The story
Chu Chin, located on Ismaninger Straße in Munich, has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its good quality, good value cooking. The restaurant offers a refined take on Hakka cuisine, a tradition rooted in the Hakka people of China. The menu, however, draws heavily from Vietnamese culinary traditions, creating a distinctive fusion that feels both familiar and fresh.
The menu is extensive, with sections for soups, appetizers, dumplings, salads, and main courses. Standouts include the clay-pot dishes: CƠM CHÁY XÀO RAU pairs crispy rice with vegetables, while CƠM CHÁY XÀO THẬP CẨM adds beef, chicken, and seafood. The BÒ LÚC LẮC – beef fillet cubes with shallots, shiitake, and snow peas – is a popular choice. For something lighter, the PHỞ GÀ, a traditional chicken broth with rice noodles, hits the spot. Vegetarians will find plenty of options, from tofu with lemongrass to a glass noodle bowl with sesame-kimchi dressing.
The restaurant also offers a selection of desserts, including a coconut panna cotta and a mango sorbet with ginger. Lunch and dinner are served daily, with a midday menu that changes regularly.
Chu Chin is a full-service restaurant with air conditioning, outdoor seating, and a bar serving cocktails. It caters to events and private parties, and offers takeaway for those who prefer to enjoy their meal at home. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern, making it a suitable spot for both casual lunches and celebratory dinners. Whether you are a longtime fan of Hakka cooking or new to its flavors, Chu Chin delivers a satisfying, Bib Gourmand‑worthy experience.
