Chuan House in Berlin

Very nice and fast service. Super tasty and authentic food. Definitely my favorite restaurant for Chinese cuisine.

Fantastic food, really tasty and refreshingly different from the standard you're used to. I think that the cook puts a lot of effort into the preparation, the eye definitely eats here. The ambience is very classic, the service was very accommodating and polite. All in all, a wonderful culinary experience.

Great mega food, super friendly service, I would go there again at any time. Just great

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times over the past two years and always enjoyed the food and the overall experience. In fact, I had previously given it a 5-star review. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was deeply disappointing and has left me questioning whether I would return. I went with my girlfriend, expecting the same great experience I’ve had in the past. The food itself was as good as I remembered, but the service and treatment we received were shocking. Here’s what happened: When the food was brought to our table, the dishes were placed in the center without any explanation. My girlfriend politely asked the waitress to confirm what one of the dishes was. Instead of answering the question directly, the waitress responded rudely, saying, "Did you forget what you ordered? You should know what you ordered. You get what you ordered." After we clarified the question again, she finally provided the name of the dish but in an unfriendly tone. Later, when the main waiter came by to check if anything was missing, my girlfriend mentioned the waitress’s rude behavior. His response? "She is the boss, and I won't tell her what to do." This lack of accountability was frustrating, but nothing compared to what happened next. After my girlfriend posted a 1-star Google review about her experience (while still sitting at our table), the male co-owner returned, loudly berating us in front of the entire restaurant. He essentially shouted, "If you post that review, eat up and get out. OUT. The waitress is not your slave." He then repeated that we needed to leave. My girlfriend stepped outside while I stayed to settle the bill. Even then, the waitress had the audacity to ask me if I had already paid, as if I were trying to leave without doing so. I understand that running a restaurant can be stressful and challenging, especially when it comes to managing feedback, but this reaction was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. While I’ve enjoyed this restaurant in the past, this experience has completely soured my opinion. I hope the owners take this feedback seriously and work on improving how they handle customer interactions. Until then, I cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

Amazing place, cosy for a nice dinner and amazing food. The food is really well seasoned and not too heavy really refined. Staff is really welcoming and trying to make the experience as good as possible. Also a lot of options for vegetarian and vegan.

Food was too salty, the waitress was super unfriendly. We're never coming back.

Full marks. Everything was right. The food is really special. The owner is very interested in making you feel comfortable. It's always a pleasure to dine here.

So good! My new favorite Chinese place.

Food was great and the staff was very friendly. Great place for upscale Chinese!

Amazing experience! We came here for the first time and we felt right at home! The owner is super nice and the food is absolutely amazing! Would recommend to anyone who loves authentic Chinese food!

Super nice & friendly owners! Great, authentic Chinese food ❤️ It was my first time here for my birthday dinner and it was the best decision 🥰 It was fun and delicious, thank you for the good time!

The food was excellent, very fresh and fair portion size. Very hospitable, best service in a long time. I was completely satisfied and will become a regular :) (I can't understand negative reviews in any way, the food is authentic and very high quality!)

Incredibly delicious food, highly trained, super helpful service. I've been there three times and will definitely come more often :)

It was the tastiest thing I've eaten in a long time. The eggplant was incredibly good! The sharpness was perfect because I'm a bit more sensitive. But a bowl of chili oil is available for those who like it spicier. Otherwise there is also a great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The service was attentive and very friendly. We would love to come back!

Wonderful. Delicious food and top service.

Authentic Chinese cuisine, outstanding service! Value for money is simply top. Absolute recommendation - we would love to come back. Explicit thanks to the great boss, he always has a quick saying on his lips, very likeable. The furnishings could perhaps be a little more comfortable - but they are certainly authentic. Had mapo tofu with minced meat and beef stew, cucumber salad and sweet and sour soup - all excellent.

best of best in Berlin. refreshing and also simple taste(even if it is an oily dish), a clean area and friendly staff. The reason I can only post one picture is that here so great, while I ate food I could not even thinking taking the picture.

Really excellent food and nice service! Quite inconspicuous from the outside, but it's well worth coming in - highly recommended!

