Drachen City in Köln

A great Chinese restaurant with a sufficient selection at the buffet at lunchtime!!😋😋 You can eat very well here for 17.90 euros!! The food is always replenished quickly!! The service is very attentive and friendly!! The ambience is appealing and functional!! A good recommendation for people who love Asian cuisine!!🤗🤗

We were there for the second time. We liked it on our first visit because the food was delicious. At the weekend she had simply turned off this strange fan heater at half past seven and it was getting colder and colder in the room. Several guests had complained and some had put on their jackets. When I asked the waitress about it, there wasn't a word about it, just a condescending smile. What an unpleasant restaurant. Definitely not again.

The selection wasn't very extensive, but the problem was that all the guests had diarrhea afterwards. Funny coincidence.

A MUST when you're in downtown Cologne and you're hungry. There is a Chinese buffet here at fair prices and a huge selection... starter, main course and dessert, everything you could wish for. The buffet is regularly refilled and if you're not careful, you'll go home with a pot belly. Absolutely top.

Food is good because it is self-service Through walk-in customers like a fast food restaurant. But always clean 🤙

Great restaurant Everything was top👍🏻

Eating a bit unhygienic but still tasty

They have a very poor customer service. We arrived from London very late and someone directed us there. I just wanted to ask if we can order and take away. They didn’t even listen to me, one ordered me to wait in the queue and refused to listen to me the other one also ordered me to wait whilst she puts on her lipstick 💄 and after doing that she pointed someone for me to speak with. The other one also refused to answer and ordered us to join the queue. I found these attitude of them very rude and bias. You can’t do this in London, it could be because I was speaking English but this should not be a barrier to a good customer service. When we meet people who do not speak English in London we offer our help until we meet their needs. Over all service was 0

Small restaurant ideal for people who want to eat simple all you can eat

Delicious food and friendly staff very nice

I've been here a few times and haven't had anything to complain about so far. There is a good selection for vegetarians and the food always tastes good. The buffet is manageable but completely sufficient.

The selection is limited, but every dish is prepared with quality and tastes excellent. Not a mass seller, but a little pearl for connoisseurs.

Chinese food of course but done well with a good choice. fruit and ice cream included. logically the buffet would be quite expensive per dish as in general.. shipped week 15.99 Saturday and Sunday 17.99.. drinks separately.. a 40cl draft beer 5.60 a little expensive for cologne. 2 buffets plus 1 beer 40.00..

Absolutely good food. Perfectly seasoned, very tender meat and, above all, always fresh due to the relatively small warming container. I would love to come back without reservations.

Was there for the second time in November. Very nice people. Small, fine buffet with something for everyone. I have already recommended it and it is very good for the price.

Good buffet with delicious Chinese food. Will visit again next trip to Cologne.

Overall, the food was okay, your average Chinese. However, the service was terrible. Honestly I felt discriminated against. The woman owner thanked the other patrons for dining at this establishment, but was VERY RUDE towards us and did not thank us. I believe she was upset we wanted to pay with card and she made it incredibly obvious, which was totally unnecessary and inappropriate when we are paying customers. Don’t come here if you don’t cash, or if you are foreign. You will not be treated well.

Friendly service. The buffet had a relatively large selection. Price/performance was totally ok. It was ok for just something to eat.

Unpleasant staff, plates were not cleared and we had to wait 20 minutes for the bill. During this time, waiters and waitresses walked past the table several times and ignored our questions. When the bill finally came (€42.20), I paid with a fifty in cash. I was given back €6 and the waitress said: “Fifty”. When I asked to give me the correct change, the remaining €1.80 was slapped onto the table in 10 and 20 cent pieces. I have never experienced anything like this in my life and yes with normal service I tip more than 10%! I can only recommend you go to the Sushi Bar next door, you'll be happier there than at Drachen City.

I always eat here. The service is top and the restaurant is always busy. Food very tasty.

Quite cheap restaurant. Food delicious. Buffet is good and constantly replenished. Hospitality is not really the case. You clearly notice that you should eat quickly and leave quickly. The owners care about the number of guests in order to earn a lot. We didn't feel very comfortable.

It was very busy. You had to wait until a place was made for you. The food was also disappointing. Choice is not too much. Place is centrally located. Whether it was fun, perhaps if the number of people was a little less.

Very friendly and very tasty food

A very beautiful restaurant, fresh and good food but a small buffet. But it was worth it. I liked

So I thought the buffet was really okay. Nothing earth-shattering but really solid for the price.

Great restaurant, top price and great food😊

Delicious food at an absolutely fair price

Super nice service and the food tastes great.

Chinese buffet restaurant with reasonable price-performance ratio. The selection and taste of the food is absolutely ok.

A very nice Chinese restaurant But the selection from the buffet could be a little better, and some of the food was cold. I've had better buffets for around €16. For people who don't have such high expectations, it's quite nice.

Tried the all you can buffet. Highly recommended.

