Locky-Umi Asia Fusion in Bielefeld

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

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...

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.

Generally a good restaurant. Gives me a glimmer of hope that one day there will really be an authentic Asian restaurant in Bielefeld. I would be happy if a few more traditional Vietnamese dishes were added to the menu. Wish the restaurant continued success!

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 ………

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.

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

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 :)))

Sushi shop is out of sushi (7:45 p.m.). Parking ticket + waiting time for free thanks for nothing! Plus the service doesn't speak German.

Great place. Would definitely recommend!

As always, the food was very tasty and of good quality! The service is always very friendly. It should be noted that it is always relatively full so you should come early if you don't have a reservation. We also ordered the family sushi menu, which took a relatively long time, but we were given edamame as a starter as compensation.

Food was very tasty and reasonably priced. It's easy to sit outside when the weather is nice.

Food is very good but reservation was forgotten??

My absolute favorite restaurant! Everything so fresh and delicious! Personally, the sushi tastes a bit too sweet and has little flavor but everything else is just great.❤️

I ordered to be picked up and the food was ready in 5 minutes when I arrived. Had a very tasty meal, I can only recommend it

Had duck, I've never eaten it so badly. Aperol Spritz tasted like nothing.

Food tastes good - ambience is ok outside - it wouldn't be my thing inside

The food is delicious and the service is very nice. It looks very nice, for example the lamps and the windows. There is a wide variety of food.Thanks for the delicious food. Written by my 11 year old son.

I thought the store was really great until recently, but now it's ruined me! For the last 3 times I've been throwing it up again and again.. it just tastes like water!! When I asked about the sauce in the rice, I was only offered a different one because they didn't want to make the sauce from scratch, but rather give me the one that was left in the pans... hardly anyone there understands me about that, even though I wanted baked chicken They brought me normal chicken (stripes) when I spoke to them I was insulted and it was my fault. They didn't bring me a new one unless I ordered it separately. I gave this shop a chance 3 times but no! Catastrophe! Food and friendliness… What a shame.

Small but nice! The shop is a bit secluded and tranquil, but the sushi there is simply fantastic. Here freshness gets a new definition, nowhere else have I been able to eat fresh sushi that tastes so great!

Geschmacklich sehr gut. Einfach eingerichtet, eher eng, freundlich und schnell bedient. Der Laden wechselt bald seinen Standort. Nicht gut war die Rolltechnik bei den Sommerrollen als auch beim vegetarischem Sushi. Leider nicht stramm genug gerollt, sodass sich die Rollen entrollten, bzw. die Füllung herausfiel.

I love it! Delicious, authentic and super fresh dishes, all served in an unasuming, understated little restaurant. That's how asian food should be enjoyed!

The sushi is quite good, the rice is cooked a little too soft and therefore doesn't have the optimal consistency. The service is quite chaotic, reserving doesn't mean you'll actually have a table when you come. It just shortens the waiting time.

Locky Umi offers outstanding sushi with excellent quality and taste! My favorite in Bielefeld and the surrounding area. I can only recommend!

A super tasty Pho. It is served with Thai basil, sprouts, lemon and chillies. Tastes really delicious. I was sad when she was gone. There could easily have been more in the bowl...

We picked up the menu for 2 to take away, it was incredibly delicious and freshly prepared in front of us. Highly recommended!

Charming little restaurant with very tasty food, good portions and very nice staff. I always enjoy coming here! The duck is highly recommended!

It's a shame, yesterday I wanted to invite 3 friends from further away here for my birthday. I had reserved a table a week in advance. When we arrived, however, the store was already overcrowded; there were a few guests there without a reservation, as well as another group with a reservation for whom there was also no more space. We were briefly asked whether we had reserved by email (whereupon I stated that the reservation was made by telephone) and then we were simply left without any further information. After 15 minutes, without being noticed again by numerous staff, we left and looked for something else. So I can't rate the food, but the food on the other guests' tables looked appealing. Unfortunately for me the whole thing was a very unpleasant situation for my guests. Of course, it can happen that something gets mixed up with the reservations, but the fact that you then simply ignore your customers and don't even explain what's going on and what could happen next is, in my opinion, absurd. To be honest, after such an experience, I probably won't try here again.

Super fresh and delicious food. The service is super good and they always find an optimal solution if you want something different. Everything is super fresh and always recommended 👍🏻

Sehr leckere vietnamesische Gerichte. Pho mit Rindfleisch und mit Tofu beides sehr lecker (und sehr großzügige Portionen). Reisnudeln mit vietnamesischen Frühlingsrollen ebenfalls sehr lecker und zu empfehlen. Service ist schnell und freundlich. Das Ambiente ist ganz urig und gemütlich, man sitzt recht dicht beieinander, finde ich persönlich aber nicht schlimm.

Sehr leckeres Essen und sehr lieb zu Kindern!

