China-Restaurant Jin's Haus 麻辣隔壁 in Darmstadt

A wonderful establishment. I would like to wish the owners only expansion and increase the number of seats. The concept of "build your own plate" is amazing, a very rich selection of various ingredients, many of which were new to me and subsequently became my favorites. A large selection of bouillons. Every time I leave full to the brim and with the feeling of very tasty food)

Very tasty food and a large selection. Unfortunately it's a bit tight.

Food is good. Malatang is a good option for Darmstadt. The store would be larger so that more guests could sit. I like lotus roots and okra. Mushrooms or lemon as a sauce. I only tried bubble tea once and it wasn't particularly good for me. Cost of drinks are almost same as in Asian market. Of course a bit more expensive.

For me a perfect concept. I found another regular restaurant!

Good concept, fresh ingredients, different levels of spiciness> simply SUPER DELICIOUS!! and the teas too!!!

I could eat there every day. I love everything there. Always super fresh and great selection. Unfortunately always very crowded and narrow. The prices are also a bit high if you use “heavy” ingredients.

I ate myself so full here that I could hardly shit the next day. 10/10

The food is super delicious and everyone gets their money's worth thanks to the individual composition! Unfortunately it's very narrow and you're forced to always hear what's going on at the next table. In addition, the employees - especially the gentleman at the checkout - are incredibly unfriendly!

Food is fantastic. You can decide what you put into your bowl. Everything is fresh, however the cooling unit could use some cleaning. Staff is stressed but tries their best to be friendly.

Unfriendly staff, never coming back.

Amazing food with variety of selection. The soup taste delicious. I had tomaten soup. The milk tea is also tasty. Too bad the price is getting more expensive. The place is small and always packed with a lot of people

Disappointing value for money despite good cuisine We recently visited the restaurant and were quite impressed by the quality of the food. The soup tasted excellent and was served very quickly. However, the positive impression was greatly marred by the service and the price-performance ratio. The service seemed unmotivated and was unfortunately not very accommodating. In addition, empty bowls remained on the table for a noticeably long time, which further worsened the overall impression of the visit. However, the price was particularly disappointing: we already paid €53 for two medium-sized soups without drinks. With a bubble tea and a bottle of water the bill ended up being €71. Given the portion size and the simple nature of the dish, this price seems unreasonably high. Overall, the negative aspects outweigh the negative aspects for us, which is why we will stay with this one-off visit. If you expect excellent service and a fair price-performance ratio, you probably won't get your money's worth here.

Very tasty and quick to prepare! The service could be a little nicer, but I don't want to complain, it's always in constant operation.

The food is very tasty and the selection is also good. However, the employees are unfriendly. To be nice, I just wanted to hand my tablet over to the front after eating and I was immediately looked at askance and told that next time I should leave it on the table. The employee was also very impatient when paying by card, even though there was nothing going on. If you want to take your food with you, you would have to pack it yourself; they only give you the box and a bag.

Have been here before with family and friends. Great concept. You fill your bowl with all kinds of veg, meat, pasta and other edible things. You have it weighed and pay for it - €2,65 per 100 grams. You can have added some spices and other ingredients to it. The bowl is then turned into a soup within minutes. Delicious.

I was here for the first time today and was surprised at how much choice there is in terms of soup options. Everything you can imagine in terms of vegetables, meat, all kinds of pasta and even mushrooms. The choice of broth is also very modular, be it in terms of taste or spiciness. You have to be careful when choosing side dishes. You pay by weight per 100g and it quickly becomes heavy. But the soup afterwards is very rich and tasty. I'd love to come back. Be careful though, the shop is full to capacity at lunchtime.

Jin’s Haus is a great place to enjoy a meal in Darmstadt. The concept of choosing your own ingredients and broth adds a personal touch and makes the experience enjoyable. There’s a great variety to pick from, so it’s easy to find something that suits your taste. Their bubble tea is recommended and complements the meal nicely. The space is quite small, and because it’s so popular, it can sometimes be tricky to find a table. The seating is a bit close together, but the warm atmosphere and quality of the food make up for it.

Very tasty soups that you can put together yourself.

Small but nice, the food is prepared very quickly.

