Udum Vegan Restaurant in Köln

We have reserved no response. Upon arrival we were very rudely told that we were not welcome because there was no confirmation! Fine and thank you

Simply delicious!!! We'll be back!

Netter veganer Asia Fusion Laden,.was aktuell sehr trendy ist. Leider bissl zu viel E-Stoffen in zu viel Speisen und Getränken. Nicht super günstig, aber für gutes Essen sollte man auch gutes Geld ausgeben.

Super delicious food, very fast and great location. Definitely going again. Highly recommended as a date or in a group. But definitely make a reservation in advance, otherwise you won't have a chance on the weekend.

Absolutely recommended. Very successful food creations, friendly service and great ambience

Best vegan restaurant in Cologne

Super exciting, delicious food. There really is “something different” here. We love trying new things and we weren't disappointed here. We also received a very friendly welcome and were given a table even though we hadn't reserved anything! Would definitely come back.

Super cozy and clean restaurant with super sweet people and the best vegan food imaginable! thank you for your work!❤️🥰

The food is really delicious from start to finish, no matter what you order, and the presentation is also really beautiful and loving! The prices are absolutely reasonable for what is on offer! It is absolutely recommended to get around. The only real drawback is that you can only pay with cash here. This is really incomprehensible to me in 2024 and urgently needs to be improved. I know from some friends that they go there less often, simply because you don't always have (enough) cash with you for a spontaneous visit. The operators will definitely lose a lot of sales as a result. But it's also worth getting cash every now and then for food. 🥰

5 stars if you offered card payment.

I've been there a few times now and have never been disappointed. We only ever go to Cologne because of the restaurant😁. It's a restaurant where you don't have to constantly check whether something is vegan. Everything tastes delicious and looks beautiful. The staff is also very friendly and attentive.

Super delicious food in a nice atmosphere with really friendly service. I particularly liked the food, there wasn't really anything that wasn't tasty. The sauces are special and everything is beautifully prepared!! Definitely worth a visit.

We didn't have a reservation, but we were kindly given a place anyway. My dog ​​was also allowed to come along and was provided with water. The service is outstanding. Everyone is so nice, answers every question and fulfills every wish. The menu is great, there is something for everyone and everything tastes great.

Udum offers Asian fusion cuisine. The dishes are vegan and served as tapas. There is also vegan sushi and bowls. What can I say: the food is really great. The dishes are original and very tasty. The service is very courteous and friendly. The ambience may be a little loud, but that doesn't spoil the good impression.

Great restaurant, the drinks were the highlight, their homemade drinks tasted really good and can only be recommended, the food was really delicious (especially if you like Asian food) large selection for vegetarians and really great staff, everyone was really nice and was able to help you a lot, no complaints and really nicely designed clean toilets

Good food, too many of the Maki rolls have vegan cream cheese

Super tasty food, large selection and large portions. Very good, nice and attentive service! There could have been a little less chickpeas in my bowl, but the taste was still very good. It was very busy, so I might recommend making a reservation.

Large selection of tapas, unfortunately they weren't that convincing in terms of taste, we've eaten much better. Plus, when it got more crowded, it was extremely loud and we could barely hold a conversation.

Super delicious food, everything very fresh and vegan 🩷 Even though it was busy, the service was fast and super friendly.

Wir hatten heute zu zweit 10 verschiedene Köstlichkeiten. Alles auf ihrer Art sehr lecker und optisch toll angerichtet. Der fehlende Stern liegt daran, dass man hier nur bar zahlen konnte, was leider im Gegensatz zum tollen Service sehr wenig Serviceorientiert ist. Hinzu kommt, dass es dort keinen Kaffee gibt. Beim nächsten Mal würde ich dann gerne auch den fehlenden Stern vergeben.

The food is okay but not overwhelming. There are a variety of small dishes, a handful of bowls and various sushi compositions. All dishes are vegan. We had various small dishes and a bowl. The small dishes were okay, but none of them blew you away. Unfortunately the bowl didn't bring us what we ordered. In general, however, I find millet completely inappropriate in an Asian bowl. Unfortunately, the Temphe pieces were cut a little too thick, which meant that the middle was too flabby and tasteless. Unfortunately it didn't convince me. Unfortunately, card payments are not possible either.

