YU GARDEN Restaurant Chinesisches Teehaus in Hamburg

Authentic, delicious Chinese food in a wonderful ambience

Unusual ambiance. The food was excellent. We were there in the winter, but the outdoor area makes us eagerly anticipate a return visit in the summer.

There are plenty of vegetarian options here. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommended.

Great food. Service could be less snappy, clearing up ;)

Maybe our expectations were a bit too high due to the great building? Our feeling, apart from a young waitress, was that the waiters were indifferent. Uncomfortable chairs. A WANG TANG soup that seemed to be infused with "hot water". Meat dishes ok but just ok. Vegetable side dish that had an overpowering garlic aroma and was therefore inedible. (Situation: Saturday evening, 6 p.m., it was very crowded and a bit hectic overall)

Nice ambience, the outdoor area is beautifully designed. Like a Chinese park with a pond. The service is very friendly, the food was relatively spicy (spicier than stated on the menu). The prices tend to be in the higher segment.

Beautiful place in quiet atmosphere. The food was very good, though I was expecting more from the vegetarian options. The prices are high but you can easily share a plate because the amount of food is plenty. finally, the stuff is very friendly

Ausgezeichnet. Sehr freundlich personell. Und wenig Wartezeit . Ente Peking war sehr gut . Tolle Preise. Sehr sauber .

Large restaurant with Chinese cuisine near the Outer Alster. The facility is spacious and impressive. The atmosphere is pleasant and the selection of food and drinks is large. The price level is slightly higher. You should budget around 30 to 40 euros per person. My food tasted good. The service was good. But sometimes I had to wait a little longer. I was able to pay conveniently by credit card. American Express was not accepted.

The Yu Garden Restaurant is located in the Yu Garden Hamburg, which is a replica of the Yu Yuan in Shanghai. You can find delicious, authentic Chinese food here. The pork trotters and Peking duck are highly recommended.

I can recommend this place. New Year's reception was very successful

Beautiful building, there were 6 of us there, 4 were very satisfied, 2 less so. The service was overloaded and very economical when it came to friendliness

Yu Garden Restaurant is truly a gem for authentic Chinese food lovers! The flavors are rich and traditional, and the duck is absolutely amazing—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The portions are generous, and the prices are totally reasonable. I highly recommend coming with a group so you can share and try different dishes together, as the servings are quite large. The atmosphere is great, and the service is efficient. If you’re looking for real Chinese flavors in town, this is the place to be!

Certainly the most beautiful Chinese in Hamburg and one of the very best.

After we lost faith in good Chinese food on the Reeperbahn (see my last review), we experienced a renaissance of it again! By chance we walked past a beautiful Chinese pagoda and lo and behold, there was also a Chinese restaurant!!! The yellowed cards outside with long-gone prices only briefly irritated us - we bravely entered the restaurant and this time we were not disappointed! Super delicious food, nice tea and ice-cold beer on tap and a nice atmosphere paired with friendly, hard-working staff - thank you very much and absolute recommendation!

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right here - the dishes are overpriced. For the price I would expect a feast of the best quality, but it was mediocre. There are woks in the city that cook much cheaper and better. However, there is one star for the good location, you can take a photo. Contrary to Chinese tradition, the kitchen is closed instead of open, probably for good reason. I also had an extremely strange experience: a waiter or cook farted as I walked past him.

Recommended. Food is very tasty

Duck good, all good! We were thrilled.

I was there yesterday with two friends because I had heard so much about it. I was particularly interested in the teahouse, which doesn't exist! I thought, in this restaurant, there is a separate room (tea house) where the tea is served. Unfortunately not! Unfortunately there was no cake as stated. The tea was good. (I am a tea drinker) and that is of course important to me. Ordered tea once and then there comes a mini pot for almost €7. I find that very exaggerated. Ordered food once from the lunch menu and ordered twice from the normal menu. I had chicken with noodles. They cost €10 for the average Chinese and €17.90 here. The portions were good. But that was it. Not earth-shattering in terms of taste. Service was attentive, except from the grumpy older waiter! My conclusion: In the summer with the terrace, definitely nice, but now, completely normal. For the money, I wouldn't eat here again.

