The best street food venues of type "Asian Cuisine" in North Rhine-Westphalia
Decorated with a bathtub full of squeaky ducks, this experience restaurant in Flingern specialises - as the name suggests - in Peking duck with crispy skin and variously filled dumplings in bright colours. The dishes are designed to be shared. It's great fun!
Fans say: this is where you eat the best phở in town. And pretty much everything tastes good here. In addition to the eponymous soup made with beef balls, rump and breast, don't miss the homemade egg noodles with duck breast and the mini pancakes.
If you like Viet cuisine, you will love this small snack bar with its authentic interior. Phở, spring rolls, udon noodles, roast duck and bó là lốt - beef rolls wrapped in betel nut leaves - surprise with their freshness, balance and harmony of flavours.
Cool ambience, friendly staff and Hunan cuisine with a high level of authenticity and no shortage of highlights. However - watch out! - the spiciness often takes your shoes off. The lowest level is enough for European palates. Attention again: cash payment only.
This simple and charming snack bar focuses on organic home-cooked broths, handmade pasta and meats. For those who like it a little spicier: chilli oil is available. The small menu with momos, noodle soups and salads is constantly being supplemented with specials. Wonderful.
The Biang-Biang newcomer in the city centre has set itself the goal of being the new "hand-pulled noodles" benchmark in Düsseldorf. The very long and wide noodles, freshly pulled in front of the guests, have a great consistency somewhere between firm to the bite, chewy and fine.
Hot pot hotspot with authentic Szechuan flavours, exciting ingredients and sophisticated ideas. Thanks to the two- or three-part pot, you can savour the large selection of spicy and mild broths as well as a wide variety of additions such as lamb, squid, pork balls and more.
Authentic dishes from the Middle Kingdom in a folklore-free, calm feel-good atmosphere, with a striking lighting installation. Jiǎozi, spring rolls and wan tan are just as much a part of the menu as "Moonlight over the desert" or "Memories of the Silk Road".
You no longer have to travel to China for authentic hand-pulled noodles. A trip to Neumarkt is enough, where delicious biángbiáng - with braised beef or pork, for example, but also pak choi - as well as excellent jiaozi and baos are on the menu.
The well-known NiHao has reopened in the former Veggie Vu. The joint venture between the two snack bars offers vegan Vietnamese dishes such as tofu with peanut sauce as well as Chinese evergreens such as pork belly in Szechuan sauce or Hong Kong duck specialities.
Korean speciality restaurant with a pub atmosphere and a large selection of soju. The popular rice schnapps is just as much a part of a typical meal as kimchi – pure or in pancake form. Really good: the many different Korean fried chicken variations.
The black, brown, and Euro-pallet wood interior of the fast food restaurant focuses on intensely flavoured sauces and authenticity, which is why you will find chicken feet on the menu alongside kimchi pancakes, seafood stew, fried tofu, bulgogi, and more.
Culinary pit stop in bao bun form. The fluffy steamed buns filled with crispy chicken, fine shrimps, spicy tofu or cauliflower are ideal for a quick lunch break, but are also a good remedy for a slight stomach ache during weekend shopping.
This somewhat run-down Thai snack bar on the busy Barbarossaplatz will probably never win a beauty award, but the cuisine is incredibly authentic. Original Thai, with a choice of spiciness: beef soup, tom yam, crispy pork belly and pad Thai.
Authentic Chinese cuisine beyond sweet and sour pork and wan tan. Traditional dishes with beef tripe or pork intestines are worth a try, but the noodles from Shaanxi province, which are pulled in the open kitchen, are particularly tasty.
Corndogs, fried chicken and other Korean street food treats. Sausages are wrapped in batter, deep-fried until crispy and pimped up with rich sauces and toppings of your choice - not for calorie counters. The tteokbokki, rice cakes with spicy sauce, also tastes good.
Not just an insider tip since being featured on Kitchen Impossible. Nowhere else in Cologne - within walking distance of the main railway station - can you eat such authentic Chinese food: spiced duck tongue, fried crab, beef offal in a spicy sauce or (tip!) mapo tofu, with or without minced meat.
Korean-Japanese cuisine fusion at its best. From the delicious fried or steamed mandu to the curries prepared with ramen broth and the bulgogi kimbap, everything is homemade. The Korean fried chicken is delicious, as is the cauliflower with crispy breading.
Uyghur snack bar with hand-pulled noodle specialities not far from the main railway station. It's fun to watch the chef pull the Central Asian pasta. The noodles taste particularly good in beef broth with chilli oil, vegetables and tender meat.
When a little Thailand craving strikes, a large portion of Pad Thai with prawns in the small snack bar on Venloer Straße will help. The Khao Man Gai, steamed chicken on rice with vinegar-chilli sauce and coriander, is also very authentic. Few high tables, cramped seating.
