Sweet Sushi in Köln

Add photos of the dishes to the menu. This was our first time here and we didn't expect to get almost nothing (the maki were dry and fell apart).

We always love eating sushi here. It's always delicious and super fresh, and the service is very friendly. The only downside is that you always have to pay in cash.

Everything was very tasty and the staff was very nice, they gave me sushi🥹

I really liked it!! The staff is very friendly and nice! The food is also very tasty and filling!! Thank you!!

Very tasty food. Had ramen and sushi, really recommended. Service was very nice and the food came very quickly. Tables and stools a bit cramped, but still comfortably furnished, will definitely come back.

Eintritt in „Sweet Sushi“ ist gleichsam ein Übergang – vom profanen Getriebe des urbanen Alltags in ein Reich der ästhetischen Zartheit, in dem der Reis zur Poesie gerät und der Lachs sich wie ein Gedicht auf der Zunge auflöst. Die kunstvoll drapierten Röllchen – nicht bloß Speise, sondern sakrale Miniaturarchitektur – tragen die Präzision eines Zen-Gärtners and die Hingabe eines Haiku-Dichters. zwischen Alge und Ahnung. Der Service – diskret, doch allgegenwärtig wie ein wohlgelaunter Geist – vollendet das kulinarische Erlebnis mit jener seltenen Mischung aus Herzlichkeit und Professionalität, die man nicht erlernen, sondern nur leben kann. In einer Welt, in der vieles laut ist und vieles schnell – ist „Sweet Sushi“ eine Oase des leisen Genusses. Hier wird nicht bloß gegessen. Ein Tempel der Harmonie. Ein Gedicht zum Beißen. Ein Ort, an dem der Fisch nicht nur schmeckt – er spricht. ⸻ Reviews of "SWEET SUSHI" sushi restaurant in Cologne Walking into "Sweet Sushi" is like stepping into another world - away from the hustle and bustle of daily life in the city, and diving into a country where beauty and sophistication coexist. Here, rice turns into lines of poetry and salmon melts on the tip of the tongue like a whisper. Carefully arranged sushi rolls are not only food, but also sacred miniature architectural art, carrying the precision of a Zen gardener and the deep affection of a haiku poet. Each nigiri sushi is a statement of balance, and each roll wrapped in seaweed is like an echo of the Pacific Ocean's sigh. The service staff is just right, unobtrusive yet omnipresent, like a cheerful soul that gently brightens the entire dining experience. Their kindness and professionalism are not the result of training, but an attitude towards life. In this noisy and rushed world, "Sweet Sushi" is an oasis of calm. Here, people are not only eating, but also celebrating - celebrating the freshness of the ingredients, the beauty of the shapes, and the subtle and profound communication between people and the sea. This is the palace of harmony, It is a poem that can be chewed, This is where the fish talk.

Best sushi, my all-time favorite

Very tasty 🤤, freshly prepared. Price-performance fits.

Was there yesterday at lunchtime. Very nice and quick staff. Miso soup was served for lunch and a greeting from the kitchen came unexpectedly. The food was very tasty and lovingly prepared. I would love to come back!

I ate everything too quickly because it tasted so good. Therefore no photo. Clear recommendation! Price performance is top and the food is authentic and delicious. Staff super sweet. The name says it all ❤️

Small restaurant, great food. Unfortunately, card payment is not possible here.

Good sushi cuisine and relatively inexpensive

They don't take credit card, take only cash . They didn't inform me before order but you can see the notice on the door.

Unfortunately, at the moment everything was very unclean

By far the best sushi in Cologne.

I love eating sushi and have never tasted tastier inside-outs. And then also a very nice service 🥰

Very good food, not just sushi, at fair prices. We always enjoy coming here.

Has decreased significantly. I don't think lunch is ok anymore

Simply delicious Update 2 years later December 24 and January 25: unfortunately the quality of the sushi has noticeably decreased. We ordered the same plate twice more and were unfortunately disappointed. Too bad.

I was there a few times before and it was excellent. This year I visited Köln again,and it was an unpleasant surprise. The maki was miniscule,not firmly rolled. Not tasty. Additionally, two sushi chefs, were arguing with each other, shouting very loudly. All of this ruined my lunch completely. I came there with good memories about my last visits, where the food and atmosphere was nice. Ah, yes,and you can pay cash only, but there is no notice about it. Unfortunately it's not the case anymore there.

