    I'm not naive to expect good Asian food in the big Chinese restaurant, located in typical German…read morecountry house with reed roof (although I think the house is beautiful!). But when I saw in my dish cooked chicken filet, chopped in a perfect thin rectangles, I immedietely thought of my Soviet childhood. And even cobination of white asparagus (I expected green), champignons and onion sounded interesting, all they did is just added some more starchy soya sauce. They obviously never heard of creativity. Good things about this place are definely low price, quick and customer oriented service, friendliness and belive it or not I liked the interior! Although all previous rewievs in German classify it as kitsch (and it probably is), I find it refreshingly nice and unusuall. With ubiquitos clear lines, style and simplicity this was a nice change.

    So Canton has been around for at least 30 years (at least that was my last childhood visit to this…read morebeautiful reed-thatched house with a view of the local Mercedes dealership at loud Osdorfer Landstrasse). As far as Germany is concerned, that age makes it something like a first-generation Chinese restaurant. And as you'd expect from those times, the interior overdoes it a little on the kitschy fantasy wooden temple interior ... not a problem, but a little fishmoth crawling the table underscored the somewhat dated vibes of the place. The food could have been taken straight out of a local supermarket's convenience food bins, and not even the Asian ones at that: A huge spring "roll" tasted almost exactly like the deep-frozen Iglo version, previously frozen, deep-fried and dripping with fat. The duck was too salty and deep-fried, too. Its dull "Canton"-style sauce tasted exactly like regular brown Maggi condiment... Let's call the rice and Tsingtao beer authentic. The restaurant was filled almost entirely with elderly German pensioners who have seemingly bought into the idea that eating deep fried meat in Maggi sauce qualifies as exotic dining, as long as it comes with rice and they have Panda bears on the wall.

    So this is the third of the 'Ni Hao' restaurants in Hamburg: large, modern, and catering to the…read moreaffluent Chinese community. We were recommended this place for supposedly the best food of the three. A modern, large place, though surprisingly empty for a Saturday evening. There are separate rooms for functions and private groups. Service was friendly, when available, but very unattentive; hard to get their attention despite only a few tables being occupied at all, and spilled sauces etc. were not cleaned between courses. Prices are high, but so are portion sizes: if you want a varied sampling of their cooking, either go for a set menu (unfortunately minimum 2 people) or come with a large group so you can assemble enough dishes: It is Chinese cooking, so if you order a starter of cold pork belly, it will be just that, slices of cold pork belly. so an "OK" rating, with some cave-ats - I did prefer the sister original restaurant Ni Hao in Wandsbek.

    We went with a group of friends to this new Chinese restaurant which just opened one week ago. The…read moreinterior is super nice and huge with wonderful red hanging lamps which look like flowers. Unfortunately, they don't speak English and most of us couldn't speak German (but it's on us!). The food is tasty and the dishes are well presented. A lot of flavors. It is quite expensive but the food proportions are big. I'd recommend that they let some rice on the table so we can serve ourselves when we need instead of getting up and asking them several times. They misunderstood some of our orders and the main dishes took more than an hour to arrive, but I think that it's perhaps because they're new to the business. We'll come back in few months to compare.
