MONCHIS - Sushi - Bar - Freßgass Frankfurt in Frankfurt am Main

The food was good and tasty, but the service was a bit slow...

Nice people and very cool atmosphere, but Shisha is just disastrous

The morning coffee is fragrant and gives you energy for the whole day. The bagels are fresh and fluffy, with a wide variety of delicious fillings. The music is pleasant and the volume is just right for a relaxed conversation. The chairs are comfortable, perfect for enjoying a snack and relaxing. The atmosphere is welcoming and makes you want to come back.

Unfortunately service is so slow, you can understand that you need more employees. Unfortunately it took the lady so long to bring our espresso and it was cold, so she changed it, but she charged me the cost of 2 espressos. Too bad

We were here with a group for lunch today. We waited 1.5 hours for the food, the service was very unfriendly. The chicken breast was cold, the sushi was probably ok, the vegetarian food hasn't arrived yet. Unfortunately I cannot recommend the restaurant.

The inside area was empty We had to wait 9 minutes until the waiter came (not all tables were occupied) We order 2 cold drinks - Cola Zero and a schweppes - so nothing complicated. After sitting at the table for a total of 21 minutes, the waiter came - I wanted to pay immediately (I didn't want to have to wait forever again) His words were - I'll come back straight away and just bring the gentleman the Cola Zero that was on his tray - and in the meantime 3 tables got up and left - one of them had ordered food - she then went over to the burger shop. My girlfriend called out after 4 minutes - sorry - he pretended not to hear her - 35 minutes for 0.2 drinks. It's a shame with 2 waiters -

The service is slow and we waited 90 minutes for the food. Then it was partly cold and cold soups don't taste good. Two dishes were completely missing, but were still on the bill. When we didn't want to pay this, the response was very unfriendly and absolutely unprofessional. Never again!

On a Saturday at lunchtime it seemed completely overwhelmed. Waiting for over an hour for the food, when it came there was nothing for two parties, and there was no response to requests for missing cutlery from those who had already received food. After polite insistence, the response was also unfriendly. We should have listened to other reviews that said similar things. Very unfortunate.

Unfortunately, cleanliness is not the top priority here

Perfect for AMG-driving brothers from Dietzenbach.

We didn’t order at all in an organized manner, we waited for sushi for half an hour and in the end they said that the kitchen was closed

Very nice service, drinks and cigars were perfect.

The service was great, but the prices are no longer justifiable. Two mint teas and a large bottle of water €40!

An expensive restaurant with reasonable taste.

I can only recommend the shop. Top service, top staff, top food

A nice restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and very nice staff. We were able to order quickly and received our food and drinks quickly. I tried the ramen soup while I was there and I highly recommend this one. I can only recommend that everyone who is traveling along the Zeil in Frankfurt to eat there.

Very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff 😊 Recommended 😊

We waited over 1.5 hours for our sushi and still didn't get everything, even though we asked several times. The taste was good, but the long wait and poor service didn't make it worth it. Unfortunately no recommendation

We had to wait 1 hour for edamame. These are simply beans that I can make at home in 5 minutes. Our table next to us and another table received their complete 5-course menu before us even though we were definitely in the restaurant when there was very little activity. Really really bad

The service is bad. Long waiting times, not flexible and unfriendly. The staff smokes e-cigarette at the bar. Bowl was a lump of rice with cheap meat, 2 lettuce leaves, 1 radish, 3 half slices of cucumber, 4 rose peppers and few beans. It's so loud that you can barely hold a conversation. So it's really not a nice atmosphere and I can't recommend it for the prices.

Unfortunately, our visit to this restaurant was extremely disappointing. From the first contact, the service was rude. When we asked about the menu we were told in an unfriendly tone that it was very busy and that if we didn't have patience we should find another restaurant. Nevertheless, we stayed and showed understanding. We ordered water, but although guests who arrived later received their drinks promptly, we were ignored. Even with two small children we had to wait significantly longer. Additionally, we only received a single napkin for our family of four. The condition of the car seat was unacceptable - extremely dirty, sticky and apparently not cleaned for a long time. The originally white surface was now light brown with dirt. Overall our visit was a big disappointment. Unfriendly service, lack of attention and poor hygiene – we cannot recommend this restaurant under any circumstances.

