Chaomin-Congee Restaurant in Berlin

If you are a Chinese and it happens that you also love RouJiaMo/Xi’An Burger, I would like to tell you this restaurant provides as good as you could have in Xi’An. I saw LiangPi had bad comments already, I also tried, the comments are valid :P I give 5 stars for RouJiaMo/Xi’An Burger only.

2 ⭐️ I visited this restaurant after seeing their advertisement on social media. Unfortunately, the experience didn't meet expectations. The service staff seemed indifferent and could have been more courteous. The food, particularly the Liang Pi (cold skin noodles) and congee, fell short of traditional standards - I couldn't finish my meal due to the unsatisfactory taste. While I appreciate their effort to provide authentic cuisine, there's significant room for improvement in both food quality and service.

Really good conjee and starters! Loved the food and the atmosphere!

Simply great! Great location, everything furnished and decorated very harmoniously with Vietnam! The service was great, they explained everything to us really well

Edamame was ok, the main courses (Sichuan Chicken and Frying Noodles with Tofu) and the Extra Spicy Wonton didn't convince us at all.

ONLY CASH! Mixed reviews, a couple of the dishes like the chaomin congee and pork belly dish were good, but the others were average. Not too bad, but no wow factor for me.

Friendly staff but I was dissapointed by the food. They offer Szechuan Chicken which is supposedly "very spicy" as one would expect from a Szechuan dish, however in reality it had barely any spice and it tasted more like sweet chilly sauce and it was a rather small portion. Also it was very cold in there.

Best congee in Berlin!! Super friendly staff and good vibes!

The food was really delicious and the service was also great. There was a misunderstanding when ordering that was immediately resolved without any lengthy discussion. I can thoroughly recommend the shop, especially because of the moderate prices and high quality food.

The food was very good, but the drinks didn't come despite asking. When I wanted to pay, the employee refused to redeem my Neotaste voucher because I hadn't reached the minimum order value. So it was his intention… Too bad

Hi 👋 first of all please don’t come to this restaurant because lots of other Chinese restaurants, because no cleaning in the restaurant and very dirty dishes so please 🙏 don’t come to here.

Tiny portion of rolls costs 7,50€ it was very disappointing to open that box at home.

The liangpi is very tasty also very nice chef

We tried the seafood congee pot, it was terrible. You are warned. Some seafood provided was considered fresh, so it is not about the quality of the seafood. The congee broth is difficult to explain, it is just bad on our opinion. What a waste to the seafood. Service was quite friendly. Meat burger was no up to my expectations, I have been there for the burger, but this time the meat should not taste sauer. Time to pay, we found a 12€ surcharge, the waitress claim it is for the hotpot. It was not communicated properly or stated in the menu.

What a disappointment, I've eaten here a few times. But today when I ordered food to be delivered to my home, the dish I ordered was "Chao Min" but when I received the order it was Chao with minced meat, the bread that came with it smelled like it in the fridge. Chao is very salty and the amount is very small.

Super tasty and best udon noodle dishes! I'll be back!

Guys, you have to do something with the food. I heard about that place from my friend, so the other day decided to try it. I ordered sichuan chicken, from the description expected it to be crispy but it wasn’t at all. And the taste of the dish was weird for me, so for that one I can rate only 4/10. The fried udon was a little bit better, but still we couldn’t enjoy our meal. I heard that they have tasty chao, so maybe we ordered wrong dishes to try.

I didn’t know about such authentic Liangpi! It’s so delicious, the roujiamo is also delicious😋 and my favorite porridge... finally I don’t need to drink drinks. I tried the beef version this time. I’ll check out other flavors next time

Ordered M10 from the lunch menu to take away from home. I paid 9.50 instead of 8.50, even though the pho only contained a bit of Chinese cabbage, a few pieces of pak choi and tofu and 3 zucchini strips. Also cash only. There are better places in the area for good Pho.

Had amazing food at Chaomin. The congee, dumplings and the salmon were all on point. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes authentic asian food.

Great food for a pan Asian fan like myself. The atmosphere u sat in was great and it is both indoor and outdoor

I am rating this place as least , cause of their policy . Seems like if we need to use restroom .. we need to buy something which is ridiculous in my view !

Order through Wolt. Food arrived fast, great! But, the summer roles fell completely apart making them unable to eat and the beef noodle dish was just spicy, without much flavour. Was quite disappointing.

What can you say......amazing noodles and burgers......authentically Asian and perfectly crafted. Prices absolutely ok. Clear recommendation. I don't share the negative review about food that isn't clean. This is an attempt by the competition to diminish the success. Provide evidence...

Great food, kind staff. Would highly recommend!