Very good food! Always busy and fresh food! Gladly again

food is ok, the meats are still frozen so the ice is also accounted to the weight of the food that u pick :/ very unfriendly staff i had diarrhea and had to go to the toilet for 4 times after eating here :// not sure if it was the food but i think it is worth noticing

The woman is so unfriendly but the food is so delicious

Super delicious!!!! You can put everything together individually. There are a variety of vegetables and meat options, so there is something for everyone. Unfortunately it is very tight there and there is a huge rush. That's why you eat and then leave so that the next people can sit. Whatever is left can be taken with you.

Great how you can pick your own ingredients and broth and basically make the perfect dish for yourself. I will come to dine here every time I visit Darmstadt.

Egal, was man als Zutaten wählt. Es ist immer super lecker! Leider sind die Angestellten sehr, sehr unfreundlich.

Absolutely amazing food and lovely staff! I‘m definitely coming again! Thanks

The food is super tasty and there is a large selection of different flavors of broth, each of which can be ordered as vegan, which is super cool, although many other restaurants only have a small selection that is vegan or vegetarian. I'm actually a huge fan of the concept and there's quite a selection of things you can use to put together your own frames. The only point of criticism would be that the store is not that big and is always quite full, which makes it rather noisy. But that's also the case with many restaurants, so I wouldn't deduct a star for that.

Very individual and very tasty.

My friends and I come to Jin’s house all the time. Can I leave a little “wish”? 🥺 I think it would be great if they could add vegan milk options and cream cheese topping to the bubble tea selection, then we would order it ten times as often Everything from the food and drinks to the interior design is great, I love this place

In my opinion, the best restaurant in Darmstadt! The soups are extremely tasty and you can also configure the soups completely yourself, really good! I go there every month. Be sure to try tom yum goong as a broth, it's the best Asian broth I've ever tasted, even Japanese ramen can't compete with it. Be sure to eat there, it's worth it.

Overall good place if you don’t mind the small space, crowded people, self-service. Food is tasty, but wouldn’t say healthy.

Authentic food, just don't expect to know exactly what makes the soups different. You have to try it out.

I think the concept is great and the food is very tasty! It's just a bit tight in terms of space, but not bad.

My review relates to BubbleTea: After we received the wrong drink, they didn't want to exchange our drink. The cashier insisted that we gave him the wrong order even though that wasn't the case. We even pointed to the picture and read it out loud. We go there often and always order the same thing, so this review also goes to the cashier who didn't want to see his mistake!

Very good and large selection of ingredients, including many that you wouldn't find anywhere else, so if you want to try something new, it's really great. The broth also tastes very tasty. However, it takes a while to really find out which combination of ingredients, broth and level of spiciness you like and what the process is like in the restaurant; it's a bit complicated at the beginning. Most of the time it is very crowded. And the employees are often a bit impatient and rude, but that hasn't particularly bothered me so far. The prices are okay, neither good nor bad. The music used to be really cool, but now it's more standard. 5 stars because overall I'm very satisfied, I can't give more than 3 for service and only 4 for atmosphere, the shop is quite nice, but nothing special and a bit cramped.

Very tasty Far Eastern food, I recommend it!

A kind of self-service restaurant where you put together the rich ingredients yourself and then they weigh them. The weight determines the price. Sauce of your choice is included free of charge.

All you have to do is choose where to go and enjoy the whole thing.

diverse selection of foods, delicious broths & fair prices! Employees not very sociable and a bit "judgmental" if you don't know enough about them. location itself could be improved.

Superb! Can get busy, but the crowd moves quickly

Everything is very licking. The price is worth it, you'll be full👌

DIY Ramen, you can choose what to include and they prepare the broth and assemble it for you. Ramen was very good, very tender beef, not very clear the soups you can choose, a little expensive but large quantities

The food impressed us and the selection was very good and sufficient for us. Unfortunately, the employees here are incredibly unfriendly and will only bluff you if you have a question or are not quick enough. We sat outside and were scolded for wanting to bring our trays back. There is definitely a need for improvement.

Bubble tea usually tastes rather watery

Really tasty, just a bit expensive. Otherwise very authentic atmosphere. I'd love to come back :)

This is the second time we've been there - it's simply delicious👍👍👍👍

Often crowded and very warm. But incredibly delicious food, you just have to be very careful because of the spiciness, even slightly spicy is worlds spicier than anything you get in other restaurants. When you first visit, don't order it spicy, you can also season it with chili. Soups that can be ordered vegetarian taste worse.

