To Gao im Suhrhof in Hamburg

If you ever feel the need to throw your money down the drain while getting a lesson in patience, then head to To Gao - a restaurant that sells itself as a culinary journey but is actually a one-way ticket to disaster . I ordered a HANOI PHỞ which came with grand gestures and promises but ultimately just tasted like hot water with a spice slip. My companion, brave as always, chose the "flying noodles". Great cinema for Instagram, yes, a real work of art for the eye, but at the first bite it revealed itself to be a copy of supermarket ready-made pasta with chicken. But To Gao doesn't stop at culinary low points! The service is a masterpiece of invisibility. With an admirable Zen composure, the waiters ignore every need, no matter how obvious - an empty glass, an empty plate - for at least 30 minutes, unless you dare to recall your own existence. And if that wasn't enough, the real highlight came at the end: the inedible soup we had sent back reappeared triumphantly on the bill. It was only removed after persistent inquiries - a real cat-and-mouse game for customer service. Admittedly, we were offered two free desserts. But believe me, even 100 desserts couldn't convince me to enter this establishment again. Now all I can do is hope that my stomach survives the fight against what little I've eaten. With disappointed greetings, HM.

We won't be there for the last time! Friendly service and very tasty food!

Very tasty food. Sorry, the waitress was very busy with her cell phone and simply didn't pay any attention to us. In general, the staff was friendly, but I found that a bit strange during working hours. It would be okay to take a look at it, but for several minutes - it was already well over 5 minutes - I thought ignoring the guest was a bit wrong. In the end, someone else cashed in and pocketed the almost €10 tip. Maybe this will be a lesson to the lady. The food was really good. Mixed tapas for 2 people as a starter and, apart from a salad, only 'finger food' dishes. Plus a Mango Lashi and homemade ginger-mango lemonade. Great!

Food was okay. Some of the sushi falls apart. Mostly it tastes good, but not anymore. The service can clearly be improved: it's nice. Nevertheless: the table is not wiped down in between, despite it being obviously dirty. You wait a long time, even with empty drinks, and you aren't actively asked if you need them. The location is dirty, especially the walls and especially the toilets. But the real drawback: you can only pay in cash or with Paypal (private account). That just screams tax evasion, sorry, but simply not offering correct card payment these days is incredibly cheeky. 1-2 stars (only because food was really okay).

We were there yesterday with 9 people. It was my first time at To Gao and I ordered the T6 and 31, I liked everything very much. Of course there were other different dishes on the table that I admired and tried. Everything looked very nice and tasted even better. Very clean and very nice. THANKS

More appearance than reality. The tuna was well cooked, which borders on animal cruelty.

Lovers Sushi Plate for two people. Nice presentation, taste good but not enough for two people with an appetite. Proud price of 59€. Not recommended. Restaurant cleanliness unsatisfactory.

Delicious dishes at fair prices

Excellent, delicious food, nice staff

The portion and the rice could be a little larger. But neat.

The food was very tasty! The service is friendly, but needs to be experienced. The atmosphere is very good and beautiful. We'd love to come back!

Ambience top food flop Staff super nice Main course was okay, nothing more. The hot sushi with 0.0 percent flavor remained untouched. 3.Lunch/table 2.Hot sushi 3. Small drinks Bill 100 euros This price-performance ratio is just bad!

Very nice atmosphere. The staff is very friendly. The food was very tasty and well prepared. We will be happy to recommend you.

Nice atmosphere. Very friendly people. The service was good and fast. Food is very delicious 😋. For some reasons we could not pay with EC-Card. Fortunately, I was with friends who got cash. So, one star less.

It's quick and tastes great, plus the show on the sushi platter is great.

Really incredibly good sushi! Very fast delivery. Recommendation goes out 🤝

4.90 € for a small Tiger beer from the bottle... Cheers :)

Everything was different and tasted very good. We each ordered a different dish and it was very tasty. Except for the red ginger, which we didn't know, it brought tears to my husband's eyes. Decorated with these. But great.

