Koco Bistro in Wijk 00: Valkenburg

We left with a hangover. The food was good, but we had made a reservation for happy hour and because we ordered just before 5pm we still had to pay the full price. We felt cheated.

Happy hoor from 17 to 18h, table reserved at 17h we were there a bit earlier and ordered a few minutes before 17h. We still had to pay the full price, while we got everything served after 17h. We feel cheated, no advertising for this business.

Hospitable welcome. Food well seasoned. The portions can be called generous. Price/quality completely fine. In short; worth repeating!

Good food but not that wow (of what we ordered) there is a lot of variety/special things on the menu that I have not come across yet. The service was very friendly and the place is cozy

Weekend Valkenburg! We saw at Koco Bistro Asian streetfood like soto mie ayam, cendol etc, but also beef rendang and satay! In the end my wife took a small soto mie ayam and I took a large, because I love Soto Ayam and also 2 Chang beers and 1 cendol. Cendol was decorated with a lemon slice? and an orange fruit?. Lemon slice put away and taste of cendol was not bad. Soto mie ayam did not taste like soto ayam, looked more like soto Betawi with pieces of tomato, noodles, lettuce, 3 or 4 bean sprouts, red onion rings, chicken and a boiled egg. It did not only taste like turmeric (yellow carrot), but also like some dominant herb (Indian). Instead of red onion rings (has a strong dominant taste) there should be fried onions! Bean sprouts can be counted (3 or four), thin noodles are not soehoen (a type of rice noodle), separately on a wooden tray coriander leaves, slices of red peppers and ketjap? Soto ayam should have celery and leek, but no coriander leaves (smelly and strong tasting)! All in all, I'm glad I only ordered this one and didn't order satay and beef rendang! If you sell Asian street food such as Vietnamese, Indonesian soups, etc., try to get as close to the taste as possible and use as many original ingredients as possible, but not coriander leaves instead of celery, which tastes completely different! Red onion rings taste very different from fried onions! In the meantime, I also indicated to the service staff about the taste and composition of cendol and soto mie ayam, because I, born in Indonesia, was used to something different!

Mijn vriend en ik houden enorm van Aziatisch eten, en hadden ons dan ook erg verheugd op het eten bij Koco Bistro. Ik denk dat de naam het al zegt, maar gezien het een bistro is en er ook gerechten als spareribs, hamburgers en hachee op de kaart staan (het laatste onder de noemer rendang, maar het was alles behalve rendang), moet je niet verwachten dat je hier authentiek Vietnamees/indisch/thais eten geserveerd krijgt. Er staat overal op de kaart authentiek maar dat was het oprecht niet. We hebben samen drie weken door Indonesië gereisd en ik denk als je het daar zou serveren, de locals je uitlachen. De “saté Ayam” waren gewoon kipstokjes met normale satesaus erover. Zeker geen Indische satesaus. De garnalen in mijn “pad Thai” (wat letterlijk rijstnoedels waren met ketjap manis erover en een paar stukjes tofu) waren volgens mij ook niet goed. Ze smaakten enorm vissig, en alles behalve vers. Ik heb ze dan ook laten liggen. Toch zonde want je moest er wel 7 euro extra voor betalen voor drie garnalen. Al met al een dikke domper, en veel te veel geld voor moeten betalen. Ik zou dit absoluut niet adviseren en snap niet dat deze tent zo hoog kan scoren op Tripadvisor.

Dit restaurant verdient het niet om Op de eerste plek te staan van Valkenburg. Dit is het schoolvoorbeeld van Indonesisch eten op z’n Nederlands. Ik at als voorgerecht de saté Ajman. Lees een kip state. Prima maar dat leek echt niet op een saté ajam. Ook had ik de prawn tempura.. lees een gefrituurde garnaal met chili saus. Als hoofdgerecht had ik de beef rendang. Dit smaakte letterlijk naar gesudderde runnederstoof van mijn oma. Echt hilarisch dat ze dit rendang durven te noemen. Tip > Met een bakje sambal kreeg ik het nog wel weg. Door de naam van het restaurant komen ze er mee weg. Maar mocht je echt lekker Indonesisch willen eten en de authentieke keuken willen ervaren. Ga hier dan niet naar toe!

