Ginza Sushi & Grill in Köln

It has few highs, but more lows! We made a reservation for eight people and got a relatively good seat. The restaurant is quite large and located right under the roof. Unfortunately, there was hardly any air conditioning, and it was very warm in there. Sweating while eating, well, that's fine! Instead, the windows were open, which only made it warmer. Otherwise, the furniture is brand new, and the chairs and benches are comfortable. The service was beyond absent. There was no proper greeting or farewell. He spoke little to no German and wore headphones while working. That's unacceptable. Not only that, but the service didn't even do the minimum. Plates and bowls were piling up on our tables. Once in the two hours, three plates were taken away. It's hardly all-you-can-eat when you can only order five items in 15 minutes, and that within two hours. The concept is questionable. We would have expected 10 minutes. Who eats a 5-ounce shake and then waits 15 minutes? At least the tray menu was reasonably clear. It's problematic, of course, when several people order from one tray and no one knows who ordered what and everything ends up unevenly served on the plates. The sushi was of rather mediocre quality. They obviously skimped on the salmon. I don't usually see that in other restaurants. I also think it's unfair for the price. Some of the restrooms were broken and smelled unpleasant.

The food is fresh and delicious; I particularly like the seaweed salad combined with the sushi. The interior is quite modern. There's also a conservatory area, which I personally find cozy, although the interior of the shop itself is, of course, much nicer. I go there often and will continue to go back.

Best sushi in Cologne! Fresh fish, perfect rice texture and good service and stylish ambience – absolutely recommended!

Normally the food at all-you-can-eat buffets always tastes semi-good. Not here, however. The food tastes really, really good. I tried a lot of different things and everything tasted very good. The only thing I have to complain about is the price. For 2 people just under 90€. You have to consider beforehand whether it might be worth ordering the dishes individually.

Food was delicious. Service was okay but a bit slow. The ambience was okay too. I found it a shame that not all special rolls were included in the normal price.

Everything was great, I've never seen such a good all you can eat place. Prices are very fair and the food is very tasty, definitely a must

food was delicious, service was great

The worst restaurant i have been in my Life. Soooooooo discusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please go to a réal sushi restaurant , we ate nothing and paid 80 euros .

The sushi was very good and was ordered in rounds (8). All good so far, once I forgot to drink, which wasn't so bad. Would go again if I'm in Cologne again.

The food was okay, but not everything you ordered arrived or it took a long time.

Beautiful place 😇 nice staff 😊 good food, big choice 🥰

Staff very unfriendly and dubious. But the food was okay. I wouldn't come again.

Food and service are great. It is quite loud in the restaurant. Very warm in the sun and unfortunately they didn't implement the shading optimally.

Perfect meal. Great organization and service. However, ordering via tablet takes some getting used to.

Sushi is one of the best when it comes to sushi and grill shops. The service and ambience need improvement but are perfectly acceptable. If you want to eat delicious sushi, you can go here.

The service is great. Everyone was very nice, fast and reliable. It was quite busy but we were able to eat within 5 minutes of placing our first order. The food itself is also really good, there were some dishes that I find better elsewhere, but that can only be my own opinion. 5/5 justified

From the moment we came in the staff was nice but a blond, who we presume to be the manager, was very rude to the point that we decided not to spend a dime in this business.

We were there on Saturday evening with a group of 8. It was well attended, so the food and drinks took quite a long time. The service was still always responsive and friendly. The warm dishes were ok, a bit bland. The sushi was overall good for an all you can eat concept. No huge rolls and the rice wasn't sour.

All you can eat and the whole thing is halal (except duck and beef)! Finally you can enjoy chicken sushi without feeling guilty. Everything was super delicious! We were totally impressed by the selection and quality of the food. An absolute highlight for anyone who wants to eat halal.

Very tasty and great price ratio. It's great that you can choose between small and large all you can eat!

Despite having a reservation, we stood outside in a long line in front of the restaurant for half an hour. We'll never do that again.

The restaurant is disorganized, rude service, had to wait up to 40 minutes for food

With one of the worst sushis and Asian food I've ever eaten, even Rewe Sushi from just happy tastes a lot better, duck meat wasn't cooked through, and in general everything tasted very cheap, service was very unfriendly, and everything just boiled down to being quick. Drinks tasted like they were mixed with tablets. And €25 for that is disrespectful. Not a good restaurant

So for an all u can eat I can tell you I almost starved - this wasn't because there wasn't enough to eat, no, this was because the staff and service staff were completely overwhelmed. Waiting for my drinks was even worse, but I have to praise the lemonades were good. The table next to us wanted to leave again because we had completely lost track of what we had ordered and then at some point we felt full, so we had them eaten with us. Finally, after every All u Can eat there is also the toilet test CONCLUSION: Toilets resemble the tunnel system from Hijacked after 3 volleys with the M8A1.

