Tsukiji in Köln

One of the best Japanese restaurants in Germany

Great restaurant! I've been there twice while in Cologne. Everything was excellent both times! Delicious food, large portions, fair prices, and very friendly staff! The place looks very unassuming from the outside, but it's super cozy inside!

It was a 5 star experience for a small price

The food (sushis) was nothing spectacular in taste but presented nicely. The service was _really_ slow when we visited. I really hope it was just bad luck at this time. But that really threw off and dissapointed.

We reserved a table there and were shown through the restaurant into the annex when we arrived. Unfortunately the atmosphere is absolutely not comparable to the rest of the restaurant and more like a snack bar with nice tables. There were no heaters, just heat rays, and there were multiple sockets on the floor next to one. We then decided to leave the restaurant and not eat there. So unfortunately I can't rate the food. We made a reservation in advance. All the more disappointing when you end up in cultivation.

Fantastic food, aesthetic ambience, great service. My first, but certainly not my last visit.

Very stylish restaurant with very friendly service. A little too few staff for the many tables, which means that the attention suffers somewhat. Food very tasty, large portions. Reasonable prices. Cleanliness in the toilets needs a lot of improvement.

Unfortunately my visit to this restaurant was disappointing. While my friends had already received their starters and main courses, I had to wait an extremely long time for my food - even though I hadn't ordered a starter. Even after asking, my dish came last, without a proper apology. Instead I got an excuse from the waiter. When my meal - a noodle soup - finally arrived, it wasn't hot enough and tasteless. Overall a very disappointing experience, especially because of the poor service. I probably won't come back.

The sushi is fresh and tasty, the selection is large, and the staff is friendly. The waiting time could be shorter at times, but overall a great experience. Gladly again

This is a Japanese restaurant run by a Chinese person, but the staff members are all very pleasant. The service is perfect. The taste isn't bad either. The sushi in particular was not a simple Japanese sushi, but it was delicious. However, fried chicken is not in the form that Japanese people are familiar with, but is more like a piece of fluffed chicken meat that has been hardened and deep-fried, so although the taste is not bad, it is better not to imagine it as ordinary fried chicken.

Good sushi in a nice atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service.

Nice location, super nice service, delicious, beautifully prepared food. A great evening!

Very tasty food, nice ambience and first-class service. We'll be back. 👍🏻

Shipped to Japan - and fed divinely! 🙏

The location is very nice. We enjoyed the food very much. We were there at lunchtime and each had a lunch menu. Which probably changes weekly. Price performance was very good. The only deduction is one star because unfortunately it was dusty in many corners, and the sanitary facilities were also dusty and covered in cobwebs

The food was really excellent♥️!!! Thank you for that. I have rarely eaten so well. The toilets themselves were clean, only the dust in the corners could be removed.

Nice food ! Friendly staff ! Sushi was delicious

The first impression of the restaurant is a pleasant atmosphere. At second glance and after visiting the toilet, the cleanliness is very poor. The toilet facilities are very dirty, were clogged, and the exit to the toilets was also as dirty as I have ever seen, at least in Germany. If you take a closer look under the table, this area probably hasn't been cleaned in a while. For a restaurant, especially one that serves raw fish, this is more than worrying. It's hard to say, but the service was sometimes dirty. When you cook, you can get dirty - no question about it. But in general, and especially in a sushi restaurant, walking around looking dingy is absolutely not possible and is disgusting. The service was boring, ordering and delivery of the food took a long time. Various requests and requests were not complied with. Edamame were cold, the soup was at most lukewarm, the sushi was at most average. We love sushi and chose the restaurant based on the good reviews. Here we even didn't finish eating and left some of it back. The visit was very disappointing and just bad overall. Another visit is excluded.

Is at least one of the top 3 Japanese in Cologne and the surrounding area

A very nice restaurant. We had reserved a table and had also written down our wish because of the place where we wanted to eat. At the beginning it was very chaotic because it was disorganized, the store was full and we had made a special reservation. We had to wait a bit so everyone was nice. The conditions were friendly and it was difficult to get a place. The food tasted very, very tasty, according to Google reviews, we also decided to eat our dinner there. Ambiance is very nice. In general, it's a great store. Just a little more organization would be great. Otherwise, I can't complain. They also try to fulfill customers' wishes, which is great. 😍

I've been waiting for my food for an hour. A lot of people came after us and ate while we were waiting. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Very friendly service and elegant, modern ambience, calm music. I had a menu consisting of a starter, main course and dessert. The food was fantastic and served with a great fog effect. We'll definitely be back!

A very good restaurant. Our meal was served quickly. The portions are quite large and everything tastes really well.

