Sidewalk ASIAN STREETFOOD in Kiel

Great food, great prices, great service!

We had a waitress that evening who didn't give us a single smile. Which wasn't so bad now. What was more interesting was that I wasn't as impressed with the food as other Asian restaurants. In terms of taste, it wasn't a dream for the palate. The serving of the food was nicely done and it was a very large portion - unfortunately more in the direction of “quantity rather than quality”. I found the atmosphere very nice!

Wer gerne beim Essen friert, wenig Wert auf guten Sevice legt, geschmacklich beim Essen gerne Abstriche macht, lange auf reservierte Tische wartet oder vor Ablauf der reservierten Zeit zur Bezahlung aufgefordert werden möchte, ist in diesem Restaurant genau richtig. Wir hatten uns unser Valentinsessen allerdings anders vorgestellt und werden dieses Restaurant weder erneut betreten, noch können wir es weiterempfehlen.

Sweet and sour chicken, could also be called chicken in water. It just doesn't taste like anything... not sweet, not sour, salt was probably forgotten too... Horribly bad and was also delivered completely cold Never again!

The food was delicious, the cleanliness around it could be better

Incredibly bad customer service – absolutely not recommended I ordered from the Sidewalks restaurant in Kiel via Lieferando and completely used the stamp card, which gave me a voucher. I paid for my meal with this voucher. After waiting for two hours, I received a call from the restaurant telling me that they did not accept my voucher and that I should resolve the issue with Lieferando. You are obliged to accept such vouchers because they are part of the Lieferando system. Nevertheless, the restaurant strictly refused to deliver the food. There was no apology or suggestion for a solution - I was simply left out in the cold. In the end I was left without food and was allowed to chase my money at Lieferando. The treatment of customers here is simply disrespectful and completely unprofessional. Anyone who treats their guests like this should seriously consider whether gastronomy is the right area. My experience was a disaster and I can only advise anyone not to order or eat here. Customer service seems to be a foreign concept here, and if you value reliability or fairness, you've definitely come to the wrong place with Sidewalks. Stay away from this store!

Wir waren zum zweiten Mal im Sidewalk am Brauereivirtel (alte Burgerbank). Generell gefällt uns dieser Laden deutlich besser als das original Sidewalk, da es zumindest etwas großzügiger gestellt ist. Wer eher asiatische Strassenlokalathmosphäre sucht, ist im Ursprungslokal weiter Richtung Dreiecksplatz besser aufgehoben. Positiv: das Essen war geschmacklich gut Negativ: Der Reis war kalt und es gab trotz Kritik keinen neuen. Auch das eine Hauptgericht war nur lauwarm. Leider war das bei uns kein Ausreisser, das zu kalte Essen wurde an mehreren Nachbartischen moniert. Bedauerlicherweise reagiert das Servicepersonal nicht darauf (und ausserdem: was macht die Küche da? ) Der gesamte Gastraum ist viel zu kalt - ich habe die ganze Zeit überlegt, ob ich meine Daunenjacke anziehe. Ja, Heizung ist teuer und vermutlich ist es durch die Glasfronten schwierig, aber so ist das ungastlich. Zumal es jedesmal massiv zieht, sobald neue Gäste kommen. Wie bereits beim ersten Mal war an allen Tischen zu beobachten, dass es keine Koordination durch Küche oder Service gibt - das Essen wird irgendwann serviert, so dass die Gäste vielfach gezwungen waren zu warten und ihr Essen ganz kalt werden zu lassen oder getrennt zu essen. Für diesen Imbisscharakter sind die Preise aber zu hoch. Fazit: geschmacklich durchaus gut mit ungewöhnlichen Noten. In punkto Wärme (Gastraum und Essen), Koordination und Umgang mit Kritik definitiv noch reichlich Luft nach oben.

Very nice restaurant, delicious food. Unfortunately, when it came to the drinks, you weren't asked if you wanted to drink again... the restaurant was full, it was a bit too much for the two waitresses... but we'll be back!

We were there again on Saturday evening. When we arrived it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday evening (3 tables occupied). I had fried noodles with shrimp and was a bit skeptical when eating because the shrimp were basically cold. I felt extremely sick on the way back and my fears came true. I've been sick with food poisoning ever since. The shrimp had probably been lying there for a while because there was so little going on. An absolute disaster. We also did the math at home and realized that we had been charged €10 too much. We will not visit the restaurant again! Something like that shouldn't happen.

