The story
Xīn is a modern Chinese restaurant in Rotterdam, located at 's-Gravendijkwal 68 inside the Supernova Hotel. Michelin lists it as Recommended in 2026, and the modern Chinese kitchen of chef Alexander Wong sits at the center of the experience.
Xīn means "new" in Chinese, and the name fits Wong's approach. He reimagines traditional dishes and gives familiar flavors a fresh perspective. His cooking balances bold, sharp flavors with a refined touch.
Wong grew up in Rotterdam and developed his craft in several demanding kitchens, including La Pergola in Rome. A foundation in classical French technique shapes how he builds his modern Chinese dishes.
Guests can choose a chef's menu at €88 per person, served per table, or a signature menu at €65 per person. Groups of five or more are served the chef's menu only. Gault&Millau awarded the restaurant 13.5 for 2026, praising the way the kitchen shows that Chinese gastronomy reaches well beyond its familiar classics.