We had dinner today and are absolutely thrilled. All dishes were very tasty, good and very pleasant atmosphere. The boss was soooo friendly! We would love to come back next time we visit Berlin ❤️

Excellent meal in a very nice restaurant. The very good service (top hosts) and the price/performance ratio are absolutely top. Tip, make a reservation, because others also know how great it is. Not too loud despite the people. Highly recommended and we will be back. 👍😁

Rightly rated best! Sympathetic service, friendly and humorous. The finest food! It's been a long time since I've had such good Chinese food Highly recommended!

Horrible experience in this restaurant. My friend who is deadly allergic to peanuts got served his meal full of peanuts (although he asked specifically if the meal included peanuts because he can literally die if he eats one). The guy working here didn’t seem to care and said that there isn’t peanuts. In fact, his meal arrives and there is peanuts. My friend kindly ask the guy to get a new one WITHOUT peanuts. Second meal, again, with peanuts. They probably didn’t cook a new one and just took out the peanuts but obviously they missed some!! The guy didn’t even apologized and just took the plate. He didn’t charged us for the plate, which is minimum to do! Not to add that I found a white powder on my napkin and scattered all over on the plate under the napkin….. worst service and the owner need to go fix his personal problems… unbelievable.

An extremely generous boss with whom it was pleasant to chat between courses and excellent cuisine which, for the French that we are, did not constitute an excessively long wait. A good evening full of laughter and from which we left with full bellies!

Delicious food! I would go back many times.

The food is really good. I had just a few starter today but will come back for more! Had some wan tan, dumplings, and dim sum. For real origin spiced food, this is a good place to go. If it says spicy at this place, it means Asian typ of spicy (dragon dance on your tongue) not european ahh a bit of spicy is OK I can stand it. The host was quite busy, but still in a good mood and was able to read my mind to have another coke before I was able to order one 😀 Will come back soon, for sure!

Excellent authentic Chinese food and charming staff. Will come again for that spicy mapo tofu!

Great authentic Chinese. Excellent food and service. Owner was very friendly and helpful!

We ate there with 4 people. The service was brilliant. We had a few special requests regarding drinks that were not included in the menu. The waiter made it ready for us anyway. The conversations with him were also great. We had a fun evening. Thank you.

Very beautiful and authentic restaurant amazing food, fast and good service. But to be honest the owner is so friendly and cheerful so I would come back here even just for him. In short it's a great restaurant and I really recommend it!

Food was good, and although a tad understaffed the day we went they were still very friendly

Lovely decor, very attentive host and gorgeous food. Will be back!

Just disappointed. We were there for dinner on July 27th, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. Due to the very good reviews. Since we spend a lot of time in Asia, we can get a very good idea of ​​the food, service and ambience. The boss of the whole thing badmouths his employees in front of the guests, so loudly that everyone can hear it. His words, I'm understaffed, the chef is alone and overwhelmed. You cannot have dessert, otherwise other guests will have to wait for their food. The staff, dressed inappropriately, ripped pants etc. Staff are already clearing the tables, even though you haven't finished eating and drinking yet. The presentation of the food is good, but that's about it. The taste cannot be compared at all to the food in Asia. Every food stall in Asia makes the food taste better. We can no longer process the positive reviews.

Authentic Chinese restaurant, with amazing food and even better service, all for reasonable prices. What else do you need?

A nice evening. Ordering in advance would be good but we also managed to get a table at short notice. The food is simply great 👍 The special nightcap with a guessing game is also recommended. But not all guests get it 😁

Authentic Chinese food, fresh, freshly prepared and very tasty! The meat melts in your mouth because it's so tender, regardless of the meat (we ordered chicken, beef and duck, all delicious!) The owner (?) is very attentive and friendly! Always worried if we needed something, he gave us a delicious drink to try and recommended the best dishes in the house. We will definitely be back! Thank you for the excellent gastronomic experience

Definitely the best Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten in, the food is of an amazing quality and the service is spectacular, the manager is very kind, very helpful and uniquely skilled. He was so disappointed that we had to wait half an hour that he offered us a glass of wine, which was also of a very high quality. If you are in Berlin I absolutely recommend going there, it is not just a meal but an experience. But make sure you book in advance.

