Lon Men's Noodle House in Berlin

Ok portions, prices on the high side, relatively bland and simple as flavors go Not too bad, but nothing unique

It’s the best if you’re craving Asian food while traveling‼️‼️ It's not a flimsy beef noodle dish, it's a real Taiwanese flavor. When it comes to dim sum, I personally found Ha Gau to be more delicious than Xiao Long, and for a woman who doesn't eat a lot, a small bowl of beef noodles and one dumpling was enough!!! And the wonton seasoned with some kind of oil was very delicious🥹

I lived in Taiwan and after moving to Berlin, I’ve been craving beef noodle soup. Unfortunately I’m sad to say this place doesn’t meet my expectations. The soup is bland and the meat is not flavorful. The noodles are over cooked and soggy. My friend ordered the spicy noodles which is essentially gochujang mixed with miso and black bean sauce… For the price you pay, it’s not worth it. But the Germans seem to like it :’)

Over the years we have had excellent meals again and again. The competition is really tough on Kantstrasse, but Lon Man's Noodke House is unique in the city.

This is how you eat in Asia!!! Rustic and lively atmosphere, warmest hospitality. Excellent!!!

It used to be a nice address. But because of all the hype, it's not worth it anymore. Standing in the cold for 1 hour for food that is good, but not very good, is not worth it. My time is a waste.

Loved it. Order the tofu chili, it's a must! We waited a bit for a table but it runs quickly and definitely worth the wait

Best noodles in town! Staff is super friendly and the food in deliciously homemade, is very busy so be ready to wait a bit but is totally worthy!!!

The first sip of my soup instantly revealed the depth of its homemade flavors, especially in the rich, hearty broth. This restaurant even makes its own tofu, which was incredibly tender and delicious. I will definitely be coming back. Expect a queue, but it moves quickly!

It was really delicious, but unfortunately very expensive. It's worth trying but I don't think I would go there a second time.

They have a long line of customers outside in a cold Sunday evening, but then the wait is worthwhile. The food was sumptuous and best when eaten hot.

Very authentic and super tasty! The portions could at most be a little larger

Tastes very good, staff very friendly, great service, but restaurant is quite narrow

Wontons and noodles both overcooked, and definitely NOT home-cooked. And the staff is cold.

Very popular restaurant! You had to wait a bit in line at the door, but it was extremely worth it Really super tasty, fresh, high quality food. Very large selection of food. Very authentic and cheap food. Nice facility. Mega fast and nice service :) I'd love to come back more often Highly recommended!

Far too full, guests can no longer be served properly. Waiting times of over 40 minutes in front of the door. Food used to be better. Victim of the hype?

Service incredibly friendly. Food too expensive and the hype is absolutely not justified in my opinion. It was good but the noodle soup had hardly any flavor and was way too hot. The rest was also solid but nothing special. The rooms are much too narrow and therefore very loud and very warm.

I happily waited 10 minutes for this perfect noodle soup. Very nice operating family and great food at a reasonable price. We were there again the next day.

We were there for lunch during the week. We had to wait for a seat, but not long. So great! The food was very tasty.

Small, nice shop with good food but a bit pricey for a lunch

Authentic little restaurant. Waiting times may vary depending on the weather but a wait is to be expected, especially if there is more than one person. However, the order comes to the table in less than 10 minutes, despite the house being full. Very tasty noodles, juicy meat. There are also toilets. Cash only. The staff is always incredibly nice and works very quickly, a clear recommendation. One of the best places in town!

Outstanding - but too well attended for me.

Very authentic Taiwanese food, a real insider tip. Service very friendly. Can only be recommended 👍🏼

Best noodle house in town. Looks a bit like something out of an old Hong Kong film.

Had to wait at the entrance for a bit, but the food was good, but sadly not spicy.

As tasty as expected. Still, just way too expensive for a quick snack.

I have visited more than 50 Asian restaurants ant it’s the worst Asian food I have ever eaten in my life.

Worst place ever. I do not recommend being fooled by the illusion that a long queue affects the quality.

Worst food ever. Plain cheapest store bought noodles. Leftover duck from yesterday. Great disappointment.

We were there because of the TV report. First we had to queue to get a table. We thought that it would definitely be delicious. We had the 15, 22 and Gua Bao (37) to try. They were small portions. Vegetables were hardly present in both dishes and were lost among the noodles dipped in sauce. No herbs such as fresh coriander and not enough of an Asian touch for our taste. I added more salt to the 15.

