Locky-Umi Asia Fusion in Bielefeld

Simple...prices OK, food great...service professional...thank you...see you soon.

The food was “ok”, but the sushi in Bielefeld tastes better elsewhere! The service was really bad Only cash payment possible (this was only communicated when paying)

Food was tasty, but portion size was way too small.

Reservations are not possible because the employees simply accept everyone and then no one has a place

Great price-performance ratio! However, you can only pay in cash.

As always, amazing food. We ordered a Phò, Būn Thit Nūong and fried chicken with rice. It was quite evident that every dish was freshly prepared and served, no microvave crap here. The outdoor seating was pleasant and the service was quick. One cannot expect more from a restaurant I think. We will definitely keep coming back for more 😉

We made a reservation on a Friday evening and were able to get our table after a short wait. The order was taken quickly and after a short wait (we didn't look at the clock) the food arrived as ordered. Only the room acoustics left a lot to be desired. The smooth ceiling noticeably reflects sound. We went home full and satisfied. We will come again. Note: ONLY cash payment possible!

Not recommended for allergy sufferers Beware of allergic shock after sushi, which supposedly should not contain the allergen. As a result, denying the possibility of having made a mistake!

The waiter seemed as if he didn’t want to be there and that rubbed me in a wrong way. When my food arrived I was rather disappointed at the quality of the veggie dumplings. The amount was little and the shell was a bit firm, it also didn’t taste good. The only thing I enjoyed was the drinks. I can gladly say this is my first and last time I’ll be visiting this place.

Unfortunately the new store is very loud. Tables not wiped down. Service leaves much to be desired. The staff still can't do the math and just throws together the prices.

Nice restaurant, but the employees took ages to arrive, even though it was 6 p.m. on weekdays. The food looked great but unfortunately the taste wasn't great. Unfortunately I won't come again.

Extremely good sushi but also other dishes that are very good

I visited this sushi place with my sister and daughter, hoping to treat them to a nice meal. We placed an order, but things quickly went downhill. They brought us sauce dishes with broken plates, and the Philadelphia rolls we ordered had barely any fish in them—not to mention the other ingredients that were clearly missing. When it was time to pay, we were suddenly told that they only accept cash. No one had mentioned this before. I had no cash on me and asked to speak to a manager. They told me to find him at the bar. I went over and asked, and the man there, who said he was the manager, told me again it was cash only and that I had no other choice. He even asked me to leave my passport or phone and go find an ATM to withdraw cash. I explained I was new to the city and didn’t even know where to find an ATM late in the evening, but he didn’t care. He briefly mentioned PayPal as another option, but I don’t have it. Meanwhile, they were loudly talking and shouting in Chinese around us, creating a scene that made all the customers stare. It made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. I never want to repeat this experience and would not recommend this place to anyone. The sushi is tiny, tasteless, and overpriced. The service is terrible—nobody smiles or apologizes, and they make you feel like you’re the problem just because you can’t pay in cash. The dishes had cracks and chips too, which says a lot. A piece of advice for the manager: inform your customers before they order that you only accept cash. Don’t surprise them at the end of the meal and put them in such an awkward situation. I just wanted to treat my loved ones, but instead, the evening was completely ruined thanks to your poor service.

Waited for over 15 minutes and were not served, poor service could really be worked on, People who were there after us were more likely to be served!

Is recommended. The service leaves a little to be desired. Reservations in particular are not taken seriously and often too few plates/cutlery/glasses/serves are brought.

Unfortunately the restaurant didn't convince us. The drinks were overly sweet and the food was average. We missed fresh vegetables - instead there were more old ingredients. Overall, nothing special. Unfortunately, compared to other Asian restaurants we have visited so far, this one fares poorly. We won't be coming back.

Super tasty, friendly, clean and fast.

My girlfriend and I found the food very, very tasty. I've never had such delicious sushi before. Service is great, the employees are very nice and take care of you. It is definitely recommended!

The food was great but unfortunately you can't pay with the card, just cash!

