DongWu Chinese Kitchen 东吴廖李 Oststraße in Düsseldorf

Guests are not allowed to bring their own beverages

Amazing food and staff was very friendly. Inside is also very nice and not sensory overload.

One of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to so far. Spontaneously got a seat on Valentine's Day, the staff was friendly, the food was prepared quickly and was incredibly tasty. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the fried pork. The price is also totally right in my opinion. (visited on February 14, 2025)

The noodles were really great – thick, al dente and packed with minced meat and creamy chickpeas. The spiciness was just right, simply delicious! I also tried the “bing dou hua” for dessert. The consistency was a little different than I expected, maybe it could be a little smoother. But overall a really great experience, great service - I'll definitely be back! :)

Almost all dishes here contain Sichuan pepper. The spicy noodle soup was good, chewy noodles and beef tender. But you have to be a fan of Sichuan Pepper to like it. Service is friendly. Unfortunately, toilets aren't that great.

A great place to unwind, traditional cuisine very tasty 😋 The homemade hot sauce is highly recommended, very tasty. I went there with a Vietnamese guy and he loved it.

Very tasty and authentic southern Chinese food. Not too spicy even for a European palate

Absolutely great food, interesting Sichuan cuisine. Beef is unfortunately tough, chicken and co co tofu are highly recommended. Unfortunately, not all dishes can be found online, but only on the attached menu on site. Conflicting information on Google Maps and the website as to whether it opens on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. or 12 p.m. Unfortunately payment with Amex is not possible.

Sichuan cuisine as it should be. All pasta dishes are authentic and fantastic. Attention - don't overestimate the level of spiciness for German tastes. 30% is completely sufficient.

My favorite authentic Chinese restaurant in Düsseldorf. Not to be compared with the fress temples of westernized Chinese cuisine. Especially if you like it spicy (but be careful! :-)), you've come to the right place.

Dumplings in chilli oil soup were good. Broth can be made a little less oily if possible. It's definitely tasty, though!!

Simply good, tasty Sichuan-style food that is prepared quickly and arrives hot on the table! The cramped seating situation with the dividing glasses doesn't stop me from giving it 5 stars overall, but it does give a slight negative in terms of ambience.

You can select the level of spiciness here. For us, 1 chili corresponds to “spicy” so it’s not too hot. You can slowly work your way up😅 but highly recommended and something different between all the ramen and sushi shops😉🌶️🌶️🌶️

Original Chongqing Chinese food. I always go there if I don't have something special wants to eat. The food is taste, the potion is big enough, the stuffs are nice, and the price are very fair, place is clean and located in the downtown. Sooooooo 5 stars for sure 😊

Amazing and totally worth it! They can make spicy foods and I would love to come back for the amazing foods and culinary experience 🥰

Be informed that most likely you'll need to wait for a available table as it's pretty busy. Overall very good place, recommend for 100%. We're there by chance and will be again if visit Düsseldorf.

Food was extremely tasty, didn't take long even though it was relatively full, very filling, super nice people, I'll definitely go there again. Price was also good for the portion

Some of the best Chinese food I ever had. Spice flavor and heat were perfect, amazing fried rice, veggies, dumplings, etc.etc…

The menu that is in English does not have all the dishes. The spiciness level is very high even if you order the lowest. The taste is nothing special. The service is very rushed, I hadn't finished my drink yet and they had already sent someone else to sit at my table.

Very nice and authentic Chongqing cuisine! Very authentic Chongqing flavor!

The restaurant was bigger than expected, so it didn't take long to get a seat without a reservation on a weekend. We ordered two main dishes and a side dish. The side dish came very quickly. The first main dish arrived quickly as well, but the second came much later. Therefore, the first main dish was already cold. Except for that, the food was delicious, and it is nice that it is possible to adjust the spice level. The flavours were very complex, so all in all, a good place to eat.

Had a great dinner here. The noodle soup as well as the starter were great. A good place to eat szechuan food in town.

Food is really a matter of taste. I think it's so much oil.