Great vegan food, large quantities to fill you up, yet unusual and cleverly combined. Could be something spicier and spicier. Nicely decorated, a little too loud. Service quick even when it's busy. Reservation is recommended.

A very nice restaurant with a very nice staff. The food is not only an absolute delight for the palate, but is also so stylishly prepared that the eye also enjoys it. The portions are reasonable, so even if you're very hungry you'll be well satisfied. The prices are also reasonable. All in all, the restaurant is highly recommended. Both for vegans and for everyone else! Gladly again at any time!

Very very tasty vegan restaurant. We had sushi and two bowls and were really impressed. Price is also great. We'll be happy to come back next time you visit Cologne :)

Great great great! a very good restaurant. Exceeded all expectations. Thank you

Super delicious vegan dishes. We chose 7 different ones and everything tasted great. The employees are very friendly, we were repeatedly asked if everything was OK. Clear recommendation, we will eat there more often now.

Very tasty vegan restaurant. We couldn't decide at all and everything was simply delicious. I definitely recommend getting several starters and sharing them so you can try everything.

We were visiting Cologne and went spontaneously without making a reservation - on Saturday afternoon. The young man at the front with glasses immediately got seats for us (6 people). Thank you for that! The ambience is great and the food is amazing. I've been eating vegan for 7 years, I've tried a lot of things and even cooked them myself, but it's really crazy - very, very tasty and the portions are sufficient. Reasonably priced.

Nice service. Good vegan food.

In the end, many vegan restaurants don't deliver in terms of taste - Udum does. This is our third time here and the food is great. There are sophisticated, tastefully balanced Asian dishes that are also attractively presented. The selection is more than large; everyone should find what they are looking for here. The staff was very friendly during our visits, which rounds off the overall impression. In terms of price, Udum is not in the cheapest range, but the restaurant can definitely afford that given the quality. Recommendation: Make a reservation online before coming here, especially on weekends.

Super tasty. Very nice service. Nice ambience. Starter green gyoza and shrimp were delicious. The mayo that is served with the green gyoza is super delicious. If the gyoza were crispy or fried it would be even better, but they are probably also very tasty when steamed. Main course pho and udon noodles were also very tasty. Crispy tofu is served with the udon noodles, super delicious and the sauces on it are fantastic. Always my pleasure! Unfortunately we're not from Cologne :( The dessert coconut balls are MEGAAAAA delicious. A dream 😍

The absolute BEST vegan restaurant I know. I've been here twice so far and both times I was fascinated by the taste and appearance of the food. The food comes quickly, is delicious and there is a really exciting selection - I would always like to order the entire menu!

The three of us were at Udum yesterday. Simply great! The food is a poem - one dish better and more beautifully prepared than the other!! The service was extremely friendly. We'll be back :-)

So delicious!! Nicely presented. Very attentive service. It's a bit loud in the dining room, but it seems lively and nice. But a bit difficult for conversations.

The food is more than delicious! Everything I've tried so far has been a 10/10. The spinach gyoza are the best I've ever eaten, as is the sushi - simply outstanding! The tofu was prepared very tasty and the sauces were flavorful and harmonious. I ordered the Pagoda Bowl, which I can only recommend. The vegan shrimp is also great, as is the green curry with beans. Everything was freshly prepared and the taste was varied. The iced coffee and iced tea are also super delicious. The ambience is relaxed and the restaurant is nice. The staff is super nice and accommodating. There is absolutely nothing to complain about, highly recommended ❤️

The food there is incredibly tasty and the service is great. It was really full yesterday (Saturday evening) and the service was super friendly and accommodating. We had to wait a little longer (which wasn't bad at all, we had a good time) and a plate with more sushi rolls was added to our 2-person meal as a "small compensation" for the waiting time. I can only recommend Udum. The dry ice is always an eye-catcher! Thank you!

I can't imagine a more disrespectful approach. I called Udum several times and after they picked up, I explained to them that I didn't have a Wolt account and therefore couldn't order via the Wolt app. They confirmed that I could order from you via the website in the news portal. Och ordered so much extra that a delivery for Udum would be worth it (around €35). After 20 minutes I called again and the representative told me that orders through the website would not be answered until around 3-4pm. I ordered at 1:30pm...! Very disappointed...

