Hong Kong Dim 香港店 in Köln

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.

This was one of the most disappointing noodle experiences I’ve had in a long time. If you’re craving authentic Hong Kong–style curry noodle soup, do yourself a favor and walk right past this place. I paid an extra €0.50 for “curry,” but what arrived was basically clear chicken broth that must have briefly walked past a jar of curry powder. It had about as much curry flavor as tap water with ambition 😅 The topping system deserves an award—for confusion. From the fourth topping onward, each one is €4.50 extra, and if you pick wontons or dumplings, that becomes €7 extra. I ordered king oyster mushroom, pork spare ribs, wontons, enoki mushroom, and choy sum. The total came to €27. Yes, you read that right: €27 for a bowl of noodles 🤔 Given that price, I expected at least a respectable amount of toppings. Instead, I got three tiny spare rib pieces, three wontons, three-quarters of a single king oyster mushroom, a few bits of choy sum, and what can only be described as “a suggestion” of enoki mushrooms. For €19 worth of toppings—three of them vegetables!—I half expected them to send me home with the rest of the veggies as a souvenir. But no 🫠 When I asked the owner, she explained that the ingredients are expensive. As someone who actually shops at Asian markets, I can confidently say: no, they’re really not that expensive. And if the pricing only makes sense when you order all meat toppings, then something is seriously off. Vegetarians shouldn’t have to subsidize meat lovers. Just price the toppings individually instead of using a flat fee that makes no sense 😐 Bottom line: the curry wasn’t curry, the portions didn’t match the price, and the whole experience left me feeling like my wallet deserved an apology. I won’t be returning, and I’d suggest you think twice before stepping in—unless you plan to order a maximum of three toppings and nothing more.

Very tasty, friendly service, and very good value for money. Highly recommended.

It's clean and has a nice atmosphere. Despite being a cha chaan teng (tea restaurant) style, it's not noisy at all. Classic Cantonese songs are playing. This time, I only ordered egg waffles, milk tea, and lemon honey for dessert. It was a nostalgic treat! I'll definitely try their noodles next time.

I’ve been coming to Hong Kong Dim for 7+ years and the food has never disappointed once. You create your own Hong Kong–style soup with fresh ingredients, and it’s always delicious. Family-run, super friendly service, authentic atmosphere and most importantly consistently amazing food that leaves you feeling great. Always a highlight to eat here. 10/10, highly recommend!

Super delicious food 😋 no. 61 and 68

Guangzhou people say it’s really authentic!

Ever since we discovered HK Dim, we’ve been going there every two weeks 💆🏻‍♀️ or ordering online. The food is really good — their chili sauce is top-notch! The owners are incredibly nice and friendly. You can truly feel how much they care about serving you well. Every corner of the restaurant is clean, including the WC. When we order online, she always waits until a delivery person is available before she starts cooking — so the food arrives just as fresh and delicious as it would be in the restaurant. Insane in the best way! 😆

Great shop for all soup lovers. You can create your own soup here. Always delicious and fresh. A lunch special would be great! ;)

Cha siu with rice and Singaporean noodles are delicious! The shopkeeper is also very nice; I love coming here :)

Really good quality and taste: if you put the noodle soup in the foreground: top base, delicious and fresh toppings. Nice service, nice and quiet atmosphere!

Food not particularly good and not enough either. Super unfriendly staff.

Not far from Cologne Media Park, there are some parking spaces for residents nearby, but they are not particularly easy to find. The photos of Hong Kong shops on the wall are very impressive. The layout inside is the same as that of a Hong Kong tea restaurant, but the distance is much wider. The chef and waiter can only speak Cantonese and will take you to Hong Kong in a second Iced lemon tea with steel straw is also a Hong Kong specialty. I believe the food is also authentic Hong Kong style. I ordered the dry-fried beef river. The beef has a certain chewiness, the smell of the pot is fragrant, the taste is delicious, not salty, and there is no oil. It is very authentic and uses a lot of ingredients. 4.7/5 The interior of the restaurant, including the restrooms, is very clean, without the greasiness of some Chinese restaurants. Overall 4.6/5

Very delicious! Double Egg BBQ Pork Rice

A very delicious Hong Kong restaurant with 100% Hong Kong flavor. There are many delicious Hong Kong-style foods, including BBQ Pork and egg rice, Hong Kong-style milk tea and a self-selected Hong Kong noodle meal. I will come back again.