As a Sichuanese, our family comes to Soochow at least twice a month. It’s really authentic (don’t compare it to the ones in Chengdu and Chongqing, as conditions are limited after all) and it’s spicy enough. Our family’s favorites are red oil noodles, beef noodles, Yibin noodles, and Bangbang chicken. It’s really not the best. Step on thunder

Nice food. Authentic but spice adjusted.

The noodles are average, the handwriting is average, and the toilet floor is so oily that I almost slipped.

Very good Chinese snack. I was in the first restaurant on Kaiserstrasse years ago and had forgotten how good the dishes were. The soups are very rich and the level of spiciness can be varied as desired (if you like, you can eat very spicy here!). We also had fried pork belly (in breading) and sour-spicy potato strips.

We came across DongWu by chance and would love to come back! Very tasty dishes at a fair price, the staff is friendly, the restaurant including the toilets is very clean. What more could you want? ;)

DongWu is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Düsseldorf. This is a restaurant dedicated to Szechuan cuisine. Szechuan promises spicy dishes! 
But Sichuan spicy has nothing to do with the spiciness of other countries (Mexico, Thailand or curry stalls). Sichuan sharpness is a revelation.
If you don't trust the spiciness, you should order the dishes without spiciness and ask to be allowed to season them yourself. If you really want to know and taste what flavor these wonderful soups bring, order them without spiciness and slowly approach the seasoning. The wonton dishes are an absolute highlight and if you really want to know, order number 102 “秘制钵钵水煮牛肉 Bowl Bowl Beef”, a truly gigantic portion with a level of spiciness of 3 🌶️🌶️🌶️. You can't do this portion alone. So take the rest home with you!
 The DongWu is a true pearl! If I'm sick or need strength, that's where I get it!

Food was nice but service was poor. My order was forgotten and it seemed to be i am not the only one. Several tables have their order forgotten during that shift. I asked if my order is still in processing then they started making my food. In total i had to wait for 40mim for simple noodle soup. Already ruined my mood but started eating. After 10min, staff approach me and say they are closing but i have 5more minute to eat… At this point i was so mad and completely killed my appetite. Food was nice but service was so poor enough to make me ignore that fact. Also when we entered the restaurant, the staff approached me and speaking Chinese. I am not Chinese and do not speak Chinese. This happens so often in asian restaurants. Chinese staffs working at asian restaurants should know that not all asian looking people are Chinese.

Premade noodles are not recommended. Low value for money and expensive drinks. Pay attention to hygiene.

Taste and authenticity tastes ambience! If you are looking for authentic Szechuan cuisine, you should stop here. Insanely delicious food. Not necessarily many vegan options, but they are there. Warning: The food is very spicy. Be careful. If you see 3 chillies, then we're not talking about German standards here!

The sushi and the starters are really tasty but misu soup was just subpar, had hardly any taste and the pork was more of a shoe sole.

The food is authentic Chinese. You especially feel it when you order something spicy. They take that seriously. Wouldn't recommend going above "two chili's" as a spice level. The food is amazing and the prices are so worth it. The service is nice they take a lot of time to advise you if you have questions :)

Very tasty food. Friendly service. What more could you want?

Shushi was not tasty, neither was the service good. It is quite cheap, but we were over charged for one dish and an extra drink.

If you like good spicy flavours, this is a must try. First time so took the medium level, noodles were good and the soup very flavourful. I look forward to another dish here again.

The food is very tasty and also authentic. You can choose spiciness and noodle type. The service was very friendly and gave good advice

Very very tasty! Highly recommended...!

Such a delicious meal....ban ban ji.... wooooow!... mega duck too They can make sauces!!! Go and understand...

Always great food, very authentic with the option for lighter seasoning for those who prefer mild. A regular go to No pictures- we ate too fast for that!

