Nanking in Bremen

We ate at Nanking today, May 18, 2025. It was just like we remember it from our childhood, including a fortune cookie at the end. Very good, friendly, and fast service. The food came super fast, and it was nice and tidy.

Things couldn't get any better in Bremen

This is the best restaurant in all of Bremen

We are regular guests and always come back.

Authentic cuisine, very tasty, rich and always worth a visit in Bremen. Duck in all variations and the starters are highly recommended.

It starts when looking for a parking space, but on the weekend you don't have to pay any fees, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, there were four of us there and we had a table reserved, it's better, nice staff, the food came relatively quickly, the starter was a delicious soup and the main course was plentiful and tasty, no question about it, my wife had ordered a meal that was supposed to be without mushrooms according to the menu, but there were campions available, well I got them, but that's one star less.

Definitely these food are for local people, it is not authentic CN food. Chinese food for foreigners, Chinese people don’t have to come

I stumbled into this restaurant by chance, but it was even more delicious than I expected. Each ingredient had a strong flavor and the whole dish came together well, making it a truly authentic Chinese meal. The jasmine tea was also fragrant and flavorful.

As regular customers, we are always very satisfied. Everything was absolutely great.

An old-fashioned European Chinese restaurant, the food tastes pretty good, but a bit monotonous.

It was very good, recommend it ♥️

Hvis man kan lide at kødet koger i en suppe, og ikke steges som “ normalt” Mongolisn barbecue, så kør løs. Ikke noget for mig, og de færdige retter var der heller ikke mange af

Very nice there, and everyone is very nice!

A very nice, not kitschy restaurant. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. The price-performance ratio is also right. We would go there again

Super top restaurant 👌👌 huge portions. The atmosphere is very cozy. Very friendly staff. Of course the taste is also top notch.

I gave it 5 stars because the food and service at the Nanking restaurant were excellent. The dishes were delicious on the hot plate, and the meat was very tender. The sauces were excellent, and the vegetables were freshly prepared. But what I remember most pleasantly was the friendly waiter. He beamed at us as he served us and ensured we had a wonderful evening.

On Saturday, April 15, 2025, I went there for dinner with my daughter. I used to go there often when I still lived in Bremen. Hardly anything has changed. The beautiful large round table is unfortunately no longer there, but otherwise, everything feels like it used to be. Super delicious food, friendly service, and the atmosphere you imagine was 100% realized. I would like to thank the Nanking team for the lovely evening.

Regular customer for decades...🙃

The food tastes very good, the service is quick and friendly.

The friendly and attentive service is commendable. The quality of the dishes we chose did not correspond to the usual standard from Chinese restaurants. The meat was dry and sizzled and poorly seasoned. The chicken soup was completely tasteless and only had a few threads of chicken throughout it. Therefore the overall rating: not recommended.

I didn't particularly like it this time.

It was a nice restaurant. We got the food quit quickly. Good taste and reasonable price👍🏻

Great food, we were there spontaneously and even got a table shortly before 7. Even though the restaurant was already packed. Service and food were good. Ventilation would be desirable.

Everything is really right here. The food. The service. The restaurant. Everything OK 👌

Zu den Speisen werden auf Wunsch Reis oder Nudeln serviert. Unsere Speisen waren unglaublich lecker sodass wir das übriggebliebene mitgenommen haben. Personal sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. In Summe ein Erlebnis. Am Wochenende besser reservieren

I've been eating there for years and it's by far the tastiest Chinese food in Bremen. Even though every seat was occupied, the waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food came quickly and was very delicious. I think it's particularly good if you take the leftovers with you and don't get Styrofoam packaging, but rather dishwasher-safe containers. There is a €1 deposit per can, which I personally think is totally okay.

Really highly recommended - we went to this restaurant at 5:30 p.m. without a reservation and were allowed to choose a place to eat with 4 people - and were thrilled, great service, great service, price performance 5 ⭐️ - thank you 🙏

Always great food and prices not that high. Nice atmosphere

Still delicious even after more than 30 years. (I was here as a child.) Lunch is also available on Saturdays until 3 p.m. Noodles are made fresh - none from a bag - and the spring rolls also come from our own kitchen. The service is fast, friendly and accommodating. We like to drink a pot of tea in the afternoon to warm ourselves up... and then we head back into the city.

We had dinner in Nanking with friends for a long time. Friendly service - generous portions - not overpriced! Everyone enjoyed it from good to very good - I would like to rate the food and service 4.5*. We like coming to the restaurant again! A Chinese restaurant that we recommend with a clear conscience can!

A nice and stylish place for a decent and tasty meal. The ambience is reminiscent of a vacation in Asia, the service is very nice, polite and accommodating. The portions are decent, the price is good for Bremen standards and the quality is top. In the photo you can see the 118 (duck cross on bean sprouts) and the 50 (beef Chinese style). Conclusion: highly recommended.

