The legendary Man Wah in St. Pauli is a good address for an authentic excursion into Chinese cuisine. On Spielbudenplatz, right in the middle of the Reeperbahn, this Kiez restaurant serves Cantonese cuisine without any folkloric trappings: clean lines, marble tables, a thick menu full of delicacies. Reservations strongly recommended.
„The first four pages of dim sum photos alone are worth ordering from: for instance shrimp-filled, crackling crispy tofu sheets with a juicy filling, steamed pork with mushrooms, noodle dumplings with prawns — perfectly seasoned, with good bite. Peking soup, duck and roasted pork Char Siu with cabbage and rice are always a good choice.“
For 50 years now (2027 marked the anniversary) authentic Chinese cuisine has been served here! No dragon décor, no red lantern kitsch: clean lines, cool marble tables, green faux leather. Among the guests there are always tourists and musicians about to head into the Kiez night, and bands and DJs from the surrounding clubs also like to fuel up here beforehand.
