JING JING in Hamburg

The jing jing is really worth a visit. Based on the atmosphere and location, it could be a secret underground bar in New York or something. The food is really great, the drinks and cocktails too! I would always order a starter, not only because they taste great, but because I probably wouldn't be able to eat just one main course. But this way you can try even more delicious things :) So highly recommended :)

Cool location, but a bit too loud.

Wow! Cocktails and food fantastic!

This must be heaven. A fantastic Thai location in Hamburg. The food is 5 star plus and leads to new culinary experiences. Reservation online is not that easy. Backyard atmosphere just great.

The ambience corresponds to a modern Southeast Asian harbor bar.

authentic Thai Haute Streetfood. refined, eccentric drink menu. welcoming, attentive service. otherworldly Thai backyard/warehouse vibes. best Thai taste in Hamburg.

Without exaggerating, the food is amazing. Of course it's all a matter of taste, but in terms of quality and price, it's incredibly good. I can absolutely recommend this to you 👍

Beautiful place with great food. Definitely worth a visit!

Great service, authentic ambience and very tasty food. However, you have to like coriander. There are also many vegetarian and vegan dishes. A manageable but good wine selection, many beers, very good cocktails. Priced appropriately. Overall a great experience.

Nicht das erste Mal und nicht der letzte Mal JING JING - immer fantastisches Essen, toller, entspannter aber aufmerksamer Service, ausgefallene Drinks und coole Location!

It was an almost completely successful evening. You don't have to talk long about the food, it's really first class. The entire ambience appears loving and well thought out and is in parts really authentic. What surprised us was that the volume and the music weren't too loud in any way and it was very easy to have a conversation. Only the service seemed a bit uncoordinated from time to time.

One of the best Asian Food Restaurants in Hamburg. Fresh & delicious, HOT! Thank you Jin Jin :)

Really great restaurant, excellent service, wonderfully warm. Food was great, finally a great Thai in HH. I'd love to come back.

The Jing Jing is somewhat hidden and looks unspectacular from the outside. But the atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and stylish. The food was outstanding and the service was simply super friendly and accommodating. If you don't like or don't like it that spicy, you can say so and the meal will be tailored accordingly. The Jing Jing also has an excellent bar where some of Hamburg's best cocktails are mixed. Simply recommended.

I went there twice and I really liked the cocktails.

Das Essen war wieder sehr lecker, beide weiblichen Bedienungen waren sehr nett, hilfsbereit, entgegenkommend was unsere schwierige Auswahl an Cocktails anging und absolut aufmerksam! Wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Sister-Abend dort! Nur die sehr laute und anstrengende Musikauswahl beim Essen war nicht ganz passend. Die Musik auf der Toilette war hingegen besser! Ansonsten tolles Restaurant!

Etwas schwierig zu finden. Leider nicht den gewünschten Tisch bekommen. Alles andere war Top.

Ich würde gerne 5 Sterne geben, aber bei den Preisen (inkl. Getränke mit Alkohol ca. 100€ pro Person) finde ich es unangemessen, den Tisch nur für 2 Stunden zu bekommen. Uns wurde ein Platz an der Bar freigehalten und das war super nett, allerdings auch mega laut durch die Club-Musik, meine Ohren rauschen immer noch. Wenn man da hingeht, um in Party-Atmosphäre zu essen, ist es prima, aber nicht für ein schönes, entspanntes Abendessen. Der Service war super nett, aber schon fast zu präsent, kaum hatte man aufgegessen, wurden auch schon die Teller weggenommen. Sicherlich muss das bei dem Timing so sein, aber dadurch ist es dann leider auch etwas ungemütlich. Es war schwer, sich dadurch nicht Stressen zu lassen. Man konnte gar nicht in Ruhe ankommen und sich erstmal kurz mit den anderen Leuten, mit denen ich da war, auszutauschen. Ich hatte das Gefühl, ganz schnell wenigstens Aperitif und Vorspeise aussuchen zu müssen, damit die Strenge Taktung auch eingehalten wird. Während der Vorspeise dann schnell die Hauptspeise bestellen. Die Hauptspeise kam so schnell, dass ich wirklich das Gefühl hatte, dass der Tisch schnell frei werden muss. Die Ausstattung ist prima, sieht toll aus, nur eben leider viel zu laut. Das Essen war gut bis sehr gut, besonders das Dessert war wirklich toll. Bei den Hauptgängen würde ich mir mal eine Variation wünschen. War vor 1,5-2 Jahren auch hier und da waren die gleichen Hauptgerichte auf der Karte. Ideal ist es, um das Gefühl zu haben, nicht in Hamburg zu sein. Da sind schon NY-Vibes oder vllt auch Berlin-Vibes zu spüren. Aber ich denke, dass sich die Betreiber einen Gefallen tun würden, den Tisch wenigstens 2,5 Stunden zu Verfügung zu stellen. Klar wollen sie reichlich Umsatz machen, aber bei Poletto oder im Cox habe ich für ähnliches Geld den Tisch den ganzen Abend und kann mit Freund*innen entspannt essen und fühle mich willkommen.

