Wen Cheng 2 in Berlin

Busy Chinese restaurant in the center of Berlin.

Great restaurant with delicious food. Very wise philosophy of food, short menu (literally a few dishes). Food was served very quickly. Bao with chicken is awesome! Noodles are delicate, beef melts in your mouth. Service is very nice and helpful. Two tips: they have a break from 3 to 5 pm and payment is only by card ;)

It was outstanding! One of the best dishes I've ever eaten in my life. A must come back!

Ordered this for delivery and everything arrived fresh, hot, and well packaged! Selected "Spicy" for my spice level and it was WAY spicier than anticipated, but that's on me. The beef was fall apart tender, but aside from the spice, I didn't get much in terms of flavor. Noodles lived up to the hype, though, and the chicken bao was sublime. Would have loved an option on the delivery app to get cutlery.

Hand pulled noodles keep their promises. Very good spiciness, large portion and really good taste. But the hype can also be paid off well. For what it is, the prices are really steep. For this and for the canteen atmosphere there is a star deduction. Really good, but you can find it elsewhere for a few euros less, more comfortable and without a queue at the door. Otherwise: The Bao Bun is a real hit. The cucumbers are oily without much flavor.

What amazing noodles! Wen Cheng claim that Big Fat Noodles Are Taking Over Berlin. I can believe it. We knew nothing of the restaurant when we visited on a Thursday night. All we knew was that it looked popular, especially with people under 40, which my son liked. I ordered the lamb noodled dish and my son went for vegetarian. We each ate every last morsel. Utterly full of taste and texture. We left feeling nourished and replete. A lovely atmosphere with friendly staff. Oh, and great rice beer.

I can never understand why there's so much hype around this place, or why people are lining up in such long queues. I'm Asian, and I have to say, this is not authentic Asian food. Seriously, which country's cuisine is this supposed to be? I traveled all over China and other Asian countries, visiting both villages and big cities, and nowhere did I find a place selling noodles like these. These noodles have the worst texture I've ever tasted in my life. Are people just paying for the hype? I'm so confused—do people in Berlin really not know what authentic, decent food is supposed to taste like? I feel sorry whenever I see people queuing up there. I wish they knew what authentic, good food tastes like

The noodles are quite mediocre, didnt taste fresh nor tasty, very floury and not the nice texture you would expect from hand pulled noodles. Definitely disappointing despite all the good reviews here. The servers also gave the impression of rushing us to order. Overall not the best experience.

The noodles were very fine. Good music and relaxed atmosphere. I'm looking forward to next time.

I have loved this restaurant for years, but now it become so expensive and less tasty 🙂‍↕️

Good food, fast service. I would go again 👍

The food was absolutely delicious! It was rich, spicy, and garlicky, just the way I like it. The noodles were especially well-made. If you enjoy these bold flavors, this place is definitely worth a try!

Nothing relevant about this place. The food is neither good nor bad, service is ok but with no extra care. I would have recommended it if the prices were not so high. More than 16€ for a bowl of noodles with a few vegetables and some meat is way too expensive.

The chicken noodle dish contained two tiny pieces of chicken. The dish cost 12.5 euros. I was deceived

Had horrible stomach cramps diarrhea and nausea after. Food was really oily and I couldnt bring myself to finish it

Fantastic noodles! We both went for the biang biang noodles. They weren't too spicy for us (we would usually have a balti as a spice reference). The beef was so tender, all you needed to do was squeeze the chopsticks and the beef fell apart. Best meal we had in Berlin all holiday!

Started strong, slowed down a lot. The sauce was tasty and creamy. Now just water. This was the third time in a row that I had this experience. It used to be so good... PS: after Wen Cheng's answer, I wrote an email, but there was no answer.

Great food and very quick service.

Although the quality of the ingredients was not bad, this was the first time I had to get up without finishing a meal. Biang biang dough was rubbery and collapsed in the stomach. Meat and eggplant were good, but if we evaluate the plate as a whole, it was a tasteless and stomach-tiring dish. Extremely bitter and oily. Coriander is also very dominant. We experienced intestinal motility for 2 days after eating it.