All in all, I had a positive experience here. My "Cha Siu Daan Faan" (honey marinated pork neck steak with rice, fried egg and vegetables) was very tasty. The neck steak with its sweet and spicy marinade was particularly convincing. In my opinion, the prices are very fair for Cologne standards. Our waitress was very nice and the restaurant seemed clean. Unfortunately, it was a bit noisy on our last visit due to a construction site on the opposite side of the street.

Here you can put together your own soup or rice dish with different toppings. We often visit here during our lunch break. Highly recommended. Very good value for money.

The best and most authentic Hong Kong style tea restaurant I have ever been to in Germany and even Europe! Top and authentic Chinese restaurant!

Always a pleasure – Hong Kong Dim in Cologne Today I enjoyed going to Hong Kong Dim again during my lunch break. This time we had two new work colleagues with us - and their enthusiasm literally jumped from "really soup" to "that's fabulous" to "super delicious" as they ate their soup. I have been a regular customer since my first visit and we come by regularly to enjoy our soup. My favorite is the curry soup, but today I chose the beef soup (see photo). Unfortunately, Tuesdays are a day off - a shame for the colleagues who are only in the office that day. Hong Kong Dim is one of my firm recommendations for guests who visit us in Cologne. We're even happy to take a detour to eat here. I can only recommend everyone to try the soup at least once - then you'll know! This corner of Cologne has excellent Thai, Cantonese (Hong Kong cuisine) and Chinese dishes. Instead of competing, these restaurants complement each other perfectly. If one of them is too crowded, there are two other excellent alternatives in the immediate vicinity. Each shop has its own style, but all offer top-notch food. Hong Kong Dim is something very special – definitely worth a detour! In addition to soups, there are also many other delicious dishes here.

Delicious ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh This is the taste of home Beef soup and beef brisket are heavy, and beef soup is suitable for thick noodles. It’s delicious. The milk tea is also delicious. I haven’t tried it in Hong Kong, but I can’t recommend this one.

Very tasty, pork in honey sauce is simply gorgeous :) And there is also a wide variety of noodles and toppings to go with it!

It's a very delicious, affordable shop with friendly and attentive service. The only drawback is that it often takes a long time to wait for the food to be served.

If you wish to know what Hong Kong people ate everyday, here you can taste it. Beef balls, chicken wings, curry noodles + chili oil Xingzhou rice dried beef + frozen lemon tea You can find such wild food wherever you go in Cologne, it’s perfect!

😡Very very unfriendly paid for food not received very rude, the driver would probably have just left the food downstairs at the main entrance (if it was at least there) what kind of drivers do you have who just leave the paid for food outside so that I keep it short my food wasn't delivered money won't be refunded either, well apparently you need it 40€ richer pfffffff just outrageous 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I had a noodle soup. The broth was really delicious. The only criticism: the portion could be larger.

Good, authentic food! The dishes are fresh and taste like home-made. Highly recommended!

Very nice food with real flavours from Hong Kong and quite fair prices. My dish with meat had plethora of it and was delicious. Would definitely recommend

A restaurant with original Hong Kong cuisine and excellent quality. The wait was long, the staff was apologetic and served the best Chinese dishes I've ever eaten. The Cha Siu Daan Faan is highly recommended.

Mega delicious soups at a very affordable price.

Very very tasty and authentic. A real insider tip!

Very good place to eat. Ordered the beef stir fried noodles as recommended by the owner of the place and I loved it. Service is good, food is delicious and has a good price. Highly recommended!

Fantastic, authentic Chinese food. Very nice staff who are accommodating.

To be honest, I have never had a very good, tasty Chinese soup. She was so delicious!!! But how delicious 😋 how mom cooked it... Wow is all I can say ♥️

Good, friendly service. Chicken broth with yau min noodles was very tasty. Toppings are exactly my thing. Lotus, spare ribs wonton. I can highly recommend it.

Noodles soup with clear soup. I recommend the thin noodles. And the Cha Siu (BBQ Pork) is so delicious. Served with white rice and 2 sunny side up eggs👍🏻👍🏻 Addition… for topping, wantan is almost a must for me.

The boss’s playlist is my favorite!

When you think of this authentic restaurant you immediately think: “Schmackofatz!” We ate delicious pasta with plenty of chili oil while enjoying some delicious beer. We loved the Fu-Chuk and the friendly service. Here you can experience real Hong Kong ambience (without the smog).

