Tasty and friendly

Super nice place! I was the only one there when I arrived, as I got there a few minutes after 5. The lady who owns it was super friendly and she cooked super fast and of course, well! I had the rice pancakes for starter and then a Vietnamese dish with vegan beef, orange and different vegetables with rice. Both were really good and I’d have both again, but I particularly recommend the pancakes! Clean and reasonably priced, too.

Incredible Vietnamese Food. Cash Only

The second time we went on a Saturday at the end of September 2024, we chose dishes 63 ("Pho") and 75 ("Bun Bo Hue"). This time there was only the chef, who was also the waitress and cashier. She didn't speak English, but was able to communicate with my “bad” German. The food was amazing again. We paid in cash, as they don't take cards.
1st time. Vietnamese vegan restaurant. Really amazing dishes made to order. Very friendly staff. We chose options 61 ("Special Big Bowl with Noodle Soup") and 75 ("Bun Bo Hue"). As a starter, we ordered option 05 ("summer rolls"), which was absolutely incredible. Good location, close to the "Poststraße“ metro. The only negative point is that they don’t accept card. Cash only.

Na segunda vez em que fomos num sábado no final de set/2024, escolhemos os pratos 63 (“Pho”) e 75 (“Bun Bo Hue”). Só estava dessa vez a chef, que ao mesmo tempo era a atendente e caixa. Ela não falava inglês, mas foi possível se comunicar com meu alemão “ruim”. A comida novamente estava incrível. Pagamos em dinheiro, pois não aceita cartão.
1a vez. Restaurante vietnamita vegano. Pratos realmente muito incríveis e feitos na hora. Atendentes bastante simpáticas. Escolhemos as opções 61 (“Special Big Bowl with Noodle Soup”) e 75 (“Bun Bo Hue”). De entrada pedimos a opção 05 (“summer rolls”), absolutamente incrível. Boa localização, perto do metrô “Poststraße“. O único ponto negativo é que eles não aceitam cartão. Apenas dinheiro.

Quick and delicious

She cooked fresh in the same room. Ot was very quick. The vegetables were fresh. I had the vegan duck, very crispy with a good mouth feel and taste.

Tasty and quick

Had lunch here, spring rolls, M3 and M9 with vegan beef from the lunch menu. Food arrived quickly, portions are generous and it tasted delicious! Not sure if they speak English, so we just read from te menu.

Not more than okay for the price

We came here because of the positive reviews. The selection on the menu is great. The food was okay overall (and unfortunately fell short of expectations) but it took quite a long time. The vegan duck was good, but the sauce of both dishes was very slippery, so the breaded tofu cubes in the other dish softened quickly. The whole thing was then quite mushy, and there was very little seasoning. The toilets didn't really look clean and there were cobwebs in the corners, the soap had also run out. The service wasn't really attentive either and after a long wait we had to take the initiative to pay ourselves.
Maybe just bad luck, but I would not recommend it.

Pros: Quite affordable, Food selection

Cons: Quality of the food, Cleanliness of the sanitary facilities , Service

It’s so sad because this place has the same name. The „well being“ in Brabanther Str is amazing. They used to be one before Covid, but the new owner didn’t change the name. Agree with your review the food there at II is pretty bad

Quiet and tasty

The food is tasty, the menu is quite big. A quiet place, has never many customers.
One can only pay cash.

Well being, etwas zu viel des Guten im Namen

Also eine Wohlfühl Oase ist es nicht. Aber das Essen ist voll vegan, es schmeckt und Bauchweh bekam ich auch nicht. Du kannst da.immer wieder mal hin. Sehr würzig ist das Essen nicht, aber es schmeckt.

Pros: Schneller Service, Auswahl

Cons: Bahnhofshallen Atmosphäre

3,5 Sterne

Bargeldzahlung - also Bargeld einpacken.
Es war gut aber auch nicht herausragend. Aber ich mochte, dass es leer und dadurch ruhig war. Außerdem waren die zwei Personen, die dort gearbeitet haben sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Good food & fast service

Well Being II looks like a shabby snack bar from the outside but like a real restaurant on the inside. I had the bo bia rolls, which tasted good (nothing special, but good, really,) were inexpensive and served fast.