Bit noisy in the restaurant itself, but the food was really good. Also unexpectedly 'short' waiting time (it was a weekday, and although there was a queue, we waited under 10 min). Food itself was good. As it comes, the spiciness was not too much (for the Sichuan noodles), just about right to get a slight kick. But you can always order it spicier anyway. The prices are a bit on the expensive side though.

Really fast, really tasty. Worth every cent, especially nice chunks of beef.

Wen Chen serves up some seriously delicious noodles—rich broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and that deep, satisfying umami hit. The flavors are on point, and you can tell they put effort into their ingredients. But here’s the catch: it’s pricey. For what you get, the portions aren’t exactly generous, and you’ll definitely feel the markup. It’s one of those places where you’re paying for the quality (which is great), but also the hype. Final verdict? Worth it for a treat, but not an everyday go-to unless you’re feeling bougie about your noodles.

This is the best Wen Cheng in Berlin, incredible food, atmosphere and really nice service. You can see that the team is getting along very well, kitchen staff, service, the entire team. Highly recommend biang biang noodles, a real treat. Beef, lamb- I really like them both. Will visit again upon my next trip to Berlin.

Best bao ever, amazing noodles, very nice and quick service !

I would SELL MY SOUL for the chicken baos. THEY ARE HEAVENLY! 10/10. Also the cucumber salad is 😮‍💨 I’m not a big fan of the Biang Biang noodles but the wen cheng beef one slaps. Apart from friendly and efficient service, the people working there are also serving good looks ;)

It's worth queuing. The noodles are homemade and the meat is very tender. Pleasant spiciness, accompanied by a light beer, clear recommendation!

Food was good, but did not accept card and do not offer regular receipts - just decoupled via email, bit shady. /update: they accept cards now.

The handmade noodles are really good.

Queued up outside but line went quick. Service was fast but we sat next to the door which was quite cold. Food was great. Good flavour and very filling

A great shop with delicious hand-pulled noodles, which we always like to visit at our mobile company parties. We greatly appreciate our collaboration and look forward to additional Wen Cheng franchise locations in the coming years!

This place is 100% worth the wait. They make the best handpulled noodles and bao buns in town hands down! Special thanks to the kitchen and service staff ⭐️ You are doing amazing! Keep it up :) I will be returning here as often as I can for some Biang Biang Tofu Shiitake noodles.

Very nice food and atmosphere ❤️

I really love this place ❤️❤️❤️this is my favourite restaurant in berlin coz the food is just wwoooww and specially service is superbbbb..A must visit restaurant 👌

It was good, unfortunately no warm drinks, neither tea nor coffee, so 1 point deducted…. Maybe it should also be the concept?!

the food is just alright (very oily) and the atmosphere is very cantina-like. also quite overpriced. what makes wen Cheng worth a visit is the staff. this wonderful red-haired girl with glasses and the tall Turkish guy with the grumpy face were absolutely lovely to me, and I left them a big tip for it the tofu bao was délicious, but they should definitely marinate their tofu

B dishes were very spicy, I thought they were about too spicy

Their meat is excellent. His truck was a bit much. But it was delicious. Tsk

Menu is simple and easy to decide. The noodle was really delicious and the amount was enough to feel full. Also, they were super fast and I only waited 5-6 minutes

The incident happened on January 6, 2024. The reason I’m writing this review now is that I suddenly remembered it while looking at some photos, and I believe incidents like this shouldn’t happen again. I am Asian, and I came to this restaurant with a friend to have a meal. However, the staff member in the photo made us feel very uncomfortable. We ordered one spicy dish and one that was slightly less spicy. She brought the food to our table in a manner that felt like she was almost throwing it at us. Pointing at one of the dishes, she said, “This is the spicy one.” Since the restaurant was quite noisy, we politely asked her to repeat it, but she simply turned around and walked away. A little later, we saw her laughing and joking around with other staff members, as shown in the photo. Her attitude made us want to leave as quickly as possible. We have no idea why she treated us so rudely. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants, but now we feel uneasy about coming back.

