Gogi Matcha Korean Restaurant in Köln

Authentic cuisine, fast service and extremely tasty.

Very tasty food, nice service. You should just make a reservation. Went there spontaneously and were lucky to get the last free table

It's delicious It is one of the best Korean foods in the world. However, due to lack of staff, the wait may be long or it may take a while to place your order. I highly recommend the food taste. Jeyuk Bulgogi Kimchi is close to the original taste.

The best chicken I've ever eaten! Without exaggeration! Very tasty, very nice! Can't wait for my next visit.

Food tasted good. Unfortunately the quality of the meat was poor, there was gristle and a lot of fat and wobbly stuff around it. The dish as such tastes very tasty. However, all the cartilage spoiled the fun a bit because you were pulling a lot. The service was quite nice but even worse than ever. We responded to the criticism regarding the cartilage with the argument that there was a lot going on and it was done quickly and quickly. We would give the place another chance because it wasn't potentially bad.

It's really delicious! The Korean owner is so kind! Soft tofu, chicken, and buldak are all delicious.

Authentic Korean food, I can highly recommend the Korean Fried Chicken! The portions are definitely filling! And the delicious drinks from Korea are also very good!

Very tasty food and extremely attentive service.

Yangnyeom chicken and dwenjang jiggae could have been tastier. When it comes to chicken, the price is right because the pieces are relatively large but there are too many potatoes. Dwenjangjiggae is disrespectfully small for 14 euros and the taste is also very bland. Kimchijeon was very tasty. Mandu was ok.

The staf is super friendly, the food is great. A great place to get acquainted with Korean food as they serve many different delicious things.

Clear recommendation from me and my companions... we were looking for a restaurant whose cuisine we didn't know and spontaneously went to the Korean restaurant. What can I say? All of our dishes were delicious. The service was excellent and friendly. A top restaurant. The only thing that could be improved is to maybe add pictures to the menu so that you can see the dish beforehand...

Good and simple Korean cuisine. Fast service. We'll be back

Nice Korean restaurant! We enjoyed the tasty dishes for a fair price! Smooth and enthusiastic service. Highly recommended. (And our dog was allowed in the restaurant) We will definitely go back!

Excellent food and service, I was even offered a complimentary drink.

Great and authentic Korean street food. Service is friendly, it tastes really great. Really big portions too. Drink selection, small and rather basic. If you pay in cash you will only receive an interim invoice. You will only receive a final receipt upon request. Strange.

I wouldn't say I liked this place. It was not pleasant, and the food was too fatty (oily) and not spicy, even kimchee pancakes. Service was nice, by the way. 45€ for 2 persons: 3 dishes and 2 drinks

I tried the Bulgogi at Gogi Matcha Korean Restaurant in Cologne. It was decent but nothing surprising, so I’d give it 7/10 considering the price/portion

Good place. Food was tasting good, but also not extraordinary. Service was quick and friendly. The place is normal, not the most comfortable.

This shop advertises halal chicken so heavily that I trusted them. However, they do this without having a certificate ready. I received one upon request, but it says lamb meat. Lamb is not offered there. Even if it does, the Instagram page explicitly emphasizes that ONLY the chicken is halal. The certificate is therefore not trustworthy and neither is Gogi Matcha. After pointing this out, they told me they would request a new certificate. I asked for feedback, which was confirmed. In the meantime almost 3 weeks have passed. My last message was seen and ignored. I do not recommend this store!

Very nicely and comfortably furnished. There is always something to see on the wall paintings and the path to the toilets is very colorful and creatively designed. The tofu with the homemade teriyaki sauce is easy to eat, just like the other dishes. The staff is nice, insightful and helpful, you immediately feel at home. The price-performance ratio is right. All in all it is worth recommending.

A Korean restaurant located right near the station. I was able to eat decent Korean food at a reasonable price. The restrooms were separate for men and women and clean. The store staff are also kind ◎

Very tasty food, can be recommended at any time! Just reading the map is a challenge., sooo small print :-)

The Korean Fried Chicken was too good, the bulgogi beef as well. Great Staff and good service, I'll definitely come back

Food 10/10 Service 7/10 (could have been more attentive) Waiting time 0/10 (because of the long waiting time there was a drink on the house, but almost 2 hours until the main course was still too long and hunger was ignored)

Shortly before the end of the day you will receive a warm welcome. Taste, quality & quantity is a 10/10. Unfortunately I wasn't there for a long time but it was always GREAT. For a parking space you can park opposite the main train station without any problems. :)

Amazing food, very large portions and super friendly wait staff. There was a mix up with our reservation but it was made up to us really fast and we left more than happy!

