There are a lot of Chinese/Cantonese restaurants around Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. This time we tried the Dim Sum Haus from a recommendation of one of our colleagues. It’s her favourite Dim Sum restaurant in Hamburg. Dim Sum is a kind of Cantonese cuisine, which 2-3 pieces of food is served on steamer baskets or small plates. There can be more than 100 different kinds of Dim Sum.
The decoration in Dim Sum Haus has a traditional Chinese style, it gives a very peaceful atmosphere to eat Dim Sum there. The staff is like many other traditional Chinese restaurants, middle age women working there who always seem to sound a bit grumpy and in a rush.
We’ve tried some very delicious Dim Sum in Hong Kong before. Generally speaking, we find the food in Dim Sum Haus is good, but not great. Some of the dishes we found it a bit too greasy, and some we found the taste a bit too strong and salty. The Stir-fry Ho-Fan with Beef tastes very delicious, but we found the noodles are all broken into very small pieces (it’s a bit too small…). Cha Siu Bao tastes like how had it in Hong Kong too, but we wish there were more barbeque pork inside.
It is always nice to go for dim sum and have a great variety of food in one meal. For the taste of the food in Dim Sum Haus, we still find it a bit overpriced. But its location is great if you would like to eat something before you catch the train.
Food we ordered:
- Lo Bak Gao (Radish Cake)
- Ma-tei Gau (Waterchestnut Cake)
- Cha Siu Bao (Barbeque Pork Bun)
- Buddha-Rollen (Tofu sheet roll with Chinese mushroom and Bamboo)
- Siu Lung Bao (Dumplings with broth inside)
- Stir-fry Ho-Fan (Thick Rice Noodles) with Beef
