Chi Sushi in Krefeld-Uerdingen: Pan-Asian Flavours Near the Rhine

A family foundation in Uerdingen

Chi Sushi in Krefeld-Uerdingen serves carefully crafted Japanese and Thai dishes along a quiet street just steps from the Rhine. The kitchen relies on experienced cooks and sushi masters who arrived from Vietnam and Japan to shape the daily menu. This steady dedication earned the spot a Schlemmer Atlas recognition for its extensive Thai and Japanese kitchen that reaches from simple staples to complex desserts. Fresh ingredients move through the kitchen without unnecessary complexity, letting the quality of each component guide the final plate.

Crafted rolls and warm plates

The menu spans hundreds of items, starting with classic preparations like the cucumber Kappa Maki and grilled kabayaki unagi served on nigiri. Guests frequently order the spicy salmon inside-out roll, which layers marinated fish with avocado and sesame seeds alongside crisp vegetables. The warm kitchen balances these cold selections with dishes such as red Thai curry simmered with chicken breast and basil, or lemon tofu cooked with fresh lemongrass. Even the sweet finish arrives through creative baked variations that extend the tasting experience well past the main course.

A straightforward dining space

The interior keeps things simple, leaving the visual focus entirely on the food arriving at the table. Tables are arranged to allow quick movement between the counter and the kitchen, which supports the consistently fast service noted by regular visitors. The owners and staff greet guests directly, often adjusting recipes to match specific dietary requests like sesame-free preparations. Large windows look out toward the river district, making the room feel grounded in the local neighborhood rather than disconnected from it.