Super tasty, we'll definitely be back. Service and ambience is also great.

Due to the recessions, I chose this restaurant for a very special evening. You notice once again that people perceive things differently. For us, this was our first and last visit here. The seaweed salad ordered as a starter was still frozen. I told the waitress and got a new one (but at first she said that was normal). After the first drinks we asked again for the menu, unfortunately the waitress forgot, the guests at the neighboring table noticed the situation and offered their menu. Ordering drinks regularly was also rather difficult because the waitress didn't come by very often. We sat in the winter garden... This is not particularly inviting and gives the impression that this room is not yet finished or was intended as a storage room (for example, there is a gas bottle in the corner at the guest table) The sushi platter we ordered for three people (there were two of us) was unfortunately rather tasteless and nothing special. We were fed up with 2 people, but we each had 2 starters.. The toilets were anything but clean. I find that particularly sad. It's a shame, we were really looking forward to the evening. Conclusion: Everyone expects something different from a visit to a restaurant. Unfortunately our expectations were not met here.

The service is friendly and explains the dishes. The food was very tasty.

My first thought was: a good Japanese restaurant in this location? Hardly! The ambience in the restaurant tries everything to appear Japanese. The tables in the main room give the impression of classic Japanese tables, where guests sit on the floor. Of course that doesn't fit in Germany, as if it was adapted. Well thought out and implemented. Then the guest shouldn't jump out at the first glance at the table next to chopsticks in the same cutlery bag for a fork and spoon. That ruins everything again. Serving Oshibori would have been a useful addition, because who wants to eat with dirty fingers? The food is generally good, but not seasoned or prepared in a traditional Japanese way. The staff is friendly and helpful, but is unfortunately understaffed. The bottom line is you get what you pay for and it was relatively cheap.

Food was so well... Depends on taste, of course. Waited over an hour for the food. The atmosphere and surroundings were also underwhelming. However, the service was friendly.

The food is delicious and the portions are big for a really affordable price. The interior design is nice as well and the restaurant size is big. The only downside is the service is a bit slow.

We visited the place during an odd timing around 4 pm, so being there only guests at a time. The service was absolutely fantastic and lady spoke good English. We even got a custom order for the soup considering the dietary preferences. Cannot praise it more, very recommended.

Every time very tasty and very friendly staff

Great atmosphere, delicious food and the service is great too!

The restaurant shares its name with a large fish market in Japan. And yes - I have to say, the name does justice to what you get here. It tastes really good, the price is okay and the people are nice and friendly. So I can only say arigato.

This is the best place where I have eaten so deliciously. Thank you so much 👍♥️

BEETLES IN THE SALAD!!! I ordered a starter and after noticing a strange taste on the first Chinese cabbage leaf... I saw little bugs crawling all over the lettuce so I ate bugs... When I pointed this out, they immediately took care of giving me a new starter. To my surprise again with a side dish of beetles... The service is 10/10 The restaurant itself 9/10 But the thing about the bugs in the food -10/10 No more Tsukiji for me! Under no circumstances should this happen at such prices! This really questions my view of quality… Is it just chic and expensive??? Who knows...

The restaurant is nicely decorated. We ordered the udon noodles, which the menu says are served with teriyaki sauce. My friend had the dish with tofu and didn't have any teriyaki sauce. I had the same dish with chicken and had teriyaki sauce on the chicken. When I asked if we could have more of the teriyaki sauce we were offered that they sell it and we could buy a teriyaki sauce. When I pointed out that my friend didn't have any teriyaki sauce on the dish, we were told that the dish didn't say it, only the chicken. We looked again and it was definitely different on the menu. In general, the food wasn't anything special. It's a shame, we were really looking forward to visiting the restaurant.

Super delicious food. Very friendly reception. And the service was also very, very nice and professional. We had to wait a few minutes but we were able to take a look at the menu. After the starter and main course, we order dessert straight away. After 80 minutes we were informed that the table was needed and the dessert/drinks could no longer be served. An alternative with another table was not possible. After I asked how long the reservation would last, they said 2 hours. 2 hours are also stated when making the reservation. We were only there for 80 minutes. This has never happened to us when we consumed €100 and were politely thrown out. Unfortunately, apologizing is no longer of any use. It's a shame but there won't be another visit.

Great ambience, nice service, extremely friendly. We had the appetizer platter and sushi platter for 2...super tasty. If we are in Cologne again we would like to come back

The food was super tasty, the interior of the restaurant is incredibly beautiful, cozy and authentic. And 1 of the female server speaking English perfectly fluent. Everything well served. Perfect lunch for us! Definitely will be back.

