Karo Fisch in Hamburg

Simply in a class of its own. A must for us Bavarians.

I don't understand the good reviews. In my opinion, it's convenience food, especially my fried calamari (which were also tough). On the other hand, the fried potatoes were mushy.

Fast-food joint. Delicious food and very friendly staff.

Very good fish, friendly and helpful staff, great value for money, everything fresh, no long waiting times

Excellent service! Loved the efficiency!

Amazing as always. Fresh and tasty! Ozam was super friendly. Ntmy and Servus!

We were looking for seafood and stumbled upon this restaurant. It's a great concept. The fish is served in plain sight, and the kitchen behind the counter guarantees quality. All dishes come with a side of potatoes of your choice, salad, sauces, and bread. It's a shame they forgot to bring the bread. The service is so-so.

A good place for bistro-style fish. My cod was perfectly grilled, tender, and juicy. Simply fantastic. It comes with a small salad and garlic bread with sauces. The price for one dish is practically equivalent to a small meal. Everything was excellent, the service was very friendly and attentive, and the liveliness of the guests made you think you were at a vacation spot. There are also tables outside. It's all very relaxed. A real recommendation.

At first, they were nice and friendly. The food was OK. Then, when I paid with my card, they simply deducted an additional 30% tip behind my back. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! When I asked, it's now like this. NEVER AGAIN

I thought it had closed, so I was happy to see it was open. I wonder if the prices have gone up quite a bit?

The service was very friendly, and the food came quickly. You can watch the preparation because the kitchen is open. We had the fish mix and the plaid mix. It came with three dips, herb bread, and a side salad. The fish was cooked perfectly, very tender, and delicious. The chips and side dishes were also great. The restrooms were clean, too. We highly recommend this restaurant.

The price/performance ratio is absolutely excellent. A beautiful view directly onto the bunker is included.

Very pleasantly surprised. I ordered a calamari plate. Got some great bread and salad with three sauces to pick at before the main dish... Excellent. Main dish was amongst the best I've eaten... Crunchy tentacles, soft main... Delicious. Dinner with wine cost me 25 euro. Everything was clean and fresh. Recommended.

Nice little fish restaurant across the street from the bunker. Service was quick and friendly, and they took care of us right away. The meal came with a small salad with dips and baguette, which was quite good. The seafood was also really good, with several potato varieties to choose from. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the noise level; since it's a relatively small restaurant, it gets a bit loud with the kitchen and the general hustle and bustle.

Great service, and the fried fish was delicious as always. Thank you.

That's a cool restaurant! Fresh fish, friendly people, that's how I imagine Hamburg!

Highly recommended. The food was very good 👍 and the prices were reasonable.

Very good restaurant. I just finished eating the Karomix with my friend and it was just delicious! The ambiance is also good 👍🏿😊 , one must just be ready for the price! I highly recommend

I'd be happy to come back. Freshly prepared, fried, not deep-fried, quick, not too salty, generous portions. No frills, generous portions.

very nice and simple concept serving various types of fresh fish, on counter / ice display, in more or less the same way, for an efficient and enjoyable meal. prices are very fair considering the raw sources.. only note was that both the types of grilled fish we had, Zander (!) and Seelachs were quite overcooked, surely very safe but also dry.

Simply iconic. The fish tastes great, the portions are huge, and the staff is friendly and fast. The ambiance? It's just a snack bar, and you sit on beer tent chairs right on the street, which is absolutely fine.

Delicious, good, friendly service. One star deducted for the wobbly tables and benches outside.

Fresh fish, nice and very tasty!

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. One of the staff was very rude and disrespectful, and it seemed like he had serious issues with controlling his emotions.

I'd call it a fish snack bar rather than a fish restaurant. The fresh fish display speaks volumes about the Karo and suggests consistently fresh fish. However, I had the impression that my "fish & chips" was a frozen fillet cut into pieces – that's it. The round chips are okay, and the best are the three different sauces – very spicy, good garlicky. Overall, the price-performance ratio is good in 2025.

The food was divinely delicious, the fish was wonderful!! The waiters also did a good job!! The main downside is that there is a kiosk next door where there are a lot of drunk, annoying, noisy people(

Super delicious fish restaurant! Good prices! Very friendly and attentive staff!