Incredibly delicious food, very fast and super friendly service and a great ambience! We love this restaurant! To everyone who is upset about the lack of card payment: just take cash with you or go somewhere else, then those who have money can enjoy it.

ONLY CASH ACCEPTED! In 2024, it’s unbelievable that a restaurant still doesn't accept cards or electronic payments! The only reason I can think of it's tax evasion! Avoid this place!

Udum is a place that inspires with its exciting ambience. The food is really great and offers an interesting selection that makes every visit a pleasure. I would particularly like to highlight the very clean and modern toilet - a small but nice detail! The service is attentive, but on my last visit it was very busy, so the wait was a little longer. But that didn't detract from the overall experience. I've been here three times and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

This is the best Asian restaurant I have been to in Cologne. The ambience is nice and is very cozy. The staff is friendly and toilets are super clean. The dishes are mind blowing. I personally recommend pink lady dish. It is very innovative. Moreover the presentation of the food was also beautiful. The service is super fast. We went there on Sunday evening without reservation and we were able to get the table. Every food item in the menu is super tasty and fully vegan that I can visit this restaurant every week.

I would really like to eat here, but as a non-vegan and non-vegetarian, unfortunately I can't find anything to eat here. If there was at least a very simple salad with dressing or something filling like bread, pizza or pasta, I could ignore the fact that it doesn't contain meat. But unfortunately every dish has some hyped ingredient that I don't like. There aren't even fries with ketchup. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to eat there with the vegan part of my family.

Only cash payment, in 2024 in Cologne. you are ridiculous

The food was very tasty. The gyoza and bun baos were the best in my opinion, so highly recommended. Service and ambience is also great. We'd love to come back

Very good food and good service... Thank you

This place is amazing! The food is delicious, the staff is professional and the food is ready quickly. The only downside is that they only accept cash.

I've been to Udum twice now and I'm thrilled. If you, as a vegan, usually have to eat bland, purpose-built dishes in other restaurants, you can really feast here. The selection is very large and the food is beautifully prepared. The staff is very nice and the drinks are also delicious.

Great little restaurant! Delicious vegan food, plenty of choice, lovely service! Definitely come back here again :)

Best vegan, I'm thrilled! Especially the coconut soup as a starter, excellent

Very tasty, nice atmosphere and nice service. The only point I could criticize is that many seats don't have a backrest.

We were a group of 6 people. We were impressed by the large selection of vegan dishes and the friendly service. The food was very tasty.

For us the BEST sushi in all of Cologne! Super tasty, great ambience and friendly service. We always enjoy coming here, even if we are not vegan.

The three of us went to Udum for lunch. The restaurant is stylishly furnished and the service is very friendly and accommodating. For starters we had Gyoza & Sushi Secret Garden. The gyoza were good with a very tasty sauce and the sushi was super tasty! For the main course we had the Udumbara Bowl, Sala Bowl and the Bun Bo Hue Soup. They all tasted delicious and the portions were large! We'd love to come back :)

The food is very tasty and is beautifully prepared. With every visit to Cologne there is also a visit to Udum. So far I haven't had a dish that I didn't like. The service staff seem very stressed and hectic, especially in the evenings. Our drinks have often been forgotten. It is advisable to contact the staff immediately. The atmosphere is very nice and modern. The only thing that bothers me is the stools, which seem very bulky to me because I can't lean on them. It can become uncomfortable, especially if you sit there for a while. All in all, I am very satisfied and can highly recommend this restaurant.

Very tasty every time and the service is outstanding

Ultra delicious and beautiful food - a pleasure for all senses! For me the best vegan restaurant in the Cologne/Bonn area. Absolute recommendation 👍

Wonderful, extremely tasty. Portions not that big but worth every penny. We were really excited, you have to try it. Still our favorite restaurant after 3 years and countless visits. You can taste the quality of the ingredients.

This was honestly up there with the best food I’ve ever eaten! When the food arrived to the table I already had a feeling it would be great. But wow this was delicious. Highly recommend eating here, even if you normally don’t eat vegan. The people here were also very friendly

Excellent and original cuisine, friendly waiter. The room is very noisy and full, I advise you to make a reservation. However, a simplified reservation system would be appreciated. We sent an email with the name, number of people, and time, but we were still asked for more details and we received no further response... Having to pay in cash is also a bit restrictive, but there is an ATM 300m away.

