Wen Cheng Görlitzer

Hand-pulled biang biang noodles on Spreewaldplatz, with a garden under trees right by Görlitzer Park.

Wen Cheng started on Schönhauser Allee in 2021, founded by brothers Rui and Peng Gao and named after a dialect from Zhejiang province that their mother speaks. On Spreewaldplatz, right by Görlitzer Park, is Wen Cheng 4, with a garden and terrace.

Here too the kitchen is open: you watch the biang biang noodles being pulled by hand and hear the chilli oil sizzle. In summer you sit in the garden under trees, in winter inside over warm bowls. The noodles come with beef, cumin lamb, tofu, aubergine with vegan mince or orange chicken, crisp chicken pieces in a sweet-and-sour orange sauce. There are also bao with fried chicken or tofu, chicken and cabbage dumplings and cucumber salad. Every dish is mildly spicy, and on request it gets properly hot. No reservations.