Not only good food but also nice and very attentive staff.

This was my second time here. Such delicious food and the service is very attentive.

A wonderful experience in Hamburg. The restaurant is beautiful the service is great and the food amazing. The Pekin Duck is the dish to go for, no doubt. I also recommend the chef's recommendation options in the Menu ;)

Gutes Essen mit einigen Besonderheiten wie Xiao Long Bao. Und eine gemütliche Einrichtung mit schöner Beleuchtung. Der Garten ist toll!

Very tasty, delicious food and beautiful ambience. We were there in winter, which is okay but definitely even nicer in summer and in the garden.

The restaurant is located in the Chinese Garden in Hamburg. The garden is a sign of friendship between Shanghai and Hamburg (I think) and is very authentically built in Shanghai style. For dinner we ordered duck. Delicious! And it's worth mentioning that you can order a Moutai cocktail.

Generally a nice place, but the service is terrible. One of our teas was burned, we got the wrong appetizers that were then taken away from us (they didn't know what we ordered, we guessed, then they came back and took it away...). The food was good, but not fantastic. Then we had to wait 45 minutes to pay the bill- we reminded them twice, until a party member hunted down a waiter, only to be told "why didn't you ask earlier"? We did... Not coming back, although the restaurant is beautiful.

We were there for dinner with 6 people (a Chinese woman) and had starters and main courses that everyone could eat. It was absolutely delicious, even the kids loved it, which is an award. I can only recommend the restaurant.

12/19/2024/7:30 p.m. Ever since we discovered this architectural gem while taking a walk many years ago, we have wished that a tenant would be found for the unique location again and that Chinese food would be offered. Now it was finally time for us too. With two friends we were able to order a large number of different Chinese dishes. This also has the advantage of being able to try things that you might not have had in mind yourself. When we threatened to run out of space on the table, we thought at first that we would never make it, but as is always the case: when it tastes as good as it does here, you eat more than you think. It was also nice that there were several craft beers. The dim sum and starters were consistently of good quality, attractively presented and varied. Highlights: steamed ribs, spinach, langoustine and wrapped chicken. Only the crème brûlée would have deserved a crispier topping. We would like to dine outside here when the weather is good. A great location.

It felt like we were in a fast food restaurant. As soon as the drinks were on the table the appetizer arrived. Having just finished spooning the soup, the main course arrived on a trolley. Zack on the table. We had a seat in the aisle that was used for delivering goods and food, although a quiet table was desired. All in all, it wasn't right for us, it was way too loud and we've had better food elsewhere.

Essen sehr gut, als es voller wurde lange Wartezeiten, dennoch ein schönes Erlebnis und leckerer Cocktail. Die Familie am Nebentisch mit drei hungrigen Kindern tat mir leid, es hat alles superlange gedauert.

As always excellent, the lunch menu is remarkable

We ate here as a couple because of the many good reviews and regular awards from the Genuss Guide. Unfortunately we were bitterly disappointed. The only thing above average was the prices. The quality is more like that of a Chinese train station. Unfortunately, service was also very bad. It's a shame actually.

We were a group of 5 people there, it's huge! Went there on New Year's Eve and had reserved, especially since it was very busy. Great service, the service was very quick, be it the drinks or the food. We all really enjoyed the food, so we would be happy to come back.

Always an experience. Peking duck super tasty

Best Peking duck, great service, great ambience.

The atmosphere is very nice, the prices are very high. Unfortunately, places near the entrance are very cold at this time of year. The food looked good and came quickly. The duck in the wok unfortunately with a lot of wildebeest, as the hamburger says. The chicken pieces in the batter were very hard and cooked for too long, not a fresh preparation, unfortunately. We didn't really like it.

Nice atmosphere, huge restaurant. Unfortunately the food didn't pick us up at all. I had duck, a third of the meat was gristle and inedible. The sauce tasted sour and the vegetables were well seasoned. The menu was very manageable, dishes were very expensive. Unfortunately the evening wasn't worth what it cost.

