Xuanhe Cuisine (also known as Qiuhe Chinese Cuisine) has quickly made its mark in Dortmund. This new restaurant brings authentic Chinese flavors to the city, earning a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026 – a remarkable achievement for a newcomer.

Cold dishes like cucumber in garlic sauce, chicken drumstick in chili sauce, and salted duck offer refreshing starters. For those who enjoy bold flavors, the wontons in Sichuan chili oil and chicken feet in Thai style are worth exploring.
Whether you are looking for a full meal or a quick bite, the menu covers all bases: appetizers, soups, rice and noodle specialties, and a range of meat and seafood dishes.
