HOMEMADE DRINKS – Ginger Mint & Ginger Pineapple Fizz
If you need refreshing sips to pair with your hearty noodles, we can recommend 2 house-made schorles (German-style sparkling fruit drinks). They’re zingy, sweet, and super revitalizing!
1. Ginger Mint Schorle
A crisp, cooling blend of freshly chopped ginger and mint, lightly sweetened with syrup—not cloying, but balanced.
The ginger adds a subtle warmth, while the mint leaves a clean, palate-cleansing finish. It feels both soothing and uplifting.
2. Ginger Pineapple Schorle
Tropical meets spicy in this drink! Juicy pineapple swirl with fiery ginger, creating a sweet-yet-punchy combo.
The ginger’s heat lingers, while the pineapple keeps things bright and fruity, its natural sweetness mellowing the ginger’s bite.
Spice Up Your Noodles with DELICIOUS SIDES
When you dive into steaming noodles, it’s common in Chinese and Japanese cuisine to pair them with small cold dishes (xiaocai or otsumami). These small, zesty sides are meant to cleanse the palate and add contrast to rich, carb-heavy mains.
At Slurp Nudelbar, their selection of sides is surprisingly broad, featuring some truly authentic Chinese plates.
红油鸡丝 (Hong You Ji Si) – A Spicy Chicken Salad.
Tender shredded chicken strips are juicy, silky, lightly sweet and savory. A splash of vinegar adds a refreshing, sour kick, while crunchy cucumber gives a fresh, crisp contrast.
The best part is the bold drizzle of Lao Gan Ma, China’s legendary chili sauce. It isn’t just about heat, but a smoky, nutty warmth from slow-infused oils, mingling with a subtle mala (numbing-spicy) buzz. Deep, funky fermented soybeans (Douchi) add a savory, almost meaty depth, while crispy fried garlic bits bring a toasty sweetness. It’s tangy, spicy, umami and addictive!
海带丝 – Seaweed/Wakame Salad
Wakame is a superfood, packed with iodine, calcium, and fucoxanthin, a natural compound that boosts metabolism and aids fat burning.
These slippery, ribbon-like seaweed strands have a delicate briny sweetness and an almost melt-in-your-mouth, silky-smooth texture.
They’re generously coated in fragrant sesame seeds and oil for a nutty depth. A crisp cucumber base provides a refreshing crunch, while the slippery wood ear mushroom strips and darker, Chinese-style kelp add an earthiness and chew.
Lightly spicy, tangy-sour, and subtly sweet, it’s a bright, umami-packed dish that brings both Japanese and Chinese refreshing, coastal flavors.
北川凉粉 (Beichuan Liangfen) – Sichuan’s Cooling Spicy Jelly Noodles
A gift from the house, this regional specialty from Sichuan province is a cold jelly noodle dish made from starch.
The mung bean starch jelly is soft yet snappy, with a silky-smooth surface and a gentle bounce, like a mix of tofu and glass noodles.
Served cold, it’s ultra-refreshing, especially when coated in fiery-tangy Sichuan-style dressing. It combines garlicky punch, vinegar’s bright zing, chili oil’s toasty burn, and hints of soy sauce and sesame for depth. On top, crunchy cilantro confetti adds an herbal, crisp contrast.

All bowls come with a soft-braised egg / fried egg and seasonal vegetables.
From those ingredients come endless combos—over 120 possible bowls! Here’s our top recommendation to kickstart your delicious experiment.
Soy-Braised Beef + Egg Noodles + Hong Shao Broth
The thick-cut beef brisket is a meaty bliss, slow-cooked until fork-tender with a right chew.
The rich, deep lu wei (卤味) flavor comes from a master stock simmered with soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon, and rock sugar—savory-sweet with whispers of spice. The soy marinade penetrates every fiber, leaving the meat glossy, fragrant, and intensely flavorful.
Springy, golden egg noodles have a slight chew, perfect for clinging to that luscious broth.
The hong shao broth, a Cantonese-style soy-based broth, is dark, velvety, and layered with umami. It’s deeply savory, with a meaty, almost caramel-like richness, where saltiness meets subtle sweetness, while warming spices – ginger, garlic, and five-spice – linger in the background.
A veggie boost of carrots, corn, pak choy, and broccoli adds freshness and crunch, balancing the richness.
Crispy Roast Duck + Rice Noodles + Clear Broth
This combo is where crunchy, silky, and savory unite in one bowl.
Crispy duck has a paper-thin, golden-brown lacquered skin that shatters audibly. Beneath the savory crust lies juicy, tender meat with a subtle five-spice sweetness.
Delicate, silk-thin rice noodles slurp up the broth without overpowering it—perfect for clean broth.
The white broth is deep yet light, simmered for hours with pork bones and chicken for natural umami richness. The collagen from slow cooking gives it a creamy mouthfeel. You’ll also notice a clean sweetness, with hints of ginger and scallion brightening the savoriness.
The crunchy veggies like pak choy & broccoli, sweet corn & carrots and bean sprouts add a refreshing, watery crunch.
Sweet Finale: Free Dessert!
At Slurp Nudelbar, every noodle order comes with a free dessert.
You’ll typically get a choice between ice cream or a tapioca pearl pudding (西米露).