Koco heeft de vele positieve reviews waargemaakt. Smakelijke en smaakvol opgediende gerechten. Ook door de Engelssprekende bediening voelde je je zowaar een beetje in Azië. Het dessertgebak was niet bijzonder, maar dat moet je eigenlijk ook niet bestellen in een Asian streetfood zaak. Goede decafé. De rekening viel mee. Parkeren kan op het Walramplein (gratis vanaf 20 uur).

Geweldig avondje gehad bij KOCO BISTRO, fantastisch eten vriendelijk bediening en zo lekker gegeten! Een echte aanrader. Dank jullie wel voor een geweldige dinner voor mijn en ons vrienden.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious food and good service.

Was delicious, wide choice, good, fast service

Food is tasty, find the portions on the small side compared to the price.

Delicious food! Super nice people, from the staff to the owner.. Really great 👌

De vegetarische rijsttafel was verrukkelijk! De hoeveelheid was heel goed, geen overdaad. Goede prijs-kwaliteit en heel attent personeel.

Very tasty food and excellent service. We had not made a reservation, but despite the crowds, a spot was found for us! Food bid very friendly and service very fast. The food was delicious, and although it was a lot, we did our best to scrape the shared Meat platter clean!

Delicious food, you have a wide choice of different Asian cuisines and you can taste that everything is freshly prepared. Very nice service and a great atmosphere! We will definitely come back when we are in Valkenburg again :-)

We were able to reserve a few hours in advance for 2 people, which was very nice. We had spring rolls and naan bread beforehand, which were delicious. Then the beef rendang, curry and dumplings, nasi rice table with satay for two people. Delicious flavors and excellent food. In the beginning we sat very close to the kitchen/bar at a table that had been hidden away, but that was then neatly resolved by the staff.

What a shame about the service! Disappointing. Food, atmosphere looks tasty and fun, service is not trained and grumpy. I waited 45 minutes for the food and when my first drink is finished, I really want a second one on a hot day. We really cherished calling them to serve us. Shame!

Loved the bento box to try everything.

You can always wake me up 4 some Indo food. And i definitely didn't get disappointed at all . For a drink took a #Cendol and for a #Starter some great #SateKambing. As a main a lot to choose indonesian vietnames and thaifood but at the end went for some #indonesian #rendang it was amazing Service was also good I kindah like it definitely go back again in the few days I'm over here ☺️

We had a delicious meal here during our stay in Valkenburg! The single rice tables are highly recommended. The service is very friendly and enthusiastic.

Very nice restaurant. Delicious homemade sambal and fantastic service!

Claudia, awesome lady who works there made it a very nice experience. Great sense of humour. Also she helps the staff to learn in a good way. Her customer contact is what really upped the experience. Thanks Claudia Had the Bento Box, the street food platter and a clam and fig and clam salad. All really good food. Just the fig and clam salad was not worth it. Recommend.

Claudia was an amazing and welcoming waitress. She made the interaction fun and was ready to help us through the exotic menus with great recommendations!

De rijsttafels zijn erg lekker. Alle gerechten zijn uniek en speciaal gekruid. De bediening is ook heel goed. De adviezen van de kok zijn perfect, bijvoorbeeld de Pisang Bakar. Hier kun je echt lekker eten!

Friendly service and a nice tent, but the food was not good. Passion and real flavors are missing here, meat preparation can also be much better! Not recommended for us

Bij binnenkomst wordt je vriendelijk ontvangen en ligt er al een schaaltje kroepoek met sambal klaar. Wij hadden vervolgens een kan sangria met ons 2 gedeeld en heerlijk rijstmenu gegeten. Wij komen zeker terug

Very often, restaurants that bring together several Asian cuisines become a kind of fusion stew. This restaurant manages to serve authentic flavors, be it Thai, Indonesian or Indian. Almost everything is homemade, with the right fresh ingredients. And you can taste that as soon as you enter, when you get prawn crackers with the homemade sambal - there's a lot of love in it. You can also buy such a jar with lots of love and take it home with you.

