Gloria Maris Restaurant

I revisited Gloria Maris in 2020 during the early stages of the pandemic and was glad to see that it was still a bustling restaurant with both formal and casual dining areas. The overall dining experience was average, with nothing particularly standout or memorable. The sweet and sour pork seemed to be lacking in pork and was a bit overly sauced. The Peking duck was presented well, with the duck being carved and wraps made for us, but there was an excessive amount of sauce inside. The service was decent, with plates being cleared promptly and food delivered at a reasonable pace. However, what bothered me were the ventilation vents above our table, which appeared dirty and possibly not cleaned in a while. It made me wonder about the cleanliness of the air being circulated. Additionally, the air conditioning seemed lacking, leaving us feeling a bit warm in our corner of the restaurant.

This restaurant follows the traditional "Imperial Dining" style, which is very typical. I want to caution diners that they may not find the familiar comfort of Chinese food here. I tried the "Mantis Shrimps" which were skillfully prepared and presented. The dish was flavorful and well-cooked, but had a more adventurous taste profile. Overall, this restaurant is still great, but guests should come with an open mind and be prepared for a unique imperial dining experience.

The atmosphere is nice and quiet here and eating is a bit expensive, but it is good value. I ate here almost every week as a child if we would visit my grandparents.

Since 1. januar 2020 this original gloria maris fine essruhm had new peculiarities and is renamed. try them now simply neatly, but expensive for the dimsum noodle section. the suppe lasted 25 minutes. I don't know if I'm returning, the usual amount has thinned out.

Ate here for the despedida of my sister in law and was treated to a delightful duck course. We were well taken cared of, and they were nice enough to waive corkage. Will return!
