Green Papaya — Restaurant in Hamburg

Overall, the experience was not the best.

As soon as we arrived, we asked for a table, but the staff were brusque and unfriendly. We were either ignored or forgotten, and no table was assigned to us, even though a couple of them were clearly available. Eventually, a kind couple got up and offered us their table, so we sat down on our own without any help from the staff.

After placing our order, we waited quite a long time for the food to arrive. In the meantime, at least three or four tables that were seated after us were served first.

We ordered three dishes:

Mixed Sushi #1 (€20): this included 2 salmon nigiri, 2 tuna nigiri, 6 salmon maki, and 8 California inside-out rolls; a total of 18 pieces. The fish wasn’t particularly fresh or flavorful; not awful, but very average. It was acceptable with soy sauce. On the bright side, the presentation was nice, and the portion was generous.

Gyoza Gemüse (€7): six tasty vegetable dumplings!

Summerrollen mit Gebrackens Lachsfilet (€7): these were unpleasant and not enjoyable at all. That said, it might come down to personal taste.

As for the drinks, the prices were extremely high. For example a tiny 0.25L bottle of water, barely enough to fill a small glass, cost €3.20, while a 0.5L bottle was €5.50. We took two drinks, Hanoi Green and Saigon Night, both 0.4L and priced at €6.50 each. They tasted good, but unfortunately weren’t particularly cold and the quantity was minimal.

When we asked for the bill at the end of our meal, we had to wait once again before we could actually pay.

The total cost for one sushi platter, two appetizers, and two drinks...

Come here with the emphasis on pan-Asian in mind.

The menu is very extensive, has a lot of dishes, and can be overwhelming. I don't generally trust restaurants with long menus because they tend to be meh trying to do/be too much at once. The most obvious cuisines span from Thai food to Vietnamese food to Japanese food, though it seems to lean more towards Vietnamese. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the food, and it wasn't bad.

I had the duck curry dish, and it was actually pretty good. The duck was fried to a nice, crispy texture. The curry part was too mild (not spicy and could use more spices), but the portion was generous and good...

This renowned Asian restaurant offers exceptional dining experiences. The outdoor seating area creates a pleasant ambiance, especially during the summer months.

The staff consistently displays courtesy and hospitality.

The culinary offerings are of exceptional quality, featuring a diverse array of delectable dishes. The portions are generously sized, and the pricing is surprisingly reasonable.

I highly recommend making reservations in advance, especially during peak dining hours. To our surprise, we were able to secure the last available table without...