Heel vaak worden restaurants waarin meerdere Aziatische keukens samenkomen een soort fusion stamppot. Dit restaurant slaagt erin om authentieke smaken te serveren, of het nu Thais, Indonesisch of Indiaas is. Bijna alles wordt zelfgemaakt, met de juiste verse ingrediënten. En dat proef je al bij binnenkomst, als je kroepoek met de eigengemaakte sambal krijgt - daar zit veel liefde in. Zo’n potje met veel liefde kan je ook kopen en mee naar huis nemen.

Tasty food and good portions. The service was excellent!

No wonder that this has the Trip Advisor rating that it has, my wife and I have just eaten here and it was definitely the best meal that we have had in our week in Valkenburg. Service was excellent and food first class. Keep up the good work.

Heerlijk vers en lekker eten! Komen hoe iedere keer als we een mini vakantie hebben Eigenaar en zijn vrouw altijd super vriendelijk

Before the "renovation" (no idea what has been renovated), we had an excellent meal with 4 people from delicious recipes. Today the starters were again surprising, but the main course was very disappointing. Ordered a dish with salmon that I think came straight from the Aldi freezer section. Watery mess. Unfortunately this was the last time. It would be nice to be able to pay €100.

Just had a delicious meal here, spontaneous idea. Friendly service, the food was delicious and delicious to eat with your hands. Nice layout and a nice warm terrace. Immediately bring 2 jars of homemade sambal. The only thing that could possibly change is a little more spicy. (My tastes.). Top tent

A nice spot in the heart of Valkenburg. We received a friendly welcome and were helped promptly. The croquettes & fried avocado in the starter were very tasty and highly recommended, I thought the fried scampi and chicken drumsticks were more filling but certainly not bad either. When our starter was finished, we were asked if we could switch immediately to the main course or if we would rather wait a while. I thought it was great that this was asked! We decided to give up our starter for a while and after a good 10-15 minutes our main courses arrived, which we thought was perfect timing. Our main courses were certainly good. No more and no less. Well-prepared portions & good use of seasoning. We decided to end this pleasant evening after the main course. Prices were good and so were the food and drinks. Very friendly and correct staff.

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing meal here. The food was incredible and authentic. I did not expect to find amazing Thai/Indonesian fusion in Valkanburg Netherlands but we did. The chicken satay is incredible, the short ribs are awesome, the tandoori chicken wings are delicious. Everything was homemade. The owner was cooking, and waiting tables and spent some time speaking with us about his restaurant background and his passion for cooking. As the night went on he turned on karaoke and the remaining dinner guests turned into an after hours karaoke party. Absolutely incredible experience. I sincerely hope I can come back here someday.

Passed by here several times. Koco Bistro in Valkenburg. Our favorite Indonesian restaurant. Here they know exactly how it should be done. It starts upon arrival. In one word: great! Super friendly team working here. The food was also perfect, from the starter I really enjoyed what was served here. Food was neatly served and very tasty, which is unfortunately not the case everywhere these days. The soto ayam, the satay, cashew chicken, cendol, everything was delicious. We are already looking forward to the next visit. 👍🏻

The food was good. It was fresh to ready. The price level was clearly too high, but this is evident at all locations in Valkenburg.

Al diverse keren hier voorbij gekomen. Koco Bistro in Valkenburg. Voor ons het favoriete Indonesisch restaurant. Hier weten ze precies hoe het hoort. Het begint al bij binnenkomst. In één woord: super ! Supervriendelijk team wat hier aan het werk is. Ook het eten was perfect, vanaf het voorgerecht enorm genoten van wat er hier geserveerd werd. Eten werd netjes opgediend en was erg smaakvol, wat tegenwoordig helaas ook niet overal het geval is. De soto ayam, de saté, kip cashew, gado gado, cendol, alles maar dan ook echt alles klopte. We verheugen ons nu al op het volgende bezoekje. 👍🏻

Delicious food here. Everything tasted good and the portions were more than enough. The service is also very friendly. I will definitely eat here more often!