The interior design with the lights and cherry blossoms was very stylish and cozy. We were warmly welcomed and served quickly. We had to ask once because a drink was missing, but that came quickly and the waiter apologized. To eat there was fried sushi and edamame. Both on point and tasty. Unfortunately, the homemade strawberry lemonade was too sweet for us. Shisha was ok too, it just took a long time until we got new coal. Not exactly cheap for €25, but not surprising for downtown Frankfurt. We weren't presented with a menu for the shisha either. On a Friday evening you can get a table straight away, even without a reservation or minimum consumption.

Great place. Clean and beautiful. The rolls are delicious, the presentation is beautiful. Unusual and delicious cocktails

Very solid value for money The restaurant offers good and quite acceptable quality, especially in relation to the prices. The meals were delicious and freshly prepared. Particularly noteworthy is the beautiful atmosphere – both inside and outside. Overall, a pleasant experience that I can recommend.

We wanted to spend a nice evening at Monchis on New Year's Eve and had reserved a table in advance. When we arrived we were told that there were no tables available and that we should wait outside in the cold. We were also told that there was a minimum consumption amount of €50, which was suddenly increased to €75 during the course of the conversation. The gentleman in front of the entrance explained to us that this was communicated via Instagram. We didn't find anything about it on Instagram and it wasn't mentioned on the restaurant's official website or when we made our reservation. After standing outside in the cold for several minutes, we finally decided to go to another restaurant, which of course turned out to be not easy on New Year's Eve. We are very disappointed with the restaurant's extremely unprofessional and rude behavior and will definitely avoid it in the future.

Unfortunately you have to wait too long until someone comes to order the food. I got the wrong food several times and once an ALCOHOLIC drink, even though I ordered a non-alcoholic drink 😭😭😭 I had a huge argument with the waiter, who said to me: he wasn't guilty, but Barmen😨

Very bad service. The waitress was a lady with glasses and our request wasn't fulfilled and in the end we wanted the bill but she kept working and didn't pay any attention. So I waited a very long time.

0 We just got up from the table after waiting for more than 45 minutes and no one served us, very bad and unprofessional

I really liked it. Fair prices and no waiting. Great presentation.

The sushi is pretty good, but very “germanized”. In summer it is nice to sit outside and the bathrooms are very clean.

Absolute disaster. We were there for dinner. I ordered the udon noodles with fried tofu. I was later asked again what exactly I had ordered and I confirmed by saying again exactly what I had ordered. I then received a similar but different dish that I didn't want. When I sent it back they said the actual one wasn't available and when I asked if any combination of the two dishes could be made they said it wasn't possible (although I never really understood the waiter either). The waiter also seemed to have no idea when it came to ordering drinks, because when we asked for a dry red wine, he said all red wines were sold out and only the one offered in a bottle was available and dry. At least we got it without ordering a whole bottle. I also received a glass of wine on the house as compensation for the food not being delivered properly (and because I didn't want to eat anything else). That was really nice. Unfortunately, another order was also delivered incorrectly without comment. There was a lady sitting in front of the toilet cubicles who wanted change for cleaning. I find it rather unusual in a restaurant and not that nice. All in all, the waitresses don't seem to know at all what they actually have on the menu. Too bad. For the prices you should be able to expect more. Around 8 a.m. the lights were dimmed but kept switching on and off, which was annoying. The food was probably good.

Unfortunately I had to wait forever until I was served at one of the tables outside. But the drink is good and the service was friendly when it finally came.

Service could not be any bad. My vodka could not be any sweet. Not recommended at all.

Nice location with the illuminated cherry blossom tree and thanks to the heat dispenser you could sit outside in the tent nice and dry. The service itself was friendly, just a bit inattentive (we weren't asked if we wanted to eat anything and were only given the drinks menu, plus ordering more drinks took forever because no one came)

The server was very rude when asked about delayed service. Do not recommend.

This place offers the worst service and food you can get in Frankfurt am Main. It couldn't be worse. The staff is rude and snappy. The food is overpriced and tasteless. The worst 2 hours of my life. I paid money to be yelled at and eat crappy food.

There are many delicate dishes here and they taste very tasty. It is a highly recommended small restaurant where you should reserve in advance. My tip sushi Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars

Extremely delicious restaurant, I would recommend it to everyone. Very courteous staff. If you have a business meal, this restaurant is able to print a receipt.

It's ok, but service is a bit too slow for me and I've eaten better sushi. The music is great though.

