Lovely sharing dishes

We shared five of the sharing dishes between two of us for lunch, and it was the perfect amount.

They were all pretty good but the tofu, soy cutlet and oyster mushroom wrapped in betel leaves was the clear winner.

The juices we had were very nice.

If we're back in Cologne, we'll definitely go back and try some main dishes.

Pros: So many appealing options , Lovely food , Nice drinks

Amazing food, bit high priced

The food was really delicious, and the sauces were incredibly good!!!
The staff is nice and the atmosphere is also nice!
But in total it was a bit overpriced, especially because you normally order a lot of small dishes, what adds up if you want to be full afterwards

Delicious

I’ve tried two dishes both from their lunch meal menu and they tasted great. The food arrived really quickly. If you do not like mushrooms you should say so as we found mushrooms in a dish that hadn’t had them listed

Delicious Asian fusion restaurant in downtown Colonge

Great location in downtown Colonge offering a 100% vegan Asian fusion cuisine with fresh ingredients. The portion sizes are large, and there is a wide variety of options. Offers both inside and outside seating. We had the Baobao, sweet and potato, Buddha bowl, and the golden soup. Everything was delicious! Would definitely return and try additional menu options. They also offered an English menu.

Pros: Good flavor, Large variety of options, Large portion sizes

Cons: Only accepts cash

authentic cuisine with a modern touch ⭐️

Went there spontaneously and they were so kind to squeeze us in. We ordered the vegan shrimps with peanutsauce, sushi and the crispy tofusticks (spoiler: they are OUT of this world!!!!). For drinks we had their smoothies, which was maybe not a good personal choice to go with the food, but they were sooo goood!
Definitely give them a visit if you can! #Veganuary

Pros: fast ordering , beautiful setting, delicious food

I ordered the Ramen with Tonkotsu. I hoped for more flavors. Next time I would order something else. The starters were nice.

Super leckeres Essen

Vor der Heimreise am 11.11 noch schnell was zu Essen gesucht, nachdem andere Lokalitäten zu hatten waren wir super glücklich hier gelandet zu sein.
Essen wirklich lecker, 3 Vorspeisen für 2 Personen haben uns satt gemacht und überrascht.
Dennoch sind die Getränke relativ teuer Saft war neben Wasser das günstigste (klein 3,5€)

Pros: Große Auswahl , Frisch , Freundliches Personal

Cons: Getränke teuer

Gutes Essen und sehr zentral

Es war schon sehr lecker gewesen und der Service war auch toll. Das Restaurant liegt zentral am Neumarkt. Ich finde es gibt bessere vegane food spots in Köln, aber kann es trotzdem empfehlen, denn meine Begleitung war sehr begeistert.

Lovely authentic Asian restaurant

We enjoyed dinner here. We've had some special lemonades, 3 appetizers (baobao, dumplings and papaya salad) and the #25 buddha bowl and #23 udon noodle bowl. The portions were large and the prices were really ok. The food was very fresh and had many herbs in it. The taste of the herbs reminded us of our trip to Vietnam, the flavors were so authentic. We loved it here and we were so full afterwards. Unfortunately we couldn't try the dessert, but we had the vietnamese coffee. They were so tasty! It was great here and so delicious

Awsome Vietnamese food

We had about 13 of the 20 items to share on the menu and they all were amazingly good! The flavor, plating, portion sizes and the service was more than great!! I really recommend going there.
Prices are also more than reasonable! Each Asian ‘tapas’ was 5,50€ and the size of it was plenty.
Can’t complain at all🥰

Pros: Food was so good, Great price , Super nice staff

Cons: None!

Cental location

First of all going there is pretty convenient because it's so close to Neumarkt. It has outside seating which lets you enjoy your food while being in fresh air. We came during lunch time so we could get something from the lunch menu which has some selected dishes for a cheaper price. After we ordered the food came pretty quickly. I don't think it took longer than 10 minutes. I had a dish with vegan shrimps. The shrimps were crispy and had a light fishy taste which wasn't to strong but still reminded me of real shrimps. The food comes with a bunch of veggies in a huge bowl. Neither my mom and I could finish it because it was so much and so filling. That almost never happens with me.

They have a good lunch deal for about 10€. My drink was good too. I had the peanut curry with fake shrimp and the shrimp were also pretty good.

Nice food

The food was tasty and the price was alright. I would have wished the Ramen noodle was freshly made and not the packaged noodles.

Pros: Tonkatsu Ramen soup

Cons: Industry made noodles

Nice fresh vegan food

We had the Buddha bowl, one with rice noodles and one with udon noodles. The dish was tasty, full of fresh vegetables and with tofu and soy chunks. We loved our bowl!
