Ni’s Restaurant 倪记 in Berlin

One of my fav in Berlin. Food really tasty, service very nice and friendly

Had a great dinner date here. Staff is super friendly and the food preparation was quick. The fried rice was missing some wokhey and a little salt but with some soy sauce it was a solid dish. Mapo Tofu was also lacking a bit of depth but it wasn't overly spicy and easy to eat. We initially came for the haianese chicken rice. The chicken it self had superb quality and the skin was as gelatinous as it should be. The chicken soup wasn't clear and fragrant as Ive known from Singapore, it's more like a chicken soup which by it self was also good. Besides the meat quality the star was the rice which was anything but conventional nor traditional or at least how I'm used to but it was super fluffy and fragrant. Something I haven't tasted before in that combination but I was surprised. Rice was also lacking some salt but again a bit of soy and it was right there. Price point is a bit on the steep side. But for a dinner date after a stroll in the city it's just great.

Unfortunately, me and two of my other friends got food poisoning because of the chicken they served in this place. The food was unnecessarily oily and what's the point of all these chilis really? Perfect place to mess your stomach up

I love this restaurant, the 1m noodle, the tofu with salt and pepper and the eggplant are my absolute favorite dishes.

I liked the restaurant. We were served quickly and the staff was very polite to us. The prices were a bit higher than we are used to, and the food turned out to be unexpectedly spicy for us; however, we are satisfied with the visit despite everything. I recommend paying attention to the big dishes. The special dishes are all spicy, as we understood. The restaurant has a very convenient location - not far from Museum Island. Therefore, I definitely recommend this place.

One of my favorite restaurants in Berlin. Great food and very good service.

My son recommended the restaurant to me and I'm very happy about it👍 a really very good one meter noodle in aromatic chili sauce - you really don't need any extras 👍 - except maybe a few xiao long bao. Surprisingly attentive and charming service! Absolutely recommended as a couple or for groups.

Delightful service from we walked in to we left. Very cozy and down to earth

Delicious food, spacious could be wheelchair accessible as in only 3 inch step up to entrance. Bathroom has a bit of a scent but guess it is due to airflow and Berlin esq. building but Place looks clean staff relaxed and friendly and spoke English. The food was delicious one of the best wanton and soup in Berlin.

The service was ok. I would have liked a little more attention. For some unknown reason the gin they had at the bar wasn't sold. The hand-pulled noodles were comparatively very thick. The braised beef came cut into large cubes. This made it very difficult to eat. I would have preferred it as a pulled version with the noodles. The soup dumplings could have had more flavor. The concept is good, but the finesse is missing.

The food was nice but very few vegetarian/vegan options. If you order the different options, the veggie filling is always the same.

The restaurant is ok, the food is good but not extraordinary. We went a big family group with 2 kids and it was good.

The noodles are great, and the food is generally very tasty. The toilets are unfortunately bad (dirty) and the acoustics in the restaurant are unfortunately also unpleasantly loud. It's a shame, I expected more.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant today! Our waitress Mimi was incredibly attentive and friendly – ​​the service was truly excellent. She recommended some dishes to us that we really enjoyed. Everything was delicious and she really paid us a lot of attention. Thank you for the great service and delicious food! We'd love to come back.

Slurp-worthy noodles, packed with flavor and spice. Just delicious

There is a surprise in the picture, look carefully

Food was good but expensive for the amount… we got a “big dish” but it was a child portion… the noodles didn’t have any ANY salt… disappointed and lost a lot of money

I wanted very badly to like this place. As a fan of Chinese cuisine, I find myself disappointed with the portion sizes, prices, and flavor. I'll start with the one positive aspect, which was the absolutely delicious braised pork belly. The texture and flavor of the dish were honestly great. Now the rest. The beef with lotus root was fine, nothing otherworldly, but the portion size was miniscule and it was like 75-80% veggies. The Xiao Long Bao was a bit flavorless as was the sauce, though the biggest issue was that it was served lukewarm. Lastly, the noodles with peanut sauce were hypertension friendly, at least in that they had no salt. It might be a misconception from other Chinese restaurants, or the fact that they're called "big dishes" or the fact that there is a spinning center in the table that seems to be made for sharing, but the dishes barely being a portion for one person while costing around 18 euros and coming with only a tiny serving of rice broke my heart into similarly small pieces. They also brought out the plates so slowly one after the other, which is a failire on a basic of restaurants one would not expect. Sadly, I cannot recommend this place.