It's just very expensive for 2 people I paid 97 euros supposedly all can you eat

Cool place. Just too expensive. And the service is not bad.

Very good food and quick service. Gladly again.

Food was delicious and the service was friendly

It has now become my favorite restaurant! Waiting times have always been short and the food is very tasty and of good quality. From the fish to the meat and the squid rings - everything is awesome! Only the cucumber salad disappointed me a bit, although I didn't order it myself, I just ate it and if we're honest - who cares about cucumber salad in a restaurant like this... Drink prices are okay and the prices for the small and large menu are absolutely reasonable. If my wife wasn't pregnant and sadly had to go without sushi, we would come every week :P

Sushi made easy. Ordering tablets every 15 minutes is completely sufficient. Advantage: You see a photo and know what you are getting. Taste 1A. I ate the best chicken gyoza there so far. Price within limits. I'll be back.

Good selection, tasty food, comes quite quickly. Sushi is very good. Service is friendly. Overall a very good impression. Have been here several times.

Staff: Very nice, our third visit, Food: very tasty

Super delicious!! I recommend taking the large menu because that's where the tastiest things are. But for now even the small one is enough. You always have to order the same menu for each table! The restaurant has really become our favorite. We love being here again and again.

I found a favorite restaurant<3. The staff are extremely friendly. I had a splinter in my finger and they all helped me a lot. Of course the food was also super delicious. It was a great experience and I can only recommend it!!!

Food: GREAT, service very "monosyllabic", nicely decorated and enough space! Ordering with the tablet takes some getting used to, but it works well. Unfortunately a bit expensive.

There is a lot to choose from, but the quality of many dishes is lacking. Sushi was ok. I can recommend the baked banana. However, half of what we ordered was forgotten. For the price I wouldn't go back.

rude on the phone just hang up in your face and disrespect the customers

Very friendly team. The kitchen closes at 10:30 p.m. and we arrived shortly beforehand and without discussing much, they set the timer down to 5 minutes so that we could order more in that time. I've been to many sushi restaurants, but you really can't beat this. The food and atmosphere are really great. The large selection of food and all kinds of sushi invites you to have a really great experience.

Great store, always happy to come back. 😉

The food and the sushi selection are the normal standard. In some cases, ordered products were simply not brought to the table and only when we asked were we informed that the products were not in stock. Just seemed a bit dispassionate. We won't be coming back.

So first of all, the food is actually quite good. But that's where the positive ends. Sometimes you wait forever for the reorders, so the prescribed 2 hour ordering time is quickly over if you don't reorder BEFORE the actual first round is even completely here. Because sometimes things from the first round ordered arrived almost 1.5 hours later or not at all. In the lobby (right next to our tables) there were children sitting around loudly chatting on theirs. Played shooting games on cell phones and were obviously part of the staff. (Of course children have to be somewhere, but maybe not necessarily alone in the lobby for 2 hours. Drinks were only brought after we spoke to them again and and and. So the whole system with tablet orders seems to be implemented rather poorly than well.

Compared to other sushi all-you-can-eat restaurants that also work with tablet ordering, it initially takes quite a long time until the first order is brought to the table. At the end, a lot of dishes come at once, some even from the first courses. Some things didn't come at all. Some things were also brought to other tables or we were brought things that we hadn't ordered. But I have to say, the sushi tasted very good and it seemed fresh. All in all a really good sushi restaurant.

Absolute disaster! I wouldn't recommend any sushi lover to eat here as the food just isn't good in terms of taste. Additionally I have to say that the service is very poor as the waiters lack friendliness and respect, very unprofessional shop, I won't come here again.

The food is great, but the waiting times are not okay. After placing an order, you sometimes wait longer than 30 minutes. So you don't get 8 laps in the given time, but in our case 4 laps.

You can eat good sushi there. Food was fine and staff was friendly. Some were very friendly, but one was less friendly and said little. We had reserved in advance and upon arrival we had to wait 10 minutes. That was no problem, we were treated kindly.

Food was not good didnt taste japanese at al so after 2 rounds we payed and went home the only thing that was good was the gyoza. Would not recomend. Service was good.

The shop was full, but you can't wait 40-50 minutes for the second round and then the food tastes as if it had been reheated 10 times before in old fat. Only the sushi was delicious. When after the third round there was still hardly anything, we just wanted to leave. Paid full price for half of the things not even arriving and leaving you hungry. I've never experienced anything like that. Quality definitely trumps quantity and unfortunately Ginza couldn't deliver that. Definitely my last visit!