Estuve allí un par de veces antes y fue excelente. Este año visité Köln de nuevo, y fue una sorpresa desagradable. El maki era minúsculo, no estaba firmemente rodado. No sabroso. Además, dos chefs de sushi, estaban discutiendo entre sí, gritando muy fuerte. Todo esto arruinó mi almuerzo por completo. Llegué allí con buenos recuerdos sobre mis últimas visitas, donde la comida y el ambiente era agradable. Desafortunadamente ya no es el caso allí.

It used to be significantly better.

To be honest, I don't feel like it anymore. Ordered twice and so far it has been super tasty and the quality of the fish is excellent. Today was just disappointing. The sushi was carelessly rolled and the fish quality was questionable. The tuna was pale and had an unpleasant mouthfeel. Not tasty! I just want consistent quality and no gambling when ordering. Apparently that's not possible here either. At over €30 per person, I expect consistently good to very good quality, both from the fish and the craftsmanship.

Yes, highly recommended. The food was really good.

Small but nice - you usually have to book a table in advance, otherwise it will be tight. We have been there several times and always feel very comfortable there, even if the restaurant is quite small and somehow always extremely full. The service is quick, very attentive and courteous. The sushi is always an absolute delight there. If you prefer really delicious sushi, you should definitely reserve a table here!

Excellent selection of fresh, creative sushi variations. The quality of the sushi is top, and the combinations are a delight both in terms of taste and appearance. The ambience is modern and cozy, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner. The service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for sushi lovers!

One person's food was completely forgotten. After paying, no change was given back, just pocketed all the money and said thank you.

Tastes delicious. Good veggie selection. Prices normal. Very small unfortunately but cozy.

I think the sushi is very tasty! I miss you card payment!

Ich war im Dezember im neuen Restaurant von Sweet Sushi in Lindenthal essen es war sehr lecker und richtig gut dann dachten wir bestellen wir es doch mal mit Lieferdienst für zuhause es war echt nicht annähernd so gut wie im Restaurant und das bei einem Preis von über 100,00 Euro jetzt frage ich mich ob so ein erheblicher Unterschied sein darf ich denke sicher nicht.

Super lovely staff, really tasty starter soup and beautifully prepared sushi! Happy to come back!

Sehr schmackhafte Mittagsmenüs aus Misosuppe und einer Auswahl aus acht Hauptspeisen zu einem günstigen Preis

The sushi is super tasty, the service is really nice and helpful and I like to come back again and again.

Great sushi, best in town. Sitting is so-so. But I really like going here to eat, not just to sit 😉

Wow, super delicious food and great service. Thank you for the lovely evening

The best sushi we have ever had in Cologne. Something so fresh and original. Super friendly and damn cozy.

Great food and service! Perfect place to go to get a quick bite to eat! 👍🏼

Sushi freshly prepared, friendly staff, always delicious The only disadvantage: only cash payment possible

Very tasty, everything is freshly prepared

Mega delicious food and super nice staff. Simply great!

Super cute restaurant, we were there by chance at lunchtime today and just went in. Super tasty and cheap too! Very friendly and funny employees <3

It was ok, but definitely not anymore. Sushi with canned tuna doesn't work for me at all. The menu says marinated tuna, which is true 😜.

Very tasty, I could sit in... The way there is definitely worth it. Friendly and very nice staff. The only thing I find unfortunate is that you only have to pay with cash. But the food is super good 😋

This place opens on Monday & they do serve Unagi don but with kimchi, korean version of Unagi don. Food Presentation was awesome, lady waitress was friendly & smiley but the lady at the cashier was rather unfriendly, not smiley at all. And they don’t accept credit card. Only cash payment.

One of my favorite sushi restaurants in Cologne. Especially to take away.

I always enjoy eating here. The dishes are fresh and very tasty

I have been to this cafe many times and will definitely come back. It is advisable to reserve a table in advance as the café is not very large and the seats are often full. The only downside is that reservations are only possible by phone. The sushi here is outstanding! Incredibly delicious and always freshly prepared. Unfortunately you can only pay in cash, but the quality and service more than make up for it.

Atmosphere and all dishes of excellent quality.

