Madame Mei in Frankfurt am Main

We had pre-ordered the three-course duck menu. It was delicious and the service was very friendly. I can highly recommend it.

Well, the food is excellent, I have to say... the dim sum is the best in town for me! However, I find it a bit overpriced, so the price-performance ratio here isn't that great...

Nice restaurant, especially recommended for starters and dessert lovers.

The standard of food has dropped but the price has risen a lot. Food from lunch menu is disappointing. We used to be a regular but now we might not want to go there so often. Dumpligs are still nice.

Ich hatte sehr hohe Erwartungen, angesichts der Bewertungen, aber ich war enttäuscht. In meinem Nudeln mit Gemüse und Huhn war das Huhn trocken und schmeckt schlecht. Es schien am Vortag gekocht und dann aufgewärmt worden zu sein! Tatsächlich habe ich das ganze Fleisch auf dem Teller gelassen, aber der Kellner hat mich nicht einmal gefragt, warum ich das Fleisch verlassen habe! Ich werde nicht zurück.

Hemos estado cenando en este restaurante durante unos años. El precio ha subido bastante recientemente, pero el estándar definitivamente ha bajado. El almuerzo es peor y la comida es un poco como la comida rápida. Las bolitas siguen bien. El servicio es bueno, pero en general estaba pensando si nos molestamos en volver.

Food was okay. We were hoping for more given the prices.

Amazing dumplings. A bit on the pricier side, but the quality justifies it.

Very good Chinese cuisine. Nice ambience and nice service. 100% recommended!

Went every Chinese New Year to celebrate since 2021. Super authentic Malaysian-Chinese foods. No complains at all towards the food nor staff. They are very attentive and fast in serving. Of course, price is on a higher side but you don't get much authentic good Chinese foods around. Even my colleagues love the food here and asking me to plan for another dinner here again!

When we came in it was a pleasant atmosphere at first glance. It took a while until we were given a table even though we were obviously all served. The conditions were also rather unfavorable to us. The food is completely OVERPRICED and hardly tastes like anything…. We would advise against it.

Super delicious food, friendly and quick service.

The food was very good. It can be said to be the most authentic Chinese food I have ever eaten in Germany! But it’s a bit expensive, and the portions of dim sum and side dishes are too small.

Very good dim sum and friendly team, good value for money. Gladly again!

Food & service is simply amazing! Ken is a passionate waiter and made our stay perfect :) Thank you very much & we'll be back!

Very nice restaurant. The food was delicious. It was very authentic Cantonese, and it reminds me of when I was back home in Hong Kong. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone trying Cantonese food.

Pure mass processing. Food arrived almost cold. Very tasteless everything overall and an unpleasant stressful atmosphere in the restaurant. We were both really disappointed I can only advise against it.

I love this place. If you’re looking for a beautiful, romantic, and authentic Chinese place, this restaurant is the perfect place to go. Please dine here & support this business.

Very good food. Not cheap, but quality has its price. The spinach dumpling as a starter is highly recommended.

I almost never write reviews, but since I can't understand why this great store only has an average rating of 4.0, I'll change that. We had a spontaneous meal here yesterday. The service was extremely friendly and accommodating. The dishes all tasted fantastic (we had several steamed dishes, a starter and a main course). The prices are reasonable for Frankfurt. We'll definitely be back.

Lunch M5 zum Abholen fürs Büro Große Enttäuschung! bretthartes, blasses Rindfleisch ( Szechuan geht definitiv anders). Alleine optisch eine 5! "Geschmack" nicht besser. Absolut nichts sagend. Dazu eine handvoll Reis ( Kindertellerniveau). Muß man inzwischen am Reis sparen? Wenigstens war das Gemüse in Ordnung. Knackig und frisch. To sum it up: ich habe nur den Reis mit Gemüse und der Soße gegessen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, aber ich wollte eigentlich etwas ansprechendes zum Essen bekommen. No value for money. In den ersten Jahren nach Eröffnung hatte das Essen ein ganz anderes Niveau. Jetzt nicht mehr erwähnenswert ( leider).