The food was rich and very tasty. Even the Asian tourists went to eat there. The staff was extremely friendly. We would love to come back!

Great from start to finish. Always fresh food, great selection, thank you!

Very tasty and friendly, competent staff.

Unlike similar stores in China, the one in Cologne is well laid out, with a wide selection if you're into Chinese food. Once again I was very pleased.

Unfortunately it was very loud and crowded. We took advantage of the buffet offer. But the food was rather mediocre. I won't go there anymore.

I have rarely experienced such attentive and helpful staff as there. Since I rely on an electric wheelchair and the restaurant is accessible via stairs, I had already resigned myself to not being able to get in. But then a very nice waiter came with a mobile ramp and helped me get into the restaurant.

So the ambience was the nicest as others have already rated, good mood nil Food was filled exshnlee but it wasn't good The best thing was a waitress dropped a full wheat jar behind me, anything could happen and my pants were hit Not a word to me, nothing, no apology, no drink on the house, no accomodation

I had the best time of my life there and the food was great 🥰

Buffet at a reasonable price with reasonable quality. Even though there wasn't the biggest selection, the food was delicious, the service was very good and you felt comfortable :)

Nice buffet but not very friendly staff.

The buffet was rich. The meat juicy. Price performance ratio is right. Will come back.

Nice all you can eat buffet. With a standard Chinese restaurant buffet that existed 15 years ago. I was always looking for something like that. Except Chinese. There are almost no walls left.

Very small restaurant and small selection, which I really liked. The staff were very friendly and the food was very tasty

The food was super good, fresh and not too processed with flavor enhancers. Everything was there, a bit of everything and it was very good value for money. Apart from the fact that the Peking soup that evening tasted burnt, everything else was very good. I found the service shockingly unfriendly, I was hit by the dining car and there wasn't even an apology from the lady. Greetings and farewells were very dry or not at all. A great place for very introverted people in any case.

The waitress was completely unfriendly because we wanted to order from the menu and she indirectly pushed us to the buffet. In addition, the quantity was not justified for the price

Delicious food, not recommended on weekends as it gets very crowded and confusing. Recommendation! goes there during the week

There are much better restaurants

There were four of us there. The quality of the food left a lot to be desired. The baked duck was more of a soup duck with lots of bacon. After I ate, I had severe diarrhea. Never again!

Was there for the first time. Food was good and tasty!

The food was okay... but I don't have to go there again.... The toilets were a disaster. The restaurant and ambience looked neat and clean.

Great location. Right in the city and yet in a mostly quiet side street. Small but very tasty buffet.

Cool Chinese restaurant. Tasty, cozy and great! The price is good and the service is good. The opening hours are even better😁. I recommend visiting this place, you won’t regret it! It’s close to the station, in the center of the shop city.

We had a very good experience with our order. Drachen City made the effort to prepare our food vegan, the staff was very friendly, everything was very clean and tasty. If we are in Cologne again, we will definitely come back. Thank you!

Very friendly and attentive service. Dishes always fresh and typically “Chinese” buffet. Ambiance As usual... Very good value for money

Tastes are different. For us, however, it was under-seasoned and overcooked. The soup was just sweet. Positive: what was empty was always quickly refilled. Attention: Toilets in the basement can only be reached via stairs. Elevator cannot be used/broken.

It was very tasty and the price was right. Ended up there by chance.

Such friendly staff. Super delicious food. I'll definitely come back again.

It was very tasty and very beautiful. I can recommend it.

Atmosphere like in a fast food restaurant, unfortunately. The food is delicious and varied. Vegetables didn't taste good. Buffet €17.90 0.5l gaff €4.40 Is well attended, toilets okay

Food is ok. Apart from the language barrier, I find it rude that the waiters tell us straight after eating that our table is needed for others. We were only there for 1 hour. Never again .

Little to no vegan options. Food was more like 0815.

Je suis allé dîner dans ce restaurant asiatique en mode buffet, et l'expérience a été loin d'être agréable. La qualité des plats était franchement médiocre, rien de très savoureux, beaucoup de produits semblaient manquer de fraîcheur. Ce qui a vraiment gâché la soirée, c'était le service. La serveuse était extrêmement désagréable dès notre arrivée. Elle nous a donné l'impression que notre simple présence la dérangeait, sans parler de son insistance maladroite pour que nous payions en liquide à la fin du repas, ce qui était franchement déplacé. Le pire de tout, c’est qu’elle a bousculé notre bébé à plusieurs reprises sans même s’excuser correctement, comme si c’était normal. C'est inacceptable dans un endroit où l’on s’attend à un minimum de courtoisie et de respect. Je ne reviendrai certainement pas et je déconseille ce restaurant à quiconque cherche à passer un moment agréable.

Horrible à fuir!!!!! Serveuse hautain, très peu de choix de nourriture de plus c’était infecte Très petite salle, nous étions très serré, assiettes et couverts sale

Always a great buffet👍🏼 Can't complain.

