I love Strassfeld. The sushi rolls are absolutely delicious -- the best I've had yet in Cologne…read more Perhaps it's that the sushi has a more American style so it's more to my particular taste, or perhaps the relaxed outdoor patio in a quiet area not far from my house has sucked me in, but this restaurant has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. They also make up sushi for pickup, which we did last night. I recommend very highly if you love sushi -- particularly if you are American and find that the sushi here is somehow not quite the way you remember it from home.

The extra sushi was forgotten and I could see that they were cleaning up for the night. My friend reminded them and they not only quickly made our sushi, they also gave us sushi "on the house" to apologize. Later, they waved at us at the train station! Lovely people!

Very mini japanese/korean restaurant hidden between the busy street of Gereonsviertel, where the bars and some clubs are located. The small place is decorated so neatly with very asian taste. The whole tea placements and typical asian decorations will caught your eye the moment you enter the restaurant. What i like most: They have simple menu, so i guess people would not have to think very long on what to order. Competitive pricing for the quality and freshness of the sushi. Friendliness of the waiter/waitresses. Sushi boat! (What is it, you ask? - just see their menu and you will understand) What i dont like: Ummm, lemme think about it.... Wait... A.... Second.... I guess......? Nothing!! - i like this place so much i cant find anything i dont like. So in short, this place is "Oishii!" And i would definitely bring anyone or recommend it to anyone!

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!

Once, you enter the place you'll feel welcome and home. The staff pays attention; but, without bothering you. In fact they really care and remember. Back to the main reason for coming here: The Sushi is fresh, high quality fish and, served well decorated in various ways from classic Sushi to fancy, modern special rolls. Perfectly seasoned it leaves a well rounded flavorful taste. However, my recommendation is the classic Hamachi Sashimi! Also, there is a broad variety of dishes for those who prefer vegetarian food. And, I tried it as well and have to admit: it does taste (almost) as good as the "real" stuff. In short: Give it a shot. It's worth it!!!

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.

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.