Wajih from Bar Monchis in Frankfurt is simply great! His friendly service, the great atmosphere and his passion for good drinks made the visit a highlight. Totally recommended – thanks for the great afternoon, Wajih!

Really cool location. I can't understand some of the comments at all. I've been to Monchis more often now and I have to say that the food was delicious and the service staff were always in a good mood. Can only recommend it. I will definitely go again.

To be very honest.The best sushi 🍣 I have eaten there.excellent ambiance very modern sitting 🪑 and the best part was very cool and professional staff and the drinks 🍹 they have alot variety :) highly recommended ❤️

The sushi restaurant impresses with a very cozy atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing. The shisha is excellent and complements the experience perfectly. The sushi is fresh and tastes great – really tasty and beautifully prepared. A great place for anyone who wants to enjoy good sushi in a relaxed environment.

I'm shocked. We were sent away with 9 women on the grounds that large groups had to pay a minimum turnover, in our case €450. Without this turnover there is no table. There were enough tables both outside and inside. Incredibly unfriendly staff. Never again !!!!

The service was very friendly here. But despite that and the location, the prices really shocked me and the quality wasn't as awesome as you would expect for the price.

Nice restaurant, very central, staff also friendly and helpful. Drinks were good, it just took a little long for a water, a coffee and a coke (waited 30 minutes) However, card payment is only available from €15, which is a bit of a shame.

On Tuesday lunchtime we ordered our food at 12:50 p.m. (only 6 people at the other 2 tables in the room had already eaten), but by 1:20 p.m. our food still hadn't been served. When we asked, we learned that the sushi was still being prepared. Our food wasn't served until 1:30 p.m. I asked the waiter why it took so long and he replied that there was a large table of customers upstairs and there were only a few employees in the kitchen today. I then asked if we shouldn't have been informed in advance that we would have to wait so long - after all, not everyone has the time to wait that long for food at lunchtime. Finally, two bowls were served at 1:40 p.m. (the dish was super tasty). The sushi was OK, but the rice left a lot to be desired. Despite the few guests in the restaurant, the waiting time was disproportionately long and the price-performance ratio was not right. I therefore cannot recommend this restaurant.

A very tasty bowl with fresh ingredients. Top service. Fair prices.

Too long waiting times for everything, not even served with cutlery and menu for a long time. Totally overpriced place, but food was not bad

The same dish was ordered twice, but one arrived 20 minutes after the other. The reason given was that the kitchen was overloaded - even though it was only lunchtime and the restaurant was almost empty.

I enjoy coming here regularly, whether alone or with friends. Service is top and the employees are very accommodating and friendly. Whether for sushi, shisha or just a drink, I would always recommend Monchis!

If I could I would give it minus stars... first the waiter tried to sell me a much more expensive cocktail even though I only wanted water. A cocktail was then brought and I asked for one. The food took forever and was on a table in the middle of the room the whole time. So the food was cold and didn't taste good at all... Not fresh and also tasted old. The music was also very loud, like in a nightclub, you couldn't have a conversation. When we finally wanted to pay we were told by three different waiters that someone would be coming soon. After 20 MINUTES! still nothing until we got up and complained to someone else. The waiter then simply gave himself a tip and said that if he paid by card he had to round it up. Really not recommended at all!!!

Waiters just flirting, food mediocre and overpriced

Service was a disaster, I don't know why you can hire employees like that

Prices were way too expensive, sushi completely fell apart and didn't really taste good Service was okay, ambience was very nice, so it's a real shame that the food is such a disaster

Very bad rude service! Highly overpriced. Bowl for over €20. Never again!

I don't think I had sushi worse than here. It took forever to get done and it was a sloppy poor attempt of a former kebab house to make sushi. We kind of realised it wouldn't be good just from the look of the place and the dishes on the menu but we were in a rush and the place was not that full. It's a good location and it made me sad that it's occupied by this place.

Looks pretty stylish from the outside. Unfortunately the waiter couldn't take the order Remember. There were no two drinks to choose from. The food and drink menu was very limited. We also only got one ticket for two people. Not very suitable for the high price

Very unsympathetic manager, we had to wait a long time for the menu and outside the tables were so sticky, overfilled ashtrays that smelled so bad. We called the waiter's attention and asked him to wipe the table and remove the ashtrays, he said to us please don't stress us out now Everyone is exhausted, well what else can you say about that? They are probably underpaid, I have no idea how bad the service is, the unfriendly staff and the manager have also been very unfriendly, never again!!!!!!