I would like to express my deep concern about the lack of food safety of your products. It is completely unacceptable that the food you delivered arrived in an unhygienic condition. Specifically, I ordered two bowls of porridge, both of which had a sour taste and a distinctly unpleasant smell, indicating spoiled food. This poses a serious threat to consumer health and is a clear indication that the food has been stored improperly for a long period of time. What is particularly concerning is that this is the second time such an incident has happened to me with your restaurant. This gross negligence must be remedied immediately. It is of the utmost importance that you take immediate action to ensure that such an incident does not occur again. Hygiene and safety standards in the food industry must be strictly adhered to in order not to endanger the health of your customers. I would also like to strongly advise other potential customers to exercise extreme caution when considering ordering from your restaurant. Consumer safety and health should always come first.

Delicious! We loved the beef congee, we’ll definitely come back to try different flavours. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff too!

A wonderful small, uncomplicated, cozy restaurant with ultra delicious Chinese and Vietnamese food. We were here today for the fourth time in the last five weeks and have always tried different dishes - starters and main courses. It always has us! tasted very good. Really fresh, high-quality vegetables, delicious meat and fish. Super tasty sauces. Everything was really well prepared. We are very excited and would like to thank the chef and the entire, super nice team. Stay with us for a long time!

I never visited this restaurant in person but ordered two chao ga congee via uber eats. My special requests were kindly considered. However, the food was way too salty and not edible. I even diluted congee with water, but it didn't work. It was such a shame that I had to throw away food completely. I have never visited this restaurant in person, but ordered two chao ga congee via Uber Eats. My special requests were kindly taken into account. However, the food was far too salty and inedible. I even diluted the congee with water, but it didn't help. It was really a shame that I had to throw the food away completely.

It looks much better on the pictures here than in person which was disappointing. The food wasn't that good either~ the rice was too sticky and not well cooked so I couldn't enjoy it that much. The food was okay but nothing interesting as well as the Homemade drink. I wouldn't go there back again. But the waitress was very kind~😊

Very very tasty and unusual. Service also great

Amazing food and the service was exquisite ♥️🔝

I don't understand the rating, Worst Vietnamese ice coffee in Berlin. Food was ok. If he had taken the coffee from the bill would say 3 stars, like this. 1 is more than enough.

The service and food here are great. Thank you to the French waiter who took care of us 😍

Very tasty and quickly prepared. When the sun is shining, you can sit outside very comfortably. Cash and card payment possible.

Tried the beef congee and ribs congee. Both good, quite mild on the flavors.

The food is delicious, and on top of that offer generous portions at a low price so a great value for money. My wife and I have been here a few times and have loved everything we’ve tried. I’m a vegetarian and she’s an omnivore, and both have several options. Great spot.

SUCH a lovely surprise, this place. Portion sizes were great, and the food so flavourful! Great selection of dishes, all at very reasonable prices. We shared 4 tapas as starters / sides: kimchi, cucumber salad, tofu, wontons. They were all so delicious and filling, with fresh ingredients. The aubergine main was huge, crispy and soft at the same time, soo so yum. "Hot duck" was definitely spicy & really delicious too. Overall huge amounts of food, would recommend ordering a little less unless you're as hungry as we were.

Nice service and very tasty food, will come back!

VIetnamese place with congee and a bunch of Vietnamese classics. Never had congee before, so my Chinese friend took me here, was honestly very satisfied with just about everything. Delicious wonton soup, amazing congee and a perfect black sticky rice mango dessert. Props to what I assume was the owner, super sweet lady that only made our dining experience better!

Unfortunately only cash payment

Really nice atmosphere with beautiful and friendly staff. Marion is especially very nice to talk with. Very good chicken wings I’ve had there and the coffee is also excellent! Would go again any time of the day!

Wangtan and Congee Chaomin are very tasty. Somehow the congee is more like "porridge", which is something I don't know as a Chinese person. Nevertheless, it has a very good taste. The Wangtan is recommended. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. Gladly again!

Ordered food. Item is missing. Unfortunately there was no help on the phone! Very unfriendly conversation

Foods taste 4 stars, portion & price 3 stars, very small portion. The dumplings are added with black vinegar which isn’t acceptable for myself. The mango & black rice dessert is disappointing, I assumed it’ll be half mango as I had in Thai restaurants but it’s just tiny pieces as photo.

Delicious food and very nice interior, we enjoyed our lunch a lot 👌🙌

Tasty food, friendly service. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend.

Review as an Asian, the congee here is thick and flavourful, almost like the Hong Kong style.The best part? They added pork floss and You Tiao! Best congee in Berlin.

Definitely try the Yu Xiang Tofu/Chicken! We just happened to eat at the restaurant and loved it so much that we had to come back with the family the next day. However, the spiciness scale is based on people who can eat really spicy food. We'll come by next time and try the hotpot too.

The food was the best we have eaten in a long time. Perfect from the starters to the main courses and the lovely dessert. Very well seasoned, very authentic and above all very tasty. Plus great value for money. We're looking forward to coming back.