Order via Wolt was probably given to the wrong person. The restaurant then refused to remake the order. The food is good on site and the atmosphere is ok, but stay away online.

Inviting at first, disappointing after the meal.

Dieser Restaurantbesuch war eine einzige Zumutung und gehört zu den schlimmsten Erlebnissen, die ich je hatte. Ich frage mich ernsthaft, wie dieser Laden auf so viele positive Bewertungen kommt – komplett überbewertet und ein absoluter Reinfall! Das Essen war unterirdisch, geschmacklich auf dem Niveau eines durchschnittlichen Asia-Imbisses, und dafür so viel Geld zu verlangen, ist schlichtweg dreist. Der absolute Tiefpunkt: In einem der Gerichte war ein Tier! Und das haben wir erst bemerkt, nachdem wir schon die Hälfte gegessen hatten. Als wir das Personal darauf hingewiesen haben, gab es keine Entschuldigung, kein Bedauern, nichts! Stattdessen nur ein achselzuckendes „Ach ja, die Tiere“, als ob das völlig normal wäre. Offenbar ist das hier kein Einzelfall, und das ist einfach nur widerlich. Im November, bei schlechtem Wetter, ein Tier im Essen zu finden – das sagt einiges über die Hygiene in diesem Laden aus. Wer so etwas durchgehen lässt, hat keine Ahnung von Gastronomie und keine Wertschätzung für die Gäste. Auch der Service war eine Katastrophe. Wir waren zu viert, und das Essen kam in einer vollkommen chaotischen Reihenfolge: Zuerst ein Gericht, dann ein falsches, später zwei weitere, und das letzte kam, als der erste schon längst fertig war. So etwas habe ich noch nie erlebt. Das war keine Bedienung, das war ein Trauerspiel! Zur Atmosphäre: Ja, das mag Geschmackssache sein, aber für mich war es einfach nur unangenehm. Der Raum sah aus wie eine heruntergekommene Studentenkneipe, die sich wohl mit dem Begriff „Streetfood-Ambiente“ herausreden will. Eng, stickig, heruntergekommen – wenn der Laden voll gewesen wäre, hätte ich mich nur noch unwohl gefühlt. Und der Preis ist der endgültige Hohn: 93,80 Euro für 4 Personen – für dieses Essen, diesen Service und diese „Erfahrung“. Das ist eine Frechheit sondergleichen! Für so viel Geld erwarte ich Qualität, einen professionellen Service und zumindest das Mindestmaß an Hygiene. Fazit: Dieses Restaurant ist ein Skandal. Miserables Essen, unverschämte Preise, chaotischer Service und Hygienezustände, die mir die Sprache verschlagen haben. Ohne das Tier im Essen und die komplett fehlende Entschuldigung hätte ich vielleicht noch ein Auge zugedrückt. Aber so? Nie wieder! Ich rate jedem dringend davon ab, diesen Laden zu betreten. Ein Alptraum, den ich schnellstmöglich vergessen möchte.

Peanut Peace used to be one of my favorite curries in Kiel. It's a shame what has become of it. The portions have become significantly smaller, but more expensive and are neither visually nor taste-wise reminiscent of the great curry from back then. For me it was my last order today, which is a shame.

We were there with 5 people (in the small restaurant). Unfortunately, almost all of our food was lukewarm, and the food didn't come together, so we all had to eat at a different time. For about €180, which we left there, it wasn't that great.

Order home delivery online. Delivery from UberEats in 50 minutes. My wife liked dim sum and you crunchy rolls. Even if the portions were rather small. Unfortunately, Ga Chua Ngot seemed very carelessly prepared and of poor quality. It really annoyed me at just under 16 euros for the dish.

The main course of flat rice noodles was good. Unfortunately, the desert ice cream in a dough shell was not recommended or did not meet the requirements of a freshly prepared dish 😉

I had the classic pho soup and it was super tasty. On a separate plate there were lots of fresh sprouts, coriander leaves and chilli, as it should be.

The food was very tasty, great! Unfortunately the service wasn't on point today, so one point was deducted. (1 hour wait for food) The toilets weren't very clean and the sauce dispensers on the table were crusty and dirty. Point deduction.

There are two stars for the delicious food, but otherwise we absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant. I don't know if I've ever been treated so badly anywhere before. An absolute disgrace. After eating we were forced to pay with the information that the next guests would be waiting. It wasn't mentioned before that we only had the reserved table for about an hour and there were 7 of us!! We couldn't even finish the glasses. No recommendation.

