Wen Cheng 2 in Berlin

A sledgehammer to the face of flavour.

There was a queue when we went, but it was moving fast. We ate biang biang with meat, we loved it, in one word, it was great, the meat was very good, the noodles were different and nice, the sauce was great, the employees were very attentive, we will definitely come again. 💜💜💜

The best noodles I have eaten in Berlin. Unfortunately the waitress wasn't that attentive.

Highly popular and considered as one of the best noodles places in the city. While they are really good, I found the beef to be pretty average, even if noodles and the flavors were excellent. So definitely worth a visit but not the entirety of the hype.

It's a very good restaurant. The food is excellent. After waiting around fifty minutes, we were quickly seated and served. There is not much choice on the menu but the dishes are complete and tasty. Possibility of eating with chopsticks or services. The view of the kitchen is interesting, you can see the cooks getting to work. Prices are normal. The wait is worth it!

Very nice discovery Be careful, however, for people who are intolerant to spices or who don't eat spicy foods! One chili pepper on the menu may already be too much for some...

The food was delicious at first, but unfortunately I was convinced otherwise when I went to the toilet at home

Very tasty, but unfortunately far too oily.

Pretty overrated I'd say. The noodles are thick and glutinous, leaving you feeling bloated. Sauces are quite tasty, but it's really all heavy noodles.

Delicious noodles! They can be quite spicy so choose carefully.

Not a big difference from Wen Cheng 1

Noodles were tasty, but the cucumber salad didn't taste like before something was missing.

The place is small, and there might be a line if you want to eat in, but it’s totally worth the wait! The food is fantastic, especially the biang biang noodles. They’re perfectly chewy, saucy, and have just the right amount of spice. If you love spicy food like I do, I recommend going for the 2 chilis option. Highly recommend!

Don’t really understand the hype… Bao was better than the actual noddles. Something is missing flavor wise and the waiter let us not order for +20 mins.

It was 3 degrees outside and the white staff insisted we waited outside, instead letting the white group in front of us waiting inside. It’s comical a Chinese restaurant is racist against Asian customers. Come for the food, don’t expect much for the service.

Amazing Noodles, very fast service. Might have some waiting time due to high demand tho.

First of all, this is a Chinese restaurant. The portions are huge. If you go to try it, definitely order one. The spice density is very high, it is generally nice, but the price for this service is very expensive.

Authentic noodles! Just the taste is a bit too salty, but I guess it’s adapted for the local market

They were the best noodles I’ve EVER eaten! The wait was like 45 mins but I could’ve waited 2 hours for this. Awesome!!!!!!

I loved it! But you must arrive early, they open at 5pm and minutes before there are people waiting to enter. Everything is delicious and the service is very friendly and they also speak English. We ordered the main dish with beef but they also have vegan options and other types of meat. I recommend ordering the spicy options, they are worth it. The noodles are handmade.

So worth the hype!! Best noodles ever. Savoury, garlicy and spicy. Despite it being busy, you’re served straight away and the food doesn’t take very long to come out. My partner and I got the smashed cucumber salad, Sichuan chicken bao’s and biang biang noodles (one of them was vegan). I found it all to be full of flavour and fresh. I tried the “Asian” spicy level, and it had me sniffling, so it’s not for the weak. Noodles are a little bit pricey, but the portion size will fill you up. Relaxed atmosphere. Give it a try!

i shared the dish and the taste was good but probably too spicy to finish up alone :)

I rarely write reviews but your bao buns are really awesome. These are the best I've ever eaten. WOW!

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique. Following the sucess of number 1 wen cheng, the second one continues the legend alive. Must go.

Food used to be much better here :( On my last visits, the quality deteriorated a lot. The noodles were overcooked, the meat was undercooked (way too tough).

Terrible place. We ordered 2 dishes, one was supposed to be super spicy and the other one was supposed to be not spicy. Of course we got two super spicy dishes. Given the high prices they should at least pay a minimum of attention on their customer's orders. Horrible experience, worst place ever, totally not recommended. Won't order again. (Yes I'm hangry!)

It's a shame that the food is great. But everything else is pure disappointment. I give the food 5 STARS. Unfortunately the service is very unfriendly. The shop seems very cold and is absolutely uncomfortable. I think so that people eat quickly and walk quickly. We didn't get any receipt either. I would be interested in a summary of the cost of what I ate. Next time I will order.

Super delicious! Everything fresh, nice service!

