Shanghai Kitchen in Köln

We just wanted broth for a hangover, the broth is good, lovers of fatty and spicy foods will really like it, in principle it was tasty but not on a regular basis, Chinese green tea is just super! Service: one waiter for the whole room, there are a lot of people in the room; she can’t do everything herself. We waited a long time for payment and food with us, cash only!

Let me give the conclusion first: a restaurant that Chinese people should not consider... (or a restaurant that everyone recommends to avoid after reading the reviews) I can only say that I failed to notice the various low-star Chinese reviews on Google Maps in advance... It was also because when I passed by the store entrance, I saw the conspicuous words "Xiao Nanguo" instead of Shanghai Kitchen on Google Maps, plus the entrance The menu has quite a Chinese flavor...I didn't expect it to be Chinese food targeted at foreigners. I thought it was really exquisite Shanghainese food. The only thing that was pretty good was the xiaolongbao, and the other dishes were a disaster... I have never seen such high-priced, small-volume, and unpalatable dishes in many years... I have even eaten in many Asian restaurants that cater to local tastes. It has never been so outrageous. Braised Pork: There are 6 large pieces in total. The fat meat is very greasy, the lean meat is very hard, the seasoning is average, and the odor is not removed well enough. It is barely up to the average level of an international student who has just come overseas to cook for himself. Curry chicken: It has nothing to do with the recipe on the menu. The common side dishes are randomly chopped together, with a little bit of chicken added, and a cheap curry seasoning packet from the local supermarket is mixed with water to make it ridiculous... The picture is a photo taken just after using the chopsticks a few times. Let’s get a feel for the appearance and the weight... The price on the menu photo says... nearly 15 euros... Water spinach: There is no most outrageous thing, only the more outrageous "fermented bean curd" water spinach. The fermented bean curd taste was emphasized when ordering, but when you actually eat it, it tastes extremely unpleasant and disgusting with the smell of shrimp paste... It feels like it is imitating Thai stir-fry. The French recipe is completely imitated... unimaginably unpalatable... The waitress was very responsible in collecting customers' opinions after the meal. She probably wouldn't have thought that I would bluntly say (very low emotional intelligence) that it was just "terrible"... and she asked me to tell me what was unpalatable. It was so convenient. They improve. I used a slightly gentler and more decent tone and wording than the comments to comment on one by one, and got the feedback "This curry chicken is originally made for Germans", and after a deep silence, I muttered "emm, every time Personal tastes are different.” Now I don’t have any expectations for Chinese restaurants here in Germany. They are just a helpless choice for people who are too lazy to cook and have dinner with friends. If you don’t have expectations, you will be disappointed. It really has nothing to do with taste. This meal cost more than 60 euros for two people. In my opinion, it is better to buy a few doners/a few pizzas/a few hamburger set meals. If you have no other choice and unfortunately step into this store, just order a few xiaolongbao, fried pancakes, etc...

My father and I have eaten there several times and are very satisfied with the food there. Authentic and very tasty. Above all, the service is very friendly and interested, which leads to funny and amusing conversations. Gladly again and again…

Fantastic food, fantastic service , we ate our bodyweight and ordered more, it was all perfect, highly recommend

We were there today with 5 people and had a delicious meal. The xiao long bao in particular are highly recommended because they were very fresh and authentically prepared.

We had a delicious lunch ! The starters are unusual and delicious and the fried noodles were yummy !

Great place for gatherings. The overall taste may be too heavy for Taiwanese customers. Personally think it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Cologne. Recommend the steamed sea bass, and the Shanghai pan-fried buns are also delicious!

The best Shanghai goulash soup I have ever tasted. The other dishes are also very authentic and always freshly prepared. Absolutely recommended!!

Great, authentic food. Very courteous service. I'd love to come back

Taste was ok and service friendly but the portions are ridiculous, way too small for the price. 18 euros for a small chicken dish with a tiny bowl of rice is not justified, even taking into account inflation and vat rise. I usually go to 2 other chinese restaurants in Cologne and the portions there for the same food are almost double. The other thing is, you get the bill written by hand on a piece of paper. Not even an official bill. I was left disappointed and hungry.