The sushi is highly recommended, very crispy and fresh. The waitresses are friendly and accommodating

I had the most delicious cocktail I've ever had here. It was the bar manager Mister Henri's Cocktail 🩷

Delicious. But staff is very inattentive. Looking good isn't everything 🤣☝🏻

Make mix for old chicken and fresh

Been here for the first time. Staff okay, but the food absolutely not recommended. I had a bowl that I couldn't eat. It didn't taste good and I couldn't finish it. The chicken just tasted old. I was asked whether it was tasty with an almost full plate. But after I said that it didn't taste good, that was the end of it. Overpriced - if the quality is good and it tastes okay, but I wouldn't go here again.

The food seemed suspiciously not fresh. I can't recommend it.

Service subpar, no recommendation. 10 minutes of waiting without attention is unacceptable.

No recommendation! I saw Monchis on Neotaste and thought I'd give it a try. I was there at 12:10 and the brunette waitress didn't pay attention to me, serve me or give me a menu for 10 minutes. I then left because I don't understand paying for such a "service". Such a “service” is an absolute no-go. This behavior is just unprofessional and unfriendly. I can only advise against eating here.

It doesn't work at all. Wanted to have a quick cocktail with my work colleagues. Weather, 27 degrees. Since we were out and about in Frankfurt all day, we were mostly loosely dressed outside. We didn't get in. One of the employees at the entrance asks the other, "Do we want to let those in with shorts come in?" As if we weren't present. Absolutely demeaning tone. Ridiculous. As if it were a high society club. I'm now in my mid-40s and used to go to numerous clubs and bars all over Germany, but SOMETHING. YOU are a fish shop and not a Club Apolo in Barcelona. Oh well. But do it...

We ate super delicious bowls. For lunch there is a separate menu with cheaper prices. The restaurant is spread over several floors and in front of the restaurant there is an outdoor area facing Fressgasse. The service was top.

Unfortunately the food was cold and not at all tasty. Service was rude.

Waiter number 7 on July 13, 2024 was very rude. He said he was very exhausted and we should sit outside on the right so he didn't have to serve us. Otherwise very nice atmosphere, good food and great drinks. Would come again, but on the right side ;)

Really great food and more than attentive service. We enjoyed the salad, starters and entrées on a very hot day.

Not tasty, service not competent :/

We wanted to spend a relaxing evening in this supposedly “hyped” location with my sister. Backfired... Very inattentive staff. We were neither warmly welcomed nor asked during our stay whether everything was OK. The food was catastrophic, simply inedible. The best is saved for last, when we paid we noticed that the amount was far too high, so we looked at the receipt again. A shisha was included in the bill, which we never ordered/smoked. We brought this up immediately and were cheekily asked: “Didn’t you smoke shisha?” Well, in the end the price for the shisha (€25) was deducted from the bill. But in retrospect we realized that we still paid too much •-•… No recommendation from us.

Unfortunately the service was very bad, we had to wait an extremely long time to even order… In addition, price-performance is very poor. There is little choice & everything is overpriced. The food only came after 45 minutes, with the starter… Normally you serve the starter beforehand to satisfy your hunger... After a long wait, we received our food. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth the price either. Not recommended… For such a price I expect better service & delicious food!

I've known Monchis for a few years and you can't go wrong. It's actually the best bar on the whole street at the moment and the classiest.

The food and cocktails were good, unfortunately the service is terrible.

Rude employees who act with prejudice and also want to cheat you Lg to the young man who was a waiter there on June 23rd, 2024 with his hair backwards and glasses. Not recommendable!!

Food was okay... we asked 3 times if we could turn on the heater outside because it was cold... but after 1.5 hours it still wasn't done... food is also overpriced 😅

Yesterday on the beautiful day June 8th, 2024 we were in Frankfurt. Went for something to eat, sushi and bowl why not. The sushi was okay, but the chicken bowl, the ingredients looked like they had been sitting in the kitchen unrefrigerated for a week. Lettuce was dried brown, radishes were stuck together in a slimy, indefinable layer. Disgusting !!! No apology from the waiter, the second attempt was better. A friendly, good accordion player received a tip! MONCHIS - Sushi - Bar better keep walking if you don't want to swallow Imodium!!!!!!! If you want to eat well in the corner, there is a cake shop; Cinnamood ; Left. Over 50 people went in there in 30 minutes, then I was super delicious!!!!

