Choa Restaurant in Heidelberg

We had a poke bowl and pho here, both with tofu. The tofu was deliciously fried and crispy. Both dishes were very fresh and clearly recommended in the vegetarian version.

The best sushi I've had in Heidelberg so far! And it was really creatively presented. Delicious homemade lemonade, and the mochi ice cream was also really great! Absolutely excellent value for money. Very friendly service, everything was just perfect.

Despite making a reservation we were seated somewhere in a crappy spot where the door opens every few seconds and there's a draft and you can hardly enjoy your time because every few minutes someone has to come and go. I also made a reservation at 6:50 p.m. and when we arrived we weren't even on the list. I think I'm going to get sick or even have a headache.

Good food and wide range of Asian food

Authentic sushi restaurant with fair prices and great quality During a spontaneous visit to Heidelberg, my companion and I were looking for a good restaurant and came across this sushi place. The many positive reviews and the well-attended tables convinced us to give it a try. Without a reservation, we only had to wait five minutes for a seat - a good first impression. The service was consistently friendly, attentive and accommodating. The restaurant combines modern and traditional elements in its design and is very inviting. The toilets were also clean and bright, which is always a good sign for me. The only small point of criticism was the waiting times - occasionally a bit long. However, the atmosphere was pleasantly quiet, so you could have a good conversation and the time passed quickly. As a starter I chose sushi, which not only looked beautifully presented, but also tasted impressive - fresh, finely balanced and simply excellent. The main courses, one udon noodles and one rice dish, were equally excellent. What was particularly positive was that the sauces didn't taste artificial, but seemed like they were homemade. The meat was juicy, perfectly seasoned and tasted wonderfully well. Both my companion and I were completely satisfied and would come back at any time. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality offered. A great restaurant that we would happily recommend!

Highly recommended! The sushi was excellent. The warm dishes were also very good. Very nice presentation. Very friendly service.

Food is good but we were so disappointed about not having our reservation on Valentines day. My boyfriend already reserved the table online but they didn't have any mechanism to tell us if the reservation worked or not. We drove 45 mins there to learn that we had no table reserved for us and had to go somewhere else. Because of that we also couldn't manage to reserve any other place. The colleagues didn't deal with the situation well enough. Please improve on this!

I ordered sushi online for pickup via their website. Ordering went without any problems, I was told that the current waiting time was approx. 20 minutes. I also received a direct email informing me that my order would be processed as quickly as possible. Since I didn't receive any further notification after 45 minutes, I called. The lady on the phone then explained to me that they had to cancel my order because there was too much going on at the local restaurant. No apology, nothing at all. I don't think that's okay at all if you've already received an order confirmation with an approximate waiting time. Very poorly organized. They advertise that there is a self-collection discount, but I would advise against ordering online or calling in advance and asking whether it is even possible. Very disappointing.

Highly recommended, very tasty sushi!

Ordered food, been there 3 times, was told 3 times "it will take another 20 minutes".

Reservation system is the absolute worst!! The service is rude and unfriendly… not recommended!!!

I only want to offer “constructive” criticism here. Of course, I hope for the operator that he will respond to this criticism, take it seriously and take appropriate measures. I read reviews here like “best Asian in Heidelberg”. When my green tea order, which cost a whopping 3 euros, was served, I thought more about the downfall of the West. How can you seriously score points when ordering a green tea in an Asian restaurant for which you charge 3 euros for a cup with a tea bag from a teapot that isn't even worth 10 cents and then expect a fat tip at the end? Normally I would only have complained if the green tea had been brewed with tap water instead of spring water. But a tea bag from Teekanne tops the entire restaurant visit by far. You can pass up the soup and the wakame salad for 7 euros. If you were looking forward to ramen soup with real bone marrow broth, you just have to put up with ready-made flavor enhancer paste. Shot on “they say it in German”, but the sushi platter for 29 euros was the winner and you would have expected tuna and salmon as you ordered. Instead, for this impressive sum you were served two thin slices of salmon and two thin slices of tuna on a mountain of rice, so that you were full. In the fried roll, all sorts of undefined ingredients had been fried away until they were completely unrecognizable. Anyone who was still looking forward to their sushi plate can enjoy the carbohydrate-rich rice reserves. All in all, a lot of money for little fish. P. S. I get one star because the vegetables in the soup were really fresh and not frozen. So keep practicing, maybe try a sushi course or take a training course on YouTube. Your answer to my criticism only deals with the price range, which should actually be secondary. I only chose the price range to clarify something. My primary focus was actually on the tea bag from Teekanne, which tested particularly poorly for quality and pesticides at “Stiftung Warentest”. You certainly know that there is a tea culture in Japan and China, which you cannot hide with your dry ice.