The best Chinese food in Cologne. Lovely service, fantastic food, correct price. What more could you want? Must-Go in the Belgian Quarter. Insider tip!

As always, very tasty food!!! We go there often. Everything is freshly made and handmade. Always highly recommended - the goulash soup is absolutely recommended!!! Always my pleasure

Delicious food. Nice ambience. A hidden, quiet place in the otherwise wild city. It's worth checking out. :)

We were there for the first time today May 24th and it tasted great. Tip to everyone: take peppers seriously. I took Sichuan-style beef and the waitress said it was spicy. She was right.

Super fresh and perfectly crunchy. I can only recommend coming by, it's 100 percent worth it

Tasteless, poor quality, and not value for money! I ordered a fish noodle soup. Pictured on the menu was noodles in a rich fish broth, with white fish fillet slices, preserved vegetable, and sichuan peppers. What came instead was noodles in soy-based soup that tasted like soy sauce in hot water, tasteless, and two small slices of smelly fried fish with bones, and bak choy. I brought it up with the waitress, and she completely dismissed it, saying the picture is different, that the dish simply says "fish noodles soup"! I asked about the sichuan peppers and preserved vegetables, her response was "sichuan peppers not nice, this is better". Well, it was not.

We had a really tasty meal and we highly recommend it.

Food was very good, portion a bit on the smaller side, but it was very tasty.

Food was dry, small portions and incredibly expensive!

Very good and tasty selection 😊

The food was delicious and authentic. They make their own xiao long bao, Shanghai bao and wonton. Service was great and overall a very good experience. Highly recommend.

Absolutely no go experience. The food was way too expensive and served in a small portion. Guys, don't be fooled by the glitz and fake pictures on the menu. In terms of taste - "everything just fried and cooked in oyster sauce?"...- impression. And the whole thing cost €64.30 🙈 Really bad...Never! I'll never come here again!!!

This restaurant is not recommended. The food is neither authentic to the Shanghai region nor is it well prepared or of high quality. The latter could definitely be expected given the prices. Unfortunately, the portion sizes are also extremely small. In the end you can only pay in cash and the bill comes to the table not electronically, but handwritten on a waiter's note.

It is an authentic Northern Chinese cuisine. It offers a wide variety of specialty dishes. We tried 4 of them and all was delicious. A neat restaurant to dine with friends and family. Friendly and fast service. Cash payment only.

The overall experience was pretty good. Until the time of checkout, the lady boss asked me to pay cash in a very inappropriate tone. I said I wanted to swipe my card, and the lady boss acted like a housewife, as if I owed her something. It's understandable to want to evade taxes, but forcing customers to pay cash is unreasonable.

Been there multiple times. Food is always great, and service is also good

The food is neither good nor authentic. The service wasn't good either and overall I wouldn't come again and it's not worth trying. A lot of things are too soft and overcooked, the Sheng Jian Bao (pan fried pork buns) weren't crispy on the bottom, and there was way too much batter. The soup dumplings had no soup and the meat was tasteless. The Hong Shao Rou (Red Braised Pork Belly) was too salty, swimming in sauce and tough. It says a lot about a Shanghai Chinese restaurant if they can't even get the basics of Shanghai cuisine down.

The food was good, but unfortunately the service wasn't entirely convincing. It took a while for the food to arrive (which the waiter announced), but overall the service was a bit impatient. The portions were okay. The service could definitely be improved. Since I have already tried a few restaurants in Cologne, I would rather spend my money elsewhere.

I don't know where the good reviews come from, we definitely couldn't enjoy any starter, soup or main course. Over-seasoned, burnt taste, wobbly.

Honestly, it wasn't good! One time, the pictures on the menu look nothing like the food that comes next...the spare ribs were so tough, I couldn't chew them, let alone eat them. We had the food returned immediately, then there were discussions... unfortunately our first date there went completely wrong!

