YU GARDEN Restaurant Chinesisches Teehaus in Hamburg

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and cozy. When I return to Hamburg, I will definitely eat there again.

Terrible service. Four of us were here this evening with a 7 p.m. reservation. After 30 minutes, we were noticed, given menus, and allowed to order. After 60 minutes, I asked for our drinks at the bar. Someone else came, again with menus. Then someone came and asked for our drink order again and actually found it on one of their slips of paper. The drinks arrived, one of which was not the quantity I ordered. Three appetizers and three main courses were served. My appetizer arrived five minutes after my main course. The fourth main course didn't arrive at all and had to be reordered. Everything was very unloving and the taste was below average. We won't go there again, even though it could be nice on the terrace.

Unfortunately we were not served.

I was thrilled. Pleasant atmosphere and delicious food. I'll be back.

On our first visit, we were very impressed by the authentic ambiance. On our second visit, we focused more on the food and found it less authentic: While the taste was pleasant, it offered little surprise or challenge. The food didn't compare favorably with experiences in China or the smaller food stalls we've visited in Germany. Everything seemed very much tailored to German tastes. We would have preferred more intense and surprising flavor experiences.

We had Peking duck. It was super delicious and very filling. It was prepared right at our table. The staff was very friendly.

We were here on a Sunday lunchtime and were the only customers for quite some time. The food was great, although I've had better dim sum. The facility is truly impressive, but also a bit dated and could use a bit of TLC. The restaurant interior, however, was very nice. The only real downside was the service; our drink and food orders took 15 minutes to take, even though we were the only customers at the time. However, we were served after the waiter had finished his lunch.

YU GARDEN was the best Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten at. Very attentive and friendly staff, top-quality food with excellent taste. Yes, the prices are higher than usual, but they're completely reasonable for the quality. I'll definitely be returning to this place for culinary delights on my next trip to Hamburg.

Really good....I am Chinese, then my comment really means so delicious 😋 😍 😊

Delicious food in a very nice ambience

This place is one of the best Chinese restaurants that I have visited. I tried meals from A la carte menu, but also from the Bussines lunch menu. The ingredients were fresh and aromatic, meals were done perfectly. Atmosphere, food, and staff were perfect, but for me, there was one thing that stood above all - the overall calmness of this place. I would be more than pleased to visit this place on my journeys in the future.

Very tasty food (also something for vegetarians) great atmosphere, like a little trip to China right in Hamburg ;)

Very! You'd think you were in China...world class!

A total disaster! The table was reserved. After 15 minutes, we asked if we could order. The response was extremely rude. We could see that it was full and we would have to wait. Furthermore, the place was very messy and somewhat unkempt. The food, some of which was being wheeled around on old serving carts, didn't look very appetizing either. We decided to leave.

A truly great Chinese restaurant. Authentic ambiance and fantastic food. Because it was very busy, it took a while for a server to arrive, but otherwise it was really great. We'll be back.

The food was something completely different, it was steak and it didn't taste like Chinese but it was good, only I got food poisoning and my cousin did the same

Great Chinese restaurant. The specialty is Peking duck. Served just like in China.

Restaurant with very good authentic Chinese cuisine - authentic ambience, friendly and attentive service - highly recommended - we would love to come back

Still the best Chinese restaurant in all of Hamburg.

A very nice restaurant! The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere! We'd love to go back!

Super nice ambiance, inside and out, very good menus with everything that's typically Chinese (not a "plate of seven delicacies" with rice). The Peking duck is highly recommended: crispy and not at all dry, and the xiao long bao are also homemade.

Always a joy to visit. Friendly service and great food!

Everything is great here. Super friendly staff, I don't even need to talk about the food.

After 8 years in Hamburg , I can finally say I have discovered a fantastic and different restaurant from the others!Not only beautiful and cozy but delicious !

A lovely oasis with good, authentic food in the beautifully situated park behind the Marks Museum. The ambiance, with its large terrace and well-spaced indoor seating, reflects Asian culture. My favorite dishes are dim sum and the filled yeast dough dumplings.

Authentic place and good selection of foods

An PF Chang in Germany. If you are an American, you know what it means when it comes to the authenticity of the food being served.

The ambiance is magnificent. From the outdoor area to the building to the decor...it's like being somewhere else. The food was also delicious. The tempera shrimp is fantastic. The duck was also excellent. I'd be happy to go back.

We ate duck with sweet and sour sauce. Unfortunately, the duck was extremely unappetizing and barely edible. The skin was extremely wobbly, the meat was of inferior quality and drenched in fat. The sauce consisted of an indefinable, thick liquid without any fruit, such as the usual pineapple. We asked the staff to rework the duck. Unfortunately, we got back an even greasier duck with wobbly skin and a disgusting appearance. We have probably never had such bad Chinese food. In the end, we stopped eating the food, paid, and left very disappointed. We do not recommend this restaurant. If you want to enjoy delicious Chinese food in Hamburg, you should go to another restaurant.