Chose this restaurant based on google reviews when on the road passing through and it didn’t disappoint. Food was good and service was very friendly. The only complaint I have is that every time the doors opens, and that’s very frequently, an ice cold wind blows through the restaurant. I understand, it’s January 18, it’s cold, but at least hang something like a thick curtain ! Thanks

What a wonderful experience at Koco Bistro! From the moment we walked in we felt more than welcome. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you really feel at home. And then the food... wow! Every dish was a taste sensation, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. It is clear that cooking here is done with passion and love. From starter to dessert, everything was delicious. We will definitely come back here again. Koco Bistro is definitely recommended for anyone who enjoys delicious food and a nice, hospitable atmosphere. 5 stars more than deserved!

Wat een geweldige ervaring bij Koco Bistro! Vanaf het moment dat we binnenkwamen, voelden we ons meer dan welkom. Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk en attent, waardoor je je echt thuis voelt. En dan het eten... wow! Elk gerecht was een smaaksensatie, perfect bereid en prachtig gepresenteerd. Het is duidelijk dat hier met passie en liefde wordt gekookt. Van voorgerecht tot dessert, alles was om van te genieten. We komen hier zeker nog een keer terug. Koco Bistro is absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die houdt van heerlijk eten en een fijne, gastvrije sfeer. 5 sterren meer dan verdiend!

Wij waren gisteravond voor de eerste keer hier gaan eten en werden bij binnenkomst door de eigenaar heel hartelijk en warm welkom geheten. De gasten krijgen van de eigenaar de nodige aandacht en de bediening is perfect. En de kwaliteit en verscheidenheid aan gerechten was boven verwachting!!! Alles smaakte echt naar meer, maar de porties zijn te groot!!

Amazing experience! What a nice pleasure to know we were their first customers of the year. They were so nice to us. Food was amazing! It is lot of food! We ordered the street food starter and as a main dish the sea food share plate and as a dessert what the chef suggested 😉 I definitely recommend this restaurant! We were so happy there

What a nice restaurant! Great food, super nice and efficient service. We enjoyed it! Ps. We had the mixed fish dish for 2 people and it was delicious!

Very tasty, extremely friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Top!

What a nice place and very attentive service. Without exception everything was delicious, don't hesitate, just go!

Een zeer vriendelijk ontvangst. Goede en snelle bediening We hebben heerlijk gegeten. We zaten op het terras met koud weer, maar hadden we dekentjes om ons warm te houden. Het was de moeite waard.

Very tasty food here, fantastic Asian food. The atmosphere is very cozy, the staff immediately recognized us the second time we were there, even though it was during the very busy Christmas season. Take the sharing platters so you can taste as many tasty snacks as possible! The delicious, spicy, homemade iced tea is highly recommended!

It was very tasty beyond expectations. Smooth, good and friendly service. Very tasty food. Definitely recommended. We will definitely come back!

Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Zeer lekkere sharing menu gegeten met verrassende smaken Topkwaliteit. Bedankt

Absolutely great and delicious Food, Service was also great, we were here with 4 Persons on 26th of December without reservation! It was great !

A Delightful Dining Experience I recently had the pleasure of dining at Koco Bistro, and it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by the incredibly friendly staff. Their genuine smiles and attentive service made me feel right at home. The atmosphere was great and it is inviting, with cozy seating arrangements that make you feel comfortable. You can truly unwind and enjoy your meal. Talking about the food—it was a delightful surprise! Packed with flavour and decent portion. In summary, it is a must-visit for anyone looking for great Asian food, a charming atmosphere, and outstanding service.

Went here after visiting Christmas cave market. It was great expérience, big portion of food and tasty. The waiters are also very friendly.

The food and service are great here. We have already eaten Asian in many places, but this one definitely makes it into our top 3!! Highly recommended if you are in Valkenburg.

Don't complain, everything was very good!

Very tasty authentic Asian street food. Super nice, attentive staff.

I had dinner here last Sunday. My experience is that the staff is super friendly and helpful. We didn't have much time because we had to catch the train. The staff then came up with the idea that we could get the meal straight away in a take-away container. The food tasted delicious. The atmosphere was also good. We definitely plan to come back and eat here again.

