COCO Ramen - Sushi - Asian kitchen in Köln

Four of us went here for ramen. Everyone had a different dish. We thought the taste was okay. The wontons and sushi were delicious. We were there on a Friday afternoon, and it wasn't busy, so the wait for the food was relatively short. The restrooms are a disaster. We wouldn't go again.

Pleasant atmosphere and super tasty but not quite cheap

Excellent ramen, the service is very fast, but it’s a little bit pricey

Very good quality, the ramen slaps. Pro tip : If you take their Ramen, eat the pepper in one bite.

So I'm a ramen fan. 4 dishes. ALL top-notch.

A great restaurant in a quiet location. Delicious food. Everything looks fantastic. The cocktails are also highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Ramen was ok, but I would not order it again. Vege noodles with beef were really good, would recomend. Everything a little too salty. Really nice service.

Went with friends. Very, very satisfied!!

Not real Japanese ramen. Mango curry was quite tasty. Homemade iced tea, too.

Great food, I highly recommend it. I'd love to come back next time I'm in Cologne :)

Authentically delicious Asian food. The ramen, in particular, is delicious and highly recommended. We'll be happy to come back when we're in Cologne again :)

It was the best ramen experience in Cologne! A short two-day city trip, and we were looking for a place to eat. As a ramen lover, how could we not stop at this amazing spot? Having just come back from Japan in February, I can honestly say the ramen here comes very close! The broth is excellent and flavorful, the meat is tender and delicious… for a moment, I felt like I was back in Japan. It was so good that we went back the very next day. I highly recommend the wonton ramen (which I had and absolutely loved) and the chicken udon with its incredible chicken! If you’re hesitating about going, don’t! Expect to have an experience that truly feels like being in Japan, rich in flavor.

The sushi was delicious. Crispy on the outside and warm on the inside. Very friendly service. I highly recommend it.

Outstanding food, probably the best Ramen I have had

The food was delicious. The service was excellent. We eat here often and have only had good experiences so far.

Good service, delicious sushi, but other dishes were too oily for me personally, and while I understand that this is a peculiarity of Asian cuisine, I still wish the menu offered options for those watching their weight. Also, we saw a rat during our meal...

Very delicious Shoyu Ramen. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in Cologne again.

Very good ramen and curry. Fast, efficient and not so expensive.

This is very important. Leider is this Essen gar nicht gut. There is a lot of energy, there are many problems with our customers - and there is a lot of war in the comment box: there is a solution, this person has money and personal data. All, this is the case: I have and have other Restaurants available, and there are plenty of prices in the same place and other nearby Restaurants. I do not recommend it at all. Unfortunately, the food is not good at all. I had read the reviews, but we still wanted to try it – and it turned out exactly as described in the comments: too salty, disgusting kitchen, and very rude staff. To everyone reading this: I've tried other restaurants, and for the same price, you can go to much better and higher-quality restaurants. A very bad restaurant. Unfortunately, I asked more than once about the pork, and the proof was the first employee who said they don't use anything that came in contact with pork in the meals ordered. However, I was suspicious because of the taste, so I asked another employee, and he told me they use pork-related items in all the meals. I don't recommend anyone go there. We made a mistake, and we tried. We ask God for forgiveness.

I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant. The food was terrible and arrived very late. On top of that, it’s quite expensive compared to other restaurants. A complete waste of time and money.

The ramen was okay, tasty enough, but not particularly memorable. Decent spot if you’re nearby

very tasty, high quality, simple cozy atmosphere

The food was excellent, not entirely original, but definitely acceptable for non-Asians. The prices were reasonable. Service was a bit slow. The restaurant was also a bit dark and gloomy.

Best conditions I have ever eaten!!!

We traveled over 100km here, of course, we were shopping, BUT everyone was looking forward to the cream noodles, and what can I say: 11/10 and more 😍😍😍 We ate chilled cream noodles, Lucky Ducky cream noodles, mango curry with rice, two duck dishes, edemame, spring rolls, and even dessert!!! I can recommend it wholeheartedly!!!! Then we had Tiger beer, homemade lemonade, everything was absolutely delicious!!! We'd love to come back again!

