The noodlemaker in Frankfurt am Main

The pasta is fresh, but overall pretty average. The taste and service didn't really impress me. Okay for a quick bite, but nothing more.

Highly recommended! Delicious food, freshly prepared. The staff is incredibly friendly, the service is quick, and the quality is outstanding. I eat there very often during my lunch break and have never been disappointed.

The NoodleMaker is okay, but nothing special. The noodles are fresh, but the taste was rather average, and the service was somewhat inattentive. Okay for a quick snack, but nothing extraordinary.

The mala ramen was delicious! It was a little spicy, but the noodles were cooked well in the broth. The iced tea was refreshing and not too sweet, making it a great combination. I'd definitely visit again. Highly recommended!!

The atmosphere was great, and I had the mala ramen and iced tea, which were both delicious. Since it has cilantro in it, be sure to ask them to leave it out! I highly recommend the iced tea, it's super delicious.

It's spicy and numbing, just right. It's a perfect match for the Korean palate! I tried Mala Ramen, and it was spicier than Shin Ramyun. The service was also great. The restaurant was bustling with people.

It's really so~~~ delicious! You must try the mala ramen! It's a bit spicy, but it's a level of spiciness that Koreans can handle. I had a great time eating it in Europe, where there's really no spicy food.

Authentic and very fast and attentive service

How many more times do I have to order takeout from you before I can have a meal that doesn't spill?

Service really bad food too salty and small and mediocre

Based on the many positive reviews, we were eager to try this restaurant. Although it was busy, we were quickly seated. The noodles were handmade and delicious! Unfortunately, the food as a whole was nothing special. The meat was tough and dry. Furthermore, something was forgotten in our order, and when I went to take the rest of my order with me, they gave me a plastic container, and I had to transfer the noodle soup myself. A shame.

Outrageous customer service on the phone. When I said "Hello," the response was: "No hello. Please hurry up," and then they simply hung up. Sorry, but never again!

Absolutely delicious. Great service, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices!

This is a very good value Chinese noodle restaurant in Frankfurt. It's always crowded. A bowl of steaming hot noodle soup warms you up. The only downside is that the soup tastes different each time. Sometimes it's delicious, sometimes it's just average. The noodles are generous in size, which is a point worth praising.

Quick, tasty, short menu. It has a continuous bar. The downside is the smells and poor ventilation, but the food is very good.

Poor service attitude, average taste of noodles

Every time I come to Frankfurt, I have to go to this noodle shop to eat, even if it is just a layover, I will go there specifically to eat.

The taste is 90% restored, the noodles are very chewy, and the boss is very enthusiastic. I heard that he is a fellow villager, so he gave us 2 barbecues and hot water. Thank you

Very authentic Lanzhou beef noodles, as a Lanzhou native, I think it is very delicious

Spectacular!! Have some handcrafted noodles in downtown Frankfurt.

Great Chinese place. Very fast.

The food was really delicious and served quickly. The service was very prompt! However, it was extremely steamy in the room.

Some people really have forgotten their roots. Three people went to eat during off-peak hours, but they were not allowed to sit at a table for four. They also lied to us and said they had made a reservation. As a result, the four seats were still empty after they finished eating. When we went to complain, the boss said that when we dine in their restaurant, we should obey their rules and follow the host's wishes. Three people just can't sit at a table for four. It's really arrogant. Some people have made too much money and have forgotten their roots. Aren't they afraid of retribution in the future?

Tasted like more. Simply perfect. I felt like I was in China during my student days.

The food is always delicious. You can watch the noodles being pulled by hand. There's a good selection of vegan dishes, too. I love the Chinese tofu salad and the vegetarian lamian wok, which is also vegan. The service is extremely fast, sometimes cheerful, sometimes not so much.

I lived in China for 6 years and the quality of this restaurant is almost as good as you would find in China. I like eating there often. The food comes relatively quickly and the service is good and friendly.

