Restaurant Hang Zhou — Restaurant in Gilching

Who would have expected such an authentic and amazing chinese restaurant in the remote outskirts of Munich. We were staying at the Courtyard just a few minutes away as a quick overnight on our trip. We stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to give them a try.

It wasn't crowded at all when we arrived and the owners sat us immediately and came by to chat with us.

At the end of the meal we were given a peach schnapps, to help with digestion. On reflection the walk home could have been longer, having rate. Too...

There’s something about authentic Chinese and the reward it brings as you stumble back to your hotel from all-day drinking during the Oktoberfest holiday. The satisfaction gained by the quiet, peaceful ambiance and the first bite of crispy duck in sweet and sour sauce. The zen and tranquility this place provides is just what is needed. The fact that the owners son, Kev, runs around and handles the whole operation like a champ makes that much more special. I know after going to Germany I’ll be back for the...
