Literally everything pointed towards this being a terrible choice but yet we tried based on recommendations from yelp and we were very very impressed. My girlfriend being picky with food AND coming from sichuan China was very sceptical but after having finished several dishes she agree with me that this was not only a really good Chinese authentic place,but the best she has tried in recent years here. I agree! Big portions,freshly cooked when you order, fast and a really varied and authentic menu. This was a experience for all senses and I wish more people showed their love because this place deserves the attention.

FOOD & DRINKS The menu is compact and has some Japanese…read moreclassics to choose from. I asked for a recommendation and picked a Miso TanTan Ramen and a Katsu Bao. The beef ribs also catched my interest but I couldn't resist to try out the Ramen and with that there was no stomach room left for the ribs. Plus my last beef rips experience (not in this restaurant) wasn't that great. The ramen really looked and tasted authentic! They hit the flavours and the ramen egg was done well. Maybe a tad too salty but it was marinated and cooked properly which I can't even say for some Japanese run ramen restaurants in Germany. The Katsu Bao reminded me of China meets Japan meets Vietnam meets Korea. The Bao (China) fluffy and slightly sweet, the Katsu (Japan) crispy, the sweet sour pickeled carrot and fresh cilantro (Vietnam) and finally the Kimchi (Korea) for a sour spicy note. The homemade ice tea was good too. SERVICE A bunch of cool and friendly guys were rockin this place during my visit. I was the first one to arrive for lunch and expected the service to be fast. No complaints. ATMOSPHERE Industrial and modern look. A dark color theme with some Japanese pictures on the wall and an open kitchen. I like it. RATING So why just four stars? First I wanted to give full five stars but I the last star to me is something personal. The restaurant needs to scream amazing to me and unfortunately it didn't. Everything was really good. The ramen was even better than some Japanese run places I have been to. The problem to me is not the food. It is the flair. The restaurant and its menu wants to sell their customers Japan. The food is there but I just don't get the Japanese vibes and this has nothing to do that none of them was Japanese. You can sell the Japanese feel without being Japanese. It starts with the decoration. While they had some elements they were kinda lost. This restaurant could be anything really. The atmosphere didn't emit Japanese vibes of an Izakaya either. I still can recommend this place and will come back to test more.

Authentic Japanese, real solid ramen…read more The spicy chicken ramen really hit the spot, savory broth and perfectly cooked noodles. I was surprised how thick and umami the broth tasted. The takoyaki were also delicious, only wish they came with 6 and not 4. The chicken wings, another home run. The gyoza were a bit on the soggy side, perhaps maybe another 30 seconds in the pan would've made them perfect. Also try the various fruit teas, not too sweet and perfect to wash down the hot noodles with.

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 :)

I was so excited when they first open this up, along time ago. There is definitely a shortage of Vietnamese restaurants here in the area when I lived here. 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. It made my living here more bearable for several years. It gave me more options of cuisine's, other than German food, Italian, Argentinian steaks and Japanese food.

While the handmade noodles were a unique addition, the flavors were bland and food was beyond a delivery "luke warm" to a level of cold. We ordered the duck with handmade noodles, chicken skewers with peanut sauce, and the pork dumplings. The highlight of the meal was the chicken skewers with peanut sauce, flavors and texture were delicious. Aside from that, the duck was soggy, sauce flavorless, vegetables undercooked, and handmade noodles a little too sticky. Lastly, it seemed like the dumplings just had a piece of pork sausage versus a minced pork mixture like I've traditionally had in literally every other Asian restaurant. Based on the reviews, I think I'd try their food when I can visit in person... but I will not be ordering from them for delivery again.

This…read moresmall supermarket is organized and well-kept, and it offers essentially all the basic ingredients needed for Korean cooking- noodles, spices, sauces, oils, tofu, etc., as well as Korean drinks, a plentiful assortment of ramen noodles, snacks, ice cream, which I definitely recommend- you can buy a box of Korean ice cream or single serving packs for a nice treat on a hot day. There are also refrigerated and frozen items, like dumplings, rice cakes, and plenty of Kimchi. The owners are Korean and German and can speak both languages, and they are always willing to help if you have questions. The store also includes kitchen devices for Korean cooking, Korean bowls, dishware, hot pots, chopsticks, rice cookers, and utensils, and even products from Korea- blankets, scarves, cosmetics, accessories, etc. They also offer ingredients for other types of Asian cooking, as well as sushi, and the products are very well-priced, especially considering that everything is imported. For people who like Asian food or cooking, this is definitely a great place to visit!

By then, our stomachs were growling and we were ready for a 3 course meal. If you're an avid tea drinker (and you like it sweet), you'll enjoy their ginger tea. They add a special very sweet berry to the tea, which gives it an incredible sweet/spicy flavor. I had 3 - 4 cups of tea and I'd go back for that anytime. We started out with Eggplants with Groundbeef and the Bao Zi with Pork. On the Bao Zi, I skipped the sauce that they provide and opted for Soy Sauce and their spicy sauce. Both were good, but the Bao Zi I prefer. For the main course I had the Rindfleisch XO (beef with vegetables and an exotic sauce), which was phenomenal. My partner had the traditional sweet and sour chicken, which was good as well. The interesting thing is that they serve the fried chicken separate from the sauce, so that the chicken doesn't get all soggy. That was a nice spin. When we were all done, we were presented with the bill and a pile of chocolate candy, finishing our 3-course meal. Other plus: super friendly service. Parking seemed to work out alright on a Sunday afternoon. Also, they took EC cards.
