ifang in München

The noodle soup is absolutely amazing—delicious and comes with the option of free refills on noodles for a generous portion. Don’t miss out on the soup; its flavor is truly unparalleled and definitely one of the best you’ll ever taste!

Very nice service staff, I was welcomed despite the lunch break!?! Warmly welcomed and served. Super tasty noodle soup with super tender beef. Thank you !

Yesterday I spontaneously went out for dinner in the early afternoon. I had the Hong Shao noodles with beef and gyoza as a starter The soup is super delicious. Unfortunately the gyoza are from the frozen food store and unfortunately not homemade. I was super full and took the remaining gyoza with me. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a shame that at the actual closing time, cleaning suddenly started between the guests who were still on site. It was like being kicked out and was unpleasant. Unfortunately no 5 stars for these 2 reasons. But definitely recommended. Again, I arrive less than 30 minutes before closing time in the afternoon.

It's excellent, no complaints, go for it without hesitation!

The beef noodles are just the truth! it's worth the wait! As there always is a queue.

My Chinese brothers and sisters make such great food and great service

very heavy food and service really awesome but treat tip like a bomb 12/10

Service is super friendly, you are treated to small free treats right at the door, the food is amazing

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was totally worth it! He's living in Munich but was never here, despite his love for noodles. At Max you wait in the queue (not so long, to be honest) and you get served tea and gyoza! I've never seen this level of customer care before, it makes you feel special and thanked, I loved it. You can see Max making noodles on the spot in the right window, which is absolutely mesmerising. The noodles are nice and chewy and the broth delicate and juicy. The whole team is incredibly skilled and super nice. I love you Max's Beef Noodles ❤️

Excellent value for money for being in the center of Munich. The first courses are excellent and the noodles are freshly prepared. While waiting to enter, the waiters also bring tea and dragon clouds. Highly recommended.

We were waiting in line & about 15 people were in front. Got a seat really quick & the food came right away. It was delicious. Apparently there is only one meal which is vegan, but you can add tofu and seasalad, cucumber salad, and more. During waiting time we got green tea and snacks

Very small shop and usually large crowds, which speaks for the restaurant, so definitely plan for the waiting time. But while you're waiting in line, they're happy to serve you small snacks and tea, all for free. Food was great, the highlight was really the noodles, great quality and taste. The broth and sauces were also great and made the food seem very authentic. Meat was okay, but not that special and with beef you are sometimes unlucky and have a bit more fat, but no blame. Still 5 stars for the food! Staff was super nice, everything went smoothly. We would have liked to tip one or two euros but that was politely declined. Great price! T

A concept that simply works well - when you arrive you are given a piece of paper on which you tick what you want to eat, and for the short waiting time you get hot jasmine tea and shrimp chips on the house. We chose the classic beef soup and the spicy version and were totally thrilled! The portions are really very generous and the taste is simply to die for, the noodles are so good. You can only get drinks if you ask, otherwise no one comes to order. After eating you leave straight away and make room for the next guests. Payment is only possible in cash and tips are politely declined. We paid €34 for two soups, two starters and a drink - great value for money. We'll definitely be back!

I'm sure your food is great. I don't find it cool that pedestrians (like my 4 year old son and I today) are forced to walk on the bike lane because your waiting and clearly inconsiderate customers take up the whole of the path and don't make room. Was exactly the same yesterday...

My favorite restaurant in Munich, amazing food, fair prices, friendly staff. They even give out food when waiting in line.

Really very tasty, the meat broth is really recommended and the spring rolls... All in all super tasty and I will definitely come here more often. I ordered: Noodles with tofu Spring rolls with shrimp Pickled eggs salted beans

Food comes super quickly and tastes very good too. Service is top!

Noodle really tastes good, beef might be not not tender but worths the price, portion is great, waiting time is approximately 20 mins, still manageble, I will recommend this for sure.

