We arrived right when the restaurant opened for lunch, and we were the only table at the time, so the food came out very quickly. My friend thought the food was quite good; I personally felt it was just okay. The water-boiled beef had very heavy starch thickening, which made the sauce overly thick. The salted egg yolk pumpkin was tasty, but had a slightly fishy aftertaste. The spicy chicken was made with boneless diced chicken rather than bone-in pieces. Rice refills are unlimited. The owner was a bit distant, and the service was not very warm. After we finished eating, we wanted to sit for a while and chat. However, the owner started clearing the table and combined the leftover rice and bones from each of our bowls directly on the table, which made us quite uncomfortable. We ended up leaving, even though it was still raining outside. I find it hard to understand why kitchen waste would be sorted and handled directly on a customer’s table.

Rude service: Ordered at 5:35 PM/food hasn't even arrived. They should have just eaten and left because of the reservation! Disgusting, and I won't be going back.

Delicious, authentic food. If you're looking for Germanized Chinese food, this is the wrong place. However, if you're looking to discover something new in terms of taste or are simply missing authentic Chinese dishes, this is the place for you. The restaurant is perfect for larger groups; you order different dishes and share everything. A generous portion of rice is served with it. Ordering via the app was a bit complicated, but the friendly staff were happy to help. It was pleasantly quiet, so you could enjoy your meal and chat. Highly recommended.

This Szechuan restaurant in Cologne was truly delicious! The food tastes authentic and is perfectly spicy, the portions are generous, and the service staff is very friendly. There's ample parking – not directly in front of the door, but there are plenty of parking garages nearby. On weekends, it's definitely worth making a reservation. Ordering is easy using the QR code on your phone, including photos – very convenient! A solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – we'll definitely be back!

Great food! I kept thinking about this culinary delight all evening. Very authentic, the waitress barely speaks German, and some of the digital menus have to be translated by hand. However, the taste experience is worth the hurdles. Great food is offered here at a fair price. The portions are generous, and rice is served with every hot dish. Since the restaurant is very popular with Chinese groups, especially during trade fairs, I recommend making reservations 1-2 weeks in advance. I can't recommend sitting outside for two people. I am very grateful for this culinary experience. I will give it 5 stars once the menu has been fully translated.

I haven’t eaten here in more than a year, and I thought there would be many new dishes, but it turned out to be the same as the ones from more than a year ago. How can I put it, it felt like it lacked a bit of freshness. Then the food was served very slowly tonight. . . There were three dishes for two people. The second dish took 46 minutes and the last dish took 1 hour and 11 minutes to be served. The people next door who came later than us had several dishes. When I asked the waiter to order the food, the first feedback I got was not an apology, but "I don't dare to rush the chef, you have to wait." But what does the chef’s mood have to do with me? Why should I consider the chef’s mood when cooking? It’s not the first day the restaurant opens. Isn’t it common sense that there will be many people on Saturdays? I can understand, I can wait, and within half an hour is called waiting, but 71 minutes is really too much; not expressing apology is really too much. The last dish, which I had been waiting for for so long, was so salty that it felt like the chef was being pushed into the dish and was in a bad mood to retaliate against me. I lost my appetite at the end of the meal and just packed it away. It was not a pleasant dining experience anyway. But the taro chicken is delicious, recommended

It can be regarded as my personal favorite Sichuan food in this region. Of course, the spiciness has been reduced a bit, but the adaptability has been increased. Overall, it is still very good. I have tried almost all the dishes, and I won’t be disappointed. They are highly recommended. Foreign friends like Yibin Braised Pork with Bean sprouts and rice very much. The rich taste levels are very representative of Chinese food.

Food very good, but comparatively relatively expensive. Service and ambience was okay. Negative: it's almost a shame that you have to pay extra for rice, but what's not right is that this isn't mentioned anywhere, neither when you order nor at any other time, you only see it afterwards on the bill.