Rarely have I had such delicious sushi. It was wrapped tightly so nothing fell apart (this often happens when you eat with chopsticks). The ingredients were super fresh and tasty, you could taste every component. The fried ones 🍣 didn't taste like fat, they just tasted really good - despite the fried breading, you could taste the fish, rice or vegetables. The sauces were a bit too much and too sweet for me, but still okay. The lemonade was super delicious. The service was very attentive but not intrusive, very good. The atmosphere itself was very nice and clean too. You can sit well. It was just a little too cold for us, which took away from the comfort. The toilets were very clean. There is a large parking garage directly above the restaurant, so there are plenty of easy-to-access parking spaces.

I visited the castle at the weekend! Enjoy a delicious lunch together! The dishes are all delicious! Recommended!

Excellent sushi with the coolest presentation. We loved everything we tried and will definitely come back when we are in Heidelberg.

For us, definitely the best restaurant we ate in in Heidelberg. Really beautifully presented, delicious Asian fusion cuisine. Everything was fresh and tasted good to us. You are served a relatively large portion. You are also right at the entrance to the cable car so you can easily combine them. Also recommended as take-away or delivery.

attractive presentation of the dishes and fresh ingredients. Particularly noteworthy is the variety on the sushi platter, which is not only a delight in terms of taste but also visually. The side dishes such as pickled ginger, wasabi and crisp salad complete the experience. The ambience is inviting and authentic. Definitely a place I would happily recommend!

Very friendly and cheerful service and the food was delicious!

Food was okay, for a price it should be perfect but it wasnt unfortunatelly. Food was swimming in sauce (and you could only taste the sauce and nothing else) veggies were raw and hard to chew

Super delicious food. The four of us shared two starters, two veggie mix plates and two extra veggie rolls and were well fed. With drinks €34 per person. It was worth it!

Delicious food, nice service, delicious drinks. There's a little bit of meat in the main prices, so I definitely recommend ordering one or two starters. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a bit cold. But all in all a solid 4 star Google restaurant

Asian soul food is how Choa Heidelberg describes itself: as a “pan-Asian restaurant with Vietnamese and Japanese cuisine”. And there's something to it: slightly hidden to the left in the entrance area of ​​the mountain railway, the ambience is lovingly designed. You come in and feel comfortable. At best, the setting is clouded by the view outside, where the eye is struck by a lot of concrete (pedestrian access to the cable car). The food tastes very fresh, is well seasoned and comes quickly. We recommend, among other things, the lunch menu. The Home Made Curry, a red Thai curry that is also available with chicken or duck, comes with crunchy vegetables and a good portion of rice and tastes great. The homemade lemonade with lemon is also great. There are also various rolls and sushi and much more. The service is quick and attentive, and digital payment is no problem. All in all, the Choa Heidelberg is worth a trip. Collection of orders also possible

As sushi lovers, we have many options for comparing different cities - Choa is way up there in our rankings. Sashimi: 1A, look sushi plate: top, portion size: very generous, taste: diverse and imaginative. The service from the young team was very friendly and accommodating and one complaint was... of a drink was solved competently and professionally. Small defect: The menus are worn and sticky. Definitely change!

Went there for sushi and it was very nice no complaints. Staff was and the atmospheres was nice too.

Centrally located sushi restaurant in the heart of Heidelberg. The atmosphere on the ground floor of an underground car park takes some getting used to. Overall, the restaurant is clean and decorated according to the menu. But there is certainly still some room for improvement here. The service is quick, attentive and helpful. The dishes are attractively presented and are of good quality and freshly prepared. However, the price level is higher than one would expect for the ambience, quantity and service. Overall, the restaurant can be recommended. However, for 2 people it can easily cost €100 or more if you want to be full and limit yourself to sushi.

