A lively Thai fusion joint, with a large seating capacity and great ambience. You can tell this is place is frequented by the younger locals, which is always a good sign.

A small menu but decent variety, had a sampling of samplers (the saté, dumplings and summerolls). Overall pretty good, though the summeroll wrappers were a little thick and dry for my tastes. For dessert I had the mango ice cream and cake, light and sweet with large crisp coconut flakes.

Service was responsive and friendly, and my plates were cleared in a timely manner (something that can be hit or miss in Germany).

What lost the last star for me was availability. For a menu of about 30 items (appetizers, main courses and desserts included) I wouldn't have expected 3 of the items I had ordered to not be in stock. I don't regret the alternatives I chose, but still surprising.

Great place. Had their Gyoza and Dirty Bowl, was delicious!

I had to go back again and try some more food today,... the Thom Kha Gai soup is the best!
So far 10/10

So it looks like really luxury place. We ordered some bowls and dumplings. My salad was ok but my friend ordered bowl with shrimps. When dish was served there was no shrimps in it, we asked what problem was. The waitress told us that it would take time to cook shrimps and we need to wait. We waited. It took lots of time to bring us dumplings as well. Gyoza were really nice, but the waitress gave us veg dumplings instead of Italian one. She told us that she would bring us our order instead of the wrong one. But she didn't. And then she disappeared. We asked a male waiter about our order, and he brought us our shrimps and have us free coffee. In the end when we asked bill we noticed that the waitress added one more hipster dumpling (so there were 2 positions in the bill and none on the table) and there was a position that we didnt order. But thanks to the waiter he redid the bill and we paid for what we had eaten.
So it took us a lot if time and we were still hungry when leaving.
I think it really depends on waiters. Cause if were served by the last guy it would be nice dinner

A chick place in the center of Hamburg. A couple of minutes walking distance from the train station. Where you can have "Asian food". Well it's good and tasty, but definitely not Asian at all. Let me say that it's a reinterpretation of it. I had the spring salad, that it theory was with mango but it was not there... And I added chicken but those breasts were really dry.

Very disappointed - the food is BLAND, does not taste Asian at all. We got the yellow coconut curry bowl: where is the coconut ? Does not taste like anything, not even curry. Over cooked tofu. Extra small spring rolls, there were the avocado and mango. The sauces are not really good. Dry rice.
I short, very nice but misleading decor. Expensive regarding the quality of the plates. Also the vegetables are very roughly chopped.
Disappointed :( leaving hungry.

I used to frequent coa and love it, but haven't been there in a while, since then the menu was redone.

The new menu is disappointing in its reduced size since some of my favourites were sadly no longer available. My most recent visit today made it clear that I won't be coming back.
The summer rolls were smaller than my pinky and overall gone in two bites (where they used to be a normal size), the main course took quite a while to arrive and was the saddest excuse for a meal I had in a while. I would recommend not wasting 12€ on undercooked duck with flavourless oil laden vegetables and rice that has seen better days (since it was dry as can be).
I was honestly so disappointed to have wasted my money on this meal, spare yourself this experience and go to an Asia imbiss, you'll get more for your money.
