In Charlottenburg, along Kantstraße, Aroma stands as the Cantonese dim sum address that Berlin keeps voting among the city's best.
The dim sum are made in-house, folded and steamed fresh every day — that is the one thing the kitchen treats as non-negotiable. Order the Char Siew Pau and you get the version filled with grilled pork: a detail the menu knows and that guests come back for. Around it runs the wider regional Cantonese repertoire, broad and without any concession to a Western palate. That the Chinese regulars find their own cooking here counts inside the house as the most honest praise.