Currently my favorite b "China" Good wine list

We ate at Yu Garden on Boxing Day as a family with a 2 year old and loved it again! On our first visit we were so impressed by the quality and taste of the food that we decided to enjoy our Christmas dinner here on the second holiday. The Peking duck was again absolutely delicious and authentic – a real highlight. The service was friendly and attentive, and the waiting time between ordering and eating was pleasantly short. Only the time until we received the menu was a bit too long. Still a wonderful experience in a beautiful atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Zuvorkommendes, aufmerksames Personal lassen einen gleich willkommen fühlen. Jede Speise ist ausgezeichnet auf den Punkt.

Very tasty food, there were four of us and everyone was thrilled with the quality of the food. Overall we liked it. The only deduction: Unfortunately, the service noticed us late and after several attempts to make us noticed and took our order.

It was extremely bad that our children had to wait 50 minutes for their food even though our main course had already been served. The starter came at the end. Duck not cooked through and totally fatty. Beef steak came completely fried and cut into cubes. Shoe sole was brought to the table. Plate cleared even though it wasn't ready. No new one, unbelievable. Never traveled 150 km for it again.

Everything was very tasty, service was very good, Christmas dinner, 5 course menu was top

There is still room for improvement. Drinks and food come at the same time. Eat more lukewarm than really hot. Convience a la aro, the Metro own brand.

Great food and service, easy parking, highly recommend

Had dinner with the family, service ignored us. After we organized ourselves and several times When we spoke to service, it worked. We were rewarded with an excellent meal, but the ignorance was severe. Even repeat orders had to be made several times at the counter. The restaurant was only half open. Since the food was excellent, we are giving the YU Garden a second chance.

As always, very tasty, authentic food.

Good but not very good! Atmosphere is great, no question. The price level is relatively high!

I have been in this enchanting atmosphere several times now. Asian food couldn't be more authentic!

Location magica, personale gentilissimo e attento a tutte le esigenze, qualità dei prodotti eccellente e porzioni grandi.

We had a business lunch. The price-performance ratio is absolutely reasonable. The service is very friendly and attentive. We liked the food, especially since the spices were anything but "standard" = surprising and good. Despite its size, the restaurant is very cozy.

The food is pretty good. The service is very attentive and friendly. They have quite large and separated areas, this makes it ideal for any type of visit. Organize events, lunches for companies, friends, as a couple or alone.

loud and bustling, much quieter in the smaller next room, but you have to call the waitress several times. We found the food to be unexciting, more okay than authentic.

I'm always wary of "best food I've tasted outside [inset relevant city]" reviews, but on a trip to Hamburg we gave Yu Garden a try. Seriously, the glowing reviews are warranted in this instance. An awesome exterior and interior. The food was cooked to perfection. The team very attentive but not overwhelming. If we ever visit Hamburg again, we'll definitely visit Yu Garden!

A great restaurant...for me and my husband the best Chinese we've ever eaten

authentic Chinese food in the heart of Hamburg A bit too expensive for my taste, but you can enjoy the course menu with a larger group

All in all a fantastic place to have proper authentic Chinese cuisine. We've had a very hot and spicy beef share platter. Staff was mindfully double checking if we can cope with it and yes we loved it. Service was super quick and attentive. You feel very welcomed from the beginning you enter. Great job!

We spontaneously went to eat there on a Sunday afternoon. There was a table without any problems. The atmosphere with the bar was very nice. The food was very good and also had a good spiciness. In many restaurants the seasoning is very German, but here it was bang. I had the Argentinian entrecote. The dish is juicy, but has no real sauce. That's why I found the rice added to be "disturbing" because you have to eat it more or less dry. Very good nice service. Definitely worth a visit.

You certainly pay for the ambience here. 24€ for normal fried noodles with chicken, the starter tastes like it came out of the packaging, the service is very stressed, cocktails are much too strong and actually only taste like alcohol.

Food and ambience great. It was a bit loud, which was probably due to the full capacity. Definitely a must in Hamburg!

