Great Wall in Köln

An okey restaurant. The food is good, but relatively expensive for what you get. The service is meagre, where you need to pay extra for each small bit of rice for each person.

This is absolutely the best braised beef brisket with radish I've ever had in Europe. It was amazing! I even ate three big bowls of rice with it.

Real Chinese food. Great experience

The food here is delicious. For Chinese tourists from all over the world, if you're craving rice, you absolutely must eat here. It's very close to the cathedral. It's only a 300-meter walk.

Authentic and varied cuisine. Visually stunning in a great atmosphere. Those who order spicy dishes will not be disappointed. Friendly, attentive, and fast service.

Great Chinese restaurant. Featured in an episode of Kitchen Impossible. Delicious food and friendly, attentive service. We had glass noodle salad and cucumber salad as starters, as well as the eggplant and pork Peking style. Highly recommended!

A clear recommendation: authentic Chinese cuisine. Super delicious and worth at least a visit!

We were looking for a spot of Asian cuisine and, almost by chance, we stumbled upon this place. We arrived a little late, but we were greeted with a smile and prompt service. The dishes arrived promptly: the fish, fresh and full of flavor; the dumplings, so tender they almost fell apart. Amidst friends, laughter, and cold beers, the evening ended up being one of those simple evenings fondly remembered.

The older woman serving was very impolite. While we were odering, she burped and before collecting our plates was blowing her nose on front of us. The food was good.

Fantastic and authentic Chinese cuisine, a great find in town. Prices are friendly and close to the Dom

Delicious, authentic, generous portions. Highly recommended! Great food! Great taste! Muy bien! Tres bien!

Today was our first visit to what is supposedly the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Cologne. Sure, we didn't dare much and opted for beef, squid, and tofu with bacon. Authenticity? The sauces for the appetizers came from the supermarket shelf. The spice levels of the dishes seem arbitrary. While my beef, which was rated as spicy, was rather mild, the equally rated squid came across as very spicy. It also had a fishy flavor. The beef was tasty, but only offered chilies and fresh coriander. The service was friendly but inattentive. You had to clearly call for attention to be served. The ambiance is uncomfortable at best. Conclusion: Okay, but I'll only come back, if at all, because of the good location near the main train station.

Fried rice is delicious. Recommended

Food total shit. Crap of the highest degree. In company so difficult to complain. So very bad . Left to get sick

Amazing Chinese authentic food and kind service.

We happened to stop in on our way to the train station, and it was the best culinary discovery we've had in ages! The food was incredibly delicious and varied! My highlight was the baked eggplant. The very friendly and attentive service made the visit perfect.

The food is excellent: freshly prepared, authentic, and delicious. For me, one of the best Chinese restaurants!

Very tasty authentic food plus good friendly service!

Delicious, especially the Fuqi Feipian and the cumin lamb that I didn't take a picture of! One of the best Chinese restaurants in Germany🍴The service and taste are great!

Good was good, service was great and our food came out quickly. We finished almost everything... my wife noted that a standard dish was missing some of the more traditional ingredients. I run l think it was that the dish had been localized.

Super delicious Chinese food, one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever visited.

What an elaborate menu! Just a short walk from the train station and cathedral. The food was excellent and the service was spot on.

We visit the restaurant regularly and can only confirm that it serves 100% authentic Chinese cuisine. We don't know of any comparable establishment in the region, even though there are supposedly Asian restaurants on every corner. A top recommendation if you want to delve into the world of Asian, especially Chinese, cuisine. We wish the team continued success!

The dishes are very authentic and the presentation is good, but the price-performance ratio is not high compared to other Chinese restaurants I have visited in Germany.

I ordered the Peking Duck menu (E02) today at 5:20 p.m., first of all the waitress was not very friendly, then the dish came where the duck was soft and limp instead of crispy, after about 20 minutes I asked for some more vegetables, batter and sauce for the rolls, but the waitress said in a very unfriendly tone that it would cost extra, I can not recommend this way of doing things here, also not because of the quality or taste of the food!!

The price is high, rice is charged separately. There are not many dishes. I asked the waiter to order a little spicy, but the dishes were still spicy. There is no service and I am forced to tip. I will never come back here again.

Absolutely fantastic Chinese cuisine—but authentic and not what is usually served as 'Chinese food' in Germany. The very friendly staff will point out if something is unusual for European tastes or perhaps too spicy. We've been there four times now and always had something different. Everything was delicious. We particularly liked the lamb with spring onions, the beef with spring onions, the Shanghai duck, and the Hunan pork. The appetizers were also first-class: pork stomach, duck tongue, spicy beef, Chinese steamed dumplings... everything was excellent. The extremely friendly staff and the lightning-fast service deserve special mention! We'd be happy to go back again!

