    Wow! Unbelievable, what a good restaurant! Haven't eaten this well in ages. We took two small dishes to share, a bowl and two plates great sushi. Everything was super fresh, exciting and original. What a taste sensation! (And hurray without any animal suffering!) Drinking four cocktails together; all seriously good! WE WILL RETURN!! Just open, so I think this will be a populair place in no time.

    Superb place for lunch. Perfect atmosphere with peaceful music to ease your mind during your break. The daily menu was at a very good price level. I had the Buddha bowl, it could use a bit more spices and spicyness in my opinion, for the rest it was very flavorfull. The soup we also ordered a soup from the menu. It was perfect. First you taste the sweetness and saltiness... Then the cream comes forward from the coconut milk and it tops of with the heat In the back. Would definitely come back and recommend to go here. Tip for the restaurant, don't market the vegan part too much, it will scare away many people from trying out your good food.

    It was the 2nd time I have been to bodhi and again I left super happy. The food is delicious, there is no doubt about it. The flavour combinations, the consistencies of the food, all superb. Great restaurant with in a wel designed space. Definitely recommended.

    I love my green smoothie. My friend and I ordered eight different dishes from the starters and two desserts. All of them were very tasty. I enjoyed the food a lot.

    Beautiful restaurant, lovely design! The waiters weren’t really attentive, took quite a long time to get served or get their attention. Once we did food was out within 5min, was super fast. Great flavor, very yummy, would definitely recommend! I‘d say moderate pricing for what it is. Almost 14€ for 10 pieces of veggie sushi is quite intense. Quality is good though

    Great asian vegan spot. Incredibly fast, lovely staff and really nice setting environment. All dishes were great, clearly labeled for allergies/intolerance. 💯 recommended for vegetarian and vegans with friends. Make a reservation. They reply pretty quickly via WhatsApp!

    Their drinks are exceptional! Food is really good too, the only thing is that they were not accepting cards when I went, so it can make it hard sometimes.

    One of the best vegan restaurants I went to. Nevertheless, with the high score I was expecting more. The food from the lunch menu was good. The vegan shrimps I had were surprisingly near to the real ones and the sauce was delicious. The atmosphere was not much to my liking as inside was too hot and outside the sound of the transit was not so enjoyable.

    Amazing dishes with very creative combinations resulting in unexpected flavours and a burst of umami! The service was very friendly and ultra fast despite the crowded/busy Friday night. The only negative is that when we visited the restaurant could only accept cash payments. Nevertheless would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

    I’ve came here for the first time today, and I must say… WOW!!!! This is maybe the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been and I travel a lot!! The food is out of this world, good quantity and fresh ingredients! The service is friendly and super fast!! Highly recommend the ( white peals) dumplings!!!

    A very well designed cosy and chill place. Music is good and the personnel great. Generally the service in Germany is slow (compared to Turkey) but we get our dishes 5mins after the order, it’s surprising:) Number 26 as a main dish is excellent!! Signature cocktail and Hanoi Smash 👍👍 #6 golden pearl is nice.. Definitely recommended…

    The food is AMAZING, so tasty and with great variety. The service was fast and polite, plus the restaurant has cute decorations inside and even tables outside.

    A friend recommended this place and I see what the fuzz was about. DELICIOUS!!!! It’s always a haven to wonder what to choose not only because it is “edible” for veggies but because everything sounds and was) scrumptious. Only downside is that they were only accepting cash and it’s not on the cheaper end (and closest ATM is next to a nightclub…shady af). Just come prepared and enjoy!

    An affordable vegan dining location with a nice ambience. The taste and quality of food and drinks were excellent. The dishes came with a light touch of creativity, so while bearing resemblance to classical south East Asian dishes, they are still different on their own. I’d be happy to come back again.

    Had dinner here today. What an indulgence! We tried several drinks and food and it's just a pity we didn't have room for more. All 100% vegan. Also very good service. And last but not least: interior gives a very good ambiance.

    Great place to eat around the area. Outside it's not so stylish but the inside interior is atmospheric with the possibility to sit around large round tables, great for sharing the small (or other) dishes with some people. Food is good, served aesthetically and service friendly, attentive and fast. We tried several things, e.g. the main dish with vegan shrimp and peanut sauce, dumplings (commercially made), mango salad, and it is everything you can expect from a vietnamese inspired vegan restaurant. I We also went with people who eat meat and they were also satisfied. Prices for mains are very fair, 11-15 € for good sized mains. The small dishes, coffee and desserts are a bit higher priced, considering the size (e.g. 4,50 € for two mochi ice creams ) but still fair. Cocktails and vietnamese coffee are very sweet.

    I have eaten here a number of times, each time trying something different. Also with company who as I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service and atmosphere are good. I highly recommend this place.

    What we enjoyed about Bodhi, except the food which was amazing, is that it had a good quiet vibe, we visited in later afternoon. The menu is full of adventurous vegan and vegetarian dishes suitable for a wide pallet and people of all age.

    Gorgeous food. Fast service (yet not hurried). Beautiful fresh flavours - a real treat and excellent value for money. Definitely would recommend.

    Loved the vegan bowl Pagoda Dream. Nice ambience. Good service.

    The best restaurant we’ve been to! Me and my girlfriend were searching for a vegan restaurant to enjoy a nice lunch in Cologne. We did not expect the quality, originality and deliciousness Bodhi’s menu would offer. The fried goods were crispy and light, the sauces unique and flavorful, the overall dishes balanced and just perfect. This restaurant would be great for people who don’t normally eat vegan, there was nothing missing in everything we ate. Just as warm, cozy and succulent as the non-vegan dishes we grew up eating. This is a great display of vegan cuisine, which shows how awesome and satisfying vegan food can be. Additionally, the servers were extremely nice and the restaurant was clean and well kept. The toilets were impeccable! We seriously recommend eating at Bodhi, it should get as much recognition as it deserves! Especially with that delectable mochi ice cream!

    A fresh break from traditional German food. Tasty and flavorful, I had 2 starters, which could have been a meal, and a main. Good and quick service and English menu available. Inside and 2 outside areas, the food in my photos is really not red but a reflection of the terrace tents.
