Karo Fisch in Hamburg

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.😜

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

It doesn't get any better than this! Super delicious zander fillet

We had the pleasure of having lunch here. A very kind lady served us, and her kind words truly warmed our hearts. The food was delicious, and we really enjoyed the surprise appetizer. I can only recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy some great fish dishes!

The food here is generally delicious, especially the grilled calamari. However, there are clearly too few service staff – the restaurant was full, and we had to wait a long time for our order. Also, the calamari portion was quite small for the price. It's a shame, otherwise it could have been a really great experience.

This restaurant in St. Pauli has good food and good service. Unfortunately, it's on a busy street, but that's not their fault. Very tasty, I highly recommend it! 14/15

I always get the scampi. They're simply too good, I can't believe how delicious they are.

Super authentic atmosphere, friendly service, delicious fish! Great!

Service & friendliness 1A finally fish sandwich without remolade simply delicious & always happy to go back

The food was okay, but we waited very long, food is not worth the money

We had the fish sandwich and it was delicious...the service was ok, but I guess it was a busy time. We sat at a table by the road and when a table by the shop got free, we asked if we could sit. Unfortunately a couple which came after us, was given the table. Having said that, we would still recommend this place in Hamburg. At the end, the food is what count..keep up the good food and until next time.

After reading the positive reviews, I was really excited about the trip here—probably too excited... I was there at lunchtime during peak hours. The service was clearly overwhelmed and a bit unfriendly. Anything is forgivable as long as the food is good, but the fish was unfortunately more than average. It's also difficult to eat here with a larger group; people were even turned away, but it seems to be doing well enough despite that. The ambiance is typical of a fast-food restaurant, so nothing to complain about in that regard. In conclusion: you can do it, but you don't have to.

We ordered fish and chips yesterday. It was rather modest. I'm used to it differently. The portion was okay. The taste wasn't great. The staff was friendly.

The seafood is very delicious with acceptable price. The service is fast and friendly. Highly recommended to enjoy meals here.

Great place. Friendly staff, clean place, delicious and affordable

Simple cafe but super friendly and awesome food. Let them choose for you and you wont be disappointed

great place to have fresh fish and seafood products for a good price. very busy most of the days in the evenings so may wait for the tables. we had fish and chips which comes w complimentary dips and another day grilled salmon w complimentary salat and garlic bread.

Fast, efficient service, tasty food, large portions, decent prices and in a nice location opposite the bunker.

I was in Hamburg for a week, and this was my highlight! Extremely good fish (plaice was also great) and the price is super fair. I highly recommend the fish mix, and the grilled potatoes are incredibly good! The staff are also super friendly and attentive! If I'm ever in Hamburg again, I'll definitely come back.

Highly recommended. It looks like a snack bar, but the fish is top-notch.

The restaurant was full when we arrived, but we were lucky that someone was ready relatively quickly. The staff were genuinely a bit overwhelmed and disorganized. We had to wait at our table for about 10-15 minutes before we were even spoken to. The table wasn't even wiped down after the previous guests. We ordered two fish mixes with grilled vegetables (carrots, celeriac, and leeks), once with fried potatoes and once with grilled potatoes. Each came with a salad (more of an appetizer salad than a side salad due to the time difference) and a baguette with herb butter and three different dips (which unfortunately weren't described in detail). The fish was very tasty and juicy. The fried potatoes were well-seasoned but, like the grilled potatoes, were very soft and not crispy at all. You can't make a reservation, so you either have to get lucky or wait a bit. Overall, it was good.

Unbelievable! Great service. The food was perfect. Highly recommended! Attila, if you're ever in the Ruhr area, I'd be delighted to see a comparison. Greetings, Andre from König Eck Bottrop

amazing low key fish focused restaurant

Friendly restaurant, especially price/performance ratio is right, was pleasantly surprised

Rustic and delicious, no-nonsense, it tasted amazing! You can see the fresh fish fillets in the display and choose directly. Super kid-friendly; our 4-year-old had our full attention :) Keep it up, we'll be back!

Miga cool, prices are reasonable.

Friendly service and delicious food

Been there for the first time, it was delicious, immediately felt at home...great, friendly service!!

The food was delicious and prepared right in front of your eyes. I highly recommend it.

The mixed fish and seafood platter was really good! Especially the fried potatos had a great seasoning. The deep-fried calamari were okay. My friend had a whole "scholle" which was good too. The restaurant was a bit noisy. Prices are slightly high. Overall, okay experience, but no need to come back

Tessa dice “el mejor pez de la historia”. Maravilloso pescado fresco, ensalada, verduras y pan en los bajos 20 ’s Euros. Gran comida para una gran cantidad. Es uno de esos lugares de los que dudamos en hablar porque es tan bueno que podría estar demasiado ocupado. Una prueba obligada en Hamburgo.

I highly recommend Karo Fisch. Although it was very busy (including walk-ins), the four of us received a very friendly and courteous welcome. The freshly prepared lunch was delicious and plentiful.

Great shop, highly recommended! I'd love to come back ❤️

You're always looking for the fly in the ointment... There isn't one!!! Everything's great 👍 👍 👍 👍 😃 .

I can definitely recommend this restaurant. Friendly staff and delicious food at reasonable prices. I'd go back anytime.

Very good fish! A bit hectic, but you can get used to it ;)

Very tasty, finest fish, large portions, thank you very much!