Bad service. Ok taste food. Price .... it's Ok

Will probably be one of my go to restaurants! Super tasty food - we tried a number of soups. All of them tasted amazing. The dessert was totally strange but somehow cool too :D We had a very interesting conversation with Sebastian and the other staff were very nice

Simply 10/10. Super authentic cuisine and not European at all. Very strong taste and the noodles were homemade too. We will definitely come more often.

On the advice of the very courteous employee, we decided on spiciness level 2, even though we often eat spicy food and by that I don't mean spicy food in German restaurants. It was a good decision... The sharpness was perfect for us. A small outbreak of sweat, a tingling sensation in the mouth and an exhilarating feeling that spreads to the whole body. The Ma pao dou fu was super delicious!! We talked to the service about the menu and received some good tips for our next visit. The trip from Cologne was worth it. Yummy!

I went to a store that I often went to last year, but I didn’t go back for more than half a year after eating it and causing hair loss. For the same dish, the quantity is much smaller now than last year.

I ordered a bowl of noodles for 13.2 euros. There are a few pickles, a green vegetable, and a few chopstick noodles inside. As for the taste? I think any Chinese woman over 30 years old can make it.

Delicious spicy szechuan kitchen with a great selection of tasty treats. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. No need to make a reservation in this hidden gem.

Like being in China. Chose the 4 Chilis and you are in heaven. I loved it.

Wow really recommend if you truly want to eat spicy and authentic Chinese food. Food was really delicious and you can choose the soup base, noodles and spice level when you order noodle soups. Service was also super friendly

I was in the restaurant for the first time today. I ordered a noodle soup with 100% spiciness and fried sardines. Both were very good. You should REALLY take the hotness thing seriously. Just right for me (I only know two restaurants that have more spiciness), but certainly not for everyone. But you can choose the level of spiciness. If you are only used to the pseudo-Chinese “glutamate temple” for German tastes, you should order this without the spiciness. I've never been to China, but when you're there, you really appreciate 5,000 years of culinary tradition. Ordering from one of the servers was a bit difficult due to her lack of knowledge of German, but it went well in English. Your colleague speaks German perfectly, well on average. Both very polite. The price is rather high, but nothing that stands out negatively on Oststrasse/Immermannstrasse. The price is justified considering the environment and quality. Repeat very safely.

Authentic and incredibly delicious Chinese cuisine. As a real insider tip for Immermannstrasse and the surrounding area, this fine restaurant, alongside many overcrowded and absolutely mediocre restaurants, unfortunately misses out on many Düsseldorf residents and visitors. You don't rip off guests with inferior ingredients just because they don't know the original taste. The fact that the restaurant is always busy with Chinese people speaks volumes. Absolutely recommended!!

Nice little shop. The service was really nice and not intrusive. Prices are slightly high, but the food was really very good. So we'd love to come back!

Super delicious food, authentic and friendly staff. The ambience is a bit bland, but the food is definitely convincing

The dish that was not cooked at all was said to be cooked. We don’t lack the money for this dish, but the business is so bad. I am really speechless...the attitude is also very bad. When asked for a tissue, I said you can go to the bar to get it...the taste is average.

The taste is okay but the portion is small and the price is not low The girl even added noodles once and was still not full. Drink Coke because you are full of gas.

Mega delicious, and clearly made with quality ingredients

My former girlfriend was Chinese and took me there for the authentic Chinese food. The food was super delicious! Level of spiciness 2-3 is good (we're both good at spiciness, but be careful about what level you order). The staff was also very friendly and attentive. Prices are fair within the scope of what you normally pay everywhere these days. Since then, I have always recommended it to friends and acquaintances and have always received happy feedback!

I do not often give 5 stars but this restaurant fully deserves it. Very authentic and tasty food. I can recommend it to anybody visiting Düsseldorf.

If you are in Düsseldorf, make sure to go here! No matter if you like it spicy (like, REALLY spicy) or not, they have something for everyone, and boy, is their food delicious! I can’t stop thinking about it. I would recommend to order a couple of dishes and share them, because you really should not miss out on any of them! The service itself is okay - not overly friendly, not rude, so nothing to complain about.