Probably the best Korean restaurant in all of Cologne. Great service and super delicious food and the staff are top!

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. The menu is annoying. Written in Arial with font size 2. Hardly readable and what you can read is not understandable. But highly recommended.

The food is exceptionally good. The staff is very helpful and well trained. The only small flaw is that the atmosphere is a bit noisy.

The price-performance ratio in this restaurant is not right. Food dipped in fat for expensive money. It was a mistake to order here.

I liked it, the food was delicious, the service was great! For my standards, there are a lot of influencers and Birkenstock wearers. But the store can't do anything about it. Gladly again

We came to the restaurant and only had a short time to eat something. When we asked, we specifically checked how many dishes still needed to be prepared before ours. The food was served super quickly (about 10 minutes) and tasted excellent. We would have liked to have had more time to enjoy the food even better and can only warmly recommend the shop.

Unfortunately, the fried chicken is no longer as tasty as it used to be. Hardly any sauce and therefore dry. It was my favorite local Korean for a long time, which was a shame

I have had many wonderful and delicious Korean meals around the world. This wasn’t one of them. The staff is truly friendly but the food is lacking.

Great service and good quality 👌

Here they have very tasty Korean Fried Chicken and Jeyuk Bokkeum (had a lot of spice, but tasty)!! I also like the banchan that comes with it. Overall, good value for money The beautifully painted/written walls in GogiMatcha somehow give the whole thing a nice, cozy and somehow personal touch (and remind me of Asia). The service is super friendly (and even jumped to the side to help when out of the corner of my eye I was seen trying out my rusty napkin folding skills with limited success while waiting for food — thanks again! 😅😂🙏）

Awful place, went there like 4 times to ask them to be quiet because they have parties till 4-5 am and then don't give a damn. We keep calling police on them but it also doesn't work. We will still keep calling them tho till the restaurant changes something

Great spot for Korean fried chicken. The restaurant also offers a variety of selections apart from the chicken. The restaurant tends to be busy most of the time so it is best to make a reservation before coming. Takeaway is also available.

Just a reminder* you can only pay with cash if it’s under 25 euros. They don’t take card payment unless it’s more than 25 euros. I went there to eat by myself and had to walk out lol

It's my first time here, the food is very fresh and tasty, the waitress and the boss were super nice to me, I'd love to come back :)

I just dropped by the restaurant during a business trip. Enjoyed very much and loved their food.

I came here in January 23 and again in May 24. Stir-fried pork tastes a bit sweeter. Kimchi stew is similar. Other services and atmosphere are also good. However, the overall price is not cheap and is standard.

Soft tofu stew is delicious There are more potatoes than seasoned chicken 😩

Delicious! Top service and surprisingly delicious food.

Cheese buldak is gooood, I think bulgogi is also good with cheese. Haemul Pajeon also gooooooood

Best Korean restaurant ever , especially chickin sauce, atmosphere, service, Staff were very friendly Highly recommended 🍀

Have been here time and time again, fantastic korean fried chicken, we always have had the yangnyeom chicken like 20 times and it is always perfect. We love the side dishes they bring before the food and that they offer bottled sodas. The chicken comes with potatoes and they are all perfectly infused with the sauce.

extremely tasty, and very nice service.

Delicious!! Nicest service! Authentic ambience. You have to go there if you like Korean cuisine!

Super tasty and cool cellar, thank you

Food was better here. Bulgogi was watered down with all the extra vegetables and the beef was tough and it barely tasted like bulgogi. For almost €20 I thought that was a shame. The stew we ordered also looked authentic, but in the end it just tasted like very hot and unseasoned tomato soup. The pancake wasn't particularly seasoned either. It would have been better if they had served sweetened soy sauce instead of regular. Overall the food was ok, but not really worth it for the price. Service was ok, the order was taken quickly and despite the house being full, the food came quickly.

This Korean restaurant offered a very authentic dining experience, especially the sundubu jjigae and kimchi pancakes were extremely tasteful and lastingly impressive. The interior design reflected the charm of a small Korean restaurant, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that literally transported you to Korea. The service was friendly, but the only downside was the somewhat slow speed of food delivery, which forced hungry customers to wait a bit. Nevertheless, the delicious food and unique ambience make this dining experience recommended.

