Cha for Tee in Berlin

Great place with a lovely staff.

Such a sweet shop and the sweetest owner ever! I have rarely felt so well looked after, our tea was constantly refilled with hot water <3 Not to mention the really SUPER delicious dumplings, which are all shaped and filled differently. We tested the vegetarian options once and everything was great. We particularly recommend the dessert (dumplings coated with coconut and sesame filling), to melt into! Absolute recommendation and gladly again!!

I'm thrilled and can only recommend everyone to come along. The food was super tasty, there wasn't anything that wasn't tasty. We had all starters, main courses and desserts. In addition, I haven't had such attentive and friendly service as here in a long time. 10/10, would love to come back because you just feel good. 😊

Very nice service, good food and very nice atmosphere. I fully recommend to come!

This was my first time getting dimsum with friends, one of which has a food blog and can be picky. Everything was delicious, get tea and a light dessert!

Fortbildungstechnisch hat es mich wieder einmal nach Berlin gezogen, und nach einem Besuch auf geschichtsträchtigen Tempelhofer Feld landete ich zu einem Abendsnack im Cha for Tee- Ein kleiner offenbar inhaberbetriebener Laden mit sehr freundlichen Gastgebern und einer wirklich guten chinesischen Küche. Ich hatte lediglich 2 Kleinigkeiten, scharfes Rindfkeisch sowie marinierte Gurken, beide jedoch hervorragend. Scharf ist scharf, so habe ich das gerne. Es gibt eine kleine Auswahl an guten Bieren und dazu eben die sehr freundlichen Gastgeber. Macht in der Summe 5 Sterne, gerne wieder!

In terms of further training, I was once again drawn to Berlin, and after a visit to the historic Tempelhofer Feld, I ended up having an evening snack at Cha for Tee - a small, apparently owner-operated shop with very friendly hosts and really good Chinese cuisine. I only had 2 small things, spicy beef and marinated cucumbers, both of which were excellent. Hot is hot, that's how I like it. There is a small selection of good beers and the very friendly hosts. All in all, 5 stars, gladly again!

Small but nice shop. I love it.

Very nice shop with a small menu, where the starters like chicken with chili oil are also great.

Super tasty dim sum! I felt like I was on vacation. I'd love to come back

Felt like being home! The owners are really down-to-earth nice people and the food was really good. Packed with flavour and a healthy dose of umami. I recommend getting all the vegan stuff!

Fantastic dumplings and food in general and reasonably priced. Very friendly service.

The owners are very friendly and the food we ate was really delicious. Thanks to a truly particular neighborhood, the fireworks that "arrived" from Tempelhof and an evening that still had a lot of summer and little of autumn, we spent a splendid evening

I was longing for great dim sums for a very long time... Cha for Tee delivered! We only had vegan options, but they were delicate and full of flavour! The "Cha for Tee special" ice tee is a must :) on top of that, the service was super nice. Xie xie!

If you are looking for authentic homemade dim-sum in Berlin, this is the place. We always love and enjoy the food here!

Super nice restaurant owners!! Great place!

Best dimsum place in Berlin! All the dumplings were made fresh

Dim Sum: diverse, colorful, handmade, fresh and delicious! Also the vegan versions. And the service was warm and attentive! Xie Xie!

Such a lovely place and delicious dumplings!

Fantastic food and great service! Any time!

Best dumplings place in Berlin so far 🥟 in Berlin It's been really good the all experience Thanks

Best dumplings i’ve ever had, the hosts are incredibly kind. Got this place recommended by a friend, best recommendation ever!

This restaurant is really excellent, the interior is super pretty. The atmosphere is warm and the service is top notch. The ravioli are really really good and thin. I recommend 2000%!!!

A lovely spot, serving dim sum 🥟 also two gluten free. The service really kind and attentive. The food ok.

Handmade fresh dumplings, no frozen goods, no fast food.