The food, staff and drinks - everything was great No chance without a reservation The only thing that bothers me is the volume and it's a bit chaotic

Best restaurant in all of Bielefeld :) 10/10

I've never rated anything poorly in my life because I assume it's usually an exception and I've usually been right. Now let's be honest: I ordered something to pick up by phone yesterday. We went through the order together again to make sure we had everything right and on the phone I said my wife had given birth and a huge request was sushi. We paid for our order and half got the wrong one and half didn't get it at all. Paid 54 euros for a few makis and hardly anything worth mentioning. Complaining wasn't possible because we had the order delivered by a friend and then taking it away from my wife was no longer an option. The person on the phone should simply recognize the importance of their job when drastic experiences in someone's life are mentioned. I cannot convey the disappointment my wife must have felt. It's too long but I hope no one ever has to experience something like that again.

Great, authentic Asian food. We order there frequently and so far everything has tasted great. My personal favorite is pho with beef. When you pick it up, the food is still very hot even after a 20 minute return journey!

Unfortunately a disappointing experience. The edamame was completely overcooked and inedible. The sushi was not tasty in terms of taste and was absolutely not justified for the price. In addition, the food came far too quickly, which gives the impression that little care was put into its preparation. Overall, poor value for money – definitely not a recommendation. It's a shame, because when the shop was smaller, the food tasted much better. The service was very friendly and attentive, but unfortunately that couldn't compensate for the disappointing quality of the food.

Unfortunately I can no longer recommend it after the move. Quality and service has deteriorated significantly…

You can get delicious Vietnamese food here. The tempura in particular were super tasty.

With my little culinary experience, I still highly rate this restaurant. First is customer service, I have to say 10 no buts. Because the staff here gave me a very familiar and comfortable feeling like being at home. Second is the food, I love the food that the restaurant offers. It's really delicious. Because its taste is very similar to what I ate in Vietnam. The restaurant atmosphere is very good. The style is very modern and also mixed with Asian culture. In short, you should stop by to experience it. And remember to bring an empty stomach ;))

good food, very friendly staff. 😘😘😘

Very nice asian restaurant. Good portions, good prices, everything clean and fast preparation.

We called in advance to see if a table was spontaneously available. We were assured that we could come by and that something would be available straight away. When we arrived 15 minutes later, there was already a queue outside that had been waiting in the cold for half an hour. Absolutely inappropriate. They could have told us that it was already overcrowded and that the trip wasn't worth it if you didn't want to wait in the cold for over 30 minutes. Never again!!!

The food was average. Unfortunately, the staff was so unfriendly and also "forgot" part of the order. Communication wasn't particularly easy either.

I was in this establishment for the first time. The food ordered was very tasty. I will definitely come again.

Very good Asian cuisine at reasonable prices.

I was at this place yesterday, the sushi was delicious, but at night I got a headache and fever, I felt nauseous! In addition, you cannot pay by card there. I don't recommend this place!!! I demand all my money back.

The food is delicious, but unfortunately no card payment is possible, neither with Elder EC card nor with Visa card, that will no longer be possible in 2025 people...

Food came quickly, salad was dry because there was no dressing, nice atmosphere even if it was a bit cramped. I would recommend getting the Crunchy Rolls.

A good restaurant with Asian cuisine. The food tastes good, the staff is friendly and the ambience is fine. A decent price/performance ratio and a lively atmosphere attract me again!

Super bad service! Reserved table was not prepared. The service staff runs in sweatpants. The starter and main course were ordered through the store. A main course didn't come at all, despite repeated requests.

Changed too much. Still okay to dine out but compared to a year ago.... i was very disappointed as the flavor, service, atmosphere changed from a family run restaurant vibe to a lounge somewhat.

The service was poor. They did not clean the table, we never got enough utensils (we were 6 and we got 3, and another time we were 4 and we got 2) and we noticed that they don't know that well the menu. The food was ok.

Worse Service ever!! the tables are sooooo dirty. Too bad for the food is great. The guys barely understand German… They barely understood when we ordered. They brought us wrong Order few times. Bad Service! their attitude is really awful.

Unfortunately, our visit to this restaurant was very disappointing. At first we were kindly assigned a table, but shortly afterwards another employee came up to us frantically and rudely said that we had a maximum of 40 minutes. When I asked whether we should stay at all, he replied annoyedly: “I don’t care.” Such rude treatment of guests is unacceptable. You don't feel welcome here - I definitely won't be coming back.

Price-performance-wise the best sushi shop in the area

Super tasty! Even after the move, the food is still of excellent quality! The service is good and everyone is very nice. Only cash payment possible

The food was great but unfortunately the service wasn't.

