Blue Monkey‘s by nam in Hilden

The food is delicious. Anyone who goes here should bring plenty of time and patience. It takes a very long time for the food to arrive at the table.

A very good restaurant. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect. It was our first time there. We live in the Sauerland region. The food came quickly. The drinks were also excellent. It wasn't our last time there.

Beautiful and harmonious shop, with its own style! Blue is definitely the theme, but it fits perfectly! The food is excellent! Service is perfectly timed! Chilling music is there!

The staffs were the best. Food was good

Sensational. Beautiful ambiance, fresh, beautifully presented food, top quality and taste. Definitely back! Highly recommended!

We waited 1.5 hours for our food. The rice paper on my summer rolls was already hard, and some of the rest of the food was cold. For the price, I expect more.

Waiting for our food for 2 hours now

I waited over an hour for my food, which didn't exceed the quality of a snack bar. It was poorly presented and had probably been waiting for a while. Service was nice but completely unprofessional; I wasn't even asked if I wanted anything else to drink or if my food was okay. Guests who arrived after me were served before me. Absolutely incomprehensible value for money. There's probably no competition, as I wonder how a place like this survives. Too bad

I was never a sushi fan. But I came here anyway and was more than pleasantly surprised! The sushi was truly delicious! What was especially important to me: all additives, from MSG to dairy products to allergens, etc., are completely transparently displayed on the menu. The vegetables were really fresh, the flavor was very good, and it's possible to eat a lot here without consuming tons of fat (which I hate in restaurants), so you leave feeling full but comfortable. Excellent👌

The service was very slow, both for the food and for paying the bill. When I went to ask why the delay was... they were quite rude in their response, which was quite stressful at the time. In short, an experience I won't repeat.

The food was very good and the restaurant is nicely decorated.

June 2025 Today, we got a table in the right-hand area of ​​the restaurant by reservation. Much more pleasant, quieter, and the guests were better spaced out - the ambience rating has now risen to 5 stars instead of 3 - we felt very comfortable. Excellent food, great sushi, mochi beautifully presented, and the service impeccable. We would be happy to come back. April 2025 Extensive menu with Asian dishes. We ordered sushi and were delighted; everything was delicious. Service very friendly and attentive. You should reserve a table in advance. The ambiance isn't typically Asian, which didn't bother us. However, it would be nice if the guests were better spaced out. Around 6 p.m., the left-hand area of ​​the restaurant was almost completely full and correspondingly loud, while the right-hand area was almost completely empty. It's hard for guests to understand why they weren't seated at a quieter table. There are parking spaces next door in the Aldi parking lot (at least on Sundays; I can't comment on weekdays).

Our go-to Asian restaurant when we are passing through

The restaurant is located in an old pub (a bit confusing at first), but the selection and the food are delicious. There are plenty of vegan options. And I think the price-performance ratio is reasonable, too. I paid €20.30 for a vegan party with homemade silken tofu and a large Coke Zero. The service was good, too. I'd be happy to come back.

The food was very good 👍. The employees are very friendly

Blue Monkeys new on Walderstraße in Hilden. We were greeted by a still empty restaurant (it was shortly after opening) with a great ambience. We were welcomed very friendly. As a starter we had mango soup, which was really delicious. I had crispy chicken sushi. 8 small bites. The mustard was very spicy and not to my taste. You won't get full either, but it's still OK for €11. Then there would have to be a dessert. Warm Bwronie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for 7.90. You can argue about the price. But overall everything was very tasty. We will definitely come back again.

After several visits my opinion has not changed: I prefer to go to the old Nam in Hilden, as the service here is more attentive and not so forgetful. And since the food there isn't presented as elaborately, the taste is at least as good, but the price is much lower. In addition, I don't like the atmosphere in the Blue Monkey that much.

We were there today and it was very good. No matter whether it was sushi, Asian dishes or steak with fries - it was really great. We'd love to come back. Good luck for continued success!

Spent a pleasant evening there with very good food. Staff friendly and accommodating.

The food was excellent - beautifully presented and super tasty! To my surprise, there was also light beer on tap which wasn't on the menu! The service always had a smile on its face, was friendly and was always at the table quickly when needed. Toilets clean and well maintained! Happy to come back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely five stars 👍 Currently one of the best locations in Hilden and the surrounding area! Food 🥘 🍱 - really very good steaks 🥩 - Sushi also very tasty Drinks 🍹 🍸 - good selection of cocktails 👍 - Non-alcoholic cocktails are also really good. But with a lot of ice cream 🫤 Service: - fast and friendly On weekends it is better to reserve a table on the main sites.

