Hello I'm a Hongkonger. I just looked for a local restaurant in Munich via travellers blog. This was the 1st restaurant I've tried in Germany actually. At the beginning my fd and me just waiting for someone to bring us but no one come to us when we step in the areas where outdoor... Then we went to the front door and finally someone bring us. We've try to order 3 main dishes: a half knuckle, 5 sausages and one i forgot. The waiter wondered and asked whether we are very hungry and we asked about the size of one dish... That's very nice of him!! Finally he's very helpful for helping us to make sacrifice and we asked him to recommend us to pick the beer and it really suits us finally. We tried the HB restaurant another night and we came back at our last night in Munich as it's really delicious, gd services. We like the sauces there and the beer taste good. The staffs are nice. The other one of them concerned us about the food as we already felt very full of completing 60% of the food. The crispy skin of the knuckle is great!!

First the good... the food we had was nice, tasty and arrived hot. The service was not so great. A friend and I decided to order a variety of dishes and share. We were part of a larger group on the table. We simply ordered 3 dishes between the 2 of us. This was made overly complicated by the waitress, who immediately started getting angry and rolling her eyes thinking we had made a mistake. She started suggesting (in German but we had German speakers in the group) that we made a mistake, we did not, we simply wanted 3 different dishes to share. The confusion (bear in mind we had German speakers so this was not a language issue) meant that she put down extra food whilst ammeding. When an extra dish turned up (totalling 4 for 2 people) that we had not ordered, she simply insisted we were lying and refused to take it back. To finish, the resturant had also put down an addition beer which was not ordered by the table onto the bill. They then came back 3 times to ask us what each person had ordered! We can guarantee that this drink was not ordered and if it was it certainly never arrived! Bad service, dont get angry and assume customers are stupid. If you think there is an issue, try simply repeating the order back and not just getting angry at the customer and erasing and adding things to the order note. Food good but won't return due to service.

We were served by a young black waiter with a scar on his lip (I give this for the manager's information and as a warning to customers). Above all, he did not listen when I, a woman, spoke. He only addressed my father and asked him to confirm things I was saying. The food was moderately tasty, but maybe it was not our tastes, hence I do not want to judge on that basis. In addition, the waiter, without our knowledge, added 2 extra portions of bread to us, and when, after bringing the bill, I asked why (while we were eating we were not even aware that these were extra portions) and tried to explain that we did not need these portions because we did not eat them anyway, he asked what my problem was. I approached the manager at the end of our visit and he kindly offered compensation in the form of liquor, for which I give 3 stars with the atmosphere, no less the whole experience was unpleasant.

My family was fighting outside the restaurant because we couldn’t decide where to eat and I didn’t want to eat at this restaurant. When we finally decided to go in, my expectations were not high. As a vegetarian, I wasn’t expecting a wide variety of options at an establishment like this one. However, I was surprised beyond my wildest dreams. I ordered the vegetable curry, and it was easily my best meal in Germany, and maybe even one of the best meals of my life. Additionally, my mother and grandmother both ordered the beet ravioli which was PHENOMENAL as well! Not only did this place have wonderful options for everyone, but the execution of the dishes was top notch. Our waitress was very kind, and the service was incredibly quick. BEST RESTAURANT IN MUNICH!!!

The staff is rude and I feel like being racist. When ordering, the waiter said "quick quick, we have many tables serving". but we never ask any questions, why he was so impatient? And finished my lunch and came out of the door, another waiter PUSHED me from my back and said I was blocking him. I really feel bad as the location was nice but the staff were so rude. I observed that the waiter is in better manner with white customers. And this is the worst experience in my 14-days trip in central europe. I Iater notice from the pervious comments that people also complainted about the staff's manner. The restaurant owner replied that he/she has told the staff to improve. But obviously it’s useless.