Okay, the store was full, but if you say 3/4 times that there's still a lot missing from the first round and you don't get any feedback, that's really bad. I can understand that the waiters themselves are annoyed/stressed when it's full, but of course it's also stupid for the customers, who then wait hungry for their food and not everything they order arrives (especially if you... mentioned several times). The food that arrived was good.

Sometimes it's a real disaster. Waiting times of 15-40 minutes for some dishes. Some things are always missing and you have to report them every time. So you sometimes spend 30-60 minutes on a round even though you are limited in time... Some of the sushish aren't even rolled properly. Too bad.

Yummy Delicious You can't do 8 rounds because the food stuffs very well and it tastes very fresh and, if not already mentioned, also very tasty.

It's a really nice buffet restaurant. You can order food every 15 minutes. You can't finish it in 8 rounds. It tastes good too.

Bestes All you can eat in Köln! Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Essen kommt schnell frisch warm und lecker an den Tisch. Bestellen übers IPad super einfach. Sind mit Familie und Freunden jedes Jahr da.:)

We were there for the first time and everything was very fresh and delicious, you have 2 hours to eat, but it gets full after 1 hour, the big all you can is overpriced per person and then without drinks!! . supposedly 40 more things to choose from at Big??? once and never again :)

Fast, delicious, simply the best tooopppp I'm addicted

Nicely decorated. The food tastes good. The staff lacks a nice uniform :). Staff is nice and helpful. With parking in the area is difficult.

Very loud. Occasionally it takes time.

The food is delicious and fresh, the service is excellent and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very cozy and inviting! Always happy!👍🏽

Everything tip top as usual! Very satisfied every time. The operators absolutely deserve as many guests during the week as on the weekend!

I ordered sushi there, the sushi was extremely tasty, the delivery was super fast and the price was more than reasonable!

Everything very fresh and delicious!!!! Friendly staff. Huge selection. We'll be back🤤🤤🤤🤤

Every staff member except for one young girl is incredibly rude, disrespectful and in a bad mood.

When we visited Cologne, we chose this all you can eat restaurant based on the good reviews and were not disappointed. The sushi was really tasty 👍, I only deducted a star from the food because everything “meaty” (lamb chop, chicken, shrimp…) was pretty dry or even tough. Maybe it was just like that that day 🤷🏻‍♀️, maybe we'll be able to test it again at some point. Overall, definitely recommended - great ambience, friendly service, very clean, very large selection of the large all you can eat. Another tip: Be sure to try the homemade lemonade, it was delicious 😋

The food is excellent, good service and the ambiance is lovely

All very good. Too bad there isn't a slightly cheaper lunch menu.

We all really enjoyed the food, from sushi to dessert. Before that I always went to Okinii but that's changing now. We'll be back.

Food is nothing special. Over half of the orders do not arrive

Super delicious food. Very tasty sushi. Order via tablet and price is completely okay. Definitely worth it.

Today I was there for the third time and this time I was very surprised by the food, very fresh and appetizing. The orders came to the table very quickly despite the restaurant being full. Definitely recommended :)

Great atmosphere and one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to!! Worth recommending, the beef was extremely tender and the green cheese rolls were our favorites.

For an all you can eat Japanese restaurant, the quality here is consistently good. The selection, especially of sushi, is comparatively large, but it still feels less like conveyor belt sushi than in other restaurants. We always enjoy coming here. Don't let the somewhat ugly building put you off.

good sushi. but there were a lot of people there and we waited a long time first for the menu and then for the order.

Food good. A small criticism is air-conditioned rooms.

A very nice decorated restaurant, with a very nice service. The food was also really great. I can only recommend it. Would eat there again

This might actually be my favorite restaurant, the staff is kind and very generous, the place is so fancy (definitely date material), although they sometimes would forget one or two things from the items we ordered they apologize and fixed the issue and gifted me large drink when I ordered a small one, i’m definitely coming back again 1000/10

There were two of us there today. Much too hot unfortunately no air conditioning we could hardly eat two rounds of real food ordered but since it was so hot in there you could hardly eat it's basically a sauna I would strongly recommend that the restaurant install air conditioning so it's no fun in the heat. But the mint lime lemonade was very, very tasty. The food is also delicious, but I think the portions are very large and you'll quickly get full. The portions need to be smaller.

Super tasty and fresh. I'll be back again

The food is really good and the place is very clean and beautifully designed... the waiting time until you get your “card” (tray), at least for us, was almost 15 minutes and everyone had to take the “big all you can eat”. A few at our table all wanted to eat, which unfortunately wasn't particularly well regulated... The waitress said you could swap the food back and forth. I can understand this statement, but just because you eat at a table you shouldn't think that you want to leave the store

Highly recommended to enjoy mainly with family and friends.