Super! The meat version and the vegan one are fantastic! The cucumber salad was average, but the noodles and bao were delicious. The workers are also friendly and the waiting time is not long. Clean bathrooms.

Amazing place for noodles, with a spice level to suit all tastes. We get noodles here regularly. Both the lamb and beef are excellent

If I could give 10 ⭐️, I would! 🛒 We went there on a packed Sunday afternoon and were able to fit with 2 baby strollers (mind you, our baby stroller is huge). Overall, I would definitely say it is kid-friendly, even if it doesn’t seem like it on a first look. Also the staff did their best to accommodate us with our little guests by offering us a few tables which had more space around them. 🍜 The portions were HUGE. I have never had so much meat on a plate. Really tasty and authentic Chinese hand-made noodles. 🛎️ The service was very fast and friendly. Like VERY fast! We asked if they could heat our baby food and had no issues with it. The staff was lovely and really nice.

I don’t know why and when somehow this noodle became soup noodles… that’s a lot of soup for hand pulled noodles. I had many times before but i am afraid this will be the last time 😭

I was hoping that Wen Cheng 2 would simply have twice as large portions as Weng Cheng 1. Unfortunately that's not the case. Still tasty

Discontent may stem from the expectations with which one enters the place. The noodles were good, but the sauce, both spicy and sweet, left a lot to be desired. It is a repetitive flavor that gets tiring quickly.

Tried everything over there. Just loved it 🙌🏻 Thank you 👊🏻

Absolute highlight. The handpulled noodles here are incredibly delicious - the noodles are fresh and handmade, you can taste the quality in every bite. The menu offers a great selection and the portions are generous. I was particularly impressed by the perfect combination of flavors and spices. The service was quick and very friendly, you immediately feel welcome. I'll definitely be back - a real pleasure experience!

In fact, I don’t quite understand why so many people like it. Everyone thinks that the dishes are very simple, the meat is not particularly delicious, the price is high, and you have to queue up.

Just tasty, nothing special, but tasty. The meat is very very soft, the noodles are thick and wide, but when they are in the sauce, they are delicious.

The food is just awesome! I wish there would be more places like that everywhere, it’s super fast but at the same time super fresh, the spices are amazing, the staff is friendly, the baos were a different level, so tender!! I can really recommend this place even though it’s always crowded.

Good noodles, don’t understand the hype though.

“Unfortunately I was very disappointed with my visit to this Asian restaurant. The food didn't taste good at all - the noodles were far too thick and inedible. When I wanted to pay, I could only do so using a debit card, which I couldn't understand because I wanted to pay with cash. After paying, I didn't receive a receipt, which was irritating. When I then asked for it, the receipt was issued to me, but with items that I had not ordered. I spoke to the manager of the store, who didn't respond very friendly, but in the end he said we didn't have to pay anything and would get our money refunded. Overall this experience was very disappointing and I will certainly not visit this restaurant again.”

Wen Cheng is back in the game :) the quality was superb when the first restaurant opened, despite long queues. Then the quality at the OG location dropped (drastically), simultaneously other wen cheng locations were opening up. For a long time, I wasn’t convinced and stopped going there completely. However, my recent visit was amazing! If you’re not into the noodles, I highly recommend the chicken bun / sandwich and cucumber salad - they’re both excellent, too.

The best place in Berlin, unique noodles

Biang Biang Beef was very delicious. I ordered Asian Spicy as someone who likes spicy and I was satistified , sweated a bit but no regrets at all 😏 service was really fast but it is crowded a bit you need wait outside

We ate chicken bun and biang biang lamb. It was beautiful. It's worth coming again. We waited in line outside, but the queue comes very quickly, especially if you are 2 people.

One of my absolute favourite places in Berlin. I go there often and it is consistently good - never had an issue whether it’s been dining in or getting it to go. Great portion size, as spicy as you desire and so delicious! There’s a reason there’s always a long line of people waiting!