Nice restaurant in the east of Hilden, menu with a slightly Asian touch, large selection of drinks, very friendly service, enough parking spaces (Aldi)

very tasty...especially the sushi!

The ambience is very nice and the background noise is also okay. The food was excellent! Therefore 3 stars for the chef! Only the service ruins everything! First we waited 30 minutes until we were asked for drinks. Then another 25 minutes until we could place our order. It took 60 minutes until it finally came. We wanted to order drinks again, but were ignored for a full hour. Despite repeated requests! Until my husband walked up to the counter. When we wanted to go home, they finally came with the bill. The main thing was that we should leave quickly so that the waiters could have peace and quiet. A little tip to the boss: Hire more staff and train friendliness!

Saturday we were there at 7:00 p.m., we had our food at 8:45 p.m....

Very tasty dinner here today with a larger group. The staff was friendly and tried hard. I'd love to come back!

Super tasty, nice location after moving,

We enjoy coming and appreciate the fresh preparation and the relaxed atmosphere. ....I wrote that 3 years ago.... Today was very disappointing. In total our visit lasted 2.5 hours. There is a waiting time of 1 hour and 20 minutes between the starter and the main course. Just too long. We each got paid for a drink, but the mood was in the basement. Many orders were sold and picked up outside the home and that gives the impression that the kitchen is not keeping up, to the dismay of the local customers. A reason for us not to come back. In addition, the atmosphere suffered greatly due to the move. No longer Asian design, but rather an outdated brewery flair with blue walls. Very, very sad!!!

Spatially a spacious location but not like the usual Asian dining temples. Service was also very attentive. The food tasted impeccably and there was something for everyone. We left the restaurant completely satisfied... we'll be back... we were there again and the quality of service and food remains high.

We ate there for the first time yesterday. The quality was very tasty, the quantity was absolutely sufficient, the waiting time was also reasonable due to the many guests, I discovered a new favorite restaurant where you can dine at a great price/performance ratio. Empty plates and happy faces say it all...

The two of us were there yesterday. We are regular sushi eaters, so we can judge the quality and appearance. Price performance is not right at all. The furnishings don't fit and are old (probably taken over from the previous steakhouse). The original shop in Hilden is worlds better and so is the food. The sushi was carelessly placed on the plate, no decoration, nothing... Quality was delivery service level. Two people, no dessert, three drinks, €77... An hour and a half and then we had to leave (because it was just uncomfortable).

Hello everyone, You immediately feel at home in this restaurant, very nice staff, nice atmosphere and of course the food is excellent. I'd love to come back

Very friendly staff. The food is great and delicious.

There is really delicious Thai cuisine here. The portions are definitely large, you won't leave here hungry! The service was okay so far. However, I would highly recommend always calling and making a reservation as Blue Monkey's is very busy even during the week!

We went there for the first time today and thought it was great. We cannot confirm the long waiting times that are often criticized. We all enjoyed the drinks (some of them homemade), starters, main courses and desserts. In my opinion, only the baked vanilla ice cream was already prepared and would have tasted much better freshly baked. It was frozen very hard on the inside, I've had better food elsewhere. But that's complaining at a high level, because otherwise everything tasted really, really good. All service staff were attentive, friendly and very personable. We'll definitely be back!

Interesting menu choice. There are also fries for children or those who don't like rice/noodle side dishes 😁

We went to dinner with a group of 12 people, the service worked great without long waiting times and everyone was enthusiastic about the food. All in all a successful evening. We'll be back :-)

Everything was great, I can only recommend it

Very tasty food with a good selection of cocktails.

Went here for dinner with the family for the first time today. I absolutely loved it and I would come here again and again. Super friendly staff, very accommodating, highly recommended. Three generations sat at the table and everyone was very satisfied.

Great restaurant if you want to eat Asian food. For Hilden, even the best for me. A woman who worked as a waitress was super funny and friendly, it just made for a lovely evening. Definitely again ❤️

Everything was perfect all around. Great mix of Asian and German cuisine.

Very good service, good advice and very, very tasty food.

