    Place is great. Portion sizes aren’t huge but they are delicious. The tea is great here. Would also highly recommend the bao. A nice mix of Asian cuisines.

    Really delicious food. Ordering a bunch of appetizers instead of a full plate is a smart choice. The egg tempura and chicken are my absolute favorites. The ribs were incredible. I also tried their ramen (pork) and it’s the first ramen I’ve had in Medellín that tasted decent! Was frankly surprised. Music was too loud as if in a club. Ruins the experience. Worse when I had asked them more than 3 times to lower it down. They never changed it. I was screaming the entire time trying to talk to a friend next to me.

    Great food. Huge menu. Ambience is European and quite grand. I prefer more cosy settings however this is a personal preference. Waiters very friendly. Service is slow and I assume it’s because everything is as fresh as it tastes. Could have more staff though waiting for 30 mins for a drink is a bit much.

    First time we went for dinner, everything was excellent. Food and service were good. Second time we went for lunch, restaurant had only 5 tables occupied, took them 1 hour 15 minutes for our 3 Pork Ramen, and they arrived warm (not hot as a ramen/ soup supposed to be) pork were dry and warm only. Their excuses, chef was busy preparing many plates for new menu pictures. It was unacceptable. As clients we wanted to enjoy our good quality food and service. If their kitchen couldn’t handle clients and photo sessions, they should prioritize their clients and did photo sessions after lunch time.

    This place is fantastic! Right when you enter the door you can feel that you’re about to experience something special. The ambiance and decor are eclectic, and there is a high attention to detail both in the food and the service. The menu is quite diverse across different types of asian cuisine, there seems to be something for everyone. We tried multiple dishes, but they were all so good that I can’t recommend one in particular. I imagine pointing blindly at the menu would yield good results every time. I made the mistake of going in shorts and a T-shirt and felt a bit out of place. It’s not fine dining, and there’s no dress code, but certainly the preferred attire would be semi-formal or business casual. Update: Just tried the Chocolate Albahaca Cardamomo. It was delightful and different and I recommend you try it specifically. Update2: I’ve been here multiple times now and it holds up. Maybe the best restaurant in the city.

    Really nice place to have a drink or to grab some food. It has a chic vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. The dishes are nice and the dessert was an experience, the service was excellent and always with a smile.

    Restaurante Cuon is an Asian fusion restaurant with a modern design and comfortable setting. It is located in the heart of one of Medellin’s tourist districts and as such had a lot of foreign guests when we visited. The food was good and the service was pleasant. Prices are as expected. Credit cards are accepted.

    the place has a great architecture and style, the lighting is really good as well. service was perfect and efficient and the food was very good as well. loud electronic music was just a tiny bit disturbing for us, but, is more a personal taste matter, as we don’t enjoy that music that much. the experience of being able to see the kitchen live while preparing your food is very good as well.

    UPDATE:Again, came back in October 2021, just because it's so good ❤️ April 2021 This place is very veeeery good. They offer a complete experience. They thought of everything when coming up with the concept. -The service was impecable. -The space is large, the garden area was the nicest. We sat there and it was very refreshing. When we saw the prices we thought this had to be a very good place as they are above average, and they were good,but still somethings are just overpriced. -We tried 2 cocktails: The " dragon of the tea" and the "volveré" , and both were really good, plus the dragon jar is a great idea. Our expectations were really high given the cocktails we had. We ordered: - Tuna tataki, it was nicely served and the flavor was good. The dressing for the salad was great. -Pork gyosas, they were a little crunchier than expected, but the pork flavor was stunning. -Philadelphia sushi roll, the flavor was good, this is such a classic but not easy to find a place in Colombia where they put the right amount of everything, here it was well mixed, the salmon was nice , enough cream cheese and avocado, and, - Prawns ramen, which was just ok, it is of a thicker consistency than usual, but the flavor was strong and delicious. The downside was that they let the prawns burn, they were supposed to be grilled and have a smoky flavor but they were overcooked and burned 😐☹️. Also , they use Udon noodles which are definitely not my favorite being so thick and simple. -I would definitely come back and recommend it.

    As a former fine dining bartender I can attest this place is incredible. By far the best meal we had in Medellin and the service was top notch. Don't hesitate. Sit outside the vibe is excellent!

    Plenty of vegan options to choose from which is a nice surprise 🙏 Love everything about this place. The food, the service, the cocktails are awesome (highly recommend the tea ones) and the atmosphere is nice with cool music from the DJ.

    The vibe and environment in this restaurant is beautiful. But for an open kitchen concept at least keep the kitchen clean. As far as food: prawns overcooked, scallops over cooked besides the bigger ones - makes sense since it was not evenly cut. My Nigri, rice was too soft chewy, so it had more water than needed. Service was solid. the waiter I received spoke a bit of English, that is a plus. I will try again as I wanted ramen but saw seafood. Hopefully the ramen when I order will be good next time I visit.

    The place was beautiful, we were greeted and seated on the bar, staff super friendly, recommendations given by them were amazing. All items we ordered were little and meant to be shared, the flavor combinations were really outstanding. The drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) 10/10. The experience was truly close to perfect, loved the relaxed vibe of the place. If I ever go back to Medellin, 100% chance of eating here again.

    The environment and restaurant are nice! The dishes tho, took quite long taking into consideration that the place was pretty empty. The taste was ok, some dishes are better than others, the Red Curry Wok was the best one in my opinion. Price wise i’d call this one overpriced… it’s worth the experience but not the food.

    Great food. Excellent ambiance. Friendly service. They do not take reservations but they do take Amex. Large full service bar. Easy to connect to free wifi. Indoor and outdoor dining.

  • 5/5 Orion From S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food and interior design are top notch. If ONLY the music would match the Japanese theme it would be perfect. And of course Japanese girls in kimono to serve the food, but that's a bit much to ask. I haven't seen any Asians in Colombia - they'd have to import them.

    The place is really nice and the food is really good wasn't impressed with dessert but the sushi was perfect.

  • 5/5 PN H. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent experience overall. - food quality and correct price (for this quality) - place decorated with taste - staff friendly Bonus: they do creative cocktails

  • 4/5 alfred g. 2 years ago on Google
    Apparently they only had vegan ramens… the ambiance is great but portions small. Salmon bowl is pretty good- just a bit too acidic with the fermented veggies and sushi rice

  • 5/5 Ethan S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is standard, the gyoza is phenomenal, a little sad you only get 3 per order, but they make a strong case for ordering 2 servings. Where Cuon shines is the drinks. Some of the best cocktails I have had, very innovative, their smoke infusions complement their chosen signiture drink ingredients nicely. I think the move here is 3 drinks and gyoza as a starter. I will be back for sure!