The food took a while to arrive. I wasn't blown away by the taste. I had the feeling they used Italian spaghetti 😂

I've tried ramen at several restaurants in Cologne. I liked the broth here the best. The selection is varied, and everything is freshly prepared!

We were visiting Cologne and were looking for something spontaneously. The food was delicious, and we didn't have to wait long for it.

Maybe it was just my imagination, but after eating that meat, my stomach wasn't feeling quite right. Despite the low number of customers, the staff brought my food before my drink, or rather, I had to alert the waiter; apparently, it wasn't even included in the order. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as great as many reviews claim. After this visit, I avoided ramen for the rest of my stay in Cologne, as otherwise I'd be thinking about this place.

The ramen, especially the lunch menu, is very reasonably priced, delicious, and filling. The cheapest ones start at €10.90. Unfortunately, card payments are only accepted for orders over €30, which we only found out when we arrived. I was particularly impressed by the large and plentiful tofu and the abundance of vegetables. The curry ramen is highly recommended :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A real insider tip for ramen fans! This was our first time at Coco Ramen in Cologne – and definitely not the last! As big ramen lovers, we had the Chanpon Ramen with breaded shrimp and the Lucky Ducky Ramen with crispy duck. Both dishes were absolutely delicious – rich, well-seasoned, and with great toppings. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and the prices are more than fair for what you get. The homemade iced teas and lemonades were also really delicious – definitely not mass-produced, but made with love. The shop is clean, tidy, and cozy. We were there on a Thursday evening; it was about 40% full, but our food still arrived very quickly. The service was friendly and attentive. Verdict: All in all, a success! Delicious food, great atmosphere, fair price. We'd love to come back! 🍜🥢

I sat down first and then decided to take the food I ordered to go. Despite the circumstances, the service was friendly, quick, and courteous. I didn't eat the takeaway food until a little later, when it was no longer quite hot but just warm. The portion was large, but unfortunately, the flavor was lacking a certain something. Perhaps that was due to the takeaway, though, I can't say for sure. I probably wouldn't pick it up again. Overall, though, I wouldn't mind trying the restaurant again.

It was my first time here and I'll definitely be back. I love sushi but don't like cream cheese; leaving it out here wasn't a problem. I had the Fire Mango Salmon Roll, and it was one of the most delicious sushi rolls I've ever eaten.

Nice and calm atmosphere. Very polite waiter, didn't have to wait long for the food, prices are reasonable. So to be honest, the restaurant is for one time, maybe it's because I like variety? Most likely. I would recommend ordering sushi here 🍣✅

You had this 3-star review "61 +82 +112 eaten. So-so, the previous one was unfortunately better. Mango lassi is delicious. Friendly service." removed from Google, because that's now possible!

Overall a good experience. Pet friendly (at least with our service dog). Ramen was good, although the noodles were not the best quality. Sushi was average, nothing really special. We also found a black thick hair in the ramen... The waitress was friendly, but the guys in the kitchen did not look friendly at all.

A young, hard-working team who enjoy their work. Flexible ordering options and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Tastes quite good, homemade lemonade bomb

Great food, but unfortunately, the restrooms are a no-go I recently went to Coco Ramen with a friend and I have to say: the food was absolutely amazing! The ramen was outstanding – intensely flavorful, freshly prepared, and lovingly presented. The service was also very friendly, attentive, and quick, so we felt completely at ease throughout our meal. The ambiance is simple but pleasant – just the thing for a relaxed evening with good food. However, there was one major disappointment: the restrooms. On our way to the restroom, we unfortunately discovered that they were in really poor condition – very dirty, partially broken (loose toilet lids), little to no toilet paper, no way to dry our hands, and a complete lack of sanitizer. That was a real shame and, unfortunately, a stark contrast for a restaurant with such high-quality food. I really hope this will be improved soon – because Coco Ramen has great potential to become a real favorite.

Very nice selection, including vegan options. I'd be happy to come back.