Food was okay... unfortunately we were escorted out after the meal (after 1/2 hour) even though we had reserved the table for 7 people 14 days in advance. Reason... People are at the door and would still like to eat today... ...we definitely won't be coming back... really a shame...

Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere

Das neue Sidewalk im Brauereviertel vormals Burger Bank . Reserviert online , hat nicht geklappt ! Tisch bekommen und irgendwann dann bestellt nach mehrmaligen Nachfragen. Vorspeisen und Hauptspeise. Waren noch bei der Vorspeise, da kam schon das erste Hauptgericht. Leider nicht heiß ! Die anderen Hauptgerichte kamen dann 10 Minuten später ! Auch nicht heiß ! Nachfrage das es ja schön wäre bei 4 Leuten das Essen zusammen zu bekommen : Zitat: Wir sind kein deutsches Lokal , da ist das so! Somit hat sich der Laden für uns und unsere Freunde erledigt !

The ambience and food (former Burger Bank) was more reminiscent of a cheap fast food restaurant. Mass-produced goods carelessly heated in a wok and drowned in soy sauce. Wrongfully hyped. Unfortunately, the food and atmosphere cannot be recommended.

The food was ok, but also very expensive. The decor is very busy with plastic deer and steaming fountains. Very kitschy. There are huge, visible cauldrons on the side. In between, computers pointlessly parked. The tables are very narrow. The toilets are absolutely unpleasant: dirty and smell very unpleasant. Everything and everything very unspectacular. There are better Asian restaurants in Kiel.

I have always been very impressed with you. Unfortunately a bitter disappointment today! Reserved a table for 7 p.m. and everything worked out! Drinks and food came very quickly. Unfortunately you seem to have changed the dish BoluLac! The meat was always excellently marinated and very tender, unfortunately it is no longer prepared that way. When asked, they immediately re-prepared it and apologized for it. The new dish was served again with more sauce and onions, there was no new rice. I accepted it and wanted to point it out again at the end of the evening. Unfortunately, this didn't happen again because at 7:47 p.m. we were asked whether the leftovers should be packed up and whether we should please pay because the joke would be passed on! I hadn't even finished my drink yet! When I asked if it was normal to leave after 47 minutes, because of other guests, I was just dismissed with a shake of the head and the reason that that's how it was. It's really a shame because I've always enjoyed staying with you over the last 3 years!

I received a voucher for my birthday. Now my wife and I were there to redeem it. Before ordering I said I had a voucher. The waitress says, sure, we'll do it when we pay. We ate lavishly, when we paid the same waitress said the scanner for the voucher (which had a QR code with the details) was broken and if I couldn't show the receipt, she couldn't redeem the voucher. Of course I didn't have it (and neither did the gift giver, you don't need it because of the QR code). I then paid, threw the voucher at the waitress's feet and left. Don't go there, they are thieves.

There were two of us in the restaurant (former Burger Bank). Unfortunately, I expected much more than what we found. The tables are much too close together so that you can hear the conversations of the neighboring tables without much effort. I could still live with that if it was worth it for the food and service. But unfortunately none. The crunchy rolls that we wanted to share with the starter were quite ok. But not particularly. Since we didn't get an extra plate, we had to put the napkins (thin paper napkins) underneath. Afterwards we asked for fresh cutlery and a new napkin. The waiter told us that it would still work. Only after asking several times did he bring us what we wanted. The main course was really limp. No spice in the food. It tasted like it had been diluted with water. The menu also described the meal with jasmine rice. But we got tasteless basmati rice. Too bad. The service staff were obviously interested in us leaving as quickly as possible. Immediately after the meal, not only our plates but also the glasses were cleared away. We then wanted to pay and told the waitress, who then asked us to pay our bill at the counter. There we had to wait in a long line that ran between the narrow tables for about 15 minutes to pay. Overall, it gave the impression that the guests were supposed to have a quick chat. You can't feel good and enjoy good Vietnamese food here.

