Surfkitchen Am Kaiserkai 1 in Hamburg

Turned away for no reason when five of us showed up on Sunday. Many tables were free. Then the evaluation is easy.

We were there yesterday and were unfortunately very disappointed. There wasn't a big selection on the menu, just pasta and pizza (no burgers, which we were actually looking forward to, or currywurst). In my opinion the pizza wasn't worth €15. Mine was swimming in fat and the dough on all of the pizzas wasn't baked through. The tables are quite close together, but otherwise the ambience was quite sweet. A positive highlight was the dip for the pizza, which was very tasty (very garlicky but therefore great).

Were there at the end of October, no space, they were sent further because there was another branch down the street and no other branch was found.

Price/performance ratio is okay, the ambience is great - you immediately feel at home in the 80's surf setting. Check it out, it's worth it

Had our Christmas party there. Good food, every wish was fulfilled. It was fun 🤩👍🍻

The location and the ambience are very cool. The service was also relaxed. But a loveless bagel with some avocado and two tomatoes for €12 is a lot. My girlfriend had three pancakes with a few blueberries (loveless and without decoration or anything) for €13 is also steep. So eating nothing special but very expensive!

Mega Pizza super freundliche Mitarbeiter. Nett eingerichtet, für uns ein Geheimtipp in Hamburg. Wir kommen wieder, versprochen.

I can only recommend it, I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

They treated us horribly. Kinda felt a bit racist because we were Americans. NOT recommend.

Discovered while strolling and based on the clientele, my two boys found it good from the outside. Why, well, it's either chic or rather "exuberant" when the boys are still too young. If you're ignorant, it doesn't seem to be so easy for families with normal incomes to come to Hamburg. In short, the food was great and the way we were treated was perfect! The ambience was rather simple, but it didn't spoil the stay. The prices were affordable for this area. Here I come again! Enjoy your meal. . .

Very nice staff, cool atmosphere and delicious food, both breakfast and dinner.

There were a lot of empty tables and we had chosen a small spot where we could park the stroller outside the aisle right at the table. The stroller would not have been in the way of staff or guests - we were still directed to park the stroller at the front of the door. We left the store straight away - it's a shame, it's not very child-friendly. If the store had been overcrowded I would have understood that - unfortunately not at all.

Good food, nice atmosphere! Super friendly staff!

The Surf Kitchen in Hamburg is a simple restaurant with a few seats. The food was very good. Fresh and quickly prepared. My son "swears" it was the best carbonara sauce he's ever tasted. Price-performance ratio is right. The service gets a point deducted because the staff sat in the entrance area for private conversations, not far from the guests. Nothing against private conversations, but preferably discreetly behind the bar and not directly audible and visible to everyone. There is also a point deduction for the ambience. The store was simply too full of decorations for me, too overloaded.

Cool location! We were here for breakfast. I thought the selection was good. The food was delicious, fresh and well prepared. Price-performance is definitely right. Another visit will follow.

Plentiful and very tasty breakfast with a nice outdoor ambience!

Overall, a great experience that I would definitely recommend. However, the pizza doesn’t quite align with traditional Neapolitan pizza. I ordered a Margherita, and while it tasted good, the tomato sauce was different from the usual Neapolitan flavor, the cheese seemed to be Gouda rather than Fioro di Latte, and the dough was not typical. The pizza was delicious, but it shouldn’t be marketed as Neapolitan.

Right in the middle... pure Hafencity. When the weather is nice, it's a great place to enjoy a bit of maritime Hamburg in the sun. The food is good and fairly priced for the location. The mixed drinks were very good: Lillet Wild Berry and Aperol Spritz were mixed very well. Pizza and sandwich tasted good. The pasta was very good. The service was nice and uncomplicated. All in all, highly recommended. No matter whether you want to enjoy a bit of “your” Hamburg or are looking for a pleasant place to take a break while on a tour: you are in good hands here.

Food was great! Service OK so far. We were well fed 🤭

We won't come anymore. Short and sweet: Prices: are mostly too expensive. Staff: Service would rather argue with the kitchen/chef than ask if we want to eat something?! We wanted! Ambiance: very nice Drink: We probably would have ordered something if we had been asked?! All in all, unfortunately not recommended. It's a shame because the restaurant is very nicely decorated.

Super schlechter Service, essen ging so , Ambiente hat mir nicht gefallen. Ich werde dort nicht wieder hingehen.

Delicious food and a beautiful view while sitting outside

I was here 3 years ago, was very enthusiastic back then, but now I'm more than negatively shocked. You look forward to a spaghetti carbonara all day and then get ham and cream spaghetti. More cream than anything else. Instead of pieces of bacon, cook ham in large pieces. This is not carbonara! Any Italian would feel insulted here. The pizza is dripping in oil and practically floating on the plate. I don't even want to start with the cleanliness. Very rustic furniture, cobwebs as far as the eye can see, including spiders all over you. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend it, I won't come here again.