Recht beliebiges Essen, kein besonderes Geschmackserlebnis. Dasselbe Essen habe ich in einem Imbiss schon wesentlich besser bekommen. Die Fleischbeilage kostete 6,- € extra, dafür war es definitiv zu wenig. Wenn wir gewusst hätten, dass man uns schon um 21:30 Uhr hinauskomplimentieren würden (obwohl es offiziell bis 22:00 Uhr geht), hätten wir keinen Wein bestellt, den wir dann nicht mehr austrinken konnten. Es liefen einige Mäuse im Speisesaal herum, auf die wir das Personal aufmerksam machten. Das schien bereits bekannt zu sein, und es kümmerte sich niemand darum.

I read the negative reviews and can't confirm this. We did have to wait a bit at first to order, but the drinks and food arrived quite quickly. For starters, we had baked wontons, which were quite tasty. My boyfriend had raw salmon and baked sushi, and I had the shoru soup. I was initially impressed by that. Then I realized it was "regular" spaghetti and not typical ramen. It tasted really good.

Good and fast service. The food was very yummy😋

Mediocre food, slow service, too expensive!!!

Delicious food, with lots of vegan options that are also clearly marked. It was delicious!

Allergens noted and canceled were ignored for both ordered dishes. In addition, there was an extremely long wait of an hour before we could even order, and an even longer wait for the food itself, which ultimately arrived only lukewarm.

I honestly don't understand all the good reviews. Four of us arrived shortly before 1 p.m. and asked for a table outside. The tables were extremely dirty; there were no menus or cutlery out, so we waited for a while. But since we only had limited time (the train was leaving in 90 minutes), we went inside to ask for a menu, which we were given. After quite a while, the waiter came and took our orders and also cleaned the table. So far, so good. Unfortunately, it took about 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive, and another 20 minutes (at least) for the food to arrive. In the meantime, a friend of ours had to go in THREE times to ask, and she always said "2 minutes, just a minute." When the food finally arrived, it was at its best: mediocre. I've had MUCH better food, and I somehow didn't feel comfortable/happy afterwards, which was probably due to the whole experience. My friend's noodles were also stuck together in a large "blob" and still raw in the middle (see picture). When we went up to pay, the waitress had no idea where our table was or what we'd ordered and apparently couldn't find it in the system. So we had to repeat what we had and she typed it into the calculator... Overall, our visit here used up exactly the 90 minutes, and we ended up having to run to the main station. Normally, you can expect food to arrive faster, and it would at least have tasted better after the wait. PS: There were other tables occupied outside (so it wasn't like we were sitting far away from the action) and it wasn't that busy inside either. And yet, the waitress didn't even bother to check on us ONCE, and we had to ask for everything ourselves. We won't be back.

Food is average. We were 3 people and we are familiar with Japanese cuisine, and none of us really liked his food. In addition, waiting time was horrible. 25 minutes to be seated even when they had free tables (they just didn’t have time to clean the tables because they served food as well), and then 15 more minutes to order, and 1 full hour until we received our food. Unbelievable!

Unfortunately, I wasn't entirely satisfied with my visit. We were there on a Friday around 1 p.m., and the place was relatively busy but not overly crowded. We sat outside, but the waitresses took their time to come to us, and we had to keep asking for directions. We also had to wait over 40 minutes for our food, which, while tasty, was ultimately rather mediocre and somewhat uninspiring. It got busier as our visit progressed; perhaps all the employees were just stressed, but it wasn't a pleasant experience for us. I did like the drinks, though; they had some homemade lemonades and iced teas that sounded delicious. And the menu clearly indicated, with little icons, which dishes were vegetarian, vegan, or spicy.

I don't understand the good reviews here.. we waited an extreeeeee long time for our food.. had ramen with breaded chicken, the breading was completely soggy, it really didn't taste good, we just forced ourselves to finish eating, can't recommend the place at all, sorry

The restaurant was a complete mess. We were extremely hungry, had to wait forever, and when the food finally arrived, it was very salty. The drinks also took far too long. No communication, no service, no respect for the guests' time. Never again.

