The best street food venues of type "Japanese Cuisine" in North Rhine-Westphalia
The best of different worlds, brought together in a Japanese fusion concept featuring halal meat. The combination of fluffy bao buns and crispy chicken or shrimp patties is especially delicious. Two salads, four vegan options, and super-crispy homemade fries.
The ITO’s little sister is lively and has tight seating. Shimastyle stands for creative fusion cuisine rather than ritualistic preparation: sushi without mainstream mayo, and top-quality ingredients. Highlights: truffle-infused onsen egg, Wagyu gyoza, and the sashimi dishes. Or go for the full dinner experience!
A sister restaurant to Düsseldorf’s Takumi, specializing in spicy tantanmen, has arrived in Cologne with cult status. The signature broth—sesame-based, aromatic, and spicy if you like—is available with chicken, vegetarian, or even vegan options. Gyoza, karaage, and takoyaki make for great appetizers.
A halal concept, anime aesthetics, and unconventional ideas: Funky Ramen has its own unique values—and has been nominated for ArchDaily’s “Building of the Year 2026” as a result. Those looking for classic fare will be disappointed: sushi, donburi, and noodle soups are given a contemporary twist and reinterpreted.
Fire up the grill! At this Japanese BBQ spot—worthy of a mood board—everyone can get hands-on. You can choose whatever you like: chicken thighs, lamb chops, fish, shrimp, corn, and seasonal specialties depending on the time of year, plus plenty of kimchi, edamame, and gyoza.
A quality-focused restaurant serving both traditional and modern Japanese-Korean cuisine. Playing with contrasts is part of the experience here: sashimi purism meets the ambition of specialty rolls, crunchy shrimp tempura meets tender kimchi tofu, and deep-fried maki meets the precision of nigiri.
Miyu translates to “beautiful evening”—and that’s exactly what you’ll experience at this stylish Asian fusion and sushi restaurant. The menu features carefully selected fish and meat of the highest quality. In addition to rice rolls, salads, and gyoza, the Wagyu tartare and udon noodles are particularly good.
