Wengo Dumplings — Restaurant in Cologne

We’re both big dumpling lovers and were excited to try this place. We ordered the steamed lamb dumplings, steamed beef dumplings, and the fried chicken & vegetable big wantan. The beef dumplings had a nice crunchy texture from the veggies, and the fried wantan was juicy and satisfying.

As starters, we had the fried chicken and sea grass salad. The fried chicken was a highlight—crispy on the outside, with big, juicy bites of meat. The sea grass salad was too sweet for my taste, though my boyfriend (who’s German) thought it wasn’t too sweet, just lacking in flavor.

For drinks, we had a yuzu lemonade and a mojito. The yuzu lemonade was refreshing, but the mojito fell flat—it had a very mild mint flavor and felt a bit one-dimensional.

Overall, the dumplings were good with generous fillings, but not mind-blowing, especially if you’ve had a lot of different dumplings before. It’s a nice place to explore new flavor combinations, but for us, not a...

Friendly service, okay food, but their "house ice tea" was genuinely terrible. It tasted like they took a canned brown sugar boba ice tea, and then added mint and lime to make it look fancy. I had to send it back, something I have done less than five times in my life.

I had: Fried tofu. It was a good pan fried soft tofu. Dumplings - tofu (steamed), chicken, pork (pan-fried). In general, the dumplings were good. Skin wasn't too thick, filling tasted good. Disappointingly, the pan-fried dumplings were not very crispy, it was very lightly fried. Jiaozi soup was a little oily but fine otherwise.

I don't know what kind of Asian fusion this is supposed to be. It's supposed to be Chinese dumplings? But on the table were mostly Japanese sauces - S&B Ponzu, S&B La Yu and some other chilli oil. Ultimately, I don't think the food was executed well, only fine. And of course, a house ice tea so bad that soured the...

가려던 레스토랑이 예약이 꽉차서 역으로 되돌아가다가 우연히 들른 곳인데 음식이 모두 맛있었어요. 김치만두, 라멘, 완탕을 먹었고 국물 요리가 일품이었습니다. 특히 놀란건 김치가 아주 제대로 익어서 요리 풍미를 더했다는 점이에요. 아시아 여러 요리가 있는 곳이라 아무 기대 없이 먹었다가 깜짝 놀라서 어디서 김치를 구했냐고 물어보기까지 했고 중국 주인장이 직접 만들었다고 답해서 깜짝 놀라면서 전통 한국 김치 맛이라고 극찬하고 나왔습니다. 다른 음식과 곁들여 김치를 꼭 한번 드셔보세요!

The restaurant we were going to was fully booked, so we ended up turning back towards the station and stumbled upon this place. All the food was delicious. We had kimchi dumplings, ramen, and wontons, and the broth-based dishes were exceptional. I was especially surprised that the kimchi was perfectly fermented, which really enhanced the flavor of the dishes. Since it's a place with various Asian cuisines, I didn't have high expectations, but I was so surprised by the kimchi that I even asked the owner where they got it. He said he was from China made it himself, and I was genuinely shocked. I praised it as having the taste of traditional Korean kimchi and left. You should definitely try the kimchi with your meal!

Das Restaurant, in das wir gehen wollten, war ausgebucht, also kehrten wir zum Bahnhof zurück und stießen zufällig auf dieses Lokal. Alle Gerichte waren köstlich. Wir aßen Kimchi-Mandu, Ramen und Wan-Tans, und die Suppengerichte waren einfach fantastisch. Besonders überrascht war ich, dass das Kimchi perfekt fermentiert war und den Gerichten eine unglaubliche Note verlieh. Da es ein Lokal mit verschiedenen asiatischen Gerichten ist, hatte ich keine hohen Erwartungen. Aber das Kimchi hat mich so überrascht, dass ich sogar den Besitzer fragte, woher er es hätte. Er antwortete, dass er es selbst gemacht hat, was mich wirklich schockierte. Ich lobte es als traditionelles koreanisches Kimchi und verließ das Restaurant. Sie sollten das Kimchi unbedingt zu den anderen...