Food is subpar, service is absolutely out of place and aggressive when you let the food go back, it's not possible at all

The food was ok but the service was so bad. First of all, we weren't very hungry so we ordered a starter, a main course and two more rice. The waitress (or maybe the boss) looked at us strangely and asked if that was all. After the meal we wanted to pay by card and she said again, annoyed, "I'd rather use a card" even though they have a device for card payments. And then comes the highlight. She calculated everything and we had to pay 39 euros instead of 35 euros. Then I asked if that was correct and calculated it again in front of my eyes and it was correct at 35 euros. So never go back again.

Recommend an authentic Shanghai canteen~ The owner and his wife are in harmony and make money. The dishes are all delicacies that are not easy to eat in Shanghai. The fresh meat mooncakes and shepherd's purse wontons are fresh and delicious. The first day of the new year brings a smooth year ^_^

The food was very tasty! The only thing I wouldn't order again would be the “braised duck” starter because it was leftover duck. Otherwise everything was solid to very tasty and the menu and the shop give an authentic vibe. It's definitely worth a visit.

Super tasty and traditional Chinese food. We were also satisfied with the service, attentive but not too intrusive. Price/performance is absolutely right here.

I really can't understand negative reviews. We tried everything from appetizers to desserts. The service was friendly and willing to provide information. The food was freshly prepared, sufficient, very tasty and hot, which of course entails a waiting time. The price was absolutely reasonable for the quality. The ambience could use some work, but that's a matter of taste. The offered card payment and a proper invoice were a matter of course. We'll definitely come back when we're in Colonia again.

I originally wanted to try Shanghainese food, but I met a middle-aged female employee. I asked her if I could swipe my card. She said you can only swipe your card if it’s over 20 euros. I said I couldn’t afford 20 euros for lunch by myself. She said I could order anything for 20 euros. The nearby restaurants all cost 20 euros. Then I said I wanted to see if I had enough coins to order a 7 euro xiaolongbao. She probably misheard and left. She said 7 euros would make it even more impossible for you to swipe your card. I was very confused why. Isn't it normal for a restaurant to look down on its guests and be insulted if they don't want to pay 20 euros for lunch? I won't come next time ICH WOLLTE EIGENTLICH SHANGHAINESISESISCHES ESSSEN PROBIEREN, Aber Als Ich Auf Eine Mittelalte Mitarbeiterin Traf Und Sie Fragte, OB ICH MIT KARTE ZAHLEN Könne, SA GTE SIE, DASS MAN ERST AB 20 EURO MIT KARTE ZAHLEN Könne. ICH ERKLäRTE, DASS Ich Alleine Nicht Für 20 Euro essen könne, woraufhin sie meinte, man könne leicht für 20 Euro essen, da die Restaurants in der Nähe alle so teuer seien. Ich bin verwirrt, warum ein Restaurant seine Kunden so abwertend behandelt. Ist es nicht normal, wenn man nicht 20 Euro für ein Mittagessen ausgeben möchte, ohne beleidigt zu werden? Ich werde nicht wiederkommen. I originally wanted to try Shanghai cuisine, but when I encountered a middle-aged female employee and asked her if I could pay by card, she said it's only possible for purchases over 20 euros. I explained that I couldn't spend 20 euros on lunch by myself, and she responded that it's easy to spend 20 euros because nearby restaurants are all that expensive. Then I said I wanted to check if my coins were enough to order a 7-euro small dumpling soup. She seemed to misunderstand and simply walked away, stating that she definitely wouldn't allow me to pay by card now. I'm puzzled why a restaurant would look down on its customers this way. Isn't it normal not to want to spend 20 euros on lunch and be insulted? I won't be coming back.

Overall, a very mixed to rather negative experience. The service was not very friendly and the waiting time was extremely long. The dishes differ greatly from the pictures on the menu, especially when it comes to the size of the portions. Luckily we had ordered several dishes otherwise I wouldn't have been full. The food tasted good so far. Asking about paying in cash before ordering, which has already been mentioned several times, is absolutely not appropriate.

