Citana Restaurant in Bochum

We were thrilled with the service and the very good food. We have been here several times and are always thrilled.

Great card. Great selection. Something for every taste. Very nice service. Recommendation for Bochum.

Highly recommended, tasty and nice but not super duper good. You can go there.

The waitresses were very friendly and, more importantly, the food was simply wonderful. Even the vegetables etc. were earlier and crunchier than I would have expected. The coffee was a little highlight for me because I had never had coffee like that before. I will definitely come back here!

I was here for the first time a few days ago and I was thrilled. We had a total of two starters and two main courses, all dishes were freshly prepared and tasty. I personally had sushi. The sushi had a very high proportion of fish, tasted great, was absolutely fresh and the price-performance ratio was more than okay. The team is super friendly and attentive.

Very tasty food, mediocre waiting time in the evening rush hour.

Very tasty sushi. Price performance is also completely okay.

Very nice Vietnamese restaurant with a lot of style! The food is served in large bowls and is always beautifully presented. There are also many vegan options. Everything is always very fresh and delicious. When the restaurant was new, ordering and receiving food took a long time, but things have gotten much better. The only criticism is the price of the drinks. They are really very expensive. The interior is very, very nice and the employees are friendly.

Mega delicious food. The ambience isn't great, but the food is and that's the most important thing. Very tasty.

Always super crowded and loud. But really tasty!!! Thanks

As always, super tasty. It's really worth coming here

Incredibly delicious food, lots of vegetarian dishes. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended. Great selection of food and drinks. Friendly staff. Everything neat.

+ friendly staff + chic, cozy atmosphere + well selected menu + very tasty crispy vegan duck + many vegetarian & vegan dishes + good value for money

The food is incredibly delicious. I can only recommend the Citana as an insider tip and would go there again at any time :) You just have to get used to the fact that untypical music is playing, but you'll forget about it at some point :)

The mango salad – for my Southeast Asian palate, the salty and savory flavor of the fish sauce was just missing. This could hardly be tasted. The main course with curry sauce was tasty, but lacked spiciness, even though the menu stated that it should be spicy. Overall still good.

Super tasty and everyone was super friendly. Everything went really quickly :)

Delicious food. Ambiance still okay. Restaurant is practically a long hose. Now that it was winter, it was quite drafty and cold in the restaurant. Otherwise quite nice.

Super cute little place, the prices for the portions were great. It tasted very good and my sisters can only recommend it. Great staff, very friendly and it went quickly 😊

We ate on site, as always very tasty, friendly service, we would like to come back!

Very tasty sushi and great service! It took a little long despite the store being quite empty, but it was still within limits. Overall it was a nice experience! The food tastes incredibly good.

The spring rolls are great. The service is great and the atmosphere is special. Oh, there are also many other wonderful things on the menu.

Best Asian food in Bochum. Also friendly service with a pleasant atmosphere.

Extremely tasty dishes that are also served quickly. Vegetarians and vegans have a good selection. Nice atmosphere. A reservation makes sense, especially on weekends.

Great food Nice staff Definitely worth it

The four of us got a table straight away without a reservation. Food came quickly and was very, very tasty. 10/10

Very tasty food, great atmosphere and friendly staff! Sushi was great! We definitely recommend Citana and will come back...

The vegan chicken is super tasty and tastes very true 😍 the portions are large and even though it was full the food came very quickly

Visit for five. Two meals were forgotten. When this was pointed out, only one came. After further advice, the last dish was brought over 30 minutes later (compared to the first dishes), which was partly not what was ordered (sushi). Service didn't dare to go in our direction anymore, but still wanted a good tip. Definitely not a recommendation!

Delicious food at fair prices. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. It's better to reserve on weekends.

This used to be my favorite restaurant and the fried tofu with mango curry was simply my favorite meal. Unfortunately, the prices have recently been increased several times (from 12.95 at the beginning of 2024 to 14.95 now) and the last few times the rice was so soft that chewing was unnecessary. The curry also had less flavor. Maybe we can work on that...

10/10 no matter what! I even get a glass of mineral water when I pick it up 💯 food was always perfect. Crunchy sushi at its finest 😂 you can also relax here alone or with friends. The ambience is dark, but still creates a cozy atmosphere 🤝🏻❤️

The food was fantastic. The taste was very good and the quantity too

We used to be in love with Citana but unfortunately recently food got way worse. We decided to give it one more chance today and we left disappointed ☹️. My dish was very plain, almost without taste and it was supposed to be spicy curry which I remember was full of flavor before. My husband got beef with veges which contained almost only of onion. Cannot say anything wrong about the waiter. Very friendly. Wish the restaurant would come back to its glory when they opened.

