Solid four stars - I liked the food more than Cyclo. We had bun (#20), veggie curry, and chicken &…read morebeef (meat broth) pho. The bun was good although the meat was a bit sparse. As an FYI, it came with plenty of fish sauce (which I'm ok with). If you don't like a lot of it perhaps you should ask for it on the side. The pho was good, not great. Broth was a bit tangier than I've had previously so be sure to taste it before adding any lime. Our server was nice enough to split the pho into two bowls since we were sharing and already ate 2 entrees. Love the mom-and-pop feel of the place. Fyi, they have different pho broths (chicken, beef, duck) which pretty unique since most places just have beef. Their chicken was good so my guess is the chicken pho is probably the tastiest.

Frankly, at the time I'm writing this review I don't remember what it exactly was but it was delicious for sure, cuz I remember leaving happy and full for the rest of the entire freaking hot day in Cologne.

I was especially happy at the fact that their menu was in English and their staff spoke English (in addition to being extremely courteous). 10/10 would recommend!

The small family restaurant is always busy and the staff are always lovely. the lady who owns the restaurant speaks Thai/Vietnamese/Cantonese/German/English and always does the check backs to make sure all her guests are enjoying themselves. The dishes are always generously portioned and I don't do this often, but I would recommend a duck main course here - the duck is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, which is rare when other Asian restaurants stir fry it in dishes. For starters, the Mix Starter is always a bit fancy because you get to char your own skewered chicken and beef as much as you like before slathering on the peanut sauce! The Nem (Vietnamese spring rolls served with lettuce and fresh herbs) is always a good choice. I've had the Pho Bo Tai (rare beef Vietnamese Pho) here from the specials menu and loved it's fragrant and authentic flavours. My favourite main course has got to be the Roll-It-Yourself Summer Rolls. You get a hot dish of the main filling, but you're provided with the rice paper sheets, rice noodles, fish sauce, lettuce, cucumber, beansprouts and fresh herbs to create your own refreshing main course. I have never been able to finish this main course on my own! A recent visit reminded me that I have duties as a Yelper to tell you about this place!

Spring Rolls and Fresh Rolls were good. Stir Fry Noodles and Red Curry were also good. The Tom Yum Goong wasn't bad but was disappointed that they didn't have sticky rice to go with it.

Finally, at 9:30, our 4 starter salads arrived (which were very good, to be fair!). However, other tables who arrived later started getting their orders, while we still didn't get our main course at 10:45!! That's almost THREE hours. Other guests started complaining about long waits as well. When we then decided to cancel the rest due to the ridiculous wait, all of a sudden food would be ready in 5 mins. We declined and asked for the bill. Full price was charged, not even a compensation to the (several) drinks we had to order during our ridiculously long wait. When we complained, staff was apologetic but obviously not able to really understand ours and other guests' frustration over the waiting times. Left totally disgruntled. The quality of the food is excellent (judging by the one thing we got served) but service is an utter disgrace!!

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.

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.

Beware not having any euros as this restaurant is cash only. Also staff speaks limited English…read more This location does do take away and Uber eats. Not sure why they do Uber eats but don't take card or advise or cash only before placing orders. Food: ordered a dish made with coconut milk sauce and shrimp which included vegetables and rice.

My friend ordered pad Thai, she advised it was good and just as she expected. Seating is outside and not inside restaurant. Very close together with other strangers inside your bubble. If you're ok with that this is the place for you. Overall it's in a popular area close to the hotel, but it's not a restaurant I'd recommend or return to.