The first time I visited by chance, I was completely amazed by the noodles and the Sichuan Fried Chicken Bao. Now one of my favorite food spots in Berlin.

so delicious!!!! quite pricey but the quality of food is really good!! go early or expect a queue and waiting time, def recommend going!!

Food is good but why in hell you sell that beer! Can you sell some proper decent beer.

Personally, the noodles were too thick for me and therefore 'heavy'. After a short time it became tiring to eat them with chopsticks, so I used a fork afterwards. The taste was okay, I wouldn't eat it again.

great staff and amazing vegetarian noodles, big portions too !

Overhyped, overpriced. The flavor of Biang Biang Beef was off and the portion size does not justify the price. The quality has diminished over the years, unfortunately. There are other smaller places around Berlin with better noodles and better flavors.

We had to wait in line for half an hour, but the food was worth it! Super tasty.

Unfortunately after my last visit last month, I noticed the quality has dropped... The beef no longer as tender as before. The noodle was unevenly pulled with some part too thick...

It's a good idea. You should let your master apply explosive anti-reflectors to the tank. Maybe if you are lucky enough to hit the thick one, you won't be able to perform the flying head trick there. The noodles were stretched out so thickly that they looked as if they were not yet familiar with the mud-coded city walls. How much money did Xiaohuangshu spend on promoting it?

WAY WAY WAY over priced! Your getting chinese Nooldes. Of which there are Literally THOUSANDS of there Restaraunts all over berlin. and 90% of these are at least half the price. And the staff, were quite unfriendly.

I understand why everyone is saying this. It's so attractive in every way. What's going on with the noodles 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 It says spicy, but to the people of Buldakbokkeummyeon, this is spicy? As much as I want it haha, it's still deliciously spicy. Oh, always use meat as the topping. + Additional review after second visit: No. The branch is the truth. Also, I made it with Asian spice and it tasted bitter, but it was so delicious. It's a taste I already miss. I hope it becomes popular in Korea as well.

Noodles are very dense and less chewy than the usual Chinese hand pulled noodles. However, it is still nice and filling. Flavours are great as well! Generous portion of meat too. I prefer the Biangbiang one as it is saltier and spicier than the wen chang one.

One of the few places in Berlin where you can get a serious chilli fix. Their chilli rating system starts at “Spicy” and progresses to “Asian Spicy” and then to “WTF Spicy”. Delicious!

You guys, be careful. Shin Ramyun was spicy so I made it Asian spicy and now I'm dying. Remember, this is Europe, but this is an Asian restaurant. If your physical condition deteriorates while traveling, you may feel more spicy. Compromise with yourself

all great, can’t wait to return!

I love to come by every once in a while to enjoy the amazing hand pulled pasta.

Such a good place for noodles😍 Very fast and tasty! Highly recommend, this is not a typical Asian place, something in new style.

That was delicious and spicy. I ordered Asian spicy but that was too much. Next time I will get less spicy. Plan your visit in advance because there is always a queue. This time it took 20 minutes

This stood out as the busiest place in the area, and as it turned out, for a good reason. The wen cheng noodles are juicy and so tasety, the beef was superb- full of taste and just melted in the mouth. The dish was spicy, but not too much (you can have it more spicy if you like, I asked for one more level of spiciness and it was perfect). Prices are fair and the place is casual. Service is efficient and friendly. Highly recommend!

Greatest pulled noodles in Berlin!!

Drinks were forgotten, noodles are always very tasty. But there's nothing special about sauce. lamb not juicy; Tastes average, I'll downgrade the food to two stars. The vapors make you thirsty all night long. It wasn't worth it given the taste

Extremely delicious noodles. I'm bidding for Wen Cheng 4 in Potsdam!

Got some noodles on the side of my coriander. Think they need to pull their noodles more aswell.

There's always a long wait so it's hard to wait, but it's delicious. The amount may seem small, but you will feel full after eating it. I also really like that I can pay at the checkout counter after eating without having to wait.

Very good hand-pulled noodles that are really nice (as cheesy as is preferred by Asian chefs). The sharpness is really sharp, so be careful what level you want to use 😜 The selection of vegan variants and vegan side dishes is great. I also like card payment only.