The food is just to die for!!!! WOW

We visited Tsukiji on November 9th based on a recommendation… The store is very inconspicuous and from the outside you would probably walk past it What can I say? We had a wonderful evening, everything was very authentic, the seating was super nice, the service was great and the food was simply fantastic We will definitely come back and thank you for the great evening

One of the best Asian restaurants we've ever been to. Will definitely stop by again on our next visit. The food was very good, the prices were also very good compared to Stuttgart and we really liked the interior design.

Everything is great in this restaurant. The food is fantastic, the service is super nice and the ambience is great. So beautifully decorated! I'll definitely come here again. These were the best vegan gyoza I have ever eaten!

Taste wise 10/10 Nice shop, with super tasty sushi and great service

Only recommended! Friendly service, delicious sushi, cozy atmosphere and my absolute highlight: Tokyo Mule!

Best store. Best 10 stars. It was the best sushi I've ever eaten...

The service is very good, the food was beautifully prepared and everything was incredibly tasty.

Wow! What a discovery we have had here. This Japanese restaurant is beautifully and traditionally decorated, the quiet Japanese music in the background completes the experience perfectly. The service is extremely friendly, big compliments for the service. You can eat various Japanese dishes here, we mainly focused on sushi. Edamame and the Tsukiji karaage as a starter. The flavors are superb, the signature dishes are great. The specialties they serve here have not been seen anywhere else and taste heavenly. The sushi was served in an original and fun way. Price-quality is very good here. All in all highly recommended, if we are ever in Cologne again we will definitely come back here.

I'm shocked. In 15 years of being in and out of the restaurant industry, I've never experienced anything like this. The waitress at this restaurant is a prime example of 5-star service. I am almost certain that I will probably never receive such service again. This restaurant has more than something to be proud of. Now for the sushi! I'm still speechless at how delicious this sushi was. We ordered a few things, and the highlight here was the Surf&Turf sushi. I can say without a guilty conscience that there is no sushi restaurant in Stuttgart that can compete with this quality. Every future visit to Cologne will take me to Tsukiji. The price at the end? A joke! We didn't even pay EUR 60 for an incredible amount! Thank you for this wonderful evening! We became fans.

We just had to wait a long time for a response from the staff regarding payment. Apart from that it was really good and tasty

Super tasty sushi, great starters and very nice service.

The food was delicious, the restaurant is very comfortably furnished and the service is super friendly. We will come again!

Really tasty and beautifully prepared. Very friendly staff. The next time we are in Cologne, we will come back.

Ultra tasty... great service... wonderful ambience

Top! Very tasty and original food, service very friendly and atmosphere very good and a bit quiet.

Very tasty food at fair prices. Ambiance good and staff nice. I am very satisfied 👍😄

Staff was super nice. Sushi was also very tasty. A clear recommendation!

I was eating with my best friend after a cosplay event in Cologne. The location is really nice and worth the money. After asking, we should take a few photos. Many thanks again to the team. Of course we were careful not to disturb other guests. Luckily for us, our visit was also at the end of opening hours. The food was really, really tasty. I had a three-course menu with a starter, main course and dessert for the equivalent of €27. Price performance was really top. This shop definitely offers food and atmosphere and is worth a visit.

Sushi was delicious, in my opinion not too pricey and atmosphere wonderful!

Very tasty and very nice decor 😍

Very nice restaurant with a great ambience. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food was also very tasty. I can only recommend the Tsukiji restaurant!:)

this is the place to be for the Dutch

I ate here for the second time today and it was great again. I can only speak for the sushi, as I've only eaten great food so far. Price performance is also great! Absolutely recommended! :-)

The food is simply great, the service is very nice, I recommend! 🙂

As a long-time sushi fan, I have to say that the sushi is among the best I have ever eaten - versatile, fresh and delicious. The menu is highly recommended. The dessert with mascarpone is also divine!! 😍 Plus very friendly service. The ambience is nice and tidy. All in all, it's a solid 5 stars!

Absolute recommendation! The service was extremely polite and nice The food came quickly, warm and was very tasty The ambience is unbeatable.

Very nice restaurant with ceiling decoration and interesting tables. The staff is very friendly and takes care of you. The food was delicious, although we only had sushi as a starter. Next time I would choose sushi over the other dishes (rice; noodle dishes).

Wonderful location, everything that is sought after as Japanese food is here. High product quality, great ambience, nice and friendly service and an excellent selection. The menu was very fresh, everything was excellent; I'd love to come back again and again. Simply outstanding, the dessert is also fantastic. Maki and also fried sushi is fascinating.

The choice of dishes is decent. Excellent presentation, pleasant taste. But broken dishes when served are really upsetting and make you want to leave the establishment. It’s probably worth asking the client if he wants to eat with broken dishes? In general, it is worth paying attention to this point.