Super tasty and attractively prepared food. Very friendly and helpful service. Always worth a visit.

The food tasted very good, we just had to wait longer to pay after eating.

Unfortunately disappointing. The quality of the chicken breast fillet (curry) was strikingly strange, like hard and chewy rubber. I don't know anything like that and I could hardly eat it. I don't actually write reviews, but unfortunately the experience was really not recommended. Sauce for a curry very, very mild, but good, the point is a matter of taste. For me please not again.

Delicious food, friendly service and a cozy little restaurant! Food came quickly. Reservation recommended.

Very tasty and authentic Vietnamese food, at fair prices. It's best to reserve a spot on the weekend, as it's very busy.

Good 🍣 sushi, although of course it could be better! Summer roll unfortunately without much taste or herbs. Service was nice and quick. Ambience was rather poor. Still recommended overall!

A really nice and incredibly tasty little restaurant. With a reservation in the evening area there are no problems getting a table. The dishes are lovingly prepared and taste really great! An extensive menu and yet every dish is simply delicious!

It is very nicely decorated. Today's summer rolls were simply boring without the characteristic herbs and spices (cilantro, Thai basil, mint, ginger) and were filled entirely with noodles and iceberg lettuce (is that even allowed in there?). The special sushi roll with mango and avocado and sesame was so skimpy on exactly these 3 ingredients that it seemed a little cheeky to me. Therefore only 2 stars today for the food.

The restaurant is a clear recommendation. It's not really cheap, but it's definitely worth the price. Although I actually eat meat, I particularly recommend the fried tofu.

Very tasty and beautifully presented food. Friendly service as well!

Best Vietnamese restaurant in Bochum! Always happy to go there!

The food has better snack quality. Enough for a quick midday snack. The behavior of the staff is annoying: dishes that are "similar" to the ones ordered are brought...but each costs around €2 more. Drinks come in 0.2 glasses but are charged at the 0.25 or 0.3 prices on the menu. When asked, stoic silence

Very tasty food, friendly service and nice atmosphere. We were there spontaneously at lunchtime and the food arrived very quickly. The price-performance ratio is also great! We'll definitely be back😍

Very tasty food. The lunch menu was also very reasonably priced. We had sushi and rice noodles and they were really good portions. Card payment is only possible from 25€! We didn't know that beforehand, but luckily we were able to pay together.

Delicious food, prices are fair. Lots of choice and friendly staff. Some seats in the pedestrian zone area

Nice place to eat and value for money was very good. Menu and prices can be viewed online in advance. The food also came within about 15 minutes, so relatively quickly. We didn't have to wait long. Recommended restaurant!

I enjoyed the sushi. Mango lassi was delicious. Everything was fresh. I love decorations as well. I 100% recommend!

The food is great, I recommend every dish, it's delicious, the atmosphere is nice, you can eat and drink something

The selection of Vietnamese restaurants in Bochum is very large. But you can't go wrong with a visit to the Citana. The staff was super friendly and accommodating during our visit, the food was served quickly and was really tasty. The menu has vegan dishes in a separate category, but there is also the option to prepare other dishes vegan.

Great restaurant! I have tried many Asian restaurants in Bochum and this Vietnamese restaurant is by far my favorite! Super fresh every time, great taste, really nice service! It is a bit loud and you are quite close to the people sitting next to you, but if that doesn't bother you, you should definitely stop by!

If you like Vietnamese food, this is the place for you. The dishes are very tasty and the staff is courteous and very friendly. Always my pleasure.

Large, delicious selection, including vegetarian options.

JUST NO!!! I ordered sushi and they put a lettuce leaf next to the sushi. There were at least 4 beetles, 2 small mosquitoes and 2 very small red migratory insects on the leaf. I told the waitress and she didn't even apologize!!! Would have expected compensation or at least an apology. Super unhygienic, super rude!!! NO MORE!!!

Food great, atmosphere great, service very nice, BUT of course card payments only from €25. This is how you lose guests. Welcome to Germany.

Super delicious food with great & lots of vegan options! Unfortunately, sometimes the restaurant is a bit noisy

It was not bad at all, but way under the quality of other vietnamese restaurants around. Especially, the chicken was very disappointing, as it was mostly just crust and very little meat hiding inside each piece.

Always incredibly tasty, fresh & served quickly. We arrived shortly before closing time and were still able to have a great meal! Really great!

Small but nice - and delicious!

Large portions and small prices. That's why compromises are made when it comes to quality. The meat is of poor quality. You won't find coriander in Vietnamese dishes. No herbs, chili or limes are served with the Pho - unfortunately not authentic.