I’ve been living in Europe for over 20 years, and this is the first time someone insists I should tip. That’s not how it works here.

Very good, tastes good, will come again next time

Top-notch service with the best recommendations. There were five of us and we enjoyed a wide selection. Ask the staff for tips. You'll be rewarded!

I had the main course, H04 beef with oyster mushrooms. The dish was very meat-heavy, with very little vegetables and no rice. So, it's definitely something for meat lovers! 😀

The restaurant forced to collect tips, thumbs up

Bien que le cadre ne soit pas fantastique, ce restaurant de l'hôtel Plazza présente une très bonne carte de plats chinois et de vins portugais pour des tarifs raisonnables. Très bon service.

A must place to visit if you are in Köln. The food is very well done, the technique used are real Chinese . The ingredients are fresh and all seasoned to perfection. The staff is very kind and professional. The location is right next to the Dom, so it’s perfect if you’re touristing around town.

The real deal! Authentic, family-friendly, very well-cooked! If you're looking for honest food with an authentic Chinese flavor profile, you'll be 100% satisfied here. It was delicious. Thank you!

Authentic Chinese cuisine. Very friendly staff.

Very tasty, traditional Chinese cuisine, far removed from the standard Chinese restaurant fare you're used to at other establishments. Recommended wine selection and special dishes such as the marinated duck tongues, which we really enjoyed. The food is prepared quickly and freshly, and the hosts are friendly.

Food was fantastic. Service was great and the staff were very friendly.

Sichuan food is delicious, thank you.

Authentic Chinese food like you rarely find. It's excellent, especially when it comes to more specialized dishes. The service was fast and polite, and the price, especially for the portion size, was excellent. I'd be happy to go again.

Best grilled duck i have ever had! Truly authentic china cuisine with every entree tasting fresh and delicious.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday, June 7, 2025, after a stay in Cologne! We've rarely had such good Asian food! Authentic, fresh, and really great portions

Food was great - in addition to classic asian dishes they offer very traditional dishes which you do not get in every asian restaurant. Service was fast and kind.

At the Great Wall, you can enjoy traditional Chinese food. I opted for noodles with sesame paste – they were very good and, to my taste, had a pleasant spiciness (2/3 red dots). The noise level was a bit loud, as the seating area downstairs is rather small – but this will vary depending on the guest. The service was very friendly, and we would definitely return.

Just a restaurant near a tourist attraction, when you pay with a card, they ask for a tip without any thought to service.

An exciting, totally authentic restaurant with seemingly typical Chinese dishes. Here, you won't get what local palates are used to from the Thai joint around the corner. Here, the food tastes like it really does in the Middle Kingdom. You can't be squeamish about the spice - but if you love German spice, you should still start moderately. There's a long line at the entrance during peak times, so reservations are definitely recommended. It's quite possible that after your meal, you'll be told – definitely not in a roundabout way! – that the next guests are already waiting for your table. Oh well. All in all, definitely a hotspot in Cologne!

Wiederbesuch nach langer Zeit. Der Laden ist schnörkellos und nach wie vor gut. Keine Tischdecken, keine Winkekatzen und kein üblicher Kokolores. Dafür kommt die überwiegende Mehrzahl der Gäste aus dem asiatischen Raum, was bekanntermaßen für die Authentizität der Küche spricht. Ob man nun Eingeweide, Pansen oder Darm essen muss liegt bei jedem selbst. Aber auch die "europäischen" Gerichte schmecken sehr gut. € 3,-- für ein Kölsch sind gewiss nicht günstig; die Preise der (Haupt)Speisen liegen bei durchweg € 20,--.

Authentic Chinese food. It looks completely unassuming from the outside, but it's fantastic. Friendly service and excellent cuisine. Be careful: two red dots next to the dishes mean they're really spicy.

We didn't make a reservation, but we still got a table for four. The food was delicious, and the service was very friendly. We'd love to go back :)

Good food, authentic Chinese cuisine in terms of ingredients. The taste was absolutely fine, even with extravagant dishes like beef offal with duck blood or gizzard in chili oil. However, I would have expected a bit more than meats and offal cooked in chili and peppercorns. Everything tasted good, but I somehow missed that special kick of authentic Chinese cuisine.