Very good selection and very reasonably priced restaurant with delicious and varied ingredients. I really enjoy going there because it warms you up really well.

Delicious authentic food. The small shop is usually completely full, but that also speaks for the quality. The clothes smell very strongly of food after a visit.

excellent malatang, can highly recommend it

The vine peppers are quite delicious, and it was packed with people when we went there at 8 o'clock.

The soup is exceptional. Super tasty and everything fresh. Usually very well attended. Therefore it is worth making a reservation.

Very nice restaurant where you can put together your own bowl. The ingredients are always fresh and the broths are also very tasty. Attention: Spicy means really hot here! The bubble tea is also highly recommended. You can also have the dishes packed.

The empty bowl smelled like a towel that had not been washed for a year.

There was a lot of choice in the ingredients and the soups tasted good every time.

The idea itself is not bad and also very authentic. I also liked that there were more unusual meats on offer and the staff seemed to be in a good mood. All in all, I just found it a bit unappetizing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved my visit to Jin's House in Darmstadt! The concept is unique and stands out from everything I have experienced before. The selection of semi-finished dishes is impressive: from many different types of meat to various side dishes to a variety of types of pasta - nothing to be desired here. I was particularly impressed by the speed with which the dishes are prepared. You put together your own ingredients and everything is cooked fresh in a flash. The selection of sauces is great too - from not spicy to extremely spicy, there is something to suit every taste. As a lover of spicy food, I really got my money's worth here. After just one spoonful of the hottest sauce, I was tingling, my nose was running, and I was sweating all over - an absolute highlight for anyone who likes spicy food! Jin's House also shows its best side when it comes to drinks: there are not only the classic soft drinks such as Cola, Fanta and Sprite, but also a variety of international drinks that are rarely found elsewhere. A great opportunity to try something new! The price-performance is unbeatable. You pay by weight, so you can determine the size of your portion individually - perfect for every hunger and every budget. This gives you the freedom to get exactly what you want without paying more than necessary. Overall, I give Jin's House a solid 10/10! The unique concept, the great selection and the opportunity to get creative yourself completely convinced me. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it to everyone!

Very authentic Chinese Malatang. The flavor makes me fly back to China right away. Nice.

My boyfriend and I have been here many times before, but in the past six months, the quality of the food has been poor, and it even smells sour and fermented. The soup tastes hit or miss. We only report to the store out of health and hygiene considerations when the food is fermented or rancid. For the first time, we reported to the store that the store offered a free bowl of sour tofu as compensation. Later, we still visited again, but we took less and less ingredients because we were a little worried that the quality of what we got was not as good as expected or even fermented. The second time we ate the meatballs, we reported them to the store because they were sour. The store refused to compensate us at first because the amount we spent was too low (28 euros for two people). Later, my boyfriend asked the store owner to try the meatballs himself to make sure there was something wrong. The store clerk tasted them and immediately vomited them out. Then we were given a 5-euro discount coupon, and we had to spend 15 euros before we could redeem it. We cannot accept this attitude. We already have concerns about the ingredients and need to spend again to get back the money we spent on the meatballs. The food is usually good, otherwise we wouldn't come back so many times. However, we have eaten unhygienic ingredients several times, or food with poor taste and texture, as well as the attitude of the store this time, so we will not patronize it again. Mein Freund und ich waren schon oft hier, aber in den letzten sechs Monaten war die Qualität des Essens schlecht und es riecht sogar sauer und vergoren. Die Suppe schmeckt gut oder schlecht. Aus Gesundheits- und Hygienegründen melden wir uns nur dann im Laden, wenn die Lebensmittel fermentiert oder ranzig sind. Zum ersten Mal berichteten wir dem Laden, dass der Laden als Entschädigung eine kostenlose Schüssel sauren Tofu anbot. Später kamen wir noch einmal vorbei, aber wir nahmen immer weniger Zutaten zu uns, weil wir etwas befürchteten, dass die Qualität nicht so gut war wie erwartet oder sogar vergoren. Als wir die Frikadellen das zweite Mal gegessen haben, haben wir sie dem Laden gemeldet, weil sie sauer waren. ). Später bat mein Freund den Ladenbesitzer. geben, bevor wir ihn einlösen konnten. Wir können diese Einstellung nicht akzeptieren. DAS Essen Ist Meist Geton, Sonst Würden Wir Nicht So OFT WIEDERKOMMEN. GeSchmack UNDCHLECHTER Textur Sowie Der Einstellung des las ladens Gegessen, sodass wir iecht nocht noch einmal besuchen werden.

