The broth was very hearty and delicious. The noodles were not over cooked but just right! I wish their starters were a little bit larger, but all in all friendly service and good experience!

I have tried other dishes from this restaurant as well - and they are delicious too - but their PHO is the best! Other recommendations: Bo La Lot, their duck dishes (especially the crispy duck), and their their original Vietnamese spring rolls (wrapped in crispy rice paper, comes either as a starter or with rice noddles and salads)... YUM!!!!! Staff is friendly, especially the boss! Always very generous!

The eggplant dish was great and I got a pickled pork dish that was.. Okay. I saw it online so I felt that I had to get it because it's the first time I've seen this dish in Germany! Anyways, my mom makes pickled cabbage and pork reeeeally well, so I can't fault these guys for not being as awesome as my mom. Rice was free! She let me bring the leftovers home, packaged it all nice and it was even sealed. Would highly recommend going to this restaurant.

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.