NEVER AGAIN!!! We drove to Frankfurt specifically to eat here. Service bad, staff very unfriendly. Food from my husband arrived, I had to wait 1 hour for my food. No cutlery? Should I eat with my hands? After I asked for cutlery, I had to wait another 10 minutes 😂 bad and so expensive. that was the first and last time!!!!! Oh yeah, and not at all like your pictures on insta. Totally dirty

Go to Gregorelli's!!!! There are just super sweet people there, unlike this store

We were visiting for the first time, PEOPLE I can only recommend it, the atmosphere is perfect. Everything is hygienic and clean, you just feel good :) Big thanks to Whanchid 🌷 He served us so well & gave us a warm welcome :) Come here laaadys @Gentelmaaans 🥰

Nice food, but they can't help but bring you ashtrays and ask for money for a toilet! Not to mention how confused the waiters are!

I mainly just went for a drink (piña colada), but stayed because of the friendly service. The team is mostly friendly and I was greeted and served in an extremely friendly manner by a blonde bartender named Nicolle. Would recommend MONCHIS again.

Unfortunately, for the second time now, we had a bad experience. The waitress was so rude, passive aggressive and rude to us. Please train your staff. It was a young girl with long brown hair. Impossible.

When it rained, the employee Ali immediately changed our shisha and our seat, brought umbrellas... great service, nice employees and thanks to the rest of the team

Regular bar, best shop on Fressgass.

DISRESPECT to the older gentleman who stood at the entrance and rudely asked us if we were there for the first time. Asked directly if we would like to eat, drink, shisha, just the lowest level. We just wanted to sit comfortably and have a drink... best of all, you won't be allowed in anyway. Professionalism 0. I will definitely advise those around me not to go there.

We had the bowls because of the 2 for 1 Neo offer, but they didn't taste good. Far too small and hardly anything inside. It also cost €21, don't go. Not justified even with the offer.

Today I’ve been here with my gf and all the girls who work here were not even looking at us. They forgot our oder and we had to wait literally 40 MINUTES!! For two Limonades!! They were chatting with each other and when I asked them:”WHERE ARE OUR DRINKS” they rolled their eyes and went outside without any answer. We left immediately after this clown-show. The most disgusting service and place ever.

I got something to eat there at night on the weekend. The waiters were definitely understaffed, it was very hectic, someone came to take the order and once to serve, and then never again. Nobody asked me if everything was okay, it really wasn't good. Cocktails were poorly prepared and the food was sometimes very bad, sometimes good. There was no response to criticism and it was also my last time.

We were at Monchis on May 10th. After we had already been sitting at our seat for 10 minutes, we independently asked for the menu. Unfortunately, even after another 15 minutes there wasn't even a menu. There was also a chic aunt behind us who asked for a straw and got it immediately after 1 minute. I have never experienced anything like it. We got up and left.😡

Such bad service!! Never again!

We wanted to sit outside, but we couldn't because there were dishes from the customers on all the tables. We waited 20 minutes for the menu to order. We asked the waitress about it and she promised to bring it straight away. After 45 minutes we left because we still didn't get the menu. Outside I saw that the dirty tables still hadn't been cleared away. I go out to eat often, but I've never experienced anything like this!

There is shisha, food and drinks here. For me as a lover of sushi and shisha, a very clear recommendation. It's always full anyway and perfectly located in the middle of Freßgass - you can't miss it! DJ friends of mine have also often performed here in the evenings, so things can really get going here in the evenings! There is plenty of seating inside as well as outside, so we never had a problem getting a seat even without a reservation.

We waited 20 minutes for a waiter and then got up because no one came and were ignored haha

The service was appalling. I wouldn't go there again. When we arrived we were brought a plate of soy sauce and chopsticks and we discovered that there were dead flies floating in the sauce. We complained and they brought us a different sauce. My brother asked for a fork and ended up having to eat the sushi by hand because the waiter didn't bring him the fork he asked for when the food was brought to him. It's worth noting that the food wasn't all that tasty for being so expensive. We ended up paying 85 euros for 3 people. The atmosphere was nice and that was what attracted us, but we should have left as soon as they brought us the soy sauce. I don't recommend it.

The ambience is not nice, too dark. More of a bar than a restaurant. The food is mediocre.

long waiting times, waiters ignore you
