Wen Cheng 1 in Berlin

As a Singaporean where it has its fair share of hand-pulled noodle establishments, Wen Cheng is better than most of them. The noodles have the perfect texture and is able to soak up that chili oil with ease. Prepare to queue but turnover can be pretty quick as the food is served almost immediately after ordering. As a place that’s quite fast paced, I was surprised that the service is very pleasant.

Good noodles. But nothing that justifies the price. And even less waiting for almost half an hour in line ... on a Sunday evening no less. TLDR; if this was a bit cheaper and the turnaround a bit quicker, this would be five stars.

Top Big fat hand pulled noodles taking over Berlin

Great food, great service (English only) and always delicious. Never been disappointed there. However, you should always expect to wait until you get a table.

Really tasty, not a lot of choice but really good.

The food was extremely tasty, but unfortunately the prices have risen dramatically in recent years.

Hubby and I ordered beef and lamb biangbiang. Hubby would like to revisit before we departure to next stop. Cumin and lamb one was his fav. I love the flavour however would be nicer if the noodles thinner . As a Chinese , maybe I have a higher standard. Saw the noodle shi fu was making the noodles, he looked tired and so focus. kudos for his great skill! Glad our beautiful food passing and popular across thousands KM away

We almost waited an hour to for the line to get a table but definitely worth it

Ok guys, you may have to queue a little. But the food is beyond delicious. One of my favourites in the city! The noodles and the aubergines are pure heaven.

Really enjoyed this place while we were in Berlin for the day. We ordered and it felt like the food came out like two minutes later. It was so fast for a sit down restaurant! Everyone was so nice here. We were the last people there the night we went so they offered extra food to take home that they were going to have to throw out. The food was so yummy and the kind that I ordered was nice and spicy! Definitely give this place a try if you have time while in Berlin!

Noodles now cost EUR 16.50. That's really too much money for a good, but quite simple meal in a simple snack bar atmosphere.

We had the cucumber salad, the chicken bao and the lamb and the aubergine biang noodles. The starters came super fast, both very tasty, esp the cucumber a good addition to the noodles. The noodles themselves less spicy than we thought (we got regular spicy), both very tasty, lamb slightly better even. We watched the chefs prepare the food and they seemed to have a great time! Very fast service. Would I line up again though? Probably not, but defo a great option for delivery!

Price is high for the quality of food and service. And there are just a few options. The place is really small and poorly decorated.

I actually like eating here, but it's 5:19 p.m. and the door is still locked. very unfortunate

A place that sells Chinese style wide noodles. There are two bases (Biang Biang!Wen cheng), and each type and price range varies depending on the toppings (meat, tofu, etc.). I liked Piang Piang because it has a spicy and spicy taste, and Wencheng is a little less spicy but has a light taste, so I can eat it without getting tired of it. The staff are fluent in English and the atmosphere is hip. I went right in without waiting around 1pm on a Saturday. Be careful with white clothes because of the red color.

World Top Class Biang Biang Noodles

Lovely meal, very quick service. Beef was so tender and noodles were delicious

Very tasty, beef excellent. Price starts at €15.50 and unfortunately is not justified at all given the portions.

Wow!’ This was a delicious bowl of noodles. The bao are more taco shaped sandwiches rather than the bun style bao. Everything was delicious, the staff were kind, and the seating was comfortable. A big win all around.

We had to wait 20+ minutes to get a table for 4, but it was worthwhile as I really enjoyed their Fried Chicken Bao and Biang Biang Tofu & Shitake. On the downside, the seating here is somewhat limited and the space is quite congested.

It is really delicious but would be wonderful if the portion could be a bit more. The noodle is very close the traditional Chinese type, which is amazing. The staffs are friendly, which makes the experience even better.

🇵🇱 Wen Cheng 1 in Berlin is definitely the most delicious place we visited during our weekend trip! We liked it so much that we went there twice, one day after another. Their handmade Biang Biang noodles are truly something special. The dumplings were perfectly seasoned and full of sauce, and the meat was incredibly tender and melted in your mouth. Additionally, the sharpness level can be adjusted to your preferences. This is an absolute must for anyone who loves authentic, flavorful pasta dishes! 🇬🇧 Wen Cheng 1 in Berlin was hands down the most delicious spot we visited during our weekend getaway! We loved it so much that we went twice, two days in a row. Their hand-pulled Biang Biang noodles are truly something special. The noodles were perfectly saucy, and the meat was incredibly tender, melting in your mouth. We also loved that you can adjust the spice level to your liking. It’s a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic, flavorful noodles!

