Summary
Yogi in Düsseldorf is a stylish Korean restaurant and bar that has carved out a niche in the Korean and Japanese district around Oststraße, known for its late-night hours and cozy ambiance. Open from 6 PM to 3 AM on weekdays, and until 4 AM on weekends, Yogi offers a diverse menu featuring traditional Korean dishes like Sogogi-Sukju (stir-fried beef) and Yamyem Padack (fried chicken), which are designed to be shared among friends, mirroring South Korean dining culture. The prices for drinks range from €2 to €6, while main dishes cost between €10 and €18. Guests can enjoy complimentary sides, although the absence of kimchi—an essential Korean staple—was noted.

Summary Conclusion
Yogi is a new stylish Korean restaurant that has secured a place in the Korean and Japanese quarter around Oststraße (as of Sep. 2017). Yogi adopts the concept of a bar with the option to order delicious Korean dishes (similar to SauSalitos). The menu features typical Korean dishes that are served with beer and soju. For a cozy evening with friends, beer, soju, and tasty food, Yogi is the ideal place. However, those expecting a purely restaurant experience may not be satisfied here.
Yogi - Bar and Restaurant at the Same Time
Yogi is a Korean bar and a sort of restaurant at the same time, which only opens its doors in the evening hours. In South Korea, such establishments are common because Koreans like to eat delicious food with a glass of beer and friends in the evenings. Typically, dishes are ordered in a group and shared. Such a concept is rather uncommon in Germany but comparable to SauSalitos. Yogi is the perfect location for groups of 2 people or more.
What We Ordered
We ordered 2 dishes together. On one hand, grilled beef (Sogoi-Sukju) and on the other the famous Korean chicken (Yamyem Padack). Additionally, there were three small side dishes that complemented our order for free . Among them was my dearly beloved cucumber salad Oi Muchim.
Taste
In our opinion, the ordered dishes were very delicious. The side dishes were okay and not particularly special. Unfortunately, no kimchi was served, which is not a big deal for Ryu, but I (Matthias) would have liked to have eaten kimchi. I have been to Yogi 2 more times before and have already tried other dishes. So far, all dishes have convincingly impressed us taste-wise .
Value for Money
A dish at Yogi costs between 10 and 18 euros. In terms of price and quality, the dishes (which we tried together and I alone) are very good. I recommend coming here with a larger group to be able to order multiple dishes at once and still stay cheaper. The larger your group is, the cheaper the total sum becomes.
Conclusion
- Especially the chicken was my favorite. With the leek, a real treat
- Unfortunately no kimchi as a side dish
- Very nice service
- Cool atmosphere, I like this bar feeling with delicious food
- I will definitely come back
- Unfortunately, no website yet and especially unknown among non-Koreans
- My favorite was definitely the beef dish
- Relaxed establishment, cool interior for a bar
- It is not a restaurant, more of a bar. Those expecting it to be purely a restaurant will be disappointed
- Very nice service
- I would come again
- Unfortunately, no website yet and especially unknown among non-Koreans
- If you are not familiar with Düsseldorf, hard to find

Ich fand es da meeeega lecker. Keine Ahnung was meine Freundin bestellt hatte, aber alle 4 Gerichte waren super gut.
Leider ist es wirklich super schwer zu finden und ich hab 2 Jahre in Düsseldorf gewohnt XD
Aber sehr empfehlenswert.
Hi Anna-Lena, das Yogi ist wirklich sehr gut und bringt auch das typische koreanische Bar-GEfühl rüber find ich :) Haha, jetzt kennst du es ja und kannst es häufiger besuchen :D LG Matthias