Mega tasty, super cool, extremely friendly staff

Incredibly good food. Very aromatic & high quality. The banana blossom salad is amazing. Very friendly service at reception and at the table.

Tolles Ambiente untermalt mit stimmungsvoller Musik. Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Selbst wenn Gäste am Nachbartisch einen Cocktail zurückgeben, der extra auf ihren Wunsch gemixt wurde und dabei das Servicepersonal auslachen, bleibt das Personal sehr freundlich. Das Essen ist schlichtweg perfekt. Großartige Gewürze und intensive Schärfe, die immer präsent, aber nie zu stark ist. Eiskaltes Leo Bier und kreative Limonaden runden das Essen perfekt ab.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, mega-schneller, freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service (die ersten Karaffen Wasser wurden schon auf den Tisch gestellt, während die Bestellung noch aufgenommen wurde). Die Gerichte waren sehr schmackhaft und authentisch zubereitet - die Variante "Thai scharf" verdient hier auch wirklich ihren Namen. Das Ambiente in einer Art Lagerhalle und dunkel gehaltenem Ambiente passt super, man fühlt sich fast wie ein Restaurant in Bangkok versetzt.

Great modern Thai experience! The decor is stylish and inviting, ideal for a lovely evening. The food was excellent, especially the Pad Krapao with its authentic flavors - although I found it a bit overpriced. The service was attentive and friendly. Definitely worth a visit for fans of modern Thai cuisine!

Yes…. It's simply mega! Food, drinks, service, location! I love it!!!🤩 Food is so incredibly good! Thanks for the great evening 🥰

Mega Restaurant, versteckt auf einem Hinterhof, viele thailändische Köstlichkeiten, super nette Bedienung durch Alina, die genau weiß, was die Gäste gern essen und einen Rundum-Service bietet. Wir lieben den Laden.

Ein fantastisches Konzept von der Atmosphäre bis zur Küche. Top aufmerksamer Service.

Alles absolut traumhaft. Nur die Musik ein wenig zu laut um sich entspannt unterhalten zu können

Von A-Z alles perfekt, Service aufmerksam und zuvorkommend, Essen und Drinks top!

Cooler Laden mit authentischen Gerichten. Präziser, unaufgeregter Service. Moderne Gastronomie in lockerer Atmosphäre. Sehr gut.

Unfortunately, I belong to the group that likes to read reviews but doesn't write any... "Ashes...ashes on my head"! But...you impressed me so much that I wanted to share my experience! 1. Food - 💣 Unbelievable!!! Thanks to you, I am open to a trip to Thailand. 2. Service - You and the kitchen and the bar, you are the main players!!! and you do your job with passion! I really hope that the boss sees it that way too 🤣🤣. 3. You have rightly received the “Gault & Millau” award. I wish you much success and wealthy customers! We would love to come back and I will recommend you to others. THANKS!!!

Top Service. Top Essen. Schöne Location. Musik etwas zu laut.

Super freundliches, entspanntes und herzliches Team. Das Essen ist wirklich gut und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist absolut stimmig.

Sehr nettes Personal, Ambiente und leckeres Essen!

