About Da Mai
Counter-service Asian spot on Andreaskloster 14 with no-reservation walk-in access and split lunch-dinner hours. Better for weekday lunch than evening dining—early closures and make it a practical fallback rather than a planned destination in Cologne's old town.
Da Mai is a Cologne venue with verified opening hours across six days: Monday to Friday from 11:30 AM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 8 PM, Saturday from 11:30 AM to 8 PM, Sunday closed. The verified dress code is casual. Beyond those basics, there is no verified public detail here for cuisine type, price range, booking method, menu format, signature dishes, chef name, seating layout, or awards, so plan around the confirmed schedule rather than assumptions.
Counter Seating and Format
Da Mai’s verified information does not confirm a counter-focused format, seating style, or service model. What is confirmed is its Cologne location, casual dress code, operating schedule: weekday midday and early-evening hours, continuous Saturday service, Sunday closure. If you are comparing options, taku, Poké Makai, Hanse Stube are other named venues to research separately; Da Mai’s own page should be used mainly for its confirmed hours.
What to Expect and When to Go
Because verified details do not include a menu, cuisine, reservation policy, seating capacity, take-out or delivery options, dietary accommodations, or signature dishes, the most reliable planning advice is to check Da Mai directly before visiting if any of those details matter. Based on verified hours, Monday through Friday visits fit either the 11:30 AM to 3 PM window or the 5 PM to 8 PM window, while Saturday runs from 11:30 AM to 8 PM. The venue is closed Sunday. For broader planning, see our full Cologne restaurants guide, or compare Da Mai with other options such as Kuchi Mami using each venue’s own confirmed details.

At an undisclosed price point, Da Mai occupies the lower-effort tier of Cologne's Asian dining scene, no awards, no booking system, a format built for speed rather than occasion. Taku charges €€€€ and delivers the kind of technical precision that justifies advance planning; Da Mai offers convenience. Hanse Stube sits at €€€ with classic European technique and a dining room suited to business meals or anniversary dinners; Da Mai's counter seating and 8 PM close make it incompatible with late evenings. For travelers deciding between quick-service options, Poké Makai provides a similar walk-in model with more transparent menu details, while Kuchi Mami adds documented booking channels and later hours.
Choose Da Mai if you are already in the Altstadt at lunchtime, need food in under 30 minutes, do not require documented dish descriptions or advance certainty about pricing. Choose taku if you want a chef-driven Asian tasting menu and are willing to book three weeks out. Choose Hanse Stube for a formal occasion with European classics, or Kuchi Mami for predictable group seating and transparent reservations. Da Mai fills the gap when spontaneity matters more than depth, but it is not a meal you will plan a trip around.
