Our group of four went in just hoping for a change of pace from German/European food…read moreafter tooling around the Speicherstadt, and we got an actual Chinese restaurant - not a pan-Asian place that does sushi, Vietnamese, and Indian curry. They did not have an English menu, but we managed to get by with our limited German, our server's limited English, and one of our friend's attempts to go from his native Cantonese to Mandarin. We ordered: Smoked tofu with chives and peppers Mapo tofu Crispy fried duck Shuangdong style chicken with mushroom and bamboo Everything was excellent, but I really loved the chicken and mapo tofu. The mapo tofu also had a great spice level and was made with truly silky tofu that melted in/numbed the mouth. I highly recommend this spot! The hot pot seemed like a popular option, too.

I had very high hopes for the Spicy Restaurant, based first on reviews and second on the fact that…read moreit was obviously very popular and many clients were Chinese. But my hopes were not satisfied. The food was good but not exceptional. The spicing was toned way down for a German taste. And every dish tasted similar to every other. It was not horrible. It was fine. But it was not at all that great ma-la experience I had hoped for. Then again, it is Hamburg. Maybe this is the best Chinese Hamburg has to offer.

So after all I joined the group around twentyhundret-and-a-bit: a bunch of more than 25 heads, that made their way to the GOLDEN, a place being criticized in november last year by myself in a pretty harsh but discussable way. Therefore I was pretty excited how both - the restaurantsowner and the qype community - would reflect on the upcoming event. Bearing a pretty poor stomach for almost a week in mind, I decided to choose from the menu, beginning with a chinese mushroom soup with chicken. Great choise! Delicious and tasty. Then there was some Dim Sums and in the end another shark-fin-soup (what-so-ever the english equivalent may be called). Please refer to both english and german feedbacksregarding the GOLDEN. As I dont like to edit my german comment from november `06, I have to get the GOLDEN five stars and two-thumbs-up from this end. That night was awesome! Thanks to Mr. Wong.

We had cold dishes to start, glass noodles, cold meats, tofu & garlic, etc. That wasn't really my thing, but each successive course brought better and better food. One course brought some really great prawns. They were messy to eat, but delicious. After the two (or three, I forget) main courses came some amazing soup, and after that we got one small sweet dish. I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it seemed like dates covered in dough, rolled in sesame seeds. The best chinese food I've had in Hamburg (Ok, I've not really had much chinese food, but still :)

I got the beef congee and beef noodle rolls. The dim sum prices here and in Europe in general is expensive (I.e. starting price for dim sum dishes is ~7 Euros). Our food came out fairly quick and the food was very delicious. I think this was one of the better meals that I had during our Hamburg trip. The restaurant is close to Hamburg Central Station. So it's a good location to enjoy a nice meal here before or after your travels. Overall, I would return again in the future.

It was mid day during the week and it was not busy at all. We sat at a table with a lazy suzy which is great for groups so everyone can share. The food was good and it was authentic. There were a few European twists but that is to be expected. I had the fried rice and a brisket noodle soup. Everyone shared our dishes as well and everything that I tried was good.

The descriptions or mainly in German and Chinese, with brief English translations. Also not helpful. BUT I found my go-to dish, kung Pao chicken. But when I tried to order it the lady wouldn't let me. She literally scratched it off the list of numbers I had written down for our group. No idea why. Certainly not because there wasn't any chicken! At any rate, the 6 of us managed to get our order in. A couple of dishes we didn't recognize, but this has happened to me at more than one Chinese place. They just serve you whatever. The food was good, served hot, and the service was acceptable. The only thing I sent back was the mushroom tea (what??). I asked if they could just please bring regular old tea. Now, here's the kicker: the bill can to 125€, which isn't bad for six people. They didn't accept cards, but that wasn't an issue either since I had plenty of cash. I handed the lady 150€, and she wouldn't take it because it wasn't enough tip!!! Are you kidding?? She was super aggressive about it. My cousin, who speaks German, started asking "what?" and soon they were arguing! I pulled the150€ back and have her exact change. NO tip! Because of this, I won't be going back since she'd probably serve me spicy crispy lung (yes, it on the menu!)