We weren't thrilled. The dim sum looked like it was covered in jelly and smelled unpleasant. The beef was so tough it was impossible to enjoy. The significantly overpriced prices are absolutely not matched by the quality of the food.

Love the place! The bejing duck is absolutely delicious and plenty for 2 people. We were absolutely stuffed!

A unique restaurant! You can see the effort in the details. Food was great (cold starter plate unfortunately too cold “fridge cold”) everything else was well seasoned. Ambience actually deserves 5 stars because there was no background music and you could hear every conversation in the separate room. Otherwise really great! Only recommended

The Yu Garden Restaurant brings a piece of China to Hamburg and impresses with authentic cuisine in an atmospheric ambience. The homemade dumplings and diverse dishes from different regions of China are fresh, plentiful and tasty. The restaurant is often busy and not exactly cheap, but for lovers of real Chinese flavors it is a special experience and absolutely worth a visit.

The first thing you notice is the beautiful outdoor area. The restaurant not only offers a sensory experience for the taste buds, but also impresses with an appealing visual ambience. The service was very attentive and responded excellently to my wishes (allergy sufferers). The food itself was extremely tasty. Made with fresh ingredients and aesthetically pleasing. Full five stars! Only the volume was really loud. I asked for a quiet table when making the reservation, but this obviously couldn't be accommodated. This was actually a major distraction for me and meant that I couldn't enjoy the food as much as I should have. After the visit, my ears and those with me were ringing. I would therefore be very happy if such requests could be addressed in more detail in future reservations. Had this not been the case, we would have been completely satisfied.

Delicious food, nice restaurant, great atmosphere, I highly recommend it

Super delicious food - especially the baked duck with wok vegetables was a dream. Very nice service staff. The ambience outside is fantastic and extremely romantic in the evening. Unfortunately we didn't have a nice table, right at the entrance next to the cutlery sorting, but as we walked through the restaurant it became clear that there were much nicer seats. There is definitely no mainstream food here, but really quality and even more unusual dishes. I would come back at any time.

This is how Chinese food works in a great ambience from the tea house. We had lunch according to the lunch menu. Soup and salad with shrimp and I had spring roll followed by Hunan spicy chicken. Full marks for each

It was great, a very special atmosphere 😀😀😀

It feels like you are in the middle of China, the service is incredibly good, fast and friendly. The food is also very good in terms of price and tastes excellent. In addition to more exotic Asian dishes, there are also more Western dishes with an Asian touch on the menu. Always my pleasure!

Great food. Good vibe. They just forgot to light the candle on our table.

It was great again at Yu Garden.

The location is very beautiful and special and the food is totally authentic. There is a good selection of food. What we didn't like was the waiting time after we sat down at the table and when we wanted to pay. The beginning and end of the stay were therefore characterized by a lot of waiting. However, the food itself came very quickly.

Die Pekingente als Vorspeise war umwerfend gut. Toller Geschmack. Als Hauptgericht dann die "Reste" der Pekingente und das geröstete Bauchfleisch. Super. Kellner sehr nett und haben nebenbei auch viele Kochfragen beantwortet. Gerne wieder.

Bei schönstem Wetter werden drei kleine Tische direkt vor dem Eingang eingedeckt. Trotz genügend Kapazitäten an Tischen und Stühlen wurde ich abgewiesen. Ein absolutes no go. 1 Stern ist noch zu viel.

Authentic Chinese cuisine. Fast service.

Delicious food, good selection. Service could be a little more attentive.

A great restaurant with fine Chinese cuisine. Great dumplings, delicious wonton soup and main courses.

Worst hospitality we've ever had - and food lukewarm

Wonderful atmosphere with delicious food. Everything very authentic! Simply wonderful!

Best Chinese restaurant in Hamburg, great service and very good food, including the duck

Beautiful Restaurant. Around 17:30 there were not so many people so we could enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant, but from 18:00 getting too crowded. Staffs are caring but can see they are stressed. We ordered a whole roasted Peking duck, tasted wonderful! I prefer the sauce here to the original one; the sauce tastes more peanutty. 3 pieces of dimsum were ok but not juicy enough. The red wine 'Wild pony' tastes flat than it's description. But definitely we would like to visit here again with our family.

