Soi 22 — Restaurant in Frankfurt

Truly a gem we needed in Frankfurt. I’ve been to Thailand multiple times, and my favorite Thai food is dry noodle (Dry tom yum is still my #1 though, but dry boat noodle is also really good). This is actually the closest to the dry boat noodle in Thailand I could find in Germany.

I’ve tried almost everything on their menu (incl Wagyu and Iberico) and I’ve been there so many times. I found out the best things you should try here.

Thai milk tea: the best in the world (I’ve tried so many in Thailand and Germany) Crispy wonton: the best I’ve ever had, so crispy, thin, fluffy, flavorful. eat this together with the noodle! Steamed spicy wonton: optional, but the prawn inside is still big and intact, and the best of it all is the sauce under it that you can eat with the noodle. eat this together with the noodle! Crispy pork fat: must, put it inside the noodle to add extra texture Dry boat noodle with sliced pork + pork balls, if you can eat pork: I like their pork much more than their beef. Order this with thin rice noodle and 0.5x spiciness (if you can eat little spicy). Add comment: extra soup separated, extra thai coriander, and extra german coriander (if you like coriander)

As I said, eat the appetizer together with the noodle. When the noodle arrives, add a bit of extra fish sauce, sugar, chili vinegar, and chili (if not spicy enough). Adjust it to your liking. Don’t forget to adjust the soup as well. The soup and the sauce in the dry noodle are too bland for my liking, even though it’s rich, hence I need to add extra seasonings.

With this configuration, I guarantee you will thank me later. Enjoy!!

PS: if the owner sees this, I hope you could launch a dry...

The food were ok. Aber the attitude was incredibly bad!!!

The waiters are very rude and RACIST, and they only trade ASIAN PEOLE like this. They are always friendly and polite to CAUCASIANS, for example, they actively ask the customers next to us (who are both Caucasian) many times how the food tastes and if they like the food. But they didn’t ask any one of us (we have two people and are all Asians) at all!!!

Also when we were waiting outside, there were two pair of customers, we and another pair of Caucasians, I and my boyfriend came first and the other pair came later. When Soi22 had sits inside, the waiter seems only wanted to ask and take the other Caucasians in the restaurant and totally ignored us. But the other pair of customers were very nice and friendly and they told the waiter we came first and let us got in the restaurant firstly.

Then, the waiter just gave us a paper of menu and a pen, WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION.

But later, there is another pair of Caucasians sit next to us, and the SAME WAITER ASKED THEM IF THEY ARE THE FIRST TIME IN THE RESTAURANT AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING ON THE MENU TO THEM.

But this is not the most unpleasant thing.

When we were about to pay, another waitress asked us to GO TO THE DRINK COUNTER to pay our bills. (We were the only customer who was asked to do this)

Her reason was: Hier ist zu eng. (Here is too narrow) I was about to laugh out when I heard this ridicules reason.

Shall I give you a little bit of advice?

Move away of this table if there is no space for your waiters and your Caucasian customers.

What? You ask me about other customers? Just don’t let them in next time, especially for ASIAN...

This isn’t mere hyperbole; it’s a testament to the restaurant’s audacious fusion of tradition and luxury. The boat noodles, a symphony of robust, aromatic broth simmered for hours, are elevated by melt-in-your-mouth A5 Wagyu—its marbling a buttery crescendo—and Iberico pork, rich from its acorn-fed heritage. Each spoonful balances fiery Thai spices with umami depth, a harmony that honors Bangkok’s street food roots while transcending them with premium artistry.
