The Asian Dating App for Berlin
Last updated
Berlin has one of Europe's largest Vietnamese communities alongside a constant flow of students, artists, and tech workers from across Asia. Krush helps you meet Asian singles across the city.
The local dating scene
Berlin's Asian community has two distinct halves — Vietnamese families with roots in both the former East and West, and a large, transient international population drawn by the city's cheap rents, art scene, and startups. Kantstraße in Charlottenburg is the established Asian food corridor, the Dong Xuan Center in Lichtenberg is a Vietnamese wholesale and community hub, and Neukölln and Kreuzberg carry the younger international crowd.
The local community
Berlin's Vietnamese community is one of the largest in Europe, with distinct histories from contract workers in the former East and refugees in the West. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Indian, and Thai communities are also well represented, and the city hosts a large international student and creative population.

Students & campus communities
Berlin's three major universities are all tuition-free and heavily international, which draws large cohorts from China, India, Korea, and across Southeast Asia — particularly into computer science, engineering, and the humanities. Student life spreads across the city rather than clustering on campus, running through Neukölln and Kreuzberg bars, Kantstraße restaurants, and the club scene. Berlin runs substantially in English among younger internationals, which lowers the barrier for new arrivals. Krush puts languages on every profile, which matters here.

Frequently asked questions
Where do people meet Asian singles in Berlin?
Kantstraße in Charlottenburg is the established Asian food corridor and the closest thing to a Chinatown. Neukölln and Kreuzberg carry the younger international scene, and the Dong Xuan Center in Lichtenberg is the heart of Vietnamese community life.
Is Krush free in Berlin?
Yes — Krush is free to download and use across Berlin on iOS and Android.
Do I need German to date in Berlin?
Less than in any other German city. Berlin's international scene runs substantially in English, particularly among students and tech workers. Krush lists the languages someone speaks and is learning, so you can match on a shared one and practise German if you want to.
Does Berlin have a large Vietnamese community?
One of the largest in Europe, and unusual in having two separate origins — contract workers who came to East Germany and refugees who arrived in the West. The community is now multi-generational, centred on Lichtenberg and Marzahn.
Will Krush match me across Berlin?
Yes, and a fairly wide radius is realistic. The U-Bahn and S-Bahn cover the city thoroughly, so a match from Neukölln to Charlottenburg is a straightforward journey rather than a whole evening.
