"9.9 euros for a wok fried noodle is insane! Taste really good, it’s self service restaurant but worth to try it as an Asian tourist"

"Hands down the best Thai restaurant north of Bonn and west of the Ural mountains. Huge selection of authentic Thai street food dishes, cooked to perfection, and offered at reasonable prices. It is self-service, with a buzzer at your table letting you know when your order is ready to be picked up - a very short wait it was in our case. The food was tasty and fresh. We also enjoyed the interior: a somewhat urban feel with interesting design notes - be sure to glance up at the ceiling when you're in there! Overall, highly recommended!!"

"Great stop for a low key Thai meal. You order at the counter and wait for your meal. Decent amount of indoor seating during cold weather. Large selection of Thai dishes in varying spice levels. Most dishes can be made vegetarian. There are vegan and lactose free options as well. Nothing is specifically labeled as gluten free, but it seems like a lot of dishes are rice based so it may be gluten free, worth asking. The food is delicious and comes out pretty quickly, even when busy. Portions are large and price are great, especially for the area. Bathrooms are clean. We enjoyed our dinner here and would come back."

"Authentic Thai Flavors Just Like Home If you're craving real Thai food that tastes just like it does in Thailand, this Thai restaurant won't disappoint. The chef is Thai, and the flavors are spot on — rich, balanced, and unmistakably authentic. Thai customers will feel right at home with the taste. The portions are generous, but don’t worry — takeaway boxes are available if you can’t finish everything. It’s also perfect for sharing, as dishes can be ordered as sides to enjoy together, Thai family-style. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with tasteful Thai decor, clean and well-maintained restrooms, and soft/popular Thai music playing in the background. The restaurant is located right by the main road, easily accessible by public transport. It’s a popular spot with a steady stream of customers, but it’s not overcrowded. The overall vibe is cozy and relaxing. I brought my Thai parents here, and they absolutely loved it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true taste of Thailand abroad — with reasonable prices and a setting that feels like home."

"Did takeaway here during our trip and we absolutely loved it! Very authentic flavoured Thai cuisine, fast service (approx 10min wait for our takeaway order) , affordable price which nowadays is also quite unique... And if you ask to give Asian spicy level they can actually make it very spicy! Will definitely come back here if we ever visit Köln again! Great place and wish them all the best with their business!"

"The food is delicious and better than in many other Asian places we tried, although very salty. Price is okay, portion is big. Tasty limonades. A central location, directly at Tram station Heumarkt. "-" for a not so comfortable environment, looks not finally constructed, not cosy. And plastic cups for the drinks are not sustainable!"