It's a bit sad because they are not willing to speak Chinese to me even they can understand me... I spoke English to order instead and they started to confirm in Cantonese. I could understand maybe they don't speak Mandarin but this is very unlikely bc I heard one of their employees speaking Mandarin all the time (how could you communicate with each other?). I hope as same ethnicity you could try to show more kindness to people who look way more similar with you which now I didn't feel at all. I like the food and it makes me think of time when I was in Hong Kong. But I won't come again bc such cultural disrespect... ;) Btw, a white guy comes 10 mins later than me got his noodle soup 15 mins earlier than me and his only two of us customers in the large restaurant (~20 tables). This is very interesting. (I ordered only a noodle soup with toppings not slow to cook & a drink, that's all. I almost miss my concert after it... (planned 40mins for the meal time and spent 1hr+ in the end). All the best in Germany. --- It's a bit sad because they are unwilling to speak Chinese to me even though they can understand me... I spoke English to order instead and they started to confirm in Cantonese. I could understand that they might not speak Mandarin, but that is very unlikely because I heard that one of their employees speaks Mandarin all the time (how could you communicate with each other?). I hope that as a member of the same ethnic group you could try to show more kindness towards people who look much more like you, which I haven't felt at all. I like the food and it reminds me of the time when I was in Hong Kong. But I won't come back because that's cultural disrespect... ;) By the way, a German man comes 10 minutes later than me and gets his noodle soup 15 minutes earlier than me, and we are only two customers in the large restaurant (~20 tables). This is very interesting. (I just ordered a noodle soup with side dishes that don't cook for long and a drink, that's all. After that I almost miss my concert... (I planned 40 minutes for the meal and ended up taking over 1 hour) . All the best in Germany.

Super tasty, especially #61! The soup menu also has something for everyone

I enjoyed the food very much. I would definitely go again.

wer gern frisch, authentisch chinesisch isst, ist hier richtig. Die Suppen sind m.E. die besten in ganz Köln und der Service ist immer freundlich.

Regular ambience but the service and food were great. Their specialty is noodle soup with a choice of toppings that you want. Not bad at all.

Barbecued pork with double egg rice, Xingzhou fried rice, dry fried beef river, all are delicious. The stockings milk tea and lemon tea are also delicious. Even a person who has never eaten at a Hong Kong 🇭🇰 restaurant can accept it. The lady boss is very friendly. When you order stockings milk tea and lemon black tea at the same time, she reminds you not to drink them together, as it will cause a stomachache. Hong Kong Dim is a restaurant worth visiting again and again. Will go again if I have the chance

The food was very authentic and delicious. The food took me straight back to Hong Kong and brought back all the memories of my last trip. I can only recommend it.

Demands money from Lieferando employees who deliver their orders in order to use the toilet.

We are happy to eat here every time, no matter what dish it is delicious 😋

well beyond my expectations, very good food

This cuisine is extremely authentic and the concept of putting together noodles or soups with different toppings is really successful. I have visited Hong Kong Dim several times and can recommend the restaurant without reservation!

I really want to eat at this restaurant every time I come to Cologne😋 Black pepper pork chop, Yangzhou fried rice, fried beef chop, pork chop rice and braised chicken wings are all highly recommended! The store clerk is also very nett! 👍

The super authentic barbecued pork rice is even better than some restaurants in Hong Kong. Hahahaha. It’s great!

Delicious, good and very friendly advice on how to put together the soup, original concept and atmospheric furnishings. We'll definitely be back :).

The place isn't particularly nice, but it's very clean, the service is very nice and the soups are simply unbeatable.

Authentisch 10/10 und sehr lecker!! 🤝🍜

wontons were super tasty — classic pork and shrimp. Would definitely get the thin noodles next time, wide ones were a lil too aldente for my taste. super friendly staff and outdoor seating. Hong kong style black tee and milk is a must. Cash only!

Edit: minus one star because it's really expensive now :( Super tasty soup noodles and egg waffles!

Super delicious food! Very authentic! 好吃！太好吃！秒回亚洲啊！唯一缺点可能就是不能刷卡..