The atmosphere and food were very good, but the service was the worst: they mistook our orders on drinks and food several times. Payment only with cash, and no receipt received even if we wanted it.

Cash payment ONLY and no service! Definitely the last time there today! We ordered 2 drinks, a starter and two main courses. Drinks and starters came quickly, a main course came while we were still eating the starter and the second main course???? None. We asked politely and the very annoyed and taciturn waitress left without saying anything. Came back shortly afterwards and just said: Coming straight away! Another 20 minutes still no other main course. We asked for the bill from the same waitress. Nothing happened. So We turned to another waitress who then cashed in on us. There was a short discussion about the missing main course because we should pay for it. Ultimately we didn't pay for the missing dish. There was no word of apology or anything. Service simply non-existent. The starter and one main course were fresh, hot and tasted good, but not recommended for a shared meal. It was also very narrow and loud.

We ate here today.. unfortunately the food wasn't beautifully presented.. rather listless on a large pizza plate.. the eye doesn't eat here anyway.. the taste was okay.. the service here still has room for improvement..

Unfortunately, the service deteriorated extremely after the move. The family warmth has been lost. You get the impression that as a guest you are a burden and should disappear quickly. Things used to be different. The food is still very good. Cash only!

In short: the food was good, but I was bullied by the 'lady' at the counter because I asked for a cola that still contains carbon dioxide so that I don't taste water with sugar. Impossible person, never been yelled at.

I really enjoy eating there, but unfortunately this time it was a disappointing experience. The service was poor and the impression was that we should get up and leave quickly. The food wasn't good either and the waiter started arguing with me when I expressed my opinion. That was really disappointing

The shrimp fried rice was delicious.

Correct Correct!!!!!!!! Great .. just YUMMY!!!!! No wonder it's so full, we've reserved a table, which makes it better. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏽 it was really good

Very unfriendly shop, just wanted to use the toilet, would have paid €50. Still didn't let me.

It was a great visit with you again. The sushi was again very tasty and beautifully prepared and the service was very friendly.

Everything great! Are regular customers

We were there for the first time today and found it comfortable. The sushi was really, really good. Great value for money. Unfortunately, no card payment is possible, which I personally don't think is a good thing. So we had to look for a bench before eating. But we would eat here again.

Ate at Locky-Umi for the first time, on a Tuesday in December at 6 p.m. — it wasn't crowded, it was relaxed, it was quick, it was a feast for the eyes, it was delicious! Everything was very nicely prepared (if you want to know exactly: the numbers 2, 7, 10 + 51…), friendly service, not too expensive! The menu is huge, we stuck with the Vietnamese dishes; there is still a lot to discover. Recommended!

If you don't feel like chatting while eating, then the restaurant is perfect for you. Extremely loud and crowded, employees shouting throughout the restaurant and a bell whose harsh tone gives you goosebumps with every order. Noises come from the kitchen like those of a battlefield. The staff is very hectic, unfriendly and likes to round up tips themselves after you have asked to pay several times and after asking the third time, the staff also brings the bill. Only cash payment possible, raises suspicion of “tax-neutral working hours”🧐 The toilet floor was so sticky and dirty it could have acted as a fly trap. The food was okay, hence the 2nd star.

I would come here again for the food, but the staff didn't convince me at all. The waiters are totally unfriendly and seem overwhelmed at their job, even though the restaurant was empty. We received food that we didn't even order. After we raised this, we didn't even get an apology, which I think is just plain rude. In addition, my Sprite had no carbon dioxide at all, which is why I asked for a new one. The only answer I got was "No, it's not possible." receive. The atmosphere in the restaurant wasn't particularly nice either, as the employees AND their children were shouting angrily at each other. But I can highly recommend the sushi if you don't value good and friendly service. 😉

With a reservation, you don't necessarily expect to have to wait 20 minutes outside the door.

Reservation doesn't help. Despite this, you are still expected to wait 20 minutes for your table. Food doesn't taste good either.

I enjoyed being a guest here for a very long time, but I noticed the changes leading up to the new store opening and can give the following conclusion: The portions have become SMALLER and savings are being made wherever possible! The sushi pieces are getting thinner and narrower and the portion of rice for my chicken mango dish became smaller but suddenly salad is added to it? (It wasn't like that before!) You think your customers don't notice this, but they definitely do! I have shown this shop to many friends and work colleagues, but I will now strongly advise them not to come and eat here. Here you only pay for air. If you change the portions then adjust the price! So you lost me and many other customers! Too bad!

