Madame Mai Hamburg in Hamburg

We arrived with a group and were seated right away. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu, including translating. The food was fresh and had many interesting flavors that made us enjoy it and wanted more! The cocktails, in particular, were amazing, both in terms of flavor and color! It was an interesting experience and a lot of fun. We'll definitely be back!

A dream! Very tasty food, which comes to the table very quickly after ordering. We recommend the tapas version, where the whole table is full of great delicacies. A small minus is the 2-hour reservation block, so you have to leave because the table is still reserved and a comfortable end with drinks is not quite possible. Still, it's worth coming here and trying it out.

The food was quite good and served quickly. Unfortunately, the waitress ruined our experience. When paying, she actively demanded a tip from us by repeating the price of the meal three times in a row. I also mentioned three times that I wanted to pay by card. After the waitress realized that no tip had been given, she became angry and loudly cleared our table. Absolutely outrageous.

Very nice interior design Food arrives super quickly Service is very attentive General dishes are quite okay, the chicken wasn't particularly recommendable Sushi is great; not only does it taste great, it's also a feast for the eyes.

Well, maybe sometime again, nothing special.

Madame Mai – High-quality ambience with a mixed culinary experience Since Madame Mai is part of Maison Mai, it was a must for us to try it. Sushi, of course, was a must – we ordered three different varieties. Unfortunately, they didn't really impress us. The very intense, spicy aftertaste wasn't to our taste, which is why the sushi doesn't make it into our top 10. The tapas were a completely different story: They were the highlight of the evening! They tasted excellent and definitely something we would happily order again. The ambiance is beautifully designed and has a high-quality feel – a successful blend of fine dining and a relaxed restaurant. Madame Mai's prices are in the upper range, which is underscored by the atmosphere and design. Overall, a stylish place with light and shade in the kitchen.

I can only recommend this place, every time I come to Hamburg I absolutely have to stop by here. Spectacular cocktails and simply top-notch food. I have never eaten such tender meat, it melted in your mouth. The pasta with prawns and the tapas were all exceptional. Congratulations to the whole team. I forgot, even though the place was full. After 5 minutes we received drinks and food. Greetings and see you soon

Great selection of tapas and main courses, no long wait for the food, very friendly service! Be sure to reserve as it is very busy.

It was our first time there and we really liked it. Very tasty and visually beautifully prepared dishes. The staff was polite, courteous and quick. Overall, a relaxed atmosphere with appropriate background music (not Asian). Recommendation!

Wonderful location to enjoy. Mega 😋 delicious yummy

Delicious food, beautiful decoration. Friendly kitchen staff.

Auf Grund der guten Bewertungen wollten auch wir die Küche des Restaurants genießen. Leider wurden wir damit sehr enttäuscht. Doch zum Anfang - die Begrüßung beim Betreten des Restaurants war freundlich und auch die Küche und der Service war sehr schnell. Die gewählten Vorspeisen waren ok und entsprachen unseren Erwartungen an die asiatische Küche. Bei den Hauptspeisen hatte man versucht, asiatische Zutaten mit denen anderer Küchen zu fusionieren. Leider entsprach das Ergebnis geschmacklich nicht unseren Erwartungen. Das Lachsfilet wurde mit einem rohen Kern serviert. Leider wussten wir nicht, dass alles "Medium" zubereitet wird. Der Service hat uns auch nicht nach der Garstufe gefragt. Das Entrecote war leider trotz dieser Garstufe zäh. Die Udon - Nudeln hatten keine Geschmacksnote. Hier kann das Küchenteam sicher noch einiges verbessern.

It was really tasty! I was there once for lunch and once in the evening and both menus offer various very tasty options.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Madame Mai in Hamburg and it was amazing! The restaurant offers a cozy, stylish atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing. The staff was very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was exceptional - the choice of dishes is varied and creative, with fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. The sushi and the sticky rice for dessert were particularly good - it was a real treat! Madame Mia not only offers fantastic cuisine, but also a great ambience that invites you to relax and enjoy. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone in Hamburg – I would love to come back!

