Madame Mei in Frankfurt am Main

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

Overpriced, not delicious food, unfriendly service staff.

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.

The lady who collects the payments reminds you that the tip is not included in the bill, and apparently, she seems to have a minimum amount in mind below which the tip should not fall. I made the mistake of leaving a tip that was below her expectations, which led to her refusing the tip and reacting with rudeness and irritation. It’s as if she believes the tip is owed to her, and in the amount she has already deemed appropriate. I can’t believe this woman thinks she can be so rude to customers. From what I read in other reviews, good manners are not common in this place. Never again.

As always, great and familiar:) the dumplings are my alternative to Singapore and the atmosphere is like coming home to friends and at the same time in a very celebratory atmosphere:) as always, happy again:)

Food and atmosphere is really good .. But Service is very unfriendly expecially for small group of people. Always in hurry and push customers to take out plates. No greetings or No thank you for tip provided. Also while giving the bill she stressed that no tip included in the bill. I never had such experience in other chinese restaurant in frankfurt.

The Dim Sum lunch selection is very broad and the quality is very high by Chinese standards. The restaurant is extremely popular, being at the centre of Frankfurt with all those business people nearby, so reserve yourself a table. Because it is so popular, the restaurant is also very crowded and the spaces are small. It is probably a little more relaxed in the evenings, when the small spaces become a lot more cosy.

Great food, very attentive service. Not cheap, but worth the price!

There is a slight difference in taste every time you go. Still, it's averagely delicious. The biggest problem with this restaurant is the one middle-aged Chinese female server. This female server reduces the satisfaction of having a delicious meal. There is no consideration for customers at all when cleaning up all meals. He threw the dishes away and tried to put away the glasses that were more than half full of beer without asking. When I asked him not to clean them up, he said in an unpleasant tone, "Why? Do you want to drink them?"

A bit of a drive to come here and prices on somewhat expensive side but totally worth it. Friendly staff, and efficient service, dim sum freshly made and delicious, duck was not crispy as described but soft meat and good. Went on a week day for dinner , they were busy, could imagine they're busier on weekends, reservation recommended, my email reservation request not answered, so had to call.

Amazing food porn. It is so delicious. You should try the dumplings. Service is very good. Price is good. Top restaurant

All dishes were rather salty, the duck tasted precooked and reheated. The service was mediocre. Before we finalised the order I asked the waitress three times if we ordered too much and she said it should be fine. We ended up taking home 30% of the food. When she brought the bill, she stressed that tip is not included. Used to be much better! Very pricey, one small soup for 8€ is a lot. I will not visit again

We were a bit disappointed with the waitress' advice. She just wanted the guests to order a lot, even more than necessary. When we expressed our desire for a supper, she immediately recommended 6 “small” vegetable bowls, which were not even on the menu. In the end the bill comes to 8 euros for the little soup. In addition, the Canton duck and beef stew are not fresh.

Hele verfijnde keuken. Echt heerlijk gegeten! Eerst twee dim sums gegeten en daarna twee hoofdgerechten. Dit was echt heerlijk samen met de Chinese thee.

Correct and polite treatment Extensive menu of dishes The dining room is a bit small. Bathrooms 1 floor.

Typical Chinese food. Maybe the dining room is a little small. Inconvenience bathed upper floor. Correct treatment. Broad letter.

It was all good, from the prompt service to the delicious food. The wait staff are incredible there.

This restaurant is a bit pricey, but the taste is good. However, it may vary from day to day, but on the day I visited, the mapo tofu had a slightly stale smell. The best food I ordered that day was the vermicelli in the picture, but I can't remember the name of the food I ordered. It's good on its own, but it's really delicious when you add the spicy sauce that's on the table. The cucumber soup was also the best I've had recently. It seemed like they were sharing a terrace seat with Sakura next door, and the bathroom was near the stairs leading to the second floor. Please note this if you have difficulty using stairs. It came to over 30 euros per person including drinks. I overate.

We love coming back here again and again and it's comfort food for us! We always get great service and amazing food. Portions are for sharing! Ambiance out back is great also! See you next year!