It is a good restaurant in itself. The quality is good, but the ‘hospitality’ we experienced yesterday left us somewhat speechless. We arrived before 7pm and were allocated a table. We then waited for a while until we were served. The food then arrived very quickly. After about an hour and 15 minutes, the colleague from the entrance came to us and threw fortune biscuits and calendars on our table. I hadn't even finished my second drink. He then asked directly whether we were paying together or separately. He didn't ask if we wanted to order anything else, which service staff often do to make themselves heard. No time limit was communicated to us when we were greeted either. We were totally perplexed by this indirect ‘kick-out’. Outside, guests were asked to wait, although there were at least three free tables for two inside. For me, this was the first but unfortunately also the last visit. This kind of behaviour just makes you feel like a cash cow that should disappear again as quickly as possible.

The music is very loud and noisy. The male manager is a bit rude. The food is good.

The food was good, but the evening turned into a dramatic experience. An employee was extremely aggressive, insulted guests and seemed overwhelmed. The reason? He allegedly felt like he was being watched and then really harassed me and other guests. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable and ruined my evening. NEVER AGAIN!!

The food was okay but very expensive. Nice service and at atmosphere

Overrated. Bad Eating experience since the Noodles are too big and not really easy to eat. The flavor is not that good either.

Literally the first place i go to every time i reach Berlin. Hard to describe the taste of broth, tender meat and noodles. Great Bao Bun and Cucumber Salad as a starter. Impressive vegetarian options were provided in the menu aswell!

Everything is very delicious!! Highly recommended

Excellent authentic Chinese Biang Biang Mian with amazing price to value! The hand-pulled noodles are tasty and savory, have a soft and chewy texture served in a spicy, tangy sauce with braised beef belly. Food comes out quickly. Highly recommend!

I would never recommend or go there again. Everything was way too over-seasoned, the noodles weren't tasty. You pay for the hype. Service was top.

Lovely BiangBiangMian! They taste amazing. We tried three different spice levels at the table and they really were perfect for all of us.

Unfortunately it didn't suit me and my companions' taste. I had the vegetarian noodles with eggplant. Others have noodles with beef. For people who can't eat spicy food, even the simplest spiciness is too much. In my opinion the store doesn't live up to its hype...

Probably the best dinner I had in Berlin 🍜

Bao buns - 5/5 Marakaon Wen Cheng- 3+/5 Price-quality ratio - 5/5 Reservation is not needed. We waited about 7 minutes for our food. The pasta is too plain and greasy. We couldn't eat the entire dish. I recommend the eggplant option, it tastes surprisingly good!

Regular spicy ended me. So good. Definitely will put you to bed

Best handmade noodles in town..

Mainstream overpriced and incorrect opening times given

Incredible noodle options and huge and affordable portions. The staff is very friendly and I would definitely return! Highly recommended!

Delicious, bit pricy and louder but very yummy

Best noodles! We were very surprised by the quality of the food and excited to be back! Super fast service and nice atmosphere with rock music ❤️ vegetarian with tofu and shiitake was amazing

Very tasty food. A little too spicy but great in taste 😊 Food came very quickly.

pieces of meat that are too large. Bite-sized would be nice. The chicken in the Bao Burger must have been quite old as it was dry and stringy inside.

Good and clever concept. The noodles are good - the place is a bit stressful and you get a bit rushed through the food. Of course it's a matter of taste, but I found the food here to be anything but relaxed. Be sure to order a portion of pasta with it so that you can finish off the delicious spicy sauce haha

I could never explain the line of people outside the restaurant. Today we tried it out ourselves. It is the noodles that characterize the dishes. Delicious. Relaxed atmosphere. Gladly again:)

A bit too expensive for pasta with a few chunks of beef, I had to shell out €16.50. And outside they lined up like vultures. Then I went to Rewe and got some pasta and delicious pesto for €3.50 for the next hunger pangs.

Small restaurant very good service delicious food always happy

The bao buns were super delicious! The pasta with the sauce was okay :) Service was super nice. Unfortunately, at many places you don't have the option to hang your jacket over the chair or anywhere.