Incredible food, beat only by the wonderful welcoming service. Get those ribs as an appetizer (W4) and you’ll thank me later ❤️

They don't make it easy here. The fact that the place has two names: Chuan House and Wei House is stupid. Nothing works here without a reservation. There are no wine bottles either. Instead, only 0.2 liter glasses were poured - but unfortunately the pouring was poor, so we had to complain. The cuisine is OK, but my Szechuan beef is a very oily affair. We've been to China many times and things taste a little different there. But the portions are fair, the guests are full and don't necessarily need an appetizer. But with some wine and a shared starter and two main courses without tea or desserts, we ended up with 95 EUR - not exactly cheap.

Really good Sichuan food! Spicy but not too spicy

WOW! What a hidden gem in Alexanderplatz. I have found Chinese/Asian style restaurants to be very hit and miss across Europe. But this is so FRESH, you won’t mind the wait for the courses! Even though there was a language barrier, I politely wrote down on my phone my order and they were happy to use this! Definitely a revisit next time I’m in Berlin. The prices cannot be missed aswell!

Great authentic Chinese restaurant. I recommend following the staff suggestions - every dish we ordered was wonderful

I am very sick and unfortunately sometimes I cannot control my bladder. I didn't choose it myself. I begged the gray-haired, half-bald old man to be allowed to go to the toilet but he said no. When I continued to beg and made him aware of my illness, he grabbed my arm, screamed at me and threw me out. where I then peed my pants in front of the door. How can you be so inhumane! This is bodily harm, the whole thing was recorded on video and will be reported!

Best food. Everything freshly prepared. Lots of vegetarian options. Highly Recommended.

The restaurant is a total work of art. The interior looks a bit like 8 delicacies, but gentlemen, the food is at the top of the premium league that Berlin has to offer when it comes to Asian cuisine. The eggplant is out of this world - the owner is incredibly friendly and is so happy when his guests enjoy the food. His cooking is good - his chef mixes the most important things himself and makes really great Sichuan food. Do not miss!

That was excellence in the kitchen and the service was outstanding. Geheimtipp!!

Highly recommended, delicious food recommended by the boss👌😋 An inconspicuous restaurant, but very enjoyable and there was also an aperitif for free!

Cuisine - Chinese Taste - Very Good Variety - Very Good Food Authenticity - Very Good Location - Good Ambience - Good Service - Friendly & Good Quality - Extremely Good Hygenie - Good Prices - Good Price for good food Tap water - They should serve tap water (leistungswasser) which will help save environment by avoiding bottled water. #RECOMMENDED for sure

Authentic chinese, properly spicy, lots of vegetarian options and meat. Owner/host is very mind and funny, offers good suggestions.

The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. I can only recommend listening to the owner's advice. The food is very well seasoned, even if slightly spicy. It suited my taste exactly.

We just moved around the corner and are so happy we tried this place. Real Chinese food done by a Chinese Chef, very tasty and no Glutamat used.

Great food. Great service. Kind regards to Lake Chiemsee. Visit April 28th

Great authentic Chinese restaurant & friendly service! The food is great, especially the vegetarian/vegan main courses are recommended - really tasty!

Update: Went back today again, 2 months after the last time. And the owner just got more rude. How he treat his customer, being so agitated all the time. The worse is how he treats the other waitress, how he called her “useless”. No more, not worth it Amazing food as usual, although the service can improve a bit. I understood it was a busy night but must admit it felt at some point uncomfortable with the waiter being agitated. I’ve been here before and the atmosphere was great but also it was not as crowded.

A truly authentic restaurant and very personal and pleasant. I highly recommend it. The food is super delicious.

What a meal, great authentic cuisine, great surroundings & absolutely amazing service! Thanks

Very tasty, original Chinese food and very nice, attentive service! We'd love to come back! :)

Absolutely amazing food! Really enjoyed it.

Great food, attentive service, good location, pleasant interior. I'll be back.

Very tasty food and very good service! Clear recommendation!

