Small restaurant with big taste! If you are looking for authentic spicy Chinese food, this is the place! The restaurant is small and very clean and modern inside. The menu has options for nonspicy food but they also have lots of options (up to 5 peppers on their spicy scale) for spicy food! It can be hard to find actual spicy food in Germany, and this is one of the places that has it. We got the cucumber salad (2 peppers), Kung pao chicken (1 pepper), and something with glass noodles and pork (3 peppers). The cucumber salad was excellent. We even saved the leftover dressing to put on plain rice because it was so tasty. It had a nice spice but not too much. I took a bite of the chicken and didn't think it was spicy at all (but flavors were good!) But others at the table did say it was spicy the more you ate. The glass noodle dish, I didn't think was spicy so I added some peppers that were in the Kung pao chicken. The flavor was really delicious. Service was very quick, we didn't have to wait very long for our food. Service was also very polite and kind. Portions were perfect sized. Some vegetarian options available as well. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the restaurant and service, and will definitely be back!

I ordered fried pork with sweet and sour sauce. It looked a bit burnt but the taste wasn't affected much, also the portion was quite big and perfect for sharing if you have smaller stomach. The sauce was balanced and suited my palate well, more sour than sweet (as it should be). I really like the packaging with pork in the thermal bag. After about 45' it was still warm and crispy. Overall i give the dish 8.5/10:) i will gladly order it again. Hope it will be fried in the perfect amount of time next time. Thank you China Haus.

Authentic Chinese restaurant specialized in spicy food. I love their signature grilled fish, but it may not be so European friendly because it serves the whole fish with bones. Different from the usual Chinese restaurant, they charge for rice, but big portion with fair price. The restaurant is quite small and the place is always full, be prepared to sit in tight.

My new favorite spot in Frankfurt. Easily the best Chinese I’ve had here—spicy, flavorful, and just right. The chicken, lamb, and eggplant dishes are top-tier. Super menu, will be back!
