Always tried keeping it a secret ... But, I guess it's too late now…read more.. Usually, you have to make reservations for a table around 3-7 days in advance if you are a party of more than one. The quality of the food is great and, prices are more than reasonable for the quality; which doesn't make it all that special. But, the outstanding personnel and the awesome Otoro do!!! I don't recommend trying this for the typical California Roll or Futo Maki fan or "aucthrup" (all-U-can-eat) wolverine since it would be an unpardonable waste. However, if you favor supreme quality and taste over quantity give it a try. You won't regret it!

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.

Anyone who reviews this restaurant with less than 5 stars was just having a damn bad day because…read morethis is definitely one of the finest restaurants I have eaten in in my life. From the moment I was greeted until I stepped back into the elevator the service I was given was impeccable. My server, Nils, was extremely informative and clear despite the fact that my German is nonexistent. His drink recommendations were spot on not only based on the taste profile I shared to him that I wanted to enjoy but in compliment to my food. I ordered the 5 course Omakase meal. (They offer 4, 5, and 6 course options) - Omakase means "Let the chef decide" or as I call it "Buy the ticket, take the ride" Omakase is for the brave and adventurous. I would not recommend Omakase if have special dietary needs or are a picky eater. What you are doing is allowing the chef to really flex their creative skills and in my opinion getting the best culinary experience possible. Based on my experience however you order at Yunico you are going to be stunned and delighted. As a side note, Nils informed me upon my inquiry that the restaurant will keep track of the dishes that you get in an Omakase meal and avoid duplication during subsequent visits. He suggested that I might have to visit a dozen times before encountering a duplicate dish! I believe him. I just wish I could afford to come that often haha

The YUNICO is awarded with 16 Points in Gault & Millau Germany 2015. And you can definitely experience that. It is amazing how ingredients are so beautifully blended to create an eating experience that triggers all the senses. We went for the surprise dinner by the chef with accompanying sake and wine. The only thing you have to know is that the prices are upper class as well. This restaurant targets for the kind of audience for whom money is no issue. And that is partly a shame, because more people should be able to experience such wonderful tastes. The prices are so high, that soon they probably have to reconsider, cause now it feels not in balance even if the food is the best I ever had. Another minor thing was the timing of the food, which took a bit too long. We felt too much like being 'waiting' between courses. This is the case more often with fine dining restaurants as the idea is probably that you have to give the food time to be greeted by your body and senses, but I guess I am not the person that wants to be dining for 3 hours or more. Anyway, if money is no issue and you like seriously ethereal food, go visit Yunico when you are in Bonn.

Complete NoGo! Rest of the review will follow after …read more.. Sorry, I had to interrupt my review and call it a day for the rest of the night. A fancy, club style interior welcomes the guest when first walking inside. On the outside everything looks high class. Underneath or better on the table you'll notice damaged tableware resting next to wasabi that's adopting the color of the adjacent ginger which in turn is as dry as the wasabi. The draft Kirin's crappy taste fits the picture perfect. Sake was ok. Talking sushi all dishes had the same weired aftertaste. Of all dishes beans and ham I liked most. I guess the cook usually works at a conventional restaurant. Overall, this sushi restaurant is excellent for quick diet. I lost about 2.5lbs at least within the next 18hrs. So, guess what my recommendation will be ... (P. S.: I don't know why one pic is missing that showed the lack of hygiene in this business???)

From the owner: Exquisite japanische Küche - Bewusst genießen…read more Die in der Zen-Lehre verwurzelte Idee, bewusst zu genießen und die exquisite japanische Küche zu vereinen und ein entspanntes Ambiente zu bieten, in dem der Gast den Alltag bei erlesenen Speisen genießen kann - mit Freunden, mit der Familie, aber auch mit Geschäftspartnern. Das ist das Restaurant zen. Die japanische Küche zeichnet sich durch viel Fisch und Meeresfrüchte, frische Zutaten und wenig Gewürze aus. Wert wird auf die Betonung des eigenen Geschmacks der Lebensmittel gelegt. Besonders Sushi ist in Deutschland sehr beliebt. Im Jahr 2013 wurde die japanische Küche von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt. Die japanische Ernährung sei nicht nur schmackhaft, sondern der Schlüssel zu einem langen Leben. Wir schöpfen daher aus einer alten japanischen Kunst, die von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben wurde. Wir verbinden jahrhundertelange Tradition mit der Moderne. Unser Konzept ist eine moderne Interpretation der japanischen Gastronomie, die mit den Handfertigkeiten der Vergangenheit kombiniert wird, um japanische Küche für heute neu zu kreieren.

This was the only sushi restaurant I ever went to when I was living in Germany…read more The owner is super friendly and often would give complementary sushi. Parking isn't always easiest has the street parking would fill up quite quickly. The food here is definitely worth parking a little further away to get to. The owner and sushi chef would serve up some amazing dishes, appetizers as well. I wish we had as of a sushi place and as intimate as this place back at home. I miss living in Germany and having access to such a great sushi spot.

To be honest I had low expectations but this place surprised me with their flavours and quality. This place takes a slightly modern twist to sushi and I loved it. Nice intense flavours that did not take away from the delicate fish and just enhanced the taste nicely. I had the small sushi plate and I could have happily eaten two of them ;-)) Good service, reasonable prices and despite being busy everything was freshly prepared and served fairly quickly. I would happily come here again. The menu is fairly extensive and lots of choice for all.

Just that last time I gave a conservative 3 stars, this time some optimistic 4 stars. Why? 'cause they did some cosmetic improvement about the place and the menu. Quality of the fish is decent. The liquor, beer and wine selection very good. However, everyone has to decide himself if the food is worth the buck.

Sometimes you wonder why ... There are a lot of reviews on…read moreYelp that rated this restaurant excellent, even calling it the no. 1 Sushi bar in Cologne. That was the main reason for coming here with high expectations. The interior is kept in a clean, welcoming Sushi bar style. We started out with some warm Sake. Unfortunately, it was one of those you can buy for 12€ a bottle in any supermarket. I guess it was also warmed up in a microwave causing the typical strange aftertaste. Next was a Spicy Tuna Maki roll and Unagi Nigiri. The Maki came w/ just a tiny bit of Maguro but lots of rice inside. The spicy taste was generated by a generous Tabasco shot. The Unagi tasted somewhat artificial. !!! Don't forget to order Wasabi for 0.50€ extra since there is none served with the Sushi dishes !?!??? Also, we received some kind of veggie Tempura we didn't order. I tried it but didn't like it. Fortunately, we didn't have to pay for it. Bottom line: The Kintaro has a promising, comfy interior. But, quality of its food doesn't reach expected standards. At maximum it's about average and, I cannot recommend this restaurant for Sushi. There are quite a few restaurants around that serve better Sushi for the same price or less, three of them w/in 600ft walking distance.
