Daimyo - Ramen & Fitnes Sushi Restaurant — Restaurant in Cologne

very mixed experience. The food was excellent,5 * But the organization is lets say it polite optimizable. We arrived at the time we reserved the table,perfectly 5 minutes ahead. Then the problem began.For 15 minutes nobody showed up,so no chance to get over the time with at least a drink. It took 45 Minutes till we had our first drink! Then we had to wait another 45 minutes till the starter arrived on our table! The main course was served surprisingly fast but that didnt help much any more. Also the restaurant is very stuffed with seats,many of them only banks,meaning no backrest. there is also no possibility to hang your coats,so you have to sit on/beside them on the already very little space. So I can't say whether we will return despite the very good cooking.And I can tell,I'm a quite spoiled man depending food and here the food is VERY GOOD...

NO CREDIT CARDS. Do not be fooled by the credit card terminals, they only take German debit cards or cash. The servers working the night I went seemingly fought over who would have to serve me (since I don’t speak German and they both had poor English.) I offered to use Google Translate to make it easier for everyone, but they weren’t having it. I am accustomed to the differences in restaurant culture between Germany and the US, with German servers not checking on you every 10 minutes. They checked on the German speaking tables to my left and right but would ignore my eye contact and my small waves. It made the mediocre food that much more...

Nice little place to be with friends and family. The downsides: 1: Bought of the Ramen orders were without the eggs. :( 2: The taste was good but no what we expected and unfortunately a little bit to pricey. 3: It's very crowded and even with a reservation you can't be sure to get a table. 4: It's getting very loud after a while, maybe because of the small space, idk...Maybe some nice Japanese music would help.. The positives: 1: The employers are incredible nice. 2: The interior design is beautiful and authentic. 3: The Sushi is amazing and the fish is very tasty...