We celebrated a company event there. The planning in advance was great and the evening was fantastic! Food was super tasty and service was impeccable.

Very good restaurant, unfortunately there is not much parking available. Were there on December 26th, 2024 with 3 people. The food was very good and the price was very good. Fresh food good drinks prices. I can't understand the criticism that the food takes a long time. 3 people and we waited about 25 minutes. Everything was great again

have been there a few times. The food is great - Asian with a European twist. All in all very tasty. The ambience is very stylish and cozy, but it is quite loud when it is full and you are sitting awkwardly. I had heard from friends that you sometimes have to wait a long time for service, but we hadn't experienced that before - so I have nothing to complain about. Overall, clear recommendation.

Great value for money! The sushi was amazing! We'll be back!

Love the food, cocktails, and the atmosphere here. The staff is friendly and it’s also possible to get your dishes customised.

The service was completely overwhelmed, the waiting time was too long and uncoordinated. Suddenly 2 beers arrive instead of 1 after a long wait. Staff friendly, but couldn't keep up Food was okay, but not outstanding. There are better Asians in Hilden! Unfortunately we won't be coming back. Price performance is not appropriate There were 12 of us and many of us were not happy.

My family and I used to enjoy going to Blue Monkeys in Hilden, but after our last visit we are just disappointed. The service was an absolute disaster! Waiters constantly walked past us, empty glasses were ignored, and we had to actively shout to even order drinks. The worst thing: After waiting for over an hour, we didn't even have the starter on the table - while three tables that came after us had been served their food a long time ago! We asked twice where our food was, but there was no explanation or apology. When we finally decided to leave and communicated this to the front, there was not even an attempt to salvage the situation or apologize. No nice gesture, nothing. Such poor service is simply unacceptable - especially considering that things used to be much better here. This was definitely the last visit to Blue Monkeys for us. It's a real shame what happened to it!

The food was very tasty and a large portion. The price is a bit high but still perfectly fine. We'll be back.

Review: Blue Monkey Restaurant, Heden (Weiderstraße) The Blue Monkey Restaurant in Hilden impresses at first glance with its inviting ambience and a varied menu. Both the sushi and the pasta dishes were excellent and demonstrated high quality and attention to detail. The drinks were served quickly and correctly, as were the meals - a clear plus point for the service. Unfortunately, the process towards the end of the evening marred the otherwise positive experience. Unfortunately, in the last few hours before closing time, we were forgotten in our corner, which detracted from the previously very attentive service. Only when we paid did the waitress seem to be interested in us again. This leads to a star deduction, but the Blue Monkey remains a clear recommendation. For fans of sushi and Asian cuisine, this restaurant on Walder Straße in Hilden is definitely worth a visit. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Asian restaurant with good cuisine. Friendly staff, very tasty food, good selection

Great service Great location Delicious food Moderate prices

Ambiance was nice Service friendly Food was good but not a highlight

Delicious cuisine, some of the dishes are offered with a choice of tofu, poultry or meat. They are very tasty prepared

A very good evening, the welcome, the food and the service, everything was great! In new surroundings, once again had a very good meal and had a nice evening!

Very slow and unprofessional service.

Even in the new premises, nothing has changed in terms of service or the quality of the sushi. The staff is friendly, motivated and jokes. And the sushi is simply the best sushi in Hilden and the surrounding area 🍣🍱 And by the way, you can now park better too 😊

Unfortunately the atmosphere is more like a train station waiting area... The chef knows his business. There were four of us, we had a sushi platter as a starter and four different main courses, everything was very good. Unfortunately, the service is also poor. Drinks are placed anywhere on the table, regardless of who ordered what. There are no serving cutlery. From ordering to starter 50 minutes...

My go-to restaurant! I go here at least 2-4 times a month, sometimes with all my friends. The food is great. There is a wide selection and “unusual” fusion cuisine. The staff is friendly and helpful. It doesn't matter whether you come with a large group or as a couple, and it doesn't matter whether you come with children or as students ;). The prices are really respectable for the large portions. The offer to have leftovers packed up is also very commendable! This way you don't waste any food. My personal favorites are: Yellow Thai Curry, Ramen Miso Soup, Sesame Chicken, Gyoza, Kimchi and the Baked Rolls :).

Very good food a la carte, friendly service, gladly again.