Overall not a nice experience: I found the atmosphere dingy, dirty, there was rubbish on the heater and the window panes were completely dirty. The five of us had a large table at the entrance, which was terribly drafty. Very unfriendly staff who speak virtually no German. Bowls and chopsticks were banged onto the table with a lot of noise, drinks ordered via the app didn't come or only after repeated reminders. Two main courses were placed on the table labeled "beef" - but it was chicken. The QR code concept doesn't work because many dishes are described far too imprecisely. The "Fried Chicken" had mushy potatoes as the main ingredient, the pieces of meat were tiny and cooked rather than fried. One main course was so huge that it would have been enough for 3 people. We ordered two portions of rice and were charged for 5. The food overall wasn't good: one vegetarian main course was ok, the other 4 dishes were just spicy and extremely oily. Diarrhea and nausea occurred in the evening/early morning in 3 out of 5 people! There was only an “interim invoice” as an invoice - without any tax shown?! Also nice: While we were eating, our next table was generously misted with Sagrotan. Unfortunately, I can't understand any of the good reviews and can't recommend this restaurant under any circumstances!

Big request, attention! Always give the tip to the waitresses personally and make sure that the manager of the shop does not take it away from the women immediately!!! Unfortunately, the women do not have access to the tips paid by card; the money goes directly to the boss or owner of the restaurant. The waitresses have told me several times that the boss had asked for the tip given by the customer and taken it away!!! For this reason I didn't want to come here anymore because I don't want to support unfair behavior. The food tastes fantastic here and I don't want the waitresses to be out of work either. But such bosses, or the behavior doesn't work at all!

First of all, after tasting such Chinese food abroad, I still give it a thumbs up 👍 However, from the time when I walked in and sat down to when I paid the bill and went out, the two eldest ladies did not smile the whole time, and they did not come to the table for service or inquiry. We just scanned the QR code to order by ourselves, and a used spoon was given to us on the way to the meal. The children we brought with us needed some hot water, and we were reluctantly told that we needed to order food and be charged. I just want to say that customers bring money to the door to consume, which is not bad. Talking about money is completely inconsistent with the service attitude. When everyone went to eat, the service attitude was the first. I really didn’t want to make a fuss. I only ordered two dishes and didn’t want to add any more, so I hurried away after the meal. Maybe the boss is not short of money, but he hopes you can have some sense of service, and most of them are compatriots. If the service is better, the business must be better.

I don't mind the ambience (it's rather sparse at the tables, the walls and pillars are beautifully decorated) - the food is fantastic. Certainly already adapted to European palates, but closer to original Chinese cuisine than anything else I know from Cologne and the surrounding area. I didn't see any forks or knives anywhere either. Top. Really great, tasty and - be careful - spicy! We're talking about Szechuan cuisine here. And no, you can't choose what you want to eat less spicy, you have to find the right dishes (the special pork belly, for example, or the Judas ears salad (morels)) Definitely go.

Once again in Cologne, the restaurant was recommended to me as authentic Chinese cuisine. In any case, at least half of the guests were of Chinese origin - a good sign!

We waited 1h and 10 minutes on our food. Apparently they had no plates left that evening. Don't eat outside here, if you mind bugs . The wooden bench is full of them and just sitting a couple minutes on these will have your back be full of them. Inside looked good to eat however. The food felt quite authentic, also the style on how you eat and share food here, but what I ordered (Kung Pao Chicken) was simply not too great.

After waiting for more than 40 minutes (two kings), one hot dish and two cold dishes were served? ? ? I couldn't stand it and the longer I waited, the hungrier I got. After about an hour, I was ready to pay and leave. They said there was another dish in the pot? ? All the latecomers around us were served first and finished, and we only had one hot dish. The spicy sausage does not match the picture, it should be called spicy sausage.

At first it seems quite expensive, but it is worth the price! I had the beef in chili oil and at first thought that €20 would be a lot, but this dish is easily enough for four people! Anyone who manages to eat everything alone has probably consumed over 4000 kcal. Of course it's designed for chopsticks, so there's a lot of oil left over, but that would be a shame, so I took my huge leftover with me :) It's spicy - but very pleasant in the mouth, but scratchy in the throat and throat - had to cough a bit. My more European stomach doesn't tolerate the whole thing very well. But I also certainly chose the most intolerable dish. But for me that is a feature of authenticity. It tastes very balanced, spicy, umami and well prepared. I've been looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant for a long time and finally found it. The only stupid thing is that I was alone and couldn't try everything. I'd be happy to come back with several people and catch up on that. Absolute recommendation for food lovers who want to try real Chinese cuisine.

