The story
Jin is a Chinese restaurant at Kanalstr. 14 in Munich, rated 3 by Der Feinschmecker in 2026. The Asian menu centres on fish and seafood, offered as a set menu and à la carte.
Chef Hao Jin draws on the home region south of Shanghai, and the seafood shows it. Cuttlefish is cut into fine strips and gently poached in hot broth with sesame oil, leek and paprika. Sea bass forms the base of a warming soup with white shrimp, cod and seasonal white asparagus.
Breton lobster is steamed, picked and finished with ginger, rice wine and hot leek oil. The noodle soup uses house-made ramen noodles and beef fillet, marinated in soy sauce, rice wine and ginger, then seared in a very hot wok for seconds.
The dining room is Far Eastern and minimalist, without ethnic decoration, and the chef himself takes a personal role in service. The wine list runs to around 160 selections, with a focus on Riesling and Burgundy.

History
Concept A restaurant like a short trip to China. Menu and à la carte. Culinary Style Chef Hao Jin's home region south of Shanghai inspires many dishes: cuttlefish, sliced into fine strips and gently poached in hot broth, flavored with sesame oil, leek, and paprika. Sea bass frames form the base for an intense, stomach-warming soup of white shrimp and cod, with white asparagus providing seasonal accents. A highlight is the Breton lobster, steamed, picked, and flavored with ginger, rice wine, and hot leek oil. And for those still not full, there's Jin's legendary noodle soup with homemade ramen noodles and beef fillet, marinated in soy sauce, rice wine, and ginger before being flash-seared in a screaming-hot wok for just seconds. Wine A committed wine list tailored to the culinary style, featuring around 160 selections, with a focus on Riesling and Burgundy. Atmosphere Far Eastern minimalist design without any ethnic kitsch, complemented by the highly personal service of the chef. Conclusion Relaxed enjoyment with culinary dedication for Asia fans.