Very tasty food and great service.

Very tasty dumplings and the best service in all of Berlin!

Super delicious dim sum in good price. Super friendly owner🥰 as an Asian person I approve it’s authentic good food.

The service is incomparable to all other restaurants in Berlin! Super nice team, very accommodating and delicious food for a fair price on top of that! Always my pleasure:)

Dumplings are amazing! Service is great and friendly. Best place I’ve found in Berlin. My all time favorites: K5, F1, F3, F4, F7, D2.

An absolutely lovely woman who served us. The food was very tasty, many different dumping variants, you couldn't decide!

Best dumplings I’ve ever had, all handmade and fresh. Great service and atmosphere

Det bedste sted at for dumplings i Berlin! God betjening og vi kommer helt sikkert tilbage når vi er i Berlin ❤️ Kan anbefale og slutte af med te ☀️

Dumplings were absolutely delicious ! Best service in Berlin 🙏

Very delicious Dumblings with the most friendly owner. I will definietly come back!

Top service! Super friendly and attentive innkeepers, fast service and excellent food! This store is a clear recommendation and clearly deserves more than 5 stars!

100% handmade dumplings by the most welcoming wonder ❤️ Four of us pretty much tried everything on the menu, highly recommend the sweet bum with salty egg york and chilli oil wonton.

All dim sums are made by hand! The boss lady is so cute 🥰

Delicious!! Wonderful service. There is a special tea that you should definitely try.

This place offers a wide variety of dumplings with great service. We tried both vegetarian and non-veg options, and everything tasted amazing. If you love seaweed, I highly recommend trying their seaweed salad. The prices are also reasonable.

Super tasty, nice service! Gladly again 😃

This mom and pop joint serves authentic homey food. The owner is super sweet and from HK. My favourite dishes were the wonton, pickled cucumber. Definitely coming back soon

Good presentation of the dumplings, they come in different colours, with a big selection. I tried three different types, they tasted pretty much the same. Everything was average.

Such a nice surprise and great customer service. Seems like a family business with the staff being extremely friendly and sweet. The food is great and overall a great experience.

The sweetest owner - opened it earlier for us, served an extra piece everywhere because there were five of us. The wontons and F5 are to die for!

Super tasty, very fresh and a great selection. The service on site is also very nice. Gladly again!

I was searching a good damplings restaurant in Berlin, I was lucky to find this restaurant, I have been to China many times before, the food quality and taste is better than what I had in China, price/quality is very good, I really recommend it

A beautiful restaurant, great food and very very good and friendly service! Definitely coming back!

At first it looks modest and somewhat peculiar, but once you bite in the dumplings you just melt into your seat with delight. We tried all vegan dumplings and each one was better than the other. Prices are fair, even borderline cheap. Service is great and the neighborhood is absolutely lovely. What an amazing hidden gem

So nice food and authentic dim sum, wonderful service and a really cozy place. Loved the night! They also gave us some starters for free since we were quite a big company.

Amazing service, such a lovely lady working the front. The food was amazing as well, I recommend V6 especially. Definitely the best restaurant we visited in Berlin

Wonderful experience here with my friends: we tried ALL the vegan dumplings and got a second round of our favourites. Highly recommend any group big enough to do the same. The appetizers are also remarkable- the sour potato stood out to me. 10/10 is the service by the owner, a very friendly woman passionate of taking care of her guests! I will be coming back and hope you get to experience her hospitality!

Very great service. Were very nice. The food/dumplimg were really tasty and they were available in a variety of variations. Really recommended 😊

Were on the way to a concert in the Columbiahalle - and of course we needed something in our stomachs. Because of the good reviews, we stopped at Cha for Tee. We had three different starters. We had dumplings with vegetarian filling (very tasty), baos (very doughy) and edamame - lots of them. There were over 30 pods in one portion. More than you get in comparable restaurants for the price. The soy sauce served with it was somehow stretched. Wasn't mine. But overall a nice stay.

