Lemme just say: I was absolutely DELIGHTED to see a' AYCE Hot Pot location…read more I had spent 2 months in Heidelberg, and I was seriously homesick for some good hotpot. This place turned out to be a mere 5 minutes walk from my hostel when my friend and I had stayed a night in Frankfurt. It's super close to the Hauptbahnhof (like, basically in front of it). When I went in, I asked the lady for a table for two at the counter and she instantly handed me the drinks menu. I thought that that was strange, but I ordered a drink for my friend and I and she went on to make the drinks without seating us. Unsure of what to do, I sat us down ourselves, waiting for someone to come over and ask us what kind of soup we wanted for our hotpot. I waited about 10 minutes before finally just asking someone. They were very nice about it (probably partly because I spoke Chinese), but it did take quite a while and there was no real service. Also, the cost of the AYCE is kinda deceitful. It says on the menu that it costs €16 for the AYCE hotpot without soup, and an extra €2 with soup. But what does that even mean?? How can you have hotpot without soup? It's only €2, but it's kinda the principle of the thing. Now about the food: it's pretty epic. There's a spot when you first walk in with dozens of different, authentic hotpot ingredients which you are allowed to take as much as you want (it is an AYCE!). It ranges from seaweed to fatty beef to dumplings to fish tofu and even pig brains. Seriously. Fantastic variety. There's also a station to make sauces with a dozen ingredients laid out for you. Their dessert selection is also great. There's a soft serve machine and really good éclairs. We both got our fill and left. Warning: they only take local banks or cash. Visas are not accepted. TL;DR: food was great. Service was pretty ehhhh. Definitely still worth a visit.

The shrimp paste was awesome and the variety of the buffet was great! Each person has their own little pot which can be filled with a soup of their choice. The buffet also has a little sauce station where you can mix up your own sauce. Staff coming regularly to clean up dirty and empty plates and walking around with a big kettle and asking to refill. The restaurant was filled with mostly Chinese people. That's how you know it's the real deal! Would definitely return again!

If you're craving Dim Sum, this is the place. It's small and not fancy, and appears clean…read more Easy to select choices via pictures and descriptions in English. The wait staff speaks little or no English, so you fill out your order on paper writing the amount of each dish. This is typical in most day dim sum restaurants that don't use carts. Each dim sum was excellent and a larger size than most similar restaurants I have eaten. The restaurant is around the corner just a few minutes from the Westin Frankfurt. Remember to bring cash.

Sorry!! forgive the fact that my picture is of food half eaten! I was exhausted after a long day and I just decided to eat in (minus the fact that there was a long wait and a small dining space) . Still jet lagged and starved I completely did not realize until I was 5 bites in - that the ShoMai was HUMONGOUS... and they were very good too. The shrimp dumplings, same deal... HUGE. Definitely on my come back list.

Menu is all about noodle soup. I had to try this place because of the plentiful good reviews on Yelp and I am sucker for Chinese food overseas. The broth is balanced, not too salty or thick. The noodles are perfectly chewy and the meat is on the small side but enough to appreciate with your noodles. There is a small helping of cilantro and onions, as well as a small portion of sauerkraut. Yes, I have had pickles on the side of noodle soup and in Germany, sauerkraut works well! One beef Noodle soup with a bottled water came out to be about USD 14.

Worth the return…read more This is a local dive similar to the one we discovered in Toronto: both places we saw after the meal and still decided to go in - I just can't say no to delicious dumplings. This one is near the main train station Hbf and sizable, compares to the Toronto's. It doesn't have a staff making dumping by the window. They serve the dumplings in a soup or broth. The dumplings are good - thick skin. They've cold drinks and few beers. The outdoor seating area is shared with another restaurant.