Our absolute favorite restaurant. We can only recommend it. Great service and great quality :)

Very good vegan cuisine. At weekends and at peak times it can get busy and you have to expect longer waiting times. Only cash payment possible.

The Udum I Vegan Restaurant in Cologne is a true pearl of vegan cuisine! The dishes not only taste excellent, but are also presented creatively and visually appealing. The atmosphere is pleasant and modern, perfect for a relaxed meal. The service is friendly and helpful, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. An absolute must for anyone who wants to enjoy high-quality vegan cuisine. Highly recommended!

Omg, I'm at a loss for words!!! It was such a delicious taste experience. I ate different things to try it out. It was so delicious! Great service. Modern atmosphere!

Very good ambience, very tasty and aesthetic food, and very friendly service. The vegan food was delicious, and a non-vegan friend also praised it. 10/10 Just perfect!

Very modern Vietnamese fusion food. It was delicious and very artfully prepared. Portions are sometimes very generous. But you can have it packed up. We were just visiting Cologne, which is why we tried to make a reservation. That turned out to be difficult. It wasn't possible to call because no one ever answered. An online inquiry then led to us being booked in without any time. On site, the nice waiter gave us a table for a limited time anyway because something had gone wrong. 1A waiter!

the food was very, very good! great restaurant ☺️

Very friendly welcome (reserved) and then we all ordered small snacks to share, so that we could taste everything and that was really delicious! Definitely worth it and the vegan sushi 👌

Sehr leckere Bowl, die perfekt abgeschmeckt war. Der Service und das Ambiente waren ebenfalls gut. Besonders gut haben mir die selbstgemachten Getränke geschmeckt.

Great vegan food, diverse and incredibly tasty. Plus lots of drinks and you go home satisfied. Priced accordingly, so not cheap, but worth the money.

Attentive service. Great food and well prepared. The highlight was the green curry. Bun Bao weren't that convincing.

We actually like eating at Udum because of the fully vegan sushi, but my last service experience was completely wrong and made me feel uncomfortable. Because it was very strange from start to finish. The service was basically unmotivated and more neutral than friendly. We were there about 1 1/2 hours before closing time and as we picked and waited, it was already restless and uncomfortable in the store. It's valid that the employees are already starting to tidy up the shop a bit, but I can't understand why they're literally throwing the cutlery into the drawers while guests are still eating with them. Because the drawer is in the immediate vicinity of the other tables for clearing away, it's quite annoying if you want to eat there in a relaxed manner and always have to listen to such background noise in the evening. We have experienced this in this branch every time we have been there. The highlight, however, was when the employee tried to take the soy sauce from the table while I was just eating my last pieces of sushi. We perceived her as pushing, especially since she could see that I still had sushi on my plate. As I said, it was less than 10 minutes before closing time, but still a good hour. Because I was annoyed and dissatisfied, I of course didn't want to give a tip. So I handed her the bill and should have gotten change from her now. After all, I didn't say "that's fine" or indicate in any way that I wanted to give her a tip. And then she just said “thank you” and left?! It was so strange and uncomfortable. And I was so angry that I just wanted to leave and not do any more tearing up for a few euros. However, this bitter feeling still remains and I'm just disappointed. I guess that was my last visit to this branch.

Very tasty vegan cuisine, sushi, bowls and more. Large selection of non-alcoholic drinks. The only major drawback: no card payment possible.

As always, extremely diverse and delicious vegan dishes.

Incredibly good restaurant. You won't notice that you can only choose vegan dishes. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. Great composition and very good portions. The service was also super nice and accommodating.

It's simply unnecessary that you still can't pay by card in this store. That always has a stupid aftertaste. We had to make a special trip to the bank. If this had been pointed out to us at the beginning of the evening, we would have had one less drink and the money would have been enough. Apparently it's on the map, but we didn't see it. Not a nice end to what was actually a nice evening. Card payments should be standard in 2024. Until then, I won't be able to eat anymore. Just a shame!

Ate very tasty! Our female service person was super nice and friendly! I will gladly come again! Thank you very much!