Sensationelles Essen, ich habe 2 Jahre in Bangkok gelebt, und jedesmal ist es hier wie eine kleine Zeitreise. Super authentisch, lecker und scharf 🌶️ 😊Der Service ist top und man fühlt sich willkommen.

Sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Service und super Essen in bunter Atmosphäre. Zusätzlich eine schicke Bar mit eigenen, sehr guten Cocktails.

Very cool shop. We came especially from Hildesheim and were given a very friendly welcome. The lady at reception deserves 100 stars. Very very friendly. Food was great.

I was here for the first time yesterday, there were seven of us in total. Personally, the music was too loud for me (I don't like shouting at myself while I'm eating), but otherwise a cool atmosphere, very tasty food and nice staff.

Das Jing Jing überzeugt geschmacklich sehr das Essen ist sehr gut gewürzt und lässt auch was Schärfe o.Ä keine Wünsche offen. Die Cocktails überzeugten auch sehr großes Lob an den Barkeeper ! Was leider etwas negativ aufgefallen ist, ist das der Service am Tisch teilweise Dinge vergessen oder erst mit erheblicher Wartezeit an den Tisch brachte ( was wohl dem sehr hohen Aufkommen zur Last viel) trotzdem würde ich das Jing Jing jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Always have a good time there! Highly recommended!

We were here for the first time. Both the food and the ambience were terrific. If you want to eat something special, you've definitely come to the right place. If you could give more than five stars, we would. The great cocktails and first-class service should not be neglected either. We were particularly excited about the Espresso Martini!

Wirklich großartiges Essen, coole Location und mega nettes, aufmerksames Team!!!

Super delicious! Only one dessert on the menu but it was outstanding. Good atmosphere.

Tolles Essen. Man fühlt sich geschmacklich nach Thailand versetzt.

Writing a review for this restaurant that has been so often praised and mentioned in the press (with the award-winning bar being the main focus) is very easy: super nice service (!!!), everything happens very quickly, the ambience is ok though Something very rustic, the food is very, very simple and, like the drinks, is far too overpriced. An example is my starter, the corn buffers described in detail on the menu for 12.90 euros. These are whole corn kernels fried and practically tasteless, with a dollop of cream on the side and spices. You have the impression of tasting bland rice cakes from the drugstore with lots of creme fraiche applied to them. If you need and want to go to a “trendy” restaurant, a visit is recommended. I know of at least 6 significantly better alternatives within a 15-minute walk for a nicer and cheaper evening. And another note about reservations: you can easily use the online service “Open Table”, but there is a big catch! You must provide a credit card when making your reservation; in the event of no-shows or cancellations less than 1 day in advance, €35 per person will be charged. Changes to the number of guests made less than 1 day in advance will also result in a fee of €35 per person. This will then simply be debited from the card. With all understanding for the situation in the catering industry and the sometimes disrespectful behavior of guests: something like that is simply not possible and will definitely put me off another visit.

Great interior. Average food. Overpriced.

Das Ambiente war super und die Atmosphäre auch super nette Kellner Das Essen war auch super lecker und scharf. Es war nur ein bisschen zu trocken und die Pension waren bisschen zu klein

Overall, it was okay. It wasn't very authentic Thai, but the atmosphere was good, the dessert was surprisingly good, and the price was fair.

Super authentische thailändische Küche mit ausgefallenen Drinks

Location überzeugt absolut, Berlin-Style, cool, Essen und Drink allerdings ehr lieblos/medium. Soll aber im Allgemeinen sehr gut sein. Vielleicht hatten wir einfach Pech

Einfach ein geiler, easy Laden mit super Essen. Berlin Style in Hamburg

Top authentisches asiatisches Essen mit geschmackvollen und aussergewöhnlichen Aromen sowie erste Klasse Drinks. Cooles Ambiente und anders als sonst beim Asiaten

Seit Monaten unser Lieblingsrestaurant. Coole Bar und außergewöhnliches Essen. Dazu noch n sehr charmanter Service.

Unser Besuch begann vielversprechend mit einer Vorspeise, die einen echten "Wow-Moment" auslöste. Leider ließ das kulinarische Erlebnis mit den Hauptgerichten etwas nach, da die Gerichte weniger aufregend und eher schlicht wirkten. Besonders enttäuschend war jedoch der Service: Die Bedienung (blond, lange Haare) fiel durch ein arrogantes Auftreten auf, was die Atmosphäre deutlich trübte und den Gesamteindruck negativ beeinflusste.