Supergood chinese restaurant with nice, relaxed armosphere. Very good choice and quality of food!

Very nice little authentic restaurant. Very tasty food. Fantastic atmosphere and cuisine. Very nice and attentive staff. Definitely worth a visit.

The food was very good and the prices afordable. The music is ambient and nice and the waitress Mimi made an amazing job. Super sweet and always with a smile.

Lots going on at lunchtime. The braised beef was good. Vegetables are great for me (still crunchy), meat unfortunately a bit fibrous. Service very friendly and quick. Portion is enough.

Unfortunately, the broth in the soup was bland and not flavorful. The duck and noodles were good, but that’s only part of the dish.

Food poisoning after visiting a restaurant – Absolutely not recommended I had a soup at the restaurant that had the consistency of jelly, as well as shrimp with vegetables and rice. Shortly afterwards I suffered the worst food poisoning of my life and even had to go to the hospital. Absolutely not recommended – eating here is dangerous.

Delicious food that is completely different from the standard Asian restaurant.

People from Hunan don’t come ah ah ah ah ah ah

A little on the pricier side, but very authentic food in a creative atmosphere. Could be a bit loud at times, but still good.

The food is pretty good a little bit bland maybe. The service is nice and the restaurant itself looks a bit gentrified and unauthentic. Overall still a good restaurant.

A lot of food. Friendly service. Will come again!

The ambience and service was good however food and flavors overall didn’t quite hit the mark (some good some only disappointing). Meter long noodles were good and the shrimps in wasabi sauce. the chicken was so dry - it was only fried chicken with no sauce or flavor otherwise - had to dip it in the chili oil of noodles. Although the chillis in the chicken were off the roof spicy. Also ordered the vegetable roll which was definitely not cooked well. Could taste that some filling is still cold inside while some of it was hot perhaps because it wasnt cooked at the right temperature. Not some place I’d want to give another go. They serve dishes as they get prepared so starters could come after main course which was kind of weird esp since the soup came after the noodles.

We had an awesome experience when traveling to Berlin. This place is in “Mitte” which makes it convenient while in town for only 1-2 days. No need to go out of the way for an experience. Atmosphere and service was awesome. While food was good while adjusted for the local / international taste, still very good in combination with the atmosphere.

The smaller dishes are very small and therefore overpriced, service is moderate, quality/taste is rather average.

The food was very fine. We ordered noodle soup with duck. Tastefully. Service very quick and nice. We'll be back when we come to Berlin again.

I had noodles with beef and xiaolongbao, the beef was tender and juicy. The amount is not too much, and also cheap, so you can try different things without having to worry not being able to finish them.

Super tasty and fair in price 👌

Almost €17 for a small portion of chicken with nuts (lazy chicken). Hand-pulled noodles and flavorless dim sum. There are much better Chinese bistros in Berlin, for example a little further north between Senefelder Platz and Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz

The Hainanese chicken rice is great with oil and onions, but I don’t know what’s wrong with the rice. It’s not very tasty. The braised beef noodles are a bit lighter, but still delicious. The fried noodles are delicious😋

Cool atmosphere, good food! A bit stressful but that was also due to our two little companions

I'm so sad that I have to go back to Hanover and can't take these one meter noodle and shao mai with me.

Beautiful interior! Nice and friendly staff! I had Hainanese Chicken Rice. Chicken - 5/5 (stelkar!) Broth - 4/5 (good flavours but missing a lot of salt) Rice - 3/5 (The rice was rather bland and a disappointment. Not sure if they actually boil it in chicken broth. I don't think so.) Sauces - 4/5 (Two of the three sauces were pretty good but I hoped the Sriracha based one would have been something more interesting.) Overall: I will definitely go again to try some more dishes but the rice made me a bit sceptical if this will become a staple for me.