Korean cuisine restaurant two minutes from Cologne central station. Nice and cozy place, with very 'authentic' decoration. It has a varied menu showing typical Korean cuisine. The food is very tasty and the service very attentive. We were very pleasantly surprised by the green onion pancake (pa-zeon) although well drizzled with sauce. And if you opt for the sautéed squid (ozingo-bokum) I advise you to ask for the spiciness to be reduced. As a curiosity, we should mention that of the 5 wines on the menu, 3 are Spanish with Rueda and Rioja denominations. If I return to Cologne I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Food was okay. You get the least for what you pay. Not really breathtaking. Slow and rather inattentive service.

The food taste and quality was like being back in Seoul. The fried chicken and pajeon was delicious and flavorful, and the kimchi had a wonderful fermented flavor. A taske of S. Korea in Koln. Recommend making a reservation or you might have to do takeout.

Poor service, food is way too salty, not sure how the high rating come about...but my local friends did warn me that it's not easy to find good restaurants in Cologne.

Korean style restaurant in front of the Koln central station, Germany. Very popular, gooh taste.

Brilliant fried chicken! It's very close to the feeling of eating Korean fried chicken like in Seoul. Very nice staff and the food is fairly priced. Reservations are urgently needed, but it's worth it.

Absolutely worth a visit! Insider restaurant for all fans of Far Eastern food. Simply recommended because EVERYTHING is right - ambience, service, food and absolute feel-good factor.

The food was great! Had chicken teriyaki and honey fried chicken with route. Without complaints. Super excited and happy to come again at any time! Super fresh and really everything to the point. Waiting time was also very short.

Really good Korean restaurant! Very good food, portions and price are right!

Really tasty and authenthic Korean food. Also quite big portions for a very reasonable price. Looking forward to go to this place once again.

I went out again because I find over €20 for Korean fried chicken unreasonable. In Berlin you can get the same thing for 13€... I can't judge the rest.

Very tasty, fresh food. Just something different than what you usually know. I deliberately ordered something with spiciness (Cheese Buldak), and it was exactly how I love it. Service was attentive and friendly, portions were really large. A real recommendation!

I've eaten there before and the food was simply delicious! Staff is also excellent! My insider tip: Fried Chicken

Meat cart located in front of Cologne Central Station. I visited with my wife and ate kimchi stew and soft tofu stew. It seems to be run by a young Korean couple(?).? 1/22-1/25 I stayed in Cologne for 3 nights, and on the last day, I went to a Korean restaurant and ate kimchi stew to soothe my greasy stomach. I was surprised that all the customers were foreigners. When paying the bill, the owner asked me in Korean if I had eaten well. You asked... I was tired from walking around all day. We haven't been able to talk for a long time... I was surprised twice by the Korean taste and the detailed map of the Han River in Seoul. I recommend it!! I didn't see any Koreans in Cologne.

Les Tofu Gangjeong sont succulents !

A very good service! I can only recommend. The food is great and the service is very attentive. I can only recommend it

I ordered soft tofu stew, ttukbaegi bulgogi, makgeolli and somaek. The taste was just mediocre. The bulgogi was just okay, but what can I say about the soft tofu stew... It doesn't taste like soft tofu stew. First of all, the stew wasn't seasoned at all and it felt like everything was there except for the seasoning. But the seasoning wasn't right, so the soup was very bland and spicy. It felt like the menu was created by someone who doesn't know much about Korean food. Looking at other tables, the chicken menu looked good and tasted good, so I thought it was the main menu at this restaurant! If you come here, I recommend avoiding the soft tofu.

The food is delicious, I particularly love the bulgogi and the fried chicken. The waiter was nice but the guy on the bar was a little bit unfriendly. One time we arrived 30 minutes before they closed the kitchen (which we didn't know) and he looked really annoyed, instead of talking to us he just really had a bad attitude.

Sehr gemütlich, das Essen sehr frisch und lecker zubereitet! Das Personal kümmert sich sehr aufmerksam um die Geste, sehr gastfreundlich! Die koreanische Musik im Hintergrund! Man darf sogar auf Wunsch ein Lied aussuchen! Absolut 5 Sterne! Das beste koreanische Restaurant in Köln!

Das Essen ist mittelmäßig und schon teuer. Das Ambiente ist eher ungemütlich, aber der Service ist nett. Leider gibt es viel bessere koreanische Restaurants in Köln.

Um Meilen besser als der chinesisch geführte gangnamstyle hier in Köln. Hier ist alles authentisch 👍☺️

Это было невероятно вкусно! Сервис прекрасный! Еда безумно вкусная! И атмосфера прекрасная! Официант был дружелюбный! Еду принесли относительно быстро. Пришлось немного подождать, но всё из-за того, что здесь много людей) Выбор соджу так же хороший)) Если вы не особый любитель острого, то здесь сделают для вас всё менее острым;) Советую))

Ich wünschte ich könnte mehr als 5 Sterne vergeben. Sehr leckeres Essen, großzügige Portionen, aufmerksamer Service, einfach alles perfekt. Ich kann den Laden sehr empfehlen.

