Authentic Chinese cuisine.

(Translated by Google) The non-spicy dandan noodles are great! (Original) 不辣的担担面真是棒棒的！

(Translated by Google) We were there with friends, 4 adults and 3 children. Service was cheerful and friendly and we had a lot of fun eating. Ordered 8 dishes and all were very tasty. Kung Pao chicken, pointed cabbage with glass noodles, spicy fried eggplant, Sichuan tofu, fried cauliflower, lotus root with honey, cucumber salad and a dish with noodles and beef. All highly recommended. If you are looking for an authentic (Sichuan) Chinese restaurant in Cologne, I can fully recommend Höfchen. (Original) Wir waren mit Freunden dort, 4 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder. Service war gut gelaunt und freundlich und wir hatten viel Spaß beim Essen. 8 Gerichte bestellt und alle sehr lecker. Kung Pao Hähchen, Spitzkohl mit Glasnudeln, scharfe, gebratene Aubergine, Sichuan Tofu, gebratenen Blumenkohl, Lotuswurzel mit Honig, Gurkensalat und ein Gericht mit Nudeln und Rindfleisch. Alle sehr empfehlenswert. Wenn man in Köln ein authentisches (Sichuan-) chinesisches Restaurant sucht, kann ich Höfchen vollumfänglich empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) At first it seems quite expensive, but it is worth the price! I had the beef in chili oil and at first thought that €20 would be a lot, but this dish is easily enough for four people! Anyone who manages to eat everything alone has probably consumed over 4000 kcal. Of course it's designed for chopsticks, so there's a lot of oil left over, but that would be a shame, so I took my huge leftover with me :) It's spicy - but very pleasant in the mouth, but scratchy in the throat and throat - had to cough a bit. My more European stomach doesn't tolerate the whole thing very well. But I also certainly chose the most intolerable dish. But for me that is a feature of authenticity. It tastes very balanced, spicy, umami and well prepared. I've been looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant for a long time and finally found it. The only stupid thing is that I was alone and couldn't try everything. I'd be happy to come back with several people and catch up on that. Absolute recommendation for food lovers who want to try real Chinese cuisine. (Original) Zunächst erscheint es vermeintlich recht teuer, aber es ist den Preis wert! Ich hatte das Rindfleisch in Chiliöl und dachte zuerst, dass 20€ relativ viel wären, doch dieses Gericht reicht locker für vier Personen! Wer es schafft, alles alleine zu essen, hat vermutlich über 4000 kcal zu sich genommen. Natürlich ist es für Stäbchen ausgelegt, sodass eine Menge Öl überbleibt, was aber schade wäre, ich habe deshalb meinen enormen Rest mitgenommen :) Es ist scharf – aber sehr angenehm im Mund, aber kratzend im Rachen und Hals - musste etwas husten. Mein eher europäisch geprägter Magen verträgt das ganze nicht so gut. Ich habe aber auch sicherlich das unverträglichste Gericht gewählt. Das ist für mich aber ein Merkmal der Authentizität. Es schmeckt sehr ausgewogen würzig, umami und gut zubereitet. Ich habe lange nach einem authentischen chinesischen Restaurant gesucht un es endlich gefunden. Das einzig doofe ist, dass ich allein war und nicht alles probieren konnte. Ich komme gerne mit mehreren Personen wieder und hole das nach. Absolute Empfehlung für Food-Lovers, die echte chinesische Küche testen wollen.

This is one of the best Sichuan restaurants that I can find in Europe 💓 The food is so authentic and to die for. Spicy chicken and twice cooked pork are top notch! You have to try the pork hock in spicy chilly oil, it’s a cold dish and it’s my favorite. Their desserts are very nice as well, all are my favorite 🤤 Their service is pretty good as long as you don’t have high expectations. 😉 In my experience, Chinese restaurants always have similar level of service. They are not talkative or they may seem to not care much. But they are focusing on what they are doing. As long as they don’t disrespect me, I honestly think that is authentic experience if you dine in Chinese restaurant. 😆 For all of these people who complained about service. In Chinese restaurant, if the service is good, there are 2 scenarios: either the food sucks, or it’ll be very expensive. I’ve been to a very good Sichuan restaurant in Amsterdam and it’s much more expensive than here but you get 5* service 😃 And for people who complained about the amount of oil they use, please google Sichuan food and see how they actually cook their food. 🥹 I do agree that their consistency is a little off. I’ve been here around 7-8 times and sometimes the seasoning is less on point than the other. Overall, the food is still good 👍🏻 I am Vietnamese but I love Sichuan food. I’ve trying so many Sichuan restaurants in the US and Eu and we have Sichuan friends too, they often explained to me how the food should taste like so I’m pretty confident with Sichuan cuisine 😆

The best Sichuan restaurant in Cologne. Recommended dishes are Fish in chilli oil, Aubergine and beans, cold mushroom salad and all of the wok options.

(Translated by Google) Really excellent Chinese food in Cologne. But the soda didn't have much flavor, and the big bottle of stillwasser was delivered and had already been opened? (Original) 在科隆真的是很優秀的中餐。但汽水沒啥氣，stillwasser大瓶子送上來已經開過了？