A very nicely decorated and stylish restaurant. The portions are large and very tasty. Excellent service

Very tasty food in a good atmosphere. Dumplings are highly recommended, as is the beef fillet with pepper

Below average food and completely exorbitant prices, especially for drinks. Rice sticky and burnt, Coke without carbonation. Not particularly large portions. Service took forever but was nice. The only advantage: plenty of space for large groups. There are much better alternatives nearby!

Unfortunately, my vegetarian vegetables were still very raw and actually not seasoned...

It's delicious...I'll go again...The service wasn't that friendly, but I'll go again because of the taste.

“Das Restaurant hat eine gute Lage und das Personal ist recht ordentlich – sehr freundlich und schnell im Service. Allerdings war das Essen überhaupt nicht schmackhaft, und die Preise sind völlig überzogen. Es ist ein überbewertetes Restaurant, aber das Essen entspricht eher dem Niveau eines günstigen chinesischen Schnellimbisses. Trotzdem muss man sagen, dass sich das Personal wirklich bemüht. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich noch einmal in dieses Restaurant komme.”

The food is great! Xiao Long Bao is my favorite here and also the fried rice is heavenly! It is a bit expensive but for food of that quality i dont mind. Peking Duck seem to ve popular but i never tried it before. Char Sieu and Water Spinach is also hella good here

The food is okay, but the attitude of the waiters is very bad. He kept talking back to the customer, and in the end he didn't give a tip. The waiter asked for it directly, and finally changed his face.

Here you can get good Asian dishes that are well prepared and easy to digest. Is recommended, for my friends it was also good and tasteful.

The three of us spontaneously ate here in the restaurant yesterday and were unfortunately very disappointed. What bothered us the most were the completely exorbitant prices. Almost all of the main courses cost at least over 20€, my duck even cost over 30€ and with all the main courses you even have to order rice for 3€ in order to be served a complete dish! “Homemade” lime lemonade (made up of 2/3 ice cubes) is also priced at over €9. If the quality is good, I'm happy to pay more, but the food was on the same level or worse than other Chinese restaurants where you get the same thing for half the money. Furthermore, the service was very hectic and did little to create a cozy atmosphere. Conclusion: It is better to spend your culinary evening at the many other good Chinese restaurants in Frankfurt. Madame Mei, NEVER AGAIN!

After we were seated, the service staff suddenly lost all interest in us. And this is how it continued after we were rediscovered and were able to order: The starters, various delicious dim sums, were at the table much too quickly for the fact that they were advertised as being freshly prepared. This also applied to the two main courses. The person cooking had guessed that we were craving oily shrimp, greasy fried noodles and completely over-salted sesame chicken. Expensive, bad food in a cramped and noisy atmosphere. I don't have to repeat it.

Wir hatten reserviert, wurden platziert und dann lange Zeit nicht mehr beachtet. Irgendwann gelang es uns, die Aufmerksamkeit der Servicekraft zu erhalten und konnten bestellen. Das in der Küche tätige Team aus Hellsehern und Zauberern muss unsere Wahl lange im Voraus erahnt und so passend vorbereitet haben, dass alles wenige Minuten nach der Bestellung serviert wurde. Anders ist diese Geschwindigkeit in einem Restaurant in dem alle Gerichte frisch zubereitet werden, nicht erklärbar. Bei den Vorspeisen funktionierte das System: wir bekamen leckere, heiße und pikant gewürzte Dim Sum. Dafür waren die beiden Hauptgänge peinliche Totalschäden: in Sesamöl ertränkte Garnelen, fettige gebratene Nudeln, völlig versalzenes Sesamhuhn. Sehr teures, sehr schlechtes Essen in enger und lauter Umgebung … das tun wir uns nicht wieder an.