Almost zero vegetarian options, food is expensive and not so worth it. Service is very poor. The waitress was rude and very impatient. She told us that it was cash only but then we saw a table paying by card and when I asked to pay with card as well she literally treat us badly. Never going back again, there are plenty of better restaurants just across the street.

Nicht gut, eingedeutsches Essen.

Mega delicious authentic food. Nice and spicy, perfect for winter. The plum wine was very tasty. The Mapo Tofu, pork belly and Sichuan beef are definitely recommended.

Very good food! Much better than the typical Chinese restaurant in Germany.

I just ordered here for the first time. Already eaten on site. I'm pausing the first movie I've watched in months to write this review. What a treat. German tongues are flooded with Europeanized “Asian” food, but “Shanghai Küche” along with “The Great Wall” keep the standards high for good Chinese food in Cologne. I was in China once and still dream about the delicacies I was able to try there. Thank you, Shanghai Küchen, for making it possible for me to dine at such a high level here in Cologne.

Wir haben dieses Restaurant ausgesucht, weil ich unbedingt einmal Xiao long baos probieren wollte :) Im Restaurant angekommen, wurden wir freundlich begrüßt und zu einem großen Tisch geführt - dieser war hinter/neben der Kasse, um die Ecke. Wir waren etwas (positiv) überrascht dass es noch einen zusätzlichen Raum gab. Der Platz hat für uns gereicht das Ambiente hatte seinen eigenen Charme. Es wird viel traditionelles mit modernen vermischt - mit Absicht oder nicht, kann man nicht genau sagen :D Wir waren zu fünft, und haben uns verschiedene Gerichte zum Teilen bestellt - darunter natürlich auch Xiao Long Bao. Da ich keinen Vergleich habe, war es schwer zu bewerten, aber geschmacklich begeistert war ich leider nicht. Ansonsten waren alle anderen Gerichte auch lecker, aber für mich persönlich recht durchschnittliches chinesisches Essen. Kein Gericht hat besonders hervor gestochen. Die Kellnerin war sehr nett, wirkte etwas hektisch, aber stets freundlich. Als wir alle Gerichte bestellt hatten, sagte sie uns, dass es zu wenig sei, und wir davon sicherlich nicht satt werden würden. Wir haben darauf vertraut und noch mehr bestellt, was aber leider am Ende zu viel war, sodass wir auch zwei Gerichte zum Teil mit nach Hause nehmen mussten - das war also nicht die beste Beratung (aber wohl lieb gemeint). Zu 5. haben wir bestellt: 1x Xiao long bao, 2x Sheng jian baozi, 1x geschmorter Schweinebauch, 1x MaPo Tofu, 1x Auberginen + Kartoffeln, 1x Crispy Chicken auf Gemüsebett. Reis gab es noch dazu. Insgesamt fanden wir den Besuch nett, aber es war leider nichts Besonderes für uns. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis finde ich noch im Rahmen, aber die kleinen Gerichte könnten meiner Meinung nach auch etwas günstiger sein. Pro Person haben wir am Ende inkl. Getränke ca. 27€ bezahlt.

Super. Sehr authentisch chinesische Küche

Sehr schlechte Erfahrung. Das Essen hat überhaupt nicht geschmeckt.

Baozi sind Hefeteig Bällchen aber was ich gegessen habe war ein halbgekochtes Weizenmantel. Banana Nachtisch war gar nicht knusprig und Honig fehlte. Extra Reis ist vergessen worden. Nur das Kungpao ähnliches Gericht war ok. Wontonsuppse war auch ok. 50€ rausgeschmissenes Geld.

