Wen Cheng 1 in Berlin

So good that you can develop a dependency with these noodles

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

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

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

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

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 best hand-pulled noodles in all of Berlin!

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 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.

Absolutely recommend it. Super tasty and really spicy.

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!

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

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

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 :)

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 !

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

Delicious food in a lovely little kitchen

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

Worth the hype. Wonderful noodles and fair prices.

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

10/10 must try when you visit Berlin

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

The aubergine minced meat is great.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Great food as always. Loved the vibe

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.

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!

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 !

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 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.

Amazing as always. Super kind waitress

I've tried a lot of food spots, and Weng Cheng is by far my favorite. The Weng Cheng noodles tasted incredibly delicious! The cucumber salad is also incredibly tasty and really fresh. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Thank you.

Wen Cheng 1 in Berlin is the absolute place to be if you like really good hand-pulled noodles – but let's be honest: The beef there? Absolutely fantastic! The noodles are an experience in themselves, nice and chewy, freshly pulled, with plenty of oomph in the sauce, and a generous portion of cilantro. But the beef completely blew me away: incredibly juicy, intensely flavored, and so tender that you almost forget to chew. This isn't a side dish; it's the star of the plate! Yes, the place is hyped – and rightly so. The portions are perfect, and the staff should ideally speak English, but everything was quick. Anyone who's tried the Biang Biang noodles with beef knows: Berlin has a new noodle mecca. You can sit outside, but comfortable is something else entirely. However, I'm happy to accept that!

Basically always solid, unfortunately after eating there yesterday I had severe stomach pain etc.

The food here is delicious, no doubt about it. But we've never experienced such unfriendly service. After an hour, even though we'd just finished our drinks, the card reader was placed on the table and we were told in a very unfriendly tone to pay. We can understand that there are a lot of people waiting in line at Weng Cheng who also want to eat, but to force customers who have just spent €50 on a meal to pay in such a brazen manner is, unfortunately, really not service and could be friendlier. Then you should give the guests time limits or something similar.

Every time I’m in Berlin, this restaurant is a must for me. I always order the lamb and cumin noodles — one of my absolute favorite dishes. The noodles are thick and chewy, just the way I like them, and the flavors are perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. Since there’s usually a long line, I always order pickup and enjoy it at home — it’s just as amazing. Can’t wait to be back in Berlin to have it again!

The food was great. But given the price and the amount of business the place has to generate (people are always queuing), you'd expect the tables and chairs to be unbroken.

Friendly personal, very tasty noodles, self made, I loved the Sichuan pepper spiced menu, it is very likely that you have to wait before being seated

It was the best dish for me during my stay in Berlin. It's properly spicy and has nice chewy texture in the hand pulled noodle. I just wish they had added more mushrooms as I could find only two pieces of shitake... It made me crave for it even after having finished the meal. Very yummy and flavourful! I understand why there's always a queue in this place.

I tried the Biang Biang Eggplant. Overall, it was delicious. Amazing noodles, and the eggplant? Simply wow! But the vegan mince? I had to ask the waitress if it had been forgotten. There was absolutely no way to see or taste it. And it's pretty annoying: the garlic is simply chopped and sprinkled raw on top. If you like it, it's amazing. I wish I'd known this earlier and canceled my order. Hence only 3 stars.

So delicious! Only love for the waiter Alejandro, we had such a good time because of him <3

Heard a lot about this place. The noodles for me were pretty thick and chewy if I am honest and the prices quite chunky for the portion sizes. That said the food was very flavourful (I had the lamb and cumin) and the staff very friendly and attentive (even whilst a storm blew in as I was outside). You will have to queue if you time it wrong. Good, but not worth all the hype.

Amazing quality food and good service. for decent price

There is a wait, but the turnover is good. The food is also better than when I visited before. I had Biang Biang and Asian spicy. It was moderately spicy

Delicious biang biang noodles, definitely with beef because they melt in your mouth

Delicious food, but unfortunately difficult table situation. Inside there are almost only tables for 2, outside there are also tables for up to 4 people. Understandably, a table will only be allocated if the entire group is there. The queues are long. Small menu but it's tasty. The food comes quickly, the staff is nice.

The biang biang noodles were yum but nothing like WOW. imo it’s quite expensive for what you get, also considering the potential long queuing time. Sadly, there were only two small strands of pak choi so would recommend ordering a side dish, e.g. the cucumber salad for some freshness. I like that they have good vegetarian options. They‘ve increased the prices quite a bit and are lwk overhyped imo but def still tastes good! There are better alternative restaurants that are keeping up tho but I know Wen Cheng is THE known biang biang noodle place in town

Well, something fantastic. Fantastic food. The pasta is a piece of cake, hand-kneaded and it dominates the dish. The beef is soft and melts in your mouth. If you are in Berlin, planning a visit, be sure to visit Wen Chen. Important: in the premises you can only pay by card.

Biang Biang noodles with beef and the cucumber salad were ok, not bad but nothing special either. In my opinion it is completely overpriced. But the service was super fast and unobtrusive, so that was a plus point

Were there a year ago, back then 5/5 Unfortunately it has deteriorated a lot and is too expensive for that.

Best of best in berlin. Everytime i have there food. Its yum. Not even one time they have disappointed. Bao bun and biang biang noodles and weng cheng noodles. I like there lamb more, but my husband like there beef. So it depends on your taste. Dont miss there bao bun anytime

Noodles are delicious, okay 👌. But no service in German. And if you increase the price of Biang noodles by around 50% from €11.50 to €16.50 in 3 years, I find that, to put it mildly, unreasonable.

very tasty, but the price-performance ratio is no longer as good as it was 1-2 years ago. Today you only get smaller portions for more money 🤑🤑🤑

Very, very tasty, just unfortunately overhyped. Having to queue up to get something to eat in Prenzlauer Berg is strange, but it's nothing the company can do anything about. I recommend taking something with you, it will save you the annoying waiting time.