I ordered the spicy udon noodles. Anyone who is used to European spiciness will find this too much. I'm good at sharpening now, but that was really crazy. Maybe three chillies as one on the menu? The intolerances were also not clearly marked. For example, there was no gluten sign on the udon noodles. This was confirmed upon request. Could cause problems for less noodle connoisseurs. But the Obagine dish was very tasty and very filling. Overall, everything was slightly more expensive than expected, but still within the normal range.

Came across this restaurant by chance. I ate “Frying Udon with Chicken” very well. I had to go there again the next day. :-) Delicious food, friendly service and affordable prices! Clear recommendation from me! Attention: Seating is required. Stools instead of chairs. I thought it was great! ;-)

Chaomin Congee Restaurant is a charming and beautifully decorated restaurant. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was otherwise pretty average. The deciding factor for our visit was a coupon at NeoTaste. When we ordered, we were then told that only one person (in a group of four) could use the coupon. Nevertheless, we chose five main courses. The breaded chicken and the Szechuan dish were very tasty, the other main courses were ok, and unfortunately the congee didn't impress us. What bothered us the most was that we were very hungry again after just two hours. That may speak for the lightness of the dishes, but given the prices, which were not so low, we were very disappointed. We wouldn't come back.

Really nice Asian restaurant with a great atmosphere and service. The food was just amazing, I had the hot duck and it was really delicious. My friends had different versions of congee and it was delicious as well. Can definitely recommend it!

Had ordered home the satay beef and it was amazing!

Authentic Vietnamese rice soup aka Cháo. Very tasty and fantastic taste experience. 5 stars plus extra stars!

Very aromatic, balanced cuisine.

The YU XIANG TOFU dish was to die for. The employees and the owner are so nice and accommodating, great service :)

Very nice restaurant staff was lovely and the food was delicious was a great meal!

I really enjoyed the Sichuan Chicken. It had the perfect spiciness. The udon noodles were also delicious. Finally we had the sweet Matcha Bun Bear. Not only does it look cute, it also tastes great. I really felt like it again for the next few days and would therefore like to come back soon. :3

Very attentive service. Food beautifully prepared and really good! Unfortunately we were only here for a quick lunch. Next time we will definitely have more time and hunger.

Awesome please with authentic affordable food and great lunch options. The Congees (like a thick rice soup) are something really unique that I have not seen anywhere else in Berlin

beautiful restaurant, very friendly staff and the food was amazing! we loved everything we ordered and would love to return.

Beautiful Asian, really tasty and fresh. Fast delivery of food.

Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here at Chaomin. We order the udon pork noodles and the eggplant chicken. Both the dishes were very very tasty and I particularly enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee. Lovely time here. Would definitely recommend.

Very tasty food and very nice service. Only the ambience and the chairs could be better

This is a very great shop that I met through a work colleague and immediately liked. The rice soups are very tasty, and you can also get extra toppings for them. I've tried a lot of things from here and they've always been delicious. I can only recommend him.

Super tasty congee soup 😍 also plenty of delicious vegan options

Really good food Big portions Good pricing Nice atmosphere And the service is fast and very friendly

We had the congee hotpot during our short visit to Berlin. Very fair portion to the price, super delicious, and the service deserves 6 stars! The Chinese-speaking sister is super gentle! Hope business continues to be good

the rice soup was our highlight!

Amazing place, we went there for lunch, super cosy atmosphere with fireplace, delicious food, kind waitress.

The Beef Satay was extremely salty. The dumplings felt store bought quality. We felt horrible after this dinner with our stomachs churning.

I did not have the special dish of this restaurant. However I still expected a better food when I ordered a normal curry dish. The mango dessert was disappointing. It was mostly sticky rice and yogurt and only a few small pieces of dried mango on top of it! I really expected to see a good amount of fresh mango when the name indicates "mango".

Haben das Restaurant über neotaste entdeckt. Das Beef Satay ist eine 10/10!!! Waren schon drei mal da und habe jedes Mal das gleiche gegessen, weil es nicht leckeres geben kann.

Nachdem ich aufgrund eines positiven Tagesspiegelberichts auf das Restaurant aufmerksam geworden bin, war ich dann doch eher enttäuscht vom Essen. Wir waren gegen 17 Uhr die einzigen Gäste, so dass der Koch eigentlich genügend Zeit hatte. Im Gegensatz zu den Getränken, auf die wir ca. 10 Minuten warten mussten, war das Essen wesentlich schneller da. Leider war es aber nur lauwarm und der gebratene Tofu gedämpft anstatt gebraten ☹️. Auch wurden die Vorspeisen nicht vorher serviert, sondern zusammen mit den Hauptgerichten. Alles in allem nicht so toll.

