We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

We decided to sit outside, but because it started to drizzle, we went inside. We paid for our drinks outside and brought them in with us. The waiter was not friendly. Asked if we had paid for our drinks, I said we paid outside. I'm not sure if he believed me. When he finally came to take our drinks outside order, he seemed irritated with us. We got our drinks and order our meals. Our meals arrived very quickly and everything was wonderful. However, upon closing our bill, the waiter got very angry with me saying something about good service and no tip. We are literally in Germany where you don't tip. It's a cool place to see, but I'm not sure I would go back.

I got the best and first schnitzel of my life and I'm not being dramatic when I say it was a complete game changer. Crispy as you like with that creamy peppercorn gravy poured over top. I had a side of chips that soaked it up perfectly. Could have shed a tear right there at the table. Washed it down with five Kölsch on the spot. Ended up drinking about thirty throughout the day while walking around the city like a legend. Started early and never let off the gas. This meal brought me back to life. I went full animal mode until 3 in the morning and honestly I blame the schnitzel. Right place. Right time. Right pint. Quality food. Prime location. Germany, you've set the bar.

The baozi were excellent, very fluffy dough which was a tiny bit sweet, just like it's supposed to be, and the filling was also amazing. I also loved the Di San Xian and the mushrooms, and while I don't eat meat, the Mapo Tofu was apparently also delicious. The tofu also came smoking hot, with the oil still bubbling while it was being brought to the table. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere too, the interior is nice and I lived that there was quiet instrumental music playing. The staff was also friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for the food (although since the restaurant was very empty as we had dinner very early, there's a possibility this could be different when it's busy). Overall, the only thing I think could have been better is that I would have loved a few more vegetarian options. I am aware, that even in China a lot of restaurants focus much more on meat and fish dishes, but there are also so many delicious vegetarian dishes. I'll definitely be back, and next time I want to try the wild garlic with egg and the vegetarian noodles :)

One day, TikTok fed him a Chinese user talking about Tang Wang and he immediately bookmarked it for our trip to Cologne. The restaurant is directly adjacent to the Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) and it was super easy to find. We arrived just before noon and there wasn't much of crowd yet. We studied the menu and eventually settled on a lotus dish as starter, stir-fried water spinach and braised pork over pickled vegetables. We were really happy with the food and we were not just saying that because we'd been on a Chinese-food withdrawal for a while. We would definitely go back here in a heartbeat.

I'm glad to see that they are still around, they were that good when they started, so it makes sense if they're still around. Kudos to them for always putting out some really good food.

I decided to make reservations the day of being that it was Valentines Day. Thank goodness I did! This little restaurant had no more than 10 tables. We were greeted by a sweet German lady who spoke English (phew)! We began with some sushi rolls and miso soup with a side of rice. Loved every bite of it... Especially the crispy rolls that were covered in tempura pieces...mmmmmm! As far as their sashimi, the quality was on par and it was definitely fresh and not "stringy/veiny." They're udon noodles were good, too. The portion was large and a good variety of veggies accompanied it. After tasting the soup, I knew it was a Chinese chef who made it. This was definitely a Chinese soup base, not Japanese. No matter.. Still tastes yummy! I was a bit disappointed to see their only desert was a Japanese moon cake. In my head, I was expecting a Chinese moon cake but it turned out to be Mochi. Japanese rice flour candy with a filling inside. You can buy these at any Japanese supermarket or bakery. I've never heard them referred to as "moon cake." Maybe this is a German term??! Who knows. All in all, it's still 5 stars. Good, friendly service, good quality, tasty flavored, and modern, clean decor. Wish it was in my neck of the woods :/

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious--the cheeses were rich in the Croque Monsieur and flavorful, they were silky and comforting, and every bite tasted like someone in the kitchen genuinely cared.

The outdoor seating was perfect for people-watching, which, let's be honest, These German guys are super handsome. Köln did not disappoint... I don't know what they're putting in the water here, but Germans really do make strolling down the street look like a model show. Anyways, whatever you do, save room for the chocolate soufflé. It rose higher than my self-control and disappeared faster than my promise to "just have one bite." A fantastic meal, great atmosphere, and definitely a place I'll happily return to!

Location: 5/5 The location is super convenient -- literally a 1-minute walk from the Marriott Hotel and just a few minutes from the main train station. If you're staying nearby and getting tired of German food, definitely give this place a try! Food: 4/5 The seafood sundubu (seafood spicy soft tofu soup) really hit the spot! It was flavorful and comforting, with just the right amount of spice -- not overly spicy at all, so don't let the word "spicy" scare you. The spicy squid and pork belly were also really nice. Drinks: 4.5/5 I loved that they offer Korean drinks as well as two local draft beers. A perfect combination! Service: 4/5 The servers were friendly and welcoming, and everyone we interacted with spoke English, which made things very easy. Price: 4/5 Very reasonable for Cologne -- less than €30 per person, including food and drinks. We had an especially exhausting day because our luggage was lost by the airline, so we had to make a quick trip to the train station to grab some essentials. Thankfully, both suitcases were eventually found, but they won't be delivered until tomorrow. This Korean comfort food was exactly what we needed to end the day! Overall, definitely recommend this spot if you're visiting Cologne, especially if you're staying near the Marriott and want a break from German food.
