The noodlemaker in Frankfurt am Main

Hand-pulled noodles, soup and cucumber salad, tea egg and Chinese Bolognese, all top and super tasty. Friendly service and a short waiting time despite fresh preparation.

Incredibly delicious! Was there for the second time today. The first time I had the supper, which was quite tasty, but today I had dry noodles number 5 and they were incredibly good. You can always choose the type of pasta individually. Simply perfect handpulled noodles 🥹😍

Everything is extremely delectable. The personal is friendly and understanding. I can’t even talk about waiting time because there was none. In two minutes everything was ready as for takeout and eat in. As for eating alone everything was also wonderful. Nothing bad to say 5/5 for sure

Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff, and the food is indescribably delicious! I have never had better noodles/soup anywhere. All praise! I recommend it to everyone ;)

Great experience watching noodles being pulled. Food was great, service was nice. A little louder because everything is full. Still absolutely recommended, something different! :)

Fair price point considering it's in Europe. The noodles weren't bad, but the sauce was on the saltier side. Definitely a place I'll only go once.

Great restaurant. Food came quickly

Quite authentic. The soup base is delicious. Chili oil is very fragrant.

I was there for the third time and it just tastes very tasty and the service is good and everything is great too.

As a native of Lanzhou, I tried this and found that this beef noodle restaurant is authentic. It is amazing to find an authentic noodle restaurant run by Lanzhou people abroad.

Very clean and tasty and friendly staff!

Perfect Chinese gong fu noodle....I love it !!!!!.

The soups are really delicious! It's exciting to watch the chefs prepare the noodles and the broths are also tasty 😍 Price performance is also right here and is not overly expensive.

Very good, very delicious. I can eat noodles from my hometown in Germany.

The side dishes are served quickly and the service attitude is very good

Really tasty, very large portion. The pasta is freshly prepared in the open kitchen in the center of the restaurant.

A true pasta paradise in the heart of the European Quarter! My visit to The Noodlemaker was an overall positive experience. As soon as you enter the restaurant you can feel the pleasant and inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, you immediately feel welcome. The absolute highlight is of course the hand-pulled noodles! You can watch the chefs prepare the fresh pasta with impressive speed and precision - a little spectacle in itself. And the taste absolutely delivers what the preparation promises: the noodles have a perfect texture, are pleasantly al dente and absorb the delicious sauces wonderfully. The portions are generous and the price-performance ratio is really great. The selection of side dishes and drinks is also good. The restaurant is modern and tastefully decorated and it is pleasant to sit there and enjoy the food. In summary, I can highly recommend The Noodlemaker in the Europaviertel. If you want to enjoy authentic and delicious hand-pulled noodles in a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place for you. I'll definitely be back!

Very good price for authentic food and modern good environment, great service, a definit must go place.

The best noodles in Frankfurt! Very good rich broth. Great side dishes and perfect spiciness. For such a good shop, it's difficult to write more than simply: Go eat there!

The staff was really nice, food was tasty, also it was cool that you could see the way that they made the noodles, the only thing was that it was really hot inside

The boss is very nice, the noodles are authentic, and the beef is delicious

My husband and I went to eat two portions of vegetarian fried noodles at noon on Wednesday the 16th. The noodles were very hard and all were broken. Not a single noodle was intact. After eating, I had a stomachache for two days when I got home. I reported the situation to my boss at that time, and he said it was not a matter of force! So speechless! Will never go there again! I really don’t recommend it! ! !

A very authentic Lanzhou ramen shop with authentic taste, rich soup and a very enthusiastic boss.

Very delicious! The boss is very nice! Very delicious and very good service!

Tried the Lanzhou noodles — authentic and tasty.

Very authentic and delicious Chinese Ramen!

Food was super tasty. Homemade ice tea was also delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and it's fun to watch the noodle maker. Would eat there again.

Very authentic Lanzhou ramen, suitable for Asian taste, the saliva chicken and cold beef are very good, the boss is very enthusiastic, and the price is quite affordable. It is a good store worth visiting again.

Unfortunately very poor selection + quality for vegetarians. Tasteless and unfortunately the service wasn't good either.

The location is a bit out of the way, but the restaurant itself is quite spacious with both dining tables and counter seats. Since I came alone, I was seated at the counter directly facing the noodle chef, which felt a bit awkward. I ordered the Zhajiang noodles. Unfortunately, the meat sauce had a strong, unpleasant smell — it wasn’t handled well at all. The dish was overly salty, very oily, but lacked any real flavor. The odd taste of the meat sauce really put me off. I also tried the “mouthwatering chicken” (Kou Shui Ji), but it was disappointing as well. The chicken was too dry and made entirely of breast meat. The sauce was overly salty and didn’t balance the dish. Overall, I wasn’t satisfied with the experience and won’t be coming back.