This is one of the best Sichuan restaurants that I can find in Europe 💓 The food is so authentic and to die for. Spicy chicken and twice cooked pork are top notch! You have to try the pork hock in spicy chilly oil, it’s a cold dish and it’s my favorite. Their desserts are very nice as well, all are my favorite 🤤 Their service is pretty good as long as you don’t have high expectations. 😉 In my experience, Chinese restaurants always have similar level of service. They are not talkative or they may seem to not care much. But they are focusing on what they are doing. As long as they don’t disrespect me, I honestly think that is authentic experience if you dine in Chinese restaurant. 😆 For all of these people who complained about service. In Chinese restaurant, if the service is good, there are 2 scenarios: either the food sucks, or it’ll be very expensive. I’ve been to a very good Sichuan restaurant in Amsterdam and it’s much more expensive than here but you get 5* service 😃 And for people who complained about the amount of oil they use, please google Sichuan food and see how they actually cook their food. 🥹 I do agree that their consistency is a little off. I’ve been here around 7-8 times and sometimes the seasoning is less on point than the other. Overall, the food is still good 👍🏻 I am Vietnamese but I love Sichuan food. I’ve trying so many Sichuan restaurants in the US and Eu and we have Sichuan friends too, they often explained to me how the food should taste like so I’m pretty confident with Sichuan cuisine 😆

TL;DR Höchfen is a really nice Sichuan restaurant in the heart of Köln with efficient servers and great food. Sichuan food is a bit different from what you are used to, so be sure to prepare to be surprised and delighted by what they can cook up. I highly recommend their Bowl Tea and Sichuan Haxen, but for a beginner's main course I would actually recommend Rindfleisch in Chiliöl which is my favourite dish of all time. Hönchen was, together with Hana's on the other side, one of the two restaurants that I really wanted to visit since I moved to Köln at the start of February. It located at the Barbarossaplatz and is a bit tucked in the corner. The restaurant specializes in Sichuan food, which is a kitchen which is very near and dear to my heart, since it is something that I make for myself whenever I can. Since this was my first time at an authentic Sichuan restaurant, I was very excited to see how those dishes are supposed to taste like. I went alone on a Saturday night at around 21, the restaurant was mostly empty when I arrived. I was given a table near the front next to a lovely group of Chinese women enjoying a nice night eating outdoors. They were wrapping up and asked the waiters whether they could take their leftovers home with them, which the waiters happily obliged. The restaurant uses a QR system to order, and the food arrives whenever the kitchen is done with it. There is a large selection of different dishes, including some good specialities and dishes that are authentically Chinese. In their culture, texture plays a much more important role than in Western food, so they eat parts of animals which are common here. Some examples to look out for are Cow's stomach and Duck's Blood, which feature fascinating and unique textures. I ordered the Sichuan Pickled Vegetables as an entrée and 东坡肘子 (Dong Po Pig's Knuckle) with rice. As a drink, I ordered the Bowl tea, which I had no idea what it was. My entrée was okay and nothing to really write home about. It was nice to have some vegetables, and they had a good crunch, but pickled greens remain pickled greens. The Pig's Knuckle on the other hand was a beautiful, large piece of meat that even impressed the ladies next to me, who looked with a certain jealousy at my main course. It tasted as good as it looked with the meat almost falling off from the bone and had a really tender texture. The dish was spicy, but not overwhelmingly so, and all the flavours were balanced nicely. The sauce paired nicely with the rice, and I had to resist my urge to eat all of it with my spoon. The portion was more than generous, and I could see myself eating this easily with one extra person and still feeling full afterwards Tea is always my indication of restaurant quality, since it is something that it is really easy to cut corners to make some easy money. What I am looking for is restaurants that really try to offer the whole experience, and Höchfen delivered this to a T. I was given a China cup with a bunch of flowers in it with a small plate and a massive jug of tea. After calling a quick helpline in the form of Chinese friends, who first spent five minutes laughing at me for drinking old man tea, I figured out that you put the plate over the cup so that there is a small slit left over that the water can come out of. They were not at all skimpy with the water, so I actually had to spend ten minutes on top of my meal to actually finish all the water. In conclusion, Höchfen is a great Sichuan restaurant that offers high quality food for relatively affordable prices. Chinese food is typically to share, which is reflected in the generous portion sizes. The restaurant offers a masterclass in how you serve tea to your customers, and I was sad that I didn't have time to have their Sticky Rice with Bean Paste dessert, since that looked delicious. I cannot wait to come back to have the Chengdu Fondue and experience more of this great kitchen.