Food is amazing, just be careful not to fill the bowl too much cause it will always be too much. Food is great. Bubble teas are all amazing if you’re looking for classics like Thai tea (no other place has it) and you’ll end up in a food coma after but worth it!

I've known the shop since it opened and have been coming back ever since - not without reason! The selection of fresh ingredients is great, as is the selection of soups and drinks. Everything tastes good and you get your order quickly, considering it's always full to capacity. I'm going back today and I'm really looking forward to it :D

Ein absolut fantastisches foodhaus. Gehst du rein, gehst du wahrscheinlich nicht so schnell wieder raus. Es wurden sogar bereits Lieder über JinsHaus geschrieben - kein scherz. Wer hunger hat sollte definitiv hier vorbeischauen. Danke Jin!

I chose a little spicy, but it was too spicy… . The taste is similar to the local one. . But it is too expensive. The price is about 5 times higher than in China. Still, the choice of materials was wide. The boss and his wife are very blunt... .. I think it would be good if you treated your guests a little more kindly.

Delicious food, good service, and the boss is kind and kind🤩

In my opinion, the hygienic conditions are a bit questionable, but the soup was very tasty... if it weren't for the annoyed, unfriendly manner of the employees.

The basic idea may sound interesting, but if you're not an expert on Chinese ingredients (like me) and follow the wrong labels on these same ingredients, you'll quickly end up with a fatty broth with vegetables and full of flavor enhancers for a lot of money. A guide or at least example compilations with quantities would be very helpful! The quality and names of the ingredients were rather poor! Prices too high!

Food tasted mediocre and wasn't cooked properly The service at the checkout was very unfriendly and not helpful at all.

The restaurant chooses Asian cuisine, but mainly non-Asian people come in to eat. Fresh food, especially beef. Very suitable for Asians far from home. Very affordable price, 2.5e/100g of food.

Super tasty and cheap. I could eat here every day.

Food basically good but staff quite unfriendly. When asked about the bubble teas, the answer was "no idea" and if you can't quite manage the soups you will be thrown a plastic container so you can pack it yourself. Unfortunately no one here is friendly or polite...

Great concept. Delicious ingredients. Everything prepared in a flash. There are a few tables outside. The prices are also OK, for 10-15€ you will be full, even if you have a good appetite, especially you can really choose what you want to eat here, entirely based on your own taste. You can also determine the spiciness with your own hands - from neutral to fire free:) I'll definitely go there again!

Around Friday 6:30 p.m. very well attended. It's better to make a reservation if possible

Great concept and because of that everyone should find what they are looking for here! I was definitely fed up and overall Jin's house surprised me positively. Great vegan options and the broth selection is strong. The preparation is quick and tastes really good!

Exceptionally delicious ramen soup. As a customer, you take a bowl and fill it with the ingredients for the soup and then choose the broth. Each soup is individually put together. Great! Bubble tea is also delicious.

Great concept. Lots of selection of ingredients for ramen as well as drinks. Good value for money.

It's really a particularly positive experience to put together your own food. It was super tasty but you tend to put more in the bowl than you can eat. I'll definitely come back

By far the best ramen shop in the area, delicious and authentic. The restaurant is small and always full, so make a reservation.

Jin's House has been our go-to place for delicious and, above all, quick hotpot for years. I think the food here is just great, it's hearty and everyone can find something to suit their taste buds. Despite being "just" a fast food restaurant, this place has become a really homely place for my friends and me. If we want to sit down and talk for a long time, we come here! Food + bubble tea = a great evening guaranteed! So dear Jin's House team: Thank you for being there for us for years!

If I ever have to move away from Darmstadt, Jins Haus is what I will miss the most about this city. My go-to place for any time I want a warm hearty meal.

I tried malatang for the first time there and I don’t need to go anywhere else. You can just pick what you want in your soup and they cook it for you. It’s the perfect place if you’re craving for a warm tasty spicy and asian soup. The hotpot is always delicious and the service is really nice, I definitely recommend it.

