Wen Cheng 1 in Berlin

Long wait, but otherwise great!! Very tasty

Please bring back the old W4 recipe!!! 🥺

Please reconsider bringing back the old W4 recipe. The new dish simply doesn't taste good, as the tomato sauce makes no sense with the other ingredients. Changing a recipe that so many regular customers come for, especially with such a small selection, is a very bad decision.

Unfortunately, the service was very unfriendly, and we had to wait over 30 minutes at the entrance just to get a table. You should come in groups of two, not with more people. You can't reserve a table. There is neither Chinese nor German-speaking staff. My Chinese friend was treated very rudely. We had Chinese visitors and wanted to choose a Chinese restaurant, thinking that the good reviews would mean the food would be special. The food was standard fare. And the noodles were very hard. So, all in all, disappointing.

The food is unbeatable. My favorite restaurant in Berlin!!

Staff was lovely I brought a good friend for the first time and felt quite bad for praising wen chen so much beforehand. The food was lukewarm at best, some strange marinara sauce was added (new?), the aubergines weren’t fried at all, just a soggy wet mess. The noodles were super hard and not pleasant to chew at all. My beloved tofu bao bun was wet, ice cold and looked flat and sad. I’m really disappointed.

Because it was a rainy Berlin day the queue wasn’t too long, we waited 10 minutes tops to get a table. Service was friendly and warm, we had the chicken bao burger to share, beef noodles extra spicy and my husband had the cumin lamb noodles. I now get the hype, it was truly very yummy. One of the best Chinese noodles in Berlin 🤍

Super friendly staff! Delicious food!

Too fatty, meat and noodles are good, but the fat takes over! Consume without moderation if you are liporesistant

So delicious, always happy to have it.

I’ve been coming here for three years and now they decided to change the receipe and add tomato sauce! It’s not good at all, please bring the original receipe back. Also since they have franchised the quality have decreased a lot. The staff is very nice and fast thought.

Every time we're in Berlin, we have to go to Wen Cheng. The cucumber salad is the best I've ever eaten outside of Asia. The eggplant is lightly roasted, which gives it a rich flavor and texture.

the new recipe with canned tomato sauce destroyed the original fabolous recipe. Very bad

Wen Cheng is great! Very quickly it became a Berlin must haves. Great food and great environment.

Great hand pulled noodle place, different spice levels and very friendly staff.

Best Szechuan Noodles in town. This is the OG place. You can bring a beer from the Späti if you want alcohol. There sometimes is a little que but rest assured once you’re in you’ll be served quickly.

Nice staff, comfort food always. Little small and stuffy ok the inside - however the delicious noodles make it worth it.

Super fast and friendly service, even when it's very busy! The food is delicious and the portions are generous.

Tasty tasty tasty Super tender beef. OMG! Thick tasty noodles are delicious. Thanks guys!

Awful customer service by the woman with the dark hair, everyone else was nice

Okay, it's definitely a hip place to eat. That's why I happily waited outside for 20 minutes until a table became available. Maybe the dough just isn't my thing. Still, I would have preferred a more imaginative seasoning. I also think the price is more due to the reputation than the quality of the food.

Great texture: noodles and Beef Hot oil on the spices and herbs would level up the flavours, also asian level spicy was decent. Very low levels of sichuan pepper.

There's a line outside with average waiting time 20mins (for two people) and they don't accept reservations, but after taking a seat, the service's quite quick. Several options to choose from, food quality is really incredible and portions are absolutely satisfying. Such a delightful place.

Very simple menu, great noodles!

You wait half an hour outside in the cold to find out that they are closing.

Tasty noodles with spicy options. No complaints here

Terrible experience. We placed a €60 order via Wolt, and the main dishes — the noodles themselves — were never delivered. All we got were cold, soggy bao buns and a leaking cucumber salad that soaked through the bag. Both Wolt and the restaurant refuse to refund the missing dishes or resolve the issue in any way. This is an absolute failure. -10000/10

Tasty food, spacious. Fast service. Clean space

Very very fresh noodles. Different taste.. excellent. Will come back.

The food is always always very delicious, it became addiction for me :). Just feel past period the beef is less than before. Just side note.

No wonder why there is no Chinese customer…Nothing reaches the Chinese taste baseline…sad dinner for me…

Super fast and friendly service The food is simply amazing Limited selection, but the quality is outstanding We loved it

Amazing food. Worth it even though you have to wait in a queue to be seated

It was really really worthy! The noodles and the sauce were excellent, as well as the atention and the ambient. I would definetely will reccomend.

Amazing food, great service, and a handsome waiter Big like Xoxo Lia

We have been a loyal guests of this restaurant for years, and the Wen Cheng Beef was our favourite. During our visit yesterday, however, we were met with an unwelcome surprise: a random tomato-based sauce (???) now drowns the dish. Whoever decided this was an “improvement” clearly doesn’t understand a simple culinary truth: you don’t “fix” a recipe that was never broken. Taking over a beloved restaurant is shouldn’t be an invitation to play experimental chef with its signature dish. Instead of elevating the menu, this change strips it of the very character that kept loyal customers like us coming back. Deeply disappointing. Until the original Wen Cheng Beef returns, we will stay away.