There are also dishes that you cannot find in other Chinese restaurants (they are adapted to us Europeans), such as: Pig feet (which my husband (Croatian) also likes to eat sometimes). Not as adventurous as my husband, I got the pineapple fried chicken - it was some of the best chicken I've ever eaten! The sweet and sour sauce was also very creamy and not as runny as usual - very aromatic!!! I can highly recommend the restaurant :)!

Super friendly staff. The place was recommended to me by a Chinese woman as the authentic and best Chinese restaurant in Cologne. I can't say whether that's the case, but the food is excellent. Anyway, the best Chinese food I've ever had. And the portions are huge. Definitely come back.

It's really really really really delicious It's a restaurant where you can't measure the bag strap, and the stir-fried eggplant has more tripe than vegetables. The stir-fried eggplant is just heavenly. I'm looking forward to the future and thinking about trying all the menu items here🫶

Fresh dishes, very well prepared, large selection of vegetarian food - incredibly friendly service - the next room is a bit cramped, that's why only the 3 stars...

Unrelaxed atmosphere, slow waiters, meat appeared in dishes which were described as vegetable dishes. Overall very oily and fatty, lower medium quality. Don’t serve coffee/ espresso. No beers on tap. Will not visit again.

Is right on Barbarossaplatz. The order is placed via the website, which can be viewed via the QR code at the table. Apart from that there is no real communication with the staff. Nevertheless, they came to help when called. The food seems expensive but you have to say the portions are really big. One meal is sometimes enough for 2 people. Rice is included for free. I really liked the food. It tasted authentic and also had a good spiciness. The atmosphere also went very well with the food. I can definitely recommend the restaurant

I thought the food was great! In my opinion, very authentic, not a Chinese restaurant that only serves sweet and sour duck. The staff was normal, not a bad experience. Ambience so-so, but anyone who has ever been to China should know that it is simply something different. Just culture :) I can recommend it!!

We had a fantastic evening here. After we stumbled in here once by chance as a couple, we now came back with a larger group. This way you can easily order more things and try different things. Insanely delicious food! However, the selection for vegetarians is somewhat limited.

The best part is that you can specify that no chicken powder or MSG is added. Vegetarians also have many options. The portion size is medium to large. There is not a lot of meat in the boiled beef. It is well seasoned and not spicy. The bean sprouts inside are very fresh. Recommend the sweet-scented osmanthus, lotus root and eight-treasure rice Service is very good

Unfortunately need to give only 3 stars due to last experience. The food price is higher than average and you expect best quality. Unfortunately some meat dishes are dry and tasye like are cooked long time ago and then just reheated, some giving the impression of more than 24 hours. Other dishes are delicious , tasty and as spicy as they should be. It seems like there are two different restaurants and depending on your luck which one you get 😞

Tolle Auswahl an verschiedenen Gerichten, lecker und voller Geschmack! Nettes Ambiente. Soweit ich das beurteilen kann, ist es sehr authentisch. Wir waren innerhalb von einer Woche nach Entdeckung zweimal da, weil wir es so lecker fanden. Besonders die Auberginen mit Hackfleisch! Vorsicht aber, es kann sehr scharf sein!

Wir sind zu zweit, haben 2 Hauptgerichte bestellt. Die Mitarbeiterin hat nur für meinen Man gebracht. Mein Mann hat schon fertig gegessen und mein Essen kommt immer noch nicht. Ich will nicht mehr essen und sag mit Mitarbeiterin, ich will nicht mehr essen, müssen Sie nicht bringen. Sie hat gesagt, das geht's nicht. Küche hat schon gekocht, muss ich essen. Und ich muss noch 10min warten. Dann mein Essen kommt, aber Kartoffeln ist noch hart, nicht durch. Ich war unzufrieden. Nie wieder!!

Bien accueilli par le personnel. Commande se fait électroniquement avec QR Code pour afficher le menu sur son smartphone, puis ajout des plats dans un panier pour envoyer à la cuisine avec un bruit qui y résonne. Nombreux plats pour tous les goûts, bien servis en quantité et en qualité. Préparez néanmoins bien vos gorges et prenez une bonne quantité d'eau !