Absolutely delicious. I happened to go for dinner today. All the dishes were deliciously prepared. The staff is super polite and friendly. Highly recommended 👍👍

Highly recommended! Super friendly staff. Very tasty food. We had chips and fish. The prices are perfectly reasonable for the quality. We will definitely visit the place more often.

The price is high, but the portion is big. The seasonal grilled fish was delicious, but my friend's tuna steak was just so-so. If you are here for fun, then you can consider eating here.

Top. Especially after a St Pauli game.

Yesterday, we had the pan-fried sardines recommended by the waiter. They were extremely tasty! They were crispy and juicy, even when they were only lukewarm. The ambiance is very simple. The waiters are attentive and attentive.

Absolutely delicious! The freshness and flavor were simply perfect. I can recommend it to anyone who likes fish.

We had the Karo Mix and the fish and chips (w people to share) and it was very tasty.

The food was pretty unseasoned, and the squid rings were almost entirely breaded. A very average fish shop. The staff is friendly, and the seating is quite comfortable.

Super Essen, frischer erstklassiger Fisch, bester Thunfisch aller Zeiten, freundliche und sehr nette Bedienung. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder👍👍⚓️😎

Awesome, delicious, super, etc.

Good food at a reasonable price

Super friendly service. Super delicious food, everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

Probably the best fish in town 😋

The food is fresh and delicious !!!! I really recommend the karo mix!

Unfortunately you have to be careful when you order to take away, I had to go back because I forgot to pack something, far too expensive for a normal fish & chips dish and the portion was too small! Service not polite either! As a non-smoker, I didn't like the fact that the audience smoked and drank at the broken, squeaking tables, and the audience was way too wild for me! Food was ok but nothing special!

Super lecker Fisch essen mitten in St.Pauli . Sehr nette Bedienung und alles geht sehr schnell. Innen und außen Sitzen sehr einfach aber cool.

Directly vs. from the bunker, small restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Quick good food

I love eating here. Delicious food Great service and price performance is also right

The food was awesome and the staff were very sweet. It was super full and getting a table was difficult but that is totally understandable! It is just that good.

Food comes in large quantities and is fine. Unfortunately a large portion of the menu is made of farmed fish from the over side of the world. Makes one wonder if the whole menu is not made of farmed fishes which is rather disappointing from a fish restaurant in a harbour city. The service is friendly. Place was very busy a Tuesday evening.

Fresh taste, great atmosphere, nice staff. We recommend the grilled mix

A reunion with Karo Fish – a classic returns Today I once again had the pleasure of visiting Karo Fish in Hamburg - a place that I have known and appreciated very much for over ten years. After a long period of closure (one, maybe even several years, we don't know exactly), this culinary fixture has finally opened its doors again. And I can say with a clear conscience: the return was worth it. For me, what is served here is, without exaggeration, one of the best fish dishes you can find in Hamburg - fresh, perfectly prepared and with a fine sense of quality. The staff is attentive, warm and professional - service at eye level, as you would expect. The restaurant itself has expanded significantly and has lost none of its charm. Quite the opposite: The new openness creates space for enjoyment and conversation - and the view of the Hamburg Bunker opposite gives the place a special atmosphere between urban pulse and maritime serenity. Karo Fish is a piece of Hamburg's culinary culture - honest, healthy and full of taste. If you love good fish, don't come here. And I don't want to either.

Everything was good but I gave it 4 stars because it's quite expensive and especially when you want to add just additional meat but you have to pay the whole plate price for the additional..

Small but nice and an absolute recommendation. The shop has a very clear menu, but everything is freshly prepared in front of the guests. Taste fantastic. The atmosphere is quite simple, but very clean (including the toilets). Card payment possible. 10 out of 10 👍.

The restaurant you walk into has an English menu, the fried fish is delicious, and it comes with salad and bread~

If you are looking to truly enjoy fresh and delicious fish dishes in Hamburg, I recommend visiting this place. Among the many restaurants in Hamburg, you can feel that the taste of the fish dishes here is particularly good. If you are unsure about what fish dish to choose, I strongly recommend ordering the "Karo Mix" menu. This dish is put together so you can taste several types of fish at once, making it an excellent way to experience the flavors and textures of various fish. Initially, when the food arrives, the portion might look a bit small. However, with the warm bread and fresh salad served beforehand to whet your appetite, and by gradually enjoying the main fish dishes, you will find yourself surprisingly full. Overall, the quality and taste of the food are excellent, and it will be a great option for anyone looking for a satisfying fish meal in Hamburg.

It's a famous and only fish place in the area of Feldstraße Schanze. Fisch is fresh though it's too crowded and sitting is tight. Hard to talk among each other at a table. They use too much oil and it's pretty hard to get noticed by the waiters. One time try is recommended.

Very good quality fish and sides! 😋 We really enjoyed our dinner. Next time we‘re in Hamburg, we‘ll come again.

Food: Karomix plate was a pitifully small portion dripping with fat and stinginess, for €27(!) Service: bad-tempered, overwhelmed guy, couldn't wait until we left. Ambience: old gossiping Botox aunts who never stopped smoking. Fat and smoke. I ate that, I've been sick for 2 hours!

We are visiting Hamburg and discovered this very good fish restaurant. It was super delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely come back when we're in town