Very good and authentic dishes, fast and friendly service, and an exceptional ambiance. We will eat there again.

Great place, I recommend it to everyone

There were four of us, we had made a reservation, and we were immediately assigned our table. It's a huge place, with a large outdoor area. (It's very loud inside, so a conversation can only be had at a moderate volume.) The food was very good, with a very good selection. Drinks were also reasonably priced and of good quality (at least those from Weinkontor Rindchen). Ordering drinks took a long time! Despite all that, we'll definitely be back!

Curious, I went there... The food was great, BUT the main course was unfortunately only lukewarm (rice, meat, etc.). By the time I got to the restaurant, it was already cold. The surroundings seemed a bit dated, but everything was still okay. The service was good; I don't know if they took my comment about the cold food seriously. The best part was the heavy metal music in the background 😅, I wasn't expecting that. It didn't really fit, especially since the music was quiet and all you could hear were screams and some guitar riffs.

Best Chinese Restaurant in Germany I have seen so far. The atmosphere is incredible. The architecture, pond and plants look so nice, that I should remove 1 point for atmosphere for every other restaurant I have seen so far, to make it fair. And the best thing is, that even the food itself is amazing. It's not excessively salty like in other restaurants that "adapted" by using more salt. I can recommend the seafood dishes, tofu and all vegetable dishes.

We came specifically for the tea house. But it doesn't specialize in tea. Just a regular tea bag in a pot for €8. It wasn't served with any ceremony, either. White tea is allowed to brew for a maximum of three minutes, and removing the tea bag was impossible.

Great location 😍👌 we had an excellent meal, sat outside in the pretty garden in the best weather, the staff was very attentive and friendly 👌😊 we would love to come back ☀️

Wonderfully beautiful garden and delicious food

I had the crispy roasted pork belly on vegetables - the taste was really great, everything was excellently prepared and there was absolutely nothing to complain about. The service was very friendly at the beginning: we were served attentively and warmly when ordering, serving and clearing away. However, another employee was responsible for paying, who unfortunately seemed rather rude. It felt like he wanted to get rid of us quickly. No “goodbye” or anything like that. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere in the restaurant. I wouldn't have thought that there would be such a beautiful building in the middle of Rotherbaum. Really a great atmosphere! Overall, the price-performance ratio was reasonable, even if it was on the more expensive side. Despite small compromises in service in the end, I can clearly recommend the restaurant overall.

The food was delicious, but the service was subpar, unfriendly and very stressful, even though the restaurant wasn't that full. I've never experienced anything like that in Hamburg I'm not coming back

I experienced a delicious main course and courteous staff. I would like to visit it again. I would recommend it as a nice place to go with friends, family or a partner.

Good food and traditional architecture make this place shine !

Wir sind schon lange nicht mehr so unfreundlich und arrogant bedient worden. !! Der Kellner knallte uns die Speisekarte und das Besteck und ging, später als wir bestellen wollten, wurden wir erst einmal gemaßregelt!! Daraufhin verließen wir das Restaurant !!

Shrimp bean curd roll is to die for !! Really very good food in an amazing neighbourhood with great architecture- apparently a gift from Shanghai. Will be back!

On the terrace today we had beef fillet cooked in hot chili oil with Sichuan spices and vegetables for two people, but we ordered it less spicy (see picture). It was again very tasty and the service team was very friendly and attentive. A lunch at Yu Garden is always a pleasure in every respect, it is one of our favorite places. It is always an experience to eat at the Chinese complex Yu Garden. As always, the food was very tasty and the service staff, as usual, were very friendly and attentive. The entire complex is a gift from Hamburg's sister city Shanghai, and the property was donated by the city of Hamburg. The facility is an interplay of culture and modernity. With the houses, the cloister, the waterfall and the green area, you might think you are in China.

Very nice service! The service is a bit abrupt when serving the food, but everything is delicious and sitting outside is definitely recommended!

The food was delicious and the service was good too

I was really very excited. Great atmosphere, good food, you feel good there. You'll be happy to come back there.

Nice place to unwind and enjoy the food

Fantastic food, wonderful ambience outside in the water garden and inside with the pagodas, and very high quality, extremely friendly service. An experience!