Ich hatte einen Gutschein zum Geburtstag geschenkt bekommen. Nun waren meine Frau und ich da um ihn einzulösen. Vor der Bestellung sagte ich, ich hätte einen Gutschein. Die Kellnerin saget, klar, machen wir dann beim Bezahlen. Wir haben üppig gegessen, beim Bezahlen sagte die selbe Kellnerin dann der Scanner für den Gutschein (der mit einem QR Code über die Details ausgestattet war) sei kaputt, und wenn ich nicht den Kasenbon vorweisen könnte, könnte sie den Gutschein nicht einlösen. Den hatte ich natürlich nicht (und auch nicht der Verschenker, braucht man ja wegen des QR codes auch nicht). Ich habe dann bezahlt, der Kellnerin den Gutschein vor die Füsse geworfen und bin gegangen. Gehen Sie dort nicht hin, das sind Diebe.

The two of us ordered 4 dishes (two main courses and two starters), all of which were equally small and unloving. The dishes did not correspond to the description and were 50% oversalted.

The three of us sat at a small, rickety table that was surrounded by plastic Corona walls from the neighbors. There is a strong smell of frying oil everywhere. It took half an eternity for the order to be taken. Despite pointing to the dish on the menu, the wrong meal was delivered. The complaint was not possible because the ladies hardly understand any German. The second attempt, because the food was inedible due to the mix-up, was suddenly understood, but nothing was even brought to the house or refunded. We have 16.90€ per person. Paid for a small rice ball with maybe 2 tablespoons of vegetables, of which there was almost nothing to eat because the sauce was wrong. You don't like going to the toilet either - everything looks shabby and is in the basement. Let's not go there again.

Incomprehensibly hyped restaurant. We were in Holtenauer 113 (formerly Burger Bank)... The bank's furnishings were taken over, I think it's okay - but "decorating" the ceiling with cheap lanterns doesn't necessarily make the ambience nicer. The tables are also very close together... It's more like a company canteen. We waited 50 minutes for our drinks - I find this incomprehensible in a restaurant with 40 tables. The starters, wonton and a mixed plate, arrived 15 minutes later, the main courses, baoBurger and a pho dish were served during the delayed starter. The wontons were really good, mixed platters with mango salad (tasty), dim sum (nothing surprising) and 1 summer roll, which was characterized by an unpleasant dryness - it had probably been there for a while? Burger topped with 2 tiny dead-fried industrial patties, lettuce leaf, 1 raw onion ring, a reasonable number of sweet potato fries, mixed salad without dressing. I think the price of 17.50 is steep. The pho dish with tender beef turned out to be a bit of broth in which tough chunks of beef were simmering, and the rice noodles that came with it were standard. All in all it was very disappointing. Ok for a quick lunch, but if you want a nice Vietnamese meal, you should look for alternatives.

Unfortunately, the new branch on Holtenauer Straße is totally disappointing. We ordered food to pick up. Our order was forgotten and we waited almost 1 1/2 hours. Excessive demands on those involved alone. I would have liked to have been more accommodating. Not again so soon.

Super tasty. Large portions, super friendly service and staff :)

We had just ordered via Lieferando. 3 dishes and all three taste great. Likewise the two starters. Sure delivery time and we are difficult to find, doubly difficult for the driver and despite this the best option when it comes to Filipino cuisine. Super happy with the coach. Intoxicated by the coconut-curry-peanut-soy flavor. Delicious.

A lovely little Vietnamese restaurant with charm and delicious dishes! A nice selection and good taste. For 5 stars we were missing that certain something in the food. Recommended!

Unfortunately a big disappointment. We were in the new Sidewalk at the corner of Knooper Weg. (Otherwise always in Sidewalk Holtenauer Str. 53, we have had good experiences there so far) The store wasn't particularly full, but we and all the guests around us had to wait an extremely long time. Our table neighbors were completely forgotten. Unfortunately, the food came at very different times, and not just for us. One is still hungry, the other is already full. Although full would have been nice, because the food was so salty that it was impossible to finish. (It was the same at the next table). Unfortunately, there was little professional response to the complaint. It's a shame, because the atmosphere is really nice and the food is well prepared. But that alone is not enough. Mistakes can happen, no problem at all and we fully understand if things don't go smoothly. But as a service provider you should at least respond to complaints in a nice and professional manner. P.S. Whether the “homemades” are worth their 5.90 euros remains to be seen. Ultimately a little ready-made juice with water in a 0.3 glass. At least there was mint on top. Maybe it was homemade. ;) Now there's a bucket of good Kiel tap water to bring the salt balance in the body back into balance :) Cheers.

Very tasty 🤤 we had lunch and we will be back. Very friendly!

