A hidden gem of Chinese food

A friend introduced me to this place, otherwise I would have never come up with the idea to look for it. Apparently I have been missing out! The restaurant was packed on Sunday night, but they managed to find us a table for one hour. Their menu is one of the coolest ones: very functional (all dishes have photos and allergens and spiciness are clearly stated) and well designed. We ordered several appetisers: mung bean starch noodles in spicy vinegar sauce (4,50€), smoked tofu (4,90€) and fried xiaolongbao with smoked tofu, carrot and zucchini filling (4,50€), and a side of rice (3,60€). The food was served quickly, so we had enough time. The spicy starch noodles and small dumplings were really tasty! Next time I would have something else instead of the tofu. And I am sure there will be a next time! Lovely place.

Pros: delicious food, nice atmosphere, quick service

Cons: smoked tofu was boring, requires reservation

Great food, but reservations important

This place has great food, I was delighted by all my options. There was so much to choose from! Unfortunately, though, I arrived without a reservation. The staff said they could seat me but I would have a limited time to be there. This was fine, I could manage with what they gave me and even left a little earlier. But clearly it is one of the more popular restaurants so make sure you go with a reservation! It's a cute place though, very pretty.

Great vegan hot pot

We had the hot pot and it was so yummy and perfect for the cold weather. So much food we had to leave some noodles at the end

Tianfuzius is an enrichment for Berlin

Authentic Sichuan restaurant.
I’ve been there two times so far.
I’d always order several starters or small mains and share them with friends.
Extensive menu, daily special’s as well.
Solid service and tasteful interior/decor.
Not the cheapest though!

Authentic and delicious

We visited it because my friend loves spicy food (Asian level of spiciness) and we weren't disappointed. The dandan noodles were pretty intense but we have also ordered mild dishes like spring rolls, guo tie (dumplings) or roasted duck. The spicy chicken was fortunately not too spicy despite being lvl 2 of spice. Other guests asked if the level of spiciness of dishes could be adjusted so give it a try if you really wanna have a certain dish but you're afraid that it's too spicy. Everything was delicious and the waiters were very friendly. As dessert we had some sort of flower broth with sesame mochi and damn, we didn't expect that it is absolutely amazing! You just have to let it sit for a few minutes so that the water and mochi can fully absorb the flavour of the flowers.
Oh and the toilet doors are partly made of old Chinese newspaper. Gave us a good laugh.

Pros: Authentic, Mostly vegan, Has mild options as well

Great Chinese restaurant, especially for vegans

This restaurant is unfortunately not fully vegan, but that's due to only a few choices on the menu that contain some egg. So there's lot of vegan choices available, and they are all really tasty. Also a lot of Chinese people eat here.

Authentic veganized Chinese

This is my family's favorite Chinese restaurant, even though not everyone in the family is vegan or vegetarian! We all love the food here, and it has been a great location for family get-togethers. This place is also friendly towards dogs!

Normally, Chinese food is characterized by meat and seafood, but this restaurant offers a large variety of vegan dishes! There are some items with egg or dairy, so you have to check the labels on the menu! ⚠️

The menu is large and consists of typical Chinese side dishes, main dishes with tofu or mock meat, noodles, rice, dumplings and more. Some dishes are inspired by Sichuan-Chinese cuisine.

Their food is authentic, beautifully garnished and overall very tasty.
I warmly recommend the "hot tofu stew Sichuan-style" and the eggplant Yuxiang-style. Greasy and spicy, but so flavorful!

The restaurant is quite spacious, yet, it's crowded most of the time because it's very popular. The interior consists of Asian-style decorations mixed with German architecture. #Veganuary

Pros: taste good

Cons: usually very crowded

Pretty good

Ordered many dishes to share amongst a group of 4, we enjoyed some of them, a couple were a bit mediocre. Our favorites were an eggplant dish and dumplings. The least favorite was a tofu skin dish and a flat rice noodle dish, both didn't have great flavor. After reading the amazing reviews we were a bit let down but perhaps we were just unlucky with our dish selection.

Simply amazing and authentic

This is not just one of the best (almost) vegan restaurants in Berlin, it's also one of the best Szechuan Chinese restaurants in the city as well. Everything you order has so much flavour, whether or not you go for their spicy dishes. Even the spiciest dishes (level 3) are not overpoweringly hot like you do get sometimes with other cuisines e.g. Indian. You still get to enjoy the flavour and texture of the food while you experience the spice.