Delicious. And spicy without discussions. We haggle over every Scoville. You won't find Szechuan pepper. Drive 60km (one way) to enjoy the food. Thanks to the team. Xie Xie ni Was there again on April 3rd, 2024. Food very tasty as always. There are now also beer with revolutions 😉 I'll definitely be back. Sharpness 100% in combination with hua jiao is perfect. Many thanks to the team I love the food mala, but except in Essen (where there is a restaurant that serves Mapo Tofu and La Zi Ji) it looks bad

Very nice service. Very tasty food. Also goes vegetarian.

Delicious and authentic Chinese food! Happy to come back :)

The food is outstanding! One of my favorite restaurants in Düsseldorf...if you like it spicy, this is the place for you!

Super tasty, we'll be back! But you should arrive early or make a reservation

Great little restaurant. Great service and really delicious food. You should just pay attention to the spiciness when ordering.

Very authentic Chongqing noodles, full marks💯

Very delicious food and quality service

Delicious and inexpensive Chinese food, also to take away. Tastes very authentic and fresh.

The food here is truly amazing! Authentic Chinese Cuisine with a lot of variety and fairly priced. The spicy beef noodles were 10/10. tender meat, chewy noodles and spicy broth are the perfect combination! I will definitely be back again!

Proper spicy Chinese cuisine. Top.

We haven't eaten such good MaPoDoufu in a long time...the spices are just amazing and if you need it, you can have the western version for more spiciness.

Wow! Admittedly, I had never tried this type of cuisine from China. Just sheer madness! Not for people who can't tolerate spicy food! The Dan Dan Mian are an absolute must!

Food is good and staff are very friendly.

Authentic taste, we had Wanzamian and Yibin Burning Noodles, both were good.

It was probably the yummiest, the best the most authentic Chinese (Shichuan) Foods i‘ve ever tasted here in Germany😭 I was so in love with every dishes i‘ve tried here, like i barely eat my whole plates, but here i finished literally everything! I had the spicy dumpling soup (9.5/10) the sauce, the dumplings, everything was amazing. And then jelly ear (9/10) it was also lovely, made it simple but very nice. And the cold cucumber chicken salad (9,2/10) again i‘m loving it! Overall i could give 9,5/10 to this place, the place isn‘t that big but it makes it even better and cozier, the kitchen is open so you can see them cooking your foods. I definitely recommend and will come back anytime!

February 8th, 2024 at around 2:30 p.m. 0/5 stars. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the food and also the service. We only read good things on the internet and that's why we came to the restaurant with great pleasure. Unfortunately the food wasn't tasty at all. The noodle soup and the rest of the food were littered with oil and spices that were not processed well. It was really, really hard to enjoy. We also ordered chicken feet, which were served to us raw and cold and were more than inedible. Normally these are served warm, which was not the case in this case. We therefore hardly touched them and reported this to the waitress immediately. But she was very indifferent and refused to take it off the bill. Which I personally find to be very customer-unfriendly. I am really deeply disappointed and cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. You get rid of your money, but in the end you are unhappy and have done nothing good for yourself. Absolutely not recommended.

Very tasty authentic Szechuan cuisine, nice, helpful staff and fair prices, I will definitely come back to try out the diverse menu 😋

Very good, looks spicy but I ordered the 🌶️ 🌶️ and was not too spicy and good But the soup might not be too healthy because has a lot of oil

officially the best noodle in town. very spicy, 40-60% level was enough for me. Spicier than that would have not been enjoyable. Would love to have more soupless noodle options!

Authentic Chinese food. Awesome service and very clean environment. If you are looking for real Chinese food, quick, clean and comfortable environment. Try this restaurant and you won't regret.

Sehr authentisch und lecker wie in China. Wan za Nudeln und Hongyou chaoshou(Wantan) sind meine Favoriten. 30%Schärfe ist meiner Meinung nach ausreichend.