The food was super tasty and very nicely prepared. I've never eaten such a crispy duck. The food was perfect

I've been to the restaurant several times, but since the official food inspection inspection was published (you can read it on the City of Hamburg's homepage), I wouldn't eat there anymore. The kitchen was in such a disrepair that the restaurant had to close…….

Very friendly staff, delicious food both sushi and other delicious Asian dishes! Recommended!!!

The food is always a pleasure and not just the taste, the look is also great. The homemade lemonade is also highly recommended.

Extremely delicious. Today we had broiled chicken and duck. Delivery was quick and the food was still very hot. I think it's great that you can deselect ingredients that you don't like when ordering.

Stepping through the door you find yourself in a beautiful Asian restaurant with a tree in the middle. The design is well coordinated. The staff is quick and friendly, even if there are occasional difficulties in communication due to special requests. The lemongrass soup was great. Unfortunately, the coconut soup could have used a few more spices. Coconut clearly dominated here. However, in Weiden varieties, very fresh ingredients were used. The dumplings were very good and also interestingly served in a bed of lettuce. There are probably still a few little things to do, but you feel comfortable here and can definitely go here and enjoy a nice day.

Went to the restaurant for the first time with my daughter today. And I have to say it tastes very good 😜 everything was fresh and the plate was full 👍 which is something you don't really know anymore, yes I was pleasantly surprised and so was my daughter And the price is really cheap, we will definitely eat again, kind regards, Ms. Gembries

Food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

The food looks beautifully prepared, but that's where the positive arguments end. The table we sat at was sticky and wobbly. The duck was cold! There was no soy sauce or anything else to refine the Pho. The waitress was long gone so we had to go in to draw attention to ourselves. When paying, the amount is often stated before entering it into the card machine so that you don't forget the tip. There was also a tip. After paying I asked for a second napkin. The waitress looks at me with her headphones in her ear, as if I had asked the lady for something else and the waitress was gone and there was no more napkin. I haven't experienced such bad service in a long time. Want a tip, but can't even manage to bring a napkin! I absolutely cannot understand the positive reviews, stay away from the restaurant.

Absolutely great and above all delicious food! Portion, as it should be and the service was also quick and quick! This will be my favorite restaurant! That's how it was two years ago! Meanwhile, the waiters are annoyed when you come because then they have to put their cell phones away. Unfortunately, I also had the pleasure of seeing a waiter with his bare feet on the table. I have nothing against barefoot, I walk barefoot myself, but does it have to be on the table? No! It's always so slippery in the toilet that you have to be careful not to fall. All in all, the restaurant has changed for the worse for me.

Whether in a restaurant or a delivery service, everything tastes delicious and is always prepared with a lot of love. The menu is unusual and invites you to order something different than usual. The dishes are lovingly garnished and served on unusual dishes. Lunch menu is available until 5 p.m. The homemade lemonades are deliciously appetizing, served and are a real eye-catcher next to the food. The service is great, competent, friendly, smiling. The tables in the restaurant are just as special. Since the restaurant is located in the Surhof, you can also sit outside in the spring and summer in a very nice atmosphere. We would love to eat here again or have food delivered. An extra thank you to Ahmand for the mega-friendly TOP delivery. Thank you very much!

Great Asian cuisine, from sushi to crispy fried duck, all very tasty.

We were there at lunchtime and ordered 2 dishes from the lunch menu. The food came pretty quickly and tasted extremely good. The waitresses were very accommodating and at an absolutely fair price. Thank you.