Small fish shop with delicious food and friendly staff.

Highly recommended, service super friendly and courteous, food super delicious, price-performance top

Nice bistro for fish. We had fried fish and chips, which was unfortunately just standard frozen food, but the other fish dishes looked very good.

Friendly service, good recommendation from the waiter, delicious food. Unfortunately, there was no receipt for payment (I noticed this later). Highly recommended!

The food was very tasty. It's quite busy, and sometimes you may have to wait for a table. Good value for money.

The food was very tasty and the service very good and therefore highly recommended

Great restaurant, great food. Great value for money. The 3 free sauces were also great.

As we walked past the restaurant, we were thinking, "Hmm, okay," but once we were inside and were invited to a table by a witty Croatian grandpa who also always sits at a bar 50 meters away, the evening took off. Great food, great service! What a fish restaurant. Simply brilliant.

More of a snack bar than a restaurant, directly across from the Holy Spirit Field and stadium. Various simple fish dishes, not bad but nothing special either... Seating inside and outside.

If you want to eat delicious and juicy fish at a great price in Hamburg, this is the place to go. Pictured is my absolute favorite grilled sea bream. I've been a satisfied customer for years. Delicious! 👍🏻😋

The owner of the place took great care of us, everything was great. Thank you very much again. With love from Yalova🫶🏻

Delicious, truly juicy, and fresh fish! Grilled right in front of your eyes. And you'll definitely be full afterward!😊

Best fish items in town... Anyone near by st. Pauli, u must go there to have the best food in town. Taste for money

Service and fish super humane prices

The fish tasted good. The portion was good.

The fish dishes are pretty good. I liked the pangasius fillet.

Cool place, was really tasty, we were pleasantly surprised 😊

The Karomix is ​​highly recommended! The service is very friendly, and the food didn't take long to arrive. The fish here is fresh, and you can taste it immediately! The three accompanying sauces are also delicious.

Fish mix was freshly made and very good

Unfortunately, the portion was very small. The plate was filled with relatively few roasted vegetables and potatoes. We ordered a mixed set, so everything was measured out and cut into very small pieces on the plate. It tasted very good 👍. The three sauces were also delicious.

Since we had dinner here a few years ago, we came back. The food is still truly delicious and we enjoyed it immensely. Unfortunately, we had to wait a really long time for our order to be taken. And then they completely forgot to bring us the drinks. In the end, however, they were included in the bill. They were promptly removed from the bill. If the service were better, I would give it five stars. The food, however, is truly delicious and very fresh, and the price/performance ratio is very, very good.

It was delicious 😋, the whole staff was nice and friendly." ✅

4 stars for the food... the fish was quite good. However, our table was wet and sticky. 1 star for the service. The waiters seemed listless, even though there was hardly anything going on... one of the waiters chatted with customers here and there instead of serving us, so we felt unwelcome. He also smoked while making his rounds, which was quite unappealing for us non-smokers. I wouldn't go back. At almost €60 for two people, I'll find somewhere else.

Excellent service and quality food. A simple and fast fishmonger's shop.

The food was really good and the fish was fresh. The staff was very attentive. The portions were generous. The best fish restaurant in Hamburg. Highly recommended.

The place is a full five, great food, everything's just right. I'm lucky enough to experience fantastic service, with so much life around it. Thank you so much.

Very friendly, uncomplicated and the food fantastic

Nice seafood restaurant with very good food, fair prices, and attentive and quick service.

Great value for money. Nice service.

It's delicious~ They're busy, but they're very friendly. It's so, so, so hot. But the fish dishes are delicious!!!

Excellent dinner, cozy place, and friendly staff! I recommend it.

I really liked it. Genre/Good fish, neat cooking, friendly service. Bilkain. Considering we are in northern Europe, excellent.

The service is nice. The atmosphere is quite enjoyable, although a bit cramped. The food is quite disappointing. Not a lot of flavour in the fish, besides the salmon (which is hard to mess up anyways). If you are on the run and hunger got you by the throat, stop by and have some food. It will get the job done. However, if you have time to wander around, there's probably a better place out there.