I waited an hour, the food is not very good, and there are too few service staff

I went to Coco Ramen in the center of Cologne and was quite disappointed. The wait time was over an hour, and no one informed us. Some dishes arrived cold, and the drinks took forever. Yes, the food tasted really good—probably the reason for the 4.7 stars—but the service and organization were simply poor. If you're hungry and expecting normal service, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Contrary to expectations, unfortunately not so good food

We had ramen and sushi. It was super delicious.

Good option for Asian food in Cologne. Open kitchen, very fast service near the center.

The food tasted very simple, nothing special. They cooked and served quickly. A big minus to the establishment for the poor hood in the kitchen. The kitchen is open and when they started to actively fry something, the cafe filled with smoke and there was an unpleasant smell of burning. After the establishment, we smelled unpleasantly of burnt food.

There were tons of vegan dishes. I ordered a vegan udon ramen. It was incredibly delicious! The homemade lemon iced tea was also very good. The price is generally slightly more expensive, but absolutely within the normal range for Asian food. But for the quality and service, it's also perfect! Ideas for improvement: reusable chopsticks (the disposable wooden ones always break off chips, so you have to be careful not to get them in your food). And I miss a vegan dessert. Overall, a well-deserved 10/10, and we'd be happy to come back :)

Simply poor-quality food and terrible service.

Ambiente war ansprechend und der Service in Ordnung. Leider war ich bei den Preisen sehr unbeeindruckt von der gelieferten Qualität. Geschmacklich eher unspektakulär. Ich würde nicht ein zweites mal kommen.

An absolute feast for the palate... so delicious

The food was very tasty, unfortunately when I packed up the leftovers the meat miraculously disappeared. The restaurant itself is very cozy, unfortunately the toilets are very dirty.

Reservations were made in advance for 6 people, the service was friendly, the atmosphere and sushi were eaten, everything was great

I found the food quite good. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the ramen, but I still plan to.

Top service, delicious ramen and sushi eaten. Ambiance was super centrally located

Very, very tasty, friendly staff, only the seating situation wasn't quite my thing, but that can vary per person. Overall, highly recommended, you should be hungry ;)

Super good sushi. We'll be back.

Service nice. Unfortunately the food was nothing special for the price and overpriced.

The food was very tasty and was served quickly. The sushi was really big, I didn't think so. I can only recommend the homemade iced peach tea! I also really liked the dessert (mochi ice cream). I would definitely come again.

Very tasty food and friendly staff The food was prepared and served quickly and we were asked several times if everything was OK. The taste of the food was excellent. Homemade IceTea Peach is our personal recommendation We'd love to come back next time we're in Cologne

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The ambience is narrow but fits the style. I was very disappointed with the taste of the ramen tempura and was expecting much more given the good reviews.

The food is super salty so that we could barely eat ramen and rice with chicken. The good thing was that they put lots of greens. But the salt was overwhelming 🤮🤢 The service is so-so as the waiters were not coming to get the order and couldn't respond to the questions whether the noodles or udon have gluten... 🙈 So never again.

Unfriendly staff, disrespectful 🐤

If you are looking for a nice atmosphere and want to get good ramen that is also beautifully prepared, this is the place for you. We were impressed by the food and will be back. Card payment possible. And yes, the ramen is one of the tastiest I have personally had in Cologne so far. And I like eating ramen ;-)

Great Asian restaurant in the center of Cologne. Here you can find ramen, wok dishes and sushi. The food was very tasty and the service in the restaurant was also great. We can highly recommend this shop. A tip: you should definitely make a reservation on the weekend. The store was completely booked.

Service is slow but the food tastes very good!!

Great Tonkotsu ramen and vegetarian Tonkotsu ramen! Mochi ice cream was good too!

Aufgrund der Bewertung haben wir uns für diese Restaurant entschieden. Alles was wir darüber gelesen haben stimmt. Top

Very tasty food, I can only recommend going here 😋

Very good restaurant, just a few minutes from Cologne Cathedral. It was busy even during the week, but we still got a table for 10 people. The prices are fair, the food was great and the atmosphere is modern, although it seems a little worn here and there. We had to wait about 40 minutes for our food, but it was definitely worth the wait. Overall, a recommended address!

