Zhao-Yong Xiao in Heiligenhafen

Delicious food and great service at good prices.

For more than 30 years I have always driven past this restaurant when we wanted to eat something in Heiligenhafen. We either went to the Pizzaria Osteria Rustika, Tamatsu, or the Greek Orfeo. Xiao doesn't look inviting, but the first time I ate there I absolutely loved it! Very tasty Chinese cuisine. The furnishings are typical and absolutely recommended!! I missed a very good Chinese restaurant for 30 years...!!!

Great restaurant. We went on vacation to Fehmarn and ate here twice because we were absolutely impressed. Super delicious food and super friendly staff. Really highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food. Our daughter was really excited too. Great ambience, great service and a very fair price-performance ratio!! Definitely coming back next year!!

I ate here with my parents 30 years ago. Was here again after a long time and the memory came back immediately. The Peking soup is one of the tastiest I have ever eaten, and the other two dishes also met my/our taste exactly. If you're looking for a classic Chinese restaurant, you've definitely come to the right place. The prices are reasonable and even very cheap for lunch. It's not a snack bar and anyone who wants to eat duck for 10 euros may have the wrong idea about quality and should go somewhere else. In any case, I'm looking forward to the next time, and not in 30 years.

The food was tasty but much too expensive, the restaurant was empty, no guests and the chairs were leaning against the tables outside when the weather was nice. When we said that we would like to sit outside, the boss said: "I'd rather be inside otherwise I'll have to spend so much work and clean everything," by which he meant wiping the tables outside, they'd rather go to the competition

We visited this restaurant for the first time this holiday and were very satisfied. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and tasty. What particularly caught our attention was the owners' daughter, who works in the family business. She was extremely friendly and even took the time (despite the full restaurant) to teach our daughter how to eat with chopsticks (she really wanted to learn). She was also super nice to other children and, for example, counted the fish in the pool in the entrance area with them. Unfortunately, such child-friendliness is no longer a given everywhere these days 👌 We'll definitely be back next year 😊

Went for lunch as a couple today, August 16, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. We were served quickly and friendly. The two meals, one of them baked chicken, were just average. The breading was noticeably pale and not particularly crispy. Overall we were a bit disappointed. The Peking soup was also too sour. Even though we're leaving tomorrow, we wouldn't be coming back anytime soon. What was also striking was that if you changed the side dish from rice to pasta, fries or fried rice, you would be charged FIVE euros, which is simply too expensive. If you came here with 2 - 3 children, you would spend 10 to 15 euros just for changing side dishes.

The food was really very good and I'm looking forward to next time.

..we liked it..very rustic furnishings..very clean..there is a regular guest menu..and ..good Asian food..

The small family-run Asian restaurant Xiao is a little out of the way. We have been vacationing in the area for years and have been here several times. After reading the bad reviews we wanted to see for ourselves. First of all: the food is still very tasty. Nothing ready-made, everything fresh and prepared with love. Still, it happened surprisingly quickly. 2. I also cannot confirm the allegedly excessive prices. We paid €112 for 3 adults and 3 children today. For 5 starters, 3 main courses and 3 children's dishes and 2 large and 4 small drinks. So expensive is different in my opinion. If you want to eat duck, you have to pay for duck. 3. The service was, as in previous years, very courteous and friendly. Our conclusion: food delicious, prices reasonable, service excellent. We will definitely come back and would recommend Restaurant Xiao at any time.

We ate there with our daughter yesterday, August 7th, 2024, on our wedding anniversary. The restaurant is decorated like most Chinese restaurants and offers a nice Asian atmosphere. The orders were taken quickly by the very courteous staff and brought to the table quickly. Both the starters and the main courses were of high quality and simply delicious. The prices are appropriate for the quality of the food.

Thank you for a lovely evening with once again delicious food and great service.

Kurzfristig reserviert und sehr gut gegessen. Leckere krosse Ente, Curryhuhn, Rindfleisch, 2x gebratenes Schweinefleisch und für unsere vegane tochter leckeres Brokkoli Gemüse. Alle Gerichte schön angerichtet und sehr lecker! Der Service (Family) total aufmerksam und freundlich. Vielen dank und wir kommen nächstes Jahr wieder.

Very good service. The dishes are freshly prepared and always very tasty. I can only recommend the restaurant again and again.