Amazing Chinese @ a great location 👌👌

My girlfriend and I were in the area and decided to have lunch at Ni’s. The decor of the restaurant is amazing and our waitress was very attentive. The food was great and authentic but of course there’s a chef’s individual touch. Highly recommended if you’re in the Hackesche Markt area. Personally I would travel for great food.

As the general trend in Berlin goes, dishes are fairly authentic (and no longer the "Chop Suey" type. I can recommend the eggplant and the xiaolongbao - although they came without the necessary chinese spoon (shaozi). Service was quick, smart and helpful.

A stylish place with delicious dishes and nice staff. It smelled so good of different spices 🤤You feel full after eating

We had a really nice evening in Ni's Restaurant. We came here with friends who have been here before and we were not disappointed. We liked the fact that you can order your own large dishes as well as small dishes to share so that you can feel like you're in China. If you want to share, it's best to grab one of the round tables at the back of the store, where you can rotate the middle part ;-) The location is of course super central between Oranienburger Straße and Hackescher Markt, but the shop still looks a bit inconspicuous from the outside. The food was simply delicious, we didn't have anything we didn't like. We ordered across the menu, from dumplings to green asparagus with water chestnuts to homemade meter noodles. The service was friendly and flexible, we were there on a Friday evening and there was enough space. We were four adults, two children, one dog and were treated very friendly. The prices are OK for the location. The food tastes super fresh, comes quickly and leaves nothing to be desired. The drinks could be a little cheaper, but we don't want to complain here.

I am also Shanghainese and know what the food in my homeland should taste like. But I am so impressed with the food and service here and always enjoy coming with my family and friends.

I've never seen such a disgusting restaurant. The garbage is moldy in the back. Everything is full of bacteria, people smoke in the kitchen. KEEP OFF!!!!! DON'T DO IT

Inauthentic. Vietnamese waiters, Arab chefs

Not perfect, but good for lunch

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to take a photo. I ordered Hainanese chicken rice, fried noodles, hot and sour soup, and red bean double skin milk. Hainanese chicken rice and hot and sour soup were pretty good. The hot and sour soup is also recommended. The red bean double skin milk is relatively average and the quantity is small. Big bad review for oily noodles! Big bad review. I have never seen such thick oily noodles. They are sour, spicy, salty, hard to bite, and the portion is small. Too thick. A large piece of green vegetables with roots in the noodles. Please Chinese people don’t try oil noodles, don’t try it

Delicious food very well priced

I was here for the first time. I sat outside. The food was very, very tasty. The service was very friendly. I will come again.

Super oily, really expensive for the amount of protein you get. Slow service

I was here with friends to have some Chinese food. We ordered three different types of food. The service was friendly and quick. The food was okay but very pricey and nothing special. I know many other places which offer more tasty food for a much lower price. I personally didn't like the atmosphere because it is loud (main Street and lots of Tram passing) but that is my personal opinion.

The food was delicious but you won't get far here with a small wallet. To charge €10 for beef skewers that have minimal ingredients is really steep. Plus, the whole thing is really VERY unappetizing when fruit flies are constantly flying around your nose and you're just trying to avoid accidentally eating one. The whole thing also has something to do with hygiene.

We come here at least once a week to eat the one-meter noodles. It’s sooo yummy that it makes you addicted. Definitely recommend ✌️

Attracted by good reviews and the prospect of tasty xiao long bao in Berlin, we went to Ni's Restaurant. We were there at lunchtime and ordered two dishes from the lunch menu for €8.50 each. We liked them very much and everything was fresh. We also ordered xiao long baos from the normal menu, which we also found very good. The expensive drinks prices are a bit negative, a small cola (0.2l) costs €3.00. The wooden cooking containers could be cleaner in the corners. All in all a good restaurant especially at lunchtime for the cheap prices and the fresh food.

