Apailon is a modern Chinese eatery in the heart of West Berlin, just steps from Kurfürstendamm. We grew up on the flavors of home and wanted to bring them to a city that moves fast. So that's what we do here: real Chinese cooking, made fresh, served quick. Noodle soups simmered slow. Dumplings folded by hand. Rice bowls that actually fill you up.
Nothing here comes out of a bag. We cook with natural ingredients, every day, and we don't use MSG. If a soup takes hours to get right, it takes hours. That's just how it's done. The goal is simple: it should taste like something your mom made, not something a restaurant chain figured out how to mass produce.

✽ What We're Known For
Our classics
Our signature noodle soup is more than a classic noodle soup. It is the centerpiece of our kitchen and a specialty that we prepare with a lot of time, selected ingredients, and our own flavor concept.
The base is a rich, aromatic broth, which is slowly simmered and developed over many hours. A selected combination of various spices and aromatic ingredients gives it its special depth and a complex flavor. It's not about using as many spices as possible, but about giving each individual aroma time to connect with the broth.
In addition, we have our signature beef rib with an extra long bone – carefully selected and slowly braised until the meat becomes particularly tender and easily separates from the bone.
We also make no compromises with our ingredients. Bothbeef ribs and the spices are sourced specifically from specialized gourmet suppliers and not from the usual standard range. Because for a special bowl of noodles, quality begins with the selection of ingredients.
Slowly braised. With selected spices. With special ingredients. With a lot of flavor.
Eine Schüssel für alle, die nicht einfach nur Nudeln essen möchten, sondern etwas Besonderes entdecken wollen.At Apailon, it's all about a good bowl of noodles – aromatic broths, tender ingredients, selected toppings, and Chinese flavors that you won't find on every corner. Each of our noodle soups has its own character and invites you to discover something new.
Our wonton noodles combine fine Chinese noodles with tender wontons and an aromatic broth – light, hearty, and full of delicate flavors. If you like it particularly crispy and intense, you should try our noodles with crispy duck : juicy duck meets crispy skin and aromatic noodles.
A special highlight is our noodles with braised beef made according to our own secret recipe. The beef is slowly braised, resulting in a particularly tender texture and a deeply aromatic seasoning. The exact interplay of our spices remains our little secret.
For those who like it creamy, nutty, and particularly aromatic, we have our noodles with sesame-peanut sauce. A velvety, rich sauce combines with the noodles and provides a completely different taste than a classic noodle soup.
And then there are our hot pot beef noodles – inspired by the strong, spicy flavors of the Chinese hot pot. Intense, aromatic, and with just the right amount of warmth and spice.
Whether hearty broth, tender braised beef, crispy