Super tasty sushi and also completely reasonable in terms of price. The service is super friendly. We didn't have to wait long for the food. Gladly again

Very great and delicious sushi is offered here in all variations. A gift of food or a plate is always provided. Requests will be accommodated... The prices are just perfect. And the food is prepared fresh in front of the customers. Everything is very clean and to your complete satisfaction. Highly recommended..

We wanted to try out a new sushi restaurant and we just loved it! Here you can get delicious, fresh and, above all, high-quality sushi. The employees are all friendly. The prices are normal. However, the shop is small, so I would recommend making a reservation in advance.

Best! Been my favorite for years

Immer wieder lecker : hier gibt es außer tollem Sushi auch viele andere leckere Gerichte. Die Preise sind moderat und dir Bedienung sehr freundlich! Toller Laden !

Sweet Sushi is definitely one of the better Japanese restaurants in Cologne. However, the atmosphere is often a bit noisy. Perfect for lunch, in between, pick up or delivery. If you want something more comfortable, you should go to Sweet Sushi in Südstadt.

Sushi bar in the center with fast service and really tasty sushi!

Food is very salty. We left almost everything. There is no air condition or any air flow. Imagine, how you can enjoy the food when you need to survive. Not my favorite

We loved it there, were immediately greeted friendly and seated at a free table. The waiting times were really short and language barriers were respected and dealt with accordingly (we got an English menue). Overall really nice and chatty staff, even got some fried sushi on the house and they kept our bag safe for us to later pick up when we forgot it there. Would recommend and will definitely feast there again :)

Very tasty, the staff is wonderful, they understand everything perfectly.

I visited this one 1.5-2 years ago Visited restaurant several times, alone and with friends, as the food was good value for money. However, on my last visit yesterday after a long time, I had an unexpected experience with a waitress. I ordered "Nigiri Deluxe" but the waitress didn't understand me and asked. I pointed my finger at the menu in the list. Instead I received the menu which included an inside out roll which I barely eat. When I tried to point this out to her, she didn't respond and just walked away. The chef noticed this and asked what the problem was. After I explained to him that I had been given a different menu, he offered me the incorrectly delivered dish for free. Although I refused it at first, he convinced me to take it with me. So I came back to my seat with the plate. The staff were chatting about my order and the waitress came to me with the menu I originally ordered and said I ordered the wrong number on the menu. She kept repeating "Everything is fine" which made the communication very disrespectful and just interrupted me. It should be noted that the restaurant was neither busy nor hectic at the time. Such errors in service can happen, and the chef was very friendly and helpful. However, it was disappointing that the waitress did not handle her mistake professionally and communication was not working. She kept repeating "It's fine" and interrupted me when I was paying again trying to figure out if I should still tip her. The restaurant offers a good selection of sushi at a fair price, and the chef solved the problem immediately. Nevertheless, for me, the unprofessional and disrespectful communication from the waitress yesterday outweighs it.

Very tasty sushi, top quality & fair prices

Following good score in reviews, we went to this place. The service was poor, as waiters were way more interested in chatting with each other rather than customers. It took a while to place an order in a half empty room, and even longer to pay. While soups were well done and tasty, sushi taste was bad. The chief used the same knife for different fish types. Also I felt sick later that evening.

Wonderful sushi place. Great food! 2 adults and 3 smaller children ~80 €

I came here on a recommendation and am super satisfied. The shop doesn't seem particularly attractive at first glance, but the sushi is really delicious. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right here. Overall, a great restaurant that I can highly recommend to any sushi lover!

Somehow something has changed here... I go there regularly, but the taste was different last time than usual... Sorry, I was really disappointed.

Tastes good and good service. Recommend

The food was super delicious. Well-attended restaurant, small but nice. I can only recommend.

This restaurant is very small and the tables are very near by each other. Food is actually good, but I would not say amazing.

Sushi platter for 2 people is a highlight. The crunchy rolls are especially great. There are hardly any problems with allocating space, so spontaneous visits are also possible. If the option of paying with an EC card is still offered, there is nothing to complain about.

We were here for lunch and shared a sushi plate. It was incredibly quick and the quality was really good. We'd love to come back!

Very (!) delicious food at fair prices.

It couldn't be better. Except for the cool, somewhat uncomfortable atmosphere, it's perfect for sushi and boals.

