Orchid Palace Restaurant in Hamburg

It was very tasty, the atmosphere is super nice. Unfortunately, we had to wait far too often for service even though it wasn't exactly full. Even after. Unfortunately, after asking several times, the service often passed us by and smiled. We'll definitely come back anyway...

The best Chinese for me, it was very tasty, a small salad first, then I had duck and chicken, everything was delicious, I'll be back soon. Was there again, very fast service, again everything was very tasty. I will be back😋

We often go out to eat. But you will rarely find a Chinese restaurant like this. Excellent food, just great.

The restaurant looks inconspicuous from the outside! Then you experience a surprise, it's incredibly beautiful to immerse yourself in another world. China in Hamburg ❤you should experience that for yourself. It's important to call ahead and reserve a table, it's worth it

Was here on Boxing Day and it was very busy, but that wasn't a problem. Table reserved at 2 p.m. and we were seated at the table at 2:10 p.m. The food was very tasty and came quickly despite being full. There is also nothing to complain about with the friendly staff.

I've eaten there many times 🍜. Now after a long time I was there again with my mom on Christmas Day 🌲. It was so well attended that I was happy to have pre-ordered online. The menu was good and plentiful for the holidays. Very tasty 😋 the food and staff friendly as always. When we left there was a long line waiting for a table. Normally there was a sign in the door telling you to wait 2 hours. has time to eat. I can only recommend the good cuisine, as you can hardly find any good Chinese restaurants that still cook like this. Top 👍 👍.

Lunch is good. Dinner is an imposition, service very unfriendly and incompetent. After a few months had passed, I gave the restaurant another chance. But was disappointed again. The food is not worth the price.

There were three of us there and we had a mixture of duck, baked pork and chicken, some fried and crispy, but also other things. We can only say good things about the food. Individual requests were easily addressed. The special thing about the meal was that you could choose from many very different dishes. i.e. The sauces were also more varied in taste than usual. The fruit used was fresh and not canned (like many others), which we noticed very positively. The salad (!) served contained a variety of ingredients, including kiwi and blueberries - original! Elegant ambience with a koi pond and aquarium as well as a wood-panelled ambience. 非常感谢！

Coming from Berlin and now living in Grömitz on the Baltic Sea, I am of course extremely spoiled when it comes to Asian food (especially the good old owner-managed Chinese restaurant). I really have very down-to-earth and clearly formulated requirements that, for me, define a restaurant like this. Preferably always a store that has been around for a long time. Then the dishes must have been in use for decades and may therefore be slightly worn out. The cutlery must be solid and suitable for gross motor skills. The furnishings are best left in the same unrenovated condition for decades and kept in a slightly dark wine red... so let's say old school style. Well, new to the region and looking for a restaurant like this, I googled something in Hamburg and found some results. The interesting and rather coincidental thing was that the route also fit incredibly well. Very exciting and interesting in advance... the connection between old and new online. A really well-made website with all contact options, so really appealing and that's what I was able to take a look at. What is always important to me in a good Chinese restaurant: wonton soup and twice baked beef. Whoever has that on the card and implements it well wins for me. When I arrived in Hamburg by train, I was able to take the "S1" from the main station towards the airport (I wanted to go there anyway) and was pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant was right on the route. Once I got off at the Alte Wöhr (Stadtpark) stop in Barmbek, it was only a few minutes' walk to Fulsbüttler Straße in Barmbek... and then I got exactly what I was looking for and expecting. I also determinedly found a good table for myself (table 7), from which I had a complete view of everything including the entrance area in a good location. A very attentive waiter approached and I immediately started talking to him. So I was able to pick out exactly the important points for myself. The “Orchideen Palast” presented itself (see photos) in exactly the ambience in which I feel comfortable and relaxed. Quite classic and traditional, maybe a little old school. That's exactly what I like. The restaurant has been on the market for over 30 years and is therefore long-established and exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't really mistaken about the food here either. Wonton soup very decent (you could certainly make more of it) and the number 118 / beef twice fried won my heart. I really got into it and it reached me inside. So that means that I will always like to stop there when I visit Hamburg in the future. So this was finally something in the gastronomic no man's land that had been going on for me up until now, where I could feel welcome and at home. That's exactly how it has to be :-) I'm really looking forward to seeing you again.

The food is top notch, as well as super friendly and smiling staff. The room is incredibly cozy and creates a good atmosphere. As a couple this is a place we would love to visit again. The warmest recommendations come here from a Danish couple on Christmas vacation.

