"Nestled in Hamburg's Karoviertel, Cai Kitchen reinvents Sichuan cuisine with bold, vegan flavors. Don’t miss their Dan Dan Noodles or homemade spicy sauce!"

Nestled in the vibrant Karoviertel, Cai Kitchen redefines Chinese cuisine with a contemporary vegan twist that is as delicious as it is daring. This cosy restaurant specialises in the rich flavours of Sichuan cuisine, offering dishes that explode with flavour without the use of meat or dairy.

A local favourite is the Dan Dan Noodles — perfect for a spicy lunchtime kick. With minimalist decor and dine-in and takeaway options, Cai Kitchen is a culinary gem in the heart of one of Hamburg's most charming neighbourhoods. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or want to explore new taste horizons, it promises an unforgettable dining experience.

My absolute favourite is the DanDan-style noodles.

To add to the allure, the restaurant sells its homemade spicy sauce so you can recreate the magic at home. Be sure to check their opening hours to plan your visit so you don't miss out on this delicious culinary experience.