The food wasn't very imaginative, so I expected much more. We had to share a small table with 5 people and had reserved in advance. Unfortunately the price is also excessive. It's a shame, we definitely won't be coming back. Oh yes, the staff was nice, the atmosphere was ok.

Super tasty food of very high quality, but the menu is super confusing

Simply recommended! Great value for money! Gladly again !

We spontaneously wanted to go out for something to eat at 5 p.m., half the shop was empty. Apparently everything is reserved from 6 p.m. However, a table could have been reserved online. Maybe they just don't want small children there, I don't know. It's a shame, we won't be coming back.

Super delicious food, combination of Vietnamese cuisine and European cuisine

Very tasty food...The tapas are recommended... Great cocktails. Due lemonades very exotic.... Gladly again

Mega delicious food at okay prices. The seating is a bit cramped but it's more of a bistro than a restaurant and that's ok

The food is really MEGA!!! But so does the price. You should have been there once... but not for every evening 🙈 Unless you "have it left" 🤪

Simply unique, price and performance are real 👌 🆗️

Not recommended at all. Service is abysmally poor because it doesn't exist at all. We had to make ourselves noticeable to get someone to take the order. Food miserable. Cold udon noodles. Cold, dry rice. Cold, dry duck breast. Cheapest frozen salmon and then cooked dry. Everything just tasted like the cheapest over-salted soy sauce. Over €80 for nothing!!! Every Asian street snack is better. And BE CAREFUL you will be ripped off when it comes to prices. The prices on the bill are sometimes €1.50 more expensive than listed on the menu!!! Can't understand the positive reviews at all. ONCE AND NEVER AGAIN! Really a shame...

It was my brother's birthday and there were five of us here. We had reserved in advance and that was absolutely correct. It was super crowded. The waitress was really incredibly friendly and thanked us so often. All of our wishes were fulfilled and we would like to come back. The highlight was the piano accompaniment to the main course. I can only recommend it.

We are always thrilled. The tapas are very tasty. My favorites: curry soup, spring rolls (unbeatable), teriyaki salmon and sweet potato fries. Kind regards and see you again soon.

Very tasty food, large portions. Nice ambience with pleasant music. Unfortunately the service wasn't good, it was quick at first, but we wanted to order something and had to wait a long time.

Great food and drink. Great service.

Very nice atmosphere, very good food, very courteous service. I can only recommend it.

This is likely the best Asian-fusion place in Hamburg! The Vietnamese tapas are really tasty and while other places offer dishes like tempura avocado, crispy, chicken fingers. And udons as well, I find these to be the best. They are also very pleasantly arranged. Staff is bet friendly too. Great place for a nice dinner with friends or a romantic dinner with your partner.

Get a seat in the middle of the aisle. Some of the food was cold. Food was average.. all you can eat flair in expensive.

Solid Asian - but I think there are much more authentic ones. Nevertheless, of course it tasted very good, service was friendly and the atmosphere is also very nice.

Delicious sushi and the cocktails were great! I will definitely eat there again :)

The food was really tasty and the drinks were also great and aesthetic!! But I would recommend reserving a table :)

Das Restaurant überzeugt mit einem modernen und ansprechenden Ambiente. Allerdings sind die Tische sehr eng gestellt, sodass man sich kaum privat unterhalten kann und das Gefühl hat, direkt neben den Nachbarn zu sitzen – das könnte angenehmer gelöst werden. Die asiatischen Tapas sind geschmacklich gut, allerdings entsprechen sie eher klassischen Gerichten als einer echten Fusion-Küche. Viele Speisen bestehen aus frittierten Komponenten mit bekannten Soßen, was etwas mehr Raffinesse erwarten lässt. Angesichts dessen wirken die Preise für ein asiatisches Restaurant in Ottensen etwas hoch. Trotzdem wünsche ich dem Team weiterhin viel Erfolg! Konstruktives Feedback dient der Weiterentwicklung – es wäre schade, wenn kritische, aber faire Rezensionen einfach gelöscht würden.