We eat there often and of course there are reasons for that: super tasty food and attentive, nice staff. Eating at Naking is an all-round feel-good package!

Nice, attentive, friendly waiters & waitresses.

The food is TOP!!!! Gladly again.

We ate very well. Portions are very reasonable. Prices completely okay. Service was nice and friendly. Ambiance Traditional for Europe.

Excellent taste in a nice atmosphere. The entire staff is very friendly and there is a large selection on the menu. Nanking is centrally located and very easy to reach on foot, by car and by train. It's clean and has charm. Gladly again.

Traditional Chinese a la carte restaurant. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. Well prepared dishes, slightly pricey. The quality is right. Reservation recommended.

Great service, great food, you feel comfortable as a guest, reservation is recommended

Great Chinese, very nice staff, food very tasty. We were very satisfied.

We ate here and were thrilled. Very friendly service and super delicious food. We'd love to come back.

I was back in Nanking after what felt like 40 years and I wasn't disappointed. At the time it was already considered the best Chinese in Bremen. I can only confirm that again today. It was incredibly delicious. The five of us spent a wonderful evening there 🥰

The dishes are delicious and plentiful, and the atmosphere is typically Chinese. Overall a good price-performance ratio.

Wanted to go out for Asian food. And then we decided on this restaurant by chance. There is a large selection of Asian dishes here, a classic ambience that seems slightly outdated, but still has its charm. The food itself is very tasty, the portions are large and the prices match what is on offer, there is beer on tap. We were completely happy. Gladly again 5/5

We like coming here. The food is always very tasty. All employees always friendly. The Peking duck is highly recommended. 👌

Chinese food at its best! As always, excellent. Delicious Chinese food where starter, main course and dessert are recommended. Whether it's lunch or dinner with the family, it's simply delicious here.

One of the best Chinese in Bremen. Super tender duck and very good service. Clear recommendation.

Such a delicious and amazing meal!

The restaurant is decorated in a classic Chinese style, but seems far too big for my taste, which makes the atmosphere seem rather impersonal. The waiter is responsible for many tables at the same time and does not establish personal contact with the guests. At times I even felt ignored - for example, the waitress walked past my empty glass six times without asking for another drink. Even when I complained about the warm beer, the fresh drink was placed on the table without comment. Incidentally, this happened twice, which suggests that half of the beers were tapped in advance and therefore warmed up. On a positive note, the main course (chicken with vegetables and curry) was fresh and tasty. The dessert (baked banana), however, was not. This seemed more like a finished product. I prefer smaller restaurants that offer more personalized service. For me, in addition to the quality of the food, the service is also important, and unfortunately this left a lot to be desired.

I had the desire to "eat Chinese, but like before, at the table, in delicious", so we came here. The ambience alone is a dream, so beautifully "kitschy" but really kindly meant. The staff is very friendly and it was very quiet even though it was very busy. The food was delicious, just like before. Thank you for the wonderful evening and we will definitely come back.

The food was great. We ate four different courses and they were all delicious.

Unfortunately you can only give 5 stars. Remaining great for over 25 years. Recommended. All thumbs up.

Highly recommended. Whenever we visit the city center we always eat there.

Wir kamen hierhin zum Mittagessen. Nach kurzer Zeit füllte sich das Restaurant mit Gästen - erstmal ein gutes Zeichen. Das Interieur war gut - chinesisch, aber nicht zu kittschig. Der Service gut und freundlich. Das Essen war sehr gut, insbesondere bezogen auf den mittagstisch. Auf jeden Fall eine sehr gute Wahl.

Nanking has been an institution in Bremen for many decades and I have known it since my early childhood. I travel to China regularly and can therefore say that the food is authentic. This was my first time there since I moved from Bremen and I can still recommend Nanking.

I was there with my friend Sabrina, we both love Asian food and the restaurant completely met our needs. Sabrina, it was a very nice evening with you :) Inst. dogeone21

Very tasty food, generous and reasonably priced. This has nothing to do with “fried noodles to go”. The service is quick and very friendly, children are welcome. Single-use take-away packaging is dispensed with in favor of a cheap deposit system. The interior is a bit old, but still harmonious. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff!

Went here for lunch today and it was good, tasty and filling like the "Nanking" has known for over 40 years. I appreciate the service staff because of their attentiveness, friendliness and willingness to help. The "Nanking" is a guarantee for very good Chinese cuisine and is certainly the best Chinese restaurant in Bremen.

I love this restaurant. The service is always friendly and the food has always been very tasty. Everything was great, my favorite Chinese ☺️

Food is very good. The service was very friendly and accommodating The atmosphere is very pleasant. We'd love to come back.

Very courteous service and good food. My mother's favorite restaurant. Now also for my wife and me.

Very friendly welcome and hospitality. Ambience and food very tasty.