The food tastes really good and the portions are very large, I think the price is great for a Frankfurt restaurant. Only the “homemade” tea I would say was really not homemade 🌝😅. Otherwise highly recommended!

Meat eaters or leftover meat in a vegetarian dish

We dropped by spontaneously without a reservation and got a seat straight away. The drinks and food came super quickly and were large portions. Nice service.

I was a little disappointed with the food and expected much more. I had Bolognese and the pasta and sauce were too tasteless for me. The service was very hectic and somewhat unfriendly.

The shop is tastefully decorated. We got a spot quickly just before closing time that week. The waitress came quickly to take the order. The food came quickly. Everything tasted good. For me personally, it wasn't enough to make me come back again. I expected more from the pictures of the food. There are very few parking spaces.

It tastes very good and is handmade!

Handmade noodles that simply taste great. If I would mention one area of improvement, it would be to increase the variety of dishes with different flavour profiles, and what vegetables are used (it feels like most dishes use the same few vegetables).

Nice and kind staff, super fast service and delicious vegetarian noodles with vegetables!!! Absolutely recommended. Dish and non-alcoholic drink €17.

incredible asian food,big portions, good location and friendly service. I forgot to take a picture of the dish before starting eating it, but the Asian bolognese and the cucumber salad were incredible

Amazing handmade noodles! love the small menu — it shows they focus on what they do best. Every dish is packed with flavor and quality. Definitely a place you must try!

Good noodles. Tasty soup and good price

Quite crowded, most of the tables are bar counters with bar stools. We ordered the soup that is first on the menu. We didn't really like it. The noodles seemed dense and as if undercooked. The broth was more or less, remotely similar to Pho Bo. Moderately spicy. We wouldn't go again.

the best noodle house in Frankfurt! Very tasty, definitely recommended

The best noodle restaurant in Frankfurt, bar none!

The experience was really good. The portion of each dish was quite large, and the dishes we ordered were all good. Every time the waiter served the dishes, he would introduce the dishes very considerately. I must bring my family here to eat once next time. It is also very cost-effective, the dishes are large in quantity, and the taste is good. I have already thought about what to order next time!

Perfect restaurant!!! For every recommendation

Super tasty and affordable! Highly recommended

Unfortunately, I have to report on an extremely disappointing and discriminatory visit to the Nudelmaker in Frankfurt. Not only were my expectations of fresh, handmade pasta disappointed, but I witnessed unacceptable behavior from the staff. The noodles were either overcooked or had an unpleasant, doughy consistency. The sauces tasted bland and lacked seasoning. In addition, some ingredients that were promised on the menu were not included in my dish. The service was not only poor, but openly racist. We were incorrectly told that there were no free seats outside, while other guests, who obviously didn't have the same skin color as us, were allowed to sit outside without any problem. Instead we were assigned a place in the cold indoor area and our child had to sit on a high, uncomfortable chair. Additionally, we were incorrectly charged for four pasta dishes even though we only ordered three. When we brought this up, we were met with a lie. The atmosphere in the restaurant was loud and uncomfortable. The tables were too close together so there was little privacy. The cleanliness also left something to be desired, as there was leftover food on the floor and the tables were not thoroughly cleaned. The price-performance ratio is in no way correct. The prices were clearly too high for the quality offered and the unacceptable service. I cannot recommend the Nudelmaker in Frankfurt due to the discriminatory treatment and the poor quality of the food and service.

A very good noodle shop, the taste is very authentic. Tolles Nudelgeschäft with its authentischen Aromen.

This is my first time here. The boss is Chinese. He is very kind and enthusiastic. Highly recommended!

In China 🇨🇳 Lumian eateries are inexpensive and unassuming. People come in to have a quick noodle soup or noodles with meat and vegetables and are usually out of the restaurant 15 to at most 20 minutes after entering. In Germany 🇩🇪 many locals (especially people in their twenties and thirties) use restaurants, all restaurants, any restaurants as hubs to socialise with friends and colleagues or simply to timepass as the vast majority of them do not have children or any chores to attend to. I walked past the restaurant a quarter of an hour before entering and I saw three locals (a male and two females) in their twenties sitting by the window. When I was seated near them and for another half an hour they were chatting as if they were in their own living room. They had a grand total of one glass of wine 🍷, one small edamame plate, one cucumber salad plate and one 750 ml. glass of water in front of them and they probably stayed there for another hour after I had left without ordering anything else. In China the chef would unceremoniously throw them out but in Germany restaurant owners have no choice but to put up with such people. Keeping what I wrote above in mind I award the noodlemaker three stars because I genuinely sympathize with them. However, if you want to have good quality meaty dishes in restaurants these days you must opt for one of a half dozen very expensive restaurants that also specialise in meat of which I suppose one or two are a Korean and a Chinese restaurant of the haute cuisine category in Frankfurt. Everywhere else (the noodlemaker included) you will get pieces of meat that are not particularly tasty and small quantities as it is impossible to raise prices without getting priced out of a very competitive and oversaturated market for "Asian cuisine". The lamb in my noodle soup was flattened pieces of lamb that was impossible to trace to any part of the animal and that to me is not reassuring.