I think this is one of the best shops, if not THE best shop for delicious sushi. This was truly an unsurpassed experience in terms of taste, I could have cried with joy, it was so delicious! You also just have to look at the beautiful decoration of how the sushi was served! So appetizing and aesthetically prepared. The service was very nice and the atmosphere is very cozy and nicely decorated. I will definitely come here again, this is my favorite restaurant from now on 🍣 ❤️

Nicely decorated restaurant with great cuisine!

Delicious meal, adequate portions, quick service, pleasant atmosphere.

We've tried a few Vietnamese restaurants lately, but this one was the best food-wise! We went there twice for lunch and both times the dishes were very good. Since we eat a vegan diet, the vegan offering was particularly important to us. There are some vegan dishes on the menu and also one in the lunch menu. In addition, we were also able to order a dish that was not listed as vegan so that it was prepared vegan. The next time I'm in Bochum, I'd love to come back again.

Food was very tasty. But I don't think it's cozy, it's a bit like a snack bar

Good Vietnamese cuisine with friendly staff and a wide selection of different dishes. Vegetarians don't miss out here either. Be sure to reserve!

Good selection, very good prices, delicious drinks and good food.

Food tastes decent but is definitely not the most authentic Vietnamese experience. Also, the Edamame were steamed/cooked too much, and the Kimchi was super spicy but otherwise tasted pretty bland/not high-quality. (These dishes alone should tell you that it’s more of a fusion situation). They do have a huge selection of Vegetarian and Vegan options that taste pretty okay. All in all, I would probably not return there because it just didn’t do the trick for me: the service doesn’t stand out and the food is of medium quality (especially compared to its price tag). It also gets really loud in there so that you have to scream at each other. Just a side note: On the TVs installed at the ceiling, they are showing pictures of various dishes - if you don’t constantly look at them, you will miss the fact that these are NOT dishes you can order at Citana but at their second restaurant. Maybe this fact should be stated more clearly.

Small shop with friendly service and incredibly delicious food. A dream for vegetarians too.

Very tasty food and nice service. Five vegan main dishes to choose from 👏 Thank you!

Very good food, tasty, nicely presented, wide menu, large selection of dishes and drinks, nice service, I recommend.

We especially love this restaurant for the super fresh sushi, the flambéed salmon is incredibly good. The service is always friendly and the food comes quickly, even when the shop is full.

We stopped by there once. The food was fantastic. It was fresh and really tasty. The sushi rolls were also amazing. We will be back. Photos to follow...

Service takes a while, but the food itself is tasty and beautifully presented. Depending on the time of day, it's worth making a reservation

Table reserved for five people at 8 p.m. - still no table at 8:45 p.m. Very annoying on a Saturday

Phở bò with tasty broth, friendly service

Ate sushi on site yesterday, food poisoning today

Today we pre-ordered something there for the first time to eat at home. So I can't say anything much about the ambience and service... But I find the prices really steep compared to the portion size. The taste was good, but it wasn't quite enough to fill you up!

The food here is very good and inexpensive

It takes a bit of time if you go to the restaurant on the weekend, but it's worth it

We had made a reservation but were left at the back for 10 minutes even though there were free tables. The food was cold and the best comes last... we were allowed to sit for 1 hour and then were chased from our seats to make room for a larger group. We should then pay and leave.

We ate vegan there, it was okay… but really not great… Our waiter was super nice and new and friendly. Unfortunately a glass fell over and broke, they wanted 8! Euros for this glass, I found this absolutely unacceptable. Will not visit this store again!

Delicious food and friendly staff. Sushi are an eye-catcher. I had rice with beef, which didn't necessarily taste any different than in a home-style kitchen. No special spices tasted. We found the atmosphere to be very hectic and loud. Possibly recommended during the week and not during prime time.

I love this cute little restaurant. The food has always been great so far. Service very nice.

The service is very good and English is OK! The food is delicious and affordable.

Essene wurde schnell zubereitet und war sehr schmackhaft.

Ganz hübsche Location. Mein Donburi war super,beim Sushi fiel leider alles auseinander. Bestellaufnahme hat länger gedauert obwohl der Laden nur mäßig besucht war und der Service war nicht so aufmerksam. Alles in allem aber Ok

they did‘n prepare what I order

Leider hat auch hier die Qualität nachgelassen.....Die chinesischen Nudeln war ungenießbar, leider!