There were many small flying insects near our seats and flying into the food. The attitude of the waiter was also not good. After we entered the store, the people at the table behind us ordered before us and finished eating and left early. My companion and I each ordered a bowl of noodles, and my companion didn't wait for his noodles until I finished eating (about half an hour). I wanted to withdraw but they said no. The fried noodles looked ok but the noodles were very hard which was disappointing.

Unfortunately I only give the restaurant 3 stars. Unfortunately it doesn't live up to the hype. The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor is nice too. The crew was also very nice and now the big drawback. I ordered a Chicken Hainan with Char Siu. This is steamed chicken with grilled pork in char siu marinade. Both dishes were lukewarm (I was surprised why it arrived so quickly). Hainan is normally served with Pak Choi vegetables and cucumbers. Here it was with cucumbers and lettuce. Both types of meat tasted very artificial. I can hardly describe it...it was like having a ready-made marinade or ready-made seasoning. It's not authentic. I also politely told the staff that. I can slowly understand why many Asian users didn't give it a good rating. Unfortunately, some things about the food need to be improved.

Our food (rice dish with beef and pasta dish with pork) came to the table quickly, but the taste was rather average. The young service was present. We were in the restaurant with our baby and a chair was immediately brought out and we were offered a small bowl of pure rice for the child. Any rice that ended up on the floor was swept up with a smile. So we really can't complain about the service. However, what really has a lasting negative impact on the experience here is the lack of cleanliness. The card consists of completely tattered, dirty sheets of paper on a clipboard. A laminator really doesn't cost much and would be more than a good investment. But what's worse are the countless (fruit) flies that accompany you everywhere in the restaurant in large numbers. A little tip: put vinegar and detergent in small glasses overnight and at least a few flies would have fallen into the trap the next morning. Repeat the process until the desired result is achieved. It's really unbearable and extremely unsavory. We won't be coming back again for the time being and hope to give some impetus with our constructive criticism. Thanks!

This trendy Chinese spot is in a great location near Hackescher Markt and has a really modern and hip interior! There's lots of space inside and the owners have made a conscious effort to foster an artistic vibe which we liked a lot! There is a varied menu with a range of dish sizes (and prices), but we found the main page the best bet for what we were looking for which was of course some spicy Chinese noodles! I felt that the wide flat noodles here are really authentic with some high quality chili oil and leaning on a minimalist approach which is really good if you're looking for the real deal. It may not necessarily be your thing if you don't like the simplistic combination of chili oil and noodles, but that said there is plenty on the menu with more of a diverse mix of ingredients, and you can add-on different things. The customer service is generally very good for Berlin. The staff are all quite young and fit in with the trendy, cool style of the restaurant. They pleasingly offered free tap water which will be necessary (or some other drink) because the food is indeed pretty spicy! In summary, it's a stylish and authentic-leaning restaurant in a great location... Check it out!

Super friendly and helpful staff!

The speed was a bit slow. I originally wanted to eat an ice cream before I left, but after waiting for half an hour there was no movement, I couldn't wait any longer and left. The bathroom was not hygienic at all and it was terrible that flying insects were flying all over the toilet.

Amazing food! Great place to sit, nice vibes :) The only downside was that some of the staff was a little grumpy.

worst restaurant I have ever tasted. no taste, deplorable service, almost raw and so on... they made us pay the menu in full (that we almost begun) despite our complaints. to avoid, just disgusting!!!! 😡🤮🤢

Amazong food the one meter noodles are highly recommended! Staff is just perfect as well

The taste was very bad. The service was also poor. There were lots of small insects flying around while we were eating. The pasta was inedible and the salmon was extremely salty. All the bowls were broken and almost hurt my fingers.

I recommend. Very good and aromatic food.

Delicious Hainan Chicken Rice. I lived in Hainan for a long time and that's why I can say: the rice is very good :)

The food was authentic and very good, especially the 1-meter noodle. However, the service could improve a lot.

