I have been looking for a long time for a place in Barcelona where I can eat handmade pasta. I was very happy when I found Maji Beef Noodle. In addition, I was encouraged by posts on social media. The reality turned out to be different. First of all, noodleman is a sham. One will not experience this beautiful form of noodle preparation. Secondly, the food is - let me emphasize in my opinion - terrible. It is simply uneatable. The only thing that can taste good is the classic seaweed and kimchi salad. Then I ordered pancakes with chives and egg. egg and yes there was. Nevertheless, I did not experience the chives. the pancake was dry and served without any accompaniment in the form of sauce. Next, we ordered fried veggie dumplings and got meat dumplings. Probably because we advertised them instead of 6 we got 4.... they were not good either. They were bland. On the other hand, the absolute mistake was the noodles. Of the four vegetarian/vegan options, two were available - ramen as soup and ramen as noodles on .... cold. So I asked for it to be served hot because I didn't particularly fancy cold noodles. What I was brought was a mistake. First of all - cold, and secondly it was the noodles themselves topped with something that was supposed to resemble peanut-soy sauce. The amount of vegetables that was put on this noodles more or less was about 1 tablespoon. A little carrot, a little something. It was impossible to eat it. The waitress, seeing my dissatisfaction, wordlessly deducted the item from the bill herself. The appearance of the pasta - I attach in the photo. I do not recommend. I will not return. No and once again no. I write this with pain in my heart, because I really very rarely write negative reviews, but I feel obliged to warn others who will be hoping for a great experience and...

What I really like about this Chinese ramen noodle restaurant, however, is the thoughtfulness being put behind the operations. There are both Spanish and Mandarin descriptions, the Uber Eats listing looks professional, and very straightforward to order and collect.
Would have loved for them to find packing solutions that don't drip as much during transport though, as the beef noodles soup ended up leaking from the packaging upon arrival. The taping around the edges, didn't help.
For 20 EUR, honestly there's nothing much to complain about, especially if you consider it a palette change vs the many...
Read moreThe food was ok. Their beef soup noodle was tasty especially the way beef was prepeared (well done !)
However the service can be improved for the better. The waiter (a Philiphino guy) immediately turned me away when I simply asked him a question on menu in Chinese. He told me he can not serve me but his boss who is a Chinese because he does not speak Chinese. The waitress acted inpatiently and cold toward us yet laughing and chitchatting with two white ladies. Her attitudes changed dramatically when seeing us Asian customer. If you only prefer and happy to serve white, please post a sign and say so. We can stay away and do not need your cold and rude attitude. Not returning for sure. We come to eat, not being...