We were pleasantly surprised to be able to sit down (9 of us) just to have a drink at 4:30 p.m. Indeed, the French that we are are not in the habit of eating so early in the evening... A word of advice: please take care when preparing an Irish Cofee to respect the separation of liquids. A second tip: please serve it with a straw!

very nice restaurant and really tasty food ❤️❤️❤️ I highly recommend cashew chicken 😋😋 outdoor sitting is very good 😊 with nice and friendly staff 👍

Delicious food at this location.

Reallyyyyyy nice people. We had trouble finding a restaurant because i was in a wheelchair chair. But they welcomed us . The food was delicious. I recommend plate for 2 to share, meat and fish. We re good eater and everything was good and in good quantity. The waitress and the waiter were also very kind. Thanks a lot from belgium

If you visit Valkenburg then you simply MUST go here. In a mega touristic place you will not find such good food and such nice staff anywhere as here. We really enjoyed the cocktails (take the Muay Thai) and the food. Staff so super sweet. We'll go back again tomorrow. Big 10!

Amazing ristafil with a large portion. Owner is very friendly. Cold evening but we sat outside under a heat lamp. Fantastic all around.

Delicious pad Thai and cheerful and fast service.

If you are passing through Valkenburg, you cannot avoid visiting Koci Bistro. Superb quality cuisine, boss in the dining room, impeccable and super friendly service. Not to be missed.

Afgelopen vrijdag, 22 nov. met tien personen hier gegeten. Zeker geen onbekenden met de Aziatische keuken. En wat hebben we genoten. Heel vriendelijke attente bediening, rekening houdend met de individuele wensen, goed hoor. En dan het eten, heerlijk, zeer smaakvol. We hadden vijf verschillende bentoboxen, dus dat was ook onderling ruilen. Alles was even heerlijk. En iedereen heeft ook zeker genoeg gegeten. En voor zeer concurrente prijzen. De andere personen hebben mij zonder uitzondering meermaals aangegeven dat dit restaurant door hen enorm werd gewaardeerd, sfeer, bediening en zeker het eten. Dit is echt een enorme aanrader voor iedereen die van Aziatisch eten houdt. Ik kom hier zeker nog vaker terug. Voor de sfeer, de bediening en het heerlijke eten.

Smaakvol eten, warme bediening, gezellig binnen en buiten, goede prijs. Hou je van Aziatisch eten of meer indisch, zeker hierheen gaan.

Delicious food, a place you might quickly pass by. But it is definitely worth eating. Delicious and tasty dishes. Great 👍🏻

Great atmosphere, location and friendly staff. Food was a bit overpriced for the quality.

Een waar genoegen om hier te mogen zijn en beleven. Niets is teveel! De gastvrijheid én de porties zijn hier zéér groot. Een uitstekende mix van Thaise, Chinese en Indonesische keuken. Een plaats om terug te komen!

Echt overheerlijk gegeten met fantastisch vriendelijke bediening. Overheerlijk restaurant als je net wat anders wil dan een bistro.

Delicious food and the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately the wait was really long. We came in at 6:30 PM and walked out at 9:15 PM after ordering a main course and dessert. There was so much time between courses that we really became impatient, which cost us a lot. Taking the order (drinks too) also took a really long time. Too bad, but the food is definitely recommended.

Such a nice, warm atmosphere! We went there by recommendation and we left smiling☺️ The waiting staff were super kind and friendly. Food was delicious. We first had a street food bites sharing plate (which had all different kinds of street food in biting size) YUM! (unfortunately i forgot to take pictures because we were hungry) Then we had soups: Soto Ayam and Laksa (Laksa soup is really delicious but too spicy for me) and for desert we had crème brûlée with coconut ice cream. Everything was perfection. Would definitely want to come back again! Recommend 🫶🏼

Wat een super gezellig en lekker restaurant. En wat een lieve mensen hier, echt een geweldige culinaire ervaring, alle lof en we komen zeker terug!

We ate here twice during our long weekend in Valkenburg. Once in the restaurant and once picked up. Both times were great again. Delicious food, friendly service and the enthusiasm of the owner means that we will definitely come back here again!!

Staff was really friendly. Nice atmosphere. Food was really good, were able to accommodate requests made as well which was lovely. One small point of critique is staff not asking if you want anything else to drink when glasses are empty. Will definitely come back.