There was nothing wrong with the food, but we, a group of eight, were "asked" to leave the restaurant relatively quickly after dinner because new guests were arriving, even though we still had drinks. If we had been informed beforehand that the table after us would be taken, it wouldn't have been a problem at all. But the way we were practically kicked out was extremely rude, especially since we were told we could stay seated for another 10 minutes to finish our drinks. Then sending the guests to our table, who then became impatient (that was just another insult), and then cursing that it was all because of the "shitty book fair" – warm greetings from our editors and authors group ✌🏻 – really put the final nail in the coffin. No thanks, I don't support that kind of behavior. Regardless of the busyness due to the book fair.

Best noodles, very tasty, never miss it when you are in Frankfurt.

10 stars for how fast the food arrived. We just ordered, I go to the rest room and come back and our food is already there. The fast service was indeed very satisfying. I did not like the fact that we had 3 people in 5 minutes come ask what our order was, at some point it made me very nervous but I understand they are very busy so. However, the person that took care of us was very cheerful, very sweet and humble. Even though it is busy, you can barely tell because once you sit, you don’t face others so bonus points for that actually. Food was very delicious and the menu had a variety of choices. Also the view is and overall atmosphere is very cozy. The place is very clean and well tidy. We will definitely come back again 😊

The dish arrived incorrectly, despite clear communication with the waiter, who sent us back and forth. The incorrectly prepared food was not changed, and I was told I was making the mistake, so I ate it out of respect. The soup broth was full of flavor enhancers.

Very delicious food. The food was prepared quickly. You can watch the chefs at work.

Very authentic beef noodles with spicy oil

Incredibly delicious food, large portions

Incredibly delicious food, large portions

Nice 👍I love the Babao Tea, Bā Bǎo Chá Tee 🍵

So, good Chinese cuisine. You can't go wrong.

The handmade noodles are truly delicious. They're not just any old gimmicks, they're expertly stretched to the exact thickness and shape you order in just 30 seconds, then boiled and served right away. I'd actually give it a 5-star rating, but the soup for the noodle soup is the bland kind you often get in Chinese restaurants, so as a Japanese person it's not satisfying. I think the noodles without the soup are very tasty.

Ordered it for delivery based on the good reviews and was absolutely disappointed. A few carelessly thrown-together Asian noodles with barely any vegetables and not even a sauce. Not good value for money...

It was okay, it tasted good, but it wasn't my taste.

A terrible experience! We had a reservation, and when we arrived, someone pointed in one direction and called out "there" rather rudely. Our menus were handed out as we walked to our seats at the bar overlooking the outside. When we ordered, the first meal arrived less than two minutes late and included two ingredients that weren't supposed to be in it. Furthermore, everything was swimming in a sauce that wasn't shown in the menu photo. Obviously, everything was pre-cooked and had just been reheated. My meal looked completely different from what it said on the menu. Since the waitress couldn't understand what I was saying, the manager came over. I could barely say anything before he quite aggressively snatched my plate, or rather bowl, away from me. My husband's meal arrived a little later and was cold, with undercooked noodles. There was no apology, no attempt to understand what we were trying to say, and without eating a single bite, we paid the full price and left. We've never been treated so unkindly in a restaurant.

Super fresh and everything sooo delicious!

The noodle maker is simply unbeatable! The noodles are fresh, super delicious, and you can immediately tell that everything is made with love. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel immediately welcome. Every dish is a highlight—whether classic or creative. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves good food!😁😁❤️

The value for money is very good! You sit at high tables with high chairs (a bit like bar stools). The food is good and came quickly.

The noodles are made in front of the customer. A word of advice: get a table inside so you can watch them make it. In addition to being a spectacle, the food is excellent. Go there with your eyes closed. However, it was quite full when we arrived. Plan to make a reservation if there are a lot of you.

The noodles are excellent, as is the broth. They specify whether the dish contains garlic and the spice level. We can even see them preparing the noodles they're going to serve you!

I'm thrilled with the huge selection of delicious dishes. The noodles are handmade, the broth is very hearty, and the seasoning is savory. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service is attentive. It feels like you're in Asia. I'd love to come back 😃

So far, the best lamiàn I've tried outside China. They pull the dough in front of you, super fresh pasta.