We have been here several times and it has become our favorite place in Cologne when it comes to sushi. Price-performance is simply top. We often come spontaneously and actually always get a table (during the day), even if the shop is busy. The sushi is always fresh and very tasty and is served in a visually appealing way. What is supposed to be crispy is crispy and tastes great to us. My children love it very much too. The service is always extremely friendly and there is often a little extra treat. We always go home very full and satisfied :) Regarding the lack of peace and quiet, which some people complain about here, I'm actually glad that it doesn't always have to be an "upscale atmosphere" to have a delicious meal. I really appreciate this, especially with children (who can also stay seated at the table).

Very stylishly furnished, the food was delicious and tasted outstanding. We have been here before and are always impressed by the presentation and quality of the food. Good proximity to the city center, so a clear recommendation!

Delicious. Sweet sushi is a MUST on your next trip to Cologne :-)

Quality 1A - Unfortunately I didn't get what I ordered. The fish quality and taste at Sweet Sushi are unparalleled and of absolutely high quality. Unfortunately I didn't get 50% of my order and instead I just got something else, which really annoyed me! Since the store is really very small and you have to sit extremely close to other guests, I still recommend delivery.

Very good sushi, quick service and very friendly staff :)

Great. Very well made and tasty sushi. Fair price according to the portions. It's not a big call, avoid the busiest times.

Unfortunately, sushi was rather disappointing. The food used to be good, but now the service is quick. Soy sauce diluted with water, cheap smoked salmon from Rewe, quality has deteriorated significantly.

Small but mighty! Super nice people serve delicious food! And at really fair prices. We will be back!

Small but nice shop with fantastic sushi and friendly service! It's always full at the usual meal times, but if you go a little outside, you'll get a seat quickly.

Great food, service very friendly. Only the waiting time to order and the bill took a little too long. Otherwise recommended

The shop is small and simple. The food is simply delicious!

1a great service and great sushi maker!

It was a great evening, would be happy again

Very tasty sushi, good quality, I recommend it😋🇺🇦💙💛

Rooms very small and cramped... Could you do more with it? But the food was super tasty. Friendly service.

(M)a highlight in the city! Every time I visit downtown, I look forward to a visit to Sweet Sushi! It's not always easy to get a table but it's worth every try! The food is incredibly delicious, beautifully presented and artfully prepared. And also suitable “to go”. The service is very friendly and attentive and the “greeting from the kitchen” is a really great gesture! A visit to Sweet Sushi is highly recommended!

Good sushi with excellent fried rolls. The other roles are good. Ambiance doesn't invite you to sit for long

We had a Thai dish and sushi. Kimchi was included as a garnish. All three things were really good, and I really noticed that in a positive way.

Very friendly and super good. There were four of us and we had a variety of dishes 😃 and they were all really great 👍 would be happy to do it again. Family from Salzburg 🤩

Keine Kartenzahlung. Für eine Stadt wie Köln nicht zeitgemäß. Schön Steuern sparen. Ein Witz!

No card payment. Not contemporary for a city like Cologne. Nice tax savings. A joke!

Gehe gerne dort hin. Schmeckt mir gut. Wenn es richtig frisch ist, dann ist es richtig gut. Preiserhöhung von 2,60 Euro pro Rolle ist schon viel. Es gibt jetzt nicht mehr so oft Sushi bei uns.

Super gutes Essen - leider nur gegen Cash ( no card)

Echt irgendwie authentisch und so ein cooler Abschluss wenn man shoppen war. Sehr netter Service und viel zu gucken. Das Sushi ist immer wieder sehr lecker und auch der chardonnay kann was. Wir kommen schon seit Jahren und freuen uns jedes Mal sehr. Danke!

Sehr freundliches und schnelles Personal. Ausreichende Portionen und gut sättigend. Mit der offenen Sushistation und der halb offenen Küche gelingt auch ein schönes Erlebnis der Kochkunst, allerdings riecht man danach auch etwas nach Essen. Trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert! Preise sind der Qualität des Essens absolut angebracht.

We arrive so late and even though they were cleaning up everything, they prepared all we asked for. Food was so good and we'll appreciate the effort they made.

Bester Sushi den ich je gegessen habe!

Sehr lecker, sehr nette Bedienung, immer wieder gerne

Sehr leckere Sushi- und Reisgerichte. Alles wird frisch zubereitet! Sehr empfehlenswert! Die Nr. 54 ist mein Favorit!