Si bien era un establecimiento pequeño, no obstaculizó lo encantador que era todo! Disfrutamos de la comida que nos sirvieron y en realidad nos sorprendió lo similar que sabía a los platos que tuvimos en Vietnam! Si quieres experimentar comida de buena calidad y no te importa quizás compartir tu espacio con otros huéspedes, entonces este lugar es realmente increíble!

I had made a reservation on the terrace and had it confirmed. We were assigned a table directly on Holtenauer Straße. The reaction was very unfriendly when I insisted on getting a table on the terrace. At least we were promised a place if something became available there. This happened very quickly. However, the couple who had the table in front of us were also asked to pay as quickly as possible. The food was very tasty but here too the prices were significantly increased. Eating out comfortably is different. A few years ago it was much more customer-friendly there.

The Sidewalk is a restaurant with light and shadow. Above all, the question of whether you can get your food here is like a pure game of chance. The food here is excellent. Super delicious in taste and attractively prepared. Drinks also very good and stylish glasses. The ambience is also very good and exudes an Asian flair. The covered seating with glass on the sides is also really great, and you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of Holtenauer Straße while eating. So far so good. Up to this point I would have said full 5 stars and I would like to come back tomorrow. But the service is a complete disaster. Apart from the owner, who understands minimal German, none of the waitresses here - and we had two - spoke a single word of German. Inquiries about dishes are therefore not possible. You have to point what you want to eat on the map with your finger, even terms like "with chicken" or "with beef" you have to point with your finger on the map. An absolute no-go for a job in service that is based on communication with German guests. By the way: you won't get anywhere here even with English. We don't speak Vietnamese. That's why ordering is a pure gamble. But if only 2 of 3 dishes come and the other is forgotten, which we then had to ask ourselves half an hour after the other dishes were there by asking inside (by the way, service never comes back after the first order). : Ordering a drink will be difficult). It doesn't work at all. First of all, no excuse for this. No drink on the house or any form of compensation was offered. impudence. You then have to pay in the store. We then informed the owner about this again. After a while he at least hesitantly apologized. That he didn't even let at least the glass of water that the person who wasn't fed drink be on the house. Super cheeky. For this reason, despite the very good food and ambience, we will not be coming back and cannot recommend the restaurant. It's a shame actually.

The staff hardly speaks German and my food didn't come at all. But I was still allowed to pay for my water. My table companions actually looked quite tasty and would have liked some too...

Very tasty cuisine highly recommended

There were three of us eating here and we asked that the starters and main courses come together. That didn't work once. Then only 2 out of 3 main courses arrived for the main course. Then the 3rd course arrived incorrectly, then it took another 20 minutes until the correct main course came on. There was no apology after we asked the waiter about it, only a cheeky laugh came back, he didn't want to change anything about the bill. Let alone apologized or shown understanding.

If I could, I would give the service 0 stars. We ordered starters and main courses and when ordering asked to have them at the same time. This request was confirmed to us but not implemented. We couldn't eat together because everything arrived at a delay and the wrong dish was brought. We then informed the service person and there was neither an apology nor a small compensation, we were just rudely turned away. Mistakes can always happen, it's all about the way that situation was handled. Unfortunately, the unprofessional and unfriendly service ruined the entire dinner and is a clear reason to specifically avoid this restaurant.

Very tasty, fresh, and completely reasonable in price, attentive, friendly service, nice ambience, we had a wonderful meal and spent hours there, it was very cozy...

My favorite Asian restaurant in Kiel!:)

Not particularly nice staff. Food is delicious, but also very expensive and asking for an extra euro for packing without telling me beforehand... In addition, my companion got her food from me in 20 minutes and I then had to watch her eat for 20 minutes. Without any apology or compensation. Not again.

The food was great, as was the staff. The only criticism is that it is more of a place for families and not couples as you sit right next to the other table. You can't have real conversations without others hearing you.

Best summer rolls and peanut sauce!

Absolutely delicious food!!! Great and nice staff.

Comida fresca, de muy buen gusto. Personal amable. Ambiente agradable y acogedor. Bueno para vegetarianos y veganos. Muy recomendable.

We have pre-ordered for pickup via Lieferando. There was 1.5 hours between ordering and collection. When we showed up at the restaurant to pick it up, we were told that it would be closed until 5 p.m. today due to roof work. At that moment our order was canceled and we had to look for an alternative. The restaurant was marked as open on Google, Lieferando and UberEats.

Very nice service, great food!!!

