Lon Men's Noodle House

Curiosity got the better of us and we stopped by an Asian restaurant (Taiwanese) to be exact to try how Taiwanese food was interpreted in Germany.

The proprietor is a boss-looking Taiwanese guy who speaks Chinese, English, German and presumably more.

Food was served hot and fast -- we got dim sum, hot oil wontons, crispy duck noodle soup and some tea. Dim sum and wontons were honestly nothing special (the shrimp dumplings had chicken filling combined with the shrimp, which was a big miss in my opinion) but the crispy duck was quite tasty and definitely the highlight of the meal. It's clear that they've had to make modifications to accommodate the mostly German clientele that they serve. Hence, not the most authentic of places but pretty good food nonetheless.

If I wanted to try Asian food in Berlin again, I'd probably go to Goji or maybe one of the handpulled noodle restaurants.

Dined at this joint while I was travelling through Berlin. Authentic Taiwanese cuisine.

Shao lung bao is a bit small and not juicy and the minced nest with noodle is super spicy.
The food is okay.

I walked by and there was a line so I got in it. Ordered the dim sum sample which is cool-I've never seen a dim sum sampler. Then got a small beef noodle soup. It's all ok, nothing great. If you're feasting for Chinese food this will do though I wouldn't wait in line for this.

This hole-in-the-wall is a beloved part of the restaurant scene in Berlin, if the long lines (pre-Covid) I've waited in are anything to go by. (I once saw a person pick up their food and promptly enter the apartment building right next door, and envy him for having this place as a neighbor.)

I literally stumbled upon Lon Men's for the first time when I was staying at a hotel a few blocks away on Uhlandstraße and made the quick decision to grab an early lunch there. (Pro tip when life returns to normal: this place gets crowded for lunch or dinner, so swing by during the off-peak hours if you're eating in.)

Frigid Berlin winter or not, anything Lon Men's serves up will warm your heart right up. The first time I ate in, I was left in such a cozy food coma that I accidentally left my bag behind... only for the server to quickly rush out to return it to me just mere seconds after I walked out the door. How's that for friendly and attentive service, like previous Yelp reviews have mentioned?

And yes, as a SF native living in Berlin, sometimes I did crave comfort food other than döner... the sautéd duck with noodles and vegetable hit the spot for those moments of homesickness.

Try the wantan w/ chili oil. They are indeed great.
Extremely friendly and attentive service, tasty food, and a good location. Perfect spot for a light and relaxed dinner.

All right. This place does make some good beef noodle soup but I've had better in the SF Chinatown. However, the service is quick although there are always lines out the door.

It's great for groups or going there alone or to grab a box of dimsums to go. they have other chinese dishes that are freshly made on the spot, but obviously you have to try the noodle soups and the homemade dumplings.

I read quite alot good review about this place before I actually got here. Although the Noodle House is facing the main steet, my partner and I did drove pass it. And have to check the house number to find the place. The shop is actually not so big. so better keep your eyes on their shop sign or the house number, if you on the way.

I have been looking forward to pay a visit for quite a long time, until recently finally got the chance for this. So as soon as we sat down, we were just looking for something nice from the meun. Of course, I ordered noodle soups with beef and fried noodle with beed as well. The soup one I think was alright. Probably, because I knew some other great noodle soup places. I really like the Fired noodle, it tasted very fine and delicated. Also we order XiaoLong Dao as side dish. it tasted good as well, but the potion was just small for us.

This place isn't self-service. It took a small while the staff came to us. The price of the place is great.

I have to say, after hearing all the hype about this place, I expected more. Having grown up in Taiwan and then lived in LA, I don't think the food here is up to par. It does feel very homey...to the point where I'm thinking Ok I can just make this at home.

The food was not bad, but objectively not that good either. However, in the context of it being in Berlin and there not being so many Taiwanese options, I support checking this place out if you've never had Taiwanese food.

This place is tasty and affordable! Every-time I've gone, it's been packed. It's authentic dim sum and my server was attentive. The times I've went I spent around 8-15 euros on my entire meal, and I tend to order a lot!
