About this spot
Cha For Tee delivers authentic Cantonese flavors in the heart of Kreuzberg, where the kitchen specializes in steamed dim sum and crispy stir-fries that defy typical German expectations. Locals flock here for the house-made char siu pork belly, which is glazed to a perfect mahogany sheen and served with fragrant jasmine rice.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the har gow early as the dumpling master often runs out of fresh shrimp paste before closing.
- Ask for your dishes to be cooked 'qing yao' (dry stir-fry) if you prefer less sauce pooling at the bottom of the bowl.
- Save room for the sweet sesame balls, which are best enjoyed warm and slightly crispy on the outside.