Beautiful restaurant with a huge selection and very tasty food

Super friendly staff, very tasty food, great value for money. Very dog ​​friendly. All in all great. Always my pleasure.

Very nice restaurant, great interior, great staff, super friendly, great food.

You can only write POSITIVE things. Food prepared very well and tasty and the quantity is plentiful. You will be served quickly and friendly. In terms of price, I would say it is in the middle range.

Inner leaker and fully prepared live

I was very pleasantly surprised that, at my request, I even got food that wasn't on the menu... very tasty and great service

Authentic Chinese with friendly and attentive staff 👍

Unfortunately, after the owner changed, the restaurant is no longer as it was. The staff isn't exactly friendly. After eating we (3 people) were all sick. We wouldn't eat here again. Sorry

It was beautiful and it was delicious

My work colleague and I were there for the first time. The food was very tasty. The service was also good. In any case, you can still miss it.

That's 19 euros!!! The sauce is only for dipping. For 19 euros you could expect a little more sauce!

Very good food. Not 0/8/15 Chinese where all sauces taste the same. Clear recommendation.

Was here for the first time with my family and I was thrilled when I walked in the front door. Such a nice atmosphere. I immediately felt comfortable. The food was delicious, the service was super nice. Thank you. We'll be back.😍

Today we celebrated my mother's 90th birthday and were treated to a lot of delicious food

Friendly staff and good food. Just really great

The food is very good and the service always very nice.

Very nice welcome and super friendly staff!! The restaurant looks beautiful. The food was excellent and very tasty. We would love to come back.

Very good food and really good service, the food comes very quickly but still tastes very good, highly recommended.

A good Chinese restaurant with typical decor and friendly service. The food has always been good. We also ordered the Peking duck once and loved it!

The spring rolls are great 👍 and then the duck, a poem.

Can happily recommend the Orchid Palace. The food was delicious, the atmosphere is very nice, I've been going to this restaurant for over 30 years.

We ordered the menu rice platter for two people. First there was a starter and then a dessert. We were able to try things out here and we thought everything was good, it's something for people who like meat, vegetables aren't really available We enjoyed every bite. For what you get, the prices are incredibly good and the team is very hospitable. Exchanging food was no problem.

My girlfriend and I discovered this inviting and authentic-looking Chinese restaurant while walking through Barmbek and grabbed two seats outside. We both chose the menu of the week consisting of three courses and a small salad for a very fair price. The small salad was beautifully decorated and also really fresh and tasty. The soup as a starter was well seasoned and had a lot of content in the form of chicken and champions. For the main course there was perfectly crispy baked chicken with spicy Thai curry and definitely more than enough of it. The dessert in the form of black rice with vanilla ice cream crowned the whole thing with the hot and cold combination. All in all, we enjoyed our evening at the Orchid Palace from start to finish. Only a small shower forced us to move indoors. This one is actually really beautiful and decorated in detail. We will definitely come back to enjoy the first-class combination of good prices, friendly service, delicious food and nice ambience!

About twenty years ago, went there once a month. The furnishings still feel the same. Unfortunately, the food - vegetarian fried rice and sweet and sour fish (outside the house) was no longer convincing. The sweet and sour sauce was too thin (like soup) and I could count the pineapple pieces on one hand. The fried rice tasted burnt, which was also evident in the vegetables. Very unfortunate...

Friendly and nice service. Delicious food 🙂

Very tasty lunch with a large selection. Very nice service

Super tasty and very friendly. We got 3 things on the house that evening 😲 Only the atmosphere is a bit cheap due to plastic lamps, for example. But you can overlook that.

There is no one better. We've been going there for years.

Super nice, great food, very friendly staff

Delicious food at moderate prices. Great ambience

Duck with beat noodles very tasty. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Old school Chinese restaurant as I know it from before! I visited it for the first time when I was almost 23 years old. Now I'm 54 and I felt like I was in the time machine! What I don't want to be understood negatively. Nice, courteous service and there's nothing to complain about the food either!

Our regular Chinese in Barmbek. Very authentic Cantonese cuisine and very nice staff. Clear recommendation: the Mapo tofu ;) Always my pleasure!

Chinese lunch. 0815. Doesn't have to be

Very good atmosphere and very courteous staff. Mega child-friendly and fair price, I can only recommend it 👍

Beautiful restaurant with a special atmosphere. The food tasted delicious and the service was very friendly and helpful. I liked the Chinese traditional design of the restaurant, really unique. Definitely recommended!!!