The service is warm and the food is delicious. The price/performance ratio is also very high.

The best traditional Chinese noodles you could have in Frankfurt The service also SUPER，my tea egg fell on the floor by accident，the owner straight give me another one🥰 谢谢老板，恭喜发财

Authentic taste and good service! Worth revisiting!

Very average, the service is not particularly good The menu is not as rich as the Wiesbaden branch

It was just OK. Seems to be in right now. It's a shame that the service is sometimes just not that attentive. The food was delicious.

Yes, but it is always very crowded

Wow, that was delicious and so cool to see how the noodles are made. If I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely come back!

The ramen is delicious and not expensive. The parking space depends on your luck.

The ramen pulled out on the spot tastes pretty good even though the noodles are not chewy.

Wow! Experience real craftsmanship live when pulling noodles - this definitely belongs on the Wiesbaden bucket list! The spicy beef broth transported us straight to Asia. Perfect after a long day of meetings!

Very tasty and especially homemade ramen.

Very good ramen, will come again next time

Food was very tasty, great value for money & top service from Amir! Come back :)

I liked the original soup haha. I intend to visit again haha

The best Chinese noodles in Frankfurt. The noodles are freshly pulled and the restaurant is extremely well organized.

Great portion size and flavours are lovely. We had 2 mains, a side and 2 drinks and our total came out to £35. We arrived at 17:30 for the restaurant opening and there was multiple groups of people waiting and loads of takeaway orders being prepared. It’s cool to watch the noodle being made fresh.

Delicious food but unfriendly staff

You can't get fresher pasta! Very good noodles with perfect cooking point. The variety of sauces for people who eat meat is quite large, unfortunately there are fewer alternatives for vegetarians/vegans and unfortunately no vegetarian soup at all!

I reserved a table for two people for a nice lunch online, received a confirmation, even received a reminder of my confirmation and then you stand in front of closed doors at the reserved time and the staff from the inside look at you in disbelief and send you away with your arms crossed - so you gamble away my first and last attempt. Maintain your online data, opening times and the possibility of making reservations - this makes it pointless and annoys potential guests to the maximum! To put it politely: a shame.

Very tasty noodle soups, the noodles are freshly prepared and pulled by hand! Always happy :)

+++ Service desert with police operations – welcome to The Noodle Maker! 🤷🏻‍♂️ +++ I know that restaurants can be stressful at times. But what I experienced today at "The Noodlemaker" sets new standards in terms of "customer service" - in a way that can probably be described as damaging to business. I just wanted to order my usual dish, which I eat there regularly (!). Unfortunately it wasn't listed on the delivery app. So I called the restaurant, naive as I was, assuming that a quick conversation could solve the problem. The manager, Ms. Yang, recommended a creative workaround: I should order another dish for the same price and write in the comments that I actually want something different. Uh… okay, that could work. There was just no other dish for the same price. Ms. Yang put this at 12.50 euros - while the desired noodles cost 11 euros on the restaurant's online PDF menu. When I politely pointed this out, I received the charming answer: “Then just order somewhere else.” Well, I thought to myself, maybe a misunderstanding. Since the restaurant is practically around the corner, I just went by in person. Curtain up: On site, Ms. Yang admitted that the online map has been out of date for ages. When I expressed my wish to simply be treated in a friendly – ​​or at least neutral – way, the next surprise came: I was banned from entering the house! For me! Just because I pointed out incorrect pricing and didn't feel like giving stupid answers! And to top it all off, she called the police – because of… yes, why? Because of my immense audacity to ask a simple question? Or because I dared not to just accept everything like a schoolboy? I didn't wait for this show to end and left. So, dear future guests of “The Noodlemaker”: Come with low expectations – or ideally, none at all. If you want unpredictable pricing, stupid answers and free contact with the police, this is the right place for you. If you just want good food and normal customer service instead, you should choose a restaurant that doesn't respond to its guests with a sacking and an emergency call.