We arrived at 5:30 on a Friday evening and only waited for about 5 minutes in the line. The wontons in chili oil were amazing, their chili oil was super fragrant. The noodle soup was light and clear, not too spiced but very umami. We finished every drop of the broth :)

It's just super tasty and hopefully it stays that way 😎

Unfortunately very disappointing. Food tasteless. Table was far too small for 6 people, service was non-existent. They didn't even ask if anything was missing or if everything was OK. We found out through Instagram that it was supposed to be great there. Unfortunately I cannot confirm

Sitting down at a mini table with 6 people, when asked what wasn't too spicy for the children, the answer was: well, we only have one kitchen (we knew that, we just wanted to know; what was mild) The food was not like the hype. Pretty tasteless, bland and not particularly attractively presented. We expected more of it after it was reported on television. Unfortunately no recommendation. In terms of quality, we couldn't find any particular differences to any all-you-can-eat buffet.

We became aware of the Taiwanese through the ARD culinary series “Everything but Potatoes” and were prepared for a wait on the street. Is that worth it? The service was nice and quick. The experience inside: A tight, narrow room, seats close together, mediocre taste, the most popular type of pasta is already sold out, small portions and slightly exorbitant prices. Sometimes the reality behind interesting TV reports looks different.

The food was very tasty so it was always full and there was a wait The duck here tastes very good

Cozy place for authentic taiwanese noodles.

Warm something for in between. Taiwanese specialties for a culinary delight.

Very tasty food.. super friendly staff. The boss gave me a tip for my Taiwan trip.. Keep it up..

It was the worst experience I have ever had in my life! We waited more than 1 hour to get the food, the customer service is terrible, the place is tiny and crowded, a very uncomfortable atmosphere. And food was not good, far beyond my expectations. It is just not worth the time and money!!

The noodles were very tasty (#99 with tofu and chili oil and 89 with wonton and chili oil). Personally it wasn't spicy enough for me. You could tell that the wontons were homemade, the filling was rich and very tasty. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Despite the long queue, the waiting time was kept to a minimum thanks to the good management. I can highly recommend eating here. Prices and portions are completely okay, of course no comparison to the prices in Taiwan and Co.

Still good, unfortunately overcrowded.

You really have to like the long queues, the food looks better than it tastes (even the oh-so "legendary" dishes), the atmosphere is super unpleasant: a crowded, worn-out snack bar. A disappointing experience considering the hype and unfortunately too expensive.

i go there at least once a week. perfect place to go if you’re vegan but have meat eating friends cuz there are many vegan options on the menu. atmosphere is casual and buzzing. staff is extremely friendly. i recommend the noodles with chili sauce and tofu. if you don’t want to wait in line for too long, i’d suggest you go there somewhen between 3.30-5pm. you can pay by card from a certain amount, but you should take cash with you.

The food is good. However, I would say something is missing in that beef noodles, which makes it sort of different from what I have expected.

The food is very tasty, there are also many vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommended! The staff is also very nice and friendly!

As expected, down to earth, delicious, very nice. Only 25 minutes waiting time on Sundays at 5 p.m.

Solid cuisine, unfortunately I can't say much more about it. The hype brought me here and unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. The food wasn't particularly flavorful. The ingredients were already prepared by hand and finely chopped, but unfortunately something special was missing. The service, on the other hand, was very good, quick and loving.

By far the best restaurant in Berlin. After visiting here, you'll feel like traveling to Taiwan!

The food was excellent. The prices are more than fair & the service is super friendly!

It's great that you can just order duck without any side dish.

We were there on a Saturday evening and had to wait 30-45 minutes. I thought the food was very tasty and the prices were really reasonable, but I would recommend stopping by at a less busy time.

must visit in Berlin if you like spicy asian food! I love the place and the people.

Unfortunately I was really disappointed. I didn't expect that. The spicy noodle soup might be great. As a person who cannot tolerate spicy, I ordered the non-spicy classic noodle soup with beef. The meat was good but could be better. Likewise the noodles. However, both were hardly seasoned. And the broth, yes, it really tasted like water! When I made this criticism (because if you don't offer spicy soup, it should taste good, otherwise please just offer spicy soup!), the only answer I received was that it was my own fault, that it was just the vegan broth. According to the motto, if you order the vegan broth, you don't have to be surprised that it tastes like nothing. Really disappointing, especially since this place seems to be so hyped. Something positive: tea was delicious, food came quickly, prices are generally okay (except in my case it's definitely still too expensive for this soup). What a shame!! Please revise your recipe for the non-spicy & vegan broth.

the nnodles are really delicious. BUT that's all... The duck is too dry, the quantity gives the impression that one breast is divided into two portions. We tried, thank you, but we won't be back...

First class Chinese food. Admission only after registration, that's how well known and popular the restaurant is. We can only recommend it to lovers of Chinese cuisine. The location could use improvements.

