Downtowner Korean Urban Restaurant in Köln

It was delicious. The service was excellent. And we felt very comfortable.

The food was delicious. An authentic Korean restaurant. Highly recommended!

Very tasty. Especially the dumplings.

Great Korean restaurant in Cologne. Much recommended for everyone visiting the city or living here.

The food was delicious, and we received expert advice and friendly service. We'd gladly come again :)

Very delicious food and friendly people! Again anytime!

Unfortunately, the online menu hadn't been updated, so we paid €17 for a vegetarian Dolsot Dubu Bibimbap, which was still listed on the website as €13.50 (price from November 2025). I informed the cashier, but received no further response. I've worked in the restaurant industry for many years, and there are some basic customer service standards that should be standard practice, such as not receiving an apology.

Very good food and nice service :)

Delicious food and friendly staff!

The food is authentic, service super friendly and the socks are the cutest ❤️❤️❤️

Very friendly staff. Great food, pleasant atmosphere. Everything was perfect here.

We come here regularly and always receive a warm welcome. The food, ambiance, and service are all excellent. Reservations are best on weekends.

Super delicious Korean food! The dishes are freshly prepared, authentic, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Korean cuisine.

Amazing Korean food! Everything's fresh, great flavor, and the staff is super friendly. I'll definitely be back! 😋

Everything was very tasty and the service was great. I'd go back.

This was our first time at this restaurant and we were very pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend it. Very tasty and a good selection. Service was very friendly. Thank you for the lovely dinner.

Great food, great service. We'd love to go back!

Banger service, banger food. I told my cranky girl to go shower while i went out to get some take-out from here. Came in and was greeted instandly. I was able to place my order and the server helped me with the correct order. After a short 10 minute wait and even some small talk (he was running the well packed front by himself) i got my food. Back in the hotel my girl took 1 bite and started crying. No joke, so good. Chickenwings(garlic) were spot-on and dumplings much the same. Fries crunchy and tasty. Good stuff. 10/10 would feed to my cranky girlfriend again.

Truly delicious Korean cuisine. Small menu, specializing in a few dishes. The yangnyeom and tukbaegi bulgogi are clear recommendations.

Very tasty and friendly service Would gladly return

No long wait and super delicious food! I'd be happy to go again.

Thank you so much for the delicious food and the great service!

Great, highly recommended, very good

Perfect place with delicius meals and nice service! Dont hésitate to come!

We had the vegetarian bowl, and the tofu was unfortunately far too dry, just like the rest of the food. The service seemed very annoyed, and we weren't even asked if everything tasted good. Far too expensive for the experience.

The food and service were great and I highly recommend a visit!

Delicious food and nice staff. The galbi dumplings are absolutely recommended

Really good Korean restaurant in Koln! Steamed beef dumplings were delicious! Nice drinks!

Korean cuisine isn't available everywhere, so come in. The food is cooked, COOKING! Placed on the table and served. Very pleasant, just as it should be. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and are delighted with this culinary experience, and all with 1Live in our ears—that's Cologne!

Really delicious and friendly staff

The food was delicious and arrived quickly. Some dishes can also be ordered vegan/vegetarian. Main courses range from €17 to €24. Drinks are also available, imported from Korea.

What a vibe. Super nice atmosphere, fresh and delicious food. A good selection of vegan dishes. This restaurant definitely knocks your socks off. But that's no problem cuz you can buy new ones in there. With crazy images on them.

Very tasty – we had the Korean fried chicken and bibimbap. Super relaxed atmosphere!

A super delicious restaurant. We were impressed by the Korean food (we had the boneless chicken half-and-half and the chicken wings half-and-half). The prices are a bit on the high side, but the food is of high quality. The staff was also very accommodating, and we got a good seat despite it being a Friday evening. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Yes, the waiters were really nice and the food was really delicious!

The food was delicious and the service was super friendly. We really enjoy eating here and will be back.

Super delicious food and great service!

Yes, very nice service and delicious food 😋

Love the vibe,Service and great Food

The chicken wings were really good! The service was very attentive and friendly! We'll be back. :)

They say they've everything Halal although they're serving pork. So by definition even if they've halal chicken and beef due to contamination with pork their food can't be considered halal.

The restaurant has very good service and super delicious food and the ambience is very pleasant and perfectly selected for the vibe

The meat was delicious, and the service was very friendly and took good care of the guests. Kamsahamnida

Top-notch service and top-quality meat. High praise!

Wonderful service and amazing food, highly recommended

Delicious and authentic Korean food

The food was incredibly delicious and arrived really quickly, but even waiting wasn't a problem because the atmosphere was very pleasant (I especially liked the lighting, not as bright as some other places). The service was also very friendly, so I can highly recommend this restaurant! I'll be back :)

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Food came out quickly and was fresh and delicious. Servers were very nice and speak both English and German. Plenty of seating indoor and outside.

The food and service were great! We'd love to come back next time we're in town :)

A must-do when eating in Cologne! ❤️

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff!

Excellent food and good service!

Great Korean restaurant, well-stocked and very good vegetarian Bibimpap, very friendly managers, a little bonus, finally a restaurant that plays the music not too loud, just right, we can hear each other!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredibly friendly and flexible service! I was offered a takeaway menu that isn't normally available to go – simply because my wife is in the hospital with our newborn. This personal gesture meant a lot to me. The food was, as always, excellent, fresh, and full of flavor. Many thanks to the team for their helpfulness and understanding – they really cater to their guests. Highly recommended!