Kein gewöhnlicher chinese. Richtige spitzen Küche

A weird place I would say! When came in, the lady at the bar just stood there, not talking to any customer, not serving dishes or drinks, not leading new customers to their tables… It took longer for them to bring ur dishes than other restaurants normally. The spicy beef dish I ordered looked so different from the picture in the menu. The beef they gave to me was like a dark soy sauce beef! And I found hair in my chicken as well. Oh, and they allow white customers to pay by card, but if you are Chinese, they will ask you to pay by cash. We all know what this is about, don’t we? Overall, terrible experience. Update on 20/11/2023 after the merchant’s reply: I have added their reply to my review as the last picture. They clearly know what they are doing is both unethical and illegal. I never asked to pay with WeChat as I don’t have any money in WeChat. Nor did the Chinese customer sitting in the same area as me in the restaurant that night either. What happened was, after taking orders, the waitress came to us and asked us if we can pay by cash without saying anything! And she didn’t ask this to the white couple who was sitting between us. Instead, when that white coupe asked for the bill, the waitress brought card machine together with their bill to their table. Shanghai kitchen, stop lying!

Sehr freundlich und lecker. Komme definitiv wieder!!

Das Essen war geschmacklich ganz lecker, allerdings sind 2 Gerichte lauwarm bis kalt gebracht wurden außerdem waren die Portionen relativ klein. Der Service sowie das Ambiente sind waren gut.

Das Essen war sehr lecker. Nur leider haben wir da gegessen und anstelle von 40,90€ mussten wir 45,30€ bezahlen. Dies ist leider ein sehr übler Beigeschmack. Gehen dadurch da definitiv nicht nochmal hin!

Though the food was immaculate, the experience was completely ruined by an incompetent waitress. Such a pity.

A good Chinese restaurant but adapted to the local tastes, in my opinion.

Preis/Leistung hat nicht wirklich gepasst. Wir haben mit drei Leuten ca.70€ da gelassen und ich war nicht satt. So besonders hat es auch nicht geschmeckt.

Lange nicht mehr so schlecht chinesisch gegessen!!! Die meisten Sachen waren völlig versalzen… lieblos zubereitet nicht wirklich authentisch, -es sei denn man verortet TK-Dim Sim und Tütensuppen nach Shanghai. Nie wieder.

Haben bestellt war nicht so toll leider

We came here with a group of colleagues. Service was extremely unfriendly, food took an hour to be served, the actual dish looks nothing like in the menu. I was the only German-speaking person in the group, and I felt extremely embarrassed for the poor service. Definitely cannot recommend this place to anyone!

Autentisk stemning og svær meny. Vi var 14 i selskapet og smakte masse forskjellig. ALT VAR GODT!!! Lite utvalg av drikke, men alt-i-alt en god opplevelse.

Das Essen ist einfach genial! Die Vorspeisen haben mir am besten gefallen und die Hauptspeise ist auch richtig richtig gut! Die zwei Damen, die uns bedient haben waren super nett und hilfsbereit und es hat richtig spaß gemacht hier zu sein!

Xialongbao also known as soup dumplings were very disappointing and no soup at all. The service lady was annoyed at us for wanting to try only a starter. Not a great experience.

The ribs were not freshly cooked and in a lot of sauce and the schezuan beef was a soup. Is it for German taste as it is totally different in the Uk. They did not offer to make me a chicken version so again not freshly made. I was charged €40!! They did not accept visa. Absolutely stunned.

Waren zum ersten Mal da ,Vorspeisen waren frisch und lecker die zwei Hauptgerichte waren sehr schmackhaft und die Bedienung sehr freundlich Wir kommen gerne wieder 👍🏻

Eine weitere negative Bewertung muss ich hier lassen. Ich hatte Rindfleisch mit Zwiebeln etc. - einfach ungenießbar (Kostenpunkt 17 €). Ich weiß nicht was mit dem Fleisch veranstaltet wurde, aber das Fleisch war weich wie Kaugummi und nicht genießbar. Fast gar kein Gemüse. Mini Portionen....Reis wurde extra brechnet, das hat man am Anfang auch nicht erwähnt. Eistee aus Tetra Pack ohne Früchte für 4,90 € anzubieten ist unterirdisch. Die Telleroptik/-größe einfach grauenvoll. Und das wird als Restaurant verkauft. Da platzt mir der Kragen. 0 Punkte!