Small restaurant in a good location, although there may be a queue. Tea and shrimp chips were offered on the street to shorten the waiting time. It's definitely worth it as the food is very tasty and fresh. Among other things, the pasta is made in-house and you can simply taste it. In addition to the noodle soup with tofu, I also had a lychee spritzer which also tasted very good. Completely satisfied, staff very friendly and also great price.

Hand-made noodles that were kneaded by hand!!!!👍👍 It was very chewy and good haha. I had Chongqing noodles, but personally, the mala-flavored soup that my friend ordered and the first and most basic flavor on the menu were more delicious. Haha the dumplings and fried chicken were also good. ! This is a place I want to visit again next time~~ The staff was very friendly and nice☺️ Professional dough noodle👍 I was impressed!

Although there was a line, the food is delicious!

Everything's great, I've been coming regularly for 2 years☺️

Wholesome & honest restaurant. While waiting in line the owner checked on everyone and brought free tea and snacks (fresh shrimp chips and hot dumplings). Noodles were super fresh and tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend if you have an hour of time in Munich! Cash only!

Great spot for authentic Asian food. Even if you have to wait outside, you will be warmly welcomed with free jasmine tea and/or shrimp chips, thus shortening the waiting time. The price is almost unbeatable for Munich standards. A MUST for every lover of Asian cuisine

Noodle 5 Soup base 2.5 Meat 5 Noodle and soup is refillable 👍🏻

The service staff seemed rushed and not that friendly. However, the food was authentic and delicious.

This is the most wonderful place, months after I’m still thinking about it - best ramen I’ve ever had. Cash only and sometimes a line but so worth it, if you’re alone you usually get called earlier (solo traveller heaven) PLEASE GO!

U kinda understand why they have a que, noodles were just simply perfect !!

Relatively small but super original! Food comes quickly but absolutely overflowing…

Simple and good, unbeatable price, plan for the waiting time

Delicious place))) Cooks quickly, you can watch the process!

Great family restaurant with great service!! The queue in front of it is long, but snacks and drinks keep you happy and it's worth it!!

Max beef noodle soup is to die for and the people there are incredibly nice. It's worth the wait and you're even served tea and snacks. In the end the waiter didn't even want to accept the tip.

If I lived here I'd come every week. Thank you for the kindness and craft. Noodles made my day.

My visit to Max Beef Noodles started with a queue. Here you study the menu in advance and place your order when you enter the restaurant. In the meantime you will be served tea and shrimp chips by the operators. After that everything happens very quickly and it quickly becomes clear that the wait was worth it. The food absolutely convinced me. If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine in Munich at an unbeatable price, you should head to Max Beef Noodles :) I'm already looking forward to my next visit

Service and taste are very good

Delicious Noodles and friendly staff!

Even though I had to wait to get a table, once I was seated, the food came really fast. There's also free tea at the line outside.

Even in the cold night, there was a long line of people. The enthusiastic shop assistants brought water and provided fried chicken in the store to satisfy the customers who were still waiting in line. Customers at the front of the queue are given menus first, allowing them to order in advance. The price of this store is affordable for Munich, and the noodles can be refilled for free. The portion of the noodles is generous, and the texture is smooth and chewy. The braised beef surprised me even more, perfectly presenting the flavor of my hometown in a foreign country. Recommended for those who want to try Chinese ramen, but be patient and wait in line outside.

Despite being packed at noon, the service was fast and friendly. I had the Chongqing Noodles, full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. The portion size is great for the price and the atmosphere is laid back.

The wait wasn’t long, and while we waited, the staff pleasantly surprised us with jasmine tea and potstickers, which was a nice touch. Once seated, the food was truly amazing—the noodles had an exquisite texture that stood out. However, it’s important to note that this is not a traditional sit-down restaurant. The atmosphere felt rushed, and the communal seating made it less comfortable for a leisurely meal. While the food is definitely worth trying, I would recommend doing takeout. Just be aware that the hand-pulled noodles might get soggy and lose some of their appeal. But if you’re up for it, go ahead and take your chances—it’s worth the risk for those fantastic flavors!