Excellent sushi of exceptional quality. Delicious, cozy and inexpensive. We come here regularly and have not had any negative experiences so far. See you next time.

Delicious food, friendly service - due to the size it sometimes takes a while, but the food makes up for the waiting time.

The food was delicious and the service was attentive and quick. The restaurant is very nice but a little too dark for my taste. I would recommend the restaurant without reservation!

Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed. It took a while for the first waiter to come to us to take the order. When we got our food we had already been waiting for an hour. The food was ok, a bit cold but you could eat it.

Delicious. We'd love to come back.😋

Favorite restaurant in all of Hilden

The food was delicious, it took a while to clear up, but the service was nice

I can only recommend it, very tasty and very nice ambience and nice staff who also respond to your wishes. Top

The service was very, very friendly. It took a while for the food to arrive but it was tasty 😋 the portions are good too. Unfortunately, the tables were already worn out because they were from the restaurant before. But I would still eat there more times!!

First of all, praise A great shop with a beautiful outdoor area The sushi we ordered 🍱 was very tasty. Next time just sushi. Now for reprimand Long waiting times for food can happen, but those who had to wait even longer were provided with free drinks at the neighboring table. But it's not possible to wait when paying. The Pad Thai dish was mediocre and had no taste and you couldn't taste the hot peppers. Silken tofu no better. Except my duck 🦆 was very good.

We mourn the loss of the bright, modern restaurant, unfortunately it is now being rented out to someone else. It's a huge difference to the new location in the Walderstrasse. The few staff are not to be envied given the running surface, it is clear that the service suffers, how can that be achieved? Not acceptable...

Excellent food! And the portion size was really good too. Around 6 p.m. it got a little more crowded and unfortunately the service staff didn't pay any attention to us. We then went to the cash register to pay. Nevertheless we will come back. The food was really good and it's easy to park at Aldi.

The food is still of very high quality and the atmosphere in the new restaurant is also great. Unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired: After choosing a seat and receiving the menu, we had to wait a whopping 20 minutes to even be served. During the course of the evening we also had to make several independent efforts to be able to place further orders. The volume in the restaurant is still not quite as great, but it is acceptable. Still a good address in Hilden and certainly an even better one if something changes to the service.

Very tasty food, very nice service

For starters we had chicken gyoza and shrimp summer rolls. Both dishes were also available vegetarian. For the main course we had the sushi platter Sushi for two. Super beautifully presented and great quality of the food. The staff is very accommodating and responds individually to requests. Gladly again!

The map leads through China, Japan, Thailand and offers a delicious, fresh selection that is as far removed from the glutamate cuisine of the Chinese snack bars as Hilden of Beijing. The service is super friendly even when things get stressful. At Blue Monkeys, as in every restaurant right now, you could definitely use one more waitress. All in all, an absolute recommendation from me.

Completely tasteless, sauces were watery and there were no Asian spices to be found. The breaded and unbreaded chicken was fibrous, dry and unseasoned, the vegetables were almost raw. Here you are fed off, nothing more. And that at high prices. Only someone who has no idea about Asian cuisine can find the food good. Never again Blue Monkeys!!!

The food was delicious, but we had to wait a long time. On the other hand, employees can just work and then it just takes longer. Next time we'll just make a reservation earlier so that my stomach doesn't have to worry about late dinner.

We had dinner at Blue Monkeys with the family. The company moved to these new premises within the city and has gained significantly as a result! The food is still very good, very tasty and rich. The palette ranges from sushi, in many variations, to classic dishes and curries to some Asian dishes, many of which are vegetarian. If you like Asian cuisine, you will find it here. The inner restaurant area is large, bright and very friendly and provides the typical ambience. There is also a pretty outdoor area with a large terrace in an inner courtyard. There is some street noise here, but bearable. Unfortunately, they seem to have taken a few old habits with them from the old restaurant and a lot of things don't seem to have worked out yet: various bicycles and old advertising signs from the previous business are standing unmotivated on the terrace. There are also a few places to wonder in the restaurant. This will all certainly get even better since we've only been in the rooms for a few weeks. The staff is, as always, very friendly and solution-oriented, but with the busy restaurant they quickly reach the limit of capacity, which requires patience from the guest. All in all, still worth a visit. We'd love to come back!