The food was excellent, although quite expensive. The beautiful views make the experience special, but reservations are essential. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired - the staff didn't seem very friendly, and waiters who weren't responsible for our table ignored even short inquiries. Nevertheless, the excellent taste of the food made up for the weaknesses in the service.

Nice to see, three out of four pizzas came at different times and unfortunately the pizzas were really not good.

The waiter with the pigtail told us that the riverside tables "were closed for us" and 5 minutes later, he allowed other customers who had not booked to sit. He came across as very grumpy and rude. I strongly advise against this place for those who want to spend a meal or an aperitif at ease. Let's move on to drinking: warm beer. Place failed from all points of view.

Really horrible food. Unambitious, bored service. Uncomfortable atmosphere. Absolutely not recommended. Never again!!!

Had a very nice meal here, all the food looked excellent, the service was good and the prices fair.

Soooo delicious!!! You can't even decide what to eat. Everything looks so great!

Great location! Waiters were very attentive and friendly. Food was tasty but expensive.

We waren al ruim een uur aan het wachten op ons eten. Terwijl 2 tafels die na ons kwamen al wel eten hadden. toen we naar ons eten vroegen ( nadat de serveerster ons eerst 3x negeerde ) werd gezegd dat het met 15 minuten klaar was. Na 20 minuten kwamen er 2 gerechten( van de 5). De andere 3 kwamen 15 minuten later. Tussendoor is er niet geïnformeerd dat het wat langer zou duren of een broodje oid aangeboden. Ze lieten ons gewoon zitten. De pasta met kip en pittige pepperoni van mijn man ( aanbeveling van de dag) had geen pepperoni. Toen mijn man dat aangaf werd zijn bord weggehaald en kreeg het 5 minuten later terug met wat gesneden pepper ringen erop. Toen hij weer zei dat er geen pepperoni op zat werd zijn bord aangepakt, maar niet verteld wat er zou gebeuren. We zijn maar opgestaan en hebben betaald, minus zijn gerecht. De pasta en ravioli waren verder niet erg smaakvol. De pizza was wel goed. Geen aanbeveling dit “restaurant “

Delicious food, great location - still sun even in the late afternoon.

Hip shop in the style of a beach bar. Very nicely done. The service was friendly and what we ordered came quickly. Food was perfectly fine and solid. Price performance was right

The food (bowls) was delicious, but unfortunately the service was very bad. Our reserved table was apparently not free, even though no one was sitting there after 2 hours. Things were brought incorrectly. When I asked that I actually had the cappuccino with oat milk, I was told yes, even though it was wrong.

We got their curry wurst, egg drop sandwich, and pizza. Pizza was chewy and doughy but we would have preferred it crispy. Wiener is nice. Staffs are friendly. Atmosphere of the stall is cosy, especially at night. Waiter looks like mbappe.

Great place, tasty pizza, lemonade and deserts. Friendly & lovely suff.

Drinks delicious, food mediocre and too expensive

One waiter yelled at customers. Another threw up his hands proudly when the online menu did not load. Your problems. We can't help. As you understand, it wasn’t time to eat anymore.

Schönes Restaurant direkt am Wasser mit Fancy Gerichten und schön angerichteten Tellern. Leider wurden 2 von 4 Gerichten falsch serviert bzw. es wurden Elemente vergessen. Preis-Leistung könnte etwas besser sein aber ansonsten sehr stimmig.

We wanted to eat there with the family on Sunday in a good mood. But would be yelled at by the waiter and given very poor service. So we changed the location and come never again!!!!

Thank you for the perfect Saturday breakfast!

Great restaurant, very nice courteous service, great food

Sehr nettes Personal speditive und top😊🤩 Essen Top Top Kann ich nur empfehlen Man sitzt direkt am Wasser tolle aussicht auf den Hafen

Das Egg Drop Avocado Sandwich ist ein absolutes Geschmackserlebnis und nur zu empfehlen! Würden sofort wieder kommen 🤩🤘🏽

Food is okay, but prices are way too high (almost €20 for a pizza?). You pay for the location. However, service is terrible - our waiter forgot 3(!) things and instead of taking the orders, he prefers to insult passers-by with “pitchy” comments.

Very nice restaurant right on the water. The new Neopolitan pizzas are super delicious. Light, fluffy with a great taste! Plus an Aperol and the (quite large and very tasty) tiramisu. A little bit of Italy in the Hafencity!