Essen ist ok, aber Ambiente von einem Fast Food Laden - Durch die Nähe vom Cinedom durchaus besuchbar, aber nicht mein Favorit

Unfassbar leckere und authentische Nudelsuppe! Komme immer wieder gerne :)

Wie immer ist die Suppe der Hammer! Auch die Kombinationen aus Brühe , Nudelarten und weiteren Zutaten passen alle! Der kalte Tee nach dem Essen ist auch zu empfehlen. Gerne wieder! Macht weiter so!

Edit: Mehrmals wurden die Preise angezogen, nun 3 Toppings in Suppe 15€, vorher unter 10€ - sorry aber für den täglichen Mittagstisch (!) nicht mehr empfehlenswert. ---- Leckere Suppe, die man sich selber zusammenstellen kann, kann man als Mittagessen ganz gut essen

Very friendly staff, delicious and tasty food. Absolutely recommended!

Super lecker. Sehr authentisch. Super empfehlenswert. Wir kommen immer wieder.

Bardzo dobra zupka,najlepsza jaka jadlem👌😉👊

Eine positive Überraschung. Als ich mich die Karte angesehen habe, kam die Kellnerin direkt vorbei und hat mir das Konzept des Ladens vorgestellt. Alle Gerichte waren sehr würzig ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Ich müsste wahrscheinlich länger suchen um etwas zu finden, worüber ich mich aufregen kann.

Große Auswahl und sehr lecker. Gerne wieder! :)

Lecker! Hier gab es die Ente mit Gemüse in Curry Sauce für mich. Die kann ich empfehlen. Krosse Ente auf Salat mit einer leicht scharfen Gemüse-Currysauce. Wer Kokos mag, als Getränk unbedingt mal Hung Dazu Bing dazu ausprobieren. Insgesamt empfehlenswert.

Das war einfach nichts, die Nudeln in der Rinderbrühe waren sehr bissfest und einfach zu wenig, die toppings waren genau 3 wan tan. Geschmacklich sehr anislastig (schmeckt irgendwie weihnachtlich) aber nichts Besonderes, Service auch nur ok. Wir werden nicht nochmal hingehen

Super lecker und super nettes Personal

Nice Cha Chan Teng in Cologne, Germany. Feels like home in Hong Kong!

Suppen sind realtiv lecker....leider extrem Teuer geworden. 15€ für eine Suppe mit Toppings, die sonst unter 10€ gekostet hat. Schade!

War lecker, Besitzerin etwas eigenartig. Essen nun extrem im Preis gestiegen. 3 toppings von 9.5€ auf 15.€

汤面的汤和浇头都非常棒，有点可惜面不是现做的，否则就完美了！冻柠蜜也好喝☺️☺️

Sehr lecker, super Konzept das man sich die Suppe selber zusammenstellen kann. Riesen Portion und günstig.

Außerordentlich gut! Ich finde man hat etwas längere Wartezeiten für das Essen, aber das Warten lohnt sich! Ist gefühlt immer mit Liebe gemacht und schmeckt sehr authentisch. Die Bedienung ist super freundlich und das Ambiente ist ebenfalls sehr gemütlich und entspannt. Immer wieder gerne. Update: wir waren schon wieder dort und es wieder einmal super lecker! :)

Super lecker und auch recht preiswert ... Leider muss man doch sehr lange auf seine Speisen (bei uns waren es 2 Suppen) warten >35 Minuten ... Das ist aber dann auch die einzige Kritik die mir einfallen würde. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Update nachdem wir ein paar Mal noch hier waren, war die lange Wartezeit doch eine Ausnahme Update 2023 Leider sind die Preise überaus hoch angezogen ... Was letztes Jahr an einer Nudelsuppe 11,50 Euro gekostet hat, kostet heute 17 Euro. Bei den Preisen ist es für uns leider nicht mehr wirklich attraktiv. Der Preis hatte in der Vergangenheit über die eher schlichte Bestuhlung und den Imbiss Flair hinweggetröstet. Es ist dennoch lecker gewesen, aber in dem Fall probieren wir uns lieber woanders durch.

Wir bestellten den 干炒牛河und die Topping-Nudelsuppe, das 咖喱鱼蛋und die 牛腩 waren lecker und man kann sie mitnehmen, das Chili-Öl war ziemlich scharf, ich war tatsächlich von der Schärfe schockiert 🤩; die Getränke im Hongkong-Stil schmeckten gut mit vielen Optionen, so dass ich die letzten zwei Tage nicht in den Kölner Milchtee-Laden gegangen bin 🤣; leider spreche ich kein Kantonesisch, der Service war toll!