Absolutely sensational dishes - complex flavours combined in savoury dishes merging sweet, sour, salty and heavenly umami notes. Great experience

Extremely unfriendly and when we have questions, very rude. It's a shame. We were happy

Avoid this place! The service is the worst I have ever experienced. We were already being looked at with annoyance when we entered the restaurant. No hello and no seat. When we asked if we could wait for a table outside, we rolled our eyes and said: yes, but it doesn't get in the way. Nice ;) Ultimately we were sent to a dirty table with the words: "there's something free on the left outside". After 5 minutes, two cards were thrown on the table. No please, no thank you. We got up and left. We can't say anything about the food, but this treatment by the service wasn't working at all!!

I found our waitress to be simply wonderful, friendly, funny and very helpful. Unfortunately, what I didn't like was the chipped dishes. Food was good, would love to come back.

Super nice here. You almost feel like you're somewhere else.

That was better, we had "One Meter Noodle", which only tasted spicy, spring rolls didn't taste any better than go Asia TK ware, cha siu and chicken skewers weren't a highlight either. The highlight was the very attentive service, unfortunately nothing more.

Cute shop and very nice staff. Little waiting time in general and also when eating. The dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) were very tasty and so were the homemade noodles in chicken soup with roast duck (Tang Mian). The meat was good and the noodles too. However, the soup had almost no taste at all. Still very good :) Everything worked well with Neotaste!

alot variation of chinese food but some are cold and salty, takes forever to come, the servers are ok maybe shoud pay attention to where to place a food, plenty of space but landed on my arm :(

The service staff is very bad and rude.

We are tourists and were guests at the restaurant yesterday. Unfortunately, we discovered that both the food and the service were far below our expectations. Our guess is that the good reviews are bought!!! And the bad reviews are real... The food was of poor quality and did not correspond in any way to the description on the menu. Not only was it tasteless, but some of it was served cold. Furthermore, the service was very unfriendly and inattentive. We had the impression that tourists are not appreciated in your restaurant. We had to wait a long time for our order and overall felt badly treated. We are very disappointed and hope that you take this feedback seriously and take measures to improve the quality of food and service so that tourists also feel welcome in your restaurant.

We are very disappointed. So many good reviews but unfortunately fake. Please be careful not to recommend this restaurant to all tourists. Service is catastrophic

We truly enjoyed the food; however, the service and the behavior of the waitstaff were quite disappointing. Despite reading numerous positive reviews, our experience did not meet expectations. The staff seemed preoccupied with their phones and did not engage with us adequately. We waited a considerable amount of time for the receipt after finishing our meal. Regrettably, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming, and the restaurant was nearly empty. Based on this visit, we would hesitate to return.

The food was only moderately good. However, the service was really bad. From start to finish there was no greeting and no thank you. They ask for 10% of the bill as a tip and were very cheeky when they received “only” €5. My three year old child and I ordered two dishes. Due to a misunderstanding, the waitress accepted three dishes. We ended up accepting and paying for it despite initially mentioning this as she started arguing about it rather than admitting the misunderstanding. I also find it completely unprofessional that she didn't ask, confirm or be surprised when she took the order. The worst thing was that the waitress was very rude and unfriendly.

weird service (all the food came very fast for one person but not for the other, drinks came 10 minutes later), good food

Service was weak; Lazy hot chicken was very, very spicy, the beef was not very tender and unfortunately the sauce was not used. Unfortunately we weren't so satisfied - also price-performance...

We were really looking forward to a meal at Nies on a very hot summer day. The food was good and we ordered two main courses, a starter and drinks. Of course, due to the heat, we were extra thirsty and asked for tap water. Unfortunately we were charged one euro per glass for this. It is very disappointing that a restaurant would try to rip off their customers in this way. In the long term, this may not be worth it and it is a shame if people are not offered free water in the heat. This experience marred our visit to Nies and it is truly unfortunate that we were treated this way. Of course, I also feel sorry for the waitresses who have to deliver such news for their greedy boss.

Very tasty food, served lovingly. Friendly service.