Pros: All vegan with many options, Food tastes good, Fast service

Cons: Looks shabby from the outside

Good vegan offer

The menu is full of a lot of vegan options. Sadly the coconut milk might be not vegan. So be aware of it if you wanna order something including coconut milk.

I chose the noodles with „veggie meat“. It was tasty and everything was alright with the food. Sadly service was a bit off, so it could be you need to go right through them to get attention. Furthermore I am not a fan off cash only restaurants.

For casually picking up food to go it should be a really good spot.

Pros: A lot of vegan options

Cons: Cash only, Coconut Milk not vegan

Spitze

Tolles Restaurant. Alles vegan, die Auswahl ist verlockend. Der Frittierte Seidentofu ist sehr lecker.

Trotz moderat bis viel Betrieb (Lieferbestellungen) habe ich nicht allzu lange gewartet (~25 min?).

Pros: Sehr lecker, Freundliche Leute, Schnell

Cons: Schärfeempfindlichkeit meinerseits 😂

All vegan with plenty of options

To be honest, this food (lunch menu 2) was really bland. But this is partly on me for ordering a bland sounding meal, plus I forgot to specify I wanted the vegan beef instead of tofu. I'll definitely go back and try something else from their menu!

Good to know: the cheaper lunch menu was 2€ more expensive on a Sunday.

I can recommend the „real“ well being - they’re two totally different restaurants but unfortunately have the same name still. It’s in Brabanter str

Achtung - different owner!

Achtung
Das restaurant hat noch den gleichen Namen leider, aber die Besitzerin von Well being hat es abgegeben und das Essen hier ist keineswegs das, was es mal war bzw man erwartet!
Tourist Trap alert
Well being - das Vernünftige- ist in der Barbanter Straße.
Also hier das Essen war furchtbar
Billige Ketchup Soße und ungenießbar
Nicht verwechseln mit Well Being im Friesenviertel! ’

Very good (READ ADDITION!)

As soon as we come back to Cologne, we will definitely go back to this place. The atmosphere is nice. The food is delicious, it is affordable and there is a rich selection of vegan dishes. really recommended.

important addition; there appears to be several branches? On a second visit to Cologne we accidentally ended up at another branch. This was a big disappointment in terms of atmosphere and especially in terms of food! The food here was downright bad. Apparently there is a different owner but the name has been kept or otherwise something has changed.

Die vegane Ente war sehr lecker. Es gibt vegane Milkshakes zum Mitnehmen. Alles ist super frisch und die Bedingung ist sehr freundlich.
Allergene sind gekennzeichnet und auf Wunsch können Gerichte angepasst werden.

Pros: Ausschließlich vegan, Viel Auswahl, Große Portionen

Cons: Nicht ganz so viele Sitzmöglichkeiten

Great vegan duck

Tried the mango salad, vegan-fish spring roll and vegan duck stir fry. Duck in particular was tasty with crispy batter around the outside. Sauce is reminiscent of what you might expect from a good Chinese takeaway. Nice to sit outside, quite small inside.

Good food

Fully vegan asian food.
By now this isn't THAT out of the ordinary anymore, so I need to hold it to higher stabdards.
I therefore award only 4 stars instead of 5 as it is good, but nothing special either.

Staff were very friendly.

In Ordnung aber nicht überragend

Entgegen der anderen Rezensionen wurden unseren Erwartungen eher enttäuscht. Das Essen war in Ordnung, aber die Atmosphäre in dem Restaurant sehr ungemütlich. Ein großer Nachteil ist, dass dort nur bar gezahlt werden kann.

Cons: Nur Barzahlung, Ungemütlich

Plan a lot of time for your visit

Food was really good. Prices low. Sizes enough to fill up.
Waitress wasn’t the best.. in a bad mood, wearing AirPods and it took really long till we got our food. We’ve waited like 45 minutes for our main dish.

Pros: All vegan , Good prices , Good taste and lot of choice

Cons: Took long , Could be cleaner , Not polite

Nur auf einen Snack …

… da wir keinen großen Hunger hatten, aber die Rollen in Reispapier und die Reispfannkucken (Kategorie Vorspeisen) sind sehr schmackhaft.
Kleines Restaurant, aber innen doch sehr schick. Schneller und sehr freundlicher Service.
Lediglich die Getränkepreise sind etwas überzogen.

Pros: Lecker

Cons: Getränke etwas überteuert