Waitress was really impolite. I wanted a different table as it was hot outside. And she gave us a face and was mumbling in our face. That she was not happy with my request. Than the meat dish had not much meat in there. Really overrated food. The rice is broken rice which is not good. Way overpiced for small simple dishes. Read the rest of the reviews. Waitress asking for tips? We had the same meat dish as in this picture. Our dish had more sauce than eat in it. What a cheaters they are. Below is my girlfriends review of this place. This is the first time I have eaten such bad Cantonese food, and the worst waiter. I hate Chinese people’s discrimination against Chinese people. One hundred negative reviews👎

Great food and friendly host. The portions are quite big and they are generous with their ingredients.

I have been coming to this place for few years now and every time the food is top quality, but the problem is the waiters.. they are really really rude! Some of the incidents that happened so far: - a friend of mine ordered two dumplings and one main dish and as she couldn’t finish it all, she wanted to pack them. We were paying separately and one the waitresses was calculating the cost per person. She looked at our friend and said “waoww.. you have eaten a lot” like why do you care if we have eaten that much? It’s good for the business - we were there last weekend with some friends and she was paying for the tab. The same above rude waitress told her that “tip is not included in the price”. In Germany you don’t have to tip, it’s not like in US and saying this bluntly was just rude! In both occasions it was the same waitress! Such a great establishment and food experience getting ruined by the rudeness of the service!!

We came for the dim sum and were very disappointed. Besides being colourful and looking good for instagram pictures, the taste and quality was not at par with other cheaper dim sum venues. The service was fine at the beginning. We did not like the attitude of our head waitress because she was trying to charge extra for any request we made. For example, asking €3 for a cup of hot water so my mom can take her medication. At the end, she even dare asking for tips because this is the rule in Germany. I’ve been visiting Germany for 8 years now and this is the first time I ever hear the comment that tip is mandatory in this country. Come on, don’t take us for fools.

Food is really good but the service really needs to improve.I was asked to go earlier than one hour while I was making the reservation over the phone,then we had to wait half an hour to order the dessert and although I was speaking German and English with the waitress I was ignored. While I added a tip ,the waitress would not thank me but looked disappointed and got frustrated as my friend was looking for his card to pay initially.It is a shame not put the attention on the customer as food is not the reason to excuse the rest.I would not come back .

Was here for lunch with customers. The restaurant itself looks clean and elegant. The food was mediocre to good. I would actually have given more stars if the waitress (an older Chinese woman) hadn't been so rude to me when I was cashing out. At first she gave me a normal receipt. But since I needed a receipt for entertainment, I politely asked her for one. But then she got really angry at me and asked me why I hadn't said that beforehand and that she had to go to the checkout again and print out the receipt! The whole thing took less than 2 minutes, so I didn't understand her overreaction. It was absolutely unnecessary and a no-go for customers. I didn't want to stoop to her level and didn't say anything else, but it was very annoying. Went in in a good mood and came out in a bad mood.

So sorry, yes everything has become more expensive but €6.90 for 0.5L of cola is outrageous!!!!

One of the worst experiences of our lives. Asked for a table, ignored us at first, even laughed when looking at us, and then (when we approached them again and insisted) reluctantly gave us a table. Thought that was because it was full, but no, there were many empty tables that remained empty while we were there. To make it worse, food was really below average and absurdly expensive.

Great restaurant, have been there several times!

Great place for authentic Chinese food and or dim sum. The waitresses are great and attentive. Must try are crispy bbq pork bun, steamed shrimp dumplings, xiao long bao, pan fried radish cake and sweet and sour pork and the mango pudding with tapioca as dessert.

Nice place and food but, definitely totally over rated and super charged for the hat you get .. a small bowl of rice, 80grams, 9 euro

Very nice and attentive staff. Food very good and traditional; but could be a little more seasoned. The ambience is wonderful!

Very nice restaurant, very nice and attentive staff. The food was excellent.

Beside the high prices and usual German service I was waiting for the food with anticipation given the rating of the place. It is objectively disappointing, I ordered the mapo tofu and a bland red slightly spicy soup arrived. Bland is an understatement, none of the tasty ingredients that makes mapo tofu great made it to the dish.

The service was so poor. They kept us waiting while we waited at the entrance, eventually we had to go up and ask ourselves. They gave us weird looks as if we were making an outlandish request. Terrible service, mediocre food, wouldn't go back

Food was tasty, but rather expensive, but the large iced tea was far too expensive at €9.5. Xiao Long Bao tasted authentic, but they were rather small and almost all had run out.