Summary: ok dishes, inattentive service, fair price value Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): + zha jiang Mian: best dish today; well-rounded flavor - xiao long bao: soup dumplings but the broth was lacking inside; the skin tears; the flavor is ok + beef dumplings: good + chicken dumplings: good - pork dumplings: boring and slightly sour meat - cucumber: more like fermented European style cucumbers than traditional Asian cucumbers; only sour, no spice, no garlic Service: - I had to get up three times to get a knife, the bill and order more food; we would have ordered more drinks if some were available Price: - fair €60 for 3 people and dishes mentioned Atmosphere: + ok modern interior - can’t sit a low tables because a beam is under the table - disgusting smelly bathroom

Very bad, a noodle soup without any criteria, ingredients thrown in water without flavor or cooking or stew and not even correct, flat, tasteless and insulting since taking the entire plate with the appropriate explanation they have not had the deference of not charging or subtract something from the amount. Not recommended!!! Very expensive to not taste like anything. Rating 0.

Let’s talk about the food first. The hot and sour soup and red bean and coconut custard are quite good. The big soup dumplings are useless. I think Hainanese chicken rice is a more disappointing dish. The sauce for dipping is actually good, but the chicken is hot. When it came, the chicken skin was not chewy. The most important thing was that the rice that came with it was really dry. Although it came with soup, it really didn't feel very delicious. The service was the most disappointing aspect. First of all, there were no cutlery on the table. When the food was served, the waiter didn't give it to me, but gave it to me after I asked. The dishes were served in no order, with desserts being served first. Then two waiters came to me and asked me if I could listen to one of them speak, which turned out to be "I am a eunuch" and asked me what that meant. I personally think this is a very disrespectful behavior in a dining setting. The overall dining environment is relatively ordinary. The food quality can be said to be partly good and partly disappointing, but the service is really not good.

The peanut noodles, soup dumplings, so good!

It tastes terrible. The oily noodles are half a centimeter thick? The beef cubes tasted indescribable and inedible. There are a lot of flies in the restaurant...

Loved the 1m Noodles, topped it with Mushrooms and Tofu

I've tried delivery before, but this was my first time visiting the store. The interior is cute and comfortable. I went at a late lunch hour, and it was nice that the store was large and had lots of seating. The staff was friendly and the food came out really quickly! I ordered 1m noodles, black bean noodles, xiao long bao, and fried eggplant. Everything is delicious! I usually eat salty food, but it's a bit salty haha. Strangely enough, the one I ate through delivery tasted better. Overall, everything is fine! I recommend eggplant! Next time I come, I'll try a different menu.

Food tastes good, unfortunately almost all of the cutlery was a bit dirty :( I'll check next time if they're clean :)

Unfortunately, the food wasn't really great. Service mediocre. Unfortunately I can't recommend it. Bad choice for vegetarians!

I was really looking forward to the food, I was especially curious about the noodles. I went first by myself to test the restaurant. Service was nice but it took forever. It took 15 minutes to order and then another 30 minutes until the food was served. The noodles didn't really convince me; there are many other trendy noodle specialists in Berlin who do a much better job. For me the noodles were too thick, twisted and hard in places, so not really elongated. But I found the sauce good and the spiciness pleasant. The next day I thought we'd give the place another chance for a team lunch. Service for a group of 5 people was very bad - rice came first, then thin noodles, the veggi roll, 1M noodles and my dish was still not there 30 minutes after the first dish was served. It wasn't easy to get attention from the service and my food only came when everyone else had already eaten. (The store wasn't particularly busy, already after lunchtime). So definitely not recommended for groups on their lunch break who have to get back to their appointments on time or who would like to eat together. But what is really okay are the prices, an inexpensive solution for the lunch break.

Food very good, service could be improved greatly. Good price - also highly recommended with NeoTaste. The One Meter Nodle variants are super delicious 👍🏻🤝🏼

Very good food and great service I came here by chance and it was the right choice. The menu has a lot to offer, from homemade noodles to dumplings to steamed dumplings, everything is there. I'll definitely try out the rest of the menu later.

Impressive interior design with amazing food