Not much information on allergens on the website, so called beforehand to ask about gluten free options because someone in our party has celiac disease (in German). The person said yes, then immediately hung up the phone. We go there and ask another time at the door, before being seated. Again, we are told there are gluten free options and brought to a table. When they come to take our order, we ask again because the menu is unclear on what the options are. The server tells us she doesn't know and disappears. We try asking 3 other staff members, but it's very busy and they all say they don't know and leave. Finally after 20+ minutes someone explains they only have 1 option of rice noodles and some things would need to be removed from the dish to make it work. Once the food arrived, it was delicious. I doubt the gluten free dish was actually gluten free though, since they served it with bread anyway.

Food was awesome and you can see how the noodles are made fresh

The food at The Noodlemaker is decent and the place has a nice vibe, but the overall experience could be better. The service and treatment from the servers felt a bit unfriendly. A little more politeness and warmth would really make the visit more enjoyable. With improved customer service, this spot could be much better.

Our main dishes with noodles were delicious! Out appetizers were tasty but a bit too much cumin.. if less, would be top!

I went for dinner on a Sunday evening, convinced by the numerous positive reviews. Alas, I obviously have to evaluate my experience that evening, regardless of whether it was typical or not. My husband and I ordered two identical plates of noodles with egg, mushrooms, and tomato; and three sides: a plate of fried tofu, a plate of spiced bread, and a plate of spicy potatoes; two hot jasmine teas. Everything was also listed on the menu, and we pointed out the serving sizes with our fingers, seeing the waiter's difficulty understanding English. It's strange because they're located near Messe, where there are many tourists, as events are often held there. Given that the menu says "vegan" next to some dishes, but in actual fact, they're vegetarian, I'll explain how the dinner went. In fact, only one plate of noodles arrived, so my husband received the other dish, even though it was identical to mine, halfway through dinner because they'd forgotten about it. Then came the tofu and spiced bread, but there was no sign of potatoes: this time, we didn't insist. Finally, the tea was essentially a cup of tea with the classic tea bag and a few dried flowers, priced at €4.50 each. A bit pricey for what it is. The bill was €48. In theory, he hadn't counted the potatoes when he saw the total, so they probably hadn't even been noted in the order. The experience was therefore not satisfactory, even though the noodles were very fresh, tasty, and light, despite the fairly substantial portion. The tofu, on the other hand, had cilantro, which is often mentioned on menus due to the many people who hate it (myself included), and the bread wasn't great at all. Go just for the noodles—they're good and definitely worth a try—but nothing else, and keep in mind that the "vegan" on the menu isn't vegan.

The smell from the place is heavenly. I found the soup somewhat plain tasting and couldn't finish all of it, but the noodles were great and I was overall happy

The person who served us was terrible. We are from another country and he threw away the extra plate they brought. We have never received such bad treatment.

It's really delicious. If you're Korean, you'll be impressed by the taste.

The Noodle Maker is not HELAL We called before our visit to inquire whether the meat at The Noodle Maker in Frankfurt was HELAL. This was confirmed to us over the phone. After we sat down and looked at the menu, I asked again for my wife, just to be sure, since she only eats HELAL. The waitress simply replied, "I think so, I don't know." When we asked to ask the manager, she replied, "The food is not mixed, you can also have lamb." These answers were very confusing and clearly demonstrated that they apparently don't even know what helal means. For a restaurant in Frankfurt that serves meat, it should be a given that both the management and the waiters know exactly what helal means and can provide guests with clear, reliable information. Helal doesn't simply mean "not mixed," but rather that the meat was slaughtered according to Islamic regulations. As for the food: I ordered a beef noodle soup to try. The noodles were good, but the meat was a bit tough. The broth was tasty, but overall, the dish wasn't anything special. Furthermore, the waitress seemed unprofessional – open-toed shoes and unkempt feet are not a good image in a restaurant setting.

The on-site menu offers more choices than the one on the website. I had pasta with tomato and egg. Pasta had a good texture but was very salty. The prices were reasonable, and the shop was busy...

