After enjoying a day at the Christmas Markets eating fried potato cakes, French fries with mayo,…read moreand mulled wine, I craved something fresh and healthier for dinner, like sushi! Chao Asian Food and Sushi easily satisfied my craving. My wife, daughter, and I enjoyed maki rolls, tempura shrimp, and a shared sushi platter. I love temaki rolls, think of seaweed shaped into a cone, filled with rice, fish, cucumber, etc... Chao's version included avocado, which added a creamy texture and flavor, to accompany the fresh salmon. Plus, I requested that mine be prepared spicy, which they were happy to do. It was SO good, between the three of us, we pursed 1 normal and 3 spicy :-) This friendly restaurant is located very close to the cathedral and to the Ludwig museum. You'll find it overlooking the Rheine. I recommend making a visit to Chao to satisfy your sushi cravings.

In Cologne for business, I was looking for an exotic food to escape from the curry wurst ( ).. And…read moreby chance I have found this little gem! Amazing and tasteful meal... so cheap! I would recommend anyone wanting to eat nice Asian dishes to stop by... There is also a nice view on the Rhein... I will definitely go back before heading home!

However, the restaurant looks quite comfortable and inviting, especially when yo see all that deliciousness on display. The food is well prepared, fresh and has a good taste. I would give three stars if it was in D'dorf. But, compared to the other places around it is well worth four stars. I recommend giving it a shot. It's definitely not a waste of money, time and/or calories. :)))

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.

YUM!!!!! Staff is friendly, especially the boss! Always very generous!

But man, it's well worth it! Either order the chicken on its own, or go for the ChiNoo menu with the added fried noodles. Choose your sauce (I recommend the Pikant!) and enjoy! Surrounded by (way too many) döner places, ChiNoos is the perfect alternative. Or in my case: the only place to go on Chlodwigplatz. Döner what? Durum where? No, ChiNoo's is the place for me.

Good Bulgogi. Better than Bibimbab's down the road…read more I tried Chi.Noo's tonight, and ordered the Bulgogi. It is primarily a fried chicken place. The interior is nice, although tonight it was very hot, (34 degrees C) so I sat there and sweat. There are three tables for four and some wall seating. It appears to be a Korean husband and wife who work there. She was working the fried chicken up front, and he went into the back to cook my Bulgogi and some Bibimbap for two Korean businessmen who were dining there at the same time. The couple were eating fresh fruit at one of the tables in the back--one often sees asian food staff eating healthy like this. The bulgogi came with rice, whereas one of the pictures here shows noodles. There was kimchi, bean sprouts, and spicy vegetables (root?) on the side. The bulgogi had a good amount of sauce leak onto the rest of the plate, it looked a little mealy, but tasted great. As it was just cooked, it was hot and delicious. The bibimbap the businessmen were eating looked more authentic and with greater portion size than Bibimbab's. Relative to Bibimbab, which is down line 15 on Zulpicherplatz, Chi.Noo's bulgogi was a much better portion size. It is also a lot less corporate-like. The prices are about the same (Bulgogi at Chi.Noo's was 7.90E). I'll definitely go back there for a bulgogi-fix, and probably not to Bibimbab's. As I was leaving a gentlemen ordered a box of noodles to go, so that is an option there. It would not be a good place for a date, but great for an informal meal, especially on a cooler day. There is one of those awesome for men open air outdoor urinal things across the street, a Chlodwigplatz feature. It is worth going to Zulpicherplatz for a 1E eis afterwards.