Gehe seit Jahren hin und liebe die Rinder- und Hühnersuppe. Leckere WanTan und eingelegtes Rindfleisch. Yummy! Definitely a go to!

Ausgezeichnet! Sehr leckeres Essen - nahrhaft, ausgewogen, delikat. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Leckere Suppen in sauberer Location.

Highly recommended. Typical HongKong dishes. Noodles with milktea, just prefer. Fair price with decent portion as well

Just tried lunch there. It was so yummy and made me want to cry!! The boss is really nice too.

Delicious real Hong Kong food. I go there whenever I have home sick!

Authentic Hong Kong imbiss. The taste of the food is really heart warming. Wanna come back again

Great food really recommend the char siu, food is served so quickly, friendly staffs, the place is clean and they also asked for vaccination certificates for dine in (which makes me feel safety to eat inside). Super recommended!

The place is so cozy and it feels great just sitting there and chilling. The staff also was so helpful and friendly. The food tasted so much delicious and it would be great to drop by. Regarding the pricing is reasonable.

Leckeres Essen aber zur Mittagszeit 60 Minuten Wartezeit ist einfach viel zu lang! (Der Laden war als wir kamen nicht stark besucht)

Suoer lecker essen ,und sehr freundliche Bedinung

Unfreundliches Personal, Geld gierige und unhygienisch!!!!!!

Hier kann man imho sehr gut essen. Wunderbare Zutaten, sehr schöne Saucen, perfekt "gewoktes" und mundgerechtes Gemüse (also nicht so hektische Riesenbrocken mit angriffslustigen Ingwer-Splittern...) in großer Vielfalt. Mit das zarteste und leckerste Huhn, das ich jeh gegessen habe. Die Speisekarte ist etwas schematisch und mir fehlte da mehr Info zu den einzelnen Angeboten - deshalb habe ich mir beim ersten Besuch kein eigenes Gericht zusammengestellt. Nächstes Mal bestimmt: Ich glaube, hier kann man querbeet einfach alles probieren und es ist gut. Sehr freundlicher Service verbunden mit perfekter Hygiene. Danke und bis zum nächsten Mal!

It’s soooooo good and really a decent HK meal for a reasonable price! Even in Paris I didn’t have try so good HKese food. Recommend their ice YuanYang, and beef as topping!

Very nice staff and very helpful. The place was a little bit busy and it took a while to get the food on the table.. Food was kind of cheap. We ordered the noodles and they were nice.

Essen ist sehr lecker aber 3 Euro für einen Klecks süß-sauer Soße finde ich schon etwas übertrieben...

Essen war lecker, Bedienung freundlich. Jedoch haben wir über 45 Minuten auf unser Essen gewartet.

配料的牛腩跟魚蛋非常厲害，雞蛋仔意外的好吃！ 整體價格不貴，CP值很高

Great tasting and affordable Hong Kong food.

Schlechtestes Chinarestaurant wo ich je gegessen hab. Essen hat überhaupt nicht geschmeckt und von schlechter Qualität. Außerdem schlechte Auswahl. Habe außerdem eine Lebensmittelvergiftung davongetragen. Hoffe der Laden wird geschlossen

等很久將近50分鐘餐才來，乾炒牛河還有一點點焦，比我們晚到的人但是菜比我們早到，不知道為什麼。如果知道要等那麼久應該事先告知，可以決定要不要繼續在這邊吃而不是等那麼久。

Essen lecker , jedoch wartet man lange auf sein Essen. Heute haben wir 1 Stunde gewartet und am Ende getrennt gegessen. Mein Mann war schon fertig, als mein Essen ankam. Geschmacklich sehr gut, daher zu empfehlen. Aber Punktabzug für die unglaublich lange Wartezeit.

Feels like back in Hong Kong! Local wine is also available here, and it's good.

Generously portions fish ball Hor fun with a very generous amount of vegetables. Welcoming Hong Kong owner who greeted me in DE and HK. The place seems severely understaffed as it took 10 minutes for ordering to happen and serving speed was close to 23 minutes after ordering. Most of the time I saw only the female owner running around, while a younger girl only appeared at the end, taking her very sweet and the most leisurely pace possible to clean up the table. While serving speed has its limit, do consider using the chit system like Din Tai Fung and the infamous Tam Jai in Hong Kong to speed up ordering.