Very tasty noodle bowl! Though max spicy was not as spicy as I expected. The appetizer cucumber salad was fantastic. Wait time was not long and service was very quick. Visited in June 2024.

Food is great, unfortunately completely overpriced at €16.50, especially since the same plate cost €12.50 last year…

Quite disappointed with the service and after waiting more than 30 mins food was delivered cold. This place is WAAAAAAY over rated

For me it was too sour but for my friends it was perfect. I liked Bao more then noodles 🍜

So for a small bowl of noodles with beef almost 19 euros - outrageous. It was ok but extremely expensive for a take away and the food was ok but nothing that extraordinary and the price is automatically tacked on if you pay with Visa... that too. Really outrageous

Honestly don’t understand the hype. The food was ok but not mind blowing. And the prices were pretty hefty for that.

Very tasty savory or lighter noodles your choice; service good food ready almost too quickly but that’s ok; small cozy space inside is nice & atmospheric

Amazing food! Really happy that we made the trip over. The handmade noodles are really out of this world! Please do visit! The beef was very tender and good. Cucumber salad could have been spicier, otherwise everything was awesome!

Really top food, really tasty. Unfortunately, you sit quite crowded and not really comfortable indoors. For people with sensitive stomachs, the spiciness is really great. Dogs are welcome 🐕

Loved the biang biang noodles! Not too mild nor too spicy. Highly recommend!

Been there 3 times, changed the meat recipe. Probably to save costs and what can I say. From top 3 to inedible unfortunately. From 2 weeks ago it would definitely be 5/5

The portion doesn't look very big, but it's more than filling. Reasonably priced for the area. But I can't understand the long queues in front of the restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic place for hand made noodles . One of the few places in Berlin where you good tasting noodles . The menu is short and simple. The service is very quick .Staff is very friendly. There is always a queue so plan in advance. We have tried their biang biang lamb and cumin noodles. They were delicious . One warning - their spice level is real Asian level . So be careful while ordering. The buns were also pretty tasty. The one issue is sometimes outside tables get little cramped to sit . Otherwise five star place. No street parking in front of the restaurant. Definitely going back .

Only 4 stars due to the very high prices. Otherwise I would have given it a 5 because the food (biang biang beef) is incredibly tasty. I can't get enough of it! It's a flavor I haven't tasted anywhere else.

Good authentic food, quite expensive but worth a visit!

Horrible service made our experience terrible. We ordered the non spicy noodles and got served the spicy ones. Not knowing the place, we ate some of it and realized that the level of spice was too high, asked the waiter who admitted his mistake and brought us the right noodle (really good food!). At the end of the meal the manager came and made us pay for their mistake, without any understanding and foreseen explanation. Quite unfortunate and unacceptable…

Really very tasty! A little tip: it's better not to wear anything light-colored, it doesn't look so good with chili oil.. :)

Too few tables, you have to wait a long time and only pay by card

Pretty tasty biang biang noodles althoughh they were a little too oily for my taste

I ordered online with a hot pepperoni (there were 2 and 3) and assumed it would be slightly spicy. ... my mouth and lips burn, I can't enjoy it and I got the hiccups. Sorry, that's not normal, you can't do that. Looking back, the food came extremely quickly... maybe it was a complaint from another guest who found it too spicy, who knows...

As an Asian, i was skeptical of this place but they really surprised me. My only issue is that i’m not a fan of huge noodles, would love it if they have more choice in the noodles (I like small thin ones). Also, I think the beef/lamb (forgot which) is too overpowering, it will go better with minced pork. But i appreciate how tender the meat it. Oh and btw, do not order the bao. I ended up only eating the chicken with my noodles.

The prices have gone too high, it's no longer worth it for a few noodles, it's a shame.

We had to wait in line, but it was definitely worth it! We ordered Biang Biang Lamb & Cumin, Wen Cheng Lamb & Cumin and Cucumber Salad. The pastas were delicious, delicate and perfectly cooked, the lamb - heaven in your mouth, tender, juicy and full of flavor! We especially liked the Biang Biang noodles. I highly recommend it!