Hier kann man gut asiatisch im westlichen Stil essen. Anscheinend besonders beliebt bei jungen Menschen, die es sich leisten können, für ein gutes Essen Ausgehen zu können.

The food was nice but we waited a long time until the weiter took our order. The restaurant was also almost empty. The food tasted and looked really nice and the inside interior had a pleasant atmosphere.

Delicious and authentic cuisine. The sushi was excellent and well presented. The starters and other main courses were also delicious and beautifully presented. My tip: definitely try the papaya salad as a starter - the size is perfect for sharing for two. Not cheap in terms of price, but the quality and size of the dishes justify it!

Food was super tasty. The Pho soup is highly recommended. Unfortunately there were problems with my order or with the service. I had ordered a large Pho soup with tofu - I then received a small soup - which I returned because it was much too small for me and I had ordered a large one. After about 10 minutes, a new soup arrived - this time it was large, but with chicken. So with a heavy heart I let these go back too because I wanted tofu. In the meantime, my companion had already eaten and when my real soup arrived, I had to eat alone. Apart from that, the food was very tasty.

The food is really delicious. But it's terrible how long you have to wait for the food to be served. We waited 1.5 hours for 16 pieces of sushi!!! We spent more time waiting for the food in the restaurant than eating it itself! We recommend to-go!

Very cozy restaurant with delicious food, beautifully presented and the staff is very accommodating. I really enjoy coming here :)

The ambiance and food was good. It didn't take long for the food to arrive and was delicious. As person to try sushi for the first time, the experience was not bad. The online booking option doesn't really work. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Hope they improvise their booking facilities and pay attention to customer requests.

Literally every single aspect in here is perfect. Incredible service, interior design and the food... Even the Wasabi and Soy Sauce tasted incredible. Also the housemade lemonades were the best I ever had. Price is totally fair. Insane!!!

We spontaneously went out to eat and by chance we found this restaurant, we were greeted in a friendly manner and despite the many guests we were given a table near the entrance gate. Since it was a bit drafty there, the waitress came to us again and gave us a table in the Offered near the kitchen after he became available. After we ordered our dishes we had to wait a bit because it was very busy but we weren't disappointed! In addition to the tasty sushi, there was another visual highlight on the plate with smoking vases 🤩 the price was also fair!

The chaos does not have a very present place in Heidelberg. If you're not a tourist you probably won't come by by chance, but it's very tasty. The staff is helpful and nice. Always keeps an eye and asks questions. The location is ok. They made something beautiful out of it. One or two things could be made more comfortable and nicer. I have always eaten sushi and it has always been delicious, fresh and beautifully arranged. Gladly again.

Great restaurant. Very stylish. Very good dishes. We enjoyed being here.

Sensationally delicious food. We were totally thrilled. All thumbs up

Authentic taste of pho. The crispy salmon roll is also good. Mr Choa is indeed a good cook.

Very good food, the restaurant is inconspicuous from the outside but attractive inside. Everyone enjoyed it very much. It's better to reserve as it's very busy.

We found this restaurant on google and impressed by the good reviews we decided to give it a try. On a Saturday evening it gets pretty crowded, so make sure you make a reservation. The atmosphere was lively, service was very friendly and fast. They have a diverse menu with several vegetarian options. I had a delicious vegetarian curry and the size of the plate was pretty big. Prices were also reasonable. We are happy to have found this gem in Heidelberg and we will definitely come back!

We ate here for the third time yesterday. Always in a larger group! The service is great, the food is delicious and it always comes quickly. I had forgotten something and my email was answered quickly and solved very courteously. We'd love to come back when we're back in Heidelberg.

Super tasty and right at the valley station of the cable car to Königsstuhl. You can also park in the parking garage right next door. And you should make a reservation there.

Super tasty sushi. Whether it's take-away or eating in, it's always delicious.

Really not good food, we’re used to much better in Munich.

Fresh ingredients, delicious bo bun and the team is very welcoming. The dishes are plentiful and the prices reasonable.