Mein 干锅鸡 war sehr schmackhaft. Es hatte viel frisches Gemüse, darunter aber vorwiegend Kartoffel, und war eine große Portion. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Restaurant ist sehr schön und stilvoll eingerichtet. Der Preis ist mit EUR 18,80 für deutsche Verhältnisse hoch.

Sehr authentisches leckeres Essen. Aber es sollte vielleicht etwas weniger scharf sein. Für mich als Scharf-Esser ist das kein Problem, für andere könnte es aber wirklich zu viel sein.

Nachdem Frau Floß das Restaurant im KStA empfohlen hat, haben wir es am Sonntagabend zu 4 Personen ausprobiert und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Das Essen ist sehr gut, unterscheidet sich deutlich von dem was normalerweise in Chinarestaurants angeboten wird und kommt dem, was wir auf Asienreisen erlebt haben sehr nahe. Gäste waren zu 90% asiatischer Herkunft was auch auf die Qualität hindeutet. Bestellt wir über eine Webseite, die Man am Tisch per QR-Code aufruft. Die Gerichte kommen nacheinander auf den Tisch, so wie sie in der Küche zubereitet wurden. Man bestellt als besser für die Gruppe als für die Einzelnen und lässt es sich gemeinsam schmecken. Das Personal ist freundlich, man darf aber keinen Standardservice erwarten, der fragt was man möchte, ob es schmeckt, etc. Das gehört aber zum Konzept und passt alles zusammen. Wir werden auf alle Fälle wiederkommen.

Gute Atmosphäre, Selbstbedienung, Getränke und kleine Speisen schnell zubereitet und dafür sogar schmackhaft. Aber KEIN Restaurant. Interessantes Konzept bei dem die Kosten der Getränke und des Essens zunächst auf einer Chipkarte zwischengespeichert werden und an einer zentralen Kasse beim Verlassen der Lokalität bezahlt werden.

Never going back to this place. The first time I went there without a reservation, the woman at the counter was standing behind a glass partition. I told her “ein Person,” and she didn’t even bother to come out to the counter or properly acknowledge me. I left. Soon, I called and made a reservation and returned. Unfortunately, I was served by the same woman. She was extremely rude from the start: no eye contact, cold behavior, and constantly whispering something in her own language. Her attitude made me feel like I was begging for food rather than being a paying customer. What made it worse was that I clearly saw her being polite and friendly toward German customers, while treating me very differently. The contrast in behavior was obvious and uncomfortable. After this experience, I noticed a similar review from another customer mentioning that the staff treats Asians differently, which sadly confirms that this may not be an isolated incident. Based on my experience, I strongly advise fellow Asians to avoid this place. I can’t comment on the rest of the staff, but the man who collected the payment was polite and friendly. I genuinely feel sorry for him, as the reputation of the restaurant will also be affected by the attitude of his colleague. My interaction alone with the older waitress was more than enough to ensure that I will never return.

I do not usually leave reviews, but my experience here warrants one. While I initially offered constructive criticism regarding the food quality and atmosphere - which I was invited to share - it was met with hostility. The management became argumentative and resorted to petty behaviour rather than addressing the feedback. Regardless of any future changes the restaurant makes, it does not change the unpleasantness I experienced. While the initial issues might have deserved three stars, the management's decision to double down and argue with a customer drops the score significantly. One star is the lowest rating possible, which is still more generous than this establishment deserves.

The curry soup unfortunately tasted only like chicken soup, and the toppings were very meager for the price 😕 We ordered two extra toppings. Each extra topping cost €4.50. Wonton or dumplings were even €7 each. For that price, you get, for example, three leaves of choi sum and three-quarters of a king oyster mushroom. There's no price difference between meat and vegetarian toppings. When we brought this up, we were told that the ingredients had become expensive and that they were already very cheap. The price remained unchanged. €27 for this soup (€19 for the toppings alone). At fraîche or malatang/hot pot restaurants, you'd normally pay €13-20, depending on the toppings. The fried noodles were okay. The best thing was the chili sauce on the table. Nice and spicy 🌶️ Fun fact: On the way home, we checked the price of organic king oyster mushrooms at Rewe: €3.29 for a whole tray.