Absolutely outstanding Pho 💯 I've been coming here for a long time and I'm always amazed at how delicious the soup is. My favorite are the Mala noodles. The team and the price are also absolutely top 👍🏼

The best noodles I've ever eaten!!!! Super cheap and great service. Not to be missed

The food is amazing! I've never eaten ramen as good as I did there! Prices are absolutely okay and the queue in front of the store says a lot. Unfortunately, you cannot give tips and only cash payments are accepted. Highly recommended!

This is hands down the best noodle restaurant in Europe, and even rivals many in China! We've been coming here many times, and it never disappoints. They serve freshly hand-pulled noodles, and you can watch the noodle master expertly working in the kitchen. The beef soup is perfectly spiced and authentically rich in flavour—we finish every drop every time! The beef is incredibly tender. Their Jiaozi, filled with juicy pork and leek, are another must-try. The prices are very reasonable, and they don’t even accept tips, truly genuine!

Noodles are great. Absolute highlight. The broth lacks some flavor, but the beef is super tender. Service was great, we got drinks while waiting outside and got there pretty quickly despite the queue. Very friendly staff. The ambience is not so “fancy” but it’s simple

All noodles are made by hand, they have really good chilly oil. Long waiting outside but they offer you some tea and rice crisps while you wait.

10/10 local and worth the money, authentic Chinese noodle house tucked away in Munich

Best noodles ever! Homemade broth and noodles for these prices, where else can you get that!

While waiting in line, a worker brought green tea out to everyone waiting, which was delicious! The seating was quick, and the service was even quicker! We sat down and 2 minutes later, our food was there and It was so delicious! 😋 I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area craving noodles! I will be coming back.

The staple restaurant in Munich!

Worth the wait. They even brought tea and dumplings to those waiting in line. We got to see the namesake Max pulling noodles, too. Delicious food and super fast service.

Really good! ! The boss lady has a very good attitude, unlike some Chinese restaurants (I'm really speechless...I can't even pretend) It’s delicious, the noodles are chewy, and there’s tea too! The vinegar is Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar! ! ! The spicy food is delicious too... I wish the boss a prosperous business! !

Unconditionally recommended! Fast service, great food, reasonable prices. Any time

I had fried noodles with chicken. Almost no vegetables, little chicken, noodles not fried but boiled and zero seasoning. My enthusiasm is therefore absolutely limited. I'm sorry, but I expected something different. To charge €10 for this is an impudence.

It's a shame, 10 euros for pasta with a few strips of spring onions and 5 pieces of chicken... I couldn't find any of the pasta with any bite or taste. A shop that will never see me again! Unfortunately I have to give one star to even leave a review. Because I wouldn't have even given that!

There's always a queue in front of this place and for good reason. The food is absolutely delicious and the prices are relatively low. They also make the noodles themselves right in front of you and the soup broth is amazing. They even give you snacks and tea while you wait outside. Absolutely recommended if you're not in a hurry.

The noodles was great!! clear broth and tasty

While waiting in line under the rain, they offered us green tea and gyoza. They have friendly and fast service. The food is amazing! Delicious, large, filling portions at a reasonable price. Three of us were satisfied with just two dishes. I definitely recommend it!

Was homesick and craved chinese food so I came here. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Very delicious handmade Lanzhao Beef noodle soup. Some dishes appear to have Japanese influence (an observation not a critique)🇨🇳🇯🇵

Food was done in under 5 mins very flavorful

Incredibly friendly service and very authentic noodles. There was tea and small snacks for the guests waiting in line. For me it was a treasure find in Munich.

Definitely not my type of noodles. Not authentic at all. I couldn’t understand how those ratings came from. Save your queuing time and money for something else.

When queuing, each guest receives a jasmine tea while you fill out the order form. Despite the queue, everything goes really quickly and the prices really speak for themselves €3 for a cucumber salad, €4 for the carrage and €12 for a noodle soup with hand-pulled noodles. I'll be honest, this is the spot in Munich

We were offered tea as we stood in the waiting line which is not that long and also while we eat. Customer service was impeccable. The food tasted good and portion-wise was great for the price.