I had dinner at this restaurant after work and was very tired. I didn't notice the "No Cash Payment" signs posted everywhere. When I paid, the waiter kindly informed me about this. He was very understanding and I apologized, explaining that I had a problem with my card and could only pay in cash. He then got another colleague to help. But the attitude of this other colleague, a taller man with blonde hair, was terrible. He coldly pointed to the “No Cash Payment” sign as if to accuse me. Is it the policy of this restaurant to blame customers instead of helping them in a friendly manner? Customers are people too and deserve basic respect. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Especially when it's such a small problem. Only gods don't make mistakes. I feel bad for that rude waiter—he doesn't understand the most basic respect between people. No matter how good the food is, because of this unfriendly experience I will not return nor will I recommend it to my friends. To be honest, food is great. I had dinner at this restaurant after a long day at work, and I was very tired. I didn't notice the "No Cash" signs posted everywhere. When it was time to pay, the server kindly informed me about this. He was very understanding, and I apologized, explaining that I had an issue with my card and could only pay in cash. He went to call another colleague to assist. However, the attitude of this other colleague, a taller man with blonde hair, was terrible. He coldly pointed to the "No Cash" sign as if blaming me. Is blaming customers, instead of helping them, part of this restaurant’s values ​​and culture? Did I owe him something? 😂🤣Customers are people too, and they deserve basic respect. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Especially when it’s such a minor issue. Only gods don't make mistakes. I feel sorry for that rude server—he doesn’t understand the basic respect that should exist between people. No matter how good the food might be, I won’t be returning because of this unpleasant experience, and I certainly won’t recommend this place to my friends.

Been here twice so far and will definitely be back- great food, great service. Love the spicy vegan biang mian option with aubergine and minced “meat”.

The portions are quite large and satisfying. The staff is attentive and kind. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, our food arrived after a short time. I was surprised at this price. I can call it a price-performance meal. I can't wait to try a different meal next time.

Very tasty, small selection on the menu, the burger was very special and really good.

I have often seen queues in front of the restaurant and that made me curious. I went in with high expectations and was unfortunately disappointed. It was ok, but I wouldn't come back.

Delicious food! Very carefully made pasta, perfectly intense flavor. You can melt away. The service and speed of order preparation also deserve additional praise. I definitely recommend it!

I had some noodle soup delivered through delivery, and at first it was a bit salty, so I thought... After a few days, I remembered it again and I really wanted chewy noodles and eggplant soaked in sauce, so I ordered it again! It was so spicy that I could drink bitter milk at level 3, and level 2 was just very, very slightly spicy. I wish there was step 2.5.

This place made me feel young again! The bang bang noodles really pack a punch! My wife Iliana wanted to come here because she’s seen so many of her favorite Instagram influencers frequent this place, I think we even saw one sitting here a few tables away from us! Iliana was too nervous to go and talk to him. I tried to tell her it was fine, he looked nice enough! I even considered going up to him on her behalf when she was using the washroom. But then I remembered that I did something similar a few years ago when we were in Krakow visiting her cousins. We were at an Asian fusion restaurant when she spotted Joanna Krupa. Again, same story, she went to the washroom and I (encouraged by two mediocre martinis) introduced myself and said my wife was a fan. When Iliana came back she was so mortally embarrassed she left the restaurant without my knowledge — and worse yet, because I wanted to introduce her when she came back to the table, I kept trying to keep the conversation going until Joanna got the restaurant manager involved. He escorted me out. So anyway, that’s what I was thinking about sitting at Wen Cheng 2.

This place satisfies that spicy craving - rare to find in Berlin! Noodles have been super consistent. More of a quick bite place.

An incredible find in Mitte. This Chinese restaurant surprised us with its bao sandwich, with soft bread and a delicious filling, and its handmade noodles with spicy beef, which had the perfect balance between flavor and texture. You can notice the quality and freshness of the ingredients in every bite. The atmosphere is modern and cozy, ideal for enjoying an authentic meal in the center of Berlin. The service was fast and friendly. Definitely a place to return to and continue exploring their menu!

Not good service, we ordered 5 min. before kitchen close but stuff was not happy to see us :(

Only the prices led to 4 stars, otherwise it is one of the most delicious dishes (biang biang beef) addictive!

delicious noodles, don't get them too spicy if you don't want to die

good food but you should get here before opening time or bring time to wait

I liked it and would come back. Things to improve: - very spicy should be more spicy. I ordered extra extra spicy but I didn't find it super numbing and spicy. - beef should be cooked in a more spiced broth. The beef is quite mild and there is a lot of it - more noodles, less beef. The ratio is off. - more consistent noodles. The noodles have been occasionally made too thin and because they cook uneven, they were a bit mushy

I wanted to come here for a while, but there is always a bit of a waiting time. This time queue was not that long (under 10 minutes) and was finally able to taste these noodles. I had the mushroom tofu Biang Biang, regular spicy and the taste was incredible. Loved the flavour of the marinated tofu and the sauce. Will try more spicy next time.

idc what anyone else says it’s worth the hype to me. i got the biang biang beef and it was sooo good, very garlicy, just the right amount of spice and the beef was really tender. they have great service and the line moves pretty quickly. def worth a visit

Food was okey. Nothing out of the ordinary. Price a bit too high. The chicken bao was absolutely great.