There are strict rules that were explained to us right away. There is no possibility of making a dish less spicy, for example, no change of any kind. When we then asked for soy sauce, which is not available, the waitress was personally offended. You don't feel like constantly arguing with the chef, but we were complained about all the time. It became very rude and the waitresses stood together and complained about us so loudly that we heard it. One meal was too spicy and one meal just didn't taste good. Overall, very unprofessional behavior, we will not visit the store again.

We went there twice for dinner during our Berlin vacation. Both times we were impressed not only by the delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine, but also by the very warm service! The caramelized eggplant in particular is highly recommended (even for die-hard meat eaters)!

Very good address, we were very well received and the dishes as well as the value for money were great!! Bonus for the kindness of the servers, we recommend

Very good food ! Had a good evening in this restaurant! For those who like good Chinese food, I recommend it! 🇨🇳🐉🐉🐉

When we came into the restaurant we were greeted warmly and even though we didn't have a reservation we were immediately assigned a table. The food was delicious and quite plentiful. We didn't have to wait long for our food either. We liked it and would like to come back.

Eating is great, if it weren't for the sniffling guy who talks so much...

Went there because we live nearby but never tried it before. We didn't expect much from a supposed 'standard Chinese restaurant', but we were pleasantly surprised by the cuisine (selection and quality). The interior looks like 'all' Chinese restaurants looked like when I was a child in the last millennium ;-) That's why we hesitated to give it a try... Don't be fooled, the selection isn't too big but it's very fine. The numerous starters (cold and warm) are very unusual, very different and well prepared. The quality of the supposedly standard dishes is also very good. You can taste the fresh preparation with high-quality ingredients. I can only recommend it if someone is in the mood for 'traditional Chinese cuisine' from different regions in China... The only thing that I personally didn't like was the beer selection, but that doesn't result in any deductions in my rating because it's my taste and not necessarily yours... Be curious and have fun

Absolutely great authentic Chinese cuisine with very friendly hosts. The food is really delicious and I can highly recommend Chuan Hose. The service is top and you feel very comfortable. Always my pleasure.

Excellent in every way! Not run-of-the-mill Asian food, just something more refined. More sophisticatedly seasoned, excellently prepared and served with a lot of charm and good service. An absolute recommendation.

Amazing food. Authentic, fresh and original attitude and service. Fantastic atmosphere. I appreciate and value the entire experience of the owners.

RUDE. UNPROFESSIONAL. CALL THEIR GUESTS JERKS. The owners - the husband and the wife, were very rude. It all started from the first order of drinks and continued till payment. Just to new a few incidents, they had desserts with ice cream that didn't have "F" for milk allergy. We assumed that they have lactose-free ice cream, but decided to double check. The waitress, who was also the owner of the place, or at least there was only a husband and a wife, who were serving the guests, very rudely replied that of course, ice cream contains lactose! We tried not to pay attention to the multiple rude comments, the unfriendly expression on their face. However, when it was time to pay, the waiter/owner told us that one of us pays him, and then we divide the amount between us. When we told him that each couple will pay for themselves (6 people, so 3 payments), he didn't agree and said it was very complicated to him. His machine cannot accept such payments. In the end, having a long conversation, he agreed to accept our separate payments. All went on with more comments, as we stood their, waiting for our turn to pay. One of our friends told the waiter/owner that our experience was not the best, as during the whole period the waitress was quite arrogant to us. The waiter literally called one of our friends a jerk. DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE.

Ok, the food was really good but the service wasn't good at all. The waitress was rude when asked about the allergens of the desserts. We asked to split the bill and the man was being extremely rude and even insulted my friend. Splitting the bill was pretty easy when we went up to the register and should be a common practice when we were all paying with a card. I did enjoy the food and the decorations of the restaurant but felt uncomfortable due to the service.

Very authentic Chinese restaurant. The owner explains right at the beginning that spicy is really spicy. Medium-spicy was a bit too spicy for me. I actually only eat dishes with meat, but I can really recommend the Aubergine V21. She calms the numb tongue... The owner is a number in himself but I think he's great. I would definitely eat here again even if the prices are slightly more expensive than usual.

Best service! I was eating there with my friends, the owner simply gave us a free beer and said very enthusiastically and kindly that we had honored the table and that he had won money for other customers. I've never had anything so professional! This is the best way to always treat your customers. We also got enough food there! I would really recommend this restaurant to everyone. This restaurant is incredibly authentic and leaves an unforgettable culinary result.