I'm currently in Hamburg for work and was around the corner in a wonderful coffee roastery and by chance I walked past Madame Mai. The store looks very novel from the outside, the great large windows and the beautiful furnishings immediately invite you. The service was very good and friendly, since I was there around lunchtime, there was still the lunch menu with very good prices and a small selection from the otherwise slightly different menu. The food came to the table quickly, it was fresh, tasty and very hot. I was super happy and will definitely come back again.

Overall, everything tasted good. No taste surprise but used to Vietnamese cuisine, well presented. Fusion cuisine, however, is not the food. We chose several tapas that don't qualify as fusion tapas. Salmon with teriyaki sauce or chicken and avocado baked with mayo sauce are often available at Asian restaurants. The price is too high for predominantly fried products and the effort behind the dishes. Unfortunately, the room is too loud and the tables are placed very close together so that you basically eat with your neighbor at the table ;)

I've been here very regularly so far. Unfortunately, success went to the team's head. Now you're just a number. The service is more than unfriendly. It's best to order everything at once and clear the table quickly. Too bad

Delicious fusion dishes and courteous service. Reservation required.

Thank you for the perfect lunch.

Highly recommended, super delicious food

Short waiting time, delicious food, creative dishes, deserves a tip. SUPER!

Basically good, but I still found it a shame that a Vietnamese restaurant doesn't serve pho in the evening

A great restaurant with a really nice atmosphere, delicious, varied food and friendly waiters. Unfortunately, despite making a reservation at 8:30 p.m., we had to wait about 15 minutes in the entrance area - as did a handful of other people with reservations.

Unfortunately I don't understand the very good reviews here. The teriyaki salmon was very dry and tasteless. The starter coconut chicken was not crispy and very greasy. Other dishes were also very poor quality and tasteless. It was my first and last visit to this restaurant. Not recommended. Too bad

Very nice presentation and the taste is just as good. fast service, nice decor

Went here for the first time today at lunchtime with a group of 7 people. Very nice modern atmosphere. The best way to get here is on foot. There are hardly any parking spaces. Toilets on the upper floor. Staff very friendly and attentive. Food was good. There are also vegetarian dishes. Wheelchair accessible entrance. I can recommend the crispy wonton. I'd love to come back.

Loved the food. Good price/quality

Delicious dishes, but they didn't meet our expectations of fusion cuisine. The tapas still tasted good and we filled up well with 6 tapas + 1 side dish. Service was friendly and quick. We found it annoying that all the tables were placed very close together - private conversations were therefore only possible to a limited extent.

The food is simply outstanding. Great ambience. Very nice service. Everything was much better than expected. I can highly recommend the restaurant. We'll be back! 😋❤️

Madame Mai in the Stahltwiete in Altona. A very nice, modern restaurant with Asian fusion cuisine. Very tasty food and an extremely friendly and attentive service team.

An evening in “Madame Mai” – light and shadow! The menu was varied and we decided to try different dishes to get a comprehensive impression. Crispy chicken! The texture was initially promising, but upon consumption a significant flaw became apparent: each of the four pieces was riddled with bone fragments, making eating much more difficult. Given the description, I would have expected that only high quality, boneless chicken would be used. The disappointment continued with the other dishes too. The beef was cooked to perfection, but was riddled with tendons and fat - inedible. Such a lack of quality is surprisingly disappointing. The service - not very convincing: I informed the waitress at the beginning about my coriander allergy and asked for an alternative sauce without coriander. But this request was rejected with a categorical “That’s not possible”. Only after persistent asking did I finally receive teriyaki sauce. Despite my explicit information about the coriander intolerance, there were fresh coriander leaves in my salad. Such a mistake is not only unprofessional but potentially dangerous. I would have expected much more sensitivity and attention here. Aside from the cuisine and service, the atmosphere of a restaurant is a crucial factor. However, this was clouded by the behavior of the operators: During our stay, the restaurant owners sat in the same room, observed the guests - including us - and responded to constructive criticism with disapproving looks. Such behavior is inappropriate and contradicts a welcoming corporate culture. Recommendation: Anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable Asian experience will be much better off in other restaurants. Unfortunately, “Madame Mai” falls far short of expectations and urgently needs an overhaul – both in the kitchen and in dealing with guests.

