First time going to a vegan restaurant and was definitely impressed. The portion filled me up and the broth was very tasty. I got a mushroom special and really loved it. The servers were very friendly too. Would love to come here again. We could pay with card.

From a Japanese perspective, it wasn't very good experience.
Unfortunately, due to covid measurement, we could only pick up.
I ordered Kitsune Udon.

The staff was unfriendly, when we asked a few questions when picking up, she wanted us to leave quickly. The place and the website, and even choices of plates, menu designed had a Japanese vibe, and I was sure that a Japanese person was involving, and I wanted to ask if there is any Japanese working there.
She just said "not anymore."

Flavor wise, to be honest, other than tofu part, I can cook it better.
Their udon was handmade and that part was nice, but it was too soft in the way コシがたりない, they should've pressed the dough harder.
The soup was terrible, they used too much Kombu as dashi and left it too long for sure, it turned out really bitter and really strong taste of Egumi.
I could barely finish it.

I hope they can improve it because the interior design looked nice.

We get take-away often, and it’s always super tasty! Especially love the Golden Tan Tan.

It was a disappointing experience.
I visited this place with my friend after looking at the high ratings and very good reviews it has. The first impression after entering the restaurant was pleasant. The place looks cozy, the ambience is warm and welcoming and it has a vibe of a student place. I really liked their menu card. It had few options but that covered a good variety of udon. I ordered a big bowl of rice with tempura and sauce and my friend ordered a platter as he was really hungry. We had to wait for more than 45 minutes to get our dishes and we thought- wow, something good is on its way! Boy were we disappointed. First of all, for a “big” bowl of rice for 6 euros and the “platter” for 12 euros, the quantity felt really less. My rice bowl had plain rice, soy sauce and tempura, that’s it. The tempura was too oily. With every bite the oil was oozing out. Same with the platter. The oil made me feel pukish. To get over that taste, we ordered chocolate cake and tiramisu. The tiramisu had a crispy layer and runny cream. The chocolate cake was dry.
I don’t know if it was just a bad day for them or we expected a lot. But for the time and money we spent, the experience didn’t feel worth it.

We found this vegan restaurant by luck and I am very grateful for it. I cannot recall the names of the dish but it was absolutely fantastic. All the ingredients fit the dish perfectly and the noodles were also a great addition, I particularly love the way they made their noodles. So if you happen to be in Cologne and around this area, go check it out and you won't regret it. Once you are there ask to the people to the counter, who will more than happy to help you with your choice.

Great, fresh food. The whole menu seems to be vegetarian or even vegan. Semi self-service with below average speed. Very nice staff, although the place itself is a little strange; no music, cold lights, and the whole interior seems to be assorted from bulk waste. The walls are plastered with (very) left-leaning posters. Tries very hard to be different and quirky, but there are worse things to aspire.