We cannot understand the reviews that praise the food in any way. We ordered a Korean bowl with chicken and currywurst with wedges. For the bowl, rice, edamane, cabbage and indefinable chicken meat were placed next to each other in a bowl and the meat was poured with ketchup. This was in no way tasty and wasn't even snack quality. For the currywurst, the sausage was okay, the wedges consisted of chopped baked potatoes. My complaint about the quality of the food received almost no response.

War für ein kleines Essen ok Haben bei gutem Wetter draußen gesessen. Service war ok. Die Stühle könnten draußen etwas bequemer sein.

Very tasty food with some unusual dishes. And all of this with a harbor view at fair prices. The staff is super nice and accommodating.

Price-performance/quantity wasn't right for all dishes/drinks. But it was very tasty and we felt very comfortable

Top top top. Very nice service, huge portions for a "small" price, beautiful view and the food came quickly. We'll be back ☺️😚☺️😚😚😚☺️☺️

Super delicious lunch with a great view.

I had breakfast there, the food was okay, the price was on the higher side. For a glass of lemonade, for example, 7 euros. We paid almost 70 euros for breakfast for two people.

Food was delicious, staff very friendly. Sat comfortably outside in the sunshine with a view of the water.

We weren't served at all, it seemed like the waitress was ignoring us. We then asked if we could order because we had been sitting there for about 15 minutes without anyone taking our order. The staff's response was unfriendly and derogatory. Then we left without ordering anything because that was just too stupid for us. Not recommended

This *food* is just a disgrace. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken and was extremely disappointed!! The rice tasted extremely like paper/cardboard and the chicken was a complete disgrace, completely soggy and watery. I wonder what you think *fried* means. In addition to an absolute disaster of food, outrageous prices for this food. I advise everyone not to burn their money here!!!!

Price performance ok, the chicken burger is recommended

Lovely food and staff. We had two young children with us and team happy to split currywurst meals to accommodate. Definitely recommend surf kitchen.

The selection of drinks was good and so was the preparation. The location right on the water is of course great - especially when the weather is good. Still quiet and not too crowded. The service was very nice and attentive. She kept coming back to check if everything was okay.

Great views in Hafencity, unfriendly reception, average cuisine, unclear ordering and serving system...

If you want to sit inside, that's not possible.

Look delicious. Good colorful selection of dishes

Food was good. Waiter a bit aggressive.

Unfortunately, I felt nauseous after today's meal! Too bad and probably never again

Very nice location on the promenade of the Marco Polo Bridge, very humorous service and good food made a very pleasant lunch

We ordered currywurst, eggdrop sandwich and korean fried chicken ricewbowl. The best among these dishes is indeed the eggdrop sandwich. Currywurst tasted normal and ingredients seem cheap. It is not worth it compared to the price, but it tastes ok. But, the worst was korean fried chicken bowl. First of all, the chicken is not even fried. I am sure it is frozen kaarage that you can buy from asian store. The chef just warmed it. They didn’t even bother to fry it properly. Secondly, sauce is supposed to be proper korean soy sauce or gochujang sauce, but instead they just use ketchup. As an asian, I wanna cry looking at the dish and eating it, this is just making me sad. Please do proper research and more works if you want to broaden your menu. All in all, their beverages are the best values out of all. I think this place is good just for drinking and enjoying the view. Otherwise, try to stick on what they do best. Customer service is good.

A very nice restaurant with a great view of the water! Lovingly presented, friendly staff. You can see that the work here is done with heart.

Unfortunately, the older waiter with gray hair is very unsympathetic.

We recently visited Surfkitchen and unfortunately were very disappointed with our stay. Although the ambience scores with a beautiful view of the Hafencity, the culinary experience could not save this impression. At the beginning we noticed that the tables had not been cleaned thoroughly. When I kindly asked if the waiter could clean the tables, he came and cleaned them, but the first bad impression remained. We ordered two bowls – one vegan and one with salmon. When the bowls were served, they overflowed because the plates were far too small. The food itself seemed bland and like leftovers from the house's breakfast menu. The salmon was not marinated at all and appeared to have been placed on the plate straight from the packaging. The dressing was obviously bought and didn't go well with the rest of the bowl, which consisted of lettuce leaves and couscous, which was also probably bought ready-made. The baked chickpeas that were advertised were simply tossed in oil and sprinkled with a little pepper. Overall the meal was a big disappointment. When we wanted to pay, the waiter obviously didn't notice that the bowl was almost untouched - a clear sign that the food wasn't tasty. He didn't ask how we were or why the food was returned, which was further disappointing. Ultimately, you pay here mainly for the beautiful location and the view. It was our first and last visit to this restaurant. Maybe we should have ordered a pizza because it looked good to the other guests. Unfortunately, it's a shame.