Very nice restaurant, nice service, always a friendly word. I've been going there for years.

Was very tasty. Friendly service, everything was great. Price performance also completely recommended

1000% recommended, the best in Colonia to eat for only €16 full buffet unlimited repetitions, great variety, excellent service, they also have desserts and bathrooms. Nice decoration, if you go to Köln you can't stop eating here, you won't regret it, it's worth every penny

Super lecker und schnelle Platzreservierung :) Wir sind schon das zweite Mal hier und es war wieder super lecker. Beim letzten Mal waren wir nur auf Durchreise und es war schnell ein Platz frei und die Bedingungen sind super freundlich. Genau wie heute. Immer wieder eine Empfehlung wenn man in Köln ist.

Were regular customers before Corona. Great restaurant. The food is really tasty and the staff are very friendly and competent.

Very little choice of food, service didn't do anything although there was a mouse under our tables which was a shame.

Deserved zero stars, couldn't get a seat despite a reservation, staff unfriendly and incomprehensible.

The food is the same as usual buffet restaurants. Price performance is completely OK. It's clean and the staff is friendly. Overall, a good restaurant where you can eat in a good atmosphere.

Very tasty food from the buffet

Really good buffet, friendly service and pleasant atmosphere are good reasons to eat here. We come back often and I can highly recommend the restaurant!

Small Chinese all you can eat restaurant. The selection was clear, but there was something for everyone and the price, 15.90 euros per person, was really good value. The location is a bit hidden. The service was very friendly and attentive. Recommended!

delicious food, good selection, excellent service staff very well attended so a bit noisy

Sie lehnen Gäste ab, die alleine kommen, obwohl der ganze Laden leer ist. Zuerst wird gefragt, wieviele Personen sind Sie, bei Antwort eine Person lautet die Antwort „alle Tische sind reserviert“. Absolutes No Go !

The employee asks how many people are you. I say I'm alone. The employee then says all tables are reserved! The entire store was EMPTY except for two deep.

Food was tasty, service was ok. The selection at the buffet was a bit small

Had a delicious lunch buffet. Great for little.....

Very tasty there, very large buffet. Every time we are in Cologne we go there to eat.

Solid westernized chinese buffet, there is a wide selection of food and the ones I tried were relatively tasty. Very affordable as well.

So awesome, I've never been around anywhere

The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a Chinese style. It's a small restaurant with a small buffet. The staff is very nice and also very quick when it comes to clearing used plates from the table. For a price of currently €17.90 on the weekend for the buffet plus drinks, it's totally fine.

"Drachen City" in Cologne is a Chinese restaurant that is characterized by its extensive buffet concept. Instead of a classic menu, the restaurant offers its guests a wide selection of dishes presented in buffet style. The buffet is impressive and offers a variety of dishes that reflect the diversity of Chinese cuisine. From starters such as spring rolls and dim sum to main courses such as crispy duck, various wok dishes and fried rice to a selection of desserts - everyone will find something to their taste here. Particularly noteworthy is the freshness of the dishes on offer. The buffet is regularly refilled so that the dishes are always fresh and attractively presented. The ambience at Drachen City is traditional and cozy, which contributes to a relaxed dining experience. The decor is simple but tasteful, with touches of Chinese decoration creating a pleasant atmosphere. The service in the restaurant is friendly and courteous. Although it is a self-service concept, staff are always present to help with questions or refill drinks. The price-performance ratio is very good. For a fixed price you can try out the entire variety of the buffet, which is particularly attractive for guests who would like to try out different dishes. In summary, "Drachen City" in Cologne is an excellent choice for Chinese cuisine lovers who want to enjoy a varied and fresh buffet in a relaxed atmosphere.

Good selection of food and nice service

Staff friendly, food delicious and always refilled, price-performance ratio perfectly fine. I go there more often.

A wonderful Chinese restaurant with good service and delicious food. There is everything, even teramisu. You can have a great meal for 15 euros

Unfortunately with an infestation of mice, but with very nice service

Super delicious food Really super friendly staff Highly recommended if you want to eat out for a small price and there is also plenty if you want to take the kids with you!

We were happy for Cologne but couldn't be compared with Düren

There was a lot of oil in the food, the crispy duck wasn't crispy because it was floating in the water. In general the buffet was poor. Service could also use a little friendliness and a smile.

Rich buffet, very tasty. The service is very attentive.

It’s delicious. I feel instantly alive after eating Chinese food (but some dishes may be too sweet. I’m from Guangzhou and I think beans are too sweet.

Good food, fast service. Offers a buffet

A very nice shop and delicious food there 🙂

The food was very over-seasoned and the selection was very limited, otherwise quite ok

Food quite good but that's the only positive point, little choice, we were placed at the entrance with the doors remaining open and 30 degrees outside it was unpleasant!! Waitress not very friendly.

MUST EAT! They have literally everything, from the best cooked shrimps to different kind of chicken and duck, to the tiramisu and fruits, fried bananas…it’s such a steal
