table for 9 people even though it was very busy. Food was very good. We all enjoyed it very much. We would go there again next time in Berlin.

Amazing and attentive service I feel very welcome and home ☺️ Atmosphere is cozy and traditional which i appreciate since there are more modern interior nowadays Food is also very authentic and tasty Def will come again!! ❣️

Very authentic Chinese restaurant. We were shown to a table after just 5 minutes without a reservation. The menu is very varied and the prices are OK too.

This is a bastard restaurant. Every time I buy takeout, I always pay less because the waiter uses handwritten paper. Today I bought a takeout for more than 80 euros. Among them, there were four portions of radish and I was only given one portion, 𣎴 Do you know this is a waiter's trick? Because the bill is written by hand, I hope others will check it when they go to eat. Every time I go home, I see that the food has been stolen again.

Very good food and great service. We finally found our regular Chinese friend in Berlin.

Update 2024: The aroma has had a change of ownership, which means that many dishes have seemingly been arbitrarily removed from the menu or changed in a pointless manner. We have been visiting Aroma for so many years and now unfortunately we no longer feel the need to come back. Our daughter loved the wonton soup, but that was also canceled. At least the waiters remained the same (still), which gave us some comfort. It's really a shame and sad. We go there at least once a week. It tastes incredibly good, the service is without exception polite and friendly and we have NEVER had an incident in the long time we have been going there!