I drive past here all the time and thought we'd give it a try, there's always a lot of people there. The best thing was the free salad beforehand, fresh and crunchy. Everything from then on was just disappointing. Vegetarian spring rolls tasted like meat, probably fried in the same fat. Asian curry bags were simply store-bought samosas, also with plenty of meat flavor. We thought the main courses would be like the fresh salad again because it wasn't bought like the starter. Dish 1, fried noodles with chicken. We specifically asked if there were vegetables as they weren't explicitly mentioned in the menu. This would confirm that there are some vegetables in it. Except for onions, there was none. The chicken also came fried, we sent it back for advice and more vegetables. Second round was just such a joke. The waiter then told us that we had to say what we wanted when we ordered?? Then why do you ask? And €16 for that, some rice and barely cooked chicken. No thanks. Dish 2 Vegetable curry in the wok. Everything was very greasy and sappy. There was no quality here The whole meal then sat like a stone in my stomach. At least no poisoning. We won't go here again. Not recommendable

Good atmosphere and the food was also very tasty. I had a beef dish... I've never had such tender beef in a Chinese dish. My friends too; where I tried had very tasty and great dishes. The selection is very large. I wish everyone bon appetit in the Orchid Palace

Food was very tasty, reasonable portions. Let's come back)

Nice service, good food, mostly for lunch for decades. Ferry prices

As an "old" Barmbek woman, I always enjoy coming to this restaurant, it's not comparable to the buffet restaurants. The atmosphere is great, people are always friendly and the food is great. This evening I'm back with a friend and I'm as happy as a little child ☺️

Mostly everything is good. But today the soup wasn't hot and the waiter didn't come by once to ask for further requests or anything like that. It used to be better.

Eat deliciously. Friendly. We'll be back. Update: been there several times. A recommendation remains!

It is an absolutely top restaurant. Everything at a high level. Service 1A Ambiance 1A Food 5 stars We'll be back 😁

Cozy Chinese restaurant, good food and the service is good

Very tasty food, friendly service. I'd love to come back!

Love the ambience for sure... The place is large enough that people shouldn't have to sit totally close to each other, yet we received right next to a couple that was obnoxious. Oh well we will come back and look for better placing.

I have been visiting the restaurant for over 20 years. The food is good and it is enough for a normal guest. The facility is not special. The music could be a little quieter. This made the piano a bit annoying.

Great food, great service, great ambience. Highly recommended

The Orchid Palace is like a trip back in time. I've been coming here for years and the food still tastes just as I remember it. The ambience is very nice. The music is at just the right volume. It's a typical Chinese restaurant. The selection on the menu is a bit too big for me. I can never decide and always order the same thing. But of course that's up to me. The sanitary facilities were fine and clean. Suggestions for improvement: The waiter (older gentleman) could have been a little more courteous or more interactive. He seemed disinterested and cold. In between, no one came to ask if the food was tasty.

Very good Chinese, food very tasty, staff all very nice.

Was there for the first time, lunch on Sunday. Very friendly service and I would like to order everything when it comes to food. Very tasty and good portions. Thank you very much 😊

The Orchid Palace is a long-established restaurant specializing in Chinese cuisine. The ambience is nice and the food is plentiful and very good. All dishes are also available to pick up at home! The service is very nice, competent and very fast. The food is nice and hot, even if you take it home and the journey is longer. The prices are also very good and justified. We just paid thirty-four euros for three take-away dishes! I would say great. We had dish 14 twice, the baked fish, and dish 12, the eight delicacies!

Very tasty food, decor like a classic Chinese, not like a fast food local

Good Chinese, even has some dim sum starters, and char siuw roasted pork, and action weeks with warm Japanese cuisine, highly recommended. There are some authentic dishes on the menu and it is well worth eating through the menu.

Nice Asian restaurant. There is a large selection here, from Thai dishes to (German) Chinese dishes, at reasonable prices. The dishes are sometimes served in a halved pineapple and are visually appealing. The ambience is what you would imagine traditionally Chinese to be, with lots of golden elements. Unfortunately, the gold has already rubbed off a bit in some places and the koi pond unfortunately no longer fits the time period because it is simply too small.

We have eaten there many times, but unfortunately the quality is declining. Yesterday we were there again and both of us were in bed with food poisoning! We had different dishes. Unfortunately we will never come back.

We were too happy. Portion could have been a LITTLE larger... but it was super tasty. We will definitely go again. The salad beforehand was really great, the main course was delicious as was the dessert. Hmm yum yam. Could go back straight away :) best Chinese restaurant in a long time! Now it remains our main restaurant ♡

Nice ambience. Invites you to linger. Food is top.