The main room is really nice, but the toilets are unreasonable and really dirty. The order was taken very quickly, the waiter smiled but unfortunately he hardly understood anything. So our order came first, my friend's coconut soup and my Pho was a long time coming.... then instead of my Pho I can use my sushi instead. Nevertheless, firstly we liked eating together and not being apart for more than 10 minutes, secondly we wanted the soups first and then the sushi. We waited for an eternity and then asked the waiter that the orders were missing and he fetched a colleague. This one was really famous and my pho and my friend's sushi arrived quickly - a shame In terms of taste, the sushi was an A+, very, very tasty! But my Pho had hardly any herbs, no spiciness and little taste - it's my favorite soup, you actually get the soup with the herbs, noodles and chilies to fill yourself with. I was very very disappointed! The coconut soup was a mini soup, a bit sweet but ok. We were very disappointed for the prices :( But sushi (flambéed scallop and sake - simply fantastically delicious)

Friendly service, dishes are beautifully prepared, but unfortunately the noise level is unreasonable. And the prices too high, so sorry.

Food is prepared very attractively! Nice atmosphere. The food has always been very tasty!!!! The lemonades also taste very good!

Phew. What can I say. Unfortunately, the store doesn't understand service at all. The waiters prefer to sit in the corner and fidget on their cell phones instead of taking care of the guests. 15 minutes until you get the card is really slim. With the same bland aftertaste, there was relatively listless, overpriced food. Quality is okay, but sloppy. The room is doing the rest, as it is already uncomfortably loud despite only 14 people. I won't go there again.

Card doesn't encourage me to come back at all...unfortunately. Food completely OK. but nothing special...unfortunately. Ambiance hmmm... staff friendly

We were there yesterday and celebrated our daughter's 16th birthday there. Everything was perfect, I asked the waiter to decorate my daughter's drink because it was her birthday, and they said yes, we'll do it, but it looked As always, it was still nice. When we were finished and wanted to pay, my daughter got a huge surprise from the house. She was really happy🥰🤩👌

Very tasty, small restaurant. The food is fresh and tasted very good. The vegetables were a bit too raw for me. The house lemonade is recommended.

Food great, service great and a very chic atmosphere, great shop. I would love to come back.

There were three of us there. The food was a bomb for all of us. I share the criticism of the service, however, there is much more and it lags behind the standard of the food. But food is 10/10!!

The food is just fantastic! Sushi, crispy duck, spring rolls, dumplings, salads... everything was superbly prepared and tasted great! The service could be friendlier and happier, but it was ok. The ambience is also really nice! Purely from the food: absolute recommendation!

Good food, nice atmosphere. Nice opportunity to eat outside in the courtyard. Prices for the food are ok, the water from the Sodastream for €7.90 is absolute extortion.

My ABSOLUTE favorite Vietnamese, I try all the dishes and they are all simply delicious! Highly recommended ☝🏻😊

Yesterday I ate here for the second time with my friends. Very nice presentation, lots of lettuce, lots of plastic flowers and dry ice. Really very pleasing to the eye. Starter: spring rolls (unfortunately fishy), coconut soup and gyoza. The sushi rice is bland, there were careless ends on the plate for 3 people (65.00 euros!). Ebi dry, Noori leaves like rubber, no ginger. We waited in vain for a waiter who could have brought us more drinks, instead they squatted down behind the counter to play on their cell phones (3 people, photos available but will not be posted here for personal safety reasons) and the table was only opened Request for payment cleared. We wanted to pay separately and had to calculate it ourselves (!!) and, like last time, there was a note on the window - “cash only today” Red wine and Aperol in a white wine glass. The draft beer was delicious! Not again for us.

Very nicely decorated restaurant. The food is solid but nothing special. We had a dish with peanut sauce, which was more like a curry and hardly tasted like peanuts. Everything is beautifully prepared. The service played cards in the kitchen from 8 p.m. and no longer cared about the guests. Very disappointing. We will not visit this restaurant again.

We tried the duck and the sushi from the "lunch table" and were very satisfied. The summer rolls were a bit difficult to eat because of the noodles, but they were ok.

Super delicious, always happy 😁

Something different, gladly again

We ate at To Gao Sushi 🍣 today and were very impressed. Very good food and very friendly staff. Price performance is simply great.