We were here because of an article in the Kieler Nachrichten. The food was really very good. In my opinion, this area urgently needs to be renovated. I definitely won't come back here again. Too dark and not clean enough for me. There were four of us and unfortunately the food came very differently, so that the first ones were almost finished when the rest were brought. But if it doesn't bother you. In any case, it was very crowded, I'm sure no one will miss us here.

We came here for a vegetarian dinner and we really enjoyed it. The menu is very diverse and the staff is friendly. We'll definitely be happy to come back

Best vegan crispy duck. Decent portions, cozy outdoor area

Super tasty pho and the bowl is impressive too. Service was great, food came quickly and all in all a nice authentic atmosphere. There is also a good vegan offering

After the meal my husband said, “This meal was just a revelation!” and we are still raving… The atmosphere on the terrace was very cozy, even though you were sitting directly on Holtenauer Strasse and there were probably a lot of passers-by walking past us. We were there at lunchtime and cannot confirm the time pressure that others mention. If our little daughter hadn't urged us to go home, we would definitely have had dessert or coffee. We will be back!

We've been there countless times and it's always been delicious! Plus attentive and quick service.

Mega tasty large portions, was here for the first time and will come again and again, staff very friendly 5 stars 🌟 deluxe

Been in Kiel for years. Always not just a culinary experience!!! My daughter and I love it. It's most comfortable here later in the evening, but also very crowded.

Wow 🤩 everything is incredibly delicious. Dim sum is great, of course, but my absolute recommendation is the dumpling bowl. Pho with dumplings 💖 very friendly and attentive service

Large piece of plastic in the food - no apology from the staff, no price concessions or free drink. Too bad! Food itself was great, but I'll avoid it in the future...

Here you will definitely find the best Vietnamese food in Kiel in a cozy and familiar atmosphere!

I've been to Sidewalk a few times now. Always a feast. Definitely see you soon. Thank you!

I loved the food, tried vegan as well as seafood. We spent a long time here and didn't even realise it. It can seem a bit cramped up at times when crowded. But I think it's a very cozy restaurant for non-covid times. Love the seafood mi noodle soup. Tofu balls and spring rolls are amazing!

I had reserved a table. In the restaurant, when my order was taken after 25 minutes, I was informed that the table had to be cleared 60 minutes later. Ok, I thought, let's eat quickly. However, it took over 20 minutes for my food to arrive and the starter was also forgotten. Then, 17 minutes later, I had just finished eating but not yet finished the drink, when I was told to pay immediately, including the forgotten starter, of course. The food was super delicious; If you're in the mood for delicious fast food, Sidewalk is the right place for you. If you want to eat in peace with friends (and maybe even dessert), you're better off going somewhere else. The same feedback came from our table neighbors - "tasty, but I won't go here again". A pity!

We had reserved a table for 2 people. When we arrived we were seated at a corresponding table. After 10 minutes we were asked (not asked) to change tables because they were changing for a group. AFTER ordering, we were told that we would have to pay after a maximum of one hour. This created a very unpleasant atmosphere for us and we couldn't really enjoy our stay. It was the same at the next table. One of the guests said as he left that he had never had to eat under such time pressure. Overall, the service was ok, but not particularly friendly. There was actually no communication other than hello and goodbye. Unfortunately the food wasn't good either. The taste of the coconut curry is quite one-dimensional, it tastes like curry paste with coconut milk and side dishes. The chicken was very dry and seemed pre-cooked. Some of the vegetables were no longer al dente, I think they were all thrown into the wok at the same time, regardless of the cooking time. Overall, a disappointing evening for us. There are much better and more atmospheric Asian restaurants in Kiel, such as Sri Thai or Tantamar. The Google reviews show that our experiences are apparently not an isolated case. Unfortunately we didn't read them beforehand.

Very good food. Despite not having a reservation, we got a spot. Very nice staff. Food came quickly and was very tasty.

The tables are placed very close together. The food was ok.