In our eyes it was perfect! So good that we went back on the second day! Our dog was also very welcome!!! 👍

We made a reservation in advance, we came as a group, after the meal, i made the payment, gave them a fair tip. After i made the payment, the lady immediately came and kicked us out, while we were still enjoying our beer. We were there for barely 1.5 hours. She was rude, definitely a disappointment!

Attention, rice is charged an additional €3 for the menu and we recommend checking the bill (the menu was double). Prices are very high in themselves! The tip is automatically charged at 10%.

Update from January 31, 2025: We ate again at Madame Mei's today. The restaurant was very full and we still managed to get a nice seat at 9:30 p.m. The service and the food were again excellent: we had a selection of dim sum, a very good cucumber salad, water spinach (absolute recommendation) and the duck Canton style with bone (definitely take it with bone - the skin is crispier and the meat is juicier, either difficult to eat). We had a great evening. There will definitely be a third visit. ———————————— The two of us came here without a reservation. We were greeted very friendly and given a nice place. The restaurant is very stylishly furnished and you immediately feel at home - and you don't sit too close to other guests, which further increases the coziness. We ate dim sum twice as a starter and duck and water spinach as the main course. Everything tasted excellent. Very authentically Chinese (as far as I can tell). I'm definitely looking forward to our next visit.

I've been going to Madame Mei regularly for a long time - both for lunch and dinner - and can absolutely recommend it! Here are my reasons and a few tips for your visit: 🥟 Attention dim sum lovers! I love dim sum and all the different delicacies that are available here. If you enjoy trying different dumplings together, Madame Mei is the right place for you. The selection is huge - whether with fish, meat or vegetarian - and the variety of flavors amazes me every time! 🍽 Main dishes for every taste The main courses are also consistently delicious. Duck fans in particular will get their money's worth here, but there are also great dishes with chicken, shrimp or purely vegetarian options. 💡 My tip: Try the Buddhist fasting dish (M4) with crispy chicken as a topping at lunchtime – a really great combination! 🍡 Sweet ending The sweet dumplings as a dessert are highly recommended. 🍵 Enjoy tea & a cozy atmosphere The restaurant is very comfortably furnished. As a drink, I can highly recommend green tea, which is served in a classic tea service - and if you want, you can add hot water. 📍 Seating tips & reservation I recommend that you make a reservation in advance, whether for lunch or dinner. 🔹 Best seating area: The back area inside is pleasantly quiet and cozy. 🔹 The upper floor is also a nice option. 🔹 There is a covered and heated terrace outside, but it can get uncomfortable there when the temperatures are cool. ✨ My conclusion: For me, Madame Mei is a real highlight when it comes to dim sum! But even those who don't like dumplings will be happy with the excellently prepared main dishes. Clear recommendation! 🙌🏼

Unfortunately the food wasn't authentic at all. Not recommended!!!

Früher konnte man hier erstklassig Essen, zwar etwas teuer, aber von guter Qualität und Geschmack. Davon ist leider rein gar nichts übrig geblieben. Wir hatten Gerüchte mit Hähnchen und Rindfleisch, alle nach Sichuan Art. Als Vorspeise gab es Dim Sum. Die Teigtaschen sind bestenfalls aus der Kühltruhe vom Asiamarket. Hier erwartet man mehr. Da könnte der Hauptgang ja nur besser werden, dachten wir jedenfalls. Leider wurden wir eines Besseren lehrt. Bekommen haben wir etwas mit undefinierbarer Sosse, völlig überzuckert, gänzlich ohne die typischen Aromen der Sichuan Küche. Einfach enttäuschend. Aber immerhin war die Bedienung sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Alles in allem eine Erfahrung die niemand braucht und die wir hier auch mit Sicherheit nicht mehr machen werden.

Authentic Asian cuisine! A little more upscale but extremely good! The filled dumplings are particularly recommended!