The food is simply very tasty. I love the cuisine. This won't be my last visit👌

Had dinner there with friends. Were moved twice because a larger group came. Unfortunately the restaurant is very cramped. The sushi platter we ordered was very tasty.

Great in terms of taste and price! The dishes including starters were served quickly. However, the store is far too crowded, loud and doesn't invite you to linger. The service also gives the impression that as soon as you've eaten your food, you should quickly vacate the place.

In general too salty for fried noodles and rice with sauce. The pho was delivered very late to the table compared with the other two main courses, which we think they forgot. Red wine was ok, service was ok, and the environment was good. Cash only. No credit cards!

As usual, sushi was very, very tasty - and the new restaurant right around the corner finally does justice to the great food (even though I found the old shop quite cute if a bit chaotic 😉) - I'm thrilled! 🤩 🥰

It's a shame a lot has changed since this restaurant moved to larger premises... the warmth has been lost... you feel like you're in a quick snack bar... the young man who greets you doesn't even say good evening, just how many people?! Then he puts the menu in your hand and you then go to the table?! That was new! My order was probably too slow for him so he knocked on the table with his finger...?! During the time I was in one of my favorite restaurants, he screamed the whole time through the shop... Unfortunately, friendliness looks different. I for one will no longer enter this restaurant after over 3 years of loyalty. Kind regards to the friendly owners it's a shame...

It was our first time there and only by chance and it was good

The best Asian in Bielefeld! By far, even!

A good restaurant with good Asian food. I had lunch there, we ordered a few things and everything tasted as expected. I particularly liked the duck, and the restaurant also offers a large selection of good quality sushi. The only drawback was that there were a total of 4 young boys in the restaurant who were constantly yapping. I would like to think that dogs might not be allowed in as usual. Otherwise good restaurant!

As always, very tasty, unfortunately one point deducted because it is very loud inside. The tables are all very close together

Good prices for the quantity you get! Menus are definitely worth it. The menu for two was the perfect amount, beautifully presented and particularly delicious!! I've eaten here several times and everyone I've brought with me has been very happy. The staff are polite and the waiting time is reasonable. I will definitely eat here again and recommend it! :))

The portions, particularly of the pho soup, have become noticeably smaller, and the new location has unfortunately lost much of its original charm. The atmosphere is more reminiscent of a loud canteen, which means that the coziness falls by the wayside. The service seems a bit overwhelmed when the number of guests is high. Due to the changed atmosphere and the lack of ambience, I would no longer recommend the restaurant.

Food is delicious but the music is crashing! If I want to listen to club music, I go partying and not eating Asian food!

As usual, the food was delicious here! The ambience is modern and quite nice, the larger one misses a little bit of the quaint charm of the small shop. (For example, the otherwise new-looking chair had a wobbly backrest) Service was friendly and helpful, but unfortunately EC payment was not possible! That's not really modern anymore... I hope this is just temporary. I would also want to give 5 stars for the food if the quality of service (including card payment) were better. Nevertheless: really great food for the prices!

The old restaurant in a new look. The move went well. The food and service are still very good. The new restaurant is very comfortable to sit in.

The portions are large, everything is delicious

IMPOSSIBLE! My girlfriend called and ordered us food to pick up and said we would come pick it up in 20 minutes. When we got there they just started preparing the food. The food was prepared incorrectly twice and then discussed with us. Mistakes can happen but I lost my appetite, especially when I saw the garbage can. (If you know what I mean). But feel free to take a look at the pictures for yourself! Sushi had the taste of a tavern and at least you won't get it wrong twice.

The ambience has a bit of a dated charm to it. What seems authentic. We liked it very much. Comparatively cheap prices and good food.

Just go and try it! Always worth a visit! Absolutely great 🚀

There are many children running around the restaurant. This makes me uncomfortable. The food doesn't taste that good.

Clear recommendation! Delicious food, quick, at a great price and a good selection. Unfortunately they didn't have everything that was on the menu, which was only a slight negative.

Food very good, service takes a long time and is inattentive. The place is very loud.