Great cuisine! Never had Chinese food so good. Highly recommended. The ambience doesn't really matter when you eat this well

Very tasty original Chinese food

The Great Wall in Cologne is a real insider tip for everyone who loves authentic Chinese cuisine! Although I have eaten Chinese food many times, I absolutely loved the food here - every dish tastes unique, fresh and incomparably delicious. The menu offers an impressively large selection, so there is something for every taste. Whether traditional dishes or unusual specialties - everything is lovingly prepared and tastes fantastic. The portions are very generous, so no one goes home hungry. I would also particularly like to highlight the friendly and attentive staff. The employees are always helpful, courteous and their warmth ensures a pleasant atmosphere. One thing is certain for me: I would love to come back and can only recommend everyone to try this great restaurant!

Great authentic Chinese food. There's also one or two things for experts. Highly recommended.

Delicious and authentic Chinese food in Köln. As two Asians, we are always on the lookout for authentic Chinese and other Asian cuisine. We'll be back!

I didn't like that at all, it was really cool 🤢

Yes but nothing special. A lot of people like in market.

Yes, very rich selection of traditional Chinese food. The Chinese restaurant, where Chinese people also eat.

Very authentic Chinese cuisine. Highly recommended.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the city, with very authentic flavors of Asian cuisine, I recommend visiting. :))) Sehr leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung und kinder liebevoll

Very traditional Chinese cuisine. Apparently the shop is rarely visited by non-Chinese people as the lady only spoke Chinese and a bit of English. Food was tasty and plentiful. Unfortunately, the selection of vegetarian dishes is very limited and my vegetarian dish (something with eggplant) was a bit mono-thematically limited in taste because there were almost only eggplants on the plate.

They don't accept cards and ask for cash payment.

Hunan cuisine is delicious, but the price/performance ratio is average because the portion is small and not cheap. It’s a really small bowl. Don't order the pickled fish, it tastes terrible.

Experiência bem autêntica e bom atendimento. Muitas opções de pratos e amei o pato com panquecas. A carne de porço a milanesa com chilli tbm foi bem legal. Recomendo!

The portions are large, the chicken with saliva tastes very good, the boiled fish is not as spicy as expected, but the taste is very good and will not make it uncomfortable to go to the toilet the next day. The garlic baby cabbage is also amazing, full of minced garlic, and there are vermicelli at the bottom, which is a plus.

Very authentic food and price is very reasonable! Staff are very friendly and efficient

Very friendly staff; Food good but not really authentic anymore.

Tastes good - nice staff In addition to duck tongue and tripe, you can also find “normal” Chinese dishes.

Mein Bruder erzählte mir, dass dies die Anlaufstation für Ex-Pads sei, die einen Aufenthalt in China gehabt haben und dass es hier authentische chinesische Küche gebe - Grund genug für mich, dorthin zu pilgern! Bei einer Verabredung mit einem Freund wurden wir aufs Angenehmste überrascht - es schmeckte wunderbar! Schade, dass ich so weit weg wohne, sonst würde diese Adresse flugs in die Essens-Standards integriert!

At last a Chinese restaurant with atypical dishes and regional specialties. I also celebrate that the spicy dishes were really that, spicy, and not this decaffeinated thing that "Europeans" usually do. I will be back for sure.

We were there today: simple, tasty, cozy and close. Top!

Nose to tail is the motto here and you notice that pretty quickly when you open the map. Various offal and dishes with beef blood are first and foremost on the menu. My colleagues wrinkled their noses and asked where I had dragged them to. But after the first bite, the complaining was quickly a thing of the past. Really tasty, unusual and above all authentic. Not a one-size-fits-all meal, as we unfortunately know from almost all other restaurants in the East. And yes, the menus are a bit sticky and the ambience is so-so, but the food makes up for it. However, I still have one tip to share. If there are a lot of Chinese people sitting in a restaurant, which was the case during our visit, and they are sensitive to eating noises such as slurping, smacking and belching, then it is better to wait before visiting. The purest cacophony 🥳 Otherwise, I can only recommend the “Great Wall”.

das essen war sehr lecker und frisch besonders die wok-gerichte waren hervorragend das personal war schnell und freundlich das ambiente des restaurants war entspannt und angenehm der service legte großen wert auf kundenzufriedenheit insgesamt war es eine sehr angenehme erfahrung

Super delicious food. Simply heavenly delicious. Service was very accommodating and very nice. The dishes are really a dream 😍

Gran comida, muy especial e inusual oferta incluyendo ranas, etc El servicio es muy agradable, la habitación no es genial, pero limpio y bien

We went on holiday and out of the 7 nights spent in Cologne, 5 nights were spent eating here. Food is absolutely delicious, authentic and just amazing. Amazing service and atmosphere, cannot recommend this place enough!!