To be honest, I don't write reviews often, but if something pleasantly surprises or disappoints me, I do it. Unfortunately there was a big disappointment here. My co-worker and I were there yesterday and wanted to chat for a bit, so we asked if we could sit upstairs as it was quieter up there. The gentleman on duty told us that unfortunately this wasn't possible because they had reservations from 2 p.m. We were there until 3:30 p.m. and it was empty up there the whole time. As for the food, there is a lunch menu consisting of a meal and a coke. I asked if I could swap the coke for water, I was told this wasn't possible. Only Cola or Cola Zero is offered. In this situation, I decided to take the regular meal off the menu and ordered a bottle of water while my colleague ordered a menu meal. The food came after maybe 3 minutes? Shock, I already knew it was warmed up. And not only that, unfortunately the tofu was breaded and obviously fried several times in fat. Other than that, our meals didn't really differ, apart from an extra portion of zucchini for my co-worker. I only ate 10-15% of it because I was hungry, but it didn't taste good at all. Unfortunately, I went to the gym that evening to run, but I felt like what was in my stomach was coming up my throat. I ended up throwing up at home. I absolutely cannot recommend this place.

Very nice atmosphere, super tasty food at a fair price.

Overall excellent at this price level. I've eaten worse for more money. Everything is right here.

The food was quite good so far. The service was OK. We had to wait a relatively long time at the entrance until we were taken to our reserved tables and then it took another 20 minutes until they even accepted our order. After that everything went very quickly, the food arrived shortly after we ordered and we were very happy with it. We enjoyed it deliciously. The prices were also cheap even compared to other restaurants. We would definitely come back.

Beautiful restaurant - delicious food and friendly and attentive staff. Clean and tidy everywhere, including the toilets. We would love to come again next time we are in Hamburg. Happy New Year ✨⭐️✨

Excellent 👌 good food delicious 😋

We had high expectations, when we arrived. Unfortunately, we left feeling disappointed. We share five of the tapas and three of the sushi. The portions were a little smaller than what tapas are normally. But the quality of the meat was pretty decent. The sushi we had was alright. We ordered cocktails which we waited 25 minutes for but when they arrived were really good. The waiter unfortunately was very unfriendly and really rude, not just to us but other tables too. In fact there was an argument earlier on in our dining experience with him and another customer.

Service is a bit slow. The food is ok, but I can't justify it for the prices. We booked via website and went, but still had to wait 10 min to get seats.

We were there with 4 people. The aperitif mistakenly came at the same time as the first course. The food was ok, but not outstanding in our opinion. The wine ordered for the second course came much too late. We were almost finished with the food. Everything was very hectic and there was a high shift turnover of guests. High ambient noise. Since the food is not very high for Hamburg standards, the price-performance ratio was ok. If you like it that way, you're in good hands.

Nice ambience! Delicious food & reasonably priced. The waiters were a bit understaffed, which is why we always had to actively approach the employees if we needed something. But it was limited and therefore had no influence on our good experience :)

Great service, great food, everything was great!