The ambience is very pleasant, the food is okay, but the service only deserves three stars.

Very good Asian restaurant. Not quite as cheap but still okay.

We were there a few days ago. We had ordered a table and when we entered the restaurant we stood in the entrance for a while and were ignored even though the restaurant was only half full. Finally a service employee spoke to us and assigned us a table. After twenty minutes in which we were skillfully ignored, we received the card when we asked. There were three service staff on duty! We each ordered a starter and a main course. The food was really good, after clearing the table we each ordered a drink. As soon as we had finished drinking the service employee came and said: then pay now! So after 1.5 hours including 20 minutes of non-observance, this is really remarkable behavior. We weren't asked if we wanted a dessert or something similar. want. Since we didn't behave conspicuously in any way, it was an absolute disgrace and bordered on being thrown out, even though, as I said, not even half of the seats were occupied. Hospitality and good service is different. Our conclusion: The food was ok, everything else, including the cleanliness of the restaurant and the service apart from a friendly young employee, was impossible. Clearly not recommended, it's better to just order food away from home. We will not recommend the Yugarden to anyone and will not stop there again.

Was able to enjoy a buffet there after a sporting event. Top and happy again!

Ambiance outside, ok ("requires care") A little too loud in the restaurant. The food was ok. 1 dish was wrong (instead of tempura of cod fillet, there was grilled cod fillet/including various bones) I still ate it because the service wasn't working so well and we wanted to eat together. Overall conclusion, ok.

A really great Chinese restaurant. The ambience was great coupled with really amazingly delicious food. We would love to come back.

We were very impressed and had a lovely evening. Misunderstandings only arose due to some communication problems. The portions are very rich!

Beautiful property and good food.

The food is great, there's really nothing to complain about. Very authentic, I feel like I've been transported back to China. However, I also feel like I've been transported to China when it comes to the ambience and the service. Used napkins were under the table. That shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this class. The service is okay. Unfortunately, since we weren't sitting in the main room, we were somewhat forgotten and had to wait a very long time to place our order. The noise level was very Chinese. Unfortunately, I don't know why the waiter who brought the bills to the individual tables had to shout so loudly that everyone noticed who had to pay how much with card or cash. All in all, it's still one of the best restaurants in the city!

The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and tasty, some traditional dishes for some dishes.

Food is great! But poor service. We ordered duck, pork, tofu and jasmine tea. All good, I would have liked more variety of vegetables but the flavour was great. However, once we arrived and were taken to our table, nobody approached, we had to stand up and take a menu. We kept waiting, nobody came, tried to ask three different waiters and after 35 min we could order. Food came and one person didn’t have any cutlery or napkins. Funny thing is they even asked for tip ?!

The waiters strangely ignore you and the food is at best snack quality. You pay twice as much, sometimes 2.5 times, and the food doesn't taste any better than the cheapest Asian restaurant next door. You pay for the location. The price is completely excessive for the quality.

The service was poor and tips were taken without notice.

We would try the food. The food tastes completely normal here, you only count for the location. Other Chinese restaurants taste much better. Service is unprofessional from the boss to the waiter. Most waiters just want to do things quickly and quickly and don't listen to what the customer wants. So I'm only coming here to try it for the first time and will never come here again. I rate 1 star.

Very nice atmosphere, sometimes loud - as is usual in China. Nice ambience outside. I almost felt like I was in the original. Unfortunately, service was a bit stressful as a large group was being served.

Professioneller Service, allerdings extrem unverbindlich. Kellner war nicht in der Lage, zwei Glas Champagner als Aperitif zu servieren; sehr ärgerlich, weil wir einen Grund zum Feiern hatten. Das Essen (Pekingente) sehr lecker; Aufpreis für 10 weitere Fladen (8,50 €) extrem heftig und m. E. nicht angemessen. Insgesamt enttäuschend.

Not authentic Shanghai food as I expected. But everything else was nice.

Excellent restaurant with a special ambience. The food was really very good, think really close to traditional dishes. I can recommend the roasted pork belly with a clear conscience :)
