"On the way home from Hamburg Airport at noon, I was driving this ancient Chinese restaurant. I knew it from an earlier visit, knew that numerous residents from the surrounding area would eat there lunchtime or order food to pick up. It was still ten minutes until the official opening time when I entered the restaurant and was immediately greeted by the staff behind the vault. I was looking for a second table near the windows. I had hardly taken any place when a waiter came to the table, the menu was enough for me and the tealight standing on the table was lit The restaurant team has been working there for a long time, the service employees all speak pretty good to almost perfect German and partly without accent. Even today, they were all very friendly and attentive and occasionally changed a few words with obvious regular guests. Food There is the usual program of a “German” Chinese at moderate prices, with a lunch table offering about twelve menus in the range between 7,50 and 10,00 € with a breakout of 12,30 €, most of which are at 7,80 €. There is also a soup (standard Beijing soup, but you can also order another or a spring roll. I chose the menu 2, “Brown beef according to Szechuan-Art, sharp” (8,30 € and also the soup, as a drink I ordered a Cola light (0,3l for 2,80 €). After a short time the waiter came with the ordered drink and a schnapps glass. He put the cola on the table and asked if I wanted a plum wine. When I nodded, he put the schnapps glass on the table and then disappeared again towards Tresen. It then took a while, then another waiter brought the soup in the usual Chinese peel with porcelain spoon. In the usual, slightly thickened liquid there were the usual, extremely small chopped pieces of vegetables and chicken meat, some sliced salmon were scattered over it. The soup was hot and made her second name “Sauer-sharf soup” quite honor, because she was both a little sour and a little sharp. The soup was consumed and the peel was cleared, shortly after that the waiter who had received the order placed a hot plate on the table and a plate on it. In the second gear, he then brought a metal bowl with rice and a plate with the meat and vegetables mixture. I filled rice and the mixture on the plate and began to eat. The vegetables – carrots, onions, peppers, celery and bamboo sprouts – were fresh and crisp, of course with the exception of onions. As usual, the meat was not fried sharply with crust, therefore delicate and tasteful. Overall, a successful composition, which, contrary to the announcement in the map and, of course, also of the type described (Szechuan usually has hardly any noticeable sharpness. I plundered the Sambal container, but that didn't really help. Ambiente Solid ambience with lots of wood in medium brown tone, without the often usual red orgies or even wild carvings. The seat cushions of the chairs and benches in red, the backrests red-brown patterned. On the tables there was a cream-white tablecloth made of brocade cloth, on it diagonally a middle blanket in the same type. There was a red middle ceiling, also diagonally. A flowering in a glass vase, a tealight in the acrylic glass stand and a massage with the usual spices completed the arrangement. The glass panes on the partitions between the tables were decorated with etched motifs. Cleanliness The guest room was clearly clean and well maintained, even plates, glasses and cutlery were perfectly clean. I didn't visit the toilet, so no statement is possible."