Very tasty food, friendly service and a reasonable price, what more could you want. Gladly again

Very nice authentic taiwanese noodles for a fair price. Food comes out super fast.

It’s the best noodle soup of the city. Service is hospitable and quick. You sometimes might have to cue shortly but it’s worth every minute. Try the crispy duck bao bun as a starter, delicious!

Very tasty and authentic.. the noodle soup recipe is still in good hands with mother 😅

Too cute place! Good food and familiar location, I recommend! We waited 15 minutes because it was full, but that justifies it being good!

The food is good, with excellent soups and ravioli. I don't feel like going back for two main reasons. You can't pay by card, and especially because the staff hovers over you as soon as you finish eating since there are so many people waiting. It doesn't seem like a place where you can even take a little time to chat with your friends. The place could also use a bit of a refresh. In my opinion, the prices are a bit high for ravioli that aren't handmade. Overall, it's not bad, but certainly not exceptional.

Best Asian food I've eaten in Germany! Authentic family run spot, well worth the hype. Expect a line and cash only - all the telly tale signs of a local belter. I ordered the Crispy Duck noodles a d the duck was maybe the craziest I've ever had! The wontons in their house made sesame chilli oil absolutely slaps. Both plates where locked clean!.. The only improvement for me would be juicier xao long bao. Top tier spot nonetheless. Will definitely be back, with friends! 🤘

Excellent food, very friendly staff, perfect service and fair prices.

It really depends on what you order

I have been a guest many times. The Lon Men used to have a certain unique selling point, it wasn't that crowded, the portions were reasonable, the prices were OK, and above all, the menu was extremely tasty and very special. It seems to me that those times are over. I was totally disappointed, and not just last time. The portions are getting smaller as prices have risen, but more importantly, the special taste that I would always have tasted was simply no longer there. Everything is just interchangeable mainstream and I think that's a shame! But if you look at the positive reviews from others, my opinion seems to be just an individual opinion. Maybe it's like "the emperor's new clothes". The competition on Kantstrasse and the surrounding area is now doing a lot better and is nowhere near as crowded. I also changed in the meantime.

The restaurant is very small and when eating there you have to be prepared for being crowded and crowded. The food is good, but recently it has been greatly overpriced; price increases of over 50% certainly make it no longer an insider tip.

A real classic in City West. You can always rely on the taste and friendliness of the service. We love going to Lon Men’s Noodle House for lunch on Sundays and have never been disappointed, always good food at fair prices. Sometimes you have to wait outside, but you can usually always get a table. #22/91 are our favorites (vermicelli with beef/duck).

Beef noodle soup with a little chili oil. Mega! This restaurant deserves its reputation. You can see that the team is well coordinated. Everything seems very authentic. The portions are a good size and the prices are reasonable. I will come again!

Ich war mit meinen Kindern dort um dimsum zu essen. Das Restaurant ist eher klein mit wenig Platz und sehr gut versucht. Muss eventuell etwas warten. Das lohnt sich aber. Der Laden ist total authentisch. Nicht ganz günstig für das Imbiss Ambiente. Dafür schmeckt das Essen aber super und der Service ist klasse. Scheint mir Familien geführt zu sein

Simply an institution on Kantstrasse. Best store. Chili wonton, noodle soup with beef and noodles with spicy meat sauce are highly recommended.

Very good cuisine and friendly staff !

Many, many years ago I wrote a moody and rather enthusiastic review on a platform that no longer exists today. It was a little story about a completely unknown insider tip on a gray street in the west and about a shop that sells pig ear salad and where the soups are incredibly authentic. And about an old lady at the cooking pots, a small dog who was no longer there at some point. That became my most read review and at some point the insider tip was no longer a secret. You could no longer impress a first date with pork knuckle soup and pig ears because some other first date who might have read the review had already done that. And then Kantstrasse suddenly became hip and developed into the All-Asia mile with design. Lon Men Noodle House was suddenly in the thick of things and hip. The tourists (the cool kind) came and took photos for Instagram. There are 2700 reviews on Google. TripAdvisor claims it is No. 71 out of almost 6,000 restaurants in Berlin. Last time I was there, the noodle soup with pork knuckle was still okay. The tables outside have been assigned. The service was even friendlier than back then (OK, there was no service back then). Maybe the memory is transfigured, maybe the feeling of knowing something special is missing. But I think the portion of pork knuckle was bigger, the soup was spicier and the prices almost doubled. I begrudge the store its success, the soups are still delicious, the pig ear salad is still there, but I'm looking around for a new insider tip.

Duck on rice, €14.90, rather small portion, taste mediocre, any, too expensive, not worth it:

Is not something special, super basic flavors, I really don’t understand why that rating to be honest

It was one of the best Asian food I ever ate!