Die Situation im Resturant selbst ist leider nicht zufriedenstellend, da es wirklich ein kleiner Ort ist. Ohne Reservierung ist es schwierig ein Platz zu finden und auch mit Reservierung von z.B 2 Personen kann es sein das man mit fremden am selben Tisch sitzt. Das Essen ist schön angerichtet und schmeckt auch gut soweit. Beim sushi ist die Art wie die Platte angerichtet ist schöner als der Geschmack selbst, Geschmacklich eher Mittelmäßig. Sonst ist alles in Ordnung. Preise sind noch in Rahmen. Das Personal ist freundlich und das Essen war trotz vieler Kunden, nach Ca 15 Minuten am Tisch. Die Erfahrung ist es aber mal wert wenn man Asiatische Küche mag.

Das beste Asia Restaurant in dem ich je war! Leider etwas ungemütliche Stühle ohn Lehne aber ansonsten wirklich top!!

Gutes Sushi und die Standard "Asiapfannen" sind auch sehr gut. Das Highlight für mich ist jedoch der vietnamesische Teil der Karte. Bin jedes Mal total begeistert.

Das leeckerste Sushi der Welt!!! Diese crispy Rollen sind der Hammer 😃

Kann mich nur anschließen. Toller preiswerter Laden. Hatte vietnamesische Pho Suppe spezial mit dreierlei Fleisch. Toll in der kalten Jahreszeit um sich aufzuwärmen. Aber Vorsicht mit dem roten Chili im Salat. Wartezeit war auch super kurz. Das Personal freundlich. Ambiente lädt zum Verweilen ein.

Das Essen ist wirklich sehr sehr gut, eins der besten vietnamesischen/ asiatischen Gerichte die wir je gegessen haben. Der Laden war proppenvoll, trotz dem kam das Essen super schnell. Bis hierhin 5 Sterne + Im Restaurant ist es eher hektisch und eng, die komplette Familie hilft im Service mit. Man fühlt sich wie in einem Familienlokal in Südostasien. Bei der Bedingung kommt es wirklich drauf an wen man erwischt… Hätte leider wesentlich freundlicher und bemühter sein können, deshalb leider einen Punkt Abzug.

Das Essen ist sehr lecker und wunderschön präsentiert !!! Die Besitzer sehr freundlich. Eine absolute Empfehlung !🫶

Das Essen ist sehr lecker, die Karte bietet vieles der asiatischen (speziell vietnamesischer) Küche. Die Pho Suppe ist ausgezeichnet. Mango Lassie sowie die hausgemachte Limo sind sehr lecker. Schade ist, dass man nicht mit Karte zahlen kann. Fehlt mir tatsächlich. Für einen gut besuchten Laden setze ich Karte und eine Rechnung voraus.

Leckeres Essen, Sushi werden à la Minute vorbereitet. Familiäre Atmosphäre und nette Bedienung, absolut empfehlenswert.

Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Man typisch vietnamesische Gerichte probieren, sowie auch japanische Sushi. Bedienung war auch sehr nett und sehr aufmerksam. Leider ist das Platzangebot sehr beschränkt.

Very cool place. Delicious food, cheap prices and good service.

Für alle die vietnamesische Küche liebe , ihr Lieben auf rein mit euch in das Lokal ! Super authentisch super frisch und super schnell habt ihr 1 a Essen auf eurem Tisch stehen mit netten Servicen freundliches Team was man als Gast total spürt und mitbekommt und schnell steht euer frisches Essen und leckere Getränke auf eueren Esstisch ! Tolles Lokal absolute fünf Sterne für dieses Lokal! Preis u Leistung sind 5 Sterne in jeder Hinsicht Wert !

Wurden sofort nett empfangen, hatten einen kleinen aber ausreichend großen Platz. Der Service war schnell und freundlich. Das Essen war lecker, hatten zwei Vorspielen und vier verschiedene Sorten Sushi. Alles frisch und der Geschmack hat 100%ig überzeugt. Komme gerne wieder in dieses Lokal!!!

Es ist schon das 2. Mal, dass ich hier gegessen habe. Das Essen wird sehr schnell auch bei viel Betrieb zubereitet und schmeckt sehr sehr lecker! Der Service könnte etwas schneller arbeiten und weniger am Handy sein, ist aber trotzdem nett gewesen.

Also man kann hier gut essen und wird auch nicht enttäuscht, denn man kriegt was man erwartet. Preislich ist es auch voll in Ordnung und würde es auch weiterempfehlen.

Vietnamesische Küche. Sehr gutes Essen.

