About Moriki
The Duc Ngo opened Moriki inside Baden-Baden's Roomers hotel as a transplant of his Frankfurt original, and it broke the spa town's German-French dining habit on day one. Ngo is one of Berlin's busiest restaurateurs — Kuchi, Cocolo, 893 Ryōtei and a dozen rooms behind him — and Moriki is his crossover idea: a pan-Asian kitchen and a sushi counter under a Stefan Strumbel mural, a short walk from the Festspielhaus concert hall. It is the most modern table in a town built on the Belle Époque.
The Kitchen
The Duc Ngo cooks Asia as a whole rather than a single country, and Moriki is the clearest version of that idea: maki and sashimi from the sushi counter alongside Thai, Chinese and Japanese plates from the kitchen. The signatures travel well across that range — miso-glazed black cod, beef tenderloin in a teriyaki-sesame glaze, and creatively built rolls that lean on the same precision Ngo's Berlin rooms are known for. Regional German produce gets folded in where it fits, which is the Roomers house style.
Prices sit where a serious hotel room should: small plates from around €8, mains up to roughly €40 for a US striploin, and most diners spend €40 to €50 a head before drinks. A weekend brunch buffet runs €79. Moriki is listed in the Michelin Guide for Baden-Baden, which in a town this small is its own signal.

The Room
Moriki is the most design-led room in Baden-Baden: a Stefan Strumbel mural over the counter, low lighting, and the dark, on-trend palette the Roomers group builds everywhere. Sound sits at a lively hum rather than a roar, and the young front-of-house keeps the mood laid-back rather than stiff. Tables are generously spaced for a hotel room, and the sushi counter is the seat to take if you want to watch the knives. Dress is smart-casual; nobody will turn you away in good jeans. The room seats around eighty.
Best for Impressing Clients
Book Moriki to impress a client because it is the room in Baden-Baden that does not look like everywhere else in Baden-Baden: a name-brand chef in The Duc Ngo, a confident design, and a menu broad enough that a table of differing tastes all eats well. The sushi counter gives a host something to point at, the wine and sake lists reward an order, and the Festspielhaus is a short walk for the second act of the evening. Reserve the counter and let the kitchen carry the conversation.
Not for
Not for a purist after a single-country tasting menu — this is a broad pan-Asian crossover and a hotel room, not a dedicated omakase or a quiet fine-dining temple.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Moriki Baden-Baden worth it?
Yes, if you want the town's most modern, design-forward dinner rather than another classical German-French room. The Duc Ngo's pan-Asian crossover is confident and broad, the sushi is well made, and the Strumbel-muralled space is genuinely good-looking. Most diners spend €40 to €50 a head. Come for the variety and the room; come expecting a single-region purist's tasting menu and you will want somewhere narrower.
How hard is it to book Moriki?
Not hard, but worth doing. As the Roomers hotel restaurant in a busy spa town, Moriki fills on Festspielhaus concert nights and summer weekends, so book a few days ahead for those and ask for the sushi counter if you want the show. Walk-ins can usually find a seat midweek. Reservations run through the hotel and OpenTable.
What is the dress code at Moriki?
Smart-casual. This is a fashionable hotel room rather than a jacket-and-tie dining room, so good jeans and a shirt fit right in, and the crowd skews younger and more dressed-down than Baden-Baden's grand restaurants. Lean a touch sharper on a concert night, when the Festspielhaus crowd passes through before and after performances.
What should I order at Moriki?
Order the miso black cod and the beef tenderloin in teriyaki-sesame, the two dishes the kitchen is known for, and build a few rounds of sushi from the counter to share. Ask the team for the day's best fish. The sake list is short but chosen to follow the food, and the cocktails are stronger than a hotel bar's usual.
Diner Reviews
Stefan H.March 2026
Occasion: Impress Clients
Hosted two clients before a Festspielhaus concert and Moriki was the right call. The room looks fantastic, the sushi counter gave us something to watch, and the black cod landed for everyone. Walked over to the concert in five minutes.
Aniko P.October 2025
Occasion: First Date
Took a date to the counter and it was the most fun dinner I have had in Baden-Baden. Loved the mural, loved the variety, and the team made easy recommendations. A nice change from the town's heavier classic rooms.
Book through the Roomers hotel or OpenTable. Festspielhaus concert nights and summer weekends go first; ask for the sushi counter.