Its true, I had to laugh; because the too oily noodles are impossible to catch with chopsticks. My dish (with the smallest amout of spiciness - cheng weng beef) was still a bit "hot" for me, but that was ok. Service is friendly and quick with delivering all orders. I would still give Wen Cheng a visit once in a while and recommend it

After I visited Wen Cheng in Friedrichshain and was quite disappointed with the quality of the noodles (they were way too thick and partly raw inside), the noodles here were better. Still, for the price, I expect the noodles to be really "masterfully" cooked. They are not. They stick together, are not really consistent in shape and look like they were made by a trainee. When you look into the kitchen it becomes clear that there is no pasta master here. In short, the noodles are just not good. But what's good is the sauce, it tastes really great. However, there simply has to be more for the price. In the end it's more like a food stall here. Everything happens quickly, everything is impersonal, but the taste is right.

The Biang Biang noodles taste very tasty and spicy. Unfortunately, even "WTFSpicy" isn't really spicy for me. The taste of the chili oil is first-class and I would also like to use it at home for my home-made noodles. Will definitely come back and recommend visiting Wen Cheng.

I enjoyed coming here to eat, I enjoyed everything, even though the service wasn't particularly attentive or friendly, but last Sunday my food was extremely salty, I mentioned it and the waiter didn't care. Didn't bring me any new food... Although I didn't eat it because it was really extremely salsa, I would have to pay for it..../ :/ I'm very disappointed.

Great great place the discovery of this weekend, I'll definitely come back. The beef was on point and I asked for 🔥🥵 it was exactly as I liked them.

Really delicious! They have a few locations, but it tastes best here! Service very nice and attentive. The ambience is well done!

This place is awesome - they have a simple bit delicious menu and fast service once you get through the long (but worth it line). I come back to one of the locations every time I visit Berlin.

Very spicy yet super delicious food :))

Extremely overhyped, ridiculously expensive and the food is absolutely awful. I really don’t understand how people could wait outside for hours only to get inside and sit so close to someone you could barely open your elbows to eat a bowl of noodles no different that the 25 cent ramen noodles pack… I got a quarter of a mushroom and 4 cubes of tofu with what I could count was around 7 noodles swimming in oil… The food is so oily and bad it’s disgusting. The service is amazing though I have to be honest that gets 5 stars but everything else gets 1 star for sure.

The noodles and chicken bun bao are delicious but what will keep me coming back for laps is the service. My first visit, the server - Aussie? - wowed me by a generous serving of tap water. My most recent visit we showed up with four kita kids and he didn't bat an eye. He gave us the most entertaining spot in the house where the kids can watch the cooks. The servers were also very kind when we inevitably broke a glass. The "kids' noodles" was a crowd pleaser for the butter noodle types. The bao without the spicy aioli and beef noodles without the chili was great for "adventurous" kid eaters. The food was out super fast. Weekend lunch or right when they open on weekdays are no wait. Don't miss the eggplant add-on. It will change your life. There are few places in Berlin where one can show up with a gaggle of kids and be genuinely welcome. Thank you for making our Sunday afternoon meal so pleasant and delicious.

Super tasty Chinese noodle dishes, which can also be served EXTREMELY spicy upon request. The Bao Chicken Buns and the cucumber salad are also highly recommended. You often have to wait a bit, but you will be rewarded with great food.

I used to go to the original and was blown away by the rich broth and those chewy fresh hand pulled noodles. Once they expanded the quality suffered a bit (my broth had too much miso) but it is still very good. Can’t go wrong with fresh noodles.

Wasn't what I expected. It's actually just goulash with thick noodles, a few pickles and coriander sprinkled on top. Disappointing Price/performance ratio doesn't fit at all. Ambience isn't that great either. Neither does service. It's very reminiscent of a canteen.

The food wasn't to my taste. The price-performance ratio is not balanced. Staff only speaks English.

Pasta is DELICIOUS! It melts in your mouth. This dish is quite fatty and spicy, so I recommend taking something to drink and not exaggerating the spiciness. We took the smallest step and it was still biting :) nice place, we will definitely come back

Delicious:) excellent pasta with fried aubergines!

If you've endured waiting so long to finally get a table, then the fantastic food is worth it. The two versions of the main courses are very tasty and the spicy version is particularly recommended.
