    It is the place worth to wait for a table! Sure, better to book in advance! Fancy interior, the food is just amazing and it’s a big pleasure to see the way how it is served 🤩 highly recommend for the vegans and for those who just like Asian food 🍱

    Just wow! I don't remember eating that good in a restaurant! Because I am a vegan I usually don't have a lot of options in restaurants and even when I go to a vegan restaurant the dishes are not extraordinary. But this restaurant just changed my expectations. Everything was delicious and presented like in a super expensive restaurant, but the prices were very good! I loved that I could order everything that I wanted without worrying about the ingredients because everything was vegan. The service was impeccable. Really I think is the best restaurant ever!

    I ordered crispy crisp tofu, green leaf, Buddha rolls, zenchay pocket, and red paradise for drinks. I like the drink (fruity but not too sweet), green leaf (the chewy texture from the mushroom and rich flavors from all the ingredients), and the Buddha rolls and zenchay pocket. The crispy crisp tofu was a bit too dry in my opinion and also the raspberry sauce was a bit too light. Either marinating the tofu before breading it or giving the sauce more flavor would make that starter more tasty. The internal design of the restaurant is modern and elegant. Stuffs are very friendly.

    Super delicious vegan food! The portion size was amazing, even for me. Everything was cooked just on point ~ the veggies were cooked and yet crunchy, each dish had a unique sauce, texture and taste that complimented each meal’s ingredients. If I would live in Cologne I would be definitely a regular customer! The prize point was amazing as well for this kind of quality, nice interior and atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant. As this seems to be a chain please consider opening in Frankfurt/Darmstadt/Mainz.

    Let’s start with the atmosphere at this place! When you enter you can observe little tidy details, which just make this place perfect. Everything is clean! new! organized! You can definitely make a conclusion that the place becomes the love not only of the customers, but also of the owners. Food - 100/10! Not only it was absolutely delicious, but also incredibly fresh. Every leaf or vegetable 🍃 looked flawless! In addition, we haven’t even noticed and the food was already served. Very quickly! Staff was friendly and patient! We had lunch. On the picture you can see M1 and M2 from the lunch.

    Food is very delicious and the portion is quite big enough for a person. Drinks are also very tasty 😋 You can only pay cash 💷 , which is not OK 👎🏻 Overall it is highly recommend 👍🏻

    The food served here is undeniably delicious, and they're remarkably efficient in ensuring quick servic. The waiter was very kind and polite enhancing the overall pleasant atmosphere. One noteworthy aspect is the reasonable pricing, providing fair value for the quality of food served. Additionally, the drink selection is truly impressive and adds to the overall satisfaction of the meal. Throughout my visits to Köln, this restaurant has remained a constant, always meeting my expectations. I warmly recommend it to anyone seeking enjoyable vegan cuisine 🌏🥑🥗

    Zen Chay-Asian is by far one of the most relaxing restaurants I’ve been to on my trip due to the music, restaurant’s design, and staff. My favorite out of everything we ordered were the tempura pears in the #10 Pearavo dish and the #20 Buddha Rolls. The staff was very pleasant, friendly, and accommodating. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Apps A. 8 months ago on Google
    Positives - central location - fast service - awesome cocktails - mind blowing food ! I tried sushi and udon noodles. Both were extra ordinarily good. Negatives - no card payment available

  • 5/5 Lia R. 9 months ago on Google
    This food is really well worth any trip. I took a friend here who is a certified meat lover and he really enjoyed the place. We got the hanoi soup and pagoda dream and both were delicious. I would recommend coming hungry though because the portions are substantial. I would definitely recommend this place even if you aren't vegan, you will definitely find something you like!

    I love this place: helpful staff, tasty food. A couple of disadvantages for me personally: only cash cash and no free WLAN(but maybe I just didn't find the network)

  • 5/5 Sophia 1 year ago on Google
    Wirklich leckeres, authentisch wirkendes Essen, große Portionen und das zu einem angemessenen Preis. Cocktails/Getränke ebenso lecker, insgesamt gutes Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis. Und alles vegan. Nur die Gänge sind recht eng um die Tische.

    Stopped by for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. We got a proper portion even though we had the lunch menu. The bowls were chock full of ingredients and delicious. The presentation was very attractive. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Tasteful decor. The restaurant is new and I hope there’ll be more patronage soon. From our point of view, excellent choice.