Cozy restaurant with fast and friendly service. The noodles are out of this world!

As a foodie I can recommend The Noodlemaker with all my heart! The food was amazing, thr service was super nice and also real fast. Our food came within 10min after ordering! I had the original Lanzhou Lamian and they were simply delicious. The fresh hand-pulled noodles with a strong and flavourful broth almost took me back to China where I last had great noodle soups like this. The portion was large but just right and perfect for a cold winter evening. My friend had the Chinese Bolognese which was also good but I would rather recommend the soups! We came on a Friday evening without reservation and there was still plenty of seating. But if you want to be safe, then book a table. Plus: If you get a seat at the counter, you can watch your noodles being pulled :-)

Great price, great food, chef cook is amazing!

Absolutely delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles had the perfect texture, and the beef was tender and well-seasoned. The balance of spices and fresh herbs made every bite enjoyable. The presentation was also beautiful, served in a traditional-style bowl that enhanced the experience. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic, comforting noodle soup!

Very strange food, tastes are different yes, but I didn't like it at all. The service was a bit unfriendly. But once I put it there, I almost threw up.

Delicious beef noodle soup, one of the best I’ve had and reasonable price. Walked on without reservation and seated right away. Service can be better though, takes too long to get the check.

I am not a noodle person but their hand-pulled noodles is so fresh and tasty. Huge bowl of noodles in hot soup a perfect meal for winter. We went there twice and each time was fully packed so be sure to reserve ahead of time.

The noodles are prepared fresh in front of the customers to the desired thickness. The portions are very generous and simply delicious! If you come to 1-2, there are only seats at the long bar counter, but it was cozy and offers a perfect view of the open kitchen.

Such good food! You can’t go wrong with any of the noodle options, but I would also recommend getting the tea egg on the side

I had a great experience dining in at The Noodlemaker. The service was fast and friendly, and the thick noodles—especially number six —were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

Food 5/5. Service intrusively bad. More of a snack/drive-through level. But the food was very good!

I really enjoyed the soup. The amount of delicious noodles was more than enough. Price performance is perfect. Food was also served extremely quickly.

The service was very polite but inattentive. The food was bland and the beef was tough and had an odd taste. Price was ok if it had tasted better. We had a place where the seating had no backrest. I found it uncomfortable in the long run.

It was the worst service I have ever received in my life, super arrogant and rude. And the food was tasteless. First we received the main dish, then after a while we received the starter and the drinks at the end. Never again.

Original Chinese noodles and pasta, authentic and of the highest quality. Very good price-performance ratio. Friendly and accommodating staff. Recommended

Food is great, service is good enough, the atmosphere is a bit noisy though. Still definitely recommend

The food tasted very good, I would love to try it again.

We walked a mile to get here because we really wanted to try it and walked in at 2:37pm to order takeaway (they close at 3) and they shooed us out… don’t recommend. Terrible customer service.

Tasty but not the tasty highlight. I added a lot of seasoning. The store is overhyped

The soups are really delicious! The noodles are so fresh too. I can only recommend it

I'd have given zero star if I could. Booked for two and was confirmed. Upon arrival, was told us they don't allow reservation for two. Immediately left as I could only smell arrogance from their staff.

Very delicious, spectacular food! Very, very affordable for what's offered, too. Service could be more attentive at times - I have waited up to 20 minutes before I got to pay. Food arrives very fresh and quickly, though! 💕

Well suited for a spontaneous meal

absolutely delicious and highly recommended

This restaurant is specializes in Lamian, and it’s one of my absolute favorites. The setting is simple yet clean and well-organized. What I appreciate most is the incredibly fast service. The noodles are freshly made right in front of you, with the chefs preparing them calmly at the center of the dining area for everyone to see. The flavors are authentic and traditional, taking me back to my time living in Asia—one of the reasons I keep coming back. The restaurant is popular with both Chinese guests and locals, as the dishes are delicate, healthy, and delicious, appealing to a wide range of tastes. In addition to Lamian (long noodles in broth with meat and a few vegetables), you can enjoy traditional appetizers. I always go for the sliced cold meat and cucumber salad—they’re absolutely fantastic. The prices are fair and very reasonable for the quality. I love this restaurant and visit whenever I can!

Food very tasty and authentic. See image. The only thing is that when asked if you were allowed to sit at a table, the answer was no, we should please sit at the number, I personally didn't think that was that great, but that's different for everyone. Despite everything, she is friendly when serving herself.

Tasty and simply great when you see how the pasta is made on site. Always happy👍

Top price and it tastes very good. Is worth a visit
