Taku is an asian restaurant in Cologne, Germany, and the useful context is what kind of evening it seems built to deliver. The draw is the kitchen's clarity, hospitality and consistency; at a comparatively accessible price point, it should be judged as a smart choice when you want something considered without turning the night into a major splurge. Its one-star standing makes it a serious address: polished enough to plan around, but still best judged by whether the kitchen's point of view matches your tastes.