Hidden Gem. Soo delicious here. Definitely come here! Typically German, of course I have to complain about something: the lighting could be a little more relaxed / darker.

I intentionally ordered a more stuffy and classic dish (duck 1) to see what the interpretation of it is here. In short: I'm thrilled! Anything but standard. I'm not the first nor the last time I'm here today. Thanks!

One of the best Chinese restaurants in berlin.for me it was best experience.we tried chicken noodles,duck,sweet fried chicken,their special course food items and desserts.all of it was good but i was not satisfied with the dessert.

Cozy restaurant with amazing food and the best service I had in Berlin. Strongly recommend.

We like to eat here. There is a nice selection of starters and main courses. Food is beautifully prepared and tastes great. The service is also very nice and friendly.

A foreign friend took it with me and it turned out to be amazing! I like spicy chicken, fish-flavored eggplant, and mapo tofu. It’s super delicious with rice! Will definitely bring my friends here again!

Worst service!! I was eating there with my friends, the owner simply kicked us out of the shop and said in a very frustrated and rude manner that we had blocked the table and that he would have lost money for other customers. I've never had anything so unprofessional!! This is not how you treat your customers. We also left enough money!! I wouldn't recommend this restaurant even to my worst enemy. Compared to other restaurants in Berlin where the competition is high anyway, this one wouldn't even be able to keep up

We were traveling as a tourist with 2 children and discovered this restaurant. Were really pampered. The food is very very good. Hospitable too. We immediately booked a table for the next evening! 10 out of 10

Great cook, very nice service. Will definitely come back👌🏼

One of the top addresses in Berlin for Chinese food! 🏆

Super tasty food, value for money! Attentive, humorous service!

Excellent dinner, first-class quality and exceptional, because really original Chinese....Helpful and extraordinary service..who is also happy to help...a ​​must for Berlin....

Nur zu empfehlen,sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal, Speisen 1A !!!

Sehr leckere authentische Chinesische Küche mit sympathischem Team!

The food was super delicious! The owner of the restaurant is a very humorous and personable guy. It was really fun eating there. Will definitely go again!

Amazing host and food. Enjoyed it throughout and will definitely recommend (even to vegetarians) and will come back.

We had a great time at Chuan house. We went here for dinner and the food was top notch! The host made sure we were comfortable and attended to us with great care. As a vegetarian I had many options and decided to try the Yüxiang fried eggplant and the Mapo tofu. Both the dishes were delicious. We will definitely be going back here again!

We had a wonderful time. Christian was very kind and attended to us really well. We’d surely visit again!

Sensationell gutes Essen, liebe Gastgeber in einen sehr schönen Ambiente. Unbedingt zu empfehlen. Danke für diese tolle Erfahrung

My go-to place for Chinese food in Berlin. Delicious dishes, wonderful staff, and a lovely decorated interior. Always happy to come again!

Alles perfekt. Aber dringend vorher reservieren

Fantastic restaurant with fantastic people! The host has a passion for his restaurant and his customers and made sure that we were happy and made us feel very comfortable! I was very impressed with the restaurants decor, it's cleanliness and, of course, the food!! Fabulous!! Thank you so much guys! Tschuss!! 😁 😁 😁 ♥

Lovey food,great service , and excellent host! Staff were welcoming and friendly. Will definitely come back!

Das Essen hier ist sehr gut. Das Personal ist sehr gut. Ich habe mich nach dem ersten Essen hier sehr wohl gefühlt

Super nette Bedienung, ganz unkomplizierter Umgang beim Eintreffen um 21:30 Uhr, Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte top. Nachspeisen bislang nicht probiert. Und ein Geschäftsführer, der sich mit Getränken extrem viel Mühe gibt. Sehr zu empfehlen!

We were there in a big group for dinner and it was delightful! The food was delicious, the staff polite and responsive and ambience great! Highly recommend if you like authentic Chinese flavours!

habe hier schon mehrmals gegessen und war jedes mal super zufrieden. ich kann R2 wärmstens empfehlen 👌🏼