A very nice restaurant, friendly staff and animal friendly prices, good food was recommended :)

Food is really delicious! Worthwhile.

I've been there twice and was very casual again. The woman who served us (probably also the boss) is always nice and quick. You sit on gutter tables and the whole ambience is great. Starters, soups and main courses were very good. Main courses are really not expensive.

I always like to go there because of the friendliness and the good food. Price is good too.

Rediscovered last year. Went there for lunch today. It's nice that you can choose to order the dish as is or alternatively with "soup/spring roll or salad first" or "mixed ice cream" for dessert. It's also nice that there is still a Chinese restaurant that still looks like it used to, just beautiful. Food was delicious as usual, service was nice. It's also a good thing that my Italian friend was thrilled, Italians, like the French, attach great importance to good food 😉. Had sweet/sour duck, meat was tender, juicy, just good, we'll be back...

Haven't been there for almost two decades and were very surprised to have a great meal again in a cozy atmosphere. Very clean, good food and friendly staff. Price performance is consistent. Gladly again.

The food was nothing special, but the ambience was very nice and the service was good

The food is top! Been coming here for years!

Very, very, very, very tasty, over and over again.

You can also have very good traditional Chinese food

Order in advance via phone and then quick and friendly pickup on site, with a mask of course. Hand sanitizer is available at the entrance. The food is still the best Chinese food in all of Hamburg

Good Chinese, not the typical Asian mix of today. Delicious Chinese, just like before. Unfortunately, the portions are a bit small and the food is a bit overpriced. The price-performance ratio is not ok.

The food came quickly and tasted good. It was cozy and we would like to eat there again.

The food was great, from starters to main courses everything was delicious and fresh, we were just too full for dessert. The beef with coarse pepper was very tender and flavorful. Wok Nyonya style was plentiful and the fish tender with enough prawns. The staff was very friendly. There was a welcome drink and a starter salad for free. Price performance great.

Varied menu. Also nice menu suggestions. The food tastes excellent. And the little salad first: Hmmm! The prices are OK. The service is friendly and attentive. If you like Chinese, you will find a recommended restaurant here. I am now a regular customer.

I love being there. It's always a bit like a short vacation, even if I'm only there to pick up something, then the service staff manages to take me into a completely different world for a few minutes. You quickly notice that there are very nice people who work here. The food is also very tasty, but I would also like to go if there was no food there.

Very tasty food and a typical ambience that is rarely found today. 😁

Very friendly and fast service, delicious lunch, thank you very much

The reason I only give 1 star is because you never receive a proper invoice, but rather a sum is thrown at you by scribbling on paper. You have to request an invoice separately, but then you still don't get a real invoice, just a cash register printout with the heading "INFO BELEG". This means that the cash receipt can be deleted at any time! 😵‍💫🫣🤨 They don't actually need something like that because the restaurant is always almost full at lunchtime, because the food is still good value for money, even though the portions in 2023 are smaller and contain less meat than before. You get full, but I don't really want to get full from the rice....

The restaurant has lots of dark wood and red and of course stained glass, so basically the perfect cliché of a Chinese restaurant. I love it. The staff was very friendly, professional and quick. I got a seat without a reservation, even though the restaurant filled up quickly and noticeably. I had the S3: lacquered and crispy pork with plum sauce, vegetables and rice. It was simpler, just super tasty and terrific. The Peking soup beforehand was also very good. I would order this again and again.

I really like everything here. The atmosphere, the quality of the food and also the ambience.

We have been going there regularly for many years and have had nothing but the best experiences. Lunch is also recommended.

It was delicious. I was surprised that I had to ask for chopsticks instead of a fork. The atmosphere in the restaurant is magical

We celebrated a relative's birthday there. Even though we were a large company, we were served friendly and quickly. The menu is very extensive and there is something for every taste. The restaurant is very nice.

By far the best "sweet and sour chicken" I've ever eaten...the ambience is also very nice...only the service could have been a little more attentive

TOP, the food is great, the service is quick and very attentive. My favorite is the sweet and sour chicken. There is also a lunch menu .My husband and I love it .Thank you

I eat here from time to time and can recommend the restaurant without hesitation! It's always tasted good so far.

There's nothing more to say.... Foul greeting, we don't talk about food.

The taste of the food was good. Which bothered me a bit the ratio is a large amount of meat to very little sauce and vegetables. Otherwise everything in the restaurant was fine.

Super tasty and really nice service, awesome as always.

Delicious dishes and a large selection of more special dishes. Homemade spring rolls and wontons.