I wish my mom could cook like that....amazing baos!

Very very tasty food! Very fresh and varied. The homemade teas are also fantastic. Not to forget the extremely warm service. We will be back!

Super good, small, authentically tasty and super nice service

Outstanding dumplings and service that is second to none. Xixie!

Loved having dinner here 🥰 dumplings were delicious and fairly priced, but honestly the best part was how welcoming and friendly the team at Cha for Tee were, it felt so cozy and homey! Definitely coming back.

Highly recommended!! We were on a city trip to Berlin for a week and went back twice because it was so delicious! You have as many vegetarian options as meat options for a very good price. The lady serving was super friendly and attentive, and at the end gave us a bowl of grapes and mandarin oranges from the house. It is really worth it and one of the tastiest things we have eaten in Berlin. We will definitely come back!

The owner is really friendly and the dim sum is really delicious! Unlike the dim sum I usually eat, shaumai is chewy and delicious because it contains glutinous rice, but it has a bit of a shiitake mushroom flavor, so I think your taste will differ. The jasmine tea also has a great scent without any bitterness!!

Everything is great here, service,food and price!

The best dumplings and nicest owners ❤️

The best dumplings in Berlin. Love the place!

The service here is really really good and so kind. I love the dumplings here and we can also choose vegan dumplings!!

Was super tasty!! F4 and F6 are highly recommended.

I am so happy about all the nice dimsum spots popping up in Berlin in the last few years. Many of them serve a selection of fresh, home-made dumplings that can also be enjoyed by Asians (meaning: they are not totally made for people who are new to Asian food, while repetitively drowning in overpowering peanut/coconut sauce). I don't know why I haven't been to Cha for Tea before. They serve a modern mix of fresh made vegan and meat dumplings and also have a small list of starters. And they have a nice list of tea variations, which tastes great! It is all served by the most friendly and welcoming lady who makes sure everything is perfect for our entire stay in the restaurant. She was caring for us, making us feel comfortable when we finished eating and were still hanging out to drink some more tea. I totally recommend this place for their hospitality and their delicious modern, fresh made dimsum selection, with also exciting vegetarian options.

Warm, lovely host and delicious (very hot!) dumplings. A gem 💎

Incredible find in Berlin the food was super good and fresh and the owner was ultra nice and accommodating! Quite rare to be treated so well in Berlin… the starters were great and the black dumpling was my favorite like the custard bun

Best pork in oil and chili! The noodle is so good like velvet

Very tasty, the portion is large but with a fair price :)

I want to start by saying this place has a wonderful atmosphere and customer service! However this place does not serve authentic Chinese food. Ordered more than 6 various dumplings and found them to be underwhelming and bland. Was really disappointed, especially because they looked so delicious!

Amazing food and service. Love the atmosphere too. Coming back for more!

Very delicious food, the lady boss is super friendly, serving food and caring. Foods are AMAZING, dumplings are the best, they have many choices of dumplings, we tried the vegetarian version and it tasted super good! Highly recommend!😋

Super herzliche Gastwirtin, absolut unvergleichlich guter Service & bombastisch fantastische unbegreiflich hervorragende Dim Sum (und Eistee!). Die Weintrauben zum Nachtisch waren ein Traum. Sehr gemütliches Lokal mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail und entspannter Atmosphäre. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Super tasty and affordable food, probably the best dim sums in town! My friend from Hong Kong was in love with it and he can vouch that it is truly authentic :) you should defo try the dessert with egg yolk custard, WOW! You feel welcomed and looked after! Thank youuuu

I’m sorry for putting a review without even receiving my food, but I’m sorry for nothing. Cuz I already knew that this place is gonna be bomb from the decors and the service. I feel like home[edit] follow up: I know I’m right. Food here is crazy good. Custard bun and siu mai are a must do

Bang on! Try everything, it's a great time

Great variety of dumplings, ideal for sharing with a group. Ample of vegetarian options as well. My favorite though was the one with chicken. I also loved their bao buns. It's run by an old lady, she's very warm. You'll get homely vibes here. They only accept cash payment.