I went for dinner a couple of years ago and I loved it. All great, recommended. I bought several merchandising t-shirts that they had, does anyone know if they still sell these t-shirts?

Extremely packed, I just don't really understand why. I ordered the category that was described as "less oily", but it was all swimming in oil. The broth was still good (just way too heavy) but the noodles were sticking together as if they had been cooked in too little water or a pot that was too small. It's not a cozy setting inside so you won't want to stay there for long, meanwhile for the seats outside you'll easily wait for an hour. It's not bad, but I would not come back.

One of our absolute favorite places ,we come back always happy from there .

The taste of the food was good, unfortunately the noodles were sticky

The Good was soooo Good! If you Like it spicy and flavored- this is your Place! One Service guy was rude but one of them very nice. Maybe we have all a bad day - right?

Nice with few choices but good quality and very tasty

The dish tasted average Price . You have to be careful because they add additional fees and inflate the bill. I don't recommend it

Got recommended this by a few friends - my first time trying biang biang noodles. Noodles were too thick for my liking but beef was very tender. The chilli oil is fragrant but I think can be spicier. The default spice level is Level 1. I ordered Level 2 but it was barely spicy so I recommend to just do Level 3. There was a long queue when we arrived but the dining space is big so we didn't wait long.

unfortunately , your food did not sit well with us :( it was firstly too oily, and the taste was very basic. Loved the service though, restaurant people were kind and nice but food... NO :(

Thank you for the friendly service. The food was found to be extremely tasty. 😋 😋😋😋😋....

A friend recommended it, so I went there too. I was recommended the eggplant topped dumpling soup, so I ordered it! The quantity is plentiful and I recommend it. I went alone on a rainy day, and I was grateful that the white, blond male employee was friendly and looked after my luggage for a moment. All the employees are nice too. 👍

Beef that was kept warm and completely overcooked at least reminded me of my mom's goulash, and the taste was the same, although spicier. No Asian staff seems bizarre in an Asian restaurant... For pre-cooked food kept warm (preparation time approx. 2 minutes!) 17,- is too much...

Very tasty! Good service + nice interior.

Great food great service unfortunately yet another place doing card games only payments. Not accepting cash is lining bankers pockets and killing us all.

Super tasty and super fast service, the only downside is the seating, it's stuffy inside, uncomfortable outside

Today I ate there on the recommendation of a very good friend. Considering I only like Asian food to a limited extent, it was really good. The noodle. They were very tasty, as was the sauce. The really successful tender tofu was also great. Since I unfortunately don't like coriander, it was the only thing in the dish that bothered me. If I wanted to, I could at least forego the shitake mushrooms. The service as well as the food and drinks at the table were more than quick.

The food was delicious and expensive. We both had stomach pains after eating 😐 Both at the same time

Best noodles in town. Must try.

Really delicious food - especially their spicy noodles with beef 😋🇩🇪💪🏼

Yes Yes Yes!! Delicious food, nice place, great service! I recommend !!!

Best noodles in town, quickly served and simply delicious!!

Super tasty noodles that are addictive

Quite yummy! Medium spicy is not really spicy :)

My favourite noodle restaurant in Berlin. Simply amazing

the food was very good, however be aware that it is a bit spicy. there was a queue outside just so you can prepare.

Might need to spare some time to queue during busy hours. Overall, a great noodle place. And they are not lying about the asian spiciness level!

Very good food and something different. It's best not to wear white clothing, as something will splatter when you eat.

Very tasty handpulled noodles :) had very tender beef and delicious lamb with coriander. We will be back!

In the past I went to Wencheng and everything was okay. But yesterday the most horrible thing just happened. I had GLASS in my noodles !!!!! When I told the waitress she was not even schooled or showed some empathy and no apologize. And she really asked me if I want to still eat it and has looked at me as she does not believe me that this happened. In the end we became a discount for the drinks and the side dishes. But also just a little apologize and that they’re sorry for the inconvenience.. That’s no inconvenience… I was really lucky that I did not swallow the glass!! That was the last time I went to Wencheng. Luckily there are so many other good hand pulled noodle restaurants in Berlin.
