Ukitchen in Hamburg

Good luck! I'll be back soon. Good luck! Unfriendly restaurant, especially the owner. No compassion for the workers – the food is nothing special either! I'm giving this restaurant one star because too many Vietnamese people have given this restaurant extremely poor reviews!

everything and the food is so bad

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Shortly after eating, I developed stomach issues and felt unwell for the rest of the day — which makes me seriously question the freshness and hygiene of the food. On top of that, the staff were unfriendly and unhelpful, showing no interest in customer service. I wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t be coming back.

The food was good, but not outstanding. The yellow sauce was more like a soup, which spoiled the taste. The service was very friendly and authentic, which counteracted the simple ambiance.

We've been there a few times now, it's always delicious, the location by the Colonnades is perfect and the value for money is right too.

We made a reservation well in advance, but the day before the appointment, we were canceled via email for no reason. We wanted to go there for the first time, but definitely not again. We'd rather stick with the best Asian restaurant, Samui, in Hamburg.

We had a delicious meal here. Great service!

Everything was great, very tasty, and fast service. Highly recommended.

Very good food, attentive and friendly service. Excellent value for money.

Very nice! The food was delicious and arrived quickly. The service was excellent too.

The food was genuinely delicious, but unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. There was an older woman working as a server today who couldn't speak either English or German. She was very rude and shouted at us during our visit. Even more shockingly, as we were leaving, she began yelling loudly in the middle of the street in a very aggressive and unprofessional manner. It's a real shame because the quality of the food was excellent.

Great vietnamese food in a cosy atmosphere! The perfect location to recharge your batteries after a tiring day or to hang around with friends. Highly recommended!

I ordered takeout and the service was pleasant and quick. Unfortunately there were insect eggs (apparently green bug eggs) in my bowl. I only saw it at the end, which really bummed me out.

Super super delicious!! Always my pleasure

Beef pho and Hue soup were okay, nothing noteworthy. Disorganised staff resulting in unnecessary extra waiting

Awesome spot for Vietnamese food. Super cozy bottom level location. Large portions and plenty of options.

The food is really delicious, the portions of the main courses are large, definitely a recommendation.

Lunch was super tasty and inexpensive. Would eat here more often.

Eating for a quickie. Anyone who expects great warmth here will notice the cool north. But that's not the concept! Great food and very good service. You want more!

Fantasische Küche, sehr freundliches und aufgestelltes Personal und schöne Location! Rund um super! Würden sofort wieder kommen.

Very good Vietnamese restaurant.

Attentive, friendly service. Food was good, the coconut soup was extra tasty

We went spontaneously on Saturday evening and got a nice place. Very friendly service. The fresh ginger tea could be sweetened to your own taste (honey came separately). Even though there were a lot of guests there, it was a quiet atmosphere

Super delicious 😋...it was a really nice evening and simply brilliant traditional food, thank you...we'll be back as soon as we're back in Hamburg

The food and service was great 💪🏽

I ordered Chicken Nuss to pick up. Here on the menu it costs 16.90, I paid 22.90. It was watery, very few vegetables and 6 euro more expensive that I expected. I feel robbed. Besides that, the service is always very unkind.

The food was very tasty, definitely again.

Very, very tasty Vietnamese food in the basement near the Alster. Despite the rooms being really full at lunchtime, the food is on the table quickly and prepared super fresh. The tempura chicken is definitely the crispiest I've ever had! No matter what dish it is, it looks as delicious as it tastes. Definitely recommended!

We dropped in on short notice after seeing the solid reviews and decided to go for the lunch menu — two quick mains, one with tofu in a lemongrass sauce and veggies, and I went with the crispy chicken in red curry with rice. Service? Lightning fast. Food? Decent, but didn’t exactly sweep us off our feet. To keep it short: both sauces felt a bit tame, almost flat. The red curry coconut sauce was on the watery side, and the veggie mix could’ve used more variety — zero cauliflower, barely any broccoli. As for the tofu dish, the tofu itself was pretty sparse compared to the generous portion of crispy chicken on my plate. Bottom line: price-to-portion ratio is okay, especially considering the central Hamburg location. We left full, but those 4.8-star reviews? A bit of a mystery to us. If you’re in the mood for a no-fuss Vietnamese lunch with zero surprises, this spot won’t let you down — just don’t expect fireworks.