Der Yu Garden in Hamburg ist ein beeindruckendes Beispiel traditioneller chinesischer Architektur und zugleich ein sichtbares Zeichen der Städtepartnerschaft zwischen Hamburg und Shanghai. Er befindet sich direkt hinter dem MARKK (ehemals Völkerkundemuseum), im Stadtteil Rotherbaum. Die Anlage wurde nach dem Vorbild des berühmten Yuyuan-Teehauses aus der Ming-Dynastie in Shanghai errichtet und bildet ein harmonisches Ensemble aus verschiedenen Gebäuden, Pavillons und einem Garten im klassischen chinesischen Stil. Das Restaurant ist integraler Bestandteil dieser Anlage, aber nur ein Teil des gesamten kulturellen und architektonischen Konzepts. Wir besuchten den Yu Garden im Rahmen eines kleinen Treffens mit Freunden. Preislich empfanden wir das Angebot als angemessen, besonders im Hinblick auf die besondere Atmosphäre und das authentisch gestaltete Ambiente. Dank eines unserer Freunde, der chinesische Wurzeln hat, konnten wir auch ein paar interessante Einblicke gewinnen. Dabei fiel uns auf, dass das aufmerksame und freundliche Personal aus unterschiedlichen asiatischen Ländern stammt – ein sympathischer Aspekt, der zur kulturellen Vielfalt des Ortes beiträgt. Wir entschieden uns für das Peking-Enten-Menü und ein paar Vorspeisen, das preislich eher im unteren bis mittleren Segment angesiedelt war. Geschmacklich war die Ente für mich persönlich absolut in Ordnung – zumal es meine erste Peking-Ente überhaupt war. Unser chinesischer Freund hingegen merkte an, dass es in Hamburg durchaus Lokale gebe, in denen diese Spezialität noch authentischer oder raffinierter zubereitet werde. Die Vorspeisen waren sehr gut. Alles in allem ist der Yu Garden nicht nur wegen seines kulinarischen Angebots, sondern vor allem aufgrund seiner besonderen Atmosphäre und der liebevoll gestalteten Umgebung einen Besuch wert. Für ein entspanntes Essen mit Freunden oder kleinere private Anlässe eignet sich das Restaurant sehr gut – insbesondere, wenn man einen Hauch von fernöstlicher Kultur mitten in Hamburg erleben möchte.

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 just okay than authentic.

A place with a fascinating atmosphere with its traditional Chinese architecture. Although it needs some maintenance, the garden you pass through on the way to the restaurant is really impressive. I ordered Wan Tan and Dim Sum Mix. It was really delicious and worth the price. I will go again, I recommend it.

Great food, very authentic and the atmosphere in the house is really cool too! The Peking duck is definitely the highlight! Service very friendly and professional! The restaurant was completely full and the service was still reasonably quick and friendly!

Great location, excellent staff and excellent food. We had the Peking duck, highly recommended. Have been there several times and are always thrilled.

Authentic cuisine, very tasty food. Friendly service.

We enjoyed the food. The dishes were well prepared. Unfortunately, in the small adjoining room at the height of the chairs, the wall around it was very scuffed. So that you always looked at the dirty wall while eating. At home, a nogo. In the restaurant too, everything should at least be a little cleaner. The front room to be China. But if you put people back there, it should be clean there too.

I had dinner here with my wife. I ordered the Peking duck for myself which was really delicious. It doesn't get any better. My wife had surf and turf and she really enjoyed it too. We will definitely come back, we were very satisfied. The ambience and service were also great.

O lugar é lindo! Vale muito a pena só pela decoração e a fonte. A casa de chás é encantadora. A comida é muito boa com o preço justo. As porções são enormes então eu pedi para mim um Noodles kids e uma porção de bao. Meu marido pediu o tradicional pato e era uma delícia. Tudo muito bem feito. O creme brule muito gostoso e crocante. Recomendo e quero voltar!

Very good Chinese food! Unusual location with an original Chinese tea house behind the Marks Museum. Extremely professional and very friendly service.

The ambiance from the outside is impressive. Very good Chinese cuisine, which stands out from the typical all-you-can-eat restaurants in terms of quality. Friendly service, although it was difficult to reorder at times. Prices are high.

It was OK. The classic Chinese restaurant with a lovely outdoor terrace.

A real highlight for lovers of Chinese cuisine! I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant and loved it! The ambience is stylishly authentic and offers plenty of space inside and outside. The menu offers an authentic selection of Chinese dishes - from classic dim sum to perfectly seasoned main courses. The Peking duck is particularly recommended – crispy, juicy and with a wonderfully aromatic sauce. The service was friendly and attentive, but a bit too intrusive. The price ratio is a bit higher, but okay for the good quality of the food. I can recommend this restaurant and will come back!

Always an experience. A fantastic location. Great service. Delicious food and great value for money.

Authentic, delicious Chinese food in a wonderful atmosphere

Unusual atmosphere. The food was great. We were there in winter, but the outdoor area makes us excited to see you again in summer.

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

Great food. Service could be less quick when it comes to clearing things 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