A delicious little fish snack bar. The food is fresh and deliciously seasoned. The three sauces are also delicious. The price/performance ratio is absolutely fine. We were quite full. Highly recommended.

First, I have to say that the portion was very small. The entire plate was filled with roasted vegetables and potatoes. Even though we ordered a mixed set, everything was measured out and cut into very small pieces on the plate. The fish sandwich I had on the beach was tastier than that.

Delicious fish dishes, generous portions served with croutons as an appetizer. I highly recommend the mixed grill with potatoes, everything very good (perhaps a little pricey, but we're in Germany and the fish is fresh).

It's fresh seafood. The portions are generous and it's incredibly delicious!! I guess a lot of Koreans come here too. When I asked for menu recommendations, they told me right away that Koreans usually order this and that.

A family-run fish restaurant, highly preferred by locals. Their treats and salads are delicious. Their fried fish is a bit oily, but it's all fresh. The price is good.

Best fish in the city. Friendly staff, cool beer.

Be careful with the waiter, he's not clear. Four of us sat at a table and ordered in English a Karo mix (five types of fish with various sauces) to share, a fish sandwich, two waters, and two beers. The waiter asked us, "Four sandwiches?" We replied, "No, one sandwich and a Karo mix to share." He brought us the water and the beers, and a few minutes later, the sandwich. After 20 minutes, we said in English, "We're waiting for Karo mix, is that okay?" The waiter raised his finger and said, "Okay, okay." Almost half an hour later, we said, "We're waiting for more than an hour for a Karo mix, that's not acceptable!" He told us there was no Karo mix, that we had only ordered a sandwich! Oh my goodness, I don't know if the fish is good at this place, but the empanada this guy is making is definitely amazing. Therefore, I strongly recommend that if you order something in English, you make sure you're understood several times. We obviously left without eating. The person who ate it said the sandwich was good, at least. The rest of us were in a good mood for the summer.

I sometimes crave for this beauty

Located right next to the Hamburger Dom (which often takes place...), which is certainly convenient. The fish is quite good, but the side dishes are a bit uninspired and simply too expensive for the overall value. At least the tables could be wiped down...

Very good, fresh fish! I'd gladly return. Unfortunately, the wait was long, but it was worth it. Prices are very fair for the quality.

Gender and attention, a very good combination.

Karomix is just right for two girls, the ingredients are great, and the three sauces are good

Everything was delicious, but the potatoes weren't cooked properly.

A rare gem. Huge portions of great price friendly stuff. Absolutely recommended. Across from the subway station Feldstraße. Across from the newly planted World War bunker that is now accessible via a wrap around staircase. Also, kitty corner from the twice a year fair called Ham burger Dom.

Mega-delicious. Unfortunately, the restrooms were soooo dirty, so I had to go somewhere else. Of course, the staff isn't to blame for that, but rather the people who had no manners and left the restrooms so messed up... Otherwise, everything was great.

The most perfect fish restaurant I've ever seen. Everyone, from the owner to the staff, is incredibly friendly and expert. I highly recommend you try it.

Wow 🤩 I've rarely eaten such delicious fish, accompanied by perfect fried potatoes. We really enjoyed our visit and will be back. The guys' service was excellent.

Best fish in town, everything fresh and delicious. Super friendly and attentive service. Ambiance: Kitchen flair, cool.😜

How can you simply refuse a woman (who has a bladder problem) a quick use of the restroom? I'm shocked. I asked nicely if I could go to the restroom, and I was sent away. When will you finally realize that a woman can always have something, like in my case, an ILLNESS, or pregnancy, or period? How inhumane can you be to just say no? This is a truly garbage store.

We live in the neighborhood and this was our first time eating at Karofisch. We had a really nice seat in the back corner. We received friendly service, and our drinks and salads arrived quickly. Our chosen dishes also arrived quickly and were simply delicious. Best wishes from the Karo district.

I've rarely eaten such a bad meal. The "fried potatoes" were mushy old potatoes, not sliced and left to rot on a large hot plate. I asked, but was that supposed to be the case? The grilled vegetables were inedible. The fish was okay. 35 euros, and I left the food. I never do that, but the side dishes are a disgrace. The service isn't even close to perfect. Bottom line: food of the lowest takeaway quality at upscale restaurant prices.