Das Restaurant was sehr leicht zu finden und auch überraschend lecker. Wir hatten Gyoza und Xiao Long Bao welche wirklich köstlich waren. Der Service war ebenfalls sehr zufriedenstellend und wir wurden warm empfangen. Das Restaurant in einem ist wirklich zu empfehlen.

Vegetarian noodle soup was incredible! Sour and rich, tons of veggies, absolutely delicious. I wish I could have eaten the whole thing!

Wenn man die Speisekarte anschaut, sehen die Gerichte toll aus, aber das tatsächliche Gericht weicht extrem von den Bildern ab. Etwas enttäuschend. Geschmacklich teilweise ok, aber teilweise auch zu salzig.

Top Essen alles frisch Personal sehr freundlich

Eines der besten, wenn nicht sogar das beste Chinesische Restaurant mit authentischer Küche. Nehme mehrmals im Monat dafür 2h Fahrt für uns auf. Immer wieder lohnenswert

Super lecker, authentisch und nett!

Phantastische Suppen, beste Peking-Ente in Köln

Nicht sonderlich lecker. Vorspeise nicht durch, Hauptgang wurde spontan zu einer mittelmäßigen Suppe gemacht.

Essen stark abweichend von de Schaubildern und kleiner in Natura. Hatte die kalte Ende, welche sehr zäh und fettig war. Das einzige was gepasst hat, war die Schärfe. Reis zum Hauptmenu kostet extra. Vieles ist nur mit Schweinefleisch.

Pekingsuppe war ungenießbar, ganz komische Zutatenzusammenstellung. Rindfleisch mit Ingwa, das Fleisch roch nicht gut und auch hier waren die Gewürze irgendwie komisch zusammengestellt. Dazu kommt noch, dass ich für Getränk, Suppe und ein einfaches Hauptgericht 30€ bezahlt hab. Also ich werde weiter um die Ecke zum King Wah gehen ;)

Authentisch wie in Shanghai. Richtig gutes chinesisches Essen.

Der Tipp kam von Freunden. Und ich wurde absolut positiv überrascht!! Service und Essen waren sehr gut.

Mein Freund sah, wie eine Maus unter dem Schrank in die Küche rannte, was den Gesamteindruck völlig verdarb. Das Essen war gut, aber für meinen persönlichen Geschmack etwas zu fettig. Ich habe in Shanghai viel bessere chinesische Küche probiert. Der Service war seltsam, obwohl das Personal höflich war, näherten sie sich unnötig oft unserem Tisch, nahmen die Teller, als wir noch nicht fertig waren, und fragten etwa 20 Mal, ob alles in Ordnung sei. Ich hätte 4 Sterne gegeben, aber die Maus hat alles zerstört.

Vor ein paar Jahren war ich mal hier und fand das Essen gut. Daher habe ich ein paar Freunde mitgebracht, die auch alle lange in China gewohnt haben. Diesmal waren wir sehr enttäuscht — keins der Gerichte war nach unserem Dafürhalten auch nur annähernd authentisch oder sonst irgendwie gut. Schade.

Ziemlich teuer...Essen nur ' lauwarm ':-(

Not recommended at all. The waitress was extremely unfriendly and the portion sizes were misleading. The prices are not on par with the quality and the portion of the food. Totally regret going here.

拉酱面别点 就是汤上面一层辣油加点蔬菜猪肉块 小笼包和服务不错

Das Essen ist o.k., laut Karte ohne künstliche Geschmackverstärker, was ja sehr zu begrüßen ist, aber es fehlt teilweise auch das Aroma. Das Sprechen mit der Bedienung war ähnlich dem Deutsch der Speisekarte. Für den Kölner gab es die "neue" Kölsch-Marke "Sino" zu entdecken - vielleicht doch Kölsch aus Shanghai...?