Teilweise überwürtzt teils zu lash für den Preis nicht wieder bin enttäuscht Die Rippen waren zäh die soße passt nicht zum Salat Dim sum mit Fleisch wäre es gut leider viel zu würzig Crunchy Rolls gerne wieder

Today I went to Sidewalk, Holtenauer Straße for dinner with my wife. The ambience, the friendliness and the extremely delicious food was truly a celebration. We can rate it with 1+. We can only recommend it to everyone 👍

The food was totally fine. The option of vegan meat substitutes in many dishes is great. We didn't like the atmosphere that much. A bit narrow and cold. We were also the only guests at the beginning, which may have contributed to that.

intentionally too salty. force you to order another rice. The rice is not free! 3 euros for a rice

Our visit to the "Side Walk" restaurant was doomed from the start. The reservation that promised us a cozy evening turned out to be a false start: our table was positioned so closely that we practically had to fight with our neighbors for every bite. This lack of space, coupled with the waiter's urgent message that we had to finish our meal within an hour, caused us to skip the appetizer and head straight for disappointment. As soon as we placed our order, the food was served to us in a rush that was more reminiscent of a fast food restaurant. The beef dish, served in a cast iron pot, was a disaster. The pot, still cooking, sprayed fat all over our table - an unsavory affair. Worse, the meat itself was surrounded by a massive layer of fat, while real meat was sparse. The second dish, duck with mango sauce, was also by no means convincing. The sauce tasted like it had come straight from the jar, and the entire dish was oversaturated with fat, far from lovingly prepared. The disappointment was so great that we had both dishes returned, only to find out that we still had to pay half the price. In summary, our visit to "Side Walk" was a series of failures: a table that was too narrow, an unpleasant time limit, inedible food and an unsatisfactory handling of our complaint. It was a terrible experience that we wouldn't wish on anyone and certainly won't bring us back to this restaurant.

Unser Besuch im Restaurant "Side Walk" war von Anfang an zum Scheitern verurteilt. Bereits die Reservierung, die uns einen gemütlichen Abend versprach, entpuppte sich als Fehlstart: Unser Tisch war so eng positioniert, dass wir praktisch mit unseren Nachbarn um jeden Bissen kämpfen mussten. Diese räumliche Enge, gepaart mit der drängenden Mitteilung des Kellners, dass wir unser Mahl innerhalb einer Stunde zu beenden hätten, ließ uns die Vorspeise überspringen und direkt in eine Enttäuschung hineinsteuern. Kaum hatten wir unsere Bestellung aufgegeben, wurde uns das Essen in einer Eile serviert, die eher an ein Fast-Food-Restaurant erinnerte. Das Rindfleischgericht, serviert in einem gusseisernen Topf, war eine Katastrophe. Der Topf, noch im Garen begriffen, verteilte Fettspritzer über unseren gesamten Tisch – eine unappetitliche Angelegenheit. Schlimmer noch, das Fleisch selbst war von einer massiven Fettschicht umgeben, während echtes Fleisch nur spärlich zu finden war. Auch das zweite Gericht, Ente mit Mango-Sauce, konnte keineswegs überzeugen. Die Sauce schmeckte mir, als wäre sie direkt aus dem Glas gekommen, und das gesamte Gericht war übersättigt mit Fett, weit entfernt von einer liebevollen Zubereitung. Die Enttäuschung war so groß, dass wir beide Gerichte zurückgehen ließen, nur um dann erfahren zu müssen, dass wir dennoch die Hälfte des Preises zu entrichten hatten. Zusammenfassend war unser Besuch im "Side Walk" eine Serie von Fehlschlägen: ein zu enger Tisch, ein unangenehmes Zeitlimit, ungenießbares Essen und ein unzufrieden stellender Umgang mit unserer Beschwerde. Es war eine schreckliche Erfahrung, die wir niemandem wünschen und die uns sicherlich nicht wieder in dieses Restaurant führen wird.

Unfortunately the last visit to the Sidewalk! We had reserved a table for 4 people and were asked to pay immediately after eating (1 hour). When we asked to order another drink, we were told no and we had to pay because there were other guests waiting, even though we hadn't even been there an hour. We wanted to finish our drinks from the first round and were asked to pay three times within 10 minutes. When we went to pay, the lady wanted to charge us all together, but we wanted to pay separately. This was more of a torture instead of acting in a customer-friendly manner. When we commented that we couldn't even finish the drinks and we couldn't even sit there for 60 minutes despite having a reservation, we only got stroppy answers and impossible behavior from the restaurant!

If you're hungry, you should order somewhere else because Sidewalk will make you wait an hour and then cancel your order.

The food and ambience are okay, very cramped and small, but the service is catastrophic!! Unsympathetic and unfriendly staff, shortly after we had finished our food, we were asked several times to pay and leave despite being full of drinks, even though we had been there for less than an hour. When asked if we had to pay for the half-full drinks we left behind, the annoyed staff replied “of course”…. never again!!!