Overhyped. But - cool for compact, inexpensive and good food without any fanfare.

Tasty authentic flavor with big portion for quite a good price in the big city like München. Plus the free tea. The place is quite small though. -> We came back again and this time the experience was a bit stressful and not that good. The accountant/owner ist nice but one staff was rather cold and unfriendly.

We had curry with both rice and noodles and both were amazing! They even feed the people in the queue to keep the waiting people happy 😂 great concept, i wish more restaurants would adopt it. Beware that if you’re two, you might end up sharing a table for 4 with two randos.

The staff is extremely nice and the food is delicious. You will probably have to queue quite some time.

Homemade delicious noodles. Great service. No tip allowed is also a very pleasant concept

Very good noodle soup and fried noodles Despite the queue, you can get a seat quickly No reservation possible Cash only Fairly priced for the homemade noodles

There is a reason for the line. Watching the noodles be made while you dine is a treat

Be aware you will wait outside but worth it!! They are serving several things while you are waiting. Noodles are prepared in the same room with you and there are absolutely delicious!! Going there whenever we want to eat noodle !

It's no longer a secret, but it's always super good and unbeatable on cold days! Great value for money, great broth with down-to-earth ingredients without a lot of SchiSchi, but with even more taste. Despite the queue, you never have to wait long and the food comes quickly. Small room with a lot of action and charm, you can watch the noodles live.

Food was great. We waited in the rain outside and they brought us tea, crackers, and gyoza while we waited. Absolutely lovely staff!

We had high expectations for this shop, we had heard that there is always a big queue for eating there. So it was indeed a queue and we waited approximately 10 min during which we were offered a hot tee with some chips. We also had an opportunity to order what we would like to eat. We ordered some noodle dishes with some starters based on the pictures (big mistake) as we later on realized we have ordered a salad with 🐷 🐷 stomach!! :( The food overall were medium in taste but I would say fare price considering quality and portion.

The beef noodle soup is incredibly delicious. Been here countless times and it's always worth coming back. Usually you have to wait outside until seats become available. While waiting, each guest is given a glass of green tea. Inside, everything is freshly prepared in the kitchen on the right. You can watch the chef making pasta. Highly recommended to see how he does it. You choose the dish and drinks from a menu. Cutlery is in a drawer at the table. You pay when you leave. And important: no tips

The noodle soups are extremely tasty and very authentic. You can watch the chef prepare the pasta by hand! The prices are absolutely reasonable 😊

Truly amazing food. Line took about 15 minutes but we were offered tea and gyozas while we were waiting. You scribble your order while waiting outside and once you sit you get your food within minutes. This was exactly what we were hoping for and more. Loved it.

Everything tastes the same and carelessly prepared., Season the food a little more.,

The best noodles in the city 🙌 They also offer free tea and free snacks while waiting in queue. The best 👌

Food was OK. But not a highlight. In the pictures it looks better, almost like Mc Doof.

Incredibly hospitable, we were given free drinks and gyozas while we waited. The homemade noodles are a dream, I thought the spicy beef soup with Szechuan pepper was excellent and cheap too. The hype is absolutely justified!

Chinese restaurant near the Sendlinger Tor metro station. There is not much space inside, but the establishment is very popular, which is why there is often a line outside waiting for a free table. However, if you come to the evening opening or a little earlier (before 17:00), you can find free seats. The establishment specializes in Chinese noodles with a special broth and beef or chicken. The chef makes the noodles right in front of you. The broth is cooked for 6 hours and has a rich, unique taste. All dishes (soups and noodles) cost 10-12€, snacks 3-4€. We took the signature beef noodles and appetizers (beef and tripe in sauce). The portion of noodles is huge, the broth and meat are very tasty. The appetizers didn't disappoint either. All guests of the establishment are served cold green tea as a compliment. The service is fast, you need to mark the desired dishes and their quantity on a piece of paper, after which this piece of paper will serve as a check for payment. You must keep in mind that to pay you do not have to wait for the waiter, but go straight to the hostess at the exit, where they will pay you off. The downside is that payment is only in cash.