Food really wasn't great for the price, really wanted to like this place since the concept is great.

I simply love this place! Dumplings are just amazing and the lady who usually work there (who I believe is the owner) is lovely and takes great care of the customers. Highly recommended 🥟🥟🥟

Everything is perfect! Feels like home in China.

Uns hat es sehr gefallen! Ein gemütliches kleines Lokal, das Dim Sum fantastisch, die Besitzer sehr sympathisch und freundlich, und die kleine Karte spricht nur für die Qualität. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder, das war sicher nicht der letzte Besuch :)

The dumplings are amazing! Unfortunately the atmosphere is not very welcoming even though they have amazing food! We still come on a regular base

Super großzügig, viele vegane Optionen, meeeega lecker und das allerbeste ist der Service ❤️ 谢谢老板&老板娘！

Tolle Dim Sum, sehr freundlich und authentisch.

Great service, they’re really kind!

Sehr netter kleiner Laden. Mit unglaublich leckeren Duplings . Was für ein Genuss . So nette Bedienung. Wir werden immer wieder vorbeischauen . So liebevoll und lecker !!!!

The dumplings are amazing, best in Berlin, for non-vegans I strongly recommend the fluffy Baozi, for vegans I recommend every vegan options, the appetisers are also very yummy, especially the cumcumber salad, and I love the Antie, she’s so sweet and nice!

Honestly- food was ok, but overpriced. You can eat for the same money much better In Bergmannkiez. I went out hungry and had to buy another food on the way home. 17 € without a drink. Would not recommend or come back.

Wir wurden von der Besitzerin freundlich begrüßt und man hatte sofort das Gefühl, dass man hier sehr willkommen ist. Die Maultaschen sind einfach nur göttlich. Da wir mehrere Personen waren, konnten wir uns sehr gut durch die Karte futtern. Der Traum war aber die Nachspeise. Eine Hefeteigtasche, die mit einer Vanillechreme und gesalzenem Eigelb gefüllt war. Damit war es ein sehr schöner Abschluss. Wir werden auf alle Fälle wieder kommen.

Gutes Essen und toller Service!

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliche Besitzer! Wir waren jetzt schon ein paar mal hier und sind begeistert! Die Dim Sum sind frisch und super lecker! Die Bedienung ist aufmerksam und freundlich! Klare Empfehlung von uns!

Très bon repas, servi rapidement et avec beaucoup de soin et de gentillesse ! Un restaurant dans lequel on se sent bien et on mange très bien ! Je recommande vivement =)

Fellow kin and comrades, behold, a realm where dumplings reign supreme, whether as a mere morsel or a grand feast. I proffer my counsel thus: pair the cucumber salad with any dumpling variant for a delightful interlude. Should your appetite be a tempestuous storm, the colossal dumplings stand ready to sate it. In their array, both vegetal and carnal offerings grace the table. Friends of mine have spoken of the crimson-hued vegetarian treasures, yet my heart sings for the hearty, meat-laden titans. Let it be known, the sauce from the cucumber sanctuary is a secret elixir not to be ignored. In a parallel narrative, permit me to exalt the sanctum of hygiene, for the chamber of relief stood pristine and splendid. With earnest camaraderie, Panda

Sehr sympathischer Laden und super leckeres Essen, Preis-Leistung 10/10

Tasty dumplings and starters, pleasant and speedy service - an easy dinner out

Super friendly and the dumplings are delicious. They told us that all their dumplings are hand made by themselves, and gave us ice cube in our drink because of hot weather. Definitely going to visit again very soon!

Sehr, sehr lecker! Und unglaublich netter Service. Absolut empfehlenswert.