Toll gestaltet und sehr leckeres Essen

Had a desire for some Vietnamese food so decided on this establishment. The online menu looked like the real deal. Arrived at noon when they open for lunch and got a table. Good thing I was there at opening time because every place was filled by 1230. Appears to be very popular. I ordered the spring rolls (Nem) for starters and they were excellent. Large, filled with shrimp and pork, rice noodles and herbs. Served piping hot. Next I had the beef Pho. The generous bowl was served with a separate plate of fresh coriander (cilantro), Thai Basil, mung bean sprouts, sliced hot red pepper and a lemon wedge. After loading the bowl of soup with the herbs I dug in. This is absolutely the best, most authentic pho that I have had since dining in a Vietnamese community in Galveston or in the San Francisco bay area. No wonder the place was packed. Most of the seating is outside in front of the restaurant with several tables in the dark, uninviting interior. Service was excellent. I felt sorry for the one waitress who was really overworked but remained friendly in spite of the stress. This is now my number one restaurant in Bielefeld.

Günstiges, liebloses essen... keine Ahnung wieso der Laden gehyped wird. Shushi nicht lecker, Ente auch nicht wirklich und die Erdnusssauce ist ein Witz.

Das beste Essen! Egal ob Sushi, pho oder etwas ganz anderes, hier kommt jeder auf seine geschmacklichen Kosten! :)

Ehemals war dieses Lokal ein von mir häufig besuchter türkischer Imbiss. Durch die neue Aufmachung auffallend hatte ich Lust dort einmal essen zu gehe. Das Getränk (Limonade mit Minze), sowie das Sushi waren sehr lecker. Das Ambiente war der Lokation entsprechend gut und am Service tadellos. Verhältnismässig gibt es in Bielefeld marginal besseres Sushi (z.B. Kometsu), allerdings war dieses ebenfalls sehr empfehlenswert und einen Besuch definitiv Wert.

Rechtzeitig reserviert - trotzdem 20 Minuten auf den Tisch warten 8 Frühlingsrollen bestellt - nur 7 bekommen. 1 Gericht mit Glasnudeln bestellt - Normale, kalte Nudeln bekommen.... Das Essen kam nacheinander - wir mussten einzeln essen. Bei 6 Personen. Bei unserem Besuch war der Laden leider komplett überfordert. Das Essen ist aber gut.

Tasty and affordable Asian dishes! Fried chicken is top!

I ordered pho which tasted very authentic, there was also served a side dish (bamboo shoots, parsley or coriander and chilli) which I'd never seen before! The family who runs the restaurant is friendly and welcoming, even though I had to go to them to place my order since they didn't come to my seat

Ich habe hier mit Arbeitskollegen zu Mittag gegessen und uns hat es sehr gut geschmeckt. Ich hatte den gebratene Reis mit gebackenem Hühnchen, dazu tempura und frittiertes sushi.

Wir gehen schon einige Jahre hierher. Unsere Erfahrungen sind sehr unterschiedlich. Der Chef ist immer freundlich und ruhig, entgegenkommen. Das Personal hingegen sehr unterschiedlich. Oft sehr unprofessionell. Aber eigentlich stets bemüht sich auf deutsch verständlich zu machen, was wirklich schwierig ist. Mit etwas Mühe kann man "erfühlen" was gemeint sein könnte. 1x musste ich mich wegen eines absolut fehlgeschlagen Getränks beschweren. Die Zitronen Limo, angeblich mit frischen Limetten und Minze, kam komplett i und alles als braunes Getränk papp süß an dem Tisch. Als ich anmerkte, dass ich das nicht bestellt habe gab es ein riesen Theater! Als wir heute wieder hier waren, hat die Ehefrau mich wegen des Vorfalls vor gut einem halben Jahr dermaßen angegangen, eigentlich hätte ich das Lokal sofort verlassen müssen. Habe mich trotzdem entschieden zu bleiben, und ihr zuzuhören. Wer weiß welchen Frust spre noch auf der Seele hatte und am Ende war alles wieder OK. Hoffentlich...

Very good food in a very good location!!!

The food was good in taste. But they used old vegetables and we understood by the texture of the vegetables. Please bring CASH for payment. No cards.

Nettes kleines Restaurant in der Altstadt. Innen sowie Außensitzplätze vorhanden. Das Essen wurde frisch zubereitet und war preislich und geschmacklich OK.....

Gebratene Nudeln lecker aber etwas teuer! Bedienung freundlich , Ambiente gut , bei der Abrechnung etwas aufpassen!

Leider hat es mit der Reservierung (schriftlich und bestätigt) nicht geklappt. Kann passieren. Völliges Desinteresse angesichts so eines Fehlers aber eigentlich nicht . Sehr schade und unprofessionell.

Wir hatten Udonnudeln mit Hühnchen und 2 Sushi Variationen, Rainbow roll und Spicy tuna ,besonders die Rainbow Roll war ein Geschmackserlebnis. Dazu noch selbstgemachte Zitronenlimonade. Ein kleines und feines Lokal.

Best duck I have ever eaten! Friendly staff, small and cozy location. Will definitely come back whenever I get the opportunity.