At the end of August I was in Hamburg on business and was invited to Jing Jing by my business partner. We were there with a larger group. A semi-open room with a large table was kindly reserved for us. Service staff were very nice and gave us excellent advice and service. I personally enjoyed the food very much.

Hamma leckeres und authentisches Thailändisches Restaurant! Sehr gute Drinks und auch der Service ist super nett und zuvorkommend. Wir werden auf jeden Fall zeitnah wieder kommen!

Tolle Cocktails, super Stimmung, sensationelles Essen und besonders netter und zuvorkommender Service !

Yes, if you come at 6 p.m. you have the chance to get a seat without a reservation. And yes, the bar show is simply good and entertaining because there is good, uncomplicated contact immediately. Everything about the show can now be found in my experience report on the media blog TouchYou.de... What I didn't like so much in the end was the issue with the bill, which caused a bit of confusion and contained two incorrect items. Well, it can happen. It's annoying when things go against me...

The food is 4.5 out of 5 stars in terms of price-performance ratio, very high-quality dishes that sometimes have good spiciness. Tender short ribs that don't require a knife, top beef tartare and chicken wings first. The Omg Bak Highball was also very good.

Amazing food, sometimes really spicy - just like in Thailand! Plus mega drinks from Freddy and his team, absolutely brilliant. Musically it's always a banger!

Wir hatten einen super Abend mit authentischem Essen, super Service und toller Atmosphäre 😃

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. I could not recommend it more!

You have a maximum of 2 hours and will be informed in advance, even if you reserve a table. The food was very authentic Thai, so I felt at home. Extra plus points to the staff: They were mostly Germans who conjured up authentic Thai specialties, taste better than in most Thai restaurants. So many thanks to the team! It was super delicious, jing-jing (จริงๆ).

Great atmosphere, delicious food, high quality.

Enjoy your meal! Three stars, however, because of the outrageous drinks prices: PS Martini 22 euros, glass of open wine Riesling 11 euros.

We had several dishes. Papaya Salad, Pad Krapao, the Steak, the Baked Chicken, the Iberico and Sticky Rice. The main courses were all excellent. We felt like we had been transported to Bangkok and were 100% transported. The portions are similar to those in Thailand, perhaps a bit too small for Germany. The mango sticky rice was too fancy for us with the foam and ice. We like the traditional way better. But that's complaining at a very high level. After initial difficulties, the service was super friendly and attentive. For us, Thai music (like in the toilets) would have suited the restaurant even better. But otherwise everything was wonderful🤣 We'll definitely be back!

Absolutely good food, excellent service was really very enthusiastic! I'd love to come back

I went there with a friend for dinner the other night. The place is quite hyped, so my expectations – especially concerning the food – were high. However, it was a completely underwhelming experience food-wise and in general. I feel like that they added some sort of flavor enhancer to the food, because afterwards I felt a dryness in my mouth and thirst that was not quenched by drinking water. The aspect that bothered me the most though was the way the waiters were trying to upsell what felt like all the time. E.g. when we ordered two glasses of wine, the question straight away was: Why not make it a bottle? Quite regularly we were approached and asked whether we wanted more this, more that, more drinks – but not in a way that felt natural but more like there was some pressure there. And more than once wer were approached and asked whether we were done when it was apparent that there was still food on our plates and we were not quite done yet. We had slot around 8PM while the kitchen closes around 10PM, so we were not occupying tables while other guests were waiting to be seated. So I do not understand the whole pressure in the atmosphere. It made me feel quite uncomfortable. And the food was super greasy and seriously nothing special. I wish I could say otherwise. No need to repeat this experience.

I had high expectations, however the food was really not that great and super greasy. Felt sick afterwards and like I had eaten some flavor enhancing stuff. Place is really loud and you are interrupted by waiters way too often for my taste. It’s nothing that I can recommend. But luckily there are other opinions on this place as well. I guess everyone has to form their own opinion.