The food was great. Very very tasty. Unfortunately I have to deduct one star because the tables inside are too close to each other. I can understand that you want to give as many guests as possible the opportunity to dine, but you don't have enough privacy to linger comfortably.

The food was very good. However, the service is more reminiscent of a fast food restaurant - handling without much friendliness. My order was only answered: "Number?". It was also cleared away super quickly. The obvious goal: quickly reoccupy the table. If you don't value good service, you'll be happy with the culinary delights here.

Very tasty food at fair prices. Location is great, we got a spot spontaneously without any problems. Service is extremely friendly and warm!

Hervorragende Küche, nette Bedienung sehr aufmerksam und typisch asiatisch zurückhaltend - Frühlingsrollen und Ente super lecker

The food was very good and Fraudo was very good and friendly!

The food was delicious, unfortunately the service makes a lot of mistakes and doesn't recognize them. In the end she insisted that we give it a 5 star rating

Very tasty food and homemade lemonade, highly recommended.

Amazing food and service!!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥹🙏🏼

Very good Pho, and delicios drinks!

Food was amazing, staff super kind. We were a large group and we got good accomodation even when we reserved it late, super cute atmosphere inside

The food was delicious overall. Service was somewhat slow, even though it was very quiet, but friendly. The dishes were very expensive compared to other Asian restaurants. And for the price, I would have expected a bit more in terms of presentation, or simply a mountain of salad with no dressing on the side of the plate. Sorry, the price/performance ratio wasn't justified. €30 for a main course with duck and a large beer. And a bowl of rice, without tip.

I puked afterwards Was there often, now never again. BG

Really pleasant service and the food is top notch!

Very good restaurant with delicious food. I've been here several times and I've always enjoyed it.

Gran comida y servicio - volvimos 2 días después era tan bueno. Buena relación calidad-precio y comida saludable - algunas combinaciones de sabores no habrían pensado en

Visited with husband and son, had just arrived in hamburg and found u kitchen was near by. Staff were a bit miserable and hostile. Food, in our opinion, was excellent. We had starters and mains, and we were stuffed! Never had Vietnamese food before, and we loved it. The place is quite small. Luckily it wasn't full at the time we went. I can imagine it's rather snug when busy. Would visit again. Shame there isn't one where we live.

What an amazing place. The duck was top tier! The service is amazing as well. Very attentive.

Thank you for the delicious food and the super nice service. We'd love to come back next time in HH.

Honestly: expensive, very cramped, unfriendly waitresses. You are better off going to other Vietnamese restaurants in Hamburg. I went here because the reviews seem convincing, not at all. Food was salty. I feel like they try to get as much money for as little service possible. Absolutely overpriced for very below average food quality. You sit very close to other people, can’t even talk without hearing other people or have your conversations heard of. I don’t understand why there are so many tables in one small room. You can’t even move without toppling other people’s table if you aren’t careful. Came for the noodle soup, was very unimpressed. The drinks are something else when it comes to price. You’d think you’d get very fresh homemade drinks when you pay 7€, it was only mix of syrup and soda. Never again.

Really great food and very nice service.

Ukitchen in Hamburg offers a decent dining experience, but it has some drawbacks that might not make it the first choice for everyone. The restaurant is located in a souterrain space, which gives it a somewhat hidden and intimate feel. However, this also means it’s quite cramped, with limited space between tables. While some might find this cozy, others may feel it lacks the openness and comfort of a more spacious venue. The dim lighting adds to the atmosphere, but depending on personal preference, it can feel either warm and inviting or just a bit too enclosed. The food itself is solid, with well-prepared dishes that showcase fresh ingredients. The menu offers a nice variety, catering to different tastes, and the flavors are well-balanced. While not necessarily groundbreaking, the quality of the dishes is consistently good. Service is friendly and efficient, adding to the welcoming atmosphere despite the spatial limitations. One downside is the pricing of drinks. Cocktails, such as gin & tonic, are on the expensive side compared to similar restaurants in Hamburg. While the quality is good, the cost doesn’t always feel justified, especially given the casual setting. Overall, Ukitchen is an okay choice if you’re in the area and looking for a meal in an intimate setting. However, the cramped space and high drink prices may make it less appealing compared to other options in the city.