每次来杜塞都会吃的一家～点了担担面，肥肠面，小酥肉，棒棒鸡，回锅肉。非常优秀～爱吃麻辣的千万别错过。我很喜欢担担面，汤底又辣又香。孩子们对小酥肉和棒棒鸡赞不绝口。必须满分💯！

My favourite go-to place for delicious authentic Sichuan noods in Düsseldorf! My personal favourite is the spicy noodles without broth And I am in love with their crispy pork (酥肉）

Gehört zu den besten Chinesischen Restaurants in Düsseldorf! Wenn nicht sogar das beste. Der Service war sehr nett und aufmerksam. Das Essen war eine 10 von 10!! Extrem leckeres Essen. Die selbst gemachten Nudeln haben die perfekte Konsistenz. Alles war sehr gut gewürzt.

"Exotische Geschmacksexplosion im Dongwu Restaurant" Ich hatte das Vergnügen, das Dongwu Restaurant zu besuchen und war von der exquisiten kulinarischen Erfahrung beeindruckt. Die Atmosphäre war okay, mit einem Hauch von traditionellem chinesischen Flair. Das Menü bot eine breite Auswahl an Gerichten. Jeder Bissen war eine wahre Geschmacksexplosion. Die Qualität der Zutaten und die meisterhafte Zubereitung zeugten von einem hohen kulinarischen Standard. Die Geschmackskombinationen waren harmonisch und sorgten für eine unvergessliche Gaumenfreude. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich, und das Personal konnte Empfehlungen aussprechen, die den persönlichen Geschmack perfekt trafen. Die angenehme Bedienung trug dazu bei, dass der Besuch zu einem rundum gelungenen Erlebnis wurde. Insgesamt war mein Besuch im Dongwu Restaurant eine kulinarische Entdeckungsreise, die ich jedem empfehlen kann, der nach einer einzigartigen und geschmackvollen Erfahrung sucht. Ich freue mich bereits darauf, wiederzukommen und weitere Gerichte dieser ausgezeichneten Küche zu probieren.

Ich war hier schon einige Male und liebe dieses Restaurant. Das Essen ist sehr gut und frisch. Ich habe noch nirgendwo so lecker chinesisch gegessen

Essen ist gut und Portionen sind groß.

The food is very good and well served, the waiters are extremely nice and open to help you in choosing the best dish. They also do not rush in sending you out to free the table for the next round. Super recommended!

Preis Leistungsverhältnis top, große Portionen

Unglaublich leckeres Essen! Schärfegrad 1 ist schon ordentlich scharf, also lieber erstmal damit starten und auf jeden fall die Erdnussmilch probieren! 😍

Einfach nur großartig! Sehr leckeres Essen, große Portionen, preiswert, sehr sauber, freundliche Mitarbeitende!

Unglaublich lecker 😍 hatte die Ente mit Soja - Wahnsinn 🎉 und super nettes Team

Super lecker. Gute Portionen super netto Bedienung. Einfach klasse genauso wie das dong wu auf der kaiserstr. Beefbowl könnte noch etwas scharfer sein. Einfach super weiter so

Die Nudeln sind selbstgemacht und wirklich gut. Scharf ist hier wirklich scharf, es wird aber zur Sicherheit auch noch mal nachgefragt.

Bin hier oft essen. Ist einfach sehr lecker und günstig. Personal freundlich, Kartenzahlung möglich, aber ab 20€.

We loved this Chinese restaurant. I was craving for fried rice. We also ordered the duck and wonton soup mild spicy.

Echt leckeres chinesische Nudel. Es ist etwa besonders. Sehr gerne wieder!

War heute wieder lecker und original Chinesisch! Wer es nicht so scharf mag, sollte das der immer netten Bedienung besser rechtzeitig sagen.

味道很不错 可以吃到国内的辣 非常正宗 希望成为杜塞中国人的takumi 成为杜塞中国面馆传奇 提个建议就是希望菜单可以有更新 尤其面类 也可以搞一些积点卡 还有可以内部墙面装潢多些对于四川辛辣美食的介绍宣传 以及一些社交媒体的宣传 做本地化发展