We spontaneously ate here on a Friday evening because it was recommended to us. Super nice welcome with a huge smile, large portions (which was accompanied by a really sweet comment that you would like to see your guests full) and delicious, authentic food. Taste wise a 10/10. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My questions about the starters were answered very kindly and the waiter gave us honest advice. We felt completely comfortable. Happy to come back <3

Very good, warm service, delicious food

The food was pretty good, but unfortunately the attitude of the Asian waitress in the store was really bad (I guess she is Asian because she doesn't seem to speak Chinese, and her German isn't very good either). At first, after I finished eating, I asked someone to refill the water, but he didn't. I went to the boss at the counter. The boss was very enthusiastic and quickly helped me refill the water. As soon as the water glass was filled with water, the waitress came to chase me away. The reason was that there were other people in the store. Guests are waiting. This situation is understandable, and I am usually willing to cooperate, but I don't dare to compliment him when he looks like he is driving away customers. His attitude is really bad. In the end, I got angry and left without leaving a tip. I really couldn't find any reason to leave a tip. Such a bad waiter was already off-putting. (ps: The attitude of the Cantonese-speaking boss and landlady in the store is still very good. I'm sorry but you really need to improve the service level, especially in the area near the door.)

Terrific delicious. Lots of choice, great service. Vegetarian options also available. Higher price you have to pay but the quality of the food was absolutely worth it.

The dim sum I ate here was really fresh and delicious. The wonton soup was also very filling and had a great taste. the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was served quickly and the presentation was very stylish. Many thanks to the entire team.

Wonderful Cantonese food, great service.

As true asian, me and my family confirm this place is 100% legit. Go here if you craving for Chinese food. We ended up order so many dishes after 3 weeks explore central EU. Lovely experience, friendly and fast service to tourist. TOP !!

A really really good Chinese restaurant in the middle of Frankfurt City!

Very tasty food, service very friendly and attentive, sat "in the garden" but thanks to the patio heaters it was comfortably warm

I would recommend the spinach dumplings, the dumplings were flavorful and wrappers were chewy and moist! Fried rice was good but pork buns were not pretty authentic.

I loved this place. The food was amazing and portions were big. Recommended to friends. They

The bar is not professional at all, we ordered puer tea, they first came with oolong tea, after complaining they change that to jasmine tea, then the third attempt is still some sort of green tea. Very disappointing

Wir waren zum Mittagessen hier und es war sehr gut. Wir hatten Chicken Gong Pao und Ente in Thai Curry, beides frisch & lecker. Dazu netter Service und ein gemütliches Restaurant. Wir kommen bestimmt bald wieder…

Delicious and authentic Shanghai dishes. I‘ve already been twice in the last few months and I will definitely go again. It is pricey but well worth it.

Unfortunately, the service and meal planning has declined significantly: my food arrived long before my partner's and was told "we'll serve it beforehand". As usual, this was neither asked when ordering nor did it make sense because it was a main course. Vegetables also came later, being declared as a side dish when ordering my meal. Food was good, sitting upstairs is now more like a dining room and excuses are not appropriate given the high price for an Asian. We were here often… what a shame

Delicious food but we have to pay an extra 10% tip from an employee, wow I'm surprised that for the first time in Germany there is a certain amount of tip.

5 stars++++ we would love to come back 🤩🤩

We had an outstanding experience with friends at the restaurant. We tried four diverse main dishes and two appetizers. The food was remarkable. It was well-cooked and well-seasoned with plentiful portions. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They made us feel at home. We will certainly go back the next time we want Chinese food.

Sensational food, star cuisine. Tip: order the duck without bones

Very accommodating staff and great food! Important!: Reserve in advance!

Ein Besuch im Madame Mei ist immer wieder ein wahres Erlebnis. Das lebhafte, gemütliche und authentische Ambiente schafft eine typisch asiatische Atmosphäre, die sofort begeistert. Die Speisekarte bietet eine beeindruckende Vielfalt an raffinierten Gerichten, allen voran die großartigen Dim Sums, die mit hochwertigen Zutaten zubereitet werden und jedes Einzelne zu einem Genuss machen. Ein Essen im Madame Mei ist ein absolutes Muss für alle, die auf der Suche nach einem außergewöhnlichen kulinarischen Mmoment sind.