We always went there when we were nearby, but definitely not anymore. My beef meal was good but more expensive than anywhere else. My partner wanted something with duck, but not a duck dish under 26 euros, as she didn't want to have it on principle. Then she took something with chicken, which didn't taste great. Conclusion: We eat out a lot of Asian food but nowhere else has it been as expensive as here and we are simply not prepared to pay that. We know of many examples that offer a great meal for a real price and where the food is fresh and prepared in-house. Then good luck with your concept, but now without us. Bye

We have been to this restaurant for a long time and were very shocked today. There were no tables outside in this beautiful weather prepared. In the restaurant itself there were only 2 tables occupied. When we got the card we were amazed at the prices being way too high. Duck not less than 26€ Other dishes all around €20. Holiday area or not... the restaurant will not survive

We have been coming for many, many years and are always thrilled by the family atmosphere that we are treated to... the food was delicious... from the homemade spring rolls to the crispy duck chop suey... there is always time for a little in between Chatting 🙏and laughing... You're great... nowhere else does duck taste as good as yours 🙏

Insider tip! Great food, very friendly service and beautiful Indoor location.

I've been eating with you every time for 3 years now and it's a pleasure. We are already looking forward to next year.

Perfekt Leckeres Essen, freundliches Personal.ich werden mal wieder hier essen Es ist sehr zu empfehlen. Wir kommen wieder

Very tasty food, nice classic ambience

Super delicious food, everyone was very friendly

I was there before and was a bit skeptical at first because of the location and external appearance: completely wrong! Rarely have we had such delicious and, above all, high-quality Chinese food! Fresh vegetables, good ingredients, excellent taste! The entire family works in the restaurant and was consistently friendly, flexible and absolutely accommodating!! Thanks again for the great service and delicious food!

Eating nothing except soy Fried noodles without vegetables

Very good quality and tasty food, very friendly service by a multi-generational team and a cozy atmosphere. We've really enjoyed staying here so far, but unfortunately the prices have risen quite a bit and the portions have become smaller. Fried noodles or fried rice now cost €5 extra. Unfortunately this is too expensive for us.

Nice atmosphere, service took longer even though there wasn't much going on. The food was very expensive, but I guess in the holiday area you can take as much as possible. Not recommended for me.

Food was ok, but nothing more. We know it better from other Chinese restaurants. Very expensive. Fried noodles instead of rice costs 5 euros extra😨. So my chop suey with baked chicken breast cost 24.50 euros. A total of 4 meals with 4 drinks 110 euros

Big disappointment after reopening in March 2024... With all due understanding for increased costs, the price of 17 euros for, for example, fried noodles with duck strips, which you had to look for, is completely unreasonable. You couldn't say that the dish was tasty either, the display was careless...the buffet was probably canceled last year and is currently not available to choose from. Unfortunately no recommendation for a visit.

Fantastisches Essen, gutes Preis -/ Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr nette Bedienung. Ich war wirklich positiv überrascht und werde dort auf jeden Fall bei Gelegenheit noch einmal vorbei schauen.

Not recommended. Food drowned in slimy sauce. The staff was incapable of criticism and wanted to gloss over the food. At least the beer was good.

We discovered Xiao while on vacation last year and after our first visit it was clear that it wouldn't be the first and last time we'd come back. We have been there four times now and have always been very satisfied! What others call kitsch is just the decoration that was available in Chinese restaurants back then! Today some Chinese belong to chains and are therefore stylish system caterers. So it's a matter of taste whether you find it beautiful or kitschy. We found it quaint and cozy. The food is pleasantly seasoned and the vegetables still have the desired bite. The service is second to none because it is still of the old style. We were always warmly welcomed and given good advice. Therefore: full marks. And at this point: Thank you for the successful evenings.

Das Essen war wir hatten war super lecker. Haben zum ersten Mal im Restaurant gesessen, sonst immer nur Essen mitgenommen. Hat uns sehr gefallen, kommen auf jeden Fall wieder 👍

Ganz ordentlicher Chinese. Essen war gut, das Ambiente authentisch. Leider wurde bei mir das Dessert total vergessen und ich musste es nochmal bestellen.

Sehr lecker gegessen mit einer großen Gruppe, alle Gerichte waren sehr gut

Ein MUSS WENN WIR AUF FEHMARN SIND, GEHT ES EINEN TAG AUFS FESTLAND ZUM CHINESEN.

Leckeres Essen, freundliche Inhaberin. Nur die Bestellung eines Extrawunsches war ein wenig kompliziert, obwohl wir es bezahlen wollten.

Sehr schöne Familienfeier mit leckerem Essen. Super freundliches Personal.

Sehr guter Service, das Essen war einfach super. Kommen gerne wieder.

Leider war es geschmacklich nicht so toll

Sehr leckeres Essen was sein Preis Wert war, die Eigentümer sind sehr freundlich und man fühlt sich gut aufgehoben. Das Essen kam auf Warmhalteplatten, damit man bis zum Schluss warmes Essen hat, sehr gut. Ich hatte knuspriges Hähnchen mit Reis, meine Freundin ebenfalls. Werden definitiv wieder hingehen, sobald es uns wieder nach Heiligenhafen verschlägt.

