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!

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.

Excellent ramen and services here at Muku. My husband and I actually first heard about this place…read moreat Ramen Museum in Japan where their ramen was one of the handful ramen restaurant showcased at the museum (yes, you can actually eat there!). We had an overnight layover in Frankfurt and decided to visit for dinner. We were not disappointed! I ordered Miso Ramen, which was made with pasta dough. Apparently, they had experimented with making noodles using locally-available ingredients. What an idea. This might have made the noodles more substantial and made me full quicker but it tasted great! Broth was thicker side but complimented the thicker noodles well. An order of miso ramen was very generous in quantity. We also enjoyed plum wine and citrus (yuzu) sake. They were both really yummy!

Visiting one of my favorites again. Service is great. Food is Oishii! Try the Ramen obviously.read more

Not exactly the typical vermicelli noodle I was expecting in the soup (it was more like fettuccini pasta). I asked for Hoi Sin sauce, but the owner said they don't have that sauce. What? As you can tell, this is not the place if you are expecting true Pho noodle soup. But, the soup hit the spot.

The restaurant is small and only has standing bars inside, but I was lucky enough to visit on a beautiful day and got to take advantage of the outdoor seating and a table (note: there are only two tables outside! Plenty of chairs, though). If you are looking for something fancy, this isn't the place. If you are looking for a delicious and hearty soup - this is it! Though the menu is in German, the lady working there showed me each of the soups and told me what they were in English. She was so nice and helpful!! They had 3 vegetarian and 3 meat soups. I opted for a broth based curry chicken with vegetables like carrot and cauliflower. It was lightly spicy- as someone who is is very sensitive to spice, it was the perfect amount of heat! The flavors were spot on and it was just hearty enough to be a filling lunch without weighing me down for the day.
