Once one of Berlin's edgier neighborhoods, Prenzlauer Berg has become more of a food destination over the years, as it's welcomed an ongoing influx of creative professionals and new families with young children. Many of the restaurants here are well-established stalwarts, with a loyal clientele. Newcomers are just as likely to offer large, welcoming spaces, but have friendlier service, and more international menus.
Although there's a full menu of Chinese dishes at this nondescript local favorite, it's the jiaozi you want: juicy, perfectly wrapped dumplings with vegetable, pork, or lamb fillings, to be dipped in a sour black vinegar and spicy chili paste. Start with addictive appetizers like tofu with crispy shrimp, cucumber with garlic, or Kaofu—silky tofu skins with bean sprouts and soybean—then dive into the dumplings, which can be ordered in batches of 20 or 40.