Ich hatte Tisch reserviert, Trotzdem musste ich 1 Stunde auf Platz warten, dananch 30 min auf Bestellung gewartet und am Ende genau 70 min aun meine Essen!!! Niemals wieder, niemals

Awful. They brought us a bowl with a hair inside. And after we report that they disposed the hair and they refuse to accept it. The behaviour of the staff was really bad and the food was nothing like pictures in the menu. Not recommend at all

The staff did explain that they had more guests than usual, but we must have waited an hour for our order. We pointed at the whole duck in the menu, but got the plate in the picture with just a layer of duck meat above vegetables. This wasn't that unexpected for the price, however. Overall the food tasted nice, and I liked that you can order dishes to share with people, which is like eating at home instead of in a restaurant.

Jedoch sind die Gerichte etwas kleiner als wir gedacht haben, ist die Sauce ganz typisch Shanghai Style! Mir gefällt auch das gastfreundliche Team;) Daumen hoch!

Super netter Service, leckeres Essen, sehr authentisch. Man sollte nur Zeit mitbringen

Very unfriendly and arrogant waitress. 之前几年一直很喜欢去他们家，然而他们家新来的服务员明明是中国人却中文捉急且态度恶劣。 不止一次在电话预定的时候出现沟通障碍。尽管我和我的朋友在电话中反复跟她确认几次，而且她也说了自己听懂了，等我们到店之后却还是一团乱麻。 最恶心的是，我们跟她指出错误，她还一直甩锅，不愿意认错道歉！

Beste Erfahrung! Grandioses Essen! Ich empfehle Aloe Vera zum Mapo Tofu ✌️

Unfriendly waitress. Not recommended.

Unfriendly staff and below standard food

Der Service ist super und das Essen schmeckt einfach gut.

Sehr leckeres Essen und toller Service. Mein letzter Besuch ist leider schon ein paar Monate her, ich werde aber auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Mir wurden tolle Gerichte vorgeschlagen und ich fühlte mich sehr gut aufgehoben :)

Wir waren zu dritt , hatten auch Vorspeisen und haben beim anderen probiert . Es war absolut köstlich , ein wahrer Gaumenschmaus !!!

Il sevizio molto accogliente ma purtroppo il cibo non era affatto gradevole, molto bello da vedere pero il sapore non coincideva il prezzo.

Top essen aber Getränke sind sehr teuer.

OH NO ! Wer weiss wie Leckeres essen schmeckt sollte definitiv NICHT dort hin. Nicht mal 1 Punk möchte ich geben In den Edemames waren kleine Fleisch und Reis reste drinne und komischer weise auch teils mit zimt drauf. Fast alles hat nach essig geschmeckt. Gezwungen nett war das Personal. Besteck dreckig. Kassenbeleg wird wurde nach Anfrage vergeben.

Mini-Portionen, minderwertige Zutaten und schlechte Zubereitung. Nie wieder.

Shocked at the blatant racist attitude the female waitress is having. First she shushes me away from a table which was (really not obviously!) reserved for others, like I am a dog. Then she tells me to "Go out! Look!", when I asked her about the midday menue, AGAIN like I am a homeless person asking for free food. It was ridicoulus the way she treated me. Then, when the food that I ordered was ready, she brang it to my table asking me (in very poorly understandable german) If "I could eat even with chopsticks." Every bit by it's own would've been okay to not take it personally, but after a chinese person walks in, taking the "reserved" place without asking, allthewhile she hastily moves over to remove the poorly placed "reserved" marker. As if it is no matter anymore, that this place is reserved, I snapped. I spoke to my table neighbours, asking if this is the normal way. They said I shouldn't take it personally, but also said the waitress is really special and her bad german might account for the seemingly arrogant and rude way. She could hear me ranting and looked our way as I was clearly pointing her way. So weird to see that this is the moment where she suddenly could ask me if I needed anything else.... all in all a terrible experience from the moment I walked in. Food might be nice and traditional, but i would take any other place in Cologne than this one!

All of the dishes exceeded expectations. We started with simple hot and sour soup, but with a noticeable black pepper flavoring and meaty chunks of mushroom, it proved to be a great enhancement. That was followed by incredibly flavorful cumin beef, followed itself by pork belly so tender that the fat melted in your mouth while the meat delivered rich burst of flavor. Excellent.
