Surfkitchen Am Kaiserkai 1 — Restaurant in Hamburg

We ordered currywurst, eggdrop sandwich and korean fried chicken ricewbowl. The best among these dishes is indeed the eggdrop sandwich.

Currywurst tasted normal and ingredients seem cheap. It is not worth it compared to the price, but it tastes ok.

But, the worst was korean fried chicken bowl. First of all, the chicken is not even fried. I am sure it is frozen kaarage that you can buy from asian store. The chef just warmed it. They didn’t even bother to fry it properly. Secondly, sauce is supposed to be proper korean soy sauce or gochujang sauce, but instead they just use ketchup. As an asian, I wanna cry looking at the dish and eating it, this is just making me sad. Please do proper research and more works if you want to broaden your menu.

All in all, their beverages are the best values out of all. I think this place is good just for drinking and enjoying the view. Otherwise, try to stick on what they do best.

ENG: We went there at dinner time on a week day. The restaurant is located directly next to the water line and from your table you have a beautiful view to the water (depending on where you’re sitting). While the staff was nice and the atmosphere cute and chill, the food could have been better.

The prices are reasonable, regarding the location of the restaurant. We ordered the vegan empanadas that for us were rather disappointing. They weren’t badly made, the flavors just didn’t go well with each other at all (to our taste). The guacamole was Asian-inspired and hat sesame seeds on top while the empanadas featured a strong cumin-curry taste and the salad was dressed with a mango-salsa. The salad on its own as well as the guacamole could have been nice but didn’t go well with each other nor the empanadas. And the empanadas themselves were so full of cumin that it just wasn’t very tasty.

Maybe other people might like it or maybe the non-vegan options are better but for us it was just disappointing.

The drinks were not too pricey and quality-wise totally fine. Apart from the food a good experience. Since we went there for the food though I wouldn’t return.

DEU: Wir waren an einem Wochentag zur Abendessenszeit dort. Das Restaurant liegt direkt an der Wasserlinie und vom Tisch aus hat man einen schönen Blick auf das Wasser (je nachdem, wo man sitzt). Das Personal war zwar nett und die Atmosphäre angenehm und entspannt, jedoch ließ das Essen zu wünschen übrig.

Die Preise sind in Anbetracht der Lage des Restaurants angemessen. Wir bestellten die veganen Empanadas, die für uns eher enttäuschend waren. Sie waren nicht schlecht gemacht, die Aromen passten nur überhaupt nicht zueinander (nach unserem Geschmack). Die Guacamole war asiatisch inspiriert und mit Sesam bestreut, die Empanadas hatten einen starken Kreuzkümmel-Curry-Geschmack und der Salat war mit einer Mango-Salsa angemacht. Sowohl der Salat als solcher als auch die Guacamole hätten für sich alleine keine schlechte Beilage ausgemacht, passten aber weder zueinander noch zu den Empanadas. Und die Empanadas selbst waren so stark vom Kreuzkümmel-Geschmack dominiert, dass es für uns einfach nicht sehr lecker war.

Vielleicht ist das einfach Geschmackssache oder vielleicht wären andere vegane Optionen besser gewesen, aber für uns war das Essen enttäuschend.

Die Getränke waren nicht zu teuer und von der Qualität her völlig in Ordnung. Abgesehen vom Essen eine gute Erfahrung. Da wir aber wegen des Essens dort waren, würde ich nicht...

The location of this place is very nice, with sunshine all around, but there are too many wasps if you sit outside. We came for breakfast, but unfortunately I personally didn’t like it. I ordered scrambled eggs with avocado, and neither the eggs nor the avocado were fresh — the eggs were pre-cooked, and the avocado as well. For avocado and eggs, the breakfast price is higher than the actual taste and quality. Honestly, I wouldn’t even give 2 stars for the breakfast, only 1.

The staff and service, however, were very good, and the waiters were kind. The toilet wasn’t very clean. Overall, I wouldn’t come back here...