Ich habe gestern Online To-Go bestellt und es hat reibungslos geklappt. Es war sofort zum Abholen bereit zu der angegebenen Zeit. (Alte Kritik war, dass das vorbestellte Essen, erst zubereitet worden ist als wir zur Abholung kamen.) Das Essen war wie immer sehr lecker. Deswegen korrigiere ich meine Bewertung wieder von 3 auf 5 Sterne. Die Dame, auf die sich meine alte Kritik (Falsche Bestellungen aufgenommen, 1 von 4 Gerichten war richtig) bezog, scheint auch nicht mehr dort zu arbeiten. -------- Essen schmeckt sehr gut und frisch. Die Crunchy Rolls kann ich sehr empfehlen und hat Suchtfaktor. Werde auf jeden Fall noch öfters dort bestellen. Bestellung und Abholung war total unkompliziert und das Personal ist sehr nett. Macht weiter so! Nachtrag: Leider ist es nicht mehr das was es mal war. Das Essen schmeckt lecker, das steht außer Frage. Deswegen gibt es die 3 Sterne. Der Service ist nur schrecklich. Schon öfters online zum Abholen bestellt aber bei den letzten Malen hatten wir das Gefühl, dass erst mit der Bestellung angefangen wird wenn man es abholen kommt. Man muss mit einer zusätzlichen Wartezeit rechnen. Darüberhinaus muss man die Bestellung auch noch selber kontrollieren. Einmal hat dann noch was gefehlt und dann kam nochmal Wartezeit drauf. Vor 2 Wochen wollten wir dem Restaurant wieder eine Chance geben. Das falsche Gerichte gebracht werden kann ich auch bestätigen. Da wir aber Hunger hatten, haben wir die trotzdem gegessen. Es hat auch gut geschmeckt aber nur 1 von 4 hat gestimmt. Die hier schon oft erwähnte Dame schreibt sich beim Aufnehmen der Bestellungen nichts auf. Dann gibt es noch so Kleinigkeiten wie, dass sie die Rechnungen zerknittert aus ihrer Schürze zieht. Außerdem ist es teilweise sehr laut im Gastraum. Wäre sie bisschen sympathisch, könnte man über viele Dinge hinweg sehen aber sie ist sehr ruppig und man möchte von ihr nicht bedient werden. Das, dass jetzt kein Einzelfall ist und subjektives Empfinden ist, zeigen mir auch die anderen Bewertungen hier. Leider hat das alles auch unseren Besuch getrübt und haben uns den Abend lang auch drüber geärgert, da der Spaß auch nicht ganz günstig war. Fazit: Essen schmeckt und kommt relativ schnell aber es kann sein, dass man Russisch Roulette spielt mit dem was man bekommt. Wir werden es wohl erst nächstes Jahr wieder probieren oder wenn wir sehen das neue Kellner arbeiten. Ich vermisse die Dame, die ganz am Anfang dort gearbeitet hat. Auf die bezieht sich meine 1. Bewertung.

Sehr leckeres Essen, emofehlenswert.

Sehr lecker! Als wir gegen 16:30 Uhr ins Restaurant gingen, war es fast leer. Innerhalb von einer Stunde füllte sich das Restaurant rasant. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön und jetzt zur Weihnachtszeit stand sogar ein Weihnachtsbaum direkt neben uns. Der Service war zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Wir haben sehr lecker gegessen und kommen gerne noch einmal wieder. Wir hatten Sushi und Pho Xao Ga. Minuspunkt: Das einzige was in der Speisekarte fehlte, waren die japanischen Udon Nudeln, welche online angeboten wurden. Schade!

Wir wurden mit der Hoffnung, dass ein Tisch fast frei ist in die letzte Ecke vom Laden gedrängt. Nach fast 30 Minuten war der Tisch noch immer nicht fast frei.

Eigentlich super lecker aber bei meinen letzten Besuchen war das Sushi nicht mehr so wie früher. Auf Nachfrage stellte sich heraus, dass der Koch sich geändert hat. Sehr schade..

Bestes asiatisches Restaurant in Bochum

Wir besuchten das Citana, nachdem wir es im Bochumer Schlemmerblock `23 entdeckten. Glücklicherweise erhielten wir die letzten beiden Plätze, im komplett ausgebuchten Lokal. Durch die vielen Menschen war es wirklich unfassbar laut, nicht mal in All Inklusive Hotels gibt es so eine Geräuschkulisse. Das Personal war mit der Anzahl der Gäste überfordert. Ich bekam mehrfach mit, dass Gäste fragten, ob sie vergessen worden sind. Wir erhielten dann doch unsere Getränke, die Vorspeisen und das Hauptgericht. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet, wurde hübsch angerichtet und war eine ordentliche Menge. Die Preise waren unter dem Gesichtspunkt, dass wir mitten in der Fußgängerzone sind, noch in Ordnung. Essen also wirklich Top, Service und Ambiente könnten besser sein.

Sehr leckeres Essen, saubere Toiletten, freundliche Mitarbeiter, preis-wert. Vor Ort etwas eng und laut, aber für Abholer super.