We went with a refreshing vanilla ice cream – a plate of creamy vanilla base, zesty orange slice, mint, and whipped cream cloud.
It’s classic, smooth, rich, but not overly sweet.
Slurp Nudelbar isn’t just about noodles; their crispy fried chicken, fried pork belly, and various stir-fries are also crowd favorites. And if you’re dining in a group, the massive platters of grilled fish or grilled bullfrog are perfect for sharing among 3–4 people. A Chinese native says every time he visits Munich, he comes here almost daily.
Their other two branches are also popular – Baoz! Bar and Slurp Nudelbar (面太郎), where you can find fiery Sichuan classics like boiled fish (水煮鱼), spicy beef (水煮牛肉), and mapo tofu (麻婆豆腐), served with steaming rice.
With big portions, wallet-friendly prices, speedy, no-fuss service, and diverse options, Slurp Nudelbar has nailed the title of “Canteen King” among local Chinese community, catering to everyone who cares about consistent, real-deal flavors.
It’s recommended to make a reservation. If you go around 3 or 4 PM in the afternoon, you can avoid the peak hours and there won’t be many people. If you go in the evening without calling ahead to reserve, you’ll usually have to wait a while since the place is often fully packed and there are many people waiting in line.
Great restaurant:) A bowl of noodles at lunch time costs around €11. For an extra €4.50, you can make it a set meal with a drink and spring rolls.
I’ve been there so many times. The duck is really the best choice.
If you’re in the area, Slurp at Leopoldstrasse 41 (80802) is worth a visit. The space is bright and modern, with an open kitchen. Street parking is available nearby 🅿️.
They serve a fantastic clay pot soup that’s rich and comforting, and their selection of dim sum is also really tasty!
I’ve tried the boiled beef Shui Zhu Niu Rou, stir-fried pork Xiao Chao Rou, and seasonal veggies at this restaurant. Rice was included, and they also gave us the liangfen and ice cream for free 🍨. The food came out really fast. Sure, the flavors aren’t quite the same as in China, but for Chinese food abroad, this place isn’t bad at all!
The salted egg yolk prawns are hands-down the best dish!
I often come to this restaurant for their baozi. They really feel homemade, not the frozen kind you get from Asian supermarkets. The xiaolongbao are juicy, unlike any of the supermarket ones I’ve tried, which never have juice inside. The pork buns have a good ratio of filling to dough, and they include water chestnuts, which add a nice crunch. Out of everything, I like these the most. The pan-fried buns have a similar filling to the xiaolongbao, if only the bottoms were a bit crispier, they’d be perfect.
They may have started out with noodles, but the noodles aren’t the best thing on the menu. You should try their stir-fried dishes and dim sum; both are really good.
Absolutely love their dry pot dish. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had it. It’s just over 30 euros, and honestly, it’s a bit too much for two people, cus the portion is huge. The main ingredients are pork ribs, with squid, bullfrog, and large shrimp also included. There are also some vegetables like bean sprouts.
On top of that, you can choose three more ingredients to add for free. The fish tofu and regular tofu are amazing. I always get them. The sauce is so good, it would make even the sole of a shoe taste delicious.
I’ve tried the noodles and barbecue at this place, but they were pretty average.
I come here often and have tried their grilled fish, noodles, and rice bowl dishes. I saw some comments mentioning that this place offers a big seafood platter — just to clarify, it doesn’t.
They do have dry pot bullfrog, and it really is dry.
The frog meat is a bit tough. For sides, I usually add tofu skin, fish tofu, wood ear mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. The fish tofu and shiitakes are tasty. As always, they give a complimentary scoop of ice cream
Overall, the dry pot dishes here are just okay. I’ve had better dry pot at Malatang. But if you really like bullfrog, it’s still worth a try. And if you can’t handle spicy food, don’t worry, the regular spice level isn’t spicy at all.
That crispy roast duck did not disappoint! The skin was truly crispy and soaked up all the delicious sauce, not greasy, not soggy at all! Boneless and all duck meat. Absolutely loved it!
I have a feeling the soup base might be a bit salty, since it’s said that German tastes tend to lean toward the salty side. But if it feels too salty, you can ask the kitchen to adjust it. I also really love the roast duck noodles 🙂
Their grilled fish is honestly the best in Munich! There were four of us, and the portion was just right. Plus, you can choose a few sides yourself.
A really great noodle place, around €20 per person including a drink. If you like spicy food, try the douban (spicy bean paste) soup base with beef, it’s got a real kick!
This restaurant offers large seafood platters, grilled fish, and big bullfrog dishes, all highly recommended. Rice is included for free, and the side dishes are generous. Totally enough for two people. The value for money is incredible.
It’s said that the owner of this restaurant has opened eight Chinese restaurants in Munich, impressive!
The grilled fish is highly recommended! Like you mentioned, they serve a chilled jelly appetizer before the meal and offer ice cream afterward for free.
If the rice isn’t enough, you can also get free refills, and you can add noodles to the grilled fish pot at no extra cost.
The grilled fish portion is absolutely massive. I couldn’t finish it in one sitting and ended up taking the leftovers home, which lasted me another two days.
You should definitely try their branch at Leopoldstr. 41 — a great selection of stir-fried dishes!