Unfortunately it's not nearly as good as it used to be - small portions, relatively expensive and the taste isn't what it used to be. It's a shame, it used to be my favorite restaurant, but I don't eat here anymore.

Vegan soup rice noodles were very uninspiring, basically veggie broth. Most plain I’ve had in years. Could be done much better with some culinary imagination, just like it would be in Taiwan itself. The staff did put in some effort adding taste, upon my comments. The results was a bit better. But then the boss commented ‘if you want taste, don’t order vegetarian’ and had me pay extra for the extra work…

Legends store. No more, no less.

Perfect! You have to wait a bit for a table but it's 100% worth it

The dumplings are absolutely recommended

Great food & service! A bit packed, as usual in Berlin for places like this.

I remember it from times when there were significantly fewer guests. The food is still good, but not comparable to the quality that was previously offered. Prices are also constantly rising. Every time I go there it feels more expensive. Well, that's often how it is when a restaurant becomes (too) popular.

The taste and atmosphere of Tsingtao honey rice cake! I love it💛

Well, it's just another hype place where the hype is less apparent. Yes, perhaps quite interesting to know that many others have eaten here and many come back again and again and wait for hours. We were lucky and were immediately served nicely. The junior "boss" was really very engaging. The lady seemed very authentic and the senior...well, he's been living in Berlin for so long, you can file his manner under "assimilation" and/or "successful integration". I don't like this "typical Berliner" callous manner, so points are deducted. The food came quickly and was quite tasty. But I honestly don't know what was "different" or "better" about it. It just tasted “Asian”. Don't get me wrong, it was very tasty if you want something Asian. But there's absolutely nothing special or something that isn't available in thousands and in abundance even on the same street. So, folks, even though it's being touted everywhere. It's not worth waiting forever. It's nothing special. We don't even have to talk about the "ambience" right on Kantstrasse. And I think it's an outrage that payment by card isn't possible. I don't trust restaurateurs who only accept cash and only come with a reasonable receipt when asked. We all keep this country running and I have no understanding for this kind of behavior and there is now no understandable reason to exclude more card payments.

Such a good local spot. Went across town just to try it out due to other reviews and it lived up to the hype! Had to get two dishes just to try as much as possible. Cheap and delicious!

Very authentic place, the service was kindfull and the food was ready in less than 5 minutes. The noodles was fine but the starters was amazing. One problem was the temperature, there is no air conditioning and one fan doesn’t really make the difference.

I spent the last 3.5 years in Taiwan, so maybe I'm expecting a bit too much, but I feel the dishes are too salty and too oily, the soy sauce could be described as 死鹹, ie it does not have much nuance, the noodles are not QQ but overcooked. I wonder if the staff is maybe not from Taiwan, because while the cutlery looks Taiwanese, some of the dishes resemble more Hong Kong-style fare. It's super popular so I reckon my taste preferences are apparently not representative for the average visitor but I don't think it's a very good representation of Taiwanese cuisine either.

Everything is DELICIOUS, you have to be happy to get a cookie 👍👍👍👍👍 if you can be there at 12 o'clock sharp. At the moment Thu-Sun.

Simply good. Word for word counts. An honest kitchen. compliment

Absolutely unpretentious. Food absolutely authentic. Family-owned and operated. Many Chinese visitors find the quality so good they don't mind waiting for their (little) table in a slight drizzle outside. Even the German beer on tap (Bitburger) shows these people mean quality!

Food authentic and delicious. Portions partly small but recommended

Excellent Asian food. Simple and authentic food, served by friendly staff. Highly recommended.

My go-to place in Berlin when I crave noodles soup! The broth is so rich and delicious, the noodles is a delight and the meat is always tender. Try to come not during rush hours because there could be a very long queue which, fortunately, usually goes pretty fast. Be aware that you can pay just with cash!

Our favorite Asian restaurant. Authentic Taiwanese cuisine with great service. Do not miss!

Absolutely TOP! It was my first time in Taiwanese kitchen. But you bet it is not my last time. Great Asian dishes. Super starter and noodles with beef or pork. Only one minus is that dishes were small. So I could eat two plates. Ps yes, it is as delicious as it looks like. Well deserved pin 📌 with ❤️ in my google maps.

Tasty , good , but you can’t compare it to another hand made nudels in Berlin

It was actually a nice place with delicious food. But: - still looks cheap; zero invested after so many years - still cash payment - I find some pasta dishes a bit too much for the price

Food really good, very authentic. Service is pretty fast, no card payment possible. For me the best Asian on Kantstrasse.

Didn’t like it very much according to my taste.