Great restaurant. We were there spontaneously in the evening and had to wait a bit until we got a table, ideally if you reserved a table in advance 😅 Friendly staff and the food was very tasty 😋 Only to recommend ✌🏻

Visited the restaurant on weekdays at lunchtime. It was only when we placed the order that we found out that there was no lunch that day (no reason was given). The food was tasty and looked good, but it cooled down too quickly ("flying noodles"). The table by an outside door was a bit drafty. The staff was friendly.

When you wait for the service staff.

Super great food. Always very tasty. In summer there is a great outdoor terrace in the inner courtyard.

Very nice restaurant, great food and you'll be full. I am completely satisfied and can recommend it! The beautifully prepared food is definitely an experience!

Nice, cozy restaurant! The food is delicious, visually very appealing and rich and the price-performance ratio is right. Good service, no long waiting times.

This was my second visit to this restaurant. The food is excellent and everything seems very fresh. The staff is competent and extremely friendly.

Very nice atmosphere! Everything was very tasty and beautifully prepared! Always my pleasure!

Busy restaurant with Vietnamese food. The food was plentiful and beautifully decorated. It tasted good. The restaurant also offers vegan dishes. Price is good

Really good. Cozy but rustic furnishings. Very, very good service. It should be said that all the employees are very courteous and friendly. Including holding the door open etc. What particularly deserves mention is the young lady who works there. As a restaurateur, I know this very well and of course I can't get out of my own skin, I just have to look at things like that. And to be honest...I haven't experienced anything like this in a long time. Nice welcome, recommendations made, made sure everything was correct after receiving the food, offered more drinks and recommended dessert. We gratefully accepted everything and shared our enthusiasm with the young lady. Great...that's how you want customer service to be. And the whole thing is completely unobtrusive. The food was very tasty, plentiful and well prepared. To emphasize cleanliness in all parts of the building. Only the location is a disaster. Hidden and no parking. So...an insider tip? For me yes. So....try it.

Cosy restaurant with excellent Asian food in the center off Betgedorf.

Nice atmosphere, everything is harmonious. Food was very tasty and everything was fresh. Something for everyone, whether vegan, vegetarian or meat eater. The seating and tables are a bit narrow, at least where we sat. In any case you should reserve a table, luckily it could be difficult.

Great food, quick service. Unfortunately the table wasn't wiped clean.

Tolles Restaurant! Sehr schön eingerichtet nette Mitarbeiter und richtig leckeres Essen.

Sehr leckeres Essen hatten die Lover Platte für 54 Euro für 2 Personen sind mehr als satt geworden. War frisch und 😋 lecker. Eine Erklärung was, was ist wäre das Sahnehäubchen gewesen. Waren nicht zum letzten Mal dort.

Wir sind am 2. Weihnachtstag zum Essen hier gewesen und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Angenehme Asmosphäre und geschmacklich war alles top! Tipp! Unbedingt Nr.100 Lalot probieren wenn ihr dort seit!

Beeindruckende Präsentation der Speisen. Wir hatten zu dritt einen Sushi Vulkan mit Rauch. Alles hat sehr lecker und frisch geschmeckt. Wartezeit war gerade noch OK, der Stuhl auf den ich saß war leider nicht der bequemste und ich empfand es etwas eng zum Gang. Das gute Essen hat aber entschädigt.

Essen leider nicht überzeugt. Fliegende Nudel bestellt, Yum Yum bekommen. Sushi fielen auseinander. Service mit sehr viel Potenzial nach oben. Ambiente ist gut aber verstaubt. Art wie das Essen eingereicht wird, ist ok.

Leitungswasser wird als Marke Wasser für 7-8€ verkauft, unverschämt!!! Das Essen wird Sehr lecker, und spektakulär vorbereitet, große Auswahl . Minus Punkt , Schuhe die gehören zu Personal und dort rumliegen 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Wir hatten eine gute Hanoi Pho und eine knusprige Ente mit Curry und Kokossauce. Dazu Ingwer-, Tee mit Honig. War alles sehr lecker.