Delicious food, quick service, an all around lovely visit

Simply wow and impressive. When you enter the restaurant it is very modern and at the same time cozy and yet very very chic and the ambience is very artistic. I was more than satisfied with my companion. It's easy to have a conversation in because it's set up in such a way that even though everything is very open, you still have a cozy atmosphere. The food was super tasty because it was very natural with large portions and yet contained very expensive ingredients. We were amazed at the price. The waitress was professional with a smile on her face and very personable. If I ever come back to Hamburg I would visit this place again and look forward to it. My tip: listen to the daily recommendation! Mihihihi

Wir waren spontan mit 8 Leuten vor Ort und hatten Glück einen Tisch zu bekommen. Da die Auswahl sehr groß ist haben wir den Kellner gebeten, uns einen bunten Mix zusammenzustellen. Wir waren begeistert über die verschiedenen Gerichte und die Qualität. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Als kleiner Tipp ich würde weiter Rotweine mit auf die Karte nehmen.

The food is quite good, the ambience is a matter of taste. I wouldn't go there again because the service was unsatisfactory. A lot. As soon as you had your first drink you had to call someone to the table by shouting and waving. The level remained this way until the bill was paid. “Sorry for disturbing you,” you almost want to say as you walk out. It's a shame, that made the evening more annoying than fun. And the bill would have been significantly higher if we guests had been well entertained 🤷‍♀️

Very attentive service and delicious food. Had several tapas. We'd love to come back

Great tasty dishes. But creative and the concept of lots of small dishes really works. The drinks and food also came very quickly. Everything very professional with nice service. We recommend making a reservation, although we lucked out spontaneously.

I've had lunch there several times. The food is always very tasty and of good quality. The waitresses are nice and you are served quickly. The restaurant is cozy and nicely decorated. Keep it up and I'll be happy to come back!

Food is quite tasty, the four of us ate a selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian tapas, a bit monotonous in a way, as a lot of it was in the fried direction. Unfortunately, this is the second time we have had problems with items on the invoice that were not delivered. When asked about this, the waiter reacted relatively unfriendly and it took a lot of back and forth until the item was removed from the bill.

Super nice restaurant! Friendly staff, delicious food... the tea! Incredibly delicious. Everything was fine.

Very tasty food somewhat extravagantly prepared and served.

Very unfriendly Very unfriendly service, sometimes rude, with sayings, how can you read? No customer requests, such as changing the inserts, are possible. Date of visit: September 2024

Sensational dishes and very friendly staff. Very modern interior - divided into islands, very suitable for family celebrations. I'll happily come back just for the sushi.

Delicious food, friendly service, modern but cozy atmosphere. Plus fair prices, what more could you want?

The high reviews had us starting in a good mood. Spoiler, unfortunately our selection of the 8 starters and the main courses were still convincing. The only highlight is the homemade lemonade. The service was friendly, but there was hardly any time.

Nice restaurant with first class food. The service was very friendly and attentive. The salmon tartare is phenomenal. The highballs are also recommended.

The salmon tartare was like a poem on the tongue. The other dishes were also very tasty. Beautiful location and service super friendly.

We celebrated our Christmas party here with 8 people and were thrilled! Unfortunately the table wasn't set when we arrived, but that didn't particularly bother us! We had the big great wooden table upstairs and can highly recommend it! You could have a good conversation at a comfortable volume! The food was delicious and beautifully prepared! We'd love to come back!

Great food and Service. Prices are very reasonable for the portions offered. Loved the food.

A recommendation, only the espresso still has room for improvement

Very nicely decorated shop with a great selection of food. (Almost) all of the dishes were accompanied by photos, which gave you a very good overview. There was a wide variety of tapas and starters, including sushi. These were delicious and are recommended. The main course was also good but not as outstanding as the other food, but it was inexpensive. Definitely a recommendation to take a look there.

Very difficult to impossible to find anything bad. Top food, beautifully prepared, excellent taste, enormously good quantity and at a record-breaking speed. Really excellent food. Nice ambience. Nice, very reserved service. Price performance just right ✅

Service was super nice, food was good. Ambiance is really nice. Price performance completely okay. We were satisfied

It was full again… Reservations are absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, the marinated duck breast was nothing at all... The rest was okay and not outstanding... They can't do espresso... There were better culinary times... Apparently too busy...