Super tasty food, a great selection of tapas and also good homemade drinks

Very friendly and attentive service. Great value for money. Special dishes.

The food is so-so. Because of the background noise, it's difficult to have a conversation. No card payment.

El menú contiene en su mayoría tapas asiáticas y sushi (entre 6 - 8 €). Todos los artículos son un enfoque creativo vegano que abarca desde el tofu sobre bollos hasta baquetas. Se ven impresionantes y son deliciosos. La mayoría de las tapas contienen 2 artículos (como baquetas o tortitas...) que se pueden compartir fácilmente.

Incredibly good cuisine and fair prices, plus friendly service. Absolute recommendation. Small limitation: a little too loud (room acoustics) and a little too narrow (tables too close).

Not my first visit there and definitely not the last! In addition to very attentive, polite staff, you can expect a large selection of excellent vegan dishes, excellently prepared. Highly recommended!

The food was excellently presented like in a 5 star restaurant. Top price/performance ratio. The offering was very, very nice. The food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. You look into the kitchen and everything was visibly freshly prepared. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely recommended for vegans and vegetarians. Great food, extremely friendly service!

Great restaurant, lots of options for food and drinks, good service. I'd take a detour to eat here again. Only con is that it's a cash only restaurant (when we were there in March 2024).

One of my favorite restaurants in Cologne. The Pagoda Bowl is a dream and definitely recommended! Unfortunately you can only pay in cash. The restaurant is very comfortably furnished.

The only reason I don't give the last star is because you can only pay with cash. Nowadays, card payments should be standard. Be that as it may, the food was fantastic and really blew me and my sister away. We had the Soy on the Run, Shrimp, Bun Bao, Salad and Spicy Tuna Sushi. One better than the other.

Super friendly and patient service with creative Asian tapas fusion dishes. The atmosphere is also very nice. Will visit again

War alles super lecker!! Werde nochmals hingehen!! Am beste hat mich dieser wasabimayo überrascht!! Brutal lecker 😋😋

Very tasty food and very nice service :D the vegan Pho was absolutely delicious and the Pagoda Bowl is also highly recommended!

Very tasty Asian tapas. Everything vegan and really well prepared! Only recommended! The only point of criticism is that no card payment is accepted. Therefore service only 4 stars.

A taste experience, with excellent service and then also good price/performance, what more could you want. We were given very nice advice when choosing our dishes and were given a great selection of tapas. The sushi for two was freshly prepared and the dessert was also very tasty. The Vietnamese coffee provided an unbeatable conclusion!

5/5 in everything. We were greeted extremely friendly. The diversity of the completely vegan menu alone was convincing. When the food came, there was a lot to see. In terms of taste, it was also simply delicious in keeping with the rest of the ambience. Finally found the vegan sushi alternative that is in no way inferior to the animal versions. Thanks! Small note: no card payment possible, so bring cash. Otherwise, the savings bank is not far away.

Went there spontaneously, very nice employees, great food 😍

Very tasty food at fair prices. Sometimes we waited a long time for service even though only three tables were occupied. But service was still very nice.

Udum convinced me. We ordered a few people across the menu. The service was super attentive and quick. I had a bowl that left me more than full. The presentation of the food is very nice, dressing was on point. Tofu was super tasty and vegetables were crisp and fresh. Afterwards, all non-vegans/vegetarians were completely convinced that they didn't miss any meat. Overall, a nice visit, we'll definitely be happy to come back. Small criticism: The shop is a bit inconspicuous from the outside and the red lettering on the windows isn't that appealing or doesn't fit in with the stylish interior and I don't think it's a problem to just access the map via QR, we still have one You got a printout, but it was already pretty worn out, so just laminate it in case you want to give out an overview and paying in cash is unfortunately also a small minus.

Delicious vegan sushi, sometimes different and not just classic, e.g. with vegan salmon or tuna. Unfortunately only cash payment possible.

Confusing menu but lots of choice. Surroundings and furnishings rather unpleasant.

Very good place with delicious food.

Four of us ate there and we were all satisfied! We all ordered 8 tapas and sushi twice. The following numbers or dishes were super tasty: 4 chicken legs, 9 ha cao, 18 yeast rolls, 28 dinosaur eggs The service was nice and quick, even though the restaurant was busy and therefore busy. We will be back! :)