Eating there is an experience. You put together your own food and it is then processed into a soup. All dishes can also be vegetarian for an additional charge of €1. Very tasty 😋

It is a simple self-service restaurant that definitely impresses with its delicious soups. I have never had better ramen anywhere. I also think it's great that you can choose what you want to add to the soup and how much. Great concept. The employees are also super nice and helpful. The opening times are great too!

Normally, if you eat malatang, your intestines will not be good the next day, but this malatang is okay even the next day. The broth is clear and has little oil. The ingredients may change often, but they are always clean and delicious. The store is narrow and crowded, so they often get takeout.

Delicious malatang with a very good spiciness

Super delicious food with fresh ingredients that you can choose yourself and put in your bowl. Price-performance is also absolutely fine. It would perhaps be advantageous if the restaurant had a website where the concept and process were explained in more detail. Then you could inform yourself in advance and not end up standing in the restaurant without a plan and helpless until you finally get help from the staff. Otherwise a really great experience and can only be recommended.

I don't understand the comments and ratings below. The entire store definitely has a nasty fly problem. There are just flies in the entire store over the open food on the tables. Unfortunately, a fly fell into our food! Ingredients weren't fresh, everything was stale frozen food, even the vegetables! Unhygienic throughout the seating area. Dirty tables and floor. The food is overpriced for the quality. In the picture you can see 2 soups for 30€. In terms of quality you can argue about it, it's a 7/10. But you definitely don't have to try it again.

Spicy stew with Chongqing style (Southwest China). Or with a choice of non-spicy stew.

My best friend and I have been going there since 2018/19. We first went there because it was the only place in town that sold Bubbletea, and in the beginning it wasnt that good. But Jins Haus really evolved over the years, not only the Bubble Tea but also the food tastes really great now. Theyve really become a great place to eat.

We were there often and were usually always satisfied. When we were there yesterday, there were several things in the soup that we didn't put into our bowl ourselves (see picture). Well, the potatoes definitely weren't fresh yesterday. First potato above dark brown to black 🤮. In addition, they save a lot on the soup, the main thing is to get money in. 2/3 of the small black bowl was filled. If I'm going to pay so much money, I want to have a decent portion. In addition, the owner asks for more money than what is on the scale, which was the case with me yesterday. The scale said €9.36 and he said €9.40. Sorry, but I don't think it's possible to withdraw money. There is no hello or goodbye there. That was the last visit.

I love the food. Big recommendation: SPECIALTY. I now go there once a week because the food has made me so addicted!! Price performance top. The concept is great, you can pack everything in yourself. Favorite restaurant in all of Darmstadt (maybe not my first choice for fancy occasions). I wouldn't recommend very hot to anyone, everything hurts (but to be fair, it's also "very hot"). All soups can be ordered vegan, highly recommended for vegans and vegetarians.

Here you can put together a really good soup...very tasty...price performance is right. Gladly again.

Delicious. It's nice that you can put together your own soup. Unfortunately, separate toilets have now become one for everyone.

Remarkable soup restaurant. feels authentic and as those found in larger, cosmopolitan cities. Beware spiciness level as it doesn't follow usual german or European standards.

A famous chinese resto in Darmstrat. You choose the topping by yourself and they will weight your topping. They also sell bobba, but the matcha is too sweet

Super cool concept: You take fresh vegetables, meat, fish, tofu etc. from a refrigerated shelf (pay by weight) and choose a soup base. Then the soup is freshly cooked. Very tasty and be careful: spicy means spicy here ;)

Such unfriendly staff!! I would never come here again.

Unfortunately I have to say that the food really didn't taste good. The pasta wasn't cooked through yet and the food didn't seem particularly fresh.

Authentic, very tasty Chinese food like nowhere else in Germany. In addition to the many ingredients, ramen noodles and sticky rice were something different. To start with, it's best to only use the original soup/sauce, because for us, slightly spicy with the sign of a pepperoni is rather intensely spicy 😅 Absolutely great taste experience!!

If you order without MSG (monosodium glutamate), only broth made from water, sugar and salt will be served. That's why only 4 stars. Please include at least one soup without flavor enhancers.

You feel like you're in Asia. Good staff. Delicious broths, recommend the garlic chilli broth. You can do it 👌