Also the staff is courteous, gracious and flexible, which is not always a given in Berlin. :)

Pros: Huge variety of dishes and flavours, Nice ambience, Friendly staff

Cons: Not everything is vegan (wonton soup + cheesecake)

Excellent!!

I’ve been here twice now as the restaurant is absolutely delightful - amazing decor and the overwhelming menu of the many many veg dishes. I also love that you can order “Klein” size so you can have a true sampling of the many dishes that are hard to chose from. Be warned that anything above 1 chili is VERY spicy. It’s definitely a Sichuan spicy not a German spice level. Highly recommend!

Great vegan Szechuan restaurant

There were tons of options and I liked everything I tried. We shared one of the dumpling dishes, an eggplant dish, a cold morel appetizer, and vegan pork belly. It was all really good. Note that spicy dishes are actually relatively spicy unlike some restaurants in Berlin. The atmosphere was also pretty good with nice outdoor seating and there was room for bigger groups also (though I’d recommend a reservation).

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice outdoor seating and plenty of space

Cons: Beware of spicy dishes if you don’t like spice, A little pricey

Really good and authentic

I've been here for a total of 3 times. Every time it's great and with the big menu there's something new to discover every time. I like the Szechuan style dishes the most, especially the spicy ones. The staff is also friendly amd they have good tea. The other drinks are also recommended.

Amazing food and atmosphere!

We went for dinner. I had the lotus prawns and the deep fried vegan duck, in small portions, and my husband got the vegan duck roulade in normal portion. For the small portions you have to add rice as extra, for the big ones is included. Tipp: two small portions make for more than one big one, so I was very full and my husband had to help me finish. We also had tap water and tea, and nori chips as a starter, and in total with was less than 20€ each (they accept cards!).
I don't know why they called one of my dishes prawns because they don't taste like them. But they are so delicious that really it doesn't matter. I wanted my stomach to expand just to eat more!
Definitely recommanded.

Tasty Szechuan food

Ok, I lived in China so I will admit this food is not as spicy as real Szechuan chinese food but it is much more authentic and well spiced than any chinese food I’ve had in Berlin!

The mapo tofu and dumplings are really tasty. Green beans with ginger sauce are also sooo good! The food is well flavored, with a lot of authentic chinese staple foods that I haven’t seen elsewhere in Berlin.


They have my favorite chinese dessert - rice balls full of sesame paste! It was my favorite dessert when living in China.

Many dishes have the Klein portion option (smaller portion) which is nice, so i can get a variety of foods. I will definitely come back!

The service was very friendly.

Fantastic vegan Sichuan food!

There aren't all that many Chinese restaurants in Berlin with authentic Chinese food. Happily, Tianfuzius is an exception. It's not super spicy, but otherwise, the flavors are what I miss from Chengdu. I ate here with two Chinese friends, and another friend who loves Chinese food, and even though I'm the only vegan, we all loved everything we ordered.

The portions were all sizeable. We ordered way too much, and ate too much as we hung out enjoying all of the flavors for over two hours. We took the left-overs home, and my portion lasted me three lunches. This cost us 30 EUR each.

It was very busy for our Friday night 8pm reservation. But the service was good.

The dining areas are interesting in their decor, with lighting that isn't too bright. The acoustics are a bit loud, but not too much for conversation.

I'm definitely going back.

Pros: Fantastic vegan Sichuan food

Mindblowing Szechuan food and fancy spot

The food here is amazing. It's expensive, but amazing., The interior is very fancy and they have a nice terrace, The drinks are good and the service is sometimes excellent and sometimes a bit slow and lacking.

They have hot pots, small tapas-style dishes, and most dishes can be made in big or small portions. Everything I have ever has here has been fantastic. I recommend booking in advance and going with a big group so you can try everything!

They accept card, are nicely situated at Viktoria-Luiz Platz, and have an illustrated menu!

Pros: Quality of food, Beautiful space

Cons: Service sometimes a bit slow

Die Terrasse ist gemütlich und einladend.
Der Service war ebenfalls auffällig gut!
Einfach ein gelungener Abend!!