Really really tasty food. Right after we ordered, they directly served us with 3 banchan or side dishes which were already very tasty. We ordered chili pork and the Korean fried chicken (ganjang chicken), both were really tasty. Only looking at the price it seems to be rather expensive, but the portion is really big, so overall it is "you get what you pay for".

Wir waren an drei Tagem hintereinander dort essen. Alles frisch zubereitet, sehr schmackhaft und freundlicher Service. Viele Koreaner finden das offenbar auch, da unter den Gästen auch viele Asiaten waren Ich fands super und würde immer wieder dort essen gehen.

Amazing restaurant and friendly service

The food was ok-ish. Too oily I would say. Not that tasty. The variety of foods is relatively small and all sauces were artificial. Kimchi was not spicy enough. In general I would not recommend it. Oh and on top of that it was expensive.

Nooit eerder Koreanse eten gehad, maar werd erg nieuwsgierig naar een beroemde hier cheese buldak. Licht piittig heerlijk gerecht en ik moet zeggen dat ik erg van genoten heb. Ook Koreanse alcoholische drank/wijn?l viel goed in de smaak😊. Van mij 5 steren

Very friendly, quick service and very flavorful menu.

La comida estaba rica, precio aceptable

I visited here 2 days ago. The food was very desperate. A tall waiter didn't look like he wanted to work. Because he didn't have a smile and concentrated his cell phone. You need to focus on customers instead of looking at cell phone!!!

Klein aber feines Koreanisches Bar/Restaurant. Sehr Lecker das Essen. Der Service war sehr freundlich :)

The waiting time of the dishes are a bit long, the kimchi soup is too sour, the sauce is not marinated into the chicken and too many potatoes(but potato tastes good), bulgogi was good but also too many vegetables too little meat. The price is quite expensive with this quality.

Für uns war das Essen mittelmäßig. Das vegetarische Mandu war gut. Der Tofu als Hauptgericht war ziemlich süß und etwas langweilig. Das frittierte Hähnchen war sehr fettig und es fehlte eine leckere Würze, sowie Gemüse. Der Reis war leider ziemlich zerkocht und matschig. Insgesamt fehlte eine authentische, geschmackliche Tiefe, die man aus Asien gewohnt ist. Bedienung war bemüht, aber nicht umwerfend freundlich.

I had the pleasure of visiting Gogi Matcha, an enchanting Korean restaurant in Cologne, and my culinary experience was nothing short of stunning. Atmosphere: Upon entering, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior was subtly lit with soft, earthy tones, creating a cozy ambiance. The combination of traditional Korean elements and contemporary decor gave the restaurant a unique character. Service: The staff deserves all the praise. They were attentive, friendly, and willing to assist in making menu choices. My questions about the dishes were answered with enthusiasm, contributing to the overall positive experience. Menu: I discovered the subtlety of a limited but carefully curated menu. Despite the absence of abundant choices, the experience offered more than enough to relish. My choice landed on Bulgogi and Mandu, both a pleasant surprise of refined flavors. The emphasis on quality over quantity was noticeable in every bite. Fresh ingredients, artistic presentation, and unmistakably authentic flavors showcased a thoughtful culinary approach. At Gogi Matcha, it's all about the art of simplicity, where limited choices open the door to a realm of refinement. The restaurant proves that greatness isn't always dependent on the size of the menu but rather on the care and attention with which each dish is crafted. Highlights: A highlight of my dinner was the Bulgogi, tender grilled beef marinated in a delicious sauce. The flavors exploded in my mouth, and the meat literally melted on my tongue. The side dishes, such as the spicy kimchi and refreshing pickles, added an extra dimension to the meal. Price-Quality Ratio: Although Gogi Matcha is considered a high-end restaurant, the quality of the food and service justifies the price. The portion sizes were generous, and every bite was a sensory delight. Overall: Gogi Matcha offers an authentic Korean culinary experience in the heart of Cologne. Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or simply looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this restaurant deserves a spot on your culinary bucket list. Fantastic service and a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

Корейский ресторан с соответствующей едой и музыкой. С другом взяли пиво и соджу (есть на выбор с разными вкусами) также в наличии было рисовое вино. Друг взял курочку в панировке и картошке (курица была очень хрустящая, много панировки, порция довольно большая). Я взяла манду и кимчи. Кимчи к сожалению, били в виде супа и очень острые, мне бесплатно принесли рис.