I specifically ordered low-fat noodles, and my boyfriend ordered the regular ones. He got a delicious dish, while I got noodles swimming in broth and fat. In the end, he ate his meal and we went to dinner somewhere else. I couldn't eat mine. It was very greasy and oily, and it felt like the noodles were swimming in oil. A couple of pieces of meat.

A great shop right in Prenzlauer Berg! Great food and a delicious atmosphere.

Very nice food, tasty spicy and quickly served! Recommended

Very fresh, incredibly good food.

Best Handpulled noodles in Berlin ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great hand pulled noodles! Not many options but this makes it easier to choose from. And there are both meat and plant based options - so perfect for everyone! One of my fav adresses in Berlin (as a plant based person!)

The eggplants Biang Biang are vegan and awesome

Wow😍 Went back to Berlin just for the biang biang noodles (jk, but was a little factor)

Very tasty Biang Biang noodles! The food arrived in about 3 minutes even though the place was packed. Berlin-style friendliness and a modern, rustic atmosphere, with a focus on the essentials (being able to sit down and eat).

I don't really understand the hype surrounding this chain. The wait is comparatively long to get a table. Advance reservations aren't possible because they're probably not desired. After all, a line outside the restaurant makes an impression. But the food is truly outstanding. I can't say anything else. The noodles are extremely tasty, and so is the beef. The dishes are really very authentic, and the chili oil is exactly what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The starters I had were also excellent. Nevertheless, due to the really limited menu and the turnover, the whole thing feels like a mass production operation. The seating is uncomfortable and doesn't really invite you to linger for long. Despite the great food, the prices are unjustified in my opinion. Most of the service staff only speak English.

Super delicious hand-pulled Chinese noodles. Tastes like Chinese and is nice and spicy. 🌶️

So good that you can develop a dependency with these noodles

IMHO the Best noodles by far! Fourth time there and still great!!!

Superfast service. Food is amazing.

Super-tasty handpulled noodles! Yum-yum-yum! 😋🍜

Came here for dinner with my partner. Some of the nicest and most authentic biang biang noodles I’ve ever had, these need to be in every country. Get rid of McDonald’s and replace with these restaurants

Delicious, nice service, 1/4 shiitake mushroom and some noodles with broth and a leaf of pak choi too expensive

Super friendly and pleasant service with good advice, and the food is truly delicious. You also feel very comfortable in the cozy shop.

Most excellent noodles! Supreme taste! Get your Wencheng on!

An absolute highlight in Berlin. Handmade biang biang noodles, full of flavor and prepared with such attention to detail. Every bite is an experience: authentic, fresh, and unique. The vibe in the shop is as strong as the food: lively, modern, and yet full of soul. For me, it's one of the few places in Berlin where you can tell that real passion is at work. Once you've been there, you're guaranteed to come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My noodles weren’t cooked properly, they were still white and hard like raw flour. So I explained that to the staff, and she replaced with new noodles. But while I was explaining, she just took away my undercooked noodles without saying anything, and I was shocked that she gave me a “bombastic side eye” instead of an apology 😂. I mean it’s not my problem that you need to cooked twice. After waiting a few minutes, my noodles arrived, and with an annoyed face she just put it on my table without saying a single word and quickly walked away. Well whatever…. Anyway the noodles were delicious🫶🏽✨🫶🏽✨🫶🏽✨

Tasty, avoid the queue going a quieter day honestly.

The food was delicious and the whole place is very cute! Highly recommended

I often wondered about the long line at the door as I walked by. Until I decided to go in myself. The food is unique. Top-quality meat, hand-pulled noodles, and the sauce with the perfect blend. The service is world-class. Now I'm a regular. 🫶🏽

The best hand-pulled noodles in all of Berlin!

Absolutely recommend it. Super tasty and really spicy.

The vegan Wen Cheng Noodles with eggplant and vegan mince are incredibly delicious. However, the vegan mince was barely noticeable. The eggplant, however, was all the more of a highlight! The restaurant is a bit cramped inside.

Everything is tip-top, top class!

Food was pretty good, but a bit overhyped in my opinion. At first the restaurant seemed quite expensive but the portions are hugeee. So u can easily get lunch and dinner for one portion:) The service was very nice and friendly, so overall would recommend. Plenty vegan options too!

There's nothing to complain about here. Extremely great food in a perfect location with Berlin flair and super friendly service!

One of the most authentic and best restaurants in town (lieben wir )

Very nice and welcoming staff. Fast service and delicious food. I also loved the small dish offering, focusing on quality over quantity. The spices were also very well dosed and the chewiness of the noodles was great! 這碗𰻝𰻝面好吃了！ Plus always a plus to be able to pay with card, which makes this place even better !