It wasn't very busy, but it was very relaxed and the food was very good. I've been to several Korean restaurants in Cologne, but this is one of the best for me. The chicken and soup are delicious.

Amazing Halal food Highly recommended!

Highly recommended. For those who like spicy food and those who don't like it so much, you can also find something delicious (fried dumplings, for example). Top-notch food, very good service. Affordable!

Delicious! So Bulgogi is the best!

We spontaneously got a table for two, received excellent and attentive service, and the food was truly delicious. We'll be back!

Everything was perfect! 😀 The kimchi pancakes were especially delicious ❤️

Super delicious and authentic Korean food. We received very friendly service and helpful advice on our selection. We'd love to come back! ❤️

Very delicious Korean food! I had a great bibimbab! I'd gladly go again.

Delicious food in a beautiful setting with super friendly staff. See you soon.

The food is delicious. We had bibimbap and Korean fried chicken (half/half) once and can highly recommend it. The service was very friendly. We felt at home.

Korean restaurant on Cologne's longest shopping street. 😃 The ambiance is more suited to small groups. The Korean staff spends most of their time in the kitchen rather than serving food, but that's not a disadvantage. They're helpful and very friendly. Unfortunately, you'll have to ask around if you're unfamiliar with Korean food. Even though the menu doesn't boast a wide variety of dishes, you're sure to find something tasty. The portions are large, the food came very quickly, and it was delicious. But a bit too expensive! Hence only 4 stars. Still, a full recommendation 👌And don't drive there, as parking will be difficult.

Best korean food in köln, cheese buldak is great (and spicy)

Delicious food and friendly service

Super friendly service. The fried vegetable pancake is highly recommended – great value for money!

The fried chicken and dumplings (kimchi & beef) were delicious! Truly authentic Korean food.

Pleasant atmosphere, very friendly service. The menu offers only a few dishes, which I actually think is a good thing. The fried chicken was tasty, the bibimbab a bit bland. However, the deciding factor for the rather negative review are the prices. A 250ml can of soda doesn't have to cost almost five euros. A meal consisting of rice, vegetables, and tofu doesn't have to cost €17. Fried chicken with a couple of fries for €24 is pretty cheeky in my opinion. It's a shame; we won't be coming back.

Friendly service and authentic food. All in all, very good!

The bibimbap is highly recommended. It was delicious and the service was very friendly.

Super delicious food and friendly service. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and great music.

This was our first time here and we'll definitely be back. The food was delicious and the wait wasn't long. The service was extremely friendly. A well-deserved 5 stars!

Great, modern Korean restaurant! Tried (vegetarian) bibimbap for the first time, and it was delicious! The service was also great; we were served very kindly and everything about the preparation was explained in detail! We had a really nice evening and would love to come back!

I tried tteokbokki and bibimbap – both were absolutely delicious! The dishes were freshly prepared, well-seasoned, and had an authentic flavor. The service was also friendly and attentive. I also really liked the wide vegetarian selection. I'd love to come back!

The best Korean restaurant in Cologne, super delicious and the staff is extremely friendly!

We received a very friendly welcome when we went for dinner, and the service and advice were impeccable. The food was delicious! I can only recommend the restaurant. Thank you very much and best wishes from Switzerland.

Everything was great. Delicious food.

Super delicious! Friendly service. Generous portions! We'll be back!

The food was delicious! I'd love to go back :)

Very tasty but a bit overpriced. I had one main course, another small rice bowl, and a 0.33L non-alcoholic beer. The bill came to about €31. With the starter and dessert, it would have been over €40.

A pretty good Korean restaurant

A restaurant for anyone willing to pay €20-30 for fast food without feeling full AND drinking cheap Sinalco Cola. €20 for a small basket of chicken and eight carelessly thrown-on fries is a disgrace. Then charging over €5 for a tiny Sinalco Cola is just plain cheeky.

Very tasty and authentic food, good service, I'll be back. Highly recommend the vegetarian bibimbab.

Very tasty! The elderflower highball is highly recommended :)

Delicious food and reasonable prices

It was a wonderful evening with you and the best Korean food I've had outside of Korea. Thank you so much. You're amazing ❤️

Super service! We got there fifteen minutes too early, but the server still let us sit and was kind enough to let us look through the menus beforehand. We were a group of five — two meat eaters and three vegetarians— and we were able to get a full spread of sides and main dishes to share. Everything was delicious! Would definitely come again.

Very good and yelicious meal. Love it

The dishes were great! Very very tasty and surprisingly balanced! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely recommend it.

Very good Korean restaurant in this friendly neighborhood of Cologne. I recommend the delicious homemade kimchi and the Japchae (very generous, it will please even the most demanding gourmets)!

Super! Great food, super nice service and atmosphere! Thanks so much! My friends and I have been craving Korean food for a long time and we are super happy!

We really enjoyed the food and the staff was very friendly. We'd love to come back :)

This restaurant is an absolute must for anyone who loves Korean food in Cologne. From the service to the delicious and, above all, very fresh food, I can only recommend it to everyone.

Amazing Food with a good atmosphere

Best korean food in Cologne. Nice service staff too.

The food is authentic and delicious :)

Everything was great as always 🤩

The tteokbokki were super delicious and the waiter was really nice, I will definitely be back☺️