Food was super tasty, full points. Service - Had a young waiter twice and was totally satisfied, he was courteous and super friendly. Last time (in the morning), a grey-haired, middle-aged waiter was there and when we sat down outside 5 minutes before opening, he immediately said that it wasn't open yet and we should leave. He immediately said that there were a lot of reservations, when asked where there was no reservation, the answer was that he didn't know and that we should look for another restaurant. His unfriendly manner made it clear that we (family with 7 year olds and grandma) were not welcome with him.

Here you can relax and enjoy delicious pizza with a view of the water. The service is good and the ambience is harmonious.

Food A1, really tasty and really great in terms of taste. Service itself was quite good, food was there within ten minutes. However, if you as a guest experience discrepancies in... If the team notices and sentences are said like “I’m going to stop here and go home”, it’s unfortunately really stupid. May be due to the understaffing. However, a guest should not notice it.

Casual atmosphere and really nice service. Great unusual creations with an addictive factor! Must try: Egg drop sandwich with salmon and avocado Yummy!

Spontaneously sat on the terrace for a little after work evening. Simple food, but very tasty and simply perfect location and ambience. Plus friendly, uncomplicated and cool service. Definitely recommended!

Food was good. Staff was friendly and speaks good english. Ambiance was great too since there’s very little people when we went. We didn’t have to wait long for our food.

Food good, but extremely long waiting time. Bring plenty of time.

If you want to eat something to satisfy your hunger, the view is the right place for you.

Do not order a burger. Horrible and overpriced. Pizza was decent.

Hello, I can fully recommend this location! From the ambience to the price/performance ratio, simply top. The staff is super friendly and orders are delivered quickly. The respective dishes were also super tasty and varied, thank you very much. Now have fun testing😊

The food was very tasty, we can highly recommend the bowls. Also a very tasty homemade lemonade. The restaurant is nicely located, the stability of the tables outside and the comfort of the chairs could be improved. Prices were okay, you get the card at the table using a QR code, which I found very positive because you could then start choosing straight away.

Chic location right on the water in HafenCity. However, the price/performance ratio doesn't really match. Service was nice and friendly.

Coincidentally, while strolling past and looking for food, I ended up in this great shop. Food great, service great, ambience great, music great! We can only recommend it and will come back. Keep it up!

Really good food, fast service and short waiting time. We were there late on a Sunday, then it was quiet. We ordered pizza, chicken salad and Thai curry chicken.

A must in Hamburg, highly recommended, delicious, delicious food

The selection of drinks and food is large and the location at the port of Hamburg is simply fantastic.

We were kindly given shelter from the heavy rain. When ordering we were informed of financial advantages. And the bowl was also very tasty. Thanks! 😀

Very nice restaurant, very good food and nice service. The Pinsa is purely a genuine recommendation.

First of all: Neapolitan pizza is advertised. Anyone who expects this and is looking forward to it will be disappointed. Neapolitan pizza is simply different. I have never been served a pizza like this in any of the usual Neapolitan pizzerias in Hamburg or in Naples. Regardless, the pizzas were quite tasty. For my personal taste, there are mushrooms on too many pizzas, but the fact that I don't like them is my "problem". What I really found negative was the cleanliness of the toilets. We were the only ones in the restaurant at 5 p.m. and there were the usual laughs of pee in front of the urinals. While the employees were on their cell phones due to a lack of customers, they could have wiped things down or cleaned the sink.

We were at Surfkitchen Essen in August 22nd. Unfortunately, the food and service were disappointing and there was a negative review. In May 23 there was the first attempt to have the negative review deleted. This could be averted. Today, June 24, the review was deleted with allegations of defamation. This much dedication to the PC must be rewarded with 5 stars!

Pizza Tonno was quite large and well topped but that's to be expected for the price. My wife's bowl was quite carelessly prepared and very rice-heavy. Chicken but tasty. Prices probably also due to the good location on the Elbe. Overall just satisfactory/average.

Unfortunately very very unfriendly. 2 customers complained that they didn't get anything because they sat at a free table that was outside.

Unfortunately very stressed. Everything was free outside but if you sat down you were very loudly told to leave the store. Please think critically about manners. I think it's a shame when one person ruins the entire external image.

Great service despite sudden heavy rain. The food is super tasty and the selection is great. A real recommendation when it comes to breakfast. The staff is really nice and very accommodating.

Very good price/performance ratio. Super delicious!! Disadvantage: Hardly any space, too small a distance to the neighboring tables. You have problems even taking a seat at the table

Delicious currywurst, reasonable prices

Super delicious there and great staff!!!

Nice service, the salmon bowl and the pizzas are delicious.

Only drank lemonade. Homemade, it was tasty.

We got stranded here while passing by and had a delicious lunch. The portions are very large, fresh ingredients, homemade sauces. Simply great food. The service was also super friendly and accommodating

Richtig tolles leckeres Frühstück, sehr nette Mitarbeiter!