Tolles kulinarisches Erlebnis. Leckere Speisen mit der richtigen Würze und auch Schärfe. Koreanisches Wirtshaus. Nettes Personal. Kartenzahlung ab 20€. Reservieren geht nicht. Manchmal muss man Glück haben. Das Personal sucht aber auch nach Lösungen.

Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis! Das Essen ist nicht nur sehr lecker und authentisch, sondern auch das Personal ist super nett. Sehr, sehr empfehlenswert!

Es hat den Eindruck als wenn man dort alles runter schlingen muss, weil die nächsten auf eine Tisch warten. Sehr klein dort. Man muss lange warten. Und draußen bilden sich eine Schlange . Das Essen ist nicht meins. Da habt man aber auch nur eine kleine Karte.

Lackluster staff, zero smiles, zero service. The food was incredibly sugary / sweet. Not many vegetables, just a bunch of meat, sugar and chili. Lacking flavor and spice, just bland Chili Pork without a kick. Side dishes were laughably small for two people to share, never gotten so little anywhere in the world at a Korean restaurant. Not coming back our group wasn't satisfied with either service or flavor.

Titel: Gogimatcha - Ein kulinarisches Meisterwerk! Gogimatcha hat meine kulinarischen Erwartungen übertroffen und sich als wahres Juwel für Liebhaber der südkoreanischen Küche entpuppt. Die Fusion von Gogi (Fleisch) und Matcha (Grüntee) im Namen verspricht bereits eine einzigartige Erfahrung. Die Atmosphäre im Restaurant ist modern, gleichzeitig aber auch gemütlich und einladend. Das Ambiente schafft die perfekte Kulisse für ein besonderes gastronomisches Erlebnis. Die Speisekarte von Gogimatcha ist eine kreative Verschmelzung traditioneller koreanischer Aromen mit innovativen Elementen. Jedes Gericht ist meisterhaft präsentiert und spiegelt die Sorgfalt und Liebe zum Detail wider. Der Service war herausragend. Das Personal war nicht nur fachkundig, sondern auch äußerst aufmerksam und sorgte dafür, dass jeder Besuch zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis wurde. Ein absolutes Highlight war das Bulgogi Matcha Bibimbap, eine kreative Interpretation des klassischen Gerichts mit einer subtilen Tee-Note, die dem Ganzen eine erfrischende Nuance verlieh. Insgesamt ist Gogimatcha ein Muss für Feinschmecker, die südkoreanische Küche in einer modernen und raffinierten Form erleben möchten. Die perfekte Wahl für ein geschmackliches Abenteuer, das lange in Erinnerung bleibt.

warten auf dem Tisch draußen gewöhnungsbedürftig- das Essen entschädigt es aber ! Service toll

Sehr schönes Koreanisches Restaurant. Mega leckeres Essen und sehr nettes Personal ! Waren schon in Seoul in Restaurants und das Gogi Matcha erinnert uns sehr an Korea 🫶😃 kommen immer wieder sehr gerne dort essen

Wirklich leckeres Essen,mega nette und vor allem auch lustige Bedienung.Hätte am liebsten alles auf der Karte probiert, aber bin im wenigen Tagen nach paar Monaten endlich wieder da,dann zum 3 mal auch meine Freundin und Familie liebt es wirklich Top laden,der auch sehr beliebt ist daher Wartezeit mit bringen lohnt sich aber definitiv ,einfach Geiles Essen. Wer hungrig kommt geht nicht nur Gesättigt, sonder auch mit einem Grinsen im Gesicht zumindest wenn man gutes Essen zu lieben weiß. Danke an das Super Team von Gogi Matcha und nein das ist nicht bezahlt oder so haha 😂, im Detail ist der Laden noch besser als die Bewertung von mir. Fazit in Kurz Top Koreanisches Essen zu ebenso normalen/keine utopischen Preise Für einen besonderen und leckeren 😋Abend mit Familie und Freunden oder einnem Date perfekt Lg.Christoph aus Bonn(; bis zum 14.11

非常好的一家店，我们当时去的时候已经快10点了，马上就要打烊了，店里的小哥最后还是收留了我们哈哈哈，东西特别好吃，人也很好。

Almost like in Korea, tasted 2 dishes - the seafood pancake and seafood tofu soup with rice. Maybe best so far in Germany. Worth a visit.

Klein aber fein. Schneller netter Service. Essen hat super geschmeckt.

Small restaurant right near the center, delicious food, vibrant atmosphere, I am very satisfied