As in many other shops, you can order your food using a tablet per round. The sushi was good and the grilled things were very good. You'll get full after 4-5 rounds. The service was good, but sometimes the food was delivered to the wrong table, which can easily happen with a lot of orders. You have to pay extra for the drinks, which is fine since the buffet costs 25 euros. What bothered me was the tea, which wasn't fresh. When it comes to Asian food, I expect tea with fresh herbs instead of tea bags from the supermarket. It would also be practical if you could make the selection in advance and send the order after 15 minutes, as choosing takes time.

Food is good, room very warm as there is no air conditioning. Staff not really fast with drinks, but with sushi.

All you can eat....8 courses of 5 small dishes each...very varied, super tasty, salad, e.g. seaweed salad, salmon salad😍Sushi, chicken in batter or fried, noodle bowl, vegetable rice and much more...desserts... .everything lovingly prepared and served, tasted perfect. You'll be full by the time you reach 5th gear, you'll hardly believe it, but that's how it is. Highly recommended, I would love to visit this restaurant again ❤️❤️❤️

Service was excellent, the food is served quickly and you don't have to wait that long. Everything is clean and nice and of course nice staff 👏🏻

All in all ok, the price is rather too high for the quality! Sushi rice wasn't perfectly seasoned! More like mass sushi for just under €40 pp without drinks is crazy! Don't expect an all-you-can-eat sensation, but at least expect a little more quality

First of all, I wanna say that the location is a bit off, we had a small trouble finding it. The atmosphere was nice and the food was fine. They served the dishes hot so it’s good but the sushis were a bit dry (I tried all the sushis) I also tried all the desserts, the best is greentea ice cream. We went there a bit late, therefore I felt a bit of pressure from the staff but all in all, 7.8/10.

All you can eat is amazing, tender beef fried with vegetables and served in a sauce that still makes me dream about the taste today. The lamb chops are also highly recommended, as is the fruit bowl Gladly again

The food is indescribable in the negative sense that the sushi was kind of limp. The drinks were all non-carbonated, cola, etc. Service is also a disgrace. First of all, cola is spilled on me and my cell phone and they don't even apologize. The food is brought out and it slips on the table and is left lying around. Again, no apology. The ice cream at the end was not edible because there was a fly or something similar in the ice cream. No recommendation and I won't go there again.

Super leckeres sushi all You can eat!

The food was very tasty and the service was very good

Simply good... you get what you expect.

It was a Mother's Day gift from the children and they were also very kindly congratulated 💝💝💝. The food, the people, the ambience everything was beautiful. Thank you very much for the lovely day. 🤗🤗🤗

Does the business expect customers to eat all meals with their hands? Was it very difficult to put a fork or spoon into a bag? Also, there was no napkin to wipe our hands. There was no fork or napkin in the meal I paid 36 Euros😱😃. The food was delicious also.

Great place for sushi in Köln ❤️ Keep in mind it’s not extremely cheap! If you want to eat everything from the menu, you have to pay 33 Euro 💶 per person! But the sushi is really delicious 😋! Feedback for the kitchen: #Drinks should be cold for the guests 😀 Thanks again - we had a great evening - we will come back!!"

You were fooled by the high rating, but in vain! Why such high praise for this place? This is mistake!!! The taste is sooooo mediocre, and in some dishes it’s simply terrible (kimchi, for example, or Peking duck). Staff in sports and beach suits. There is no service at all. It's not worth your money, reviews are most likely bought.

The food wasn't that fresh, some of it was frozen, or a lot of the things in the middle were still cold/frozen. The restaurant is beautiful and modern.

We've been there several times and always leave full :-)

Service friendly Sushi great Drinks too warm Toilets, that's not possible Disco music with dinner We have been here many times and this is the last time

Unfriendly service. Nobody spoke to us. The facial expressions said it all. Food, well

We ate very well and everything was very fresh.

Very tasty food and a large selection (including vegan dishes) Service is great and the atmosphere is also very cozy. You can eat there in large and small groups and have a great time.

Das Restaurant liegt in einem ansonsten verlassenen Center. Das ist aber auch eigentlich wuscht. Im Laden selbst ist es echt angenehm. Der Service ist wirklich schnell und mit dem Tablet bestellt, kommt alles schnell an den Tisch. Das Essen ist richtig gut. Eine sehr gute Alternative zu Okinii, vor allem, weil dort die Qualität nachgelassen hat.
