Mei Moon

I am careful in writing negative feedback, as all restaurants deserve more than one chance. However, today's visit to MeiMoon was quite simply
terrible. The service was virtually non existent. The staff barely interacted with us and made us feel actively unwelcome.
The quality of the food was unbelievably poor. This place used to have relatively good Dim Sum, but now all of it is frozen.
Furthermore, in order to save money, the restaurant does not provide the usual Dim Sum sauce.

There's a reason this Hamburg Chinese restaurant has such a large Chinese, Thai, Filipino clientele; it's the real deal done well. Reasonably priced lunch specials, good portions, tasty food, and comfortable seating are the pros. Don't let some of the surly staff or sublevel dwelling deter you. You're bound to leave feeling you have achieved preiswert!

We went during a weekday during lunch time & avail the lunch menu. It was not full, thus, we enjoyed a good service from them. They have a variety of dimsums to choose from. Choices for the main course is also very good. The menu have english translation/description in it and the waitress can speak mandarin. The prices are affordable.

Each of the menu comes with a complimentary appetizer: soup -or- springroll. We enjoyed all the dishes (see submitted photos) and giving them all two thumbs up!

The restaurant size is kinda small, but they do have two big round tables available for people coming in groups. Will definitely come back & will definitely recommend to others.

Serves food til midnight every day of the week, including Sunday. Centrally located. Ordered 4 Dim Sum plates, two bowls of Hot and Sour soup and one plate of Chinese vegetables. My boyfriend had a beer. All for about 33 euros. Service was fast, friendly and the food came out quickly.

The Dim Sum plates were fine. We got the steamed puns with pork, the pork and shrimp dlsteamed dumpling, fish balls and fried tofu. The only dish that was really great was the tofu. I wouldn't recommend the fish balls.

The best part of the meal was the soup and the vegetables, but mostly the soup. It was a large portion and was the best version of Hot and Sour I've ever had. It's impressive when a place makes a classic exciting like that. And only for 2.60 euros a bowl. I'll be coming back here for a late night soup for sure.

This restaurant exists since forever. The first time I came here I was still a kid. Since back then nothing has changed.
The food is still the same, the seats and tables are the same. It's auhtentic chinese food and Dim Sum.

I don't give it 4 stars, because yelp tells me "I'm a fan." which I'm not. I don't think any normal person would be a fan of a restaurant.
I don't give it 5 stars, because it isn't as good as it gets.

BUT I still highly recommend this place. It's good ;) And a lot of chinese eat here. The prove of quality.

This basic place across the street from Central Station is frequented by many Asians, which I would assume speaks for some authenticity.
I was here for a late lunch - a roughly 10-11€ affair when you include a small drink. The spring roll I got was burnt and tasteless. The main dish was a little better, still unremarkable.
At the lunch rate it beats all options at the station itself, but I would not have liked to pay dinner prices for this quality. If you like Indian food too, you'll probably have a better time at Badshah just a few houses up the street.

Even without trying any other dim sum restaurants in Hamburg, I'm pretty sure Mei Moon will be our go-to place for dim sum. The hubby and I stopped in after an afternoon of shopping, so we were famished. It was barely 6pm, so I'd like to think we avoided the dinner crowd. The restaurant, though down a small, alley-like street, was not hard to find. You can't miss the red signage.

Mei Moon wouldn't be a true Chinese restaurant if they didn't have a giant menu, and this they did have indeed. We stuck with just the dim sum menu and already that was about 40+ items. We ordered 7 items, all of which were super tasty.

My favorites included:
- Rice roll with BBQ pork
- Shark fin dumplings
- Prawn dumpling with leeks

Probably one of the best parts about the meal was the chili oil. Seriously. It was spicy as heck and very fragrant. Very different, in a good way, than the chili oil I've had at home in SF.

Service was friendly, food came out pretty fast and pricing is pretty on par with dim sum places in SF. We look forward to coming back to try the other non-dim-sum offerings.

1. homeless could come in to beg for food while you are eating ( so environment is bad)
2. food quality --- bad ( I'm Asian, so maybe I'm too strict on the taste.)
3. cheap --- so I still go there from time to time. When it get better, I will reverse my review :)

There really are NO DISGUSTING words that I could possibly muster to perfectly describe what a horrible place this was! From the get go the waiter was such crabby old man- I asked for hoisin sauce he looked at me like I was asking for marinara sauce! Later to give it time I asked for some ice to cool the €9 euro bottle of water that was room temperature & he literally rolled his eyes at me- Seriously? Ok whatever- just bring the dim sum out and be done with it- a few plates of mediocre fare later he brings out what should have been the highlight- Sticky rice wrapped in a lotus leaf- we carefully unwrapped the steamy hot item only to find what looked like a massive dung with no discernible rice grains to speak of- just a big brown turd of mush- still I dissected it as supposedly it contained chicken- which at the very center was a dried up tasteless chicken wing- bone in and just GROSS! I called the crabby old man over and lied that while we enjoyed the other items that this was just inedible- thank you please retire it from the table- which he did- I felt bad for having returned something so I asked for another small plate of dim sum to make up for it- but when the bill came to my surprise he had charged me for the lotus wrapped pile of ... and so I said to him- I'm sorry but you forgot to remove this from my bill- and he insisted that he would not take it off my bill that I HAD TO PAY! I was indignant at how utterly preposterous this was- I have rarely returned anything and when I have the service has been apologetic and settled quickly- the crab would not let up and the scene he was making in the restaurant had me on pins and needles- there's a price for dignity and it was obvious his was €6 euros! NEVER EAT HERE if you're in Hamburg! Try the Dim Sum Haus literally around the corner! Bon Appetit! Just NOT at the Mei Moon-

Amazing food in a warm, somewhat stuffy basement filled with Chinese people even on Tuesday night (always a good sign).
Very good Dim Sum, Kai Lan with garlic, even the small spring rolls were perfect super crispy and fresh. This is REAL Chinese.
I have had a lot of Chinese food over the years but this was certainly one of the best and I will certainly go here again on my next visit to Hamburg :)