Bietet solide und durchaus geschmacklich überzeugende Asiatische Küche. Der Service konnte leider garnicht überzeugen.

Für eine echt kleine Suppe 6€ zu Verlagen ist echt heftig. Extrem teuer für so eine Menge. 150ml suppe oder sogar weniger. Sommerrollen hatten keinen geschmeckt und waren so angerichtet dass die so am Teller geklebt haben. War schwer zu essen keine deko mix. Ich bin das 1. Mal da gewesen mit meinem Freund und bin echt enttäuscht. Freut mich dass andere zufrieden sind aber mein Geld ist mir zu Schade es dort noch mal auszugeben. Also Preisleistungs Verhältnis....Eher Mau..sorry.

Immer leckeres und gesundes Essen und Getränke

Die Hauptgerichte sind sehr lecker. Die hauseigenen Limos sind auch köstlich. Ambiente ist schick. Einziges Manko ist das Sushi (zu groß gerollt für klassisches Sushi) Service ist gut!

Leckeres Essen, wunderschön angerichtet. Man wird nur schnell nach draußen gebeten, wenn man fertig ist. Das macht es ungemütlich.

Das Restaurant ist sehr klein und versteckt in einem Hinterhof. Wir hatten noch einen Platz für 3 Personen bekommen obwohl wir nicht reserviert haben, das war sehr gut. Der erste Eindruck war jetzt nicht ganz so positiv, die Tische waren nicht gesäubert worden und klebte leider auch. Die Speisekarte war auf jeden Fall recht groß, tolle Auswahl auch für Vegetarier/Veganer. Ich hatte eine kleine Kokossuppe mit Tofu und Maki Sushi mit Avocado. Es schmeckte beides hervorragend. Insgesamt kann ich den Laden weiterempfehlen.

Etwas versteckt im Suhrhof gelegen. Bein Reinkommen wirkt es etwas muffig und dunkel, im Sommer kann man bestimmt auch gut draußen sitzen. Innen wirkt es etwas outdated. [weil auch Tische und Stühle nicht wirklich zueinander passen: wenn man zu zweit nebeneinander am Tisch sitzt, hat man nicht wirklich viel Platz, weil die Stühle einfach so breit [oder Tisch zu schmal] sind und nicht unter den Tisch passen], aber es geht irgendwie. Es gibt ein paar Lunchoptionen als Mittagstisch, ich hab mal wider die Phó mit Tofu probiert: Die Brühe war prima, schmeckt wie frisch aus Hühnerbrühe gekocht [so auch auf der Karte angegeben], der Tofu in der Einlage war reichlich und lecker angebraten. Top! Sprossen und frische Zwiebeln waren direkt in der Suppe, Chili und Zitrone gab's extra dazu. Service war voll ok und freundlich. Ergo: Ambiente ausbaufähig, Essen super. Komme gern mal wieder, am liebsten im Sommer.

Sehr schön gestaltetes Essen. Feine Auswahl an Gerichten! 1 Stern muss ich abziehen, da die Küche sweet chili sauce serviert, schmeckt wie die fertige aus der Flasche. Und für dumplings, bowls etc. gehören Soja Essig oder Limetten Fischsoße o.Ä. einfach dazu. Das hat leider gefehlt und macht was mit dem Geschmackserlebnis.. kommt irgendwie so als würde man Bratensoße durch Ketchup ersetzen 🤡 Insgesamt aber alles sehr frisch und lecker zubereitet!

Essen ist sehr lecker und das Restaurant sehr schön aufgemacht. Preis Leistung stimmt auch.

Leckere asiatische Küche! So stellt man sich Asien vor. Das Personal ist freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Einrichtung ist schlicht aber geschmackvoll! Nur die Sitzbänke sind etwas unbequem. Die Stühle dagegen sind sehr bequem.