Pleasant terrace, slightly less so inside. Service itself is friendly but not really smooth. Homemade ice tea was delicious, but the glass was completely cracked and some shards on the edge, it was immediately replaced when returned but could have been avoided. The food was mediocre, some dishes very tasty, others not at all... On the fish dish, the scampi were just cold, raw and tasteless, just like the salmon and mussels. The hot dishes slightly better. Expected more based on the reviews.

recommend the street food bites (starter) and they make a great Muay thai (cocktail)

This was the worst rendang I ever had (I eat Rendang a lot because it is one of my favorite dishes I had in Indonesia many times and homemade). The meat was like gum it had no taste. The amount of money they ask for this kind of food is unbelievable. Not a restaurant I recommend.

Delicious authentic food. Enjoyed a nice meal on the terrace. Top service.

Nice and special, something different. Top

Delicious food, fantastic service.

Delicious food and super nice service. I already knew it with the prawn crackers and homemade sambal. This will be delicious food. Brought 2 jars of sambal for home. We will definitely come back here when we are in the area again

Een avondje uiteten met familie. Wat een aangename ervaring. Het eten was gewoon geweldig, we hadden alle vier iets anders van het menu gekozen maar het was WOW. Het personeel was vriendelijk en professioneel we voelden ons erg welkom.

What a very nice thing! Never before have we had such delicious food as here. The service is fantastic! In short, highly recommended, don't hesitate, just do it. We had the Bento surprise box. A real pleasure

Really worth it. Good and tasty food, good atmosphere and super friendly staff.

A very good eatery where you can get really tasty Asian street food. Super service and real value for money. The dishes are fresh, very tasty and are prepared in the open kitchen. Highly recommended if you like Asian cuisine. Even if you don't like things because they also take into account your dietary requirements and things you don't like

Heerlijk eten erg lekker en uitgebreid behulpzame en vriendelijke bediening sfeer vol interieur eten en drinken was meer dan voldoende voor de prijs hoef je het niet te laten

Staff is great. Food is delicious. Price is fine.

Delicious food. That 1 person rice table rendang is so delicious! Good service. Recommended!

Great atmosphere and a delicious rice table! Super friendly, hardworking owners. Recommended👍🏻

Als liefhebber van de Indonesische keuken moet je hier natuurlijk ook eens geweest zijn. Het was geweldig lekker en er was vriendelijke attente bediening (waar zie je dat nog?) We kozen voor de Soto Ajam,Saté Babi en Gado gado. De soto was supergoed gevuld en gewoon perfect, net als de rest overigens. Ook de homemade ice tea en de Tjendol konden ons niet teleurstellen. Al met al, gaan we hier weer snel terug komen, om weer andere gerechten van de kaart te proberen.

Great for lunch. Quality food. Nice ambience. Do make reservation because it will be crowde. Nice professional staff. I really enjoyed the food, so did my wife. Please try when you're in Valkenburg!

Wij hebben hier heerlijk gegeten . De alcoholvrije cocktail was heerlijk. De gerechten van de bentobox waren heerlijk, de vis was mijn favoriet. Heel bijzonder was de crème brulee van sinaasappel, en van de bolletjes ijs was ook een smaakvol dessert gemaakt. En dan maakte de aardige bediening ons etentje compleet.

the price is too high for such dishes, 11.50 for a non-alcoholic cocktail that tastes like sprite with ice and is decorated with mint, considering that the composition should have included banana liqueur, which neither I nor my friend tried, because it simply was not there and it was quite bad, the serving of the soup was bad, almost everything was mixed and also it was spilled a little before serving, considering the price of 17.50 it was terrible, it also did not taste very good, and the noodles were similar to instant store noodles, the most delicious thing was the snacks in the form of chips, but even the sauce for them was extremely an acquired taste, I highly do not recommend

We went here for dinner on the recommendation of friends We arrived almost an hour earlier than agreed, but that was no problem and the table was free In consultation with the hostess we selected the dishes, which were all very tasty All this in a cozy restaurant We will definitely come back here

Pretty little shop, very friendly service, unusual cocktails and delicious food.

Delicious food and the drink cendol was also tasty and in a large glass and the own sambal..delicious. Top . Be sure to come back from Kerkrade.