I'm a fan of Asian cuisine per se. Last weekend I had the pleasure of trying "Hand Pulled Noodles" for the first time and the first thing I said to myself was "Uuuh, that's nice!" coupled with a completely satisfied and approving head nod 😅. Price-performance was great! The staff friendly, competent and hardworking. A small point of criticism that I have to point out is that you always have to fight for a table (due to popularity). Still doesn't stop me from visiting Weng Cheng when I'm in Berlin again :)

We had both the spicy and non-spicy noodles, as well as the baos. The meat was very tender, and the noodles had just the right amount of bite. The chicken bao was also delicious. Reservations are not possible, so there was a long queue. We waited for 20 minutes. The food was good, but I wouldn't wait for an extended period of time to get them.

Outstanding ! Tasty and worth the wait! You have to queue up to enter the restaurant as it’s super packed. Tiny place but service is quick and I can keep going back! Highly recommend it!

The Biang Biang noodles are a must to try! Best thing I had in Berlin!

It was nice to try the food every 2 or 3 months but last night I ordered and they reduced the meat almost to 1/3 to get more profit; it was noodles and a little meat floating in the sea of oil! If you continue like this, you will lose your customers Mr. Cheng! I hope you reconsider it!

Food tastes very tasty. Unfortunately the chairs were uncomfortable

Coming for a couple of years already and must say the food lost quality and amount. Rising prices AND offering less feels a bit like a scam. It's a pity. But TripAdvisor seems to bring lots of tourists, always.

Everybody talks about this place in Berlin because it really is the best! The noodles and beef stew are soooo good along with the bao buns 😍

I found the shop while walking past a few years ago. Hand pulled noodles weren't easy for me to get at that point and the snake spoke for itself. After one bowl I was completely convinced. Afterwards I rode my bike home in the rain and still had a big grin on my face. 10/10 I would have some noodles again.

Super tasty noodles. Recommendation if you like it spicy - feel free to choose something spicier. Chicken bao is also good

Absolute recommendation. Food is very good and spicy is also spicy.

Yeah it might be overhyped, but even now years later without them doing any changes at all to the menu it’s still simply really really good. Pro tip get a beer from the späti next door. Its byob.

Love the pulled noodles and come here every time i visit Berlin.

+ The food is really very good; al dente noodles in a tasty sauce and tender meat - The drink selection leaves a lot to be desired; no beer e.g - it could be a little cheaper

Nice place to grab a bite. Noodles are nicely done, love the texture. Only we arrived 30mins before closing, seemed busy but still have places to sit. We were told only for takeaways at this point. I wished they had made it clearer in the website, not when you are already there.

Simple, clear map, but the best noodles in the area. The spiciness should not be underestimated, if you can't handle it much, it's better to order it less spicy. The meat is tender and delicious. But the best thing is the wide noodles. Mega!

Prices are just absurd now. There are plenty of good alternatives nowadays no reason to give greedy people hard earned money.

Great food and atmosphere, everything we have ordered was quick and well prepared.

Everything is great, just the seatings are a bit too close to each other

An honest product (but now a bit too expensive for the portion) and simply very good Chinese home cooking. The taste could perhaps handle a bit more - chili, garlic and a lot of oil dominate, the delicious braising stock is almost lost (biang biang beef) - but it tastes great and is a lot of fun! Highly recommended version with eggplant too! Tip: The waiting time to eat on site was of course very long. However, take away only took about 20 minutes.

Really great food. always happy !

Great food but when I wanted a single noodle for my baby to chew on, they wanted to charge €3.50. That's what I call terrible service.

The food is good but they want to squeeze out every last Cent. At the table next to us one couple wanted just one plain noodle for their baby to chew on. They only offered to buy a whole portion. Sad :-(

Really satisfying food with a lot of Umami flavor - well balanced between savouriness and sweetness. Personally preferred the the biang biang sauce but wen Cheng was also really tasty. It was worth the 15 minutes queue, for sure will come here again.

The noodles are delicious but too much oil in the sauce makes them too fatty. The texture is good and one can notice the freshness of the handmade noodles. But honestly I am not going to wait in the line for such a meal.