Das Essen und auch die Getränke sind wirklich ausgezeichnet. Wer asiatisch mag, ist dort am richtigen Platz. Mich sieht man dort wieder 😊

An einem schönen Wetter würde ich die Tische draußen empfehlen. Man kann während des essen so richtig die Seele baumeln lassen ☆ Essen tiptop, Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt!

Wir waren 5 Mädels und sowohl von den Getränken, Essen und Service begeistert. Wir kommen wieder

Sehr leckeres Essen und ein toller Service, kommen gerne wieder.

10,90€ für einen Sommersalat, der innerhalb von 3 Gabeln aufgegessen war? Super unangebrachter Preis. Einfach nur Abzocke für die Portion. Da gehen wir nie wieder essen.

Wir waren heute das erste mal dort, wir wollten mal etwas neues ausprobieren. Das Restaurant selbst ist super schön eingerichtet, man wird nett empfangen und zum Tisch gebracht. Wir bestellten uns Sommerrollen Vorab und ein Nudelgericht wie auch ein Gericht mit gebratenen Reis. Die Sommerrollen waren innerhalb von 30 Sekunden nach der Bestellung auf den Tisch, wir waren schon verwundert, dass es so schnell ging. Die Sommerrollen selbst waren okay. Folgend kam unser Hauptgericht nicht einmal 5-7 Minuten später, das Essen war wirklich schön angerichtet und machte einen super Eindruck, doch der Geschmack und die Gerichte selbst enttäuschten in jeder Hinsicht… Reisgericht für ca 16€ mit Rinderfleisch - kleine Portion Reis (sah mehr aus als es ist aufgrund das unter dem Reis alles am Gemüse lag), der Reis selbst war durch total durchtränkt und matschig, somit auch kein leckerer gebratener Reis. Das Fleisch war allerdings gut. Beim Nudelgericht ganz anders.. die Nudel waren zwar sehr appetitlich angerichtet, allerdings nur lauwarm bzw. kalt. Gleichzeitig waren die Nudel wie aus der YumYum Packung, schmeckten auch genauso und wieder auch nur eine Mini Portion. Alles in einem, wir würden hier nicht nochmal essen gehen, denn nur weil ein Gericht schön hergerichtet aussieht und die Optik vom Restaurant sehr einladend ist, muss der Geschmack aber auch stimmen, vorallem bei solchen Preisen! Da haben wir deutlich günstiger und lecker gegessen und mit einer großen Portion :). Lg

Habe eine Nudelsuppe mit Rind (Pho Bo) probiert - die war lecker.

Waren heute mal wieder dort.Das bestellte Essen war wieder super lecker und optisch toll angerichtet.Die Bedienung wirkte gelangweilt und spielte lieber mit dem Handy.Wir saßen draußen in dem tollen Innenhof, aber um die Tische und an der Lokalwand, direkt neben den Tischen,alles voll Kippen,zerknüllte Servietten,Zigarettenverpackungen,Glasscherben….zudem die verschmutzten Fenster ….da sollte schnellstens etwas gemacht werden….

Meine Frau und ich waren letztes Jahr ziemlich begeistert vom Essen und vom Service. Heute leider überhaupt nicht. Die Portionen der Hanoi-Pho-Suppe waren nur halb so groß und hatten kaum Geschmack. Für die portionsgröße und den fehlenden Geschmack, haben wir leider den gleichen Preis wie die ''Normale'' Größe bezahlt. Da hat das Preis-leistungsverhältnis leider überhaupt nicht gepasst. Die Sommerrollen waren hingegen ganz gut. Es hat sehr lang gedauert bis wir bestellen und zahlen konnten und selbst die standart Softgetränke wie Cola oder Spezi, haben leider überhaubt nicht geschmeckt :( Sonst gehen wir immer sehr gerne zu Togao aber heute wurden wir leider nur enttäuscht

Das Sushi dort ist super lecker 😍👍🏼 Auch andere Gerichte sind frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Ambiente ist super 👌🏼 Der Service lieb und aufmerksam.

It’s a great place with amazing food! We love it!