Delicious Asian cuisine. We enjoyed it very much. Thanks.

Very good food. Large menu with different focuses, but still very tasty. At around 20 to 30 euros per person. Come again.

Unfortunately, Pho was a little watered down and service was a disaster. After we were brought to our table, it took 30 minutes for someone to take our drinks. The woman who was there seemed to be actively avoiding any eye contact and it was actually impossible to get her attention. After a considerable wait, her colleague took over. Even when we wanted to pay, it took an eternity for anyone to notice us.

Very good food and the iced tea is awesome... Very nice people in service. Top!!

I can only recommend it, super tasty

Top sushi restaurant with competent service and excellent food - we'll be back

Super great authentic Asian restaurant that impresses with very tasty dishes with meat and meat, but also vegetarian and vegan. We are always thrilled here and especially the tofu is a dream and only one other restaurant that I know does it so well.

It was a little expensive but very tasty!

The food is delicious. But something is missing for the atmosphere.

A little over pricey asian restaurant with delicious sushi.

Great food and lovely presentation that's worth the price. Went there for sushi.

Choa always feels like an insider tip. The sushi is super good and the price is fair. The sushi “combo” menus are our recommendation. A real eye-catcher. In addition to the sushi, we also love the pho. We haven't eaten anything like it in Germany. The broth makes the difference.

After I walked through the entrance gate, the initially assumed gloomy atmosphere was contradicted by an extremely beautiful ambience. My dish was a little too tasty towards the end, but the taste convinced me and my companion. Highly recommended, especially after an enchanting ride on the Heidelberg mountain railway.

It's nice but I think the starters are too small for the price But the sushi was really good

Ambiance was ok, but the food was very good and so was the service. We would come again. Ajo, there are children's meals, also fries with schnitzel (which was also pretty good) that saved our lives so we could eat something Asian.

Very tasty food. Friendly and quick service.

Delicious food. Great presentation of the sushi with dry ice.

After a long, beautiful day in Heidelberg, you can sit there very comfortably. I had a bowl and the food itself was very tasty, unfortunately I had too much sauce on it. Next time I'm there I'll definitely try the sushi.

Nice place for Asian food, I tried the Thai Curry with chicken and it was great.

One of the best sushi we have ever eaten, highly recommended! The picture says it all...!

Super tasty sushi and a spectacular presentation with dry ice. Just great. Very attentive service. The premises are a bit dark, but the sushi makes up for it all. Definitely go.

The location with the cable car could distort the first impression. The food was fantastic! Best Asian food I've tried so far. We had Veggie Gyoza and Japanese Udon Noodles with homemade teriyaki sauce, crunchy vegetables and grilled roast beef. Nice service. We will be back!

Yesterday I went to the Choa Restaurant for the second time and this time I was once again thrilled by the authentic and really outstanding Asian cuisine. For starters we had the vegetarian gyoza, which were very crispy and deliciously filled, and for the main course we had the “Japanese Udon Noodles” with grilled roast beef. Our trip to Heidelberg was worth it just for this really great lunch! I still remember the very good sushi from my first visit here (about 2.5 years ago). Definitely recommended!!

Best Thai curry we have ever eaten! Nice atmosphere and nice staff. Price/performance is right

The restaurant had a large selection of Asian food and it was beautifully presented. The appetizer was good, but unfortunately the sushi was just average. Unfortunately, the sushi rolls didn't have much flavor (too much mayo and avocado, you couldn't taste the salmon). Unfortunately, the service was also not satisfactory. Some of us were still eating the starter, but she was already clearing the plates. In my opinion, every person at the table should be finished eating before it is supposed to be cleared away. The main course was also served directly after the starter without taking a break. The restaurant wasn't full.

Food and service were great. Unfortunately, the information about allergens is incorrect for many dishes. Many dishes with tofu, for example, lack soy. You can at least tell from the description, but maybe not with sauces

Everything was really good! All the food and drinks we tried were awesome! They have a bunch of different options on the Menu. Great and faster service! The place was very cozy and clean! Definitely coming back! I really recommend this place!

We were very satisfied. The sushi was really very good. Great in taste and deliciously prepared too.