Ich war in letzter Zeit mehrmals für ein eher kleines Mittagsessen im Madame Mei. Das Essen hat mich dabei immer sehr überzeugt. Das gilt offensichtlich auch für die vielen chinesischen Gäste!

It felt like eating in Hong Kong The female owner was also very friendly. I want to visit again

Very authentic far away from the "normal" Chinese restaurant. All dishes were delicious and cleverly prepared.

Nice Chinese restaurant with great service.

Poor price-performance ratio and a long wait for the main course. Food was OK but not special. Wine and ambience were good.

Incredibly beautifully prepared, but completely mediocre in terms of taste. We were particularly shocked at the prices. Not everything in Dim Sum is homemade and the Maultaschen were still frozen inside. For a small rice dish without vegetables 26.50. Take your Instagram photos, but then go ahead and don't forget the tip. I gave it 10% because the service was nice, but she clucked her tongue loudly and didn't even say goodbye when she left. A pity.

Very good Chinese cuisine. Nice ambience and nice service.

Came with a group of friends for dinner. Great service and tasty food. Can't remember everything we ordered but a few were the house recommendations. Everything was great. Would definitely come back. Cash and card accepted.

The atmosphere of the establishment is very reminiscent of a Vietnamese restaurant, but the actual food has nothing to do with formal Chinese cuisine, just to increase the price by presenting the dishes, but the actual service and dishes are not at a good level . Even after we had been sitting for 30 minutes, the waitress was at the next table clearing the cutlery without noticing us who were constantly waving. The food was also disappointing. Beautifully made for looks but a rip off......We won't be going back!

I struggled a bit with this review. The food was really good. However, the service for us was quite poor, slow and only partially attentive. Together with the most uncomfortable chairs in Frankfurt, the feeling of well-being suffered greatly. A pity.

Completely overpriced food, very very bad, dishes did not correspond to the picture as described on the menu, food arrived lukewarm to cold, you were not provided with cutlery or a plate, the price-performance ratio is not there at all. Most of the staff didn't speak German and were also very unfriendly. Our complaint was skillfully ignored, first and last visit to Madame Mei, there is much better Asian food nearby for a smaller budget. I find it very incomprehensible that this restaurant has so many positive reviews, as it has absolutely nothing to do with fine dining! Food was inedible so the plates remained full. 0/5 stars.

Chic and modern furnishings. Diem sum are very tasty. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Far too expensive and the food wasn't particularly good and the waitress forced you to leave a tip. We were there with six people. I invited my friends the bill amount was €290 for side dishes and I got €300. I was then called stingy and the waitress went to my colleagues and told me off. I didn't leave a tip so I'll never see this place again and apart from the food it wasn't particularly good either.

Madam MEH! We came in to get dim sum takeout. Food was mediocre (my suspion: mass produced elsewhere). No chopsticks, no dipping sauce, no soy sauce, nothig! Even the garnish looked embarassed. For that much money- Definately NOT coming back.

Das Madame Mai ist ein gehobenes chinesisches Restaurant, dass authentisch chinesische Küche anbietet. Das Restaurant liegt seitlich der Börse, die Sitzgelegenheiten sind im ganzen Haus verteilt. Am schönsten sitzt man in der ersten Etage. Die Bedienung geht sehr schnell und ist sehr freundlich, dass es das Menü ist einzigartig. Wir hatten gebratenen Reis mit WasserSpinat, davor Frühlingsrollen, ich hatte die gedämpften Rippchen und die per Hand zerdrückten Gurken als Vorspeise gedämpften Reis und Gambas mit Bohnen als Hauptspeise. Ich habe lange nicht mehr so lecker chinesisch gegessen, ich kann dieses Restaurant anstandslos empfehlen und wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

The best Cantonese cuisine, the pastries are very tasty and the presentation is also excellent. All dishes are prepared with care, the chef is fantastic. It even feels like it could get a Michelin recommendation.

All dumplings are just awesome!

Very fine food, attentive good service. But what doesn't work at all: the next table is cleared away and sprayed with household cleaner and cleaned like that!! Of course, the smell greatly affected the enjoyment of the meal... A cloth with warm water has to suffice here as long as there are still guests around.