We ordered ramen. I had imagined the noodles in the soup to be different (like from the ready-made bags in the supermarket 🫣), but they are more like spaghetti. My children had a ramen soup with brown broth, I personally didn't like this taste, but my children love it. I chose one with red curry paste and what can I say, I like it. I won't be a fan, but I'll stop by every now and then (I've been here three times now). There are fresh vegetables in the ramen soup. And I order a lava egg with it. You can eat with a wooden ladle, fork and spoon or with chopsticks. The restaurant is not comfortable, especially the seating. The service often overlooks you, but I think it's because of the pillars in the restaurant, so you don't have a good overview. Therefore it can sometimes take longer until you are served. But the dishes come very quickly. Everything is fresh. And the toilets are clean too.

We ordered ramen and there was spaghetti in it? Large portion, but I think it's overpriced. Deep fried chicken breast didn't taste fresh. Homemade ice tea was delicious. The waitress couldn't speak German properly and had some difficulties while ordering.

Abierto los domingos, que es un profesional. Espacioso y grande lugar. Personal rápido y agradable. Debería hacer la reserva con antelación ya que siempre está ocupado. Delicioso caldo en ramen. Debo probar el té caliente de jengibre y miel.

It took us a while to find the shop - as someone new to Cologne, it wasn't that easy as the location is a bit inconvenient. However, the food was very tasty! Not the best ramen I've ever had, but still absolutely enjoyable. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. Overall a good experience if you're nearby!

Nice selection of food and drinks, very nice service and delicious food. Prices really good for the portions and taste. 20-30 € per person including starter

The fire salmon mango sushi roll was tasty, but I liked the crunchy ebi roll much better!! Staff was friendly too!

Really nice place. Savoury food !

Food was really tasty and arrived quickly! Everything freshly prepared. The service was great! A little more expensive, but you'll be very full thanks to the large portions. Suitable for vegans & large selection in this area. :)

Das Essen war sehr lecker der einzige Schwachpunkt war der Schärfegrad, der etwas schwach ausgefallen ist. Sonst war alles perfekt.

The food was delicious, the price was good for Cologne and the service was also friendly.

After sitting at our table for a few minutes, we noticed a mouse running up and down in the kitchen. We informed the staff but they didn't seem surprised or worried. After eating I felt really uncomfortable with my stomach and after talking to one of the other guests who was with us he also had a similar experience but luckily not as bad as mine.

Tasty, not expensive, a little cool

We came for a late lunch around 15h and it was still very busy. We got a table and waited a bit for our server to come. However, once we ordered, our food came quickly. We had a very nice curry and udon noodles. The portions were correct. The food warmed us up on a chilly afternoon. It was also super conveniently located close to museums that we wanted to visit after. Everything was aggreeable and we would eat here again.

Our mother-daughter tip for good Asian cuisine.

Nice ramen restaurant in the shopping center. Pleasantly lit, friendly staff and delicious ramen with a good price-performance ratio.

⭐ 1 star Unfortunately an absolute disappointment. The sushi was the worst I've ever eaten - greasy, tasteless and obviously made from cheap ingredients. The entire atmosphere was unpleasant, it smelled like garbage, and the toilets were dirty. An absolute no-go: An employee (or the boss) came from the toilet, didn't wash his hands and only fastened his pants in the hallway. When you went out you could look into the open kitchen - unfortunately just as dirty. I definitely won't eat here again.

Rather average ramen - relatively bland taste with cold “lava egg”. Karaage very greasy but okay. Card payments starting at €30 are also unusual. I don't have to go there again.

Ordered, delivered incorrectly, didn't pick up the phone 20 minutes before the store closed to clarify the problem. What was delivered didn't taste good.

Super satisfied, delicious food, friendly staff!

The environment is nice, the prices are moderate. The sushi ingredients were chopped quite large and you could feel the cucumbers in your mouth. I found it a bit amateurish. Ramen was good, but there were deficiencies in its taste that I couldn't quite understand, I can't call it delicious. It's possible to go, but it's best not to keep your expectations high.