I can't explain the hype surrounding this restaurant and why it is so highly rated. There were three of us there and we ordered three dishes. The waitress was kind of listless and we had the feeling that she didn't know anything about Thai cuisine. We ordered Plaa Yang, Pad Krapao Gai and Pad Pak Bung Fai Daeng. We found Plaa Yang (half fish) for €21.30 very weak and overpriced. The prices are way too high and the portions are too small. As Thais, we didn't find the food authentic at all. We will not come here again and will not recommend this restaurant jing jing.

Fantastic restaurant. Extremely friendly and helpful service. Great selection on the (mobile) map (QRCode). Of authentic dishes. Great drinks selection. Always very busy - reservations make sense. Absolute recommendation.

Tolles Restaurant, großartiges Essen und Getränke, Service ist auch sehr gut, aber das man nach 2 Stunden rausgeworfen wird ist schon nervig.

Great food, nice Service and outstanding atmosphere. Will come back soon!

Absolutely horrific service. The waiter shouted at me and made our whole group quite uncomfortable. If you want to limit tables to 2 hours, that's your choice, but then the main courses should be delivered faster than 90 minutes after we sit down. It would be nice to get drinks in less than 20 minutes, too. It would be even better if the food came in larger portions. The foam on the cocktail was ridiculous (although maybe fun for other people). The food did taste good, but not good enough to compensate for the slow, aggressive and upsetting service.

if you are looking for original thai foods, i can recommend this restaurant but there is no thai staff to give you a service.

Outstanding food, nice location but the waiter should be removed. We were given two bottles of water without asking for them and he tried to charge us for that. Also he became very aggressive when we mentioned that it should be more visible that you only get two hours if you arrive at 6 PM. If you arrive after 8 PM there's no such restriction. Overall we will definitely come back but ask for another waiter.

Alles geil geil geil. Der Geschmack der Gerichte ist so langlebig, dass es noch morgens glücklich macht.

Chapeau! Hingabe, Leidenschaft, Handwerkskunst und all das zu vernünftigen Preisen. Valentin du Mothafacka du übertriffst dich immer wieder aufs neue.

Einfach immer wieder unfassbar gut. Momentan eines der besten Restaurants und Bars Hamburgs.

Please everything with spicy <3

Great food ruined by one horrible server. The Asian waitress with highlighted hair basically treated me like I did not exist. She only took order from my German friend and completely ignored me, also Asian, Thai, to be precise. I saw that waitress talked to other customers and taking order from them as usual. I tried to enjoy the food without overthinking; however, when it came to paying she also only spoke to my German friend. She handed the credit card reader to my friend and then my friend moved it to my side of the table since I would pay for it. And again, she also just ignored me. Took back the machine. No thank you. No goodbye. No nothing. At least, another caucasian German waitress said thank you while we were walking out and the other male server was nice. PS, this is not the first time I ate at JING JING. Not sure if there will be a next time after this. What a shame. The som tam dish was on point.

Sehr coole Location, authentische Küche, super Service - ein Hauch von Ferien in Thailand, mitten in Hamburg

Just super delicious! Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Dishes well crafted down to the smallest detail! You can tell that the chefs here know their stuff very well. It's great that the dishes aren't so huge because you can order more, try and share 🫶🏻 I don't understand how some people can complain here and complain about the price-performance ratio. Don't you notice that they use really good ingredients here and that you even get real Thai herbs here, instead of no herbs or just mint and coriander elsewhere? Anyone who has ever cooked Thai knows how expensive something like that is. So if you complain about price-performance with this quality, then you don't understand anything about quality and should go to the Germanized Thai snack bar. This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Hamburg and I am always happy to come back ❤️❤️❤️

Mal wieder Menschen ins Jing Jing gebracht, die vorher noch nie da ware. Alle fanden es super lecker, lobten die tollen Drinks und ich bin Fan des Gewürztraminers geworden. Ein Traum.

Price-performance simply doesn't fit. The portions are way too small. In my main course curry there were 3 small prawns and half a sweet potato, that was it! The Iberico steak was served with raw Chinese cabbage. And there were 4 slices of fish from the salmon starter, so there is more salmon on every nigiri. We as girls weren't full... Taste (coriander and chilli dominates) clearly good but not outstanding either. No recommendation.