Lovely place with AMAZING product, specially the duck, it melted in your mouth. Lovely for a few asian Tapas and a cocktail and to have dinner as well.

Delicious food and interesting dishes. Food came very quickly and the drinks were good too.

I’m very surprised by such a high rating of the place, unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The service is far from welcoming, we came to a completely empty restaurant, we were offered the most uncomfortable table and very reluctantly moved to a table for 4 people (there were three of us). The food is average, did not cause any special delight. The rolls were falling apart. The worst thing is that my daughter got food poisoning and spent the next day vomiting and feeling weak, so I have doubts about the storage conditions of the products.

The food was very pleasing to the eye and also tasty, but the entrecôte, which is served sliced ​​here, gets cold too quickly. Must have here! the plates are preheated. There is no dip for the vegetables or sweet potato fries. The main course came as soon as we put down the starter cutlery. I can understand that you want to clear the table quickly, but you feel rushed and that's not comfortable. It's not a fast food restaurant.

One of the best Asian restaurants in Hamburg! Ambience and design modern and beautiful! You can take beautiful pictures there for social media. Service is very friendly and quick too. Drinks and food are served just as quickly. We were surprised at how quickly it went, despite being busy at lunchtime. The price is a bit higher than average, but in my opinion the portions are quite large, so value for money is definitely right. I can recommend Madame Mai to everyone, especially to fans of Asian cuisine, as it will delight your palate!

The meat was tender and the sauce was really delicious!! The udon was delicious, and the curry and shrimp went well together and were delicious! The starters were a bit salty, but still delicious! I recommend it Was very nice!! I really liked all food. Coco Chicken and goza was a bit salty for me, but still yummy. I recommend :)

We had reserved because the hotel was nearby and were very impressed. Very tasty food, also visually great, cozy modern furnishings, you can sit here for longer. The homemade lemonades were all very good too. Only the cocktails were a touch too alcoholic for me personally, but my three companions were very happy with theirs. You are also welcome as a Harry Potter fan, there were pennants at the entrance, a broom and "Wizards welcome" :) would be happy to come back.

We discovered Madame May via TikTok - my wife had seen some posts in which the restaurant was extremely hyped. This made us curious and we immediately reserved a table for 9 p.m. Unfortunately, our expectations were not entirely met. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait until 9:45 p.m. for our seat, which was a bit disappointing. We were offered an apology champagne, but that didn't really make up for the long wait. Luckily the food came quickly, the taste was okay, but we couldn't quite understand the TikTok hype. It was good, but unfortunately that special something was missing. What was positive, however, was that we were given 10% off the bill for the inconvenience. This was a nice gesture and showed that the staff cared about the service. Nevertheless, the impression remains that price and performance were not entirely in balance. Maybe our expectations were too high due to the social media hype - for us it remains a mixed experience.

Very tasty food and quick service

Very tasty Japanese tapas and great cocktails! Absolute recommendation, even if the vegetarian selection is a bit limited!

I actually wanted to eat Thai food, but it was probably Vietnamese food. But it was very tasty.

The food was top. The service was okay, but still could be improved. The ambience is actually quite nice, unfortunately there are Harry Potter things everywhere in the lower area (due to the promotion) that didn't correspond to it modern kitchen or other furnishing style.

The atmosphere at Madame Mai is appealing and the service was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food didn't entirely convince us. The chicken was a bit dry and heavily fried, which lost some of the flavor. The fried scampi with pineapple could also have used more sophistication - the hoped-for taste explosion did not materialize. Overall it is also dusty and the bathroom didn't seem cleaned. All in all, a nice experience, although not quite at the level we would have expected from fusion cuisine.

Unfortunately a big disappointment compared to the existing reviews. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service was good. Unfortunately the food couldn't keep up. The dishes were bland and really had very little taste. The chicken and shrimp were fried for way too long, making them dry and tough. If you're looking for good Asian food, you'll be disappointed here. Too bad
