This unusual Chinese restaurant is known for its patron Mr. Wu, a great connoisseur of German wines, who is happy to recommend what goes well with the intense flavours of Sichuan cuisine.

Eisenzahnstraße 66, 10709 Berlin, Germany

Exclusive Chinese fine dining restaurant in Wedding with less than ten seats arranged in a circle. The intimate circle of guests is spoiled with high-quality dishes and great drinks.

Sprengelstraße 15, 13353 Berlin, Germany

A quiet oasis of intimate indulgence: there is room for just twelve guests at Sooyeon Choi's kitchen counter, where she offers three different Korean menus: with meat, seafood or vegetarian.

Fehrbelliner Straße 4, 10119 Berlin, Germany

Bini Lee and José Miranda Morillo are an unusual couple. The Korean opera singer and the Spanish chef combine the cuisines of their home countries to create wonderful menus, often with music.

Eberswalder Straße 35, 10437 Berlin, Germany

Thai "family style" dining: all dishes are placed in the middle of the table, everyone tries everything. Only fair given the great aromatic cuisine of Dalad Kambhu.

Lützowstraße 81, 10785 Berlin, Germany

Chef Monay Keawmali used to work at Khwan around the corner. Because he wanted to make fewer compromises, he now cooks his own food: fresh, authentic Thai, inventive and definitely savoury.

Krossener Straße 15, 10245 Berlin, Germany

Simple restaurant with slightly hectic service and all the tastier specialities from northern China. We recommend the gongbao chicken or beef with cumin, accompanied by a Riesling. Special occasions can be celebrated at the traditional turntable.

Goebenstraße 23, 10783 Berlin, Germany

Sometimes you have to wait a little before you can try the hippest Shanghai noodles in Berlin. Ash Lee prepares her own variations on traditional dishes, based on the spiced chili oil from her home city.

Reichenberger Straße 35, 10999 Berlin, Germany

The hippest store in town serves hand-pulled "Biang Biang" noodles with chilli oil and presents its gastronomy through a glass kitchen. Queuing is hard to avoid, the atmosphere more for a quick meal. Highlights include eggplant or lamb noodles.

Schönhauser Allee 65, 10437 Berlin, Germany

Queues tend to form in front of the store with its striking neon red logo at weekends. In the hip industrial chic with aluminum walls and beverage crates, they offer one of the best Korean BBQs in the city. For non-grillers, there's Bibimbap or Tteokbokki.