I visited the city and after having colleagues tell me about the place I had to visit. I ordered sprimg rolls and duck curry with a side of kimchi and a small coke, a large was brought. At the time of order(18:00hrs) there were 5 tables total in both parts of the restaurant. After 20 minutes 3 more tables came in. I waited 55 minutes in total for my food (which never came) all ehilst seeing every other table being served before me and the food looked fantastic. I asked the hostess that Im not willing to wait anymore and the least I can do is settle my small Coke, which was charged at a large price, with no apology, nor a solution and was asked if I wanted a take away, I refused as my hotel was 25 mins walk away and Id walked purposefully to eat ther. I settled the bill for my coke rather annoyed at the whole time wasting inconsiderate experience. Food looked great, service was careless and non existant

We were only in Vietnam 4 weeks ago and were therefore very spoiled and critical and can only say that it is very close to the Viet cuisine from the country. In terms of taste and also the products, which is very difficult. The arrangement and service were also very good. Thank you until next time

The food is incredibly good here, 10/10. Also a very nice wall for your iPhone, so 'handy'

...a nice, nice restaurant where we always stop when we are in Hamburg. Friendly staff and delicious food. Thank you, see you again soon.

Super nice staff, food fresh and tasty. Ambience also great. Clear recommendation!

Incredibly delicious freshly prepared food. Everything cooked to perfection and no convenience! We can only recommend 💪🏻

Everything is okay, but too expensive for the performance. But it tasted quite good.

Super delicious, fresh food!!! Top quality and nice service! Nicely decorated. We'll be back!

Ich war Montagmittag in der U Kitchen. Das Lokal war brechend voll, was ja erstmal für Qualität spricht. Ich hatte Vor- und Hauptspeise und eine Homemade Limonade. Alles war gut, mehr aber nicht. Eher Asia-Mainstream. Im Lokal herrscht ein unglaublich hoher Umschlag an Plätzen, was deutlich auf die Atmosphäre drückt. Harrsche Platzanweisung und sofortiges Bezahlen, wenn der Teller leer ist, ist dort Standard waren ein weiterer Punkt für „ungemütliche Nahrungsaufnahme“.

Wir waren am 15.02 im Ukitchen essen. Der Service war sehr gut. Man hat sehr schnell eine Karte bekommen und es wurde einem trotzdem genug Zeit gegeben um sich was ansprechendes raus zu suchen. Nach der Bestellung kam das Essen dann auch sehr schnell. Was mich persönlich beeindruckt hat, ist das es zu jedem Gericht ein Bild gibt das man eine Vorstellung hat wie es aussieht. Die Portionen war gar nicht mal so klein und man wurde gut satt. Der Preis war sehr angemessen für die Portionsgröße. Im großen und Ganzen ein sehr leckeres Essen. Aufjedenfall weiter zu empfehlen.

Wonderful genuine food. Exceptional service in a nice venue.

Great Vietnamese Food! Can recommend!

Haben das Restaurant nach dem TripAdvisor Ranking ausgesucht. Es war dann auch so, wie erwartet! Mega lecker, alles frisch, sehr nettes Personal und gute Portionen! Kann es nur empfehlen!

I ate the Japanese bowl. Very tasty and fresh. The food came very quickly and the staff was very friendly.

We had the red and the yellow curry. Both absolutely delicious

Very good food, good price and fast service. Vegetarian options!

Super delicious food, great service, great ambience, highly recommended, we will definitely be back.

Essen war super und kam recht schnell. Sehr lecker - also immer wieder gern. Bedienung war auch sehr nett und zuvorkommend.

We were there around 3 p.m. It's small, has lots of seats and yet isn't too cramped. The service is quick but not hectic. The drinks and food came really quickly and were very good. Above all, the food was very tasty. Vegetables crunchy, sauce well seasoned and the meat very tender. As already written here, the prices are, in my opinion, absolutely reasonable. We'll come back when we're on the corner again.

The food was excellent and delicious, the service was quick, and the price was reasonable.

Bestes vietnamesisches Essen. Nette Bedienung. Leckeres Essen. Gut für Abendessen. Freundliche Gastfreundschaft

everything was very tasty and the staff was nice!! I can only recommend it!!

Top location Very warm staff and ESPECIALLY the food TASTES like FIVE STARS 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 DELÜX. Thanks to the whole team for their expertise and service! Greetings from Schleswig-Holstein-Hamburg

Quaintly located in the basement, this Vietnamese restaurant offers delicious and beautifully presented food, with fast and friendly service!

It is quite satisfying in terms of taste and portion. We ate/drank very nice things. The environment is a bit noisy and cramped. I can't say the service is bad, but it could be better.