Ate dim sum on a recommendation. Was great. The fact that we were sitting in a covered courtyard was unexpected. Lots of Asian crowd, most of them didn't finish their menu - we were one of the few who left the restaurant without a doggy bag. Follow the lead of the trained service.

Delicious foods and excellent service. Best service so far in Germany I have experienced. Really enjoyed!!!

The food was great. The waitress were also very nice. However, I realize that they have decreased the number of prawns in their fried rice. Overall, this place is still worth a visit.

Fantastic place, lovely and cosy atmosphere, the staff are friendly and the food is great, big portions though but taste good. I would definitely revisit and i definitely recommend.

Absolute recommendation! Best cucumber salad ever. Reservation essential!

Great service, very good price/performance ratio meets good quality.

The decoration is very good, nothing else to say

I often visit Madame Mei and was impressed right from the start! The atmosphere is always very cozy and modern, perfect for feeling good. The menu offers a great selection and every dish is fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. The staff is always friendly and attentive, always ready to answer questions and make recommendations without being intrusive. Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations. You can tell that quality and customer satisfaction come first here. Absolute recommendation for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

The food was so delicious I would go there again and again

Great food. Excellent and friendly service. Wonderful time. Reccomend the boa buns.

Zum sonntäglichen Mittagessen mal was anderes. Die Bedienung ist aufgesetzt höflich, ein wenig vordernd und mit dem Trinkgeld nicht zufrieden was sie sehr direkt zeigt. (Obwohl sie die Suppe vergessen hatte) Die Getränke sind gehoben im Preis 9€ ein Glas Weisburgunder oder Riesling 5€ für 0,33 Bier. Da geht 9€ für Eistee oder Limettendrink (0,5l) direkt noch. Das ist aber auch Alles was es zu bemängeln gibt. Wir sassen nah der Tür da zieht es halt mal kurz ansonsten schön eingerichtetes Restaurant. Die Dimsums sind in großer Zahl angeboten unnnd nicht von der Stange. Echt zu empfehlen. Die Portionen sind angemessem bis groß (Reisgerichte). Auch hier extravagante Würzung und Zubereitung. Die Ente ist auf den Punkt gebraten rosa. So was bekommt man selten.

Delicious food, very nice service.

Good food, friendly staff and cute decoration. We tried only four dishes because there were only two of us. I will come back again with more friends to try more things!

The food is okay but ridiculously expensive: 15 euros for a dish of wasserspinat, and steamed rice is not included, you have to pay 6€ for a small bowl. Will not come back.

All around great! Super nice service, perfect food, really nice atmosphere. Highly recommended. The food came very quickly even though it was busy.

Absolutely delicious! FYI: you need to have a reservation. Great and kind service 🙏🏼 Everything tasted absolutely authentic and amazing… Dumplings, cucumber salad, Broccolini, bok choy, fried rice, sesame chicken, peppered beef, duck with the insanely good sauce… Sesame ice cream. So yummy 10/10 🤤

Incredibly delicious!! 😍 When we want to treat ourselves to absolutely amazing Chinese food, we always go to Madame Mei! I can highly recommend the cucumber salad as a starter, the dressing is perfectly seasoned and has a hint of spiciness. Then of course dim sum: I like the BBQ pork buns (photo) and the xiao long bao (soup dumplings) best. For the main course yesterday I had duck in sweet and sour plum sauce - the duck was perfectly cooked, super tasty and tender. As a dessert I can recommend the mango cream with tapioca pearls. Sooooooo delicious and a perfect ending!

Atmosphere and service seems okay. We tried Chow Mein with beef and Shrimp Fried rice. Both were too oily for us. We couldn’t finish the meals. We will not prefer this restaurant again.