I can't understand some of the very good reviews. The only tasty thing was the drinks, but that was it. We spent a lot of money on completely inedible (some of them hard and disgustingly sticky) pasta swimming in a tasteless sauce made of pure oil. We left the food because I was really worried I was going to throw up. I would never go here!

Horrible food, truly disgusting. It was just noodles floating in a pool of oil. The noodles themselves were already dried out at the edges. All in all, inedible. The drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was like a fast-food restaurant, and the service was mediocre but still okay. I wouldn't recommend it.

Very authentic and delicious! The waiters are also very friendly👍

Super Delicious food and Drinks

It's a Chinese restaurant with the kitchen in the middle and sitting places around it. We enjoyed the fresh made nudles. It has kind staff.

My brother lived in China for half a year and ate Lanzhou Lamian almost every day; it's now his favorite dish! He was blown away by the Lanzhou Lamian and ate two portions straight away 😅 I had the vegetarian Majong Lamian, which were also incredibly delicious! Our appetizers (cucumber salad and tofu salad) were also very, very, very good! Especially the spices in the tofu salad! Highly recommended! 100 out of 100 points 💯💯💯

Regular customers update their reviews daily. I recently tried the mutton soup steamed bun. As someone who studied in Xi'an, I can only say that the taste isn't exactly the same as authentic mutton instant noodles, but it's completely unrelated. The noodles are good, authentic! Reliable! Fast! Plenty of meat! The noodles can be a little lumpy sometimes, but that's a good thing! When ordering the thickness, just add the thickness you imagine Lanzhou ramen in China to automatically increase by one. This is the thickness they offer. The cumin mutton fried noodles are amazing! Fresh and fragrant hot pot air sticks

I don't know if the restaurant is good or bad. Everyone has to be bad because of one person in the restaurant. Because I work in Wolt. I went to take an order from there. I waited for 20 minutes. Then when my order was given, I grabbed a candy from there and was called so bad by a person. I can't tell you. You tell me yourself. I deliver the food prepared by you to the customers. What did I do wrong if I grabbed a candy from there? I work hard and don't beg anyone to eat, no matter how cold it is, no matter how hot it is, we deliver orders to customers. I even waited there for 20 minutes, but I was spoken to so badly just for a candy.🥹🥲

A familiar taste. As expected, Lanzhou Ramen is delicious. A culinary feast in Frankfurt.

Outstanding pasta in Frankfurt—fresh, al dente, and tasty vegetarian options with warm, friendly service. Highly recommend

I ate at the restaurant in question. The server took our order fairly quickly. The food also arrived at our table at a really fast pace! Initially, that was very positive. However, the restaurant apparently serves cold dishes, where the pasta in the sauce is served really cold… unfortunately, it's not our cup of tea, and I think this could be communicated on the menu or by the server beforehand, so that you know what you're getting into and can possibly change your order if you're there for a hot dish! Nevertheless, our food still tasted reasonably good. 15 minutes after leaving the restaurant, however, I immediately regretted eating there. I got severe stomach pain and had to rush home to the bathroom. I was able to relieve myself there at first, but I still feel very sick from the food! Later, I also saw that the restaurant had been reported to the consumer protection agency due to unsanitary conditions. The text I read there finally helps me explain my stomach pain and diarrhea… We'll never eat there again!

An all around excellent place. Incredibly flavorful, and prices more than fair. 10/10

Great food at a good price. Highly recommended and incredibly delicious.

The Lanzhou Lamian was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. If I'm ever in Frankfurt again, I'll definitely be back.

Excellent place for freshly made noodles with an open kitchen. The atmosphere is welcoming and clean.

We were previously huge fans of the place. But today, when we ordered the dish with (stir-fried) noodles, a different type of noodle arrived. When we informed the manager about this, we received a silly response, "That's always the case," and we were given a nasty look that was beyond disrespectful and rude!

I've eaten there twice already and I'm thrilled. The menu selection is very good, and there are plenty of vegetarian options. The food is extremely delicious, and you get to your table super quickly. The staff is also really friendly.