Sehr netter Service, das Essen war richtig lecker. Wan-tan gebacken ist sehr zu empfehlen und die Ente war schön kross. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend und kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Lange nicht so hervorragend gegessen!!!

Sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, Essen super lecker.

Ich schreibe selten Rezensionen, aber hier muss es einfach mal sein. Wir waren jetzt öfters vor Ort Essen. Und jedes mal war es sehr sehr lecker. Der/Die Koch/e wissen wie man leckeres Essen zubereitet und Serviert. Jedes mal wenn wir da waren, waren die Teller immer Leer. Als Vorspeise Empfehle ich jedem die Gebackenen Wan-Tan. Der Service ist auch immer sehr lieb und freundlich. Und die klein Cocktails zum schluss, sind ebenso echt köstlich :P Wir kommen immer wieder gerne vorbei Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Die mit den 2 Hunden :)

gutes und schnelles Essen und super netter Kellner

Gute Adresse wenn man freundlich bedient werden mag und lecker chinesisch essen mag. Bin jedes Mal zufrieden dort. Empfehlung.

Die Ente 🦆 ist super sowas von knusprig und zart

Die Bedienung war freundlich und geduldig. Das Essen gut und reichlich. Gerne wieder.

Sehr nette Bedienung, sehr leckeres Essen das Restaurant kann man nur weiterempfehlen

Gutes Essen Nette bedienung gehe immer wieder gern hin

Krosse ente mit Nudeln für 27€ Ich musste erstmal schlucken bei den Preisen aber es ist wirklich ein besonderes Erlebnis diese knusperente. Ich hatte Erdnuss sauce dazu, und das war leider ein fehler. Die sauce hatte ihre Bindung verloren und war ein krissliger Haufen Fett und dadurch nicht sehr appetitlich. Schade denn dies hat das Erlebnis getrübt.

Super lecker, freundliches Personal, sehr zu empfehlen.

Freundliches Personal, essen lecker

Sehr leckere Gerichte und sehr freundliches Personal. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wenn es uns nochmal nach Heiligenhafen verschlagen sollte, werden wir hier definitiv wieder einkehren.

Das Essen ist sehr gut, die Bedinnung freundlich. Die Räumlichkeiten finde ich zu dunkel. WC sauber.

Klassisches, aber wunderbar gepflegtes China-Restaurant. Große Auswahl an Speisen, wirklich erstklassige Qualität. Hochwertige chinesische Holzschnitzerei verzieren den Speisesaal. Sehr freundliche und engagiertes Personal, außerordentlich freundlich. Wärmste Empfehlung von der Familie und mir!

Wie immer fühlt man sich wie bei guten Bekannten. Essen schmeckt ausgezeichnet.

Zu wenig Reis dabei seit diesem Jahr. Dafür viel zuviel Sprossen. Ok, war aber früher besser.

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr nette Inhaber. Kein Buffet, aber reichlich und lecker À la carte Essen, top! Gebratenes Rindfleisch scharf ist wirklich zu empfehlen! Die Frühlingsrolle des Hauses ist etwas klein, aber sehr schmackhaft! Toll, ich komme wieder!

Trotzdem schon fast geschlossen war wurden wir noch äußerst freundlich bedient und das Essen war sehr lecker.

Hatten Stammgericht - 364 (gebackenes Hühnerfleisch ) und 368 (Hühnerfleisch acht Kostbarkeiten ), die Suppe war sehr lecker, doch die Stammgerichte nicht . Wenig Gemüse ,die Soßen sehr dünn und bei 368 waren Garnelen mit drauf ,stand aber nicht dabei ! Ich mag keine Garnelen . Waren Enttäuscht 😞 Wegen der Suppe 3 Sterne fürs Essen.

Die schlechten Bewertungen können wir gar nicht nachvollziehen. Wir sind seit vielen Jahren hier Gäste und sind bisher nie enttäuscht worden. Das Essen war geschmacklich Top aber auch hier (wo nicht!) hat das Restaurant seine Preise angezogen. Es ist aber noch im Rahmen geblieben. Von uns eine klare Empfehlung.

Guter freundlicher Service und leckeres Essen. Gute Portionen. Etwas zu hohe Preise

Schon die Bestellung war eine schwierige Sache dann kam das erste nicht bestellte essen ,noch 2 mal falsch ,danach haben wir es aufgegebene... nach dem essen ging dann das bauchweh los ,von 6 leuten 4 mit problemen ... Wir können dieses Restaurant auf keinen fall empfehlen