Simply fresh grilled fish and sea food - that is a recipe of perfect meal!

Tasty Fish Variety with One Exception I had lunch at this restaurant and chose the mixed fish plate, which is a great option if you want to try different types of fish in one meal. The mix included salmon, ling fish, pollack, tilapia, and pangasius — and it only cost €19. Most of the fish were fresh and flavourful — especially the salmon and pollack, which were tender and perfectly cooked. However, I personally didn’t enjoy the pangasius as much. The texture was a bit too soft for my liking, and it had a slight earthy or muddy aftertaste. Still, it’s a good spot if you’re into seafood and want to sample a variety. The portion was generous, and it’s a great way to experience different fish in one dish.

this was not far from our hotel so we thought we’d give it a go and we read good reviews on Google. I must say the food was very fresh. I had the salmon which came with a side of potatoes and some vegetables and a salad and they give you complementary garlic bread we also had the shrimp came with the same. It’s a very casual indoor outdoor eating establishment. There’s no English menu. This is probably an area where people live around the area and come here for dinner, but if you’re a tourist, it would be a good place to come and have a casual dinner price was moderate The people that waited on us were very helpful and nice. Had to ask for our check but not a big deal. We were in no rush. If you’re in the neighborhood I would definitely recommend that you try it if you like fresh fish

Second time here and still really good, get the Karo Mix to enjoy a sampler platter of fish and seafood.

We spontaneously stopped in for dinner. It was incredibly delicious, super fresh, and the service was friendly. The price/performance ratio was excellent! Highly recommended! 😋

Take a fish plate. Maybe to share. But make sure waiter took your order correctly and did not miss the position you wanted.

We had some delicious fish there in St. Pauli. Highly recommended 👍😋

A wonderful experience, especially if you're hungry so you can eat more :) We loved the Karo Mix and the calamari and shrimp mixed platter. Top-notch flavors, excellent service. Friendly, conversational staff.

I've been here three times already. The food was delicious at first. Unfortunately, the quality of the dishes has noticeably deteriorated recently – the taste is no longer as convincing as it was in the beginning. The service, however, is particularly disappointing: At peak times, it's often hectic, which is understandable – but that doesn't justify the unfriendly and sometimes rude tone with which you're treated as a guest. Friendliness shouldn't be neglected, even when the place is full. As a paying guest, you quickly feel like a burden rather than welcome. Overall, there are now comparable restaurants in the area with better food, a more pleasant atmosphere, and more attentive service.

Delicious, delicious! Even if the fried potatoes aren't exactly to our taste (too soft and not crispy), the price/performance ratio is good. The ambiance could definitely be improved. We'll definitely be back here again. Keep up the good work!

I loved the bread. The appetizers are delicious. Greetings and love.

Delicious and good selection of drinks at fair prices, we'll be happy to come back!

A nice, pleasant restaurant. If you can find a seat outdoors, you can enjoy the harbor view.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow! What a catch! 🐟 We had fish and chips three times and were absolutely thrilled. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside – that's how it should be! And the potato slices? An absolute dream! Golden brown, perfectly seasoned, and simply wow! I seriously wonder why I didn't discover this fish shop sooner; this certainly won't be our last visit! Add to that the palpable freshness of the ingredients and a friendliness that immediately puts a smile on your face. A true Karo gem! Highly recommended!

The grilled shrimp, potato wedges, baked potatoes, and the seezunge are fresh and delicious. On the pricey side though. Garlic bread is yummy. The fried calamari is very soft, the crust is thick. Not the best texture. Great that they have two toilets for women, and one for men.

The personnel were unfriendly and the food was too heavy ( the fish was too fatty) and not tasty, I personally find that the prices are high and not worth what was served, if you want to enjoy a good fish meal I will not recommend it .

Nice food. I enjoyed the fischsuppe. Service was also good.

It used to be better. And the store isn't cheap anymore either.

Great food, the fish and grilled calamari are very good. Just across the flak tower.