Die Karte ist super abwechslungsreich und das Essen total frisch und lecker. Vor allem aber ist der Service auch super nett. Wir hatten einen entspannten Abend und kommen sicherlich bald wieder.

Nice ambience. Very tasty, well-seasoned starters. High quality, creative sushi and generous portions. Everything was lovingly prepared. Value for money reasonable. The service was also absolutely top. We can only recommend Tsukiji!

Best sushi shop in Cologne Ambiance nice and cozy Food very tasty and particularly important with sushi: fresh

Beautiful restaurant with very nice staff and delicious sushi! We'll definitely be back👍

a very cozy and relaxing place. Also good food.

Das Sushi war durchschnittlich und die Bedienung ziemlich langsam und unaufmerksam. Die Küche war nicht wirklich sauber.

Nice small sushi restaurant, with super friendly staff. The cocktails on-point, the sushi amazing & the presentation lovely. Highly recommend.

Very good and authentic Japanese food, great service, fair price

food was great, atmosphere is amazing and the waiters were very understanding and nice.

Great atmosphere! There were relatively fewer people there so it was pleasantly quiet. The service is super friendly and the food was great. If I were from Cologne I would go there regularly

Very tasty sushi, the presentation was a little highlight that we hadn't expected at all :) The people on site were all super friendly, we would definitely come back :)

Great food, better than Amsterdam

This was the best sushi I have ever had no joke. Not only is the food amazing but you get a very good portion of food and it’s plated beautifully. Service is so nice they showed me how to make the chopsticks easy to use when you don’t know how to use them. Would recommend the price range is really worth it!!

The service is very friendly, they learned my friend how to use chopsticks and they held conversation. The interior is very nice inside and in the garden. And the food was delicious.

Friendly staff, quick preparation, extremely tasty food!

Ambijent veoma opuštajuć,hrana prvoklasna za sva nepca,svježa i veoma,veoma ukusna.Prezentacija jako lijepa i u skladu s restoranom.Ocjena 9.5 od 5 Preporučujem svima .

The food was delicious and the service was very accommodating. We felt very comfortable. Definitely coming back. Thanks for the tasty trick 😍

Gladly, again and again, so tasty, food, ambience, service, an experience, only to be recommended.

Food and service were absolutely fantastic!

The food is superb, both in taste and look and the service is extremely polite and helpful!

Looks inconspicuous from the outside. But very nicely decorated inside. The food always tastes great too. My insider tip is the lunch menu, which is unbeatable in terms of price/performance. My favorite is the ramen soup, I can really recommend it to everyone.

super tasty and you really get a lot for the price. 6 year olds were a success with the ambience and food

I don't think I've ever taken so many photos of a restaurant 🌸 beautiful!!! Even better than the ambience was the food and the great service! My ramen was 15/10 and can be found under “Duck on the sea” in the menu. But the Duck is now in my heart 🦆

Nice restaurant. Great food, very nicely prepared and very nice staff

Super tasty, well presented and very affordable in terms of price! Great service!

For us, by far the best Japanese restaurant in Cologne. Still a little insider tip because you wouldn't expect such a fantastic restaurant between the kebab shops and sisha bars on Zülpicher. Plus a great atmosphere and always super friendly staff. The karaage are incredibly delicious and the tuna main course was a real taste revelation.

The location on the Zülpicher is a bit intimidating, but the sushi and udon noodles were very tasty. Only the drinks could be a little stronger according to your own taste. But otherwise great recommendation.

Food itself was good. Nothing special, but tasty. Service was nice. Unfortunately, I wasn't that hungry after the starters, so I could barely eat half of my main course (with salmon), which is why I wanted to take the rest home with me. We communicated this accordingly and asked them to also bring the invoice and both were confirmed. Some time passed and neither the bill nor my food came: They accidentally threw away my food & had to cook it again, we had to ask specifically to get any information. The biggest disappointment came just when I wanted to eat my "leftover food": The portion was much less than what I had left over and there is no salmon in it at all.

Great! An experience! Very tasty here and extremely friendly service. We will be back.

Very tasteful, authentic furnishings. Located in the middle of Cologne on Zülpicher Platz, the always lively hustle and bustle of "Zülpi" remains outside and you can devote yourself entirely to the food. We tried different sushi rolls here. The food was very tasty and (of course) freshly prepared. Particularly noteworthy here is the presentation of the food, see photos, which is very creative and stylish. We felt very comfortable here and were greeted and served in a very friendly manner. Gladly again, thumbs up.

Such a surprising delight to see the 'sakura' blossoming inside. The food taste delicious! Service was really nice!!!