Very tasty but sometimes way too oily. The eggplant is great! Not a restaurant to linger for long. Eat and move on :)

This place changed me 😍 Small menu and everything tastes amazing. Honestly i don’t go as much these days because it inspired me to start cooking my own noodles, but thanks Wen Cheng. I’ll be back soon. The Cum in Lamb and Aubergine biang biang noodles are classice

This place has a simple menu - they pretty much do one thing and they do it really well. I loved their vegan options, I tried the tofu shiitake noodles and the eggplant with soy meat noodles. Both absolutely delicious and very filling. We waited in line for half an hour, but it was worth it! The service was great and the food came really quickly.

The best aubergine in town. It is almost magical. They are dog friendly too ❤️

The pasta is spectacular, especially the spicy one. One of my favorites in Berlin

If you are Chinese and want to eat authentic Chinese food, you are in the wrong place.

I did took the biang biang beef noodles. The quality of the dish was really good. I didn’t find nothing surprising in this dish.

I tried this restaurant whilst visiting my friends in Berlin. The location is informal, and the seats are small, which for us didn’t really make a difference. What stood out was the food: best noodles ever, so tasty, so filling, so flavoured. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED: 5/5 stars (for those who like spicy food, as for the special spicy variety).

Delicious hand-pulled noodles. The “burgers” are also a big recommendation. So bring your appetite! The only drawback: the store is super small and spaces are rare. Otherwise really great!

Authentic and simply delicious handpulled noodles! But you should expect a waiting time.

Really delicious freshly made noodles. Simple but delicious ⭐

Amazing food and friendly staff :)

Ordered Biang Biang Beef (spice level 2). One of the best hand pulled noodles in Berlin.

Noodles are great The sauce is a fusion of Mexico and Korea. The name is therefore not appropriate because it is Chinese. I expected a different taste. If you don't know southern Chinese cuisine, you can eat here. Staff very friendly and nice atmosphere.

I probably expected too much because of the constant queue. The noodles tasted very good. Unfortunately the portion was puny. The burger is obviously a matter of taste. It's not my case. Service is virtually non-existent. Neither is the ambience. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not even close. Conclusion: completely overrated

Amazing food but at what cost? Arrived 1.5 hours before closing time, was told to wait outside (in the rain) for 20-25 minutes - 45 minutes later I was told seating stops in 30 minutes. I was encouraged to wait nonetheless. 5 minutes later I’m informed they’re out of 90% of their dishes and that they will stop serving shortly. Never been treated that badly and disrespectfully by a restaurant before.

There's always a long wait but the noodles are really great

It was worth waiting! despite the long queue, the service was organized efficiently. The food is exceptional and the best in this area. Very interesting history of the restaurant itself - be sure to check it out! Best regards, we will definitely come back here!

I had the level 1 spiciness menu with eggplant and it was delicious. However, it is narrow and hot inside and the chairs are a bit uncomfortable.

No German knowledge 16.50 for a dish but they don't even serve a glass for drinks, as if that were asking too much. As if you were at a kebab shop. Moderate portion and no cash option, I've never had anything like that before.

The noodles have declined in quality compared to previous visits. They're not bad, but they're no longer worth the wait.

So Tatsty hand made Nudel , good service .

Nice place and good Chinese food, great service.

BEST BAO BUN I HAVE EVER TASTED WITH CRISPY TOFU WUVSJSBEB SO GOOD AND OF COURSE THEIRHAND PULLED NOODLES WERE *CHEFS KISS

The food tastes good, but I think it tastes better in other places

Famous for their fresh and handmade noodle, they are perfectly cooked with their eggplant, beef, pork, or tofu version, with a lot of spices !! Good noodle restaurant in Berlin, must try !

« Was better before » The man waiter is so unfriendly, oh wow! In around 2 years prices took 6€ more for the same quality. But obviously VERY good!!!!

I saw it on Insta and really wanted to try it. It wasn't that tasty at all. The noodles are mushy and thick. Fast food ambience due to the hype. You have to like tamarind sauce. I'm not coming back... I'm sorry...

The food was very tasty, exactly my taste. It's a little cramped outside, the street is very loud, but that's fine, it's Berlin.

Here you can experience delicious Chinese noodle dishes
