Panda Meister Berlin Ostbahnhof — Restaurant in Berlin

If you love dumplings, you need to check out this little kiosk. It’s nothing fancy—just a small spot serving up some seriously good dumplings—but that’s what makes it great. The food speaks for itself.

They offer pork, beef, chicken, and vegan dumplings, all made fresh and packed with flavor. The steamed ones are soft and tender, while the pan-fried ones have that perfect crispy bottom that makes every bite even better. And the best part? They don’t skimp on the filling—it’s always generous and tasty.

But it’s not just the dumplings—the bao zi here is just as good. The buns are soft, fluffy, and filled with juicy, flavorful meat or well-seasoned vegan options. Whether you’re in the mood for something steamed and comforting or crispy and golden, they’ve got you covered.

On top of that, the prices are ridiculously good. You get a solid portion without spending much, which is rare these days. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a quick snack or fill up without feeling guilty about your wallet.

They also have a few sauces on the side—soy sauce, vinegar, and an amazing chili oil that adds just the right kick. Seriously, don’t skip the chili oil.

The only minor downside is that there’s usually a small line, especially around lunchtime. But they’re quick, so even if you have to wait a few minutes, it’s totally worth it.

Bottom line: if you’re craving dumplings or bao zi that are both delicious and affordable, this place is a no-brainer. Simple, tasty, and cheap—what more could...

If you want grab a quick bite or try out Chinese homemade food, look no further than this food truck next to Ostbahnhof. They offer the most typical Chinese dishes: delicious dumplings (jiaozi), filled buns (baozi), noodles, rice and soups. The most popular dishes are beef noodle soup, rice dishes (kungpao chicken or mapo tofu) and vegan dumplings. I would also recommend check out the braised pork rice (lu rou fan)if you are not into chilli. The also sells a great variety of bubble tea 🧋 (however not with brown sugar). I have been to China before, the food here tastes more like Northern Chinese cuisine with vinegar and soy sauce based broth; the dumpling’s skin and shape also look more like those in Beijing.

A Chinese couple runs this food truck since a long time ago. Even though they may appear stressed and speak very fast, they are friendly and will always accommodate to your request. When ordering or picking up food, you should listen carefully because they speak really really fast. Try to choose a dish quickly because their service is also fast and they will ask what you want quickly.

Location-wise, the food truck is located in an area that seems a bit sketchy but quite safe because all food trucks are located there. When exiting Ostbahnhof, go towards the residential side instead of the big boulevard.

All and all, highly...

Panda Meister, this location and people specifically, were the one of the best parts of my entire time spent in Berlin. Truly a hidden gem with kind and excellent people who truly deserve all the business in the world.

The food is definitely authentic, much more than basically every other asian place I’ve been to, and the dishes, especially the fried chili dumplings, were among the best food I ate in the months I was in Berlin. There really is a reason why this place gets crowded at meal times, and the food is really no joke. In addition, the price utilizes is served at definitely makes it one of the best value locations in Berlin.

But beyond just the food, the workers, especially the auntie cooking everything, was extremely warm and kind every time we went. She always had a smile and made my friends and I feel extremely welcome and well received every time we ordered. Chatting with her will definitely be missed!

Overall, this place is one that cannot be missed, especially if you want to experience very very good Chinese food in a nice outdoor seating area thats populated but usually not overcrowded. Enjoy, and thanks again...