We had on Friday February 16th. Reserved for 2 people at 9 p.m. Unfortunately we got stuck in a traffic jam and our arrival was delayed by 30 minutes. I have been told several times by phone that the kitchen closes at 10 p.m. When I entered the restaurant at 9:30 p.m., I was not greeted, but was told several times that the kitchen closes at 2200 p.m., the waitress was very rude and rude. When she brought the menus she said kitchen again in a cheeky tone....!!! Then the colleague came and didn't greet me either and said kitchen in a cheeky tone... I was a regular there, now I won't go there anymore. Service completely incompetent and rude. The food there is good, but there are now many other Chinese restaurants in Frankfurt that offer better food and better service. ————— We had on Friday February 16th.

As always, delicious food in a lovely atmosphere and attentive staff for years.

An upscale level of Chinese cuisine, this restaurant has declined over the past 4 years. The ambience is still great. The service is very attentive, courteous and friendly. The food used to be better. Four years ago I experienced my second, perfect dim sum from Hong Kong here. As of 2024 it is good, but not very good. Portions smaller, more frozen goods, more uniform taste.

Everything was delicious and we ordered everything. Service was great. Restaurant was beautiful. However, the prices were not the usual ‘Chinatown’ dim sum prices. I guess they can charge steep prices because the food is great. Although I would love to keep coming here, I’ll come without the whole family with teenage boys. 😆

Nice restaurant with very attentive service. The Peking duck, which you have to order in advance, was delicious, but the oyster sauce served with it is very intense and the truffle rice doesn't go well with it in my opinion. Prices are high, especially for the drinks.

If you weren't here, you missed out on Chinese food.

Great restaurant Just be careful, the portions are huge

Too expensive for the dim sum, you need to pay a lot for the food !

The roast duck is delicious. You need to make a reservation two days in advance or the day before. The service staff is very good. The fried rice is quite salty and other dishes are delicious. It is quite authentic Chinese food.

Great spot to go on a date or with a another couple so you can share everything! We had fried sepia cake, dumplings, and cumber salad. All were so good but the cucumber salad still has me dreaming about the dressing. We also had sides of fried rice, gong pao chicken, and braised pork belly. Everything was delicious, no complaints. Definitely will be back. Service and atmosphere were also great.

The dim sum here are delicious! I ordered har gow, siu mai, seetang, and fried noodle. All three dishes taste great, but the portion size is quite small and the prices are quite high. However, the waitstaff is friendly and attentive.

说实话味道比较一般，尤其是烧鹅没有滋味，只有膻味。其他菜中规中矩吧。 但环境真的蛮不错的，服务也可以！

Bestes DimSum in Deutschland! Habe 8 Jahre in Hongkong gelebt und lebe einen Teil des Jahres in Vancouver => ich weiß, was GUTES DimSum ist - und das bei Madame Mei spielt ganz oben in der Top Liga mit und ist jeden Cent wert!! 👏👏😋😋

Service is terrible. Food is okayish but far away for worth the price. We spend a couple of hundred euros for the Peking and they charge you 1 euro per extra pancake - unacceptable.

Sehr gutes Essen und der (recht internationale) Service bemüht sich die Gäste zufrieden zu stellen.

Great taste of homemade dishes! Friendy service.

Essen ist okay bis gut. Meine Familie kommt hier regelmäßig und bestellt auch reichlich und ist immer freundlich und deswegen finde ich es sehr schade, dass keine der Kellnerinnen es schafft ein Lächeln an den Tisch zu bringen und schon quasi wieder weg ist obwohl man noch nicht fertig bestellt hat

Sehr leckere dim sum und Hauptgerichte so viel das es für 2 Tage reicht. Toller Service, Preise ok.

Super lecker und authentisch!!! Dim-Sum perfekt zum teilen. Besonders empfehlenswert ist die Peking Ente (muss aber vorbestellt werden - da authentisch und mind. 24h benötigt)

Great place for dining...simply for lunch or special occasions this place is just perfect..

Authentisches, sehr leckeres Essen und zuvorkommender Service.

Essen war für mich okay. Die Ambiente fand ich schön. Daher eine solide 4 Sterne-Bewertung von mir :)

Das Essen war zwar gut und die Bedienung nett, aber es war unglaublich teuer und die Portionen winzig. Für 4 Dumplings 9 Euro zu verlangen ist Wucher!