Place with unusual menu. Really great to see something new! We took wontons, congee and beef satay. Both were good. I will come back to try some other options from the menu! And it was served really fast.

The special hotpot is really unique in Germany, even in europe. They got some quite good Asian fusion recipes also

Best congee ever, definitely recommended. One of the few places I go back to repeat meals in Berlin.

Very very kind service:) We had a hotpot for two. really high quality food and a huge portion. Super nice atmosphere. It was not cheap, but worth for the money. Dogs were also welcome :)

Great food, especially the congee was very authentic with a nice twist. Lovely restaurant design and staff was also super friendly :)

We came here for 3 times only for the congee hotpot! It’s just amazing. Nutritious porridge as hotpot! Genius idea 💡 . Nice music 🎶 very very friendly waitress and waiter! Answer all our questions about congee!

Fantastisches vietnamesisches Restaurant, sind per Zufall hier gelandet. Genial gewürztes essen, Super Auswahl für alle und extrem freundliches Personal! Sollten wir wieder nach Berlin reisen- sehr gerne wieder! ❤️ 🙁Einzige Minuspunkte waren die Stühle ohne Rückenlehne und die Tatsache, dass wir nur Bar zahlen konnten. Gerne hätten wir mehr bestellt, da aber kein Bankomat in der Nähe war, haben wir nur gemäss Budget gegessen.

Ristorante molto carino. Attenzione che accettano contanti oppure pagamenti con carta NON Mastercard. Io ho mangiato la zuppa di riso che era molto buona mentre i ravioli con i gamberi erano spaziali!

Die Cháo Bò war wirklich lecker. Sehr gut gewürztes und zartes Rindfleisch. Wir machen gerne etwas mehr Pfeffer rein und auch da haben wir gemerkt, dass der Pfeffer hochwertig war. Die Cháo Min war nicht ganz so würzig wie die Cháo Bò und wurde auch mit Reismehl statt mit Reis gekocht, was mir persönlich nicht so gut geschmeckt hat wie mit Reis. Der Nachtisch war leider zu süß.

I would give a negative rating if it is possible. This restaurant is definitely a NO-GO and is my Berlin blacklisted restaurant. First, they DO NOT wash their vegetables at all. The first two pictures are taken when I went there with my friend for a hot pot, and you can easily see there are mud on the vegetables. Second, the other two pictures are an ordering photo for take-out. I don't need to describe much, everyone can see how irresponsible they are and how they treat their customers. It is all negative experience with this spot and I am just so fed up with it.

Ich wusste nicht 100% was mich mit Congee erwartet, aber ich muss sagen das es mir einfach sehr gut gefallen hat. Das Congee-Gericht war eine super Portion und hat echt gut geschmeckt. Weiterhin habe ich frittierte Auberginen und Sichuan Chicken bestellt, welches beides sehr lecker war. Ein anderes Highlight war der Nachtisch. „Black Mango“ ist schwarzer Klebreis mit Mango, Kokos usw. Das war wirklich gut. Weiterhin ist das Restaurant sehr schön eingerichtet und das Personal war sehr freundlich. Ich werde bestimmt nochmal vorbeikommen.

Cute restaurant with delicious food. Tried my very first congee there, if you are a fan of savory porridge - recommend trying the chicken one. Lunch menus and home delivery are also great 👍

We went for dinner and It was a great service and food.

Very tasty food, quite big portions and nice interior design

We went there for lunch and the service was super friendly! Everything looked and tasted really good. We really enjoyed the spiciness of the food. 👍🏼 Last but not least, I‘ll mention that we used the Neo App here. 😁

This Vietnamese restaurant has cozy vibes and serves up delicious, dishes. While the food was fantastic, it could use a bit more spice. The service, although friendly, was a tad slow, and they had a forgotten starter (altough they apologized and did not include it in the receipt). Additionally, the starters were a bit on the smaller side for their price (6-7 euros, see photos).

Essen schlecht. Fake Bewertung.

Finally visited this place near my place. So happy I did, the waitress was super friendly. The food was really, really tasty and good size portion (I had the beef satay). Quick service also, I'll be back !

Süßes Restaurant, super leckeres Essen und sehr liebe Bedienung. Definitiv zu empfehlen!

I was having fever today and for a Taiwanese we always eat congee when we are sick. Luckily I found this restaurant on Wolt and had hot warm yummy congee which made me feel much better! Thank you Chaomin!!!

Ein sehr tolles Restaurant. Ein echtes Genusserlebnis. Kleine Räumlichkeiten, aber reicht völlig aus. Sie sind immer unglaublich freundlich und man fühlt sich willkommen.

By the time I was here the rating was 4,7 - but it really didn’t feel like this. Main dish taste was medium, cold light from the ceiling doesn’t feel cozy, pretty pricy drinks, main dish came with starter. The starter soup was really tasty though.