The food tasted ok, but unfortunately the service was the opposite and we didn't have a good experience with it.

Stay away from the Pho! After we were told that there were no more noodle dishes available and that the kitchen closed at 10 p.m. (we were there at 9:15 p.m.) and that we should hurry up with choosing our dishes, we decided on sushi and a pho. The sushi was okay, although the rice was way too mushy in my opinion. However, when the pho arrived 10 minutes later than the sushi, my friend and I were shocked: the smell of this soup was obnoxious and reminiscent of cow excrement. Since I've had several pho soups in other cities and restaurants, I knew that pho normally does NOT smell like that. Unfortunately, the taste of this soup wasn't particularly enjoyable either. When we got up (the bowl of soup was still full of course) to pay, we were shocked by the price: €43, for two drinks, a mediocre portion of sushi and a pho. When the woman who cashed us noticed our shock, she suggested in the most outrageous way that we could just give her the 50 bill, turned around and cheekily laughed up her sleeve. Since we didn't know this woman, the service wasn't the best and it was the worst pho I've ever eaten, we found this "behavior" anything but funny. Never again!!!

Authentic Asian food. Nice location, good service.

Very tasty food in a simple atmosphere with attentive service, plus prices that don't discourage you from wanting something extra. We really enjoy eating Asian/Vietnamese here.

Absolutely terrible! Snack bar, kindergarten and drinks center? 1st was served by children at 9:30 p.m. Very questionable!!! 2. Even more children who belonged to the restaurant were playing football around the tables, so I was constantly careful not to throw the food off the table. That was total stressful. 3. From 10:30 p.m., bottles were sorted and boxes moved in front of the door for at least 20 minutes. It jingled terribly loud and annoyingly. 4. suddenly a car parked right next to our table and drinks were being loaded. People were shouting from the shop across the restaurant and the many children were constantly running around the tables. I couldn't call it a cozy evening. The food was nicely prepared and tasted average. We definitely won't go there again. Then it's better to go to a restaurant with privacy. A pity

The ambience is very simple and at first you feel like you are at a fast food restaurant. But sushi is super tasty and totally fresh. Only recommended

Nice restaurant, small but nice! I especially found the food very tasty. The ambience is great. About the staff: super nice, but we had to wait more than 40 minutes for our food. As compensation we received side dishes on the house. Very nice! It was definitely just an accident.

There were two of us there, my food came 5 minutes earlier than that of my companion. Nevertheless, the quality of the food was good.

Unfortunately the food is no longer that exceptional, probably a new chef. The fact that card payments are not possible is very negative. A rogue who is doing ………

Very friendly, but half of the menu wasn't there and the waiting time is definitely unreasonable if you're hungry.

Unfortunately I wasn't happy with my visit. We had reserved a table, but it was so brutally warm in the shop that we sat outside in the rain. It took a very long time for the remains to be cleared away by the previous guests and only because I pointed it out. In general, I also had to ask about the service so that we could even place an order. When I asked what the difference was between the two dishes, I was answered: I don't know. So the service needs to be improved. The food came completely mixed up and was delayed for a very long time. A plate of dumplings. Then long later the sushi for me. It was packed carelessly on a white plate, not as nice as in the photos. In terms of taste, it wasn't great either; I've eaten much better elsewhere. Then the second plate came when I finished my sushi. The other two plates only came after the waiter told us what was still missing. Catastrophic. You can only pay in cash and there is no bill, very strange. The counter is also way too small and cluttered. When you pay, you can essentially haunt the drinks of the guests who are next to be served. Drinks even without ice cubes. Above all, my Coke Zero came and then after a long time the three other Cokes. The fried noodles tasted the best of all the dishes. For 4 people with sushi and 3 main courses, 4 colas and baked banana we paid around 75€. Basically not a recommendation from me and we won't come again. Very unfortunate and sad about the negative experience.

In my opinion the best sushi in Bielefeld!!

Very nice staff, very tasty food. I really enjoy eating at locki umi!🥰😀

The food was great! Was there for my birthday and everything was perfect, very great service and very friendly. Prices are good around €13-15 per person. I recommend as a starter: seaweed salad, dumplings and miso soup. Very great taste and highly recommended! However, card payment is not possible

We've probably ordered/eaten sushi here 50 times. The menu for 3 is also great for 2 people. Always really tasty :)))