Best hand pulled noodles in the city, fosho! I love the WTF spice oil, the chilly in it has a roasty taste to them that is really unique. The staff is really friendly and prompt to accommodate requests. On hot summer days the inside sitting can feel sweaty and cramped. But if you get a seat outside, it’s perfect.

Super delicious food, very friendly service. The restaurant is rather small, but you can peek into the kitchen – everything is super authentic! Highly recommended :)

It was delicious. We didn't have to wait in line.

Top quality. Beef was super delicate. Few quality ingredients and good cooking work results this super tasty dish. Pozdrawiam z Polski

Delicious food in a lovely little kitchen

Worth the hype. Wonderful noodles and fair prices.

10/10 must try when you visit Berlin

The dishes, the music, the service are delicious. Very good!!!

Amazing noodles – fresh, flavorful, and full of aroma! Make sure to get the cucumbers with your noodles – crisp, refreshing, and the perfect match for the dish. The staff is always friendly and quick, and the cozy atmosphere makes you want to come back. This place is a must-visit every time I’m in Berlin.

It's super delicious, I highly recommend everyone try it! You won't regret it :)

I love the hand-pulled noodles with beef. The staff is very friendly, and the seating in the shop on Schönauer Allee is very comfortable :)

The aubergine minced meat is great.

The food was very tasty and I wanted it spicier! 🤣 A drink is always necessary with this spice🔥

Always a joy eating at Wen Cheng. I always come out feeling half a kilo satisfied 😄

I think the place is overrated. Yes, the noodles are homemade, but that's about it. The food isn't bad, but otherwise, it doesn't stand out from other similar restaurants. It's also relatively expensive. I'm happy to tip for good service. Here, the service was just average.

Tastes quite good. The waiter was nice, but unfortunately the waitresses were extremely unfriendly. We felt very uncomfortable and won't be going back.

Never disappoints, my absolute favorite spot for hand-pulled noodles!

Phew, a truly exciting experience: communication with the staff is only in English, no alcohol served (you can get it from the Späti next door), no cash payments accepted, a rather pared-down atmosphere, outside on the street, although at least an awning protects from the rain. The real highlight for me is the chicken burger. The noodles in meat sauce are delicious, but I don't quite understand the hype about the homemade pasta: store-bought would definitely be just as tasty, but maybe not quite as rubbery. But otherwise, everything was good, spice level 2 is sufficiently stinging. The cucumber salad is also great.

This is my fav restaurant in Berlin. I visit when cheng like once every other week and I love their biang biang tofu noodles. The best part for me the limited menu to choose from and the quality of food that’s offered. If you live in Berlin or are visiting Berlin I highly recommend to visit this restaurant.

Great food as always. Loved the vibe

Got lucky and arrived when there was no line outside. Got the Biang Biang noodles with tofu and shiitake (the tofu cubes were big and plenty). Noodles are nice and chewy!

I was there for the first time yesterday. Very friendly service and the food was delicious. It's just not the kind of place for a relaxed sit-down on a busy street with a long line waiting for a table.

Great Biang Biang hand pulled noodles Atmosphere is nice and kind of a fast foodish However, love the place. Great with take out as well !

Great food, great service! I always enjoy coming back :)

it was amazing, We’ve been to Berlin two years ago and we’ve been dreaming about coming back to wen cheng ever since 💖

Possibly the best Asian food I’ve ever ate! I was speechless. I ordered the not spicy one (when cheng noodles) with beef and extra aubergine (these are insanely good!). Food was delicious, staff super friendly, food comes super fast! Just perfect! There was a line when I was there, but I waited like 20min tops. I think it depends on the day, but it’s worth the wait.

Went here because my friend forced me to go. And it is now becoming my favourite! The broth is really something and the aubergine add-ons are something to die for! One weird thing was that the noodle cut was really big, and I wouldn't call it noodle, more like cut-lasagna. The term "hand pulled" is also different from my expectations, as this definitely use a rolling machine. Just beware as you're enjoying the food, all of your clothes and belongings will smell tasty for a few days 😂

Can’t go wrong! But the prices are pretty inflated nowadays, especially since there are way more independent noodle shops offering very traditional options these days.

The food was super delicious. I'd love to come again!

I've eaten it N+1 times already. The quality remains consistently good.

The service was good and the staff were very friendly. This chain has several restaurants, and long queues are quite common. However, we chose to sit indoors, and despite the nice weather, we were seated fairly quickly. I found the food to be decent, while the others in my group enjoyed it even more than I did. We tried the tofu bao bun, which I personally think could be skipped. However, the cucumber was a great addition to the rich, oily noodles, it balanced the dish really well. If you haven't tried this particular dish before, I’d definitely recommend giving it a go.

Food and portion size were quite good. Surprising how filling one bowl of noodles can be. Unfortunately the restaurant is quite small and most of the time filled to the prim. Waiting 10 - 20min for a table is quite normal at this place. But it was worth it.