Very tasty, but relatively high prices for small portions

The evening was really great. The food was very good and authentic. Strong praise to Lorena. She was very accommodating. Don't lose your focus!

Essen war sehr gut. Geile karte und gute Drinks. Die Wings waren phänomenal

Alles top,m: Atmosphäre, Service, Essen und Drinks!

Great authentic food. If you order “Thai Spice”, you will also be served a delicious and challenging spiciness - excellent! See you next time :)

Very tasty yellow curry and nice ambience. It actually reminds me a bit of Thailand 🙂

We went to Jing Jing for the first time today. Everything was just right. We had a massaman and a red curry, a papaya salad and sticky mango rice for dessert. Incredibly tasty, beautifully prepared and very nice service! We'll be back very soon!

Good selection of delicacies from the streets of Southeast Asia 😋 and boldly seasoned. I'll definitely come back.

A chic shop with delicious food - warning: very spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️😂 The only complaint is that we had to wait quite a long time for our food. But it was also very full (even though we were there during the week).

Schöne Atmosphäre, versteckt im Hinterhof. Leckeres Essen und leckere Drinks. Diese sind aber für die Menge zu teuer. Allgemein sehr pricy, aber es sieht gut aus und schmeckt auch so.

Phew, I'm not really into these new constraints with reservations. I won't vouch for 6 people. Apparently no other form of reservation is possible :( "This restaurant requires credit card information in order for the reservation to be made. The credit card information is processed securely. No-shows or cancellations less than 1 day in advance may incur a fee of €35 per person. Changes in the number of guests less than 1 Day in advance may be subject to a charge of €35 per person"

My girlfriend and I had a lovely evening at Jing Jing. Incredibly good food and delicious cocktails. Afterwards you can chill out in the lounge. Really 10/10. Absolutely recommended 💯.

Tastes and impressions are different. Unfortunately, we cannot entirely agree with the predominantly positive reviews. The location is a very interesting and unusual object from the outside. When you enter the property you are greeted warmly. From inside you can tell that a lot has been invested in the furnishings, the bar looks promising. At the table, however, the lighting is directly from above and you are completely illuminated. It is not a friendly light but more like a hospital light or changing room lighting. Given the current lighting concept, the location is not suitable for a date in a cozy atmosphere. Our service person (female) was very cold and just over the limit of friendliness. Maybe she had a bad day, but unfortunately that didn't necessarily create a feel-good atmosphere. There was no consultation with the courts. We ordered the corn fritters in advance. They tasted good. Nothing to complain about. For the main course I ordered the rump steak, 250 grams for 32.50 euros. A proud price. The taste was good, unfortunately the sauce with it wasn't my thing as it contained fish sauce, luckily it came separately. My companion ordered the shrimp curry for 18.30 euros. We were given a bowl of rice. According to the menu, the rump steak came with rice. However, we were not told about it but rather stated it without saying a word. If the curry came without rice, it would be more of a stew and the portion would be quite small. We definitely ordered a portion. I actually planned to toast my birthday there. We didn't like the evening, mainly because of the lighting on the table and the very chilly nature. I still gave a tip of almost 10 percent and the waitress took it as if she had received 50 cents. When I told a Thai friend about the visit, she shared my impressions. She was there a few weeks ago with her husband. Maybe we were just unlucky. However, we visit restaurants regularly and therefore I believe our rating for this location is accurate. But definitely a good evening for a drink. However, we won't come again. The open kitchen and the unusual location are positive.

I can't fully explain the hype, but maybe it's because, as a vegetarian, I'm not part of the target group. The vegetarian dishes are just side dishes, which are indeed delicious, but unfortunately none of the three dishes blew me away. The drinks were good, but unfortunately the dessert wasn't as expected; I've had much better sticky rice. The service was friendly but very inflexible. I won't come back.

Super Essen, unglaublich lässige und freundliche Angestellte, tolles Ambiente und super Musik

Not suitable for older audiences. Resembles a factory hall. Lots of wannabes and snobs. The chicken wings were not cooked through, some were bloody. The beef tartare was very tasty.