Very tasty, great sushi, nice outdoor area, waiting time for food under 30 minutes

Nice welcome, the food was very tasty, fresh ingredients, the duck was freshly fried and not cooked in the deep fryer. Payment possible. We will be back.

The food was again very, very tasty. We have often picked up something. Yesterday we were there spontaneously, we were told we could stay there until 6 p.m. without a reservation, which I thought was totally OK. As always, the food was super tasty and fresh. What is not possible in my opinion is that as soon as you had the last bite on your fork, it was cleared away. I still had some sushi on the plate and the question arose as to whether it could be cleared away. And no, it was just after 5 p.m. We felt rushed.

Great service in a nice atmosphere with good food. We always enjoy coming back for dinner.

Gladly again. Incredibly friendly service and very tasty food. Also beautifully presented on the plate. The portions could have been a little larger. Dogs are also welcome. We sat in the beautifully decorated beer garden. It seemed very dark inside because of the dark paint on the walls. I found it took some getting used to. It was also very warm in the restaurant. We will be back definitely. I really want to try the sushi.

Waiting for our food really ruined everything After more than an hour the food came Even though it was delicious Never again Been there first and last time Completely understaffed

Great food, very very friendly service...no waiting times and nice atmosphere...highly recommended

Fast service - delicious food - great ambience!

Unfortunately I wasn't convinced, the map is quite large but little convinced me. I personally found sushi a bit expensive, but if the quality is right you can do it. Unfortunately the service was really not good 😞 Don't know if we'll come back again.

We were skeptical at first because we had heard that there can be long waiting times for food even during the week - first of all - no, it was quick for us and for others too. Maybe it was the initial difficulties. When we went there on a Saturday evening (with a prior reservation in the beer garden) it was relatively full inside and outside. Finally, complete on the outside and half on the inside. We ordered starters and main courses, the meal lasted a total of an hour and we ate relaxed. The price-performance ratio is fair considering the quantity and quality. In terms of taste, all the dishes were delicious and varied, see also the photos. We will be happy to come back because we liked it.

Title: Best Asian Restaurant in Hilden! The Blue Monkey in Hilden is simply amazing! Here you get everything you want. The prices are fair and you get a lot for your money. It's definitely worth it! The sushi is truly the best in town! But even if you don't like sushi, everyone can find something tasty here. Even when the restaurant is full, the service is great. The staff is friendly and quick.

Absolute disaster. We were brought to the table very hectically and then ignored for 40 minutes... The table next to us, which came later, was served first... when it had eaten, the drinks were brought to us. The food itself is a matter of taste, not a lot and the quality isn't the best either. Everything is very loveless. After waiting 1.5 hours we decided to eat the main meal at home. The ambience was also modest, very careless and sloppily painted everywhere, it just looks cheap. But it fits with the rest of the impression. It's a shame, things have really gone downhill since the move...

I don't like the atmosphere at all. Everywhere carelessly painted over, far too dark and very loud. We were also disappointed with the food, the sauces were very watery. Sorry, little Nam in the city is much better.

We (6 people) went to the newly opened blue monkey today full of anticipation. What can I say :-( a total failure. It was just loud and we waited over 2 hours for our main courses. Only after we asked twice did it finally come. The platter for 2 people for 60 euros is not in any of them Price performance ratio and we were really disappointed. In any case, it could be improved.

Food was good and fresh. Just please don't criticize the service in front of the guests.

The staff is very friendly. The food is very tasty. The price-performance ratio is good.

Blue Monkey was one of our favorite restaurants before the move. Unfortunately, the new location is very loud. It's almost impossible to have a conversation when there are a few guests in the room. When we visited (Sunday lunchtime), half of the location was well attended, but still far from fully occupied. Unfortunately, the service was hardly able to keep up with the orders and drinks. We had to make several attempts to place the order for our food and second drink. Unfortunately, there was no proactive demand. After we ordered, we received our starters after 30 minutes and our main course after 1.5 hours in the restaurant. When we asked after an hour when our main course would arrive, the waitress only replied that we had received a starter in the meantime... As before the move, the food was flawless and incredibly tasty. Unfortunately, the ambience, the volume and the service are no longer suitable.

It was very cozy and to my surprise, simply delicious. 😍😍😍😍 I'll definitely go there again.

We had a very tasty meal here again. The sushi was very good and the portion was large enough. . The service was also good. Only the volume was a bit annoying. But I would still like to come back.