The food is awesome. Price-performance ratio is appropriate (especially considering the location and taste). 90% of the service is unparalleled... the 10% is the coordination among the employees. One can only say that the atmosphere is very cozy and cozy :) We reserved a table for 7 p.m. on Saturday, each ordered a drink, an appetizer and each ordered a main course. In the end we paid around €60. We were absolutely happy!

Geschmacklich war es schon solide und lecker. Die uns bedienenden Personen freundlich. Aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier gar nicht. Zum einen sind auf deren eigener Webseite noch veraltete Preise für die Gerichte ausgeschrieben (Hauptgerichte ca. 2 €, Vorspeisen zT 3€ teurer mittlerweile) und zum anderen sind 7,90€ für 2 Frühlingsrollen wirklich nicht gerechtfertigt. Das Ambiente ist eher auf Masse aus, als dass man wirklich gemütlich oder länger sitzen könnte.

Very tasty food, wonderful atmosphere! Service was very accommodating and friendly, we will definitely come back again ❤️ The photos in the card correspond 100% to what you get, I didn't even take a photo because I was so happy 😂😅🤍

Me and my brother went here, the staff is very nice and polite. The food was above our expectations. We ordered the duck, chicken and shrimp dish. I will post pictures. It's near Hamburg Rathaus. I recommend if you love Asian cooking. :)

I had a yellow curry that was very tasty. We were all very happy with the food and the service. We'd love to come back ☺️

The meal was excellent. There were three of us there and we had summer rolls as a starter. For the main course, my companion had a rice noodle salad and an udon noodle soup. I myself ordered a Phở Bo. Unfortunately this was misunderstood, so I had to order again. Since I am against food waste, I paid for both dishes and took them with me. We paid €120 for everything together. But everything was very tasty.

This is the fourth time I've eaten here and I have to say that it is my absolute favorite restaurant, not just in Hamburg but in Germany in general. The food is really a 10/10 and I can only recommend the Red Curry to everyone! The employees are also super nice and are always happy to see what they are communicating. - anni 🌻

Waren (ich und meine Tochter) am 30.12.2024 spontan und zufällig im Ukitchen zum Mittagessen. Sehr freundlich und leckeres vietnamesisches Essen. Tee wurde traditionell in Schale serviert. Gerne wieder. Wird auch anscheindend gerne von Stammgästen besucht, was für die Qualität spricht.

Went in for lunch and ordered the M3 - Bun with beef. For €13.50 I only got a pittance of beef, barely 10 grams of protein. I'll get the duck dish next time, you seem to get more meat. Other than that it's pretty okay.

Very tasty food and very friendly service, absolutely recommended

Pho soup was great🤩🤩🤩I'd love to come back!!!

The food was great, and the service too. But they were extremely pushy about getting a good review (even clicking the buttons on your phone). They would've gotten a great review anyways, so I'm not sure why they did that

One of the finest budget friendly Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. My go to place during work days.

Nice location, close to the Alster, nice owners

Food really tasty, drink very boring. And the service clears away plates even though people are still eating 🥺

A very nice atmosphere and good service. The Pho soup is highly recommended! I'd love to come back!

Very tasty and authentic food. Nice atmosphere and nice staff. A clear recommendation!

The restaurant is absolutely recommended. The food was very tasty just as I expect with fair price. The staff are super friendly. Everything was top notch. We'd love to come back

Ukitchen is simply great! Super delicious food, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Absolutely recommended!

Very nice hosts and the food tastes very good

Very enjoyable Vietnamese food with plenty of options. But I am a little dissatisfied with the service due to communication errors. To sum up I believe that it is worth visiting for the lovely food

We enjoyed the food very much. The waiting time was just OK, but the restaurant was also very full. The prices are absolutely reasonable.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, a great owner. Would come again and again

Food was great! Service was not good. First we were guided to a table with 6 chairs only to be told a few moments later we needed to move to a 4-chair table (sternly). After finishing our food we were pressured to leave because there was another party of 4 waiting - we hadn’t even finished our drink.

We happened to eat there on the evening of December 25th and left super happy and stuffed. The lady who served us was super attentive and professional. The food and drinks came quickly one after the other. Only after the dishes came did we understand how huge the portions were! Despite the generous portions, the quality didn't suffer. The spring rolls and summer rolls were super crunchy, hot and fresh. The udon noodle "aldente)))" the pho soup with a super tasty broth and a lot of ingredients and toppings. Thank you for a great "Christmas dinner".
