    This little restaurant which focuses on fish is really popular among locals and travelers alike…read more Came here today at the advice of my airbnb host, who described the restaurant as a typical Hamburg style seafood restaurant. Got there around 7pm on a Monday and it was really packed. I was eating my myself and asked the hostess where to sit- she said I could sit at smallish table with two other German lads. At first, I thought, how can I do that? Wouldn't they mind? But then I had remembered that communal style seating is quite common in Germany, so it was quite alright. It also was quite rainy, but that didn't stop people from coming in and queuing up to eat. My German was quite rusty, so I didn't know what half the things were on the menu (German only). So I opted for the Fischmix which a lot of people seemed to have ordered and enjoyed both on Yelp and TripAdvisor. The Fischmix, which comes with 5 different types of fish including tilapia and salmon, was really good and tasty (also a little salty- as expected as mentioned by previous reviewers), but I enjoyed the flavors and the dipping sauces to add to the fish. The Fischmix comes with a side of sautéed vegetables, which I ate with each bite of fish with some of the dipping sauce. Also, each fish entree comes with a salad, bread that's topped with pesto, and potatoes (which I chose the "chips" option). Definitely a hearty meal and well worth the €11.90 for my Fischmix entree. I'd definitely want to come back here again sometime on another trip to Hamburg and try all the other fish dishes. Hopefully next time I'll have more time and pop by Karofisch again soon!

The vegetables are dripping in fat and the fish soup is 1/5 oil 2) the fish soup was disappointing but the fish was fresh 3) the portion sizes are smaller than expected. How is it compared to schabi? 1) Better in atmosphere and choices and their fish and chips and sauces + free bread 2) Worse in how it's grilled, freshness and too oily However both schabi and Karo are cheaper but both didn't convinced me in their taste and made of of their fish m chips.

The patio outside was gorgeous and so relaxing in this chaotic city. For starters, they gave us a bread basket which was really delicious. All the condiments that came with it were good as well. Personally loved the kelp butter the most and wasn't a fan of the wine sauce with the dill. But my friend preferred this one so to each their own. They also gave us goat cheese coated in nuts as a starter as well. This was fresh and was a nice summer starter. We got the Hugo spritz and the Tempranillo red wine. The wine was good and went well with the food. For our mains we got the champagne risotto with the asparagus and the lamb filet with short rib and asparagus. These were the specials for the night. Both were cooked well but the short rib was too salty for me. Also the risotto was clumped in some parts which was disappointing. For dessert we had the licorice dessert with blueberry. I'm not a licorice fan but decided to give it a chance. Luckily the flavor wasn't strong but it was there. Not my favorite but the blueberry parts were tasty. The service was a stand out and the people were so nice. The English was also very good and we had no problems communicating. Especially was grateful when I accidentally made a reservation for the next night and they were able to seat us the night we went no problem. Would recommend this place for the ambiance most definitely and the food was pretty good as well.

    Great friendly, lively atmosphere, staff was nice, efficient and professional…read more That being said, food and wines were quite decent, certainly no complaints, but given reputation and prices I had expected food quality and level of flavors to be one notch more exquisite, tbh.