The food was so good and the price very appropriate. (Gebrachten Reis)

It was very tasty and you can also order the dishes without glutamate. Major advantage. Today we had the Buddhist fasting dish and a shared baked banana with vanilla ice cream. Even divided into 2 plates!!! 😁👍👍

We have always enjoyed our food there for many years. No reason to change anything.

Great food, atmosphere like from the 90s. I love it

A particularly nice man served us. Very friendly and accommodating. Adorable. The homemade noodles were particularly delicious. Gladly again. Highly Recommended.

Very nice place, the food was incredibly good and the portion size was more than enough. No complaints, always happy to come back :)

Unfortunately it has become too expensive.

45€ for tomato-pineapple water sauce tied with starch, 6 pieces of pineapple and peas inside, endless sprouts and nothing else, meat was good and rice, you can't go wrong with that. Am very disappointed

The atmosphere is great Despite the fact that many people We were satisfied, it was delicious, the soup was good

Great atmosphere, not overly kitschy. Super courteous service. The waiter was just great. Food very good. Absolutely recommended.

The food in Nanking is very good, the ribs as a starter and the Bamigoreng Extra are awesome.

We had not made a reservation but still found a spot. The food was delicious and we enjoyed this hospitable restaurant.

Absolutely overpriced! My husband and I have been guests at Nanking for years, unfortunately the food and the rooms have suffered greatly. The prices double and the portions become smaller and smaller. You now feel like you're being ripped off here and you're not really getting enough. There are better Chinese restaurants there now. The inventory is also quite old. There is simply no investment here, only profit-making. There are better Chinese restaurants there now.

The dishes cost around €15-16 but are very generous. It is advisable to share a dish. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice. You can sit there comfortably and definitely stop by.

Thank you because of you I have such stomach cramps and spend my evening on the toilet. For rice with meat without vegetables, wow

Nice Asian restaurant. Attentive and friendly staff. Well located on a small side street. It's better to reserve seats for the evening on the weekend...we were somewhat lucky with 5 people.

Top Chinese in Bremen!! The duck was delicious, as were the fried noodles! The furnishings are also very comfortable and like a short trip to China.

Super tasty, very fast service, incredibly competent, always happy

We were here today and loved it. The food is highly recommended. Really good and not full of glutamate like most people know. We'll be back soon

Although it says on the Internet that it is barrier-free, it is not. There was a step at the entrance and after asking, there was no portable ramp. I can't rate the food because I didn't come in.

Always delicious food. No matter when you are there. And friendly service.

We've been coming for decades, but the food no longer tastes good and it wasn't tolerable either! The space next to the entrance that we were given when we arrived was cold and drafty. We won't be coming back!!!

Excellent! Unique interior, super nice staff, what we couldn't manage we got in a Tupperware container. The food was great, tasty and rich. We just felt comfortable. Update: definitely try the Peking duck! (order 2 days in advance). It's just a shame that many of the seats in the restaurant are very dirty. My wife is a little disgusted and puts her jacket underneath.

Supper delicious, thank you for the lovely evening

The food was okay, but not as good as I expected after reading the other reviews. Unfortunately not more than normal average. Unfortunately, it's too expensive for what's on offer.

Very nice service and the food was really great 😎...thank you very much and see you soon 🥳

Our visits to Nanking were always a pleasant experience that took us back to a bygone era. The rustic furnishings give the restaurant a unique charm that makes you feel at home. We have visited the restaurant several times with different groups of people and have always been impressed by the friendliness and attentiveness of the employees, who were always present even when the workload was high. The food was consistently delicious and always served hot. The diverse menu offers something to suit every taste, but there is a lack of a buffet for those who would like to indulge in gluttony. :) Overall, we can recommend the restaurant without reservation.

Reservations on the weekend are recommended, otherwise everything is good.

Duck on the hot iron plate was delicious as always

A little old but typical Chinese, the food was great and went extremely quickly

Table right next to the entrance very unpleasant. The cold comes in as soon as you open the front door and that is not pleasant. People crowd right next to it while waiting for their placement. Table to avoid. In terms of cuisine, very good dishes, however lack of taste in the sauce served separately. Mine should have been well seasoned but nothing. Disappointment for the sauce. The crispy duck and the rice were very good. Attentive and efficient service.

The Nanking offers a cozy atmosphere, nice service and a wide variety of very tasty Asian food. The portions are great, we always had something left over and were able to take it with us for the next day. Price performance is top. We always enjoy coming here.

Had a delicious meal, lunch menu, nice service even though it was full at 1 p.m. the food came quickly

The employees are friendly and quick. The food is super tasty and the price is justified for the good quality.

Tasty, great service, reasonable prices. We'd love to come back.

Great Chinaman. Big and good card. Many options. Tastes very tasty. The store is always very full.

As a starter we had wonton soup and spring rolls. Then fried noodles and grilled duck. Only recommended 👍 the service is very friendly and we find it really comfortable and always enjoy coming back.

It was good and a lot, tasty, nothing more needs to be said