Very friendly staff, delicious food. Highly recommended 💕

The food was very good and looked very good too. I can highly recommend it.

Reasonable prices, first-class service, wide variety of food, and great taste!

So far we have only used the delivery service (Wolt) and have been thrilled every time! The food is incredibly delicious! 😋

Very friendly staff and good food

We were blown away by our visit today! Super tasty, brilliant presentation of the food. I come here more often! Very nice service who, in the event of a misunderstanding when ordering, left the incorrect dish on the house

There is a sign in front of the door advertising the lunch menu. The fact that it only applies to certain days is written small in the corner, barely visible. So the bill will be at least 50% higher than expected. Orders were more of a gamble. Sometimes wrong, sometimes we got something we didn't order. Recommend? Never!

Tasty, beautifully presented, great all around

I've never eaten Asian food as well as I did here. Mega.

Highly recommended. Very tasty sushi, great presentation and friendly, courteous service.

Top quality sushi 🚀🚀🚀 It's hard to imagine better sushi like Choa. The freshness and presentation of the dishes here may also be unique for Heidelberg. Yesterday we ate Sushi Dat for 2, a heavenly platter for 2 people that leaves nothing to be desired. The €58.00 for this wasn't a cent too much, simply in a class of its own. Although it was completely enough, out of sheer curiosity we had to eat the tunar tartare for €11.00, a wonderfully seasoned tuna on a bed of avocado and seaweed. Respect and see you soon.

Was absolutely satisfied. Super well prepared. Super well balanced. Highly Recommended Food came quickly despite the restaurant being full. Service friendly and quick. So gladly again.

Went there because of good rating, but was disappointed. First, the location- is not really good, you won’t be sitting and looking on the beautiful historic streets, it looks more like a metro place. Interior inside is not bad. Second, we faced with bad service, we waited more than 30> minutes to order. Then more then 30 minutes to pay. Food was good and interesting serving the dish. We ordered the family menu+ some other rolls, and for so big bill we expected perfect service. We approached him more than 4 times to ask for a selfie box for the person in the car... it was terrible. He just went to serve other tables and forgot. The food was good, the presentation is charming, but I don’t recommend the place - you may end up disappointed! Location so so + baaad service

Service is a disaster. It's easy to wait 30 minutes for your drinks. The tables are not cleared after the meal. I also ordered beef, which tasted like fish because it was probably grilled on the same grill. Prices very expensive for what you get.

Very tasty food, very nicely served. Nice service, highly recommended.

Very nice atmosphere and also great food. The sushi is very tasty, I can also recommend the lemonades :) I actually always order the Pho with tofu! Really very tasty!

The waiting time was a bit long, but the restaurant was also super full. The staff were super friendly and the food was also very tasty :)

Service was very friendly, there were 4 of us there, but the price-performance ratio wasn't right at all. Very faithful for comparatively basic dishes. However, we didn't order any sushi either. Ambience not really comfortable either. Were a little disappointed

Friendly staff, clean toilets and pleasant atmosphere. The sushi and appetizers were top. Inexpensive and only recommended

I loved the place. I had a Po soup and it was delicious. They served me at a time when most other restaurants are closed and I really appreciated it. The price was very good.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant; the food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented.

Vegetarian sushi variants here are more than just cucumber maki and are very tasty. Nice attentive service.

Inedible and the money was not refunded when asked. Pushed away on the phone after it had already been answered.

We really enjoyed it here! Plus it wasn't that crowded either. There is a star deduction for the toilets, which could have been tidier.

When we arrived, all the free tables were still covered with old dishes. We were greeted and then we waited and waited in vain for our table to be cleared and for us to be given a card. After more than 15 minutes we left. We would have liked to make ourselves known, but no one even looked in our direction. A pity!

Tolles asiatisches Restaurant. Nette Bedienung. Super Karte. Feine Sushi. Schön serviert. Preis Leistung OK

A bit too pricey. Our experience was great with the staff and the atmosphere, but the food was nothing special. It may depend on a personal taste and on what we ordered. Maybe not their Must. We got Ebi tempura inside out rolls as starter. As mains, teriyaki Salmon and teriyaki Tuna fish, which looked like "soups", so too much broth and too sweet.