One of the best dinsum I ever have Suprisingly amazed with everything here. Never thought to find a dinsum place to be this good, especially in western country. Very authetic Little bit pricy, but you get what you paid. Definetly die die must eat place

The food was bombastically good! Authentic, delicious - simply outstanding! Fine Chinese cuisine. The half ducks are so delicious! The service was friendly. Now comes the BUT... After 1.5 hours we had just finished the main course and we were kindly informed that the next ones were already here and that we should please pay promptly. They apologized and we received a small dessert to share for free. When I asked, it was confirmed that they usually only schedule 1.5 hour slots on weekends. We found that very, very sad! We would each have liked to order a dessert and a drink.

After a week of no Asian food we decided we needed some good Chinese food. Somehow we were able to walk in and snag a table- but I guess reservations are recommended for most (tasty/good) restaurants in Frankfurt. Stumbled into this spot when we saw the dimsum sign- surprisingly good for European Chinese food. We only ordered two dimsum dishes but hey if you’re Asian and like your steamed fish- they do it well- not overcooked at all. A cute German old couple didn’t even know it was on the menu- they’re regulars too. Dimsum is good. The salted egg yolk steamed bun was very authentic! Saw a lot of non Asians ordering Dimsum and the sweet and sour pork? It was literally on every table! Price wasn’t bad. And tasted much better than schnitzel!

We ate in the restaurant and were impressed by the quality of the Soeisen. The appetizers (soups and dim sum) are particularly excellent. We're definitely not here for the last time!

Waiters who are addicted to tips and are also unfriendly. One of the worst restaurants in Frankfurt!!!! Please avoid.

Beautifully decorated Chinese restaurant with delicious cuisine and friendly and attentive staff. We would love to come back!

Food is excellent but double espresso for 8 Euro is overkill

They kept asking for a tip, and in the end I paid about 5 euros, but I felt pretty bad about it. I'm going now

The food was incredibly tasty and the staff was very quick and friendly. Unfortunately we are only tourists, otherwise we would eat there more often :-)

A gorgeous restaurant where you can eat Chinese food. Love there noodles with shrimp and dim sum. Nice service filling up the tea water. But sometimes it takes too long foods to be served.

I was very touched to be able to eat Cantonese food with such care in Germany.

Very nice ambience, good service, food outside of the pure mainstream, reasonable prices, definitely recommended

Overpriced, but the food was just ok, definitely not a highlight. We tipped 10% for lunch because the service had been okay up to that point, and then we got a long face from the young waitress. What does she expect from us? 50% tip or what? In any case, it was our last visit to this restaurant.

Overpriced, not delicious food, unfriendly service staff.

A distinctive kitchen serving Chinese cuisine. Advance reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

Ask for a tip directly if the service wasn't good.

Everyone ist super friendly the food is delicious and it's very beatuiful

Omg - the quality food went down - I can’t believe the food taste lacked the authenticity and quality of meat and vegetables were subpar and questionable.. I’m so disappointed upon my genuine concern brought to one of staff about the questionable food - the staff was dismissive and has audacity to ask for tips… I’m concerned whether ingredients were kept in safe temperatures etc and there are frequent checks on the expiry date of food item - cause I’m really sure some of my dishes were off by lots..😩

Soy sauce bottle had flies in it! Food was good. Service was rude. After we didn’t give them tip for the flies in the soy sauce, she made an annoyed face which is not justified.

La señora que cobra los pagos le recuerda que la propina no está incluida en la factura, y al parecer, parece tener un monto mínimo en mente por debajo del cual la propina no debe caer. Cometí el error de dejar una propina que estaba por debajo de sus expectativas, lo que la llevó a rechazar la propina y reaccionar con grosería e irritación. Es como si ella creyera que la propina se le debe a ella, y en la cantidad que ya ha considerado apropiada. No puedo creer que esta mujer piense que puede ser tan grosera con los clientes. Por lo que leí en otras críticas, los buenos modales no son comunes en este lugar. Nunca más.
