If you like a quick tasty bite, but don't want to go for the typical döner, this is the place!…read moreChiNoo only serves one thing: Korean fried chicken (ok, along with 3-4 other Korean staples). 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.

A little, hidden Japanese gem in Köln. The quality of the fish was fantastic. The ambiance…read morepositive. The service was friendly and fast. The prices were somewhere between cheap and affordable. My partner and I each ordered two beverages... And a huge platter of sushi between the two of us (to reallly fill us up) and spent less than €50. I'm not really sure what else this place could do to deserve a 5 star, and so I'm giving it what it deserves.

Reading all the reviews about this place I was looking fwd to enjoying a marvelous dinner…read more Hmh... Walking in you face a strong odor somewhere in the line of an oily cheap Asian joint combined with a Kebab place. With the exception of one Asian cook everybody else looked more like a Kebab cook. However, the menu shows a broad variety of Japanese/Asian style food. I decided to go classic. Now the really disappointing part: The tuna sashimi had about the same amount of fat as lamb meat. Also, the way it was cut looked more like kebab than sashimi. Just take a look at the pictures I posted. The rest looked ok. But, it didn't taste too fresh. In fact, it didn't really have any flavor at all. Anyhow, it's the place to go if you prefer quantity over quality. Didn't give 1 star because I've been to one place that was worse.
