  If you're on the hunt for seriously spicy delights🍜, Cài Kitchen is the place to be! For an authentic and affordable taste of vegan🥗Szechuan cuisine, Cài Kitchen in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district is a must-visit. With creative dishes and a laid-back vibe, it comes highly recommended for a flavorful dining experience. 🏠Ambience: While the space at Cài Kitchen is cozy and inviting, it's worth noting that seating is limited, especially during the colder months when indoor seating is preferred. However, the friendly staff and chill atmosphere make up for any potential crowding. Adding soft background music could enhance the overall dining experience, but even without it, the ambiance remains relaxed and welcoming. 🍝Food: The menu may be small, but each dish is packed with flavor and creativity. We opted for the mixed rice bowl, expecting a simple dish of veggies and rice, but were pleasantly surprised by the explosion of flavors in every bite. And if you're a fan of heat, the gemüse dumplings are a must-try; they're incredibly spicy and pair perfectly with the lighter spiciness of the mixed rice bowl. For those seeking a sweet-tangy spicy option, the marinated udon noodles in TianShui style sauce provide a satisfyingly spicy twist on a classic dish. 💰Price: With reasonable prices and a menu that won't break the bank, Cài Kitchen is the perfect spot for a delicious yet affordable meal.

  Food was great! The indoor space was simple, a handful of tables, order and pay up front. Delicious noodle soup, two chilis meant it was a nice level of spicy for me - a mild heat but not unbearable.

  I like the concept (vegan regional Chinese food 😍), atmosphere and service.. but I do wish I liked the food more. I had the Dan Dan noodles and potato dumplings, both of which I think were fine, but not outstanding. Portions are pretty small, but the prices are reasonable for me given the location and specialty. For the Dan Dan noodles, I thought the noodles, vegetables and crispy bits were good, but there was a strange aftertaste I didn't enjoy that I think came from the soy "meat". The dumplings felt very fusion to me, almost more like perogis..? In my opinion, the sauce was not spicy enough for the richness (from the sesame sauce and not-so-hot chilli oil).

  An absolute delight for people craving spicy and tasty food! Dishes tried: - Very spice peanuts udon noodle, Mixed rice bowl - Mixed vegetable dumplings with chopped chilis and Sichuan pepper sauce (Liked it so much that we ordered it again) - Mixed rice bowl (You can ask for extra chili paste and they will gladly provide it. It goes very well with it.) One of the "real spicy" meals we've had in Germany. Other: - Friendly staff - Quick service - Dishes are a little pricy for the quantity provided - Located on the main road. Accessible by public transport U Bahn.

  I ordered some food to go and wow, was it good. I had both dumpling styles (veggie & potato) and also the polenta with fermented black beans. I'm eager to come back and dine in so I can try more, especially the noodle dishes.
