I ordered a spicy tuna roll, topped with tobiko, a Norwegian California roll, and a hamachi nigiri. Lots of rice, not a lot of fish/filling. The place is clean and does have a nice setting.

Pretty good sushi restaurant. It was busy when we walked in, but a few minutes wait and they found…read moreus a table. The portions were pretty good value for money, although the freshness of the fish was a little suspect for me. You know when sushi tastes dry and warm? Mmm, not totally convinced. Well, I might be coming back here again if I have to make the trip to Siegburg for work, but if this was in Hamburg I wouldn't be a regular attendee. 3 stars average is just about justified.

Reading all the reviews about this place I was looking fwd to enjoying a marvelous dinner…read more Hmh... Walking in you face a strong odor somewhere in the line of an oily cheap Asian joint combined with a Kebab place. With the exception of one Asian cook everybody else looked more like a Kebab cook. However, the menu shows a broad variety of Japanese/Asian style food. I decided to go classic. Now the really disappointing part: The tuna sashimi had about the same amount of fat as lamb meat. Also, the way it was cut looked more like kebab than sashimi. Just take a look at the pictures I posted. The rest looked ok. But, it didn't taste too fresh. In fact, it didn't really have any flavor at all. Anyhow, it's the place to go if you prefer quantity over quality. Didn't give 1 star because I've been to one place that was worse.

Quality of the fish was good and the roll was well seasoned, boosted by a shot of mayonnaise. The Tuna Special (Tuna steak) wasn't up to my expectations. It could have been cooked at higher temperature, more crusty outside and rare inside. The Mikoto has great potential and is worth coming back for trying some more dishes. ... Came back and was disappointed. It didn't improve. Actually, it got worse. It still has a nice ambience; but, that's it. Quality is up and down and generally fading out.

The tuna sashimi looked almost Toro style. But, it tasted more like Maguro for the price of Otoro. Same for the roll I had. I couldn't really tell by taste what was inside, except for the avocado. I have to admit that my expectations were high due my previous experience with (wasn't it Madame ChiChi?). At the end the food isn't bad or rotten. However, the sushi's quality and taste doesn't match the appearance and pricing.

A well-deserved Michelin Star, but they can do a lot better in service and general ambiance....!…read more Our evening got off to a promising start--we were warmly greeted and promptly seated upon arrival. The ambiance was pleasant, supported by minimalistic yet elegant décor. However, a large and noisy group detracted from the overall experience, though it's fair to say the staff had limited control over this situation, except for a member of the staff who actually promoted the loud conversation, jokes and loud laughters. The dining room is spacious, with thoughtful lighting and soft background music that sets a relaxed tone. Despite these elements, the noise level was surprisingly high, making it less suitable for a romantic dinner and better aligned with a lively gathering or a business meeting. We opted for the 7-course Asian-inspired tasting menu, and it did not disappoint. Each course showcased thoughtful flavor combinations and artful presentations, creating a cohesive and enjoyable culinary journey. Please note, they cook a bit aggressively on the salt. As avid fans of tasting menus, this one lived up to our expectations. Where the experience fell short was the service. While the staff were friendly, the lack of knowledge is noticeable and the fact that they were a bit loud when explaining the menu and not as attentive as one would expect at a Michelin-starred establishment. Plates and glassware were left uncleared for much of the evening, and we had to request their removal. Not once in the evening the table was cleaned from bread crumbs or spilled food. These lapses in service slightly overshadowed the otherwise excellent food. Also, at high level of el restaurant like this one; the servers are usually choreographed and organized when presenting each plate. This was not the case. The wine options are generous but if you want a cocktail, they need to run to another nearby establishment to get it for you. So, they try not to offer that option. In summary, while the food (with the salty taste exception), and ambiance were commendable, the service has room for improvement to match the caliber of a Michelin-starred experience.

Opted to get wine (3 various bottles) recommended by the sommelier who has personally visited the recommended wine vineyards and can recall the owners ages. Never had filterless wine until now. It's the one with the tractor on the label. I thought it was great. Our waitress from Indonesia (Ayoo?) was a treat. It was like an aunt was taking care of us at dinner which was over 4 hours long. The food? All good. Opted for the 7 course chef selection. Top notch ingredients and presentation. I am not usually an Asian fusion food fan but Taku did impress me. Looking forward to coming back again when I am in Cologne.