Delicious and reasonably-priced food. Friendly service. Really close to the Cologne Cathedral. A big brownie point for being dog-friendly! :)

Petit resto chinois situé près de la gare de Cologne et servant des spécialités de Sichuan, donc attendez-vous à des plats épicés

Small Chinese restaurant near Cologne train station, which serves typical Sichuan dishes, therefore quite spicy. Good but a little variety would be a plus

Great food! And very friendly staff. Top!

very small The smell of food is everywhere Expensive I do not recommend

While all the other restaurants are closed, this one is still open during the evening. The staffs are very kind. Restaurant is clean. The food is great!

We ordered a chicken with a sweet sauce half of which was not even chicken but bamboo pieces not indicated in menu. And I chose soup made of tofu and sea shrimps which has a totally different color on the picture in their menu. In reality it was like a big cup with waterish viscous liquid. Plus there was no mentioning in menu that the soup is made of chicken, at all. And the waiter could be more polite with the customers actually ..

I visited in May 2019. It was the first food I had ever eaten. It was so delicious that I asked the chef the name of the food. Beef noodle... I really enjoyed it.

We reserved a table for 2 at 8pm and arrived on time. First we were made to wait at the entrance and then we waited at the table for another 15 minutes. The waiter, who seemed like the owner to me, ignored us and even gave cards to several guests who came after us and already served them. He didn't even look at us with one eye. We simply left after the event and then he cheekily said a nice goodbye. We were really looking forward to the meal and the evening, but unfortunately this local made the soup too salty for us. LG

Very bad attitude! When ordering, he had a tough attitude and claimed that every dish here is for one person and each person should order at least one dish. The charges were unreasonable. Regarding the controversial charges, even though they were only a few Euros, I was very impatient throughout the process! Restaurant staff openly claim that the dishes here are all semi-finished and pre-made! A very bad restaurant!

The food is good, but nothing special. It seemed somehow simple. Interior. I didn't have enough comfort and atmosphere, maybe it would be better if there was music. In general, the impression is more of a fast food cafe, although the prices are regular. I took the soup and as a main course the Peking sea bass. The perch was not a fillet, but a boned fish. Taste +-.

This is one of the rare spots that serves truly authentic Asian cuisine. Their cold chicken in spicy sauce is a favorite of ours and keeps making us come back.

The food was excellent, the unusual spices were very well balanced. The staff was very quick and friendly. The ambience could still be improved.

Yesterday we were guests at "Great Wall" for the first time, but certainly not for the last time. The service was very friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. The menu is beautifully designed, including pictures of each dish, which makes choosing a little easier. We had the fried noodles, 2 Shanghai-style spring rolls and beef with chili and coriander. All dishes were large enough, very tasty and served quickly. All of this, including 2 large (0.5 L) soft drinks, was available for just under 50 euros, so you really can't complain. If you like authentic Chinese, you definitely have to go to Great Wall.

Stuff is nice, fully booked. Very popular.

We had dinner here today. Very very cute, authentic Chinese restaurant. Super tasty, friendly service. The food came quickly and was delicious. Absolute recommendation.

Delicious Chinese food. Highly recommend D12 Sichuan fish. Almost too much for one person

I've never had Chinese food like this before, it's really something very special. But even people who don't like to experiment will find something here. Personally, I can recommend beef tripe with duck blood and 1000-year-old eggs. Service left a bit to be desired and the ambience wasn't great. But the visit was still very worthwhile!

Authentic Chinese cuisine! Very tasty and well-seasoned food in large portions. Super fast and friendly service.

The food is great, I drive all the way from Duisburg. Service for Germans sometimes takes a bit of getting used to, the ambience right next to the main train station is not for connoisseurs. But the food is really amazing!

Excellent restaurant, I recommend urgently!

Everything was simply delicious. Perfect.

Ambience could be more “Chinese”, but otherwise GREAT. From a German perspective, there are really weird specialties as the main course (fried duck tongues, for example), but 17 sweet and sour ones make the others, so just try it here. Really tasty, friendly service, maybe a little more expensive, but whatever. Go there, order whatever sounds weirdest, have fun. It's all ok.

Great food Perfectly seasoned Just something special