It's delicious :) New flavor :)

This was my first time at Noodle Maker. Very friendly staff and great food! You can watch the noodles being made. We didn't even wait 10 minutes for our food, and it was delicious! We'd love to go back!! ❣️

Very delicious traditional Chinese noodles! I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit 😌🙌🏼

Nothing to complain about. Fair prices and very tasty.

Unfortunately, they were unable to offer us much advice (due to technical and language barriers). The food we chose was delicious. Great pasta!

The food tasted okay, nothing special. There were hardly any vegetables in the noodle soup. I found the server rude. After about an hour and a half, one of the Chinese servers suddenly approached us with a card reader and asked, "Are you paying together or separately?" I understand that when the restaurant is full, guests should get up and leave as early as possible after eating to make room for new guests. But it's the tone of voice that counts. The server could have expressed this much more politely.

The mutton soup with steamed buns was delicious, with plenty of mutton in the soup, and the pickled garlic was also delicious. The restaurant is air-conditioned, which is perfect for the hot summer. Highly recommended!

Very nice restaurant and absolutely worth it.

Very good food. Great for a simple meal.

So for a Chinese ramen, it was good, but not 100% my taste. I prefer Japanese ramen. Maybe I just chose the wrong dish, but it was very spicy! 😀

Even one star is too many. 25 minutes before closing time, we weren't allowed in – despite it being our birthday.

Closes earlier than expected. Despite noting that it was our brother's birthday, we weren't given any food until 20 minutes before closing time.

Two of our companions didn't like the dish they ordered. The food was in poor condition.

Both the service and the food are the reasons for returning again and again

Last time I was there. They couldn't cook the tofu properly. They didn't cook the canned mushrooms either. They just spat it into the soup. The soup was cold. Everything was done in a hurry. The Massa shop is totally annoying with its hectic attitude and loud mouth. The Romanian service, on the other hand, was very polite and attentive.

A beautiful, modern restaurant where you can watch the noodles being pulled by hand. The service is fast, but more efficient than super-friendly. The food was good; I particularly enjoyed the Asian Bolognese.

Hand-pulled noodles, prepared in front of you - delicious and customisation options available. Have to wait a while because you're in an office area.

Very delicious food and friendly staff! This ramen tastes like Chinese. I've tried it three times already.

These noodles weren’t made. They were engineered. Slurped them like there was no tomorrow. Cozy vibe, quick service, and portions that made me question if I should ever cook at home again. Noodle heaven.

Very tasty, hand-pulled noodles. The food comes quickly, and the atmosphere is great!

I love these noodles! I've never had better ones. My little 3-year-old daughter absolutely loves them too.

I've been there several times, and each time I've seen the same waiter wearing glasses. He reaches directly into each bowl with his gloved hand and adds leeks and meat. The first time, I was shocked and thought it was just an isolated incident. But after several visits, I realized that this waiter is always there—and that he always does it this way. I find this extremely unhygienic and, frankly, disgusting. I find it particularly horrible that he takes the beef slices with his bare hands and places them directly into the soup bowls. I've also observed him: He does many other things, such as cashing customers. Afterward, he doesn't even wash his hands, but uses the same dirty hands to reach into the ingredients and place them in the customers' bowls. Once, he even came straight from the restroom and immediately reached into the container of spring onions and beef with the same hands. I'm writing all this in the hope that something will change at this restaurant. The noodles there are truly delicious, and it would be a shame if so many customers stayed away due to poor hygiene. In fact, I already know several friends who no longer eat there for precisely this reason.

If there's one thing I love, it's this Asian Bolognese when I'm in Frankfurt. It's unique and incredibly delicious. You can watch the noodles being prepared live.

The food is super delicious! But in the last 10 visits, I've gotten something different than what I ordered 8 times... usually just a different size pasta. 4 times, I simply had no or hardly any vegetables in my dish.

The noodles and side dishes here are delicious!! The owner and chef are both Chinese. Absolutely authentic. The ingredients for the beef noodles are also very solid. They also gave us smashed cucumbers as a gift.

It's very delicious, and the boss is also very nice. I have eaten there many times. ❤️‍🔥Chinese people don't lie to everyone😋