This was my second time here and the food and service were excellent again. Super friendly people, great cuisine and there is actually something on the menu for everyone. I'll definitely come here until I've tried the entire menu and then I'd like to come back more often. So: an absolute recommendation.

If you want something quick to eat, this is the right place. Despite reservations, we only had 1.5 hours, but we were only informed of this on site. I would have liked to order dessert, unfortunately this was not possible due to limited time. After 1.5 hours, the waitress stood at our table with the next guests and we were asked to leave and pay at the counter. It is therefore better to spend a cozy evening somewhere else. The food was tasty, but was way too expensive and I would prefer many other Asian restaurants in Kiel.

Best Muscow Mule and great food 🥺 the peanut sauce for the summer rolls is the best 😍

I was there with a friend and we were both more than satisfied. The food came quickly, the portions were large and very tasty. Because I didn't finish all of my food, I was able to take it with me (it was still tasty on the second day). The service was also very nice and you felt really comfortable. The prices (e.g. for Pho 14.90) are totally okay for what you get. All in all, I can definitely recommend Sidewalk and would be happy to come back in the near future. :)

Sweet little restaurant. Food is okay.

The food is okay, the service is very nice and accommodating. However, the restaurant is not that nice and it definitely needs painting because the walls next to the tables are dirty (grease stains).

It tasted good - can be recommended

⭐️ Excellent Asian cuisine in the middle of Holtenauer Straße ⭐️ Small but fine Asian restaurant. Nice personel. Big portion. Quick preparation. Fresh ingredients. Yummy. We are already looking forward to the next visit.

Excellent food in a cozy atmosphere. There were fried rice noodles with vegan fillet. What was particularly exciting were the different textures. One of the best Asian restaurants I have visited in Kiel so far. Therefore: all thumbs up I have! (That's about 2 thumbs, 4 if you count my friend's with an equally terrific curry)

Grundsätzlich gutes Essen und netter Service, jedoch lassen sich Toppings wie Ente, etc. nicht einzeln erwerben, was ein großes Minus ist. Außerdem kann man die Nachtische vergessen… bestellt nicht die sesambällchen…

Sehr nette Bedienung und super leckeres Essen. Sehr empfehlenswert

Super leckeres Essen, tolle Atmosphäre Leider stehen die Tische etwas sehr eng und unser Essen ist nicht gleichzeitig gekommen.

The food is good, but the customer service is really bad. The guy who waitress there got mad at us because we told him that we wanted a different drink as the one he brought us and just decided to ignore us for the rest of the night. He went to the other tables to ask if they needed something or to pick up empty plates, or drinks… and with us he literally just turned his head to other side 🥲At the end the wife came and explained in a friendly way that it was bc the drink we ordered was finished but I think they could have say that at the beginning 😅 I think I wouldn’t come back bc of this experience :(

Sehr lecker, mal was anderes. Preislich sehr angenehm. Man sollte reservieren.

Super lecker! Man muss ab und an etwas länger warten, aber es ist auch meistens ziemlich voll. Sowohl vegetarische als auch vegan Optionen vorhanden, die Top schmecken!

Hat Leute für uns rausgeschickt! Sehr geiler Typ!

Das Ambiente und Essen sind wirklich schön. Unsere Speisen waren schmackhaft und wurden auch zügig gebracht. Allerdings wurden wir nach dem Essen gebeten uns zu beeilen und auszutrinken da sie den Tisch gern weiter vergeben wollten . So ein unmögliches Verhalten ist mit noch nicht unter gekommen und wir werden definitiv nicht wieder kommen .

Super lecker und toller Service! Besonders die Dim Sum und die Frühlingsrollen sind ein Traum.

Street Food aus vietnam, sehr lecker

I ordered it by Uber eats, it was totally terrible, I still can't believe it. That's one portion for food which was just way toooo salty. The wanton was so chewy. I thought there's more coming. Because I paid 26.39€ for this. I should've been more upset about how small the container is for 9-10€ soup, but even if there were more, I wouldn't have wanted to finish it because food was terrible. The "mochi" was also terrible and poorly packed. And that's never worth 5€. I really couldn't believe my eyes for what I've get from this place with 26 something euros. Terrible terrible idea to order here. I'm not sure why google won't post my reviews due to their "policy", but all I can do is just being genuine and honest.

Sehr nette Bedienung und unglaublich leckeres Essen! Kann ich an jeden weiterempfehlen.