I don’t get the HYPE at all. As an Asian, I must say the noodle is far from authentic. The spiciness is so plain without fragrance and numbing. The noodle tastes overcooked, un-chewy and watery. There are thousands of ways to get better quality of asian food with better quality. 1 star for their braveness.

Incredibly delicious and authentic. Very quick service. Vegan options. Nice and spicy 🌶️🌶️

Good food, but you have to like spicy food. The first level of spiciness is already a pain! The lines are very long, so be prepared to wait for a few minutes.

Hello, prices here unfortunately seem a bit excessive to me, so despite my love for the cuisine of this region, I will hardly be found here too often. Still, all the best for the company. p.s. A direct link to the menu leads to nothing or to the Lieferando website

The best restaurant of Wen Cheng. Well balanced hand pooled noodles 🍜 Spicy and savory, undoubtedly one of the best Chinese restaurants im town

I've been here since the beginning. The sauce. is now being stretched, which was the highlight for me so far. It used to be very flavorful and intense, which made the food unique. Now it tastes watery. Prices have risen enormously within a short period of time. Price-performance ratio absolutely disproportionate

Amazing food, it was delicious and service was great!

I was really craving these Chinese homemade noodles, but they were sold out near me, so I thought I'd try Wen Cheng. I ordered the noodles with eggplant. Unfortunately, I don't understand the hype. The noodles were extremely thick, quite sticky, and extremely oily. I know they're supposed to use chili oil...but that much? Unfortunately, my vegan minced meat was also forgotten, which I only noticed when I got home. Too expensive for that.

Good. And even better when you don't have to wait ;)

Staff was super friendly, despite the crowd we could sit pretty quickly and service was much faster than expected (less than 10’ really). Both me and my friend were very satisfied with our choices. If you usually don’t handle well spicy food I recommend going for Weng Cheng Noodles, cause Biang Biang is hotttt. Both are delicious! Will be back x

Food delicious, service friendly, prices okay.

When it first appeared, it had a consistently delicious and addictive taste... After the 2nd and 3rd branches were opened, the taste was not consistent and in some cases, too much soup was made and it became watery.. Still, the taste is addictive.

Friendly, motivated staff. The waiting time until the food was served was very quick despite the restaurant being full. In terms of taste, our expectations were more than exceeded. You could smell the delicious noodles outside. Very welcoming.

Became very overpriced with extremely overseasoned and overcooked noodles. Don't understand the hype. There are many other better and cheaper hand pulled noodle places, also in this city. Bao bun is good, but also expensive.

Wen Cheng is a unique spot built around the philosophy of migration and hard work. The dish I tried was well-flavored and beautifully presented, though the portion size left something to be desired. Overall, it’s a solid experience with a nice atmosphere worth checking out.

Concept idea is good, unfortunately implementation was not successful.

We went on a Monday and they were not taking anymore walk-ins at 8:30 but allowed take away. Super friendly hostess and got the food very quick.

La comida: excelente El personal: excelente El ambiente: increíble La experiencia general: super Solo puedo recomendar este lugar

Wen Cheng Junk-Food-Kette – unverschämt teuer. Jeder Vietnamese, Burger oder Döner kommt besser. Finger weg von diesen lächerlichen Eine-Sorte-Nudel-Läden. Die dicken fetten Bandnudeln ohne Raffinesse mit der Auswahl von gerade mal dreierlei Zutaten (oh, am Mittwoch gibt es noch Rips) zu zwei pampigen Soßen machen weder Spaß noch beglücken sie. Die Tunken sind stark überwürzt und deckt alles zu, so dass kaum etwas anderes zu schmecken bleibt. Da gibt es noch so 'n Taco oder Wrap-Ding – wow! Das ganze Konzept ist schnell durchschaut. Wenig Aufwand – hoher Gewinn. Das Dargeboten ist dürftig bis mies. Mit Sicherheit gibt es keinen gelernten Koch Vorort. Wozu auch. Alles vorkonfektioniert und das Eine-Nudel-Ziehen ist schnell jedem Billigjober beigebracht. Im Hintergrund läuft laute Mainstream-Mukke. Das Ganze soll irgendwie hipp und trendy wirken, ist hingegen öde und abgelutscht. Zum Schluss noch die moralische Keule sich unter Zwang für eine Prozentzahl bzgl. Trinkgeld entscheiden zu müssen. Ich arbeite selbst in der Gastro und gebe gern Trinkgeld, aber nicht unter der Kontrolle vom Boss. Die Menükarte ist selbstverständlich voll fancy nur auf Englisch. Wen Cheng ist Geldmacherei – nichts zum Wohlfühlen. Hinter her brauchte ich zwei Schnaps und eine ganze Stunde um den Mampf endlich Richtung Darm zu verabschieden in der Hoffnung, dass dort alles gut ausgeht. Never ever! Das taugt nichts und kann gern schnell wieder weg.

Our expectations were relatively high as we regularly see long queues at the door. The menu is very clear with two different dishes in 3/4 variations. There is a hot and a mild version. The hot version was very spicy because it had a chili pepper on it. The service was nice but actually doesn't speak a word of German. I think that's a shame. Overall it wasn't bad but the price/performance ratio wasn't right at all. Not even if the pasta is homemade.

I hate the queue. But once you’re in, it’s a 5 star experience.

It's delicious, but the 3 peppers are spicy even for Koreans 🥵