Oh yeah! This tiny…read moreplace is a short walk from a major indoor food market, and it's absolutely worth a try. We wandered in just looking for some simple ramen, and left with full bellies and eyebrows arched out of surprise. I had a simple chicken and rice bowl, and my friend had the vegetarian ramen. We were both skeptical about a vegetarian ramen, but WOW! I had to steal a few spoonfuls of the broth to pour over my rice, and it was a great decision. This was my first time having a chicken bowl and I never suspected such a small dish could have such a mighty impact on my palate. It's a simple chicken and rice bowl, with fantastically simple yet elevated flavors (great texture on the chicken). Absolutely put this place on your list the next time you're in the Altstadat area.

Place is small but food comes out fast…read more I arrived a minute before the place reopens (or so I think) in the afternoon (which is 5:30pm) and they were almost full. There were kind enough to put me at the bar. I got the Tonkotsu ramen with Chili oil and it was divine and bursting with flavor. Noodles were done perfectly and I had a marinated egg that was cooked to perfection. There was a line of people outside waiting when I was done. Really glad I came since I had a taste for Tonkotsu since Ichiran in NYC.

When my extraordinary generous hosts told me they were taking me to Chinese food in Frankfurt…read moreGermany I really wasn't sure what to expect. As a HK native I braced for something that was going to be heavily modified for a completely different palate. To my delight the food here was very faithful to its root flavors and was an excellent representation. The dim sum selection was delicious, I especially enjoyed the shrimp balls, egg roll, and seaweed roll. The stir fry dishes were very good as well and I think the brisket was notable stand out dish. At the end we had a nice hot custard pudding with tapioca pearls. The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated and furnished and the staff was so pleasant and friendly, they arranged a nice setting for our large group and we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The staff member who was our primary contact was even so kind as to give me some beer glasses to take home when she overheard me telling another diner about getting some as souvenirs. This is a wonderful little alcove of good Chinese cooking and friendly staff and I hope to visit again next time I am in Frankfurt.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience at Toh Thong in Frankfurt! I ordered the lamb curry and the…read moreTom Ka Gai soup, and both were outstanding. The flavors were rich, authentic, and beautifully balanced, with just the right combination of spices and it smells so good. This time they renovated with a fresh, updated atmosphere that really adds to the experience but it still has its charm of a secret gem Thai restaurant with great staff. It's a wonderful setting to relax and enjoy a great meal. The lamb curry was especially memorable, and the Tom Ka Gai was deliciously creamy, fragrant, and full of flavor. If you're in Frankfurt and looking for exceptional Thai cuisine in a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere, Toh Thong is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended, and I would absolutely return, this is on my must stop list whenever I visit from the States!

Since we are living in wiesbaden, I've already accepted the fact that there is no way we can get traditional Chinese food. Wannabe chinese food? Yep-- this place is decent and the price is definitely fair. They have all the major staple dishes that you'll see at a Chinese takeout place. The people who work there speak mandarin as they work, German to their customers, and some of them understand English. I was surprised with how clean everything was- the floors, ceilings, and the furniture look like they are new or in very good condition. It's not a hole in the wall place like you typically picture in Manhattan. I ordered the beef, chicken and veggie pan fried noodles because it's hard to mess that up. The portion was huge and could easily be split. My husband got some fried chicken with sweet and sour pineapple sauce. The fried chicken tasted good, but it was more of a Chicken Katsu rather than your traditional sweet and sour chicken pieces where each individual piece is deep fried in a thick batter. The sauce was more like a duck sauce with pineapple chunks in it. It didn't taste bad, but it just wasn't what we expected it to taste like... I still miss traditional shao long bao, oyster pancakes, and various dim sum dishes.... but one perk is that they have spring rolls here. Ohh and they have a green fanta drink here- it's exotic fruit flavor. It is definitely a mix between passion fruit and red bull. I kinda liked it. Ni Hao is probably better than any Panda Express back in the states, so I can see it being appealing for many people. So if i ever pass through again and I need to choose between the KFC, McDonald's, or Ni Hao. I would definitely be saying, "Ni Hao" to my peeps at Ni Hao!