They make their own noodles! We ordered the mala and the Max’s beef noodles. Mala can be spicier but the beef were so yummy. Cola was flat cos they poured from big bottle.

Ordered the 马克思牛肉面 (Max’s beef noodle soup) 红烧牛肉面 (hongshao noodle soup). Delicious, flavorful, authentic. Hand pulled noodles were just the right consistency, chewy and satisfying. Super fast service. Reminded me of the noodle shops in China. They even added some extra veggies for me free of charge. Spent ~12euros per person, hard to beat price for the huge portions.

Amazing good quality for food and price here in Munich. Value for money 🫶🏽. Bring cash!

Processes are well coordinated, everyone in the restaurant knows what to do. If there is a long queue, tea and small snacks will also be distributed. Pasta is the specialty, but everything around it has little priority. Hardly any vegetables available. For example, the tofu bowl only has half a baby pak choi and two tofu pieces. All the other bowls looked like this too. For me it's definitely not enough for a good dish. That's why only 3 stars - despite the noodles. Broth is ok, but you can get better elsewhere. Interior very tight seating, but completely ok. But the staff was very nice and tried very hard. Cash or Paypal only. No tipping possible.

The food was really top notch. Plus, you're sitting in a very busy snack bar and it's super warm. In my opinion, it makes it even more authentic. The queue in front of the restaurant is served with crab hips and jasmine tea, free of charge. While waiting, you take a piece of paper, fill it out and hand it in when you check in. Less than 10 minutes after you sit down you get something to eat. An absolute dream. Tips are gratefully declined.

Handmade ramen, the noodles are really springy and delicious. People who eat lighter food will find it a bit salty. The price is very affordable in Germany👍

The noodles taste very good here. The price-performance ratio is good. There is often a wait as the restaurant is very popular. You always get tea and something to eat while you wait.

An absolute delight : - we were welcomed with Jasmin tea while waiting for our table. It did help a lot as it was a very hot day. - we ordered Gyoza, Max's classic beef noodles and Mala noodles. The food was beyond expectations for the price. I highly recommend this little corner in Sendlinger Tor for any passing tourist. Beware, there's always a queue :) !

The taste is good and the service attitude is good, but it is too hot in the store. The seat assigned to the corner feels so hot that I might have a heatstroke.

Friendly staff and delicious food make it the best restaurant we’ve tried in Munich. You may need to wait several minutes before there are available seats, but once you get a seat, the food will be ready very quickly

We were only in Munich for one night and wanted to eat something spicy (after 2 weeks in Austria). This place did not disappoint! We had to queue for a little while - but staff brought out prawn crackers and jasmine tea for people in the queue which really kept us happy. We ordered smacked cucumber, dumplings and noodle soups. Everything was really delicious. Generous portions. Brilliant hand pulled noodles. Really efficient service. Really relaxed and unpretentious vibe. If I'm back in Munich, will absolutely go back!

Max Beef Noodles is truly an excellent restaurant. The soups are incredibly authentic, and the staff is always very friendly. Unfortunately, you now need to plan for a longer visit, as the lines can be quite long. However, it’s a nice touch that they offer tea in the winter while you wait outside. If you avoid peak hours, getting a table is usually not a problem. Plus, if you’re dining alone, there are designated spots for solo visitors, so you don’t have to worry about coming by yourself.

Great hand made noodles, super price, fast service, quick lunch.

We waited in line for half an hour, and the noodles we ate were definitely not worth it!

I love this place. My wife and I had lunch here on Sunday, it was raining and we were waiting in line outside. They brought us a glass of tea and some prawn crackers, which I thought was a lovely gesture. We had a bowl of hongshao noodles and a bowl of ban noodles. The food arrived quickly despite how packed and busy they were. The noodles were fantastic, just the perfect amount of bounce and depth of flavour. Everything tasted and felt like an authentic street food experience. Helps that they're dog friendly too.

Absolutely worth the wait. The best ramen I've ever had at a completely reasonable prize.
