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

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.

Superb! Can get busy, but the crowd moves quickly

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.

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.

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

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.

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🤩

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

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.

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

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.

Very very tasty, great idea. You can put together your own soup with ingredients you choose yourself. Very authentic and delicious. Spicy here means really spicy

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

Even putting together the soup overwhelmed me for a moment, but if you don't get started straight away but first watch how the other guests put the soup together, it might be a clever tactical approach :-) So self-service is the order of the day and that can lead to you putting too much effort into it Bowl packs because you may not be able to assess it correctly the first time and the price is therefore higher. But it doesn't matter if there's something left over, I think you can take the rest with you because you can basically do that anyway, so if there's too much going on then just order it to take away. Overall, the concept makes a very authentic impression and that's how it tastes, absolutely addictive!

Really good ramen for a good price👍 you just have to be careful with the spiciness, even without the spiciness it's a bit spicy.

At first we were confused about how the restaurant works, but after an introduction you choose your own ingredients and then you have to pay by weight. Really something different and it was incredibly tasty. Friendly and fast staff.

☻ This is my favorite malatang restaurant. I think it's the best in Germany. There are a variety of vegetables including bok choy, Chinese cabbage, various mushrooms and lotus root, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots and sweet potatoes. There are beef, pork, lamb, as well as seafood such as shrimp and squid. They have a wide variety of ingredients available, including tofu, deep fried tofu, dried tofu, ramen, udon, rice noodles, glass noodles, fish cake, and fried eggs. I always order the spiciest malatang and I am always satisfied. It's nice to have plenty of additional seasonings, such as cilantro, peanut sauce, and spicy sauce. There are various spicy malatangs available for you to choose from. They also sell bubble tea that goes well with spicy malatang.

An absolute experience when it comes to eating in Darmstadt. At the fresh food counter you choose your soup ingredients, checkout, weigh, select basic soup (spicy, not spicy, taste), pay, fresh preparation in the kitchen. After a short time you have a large soup pot in front of you. Super tasty, fills you up, at a fair price. Highly recommended, try it out.

I usually go there for soups. They are really good for an affordable price.

The food was good but the staff was incredibly unfriendly! The place was very crowded so you couldn't enjoy the food because you couldn't move! I know it sounds unimaginable, but my elbow was literally with the people at the table next to me! When another table was free where there was some space, the staff rudely refused to allow us to move. That was the first and last time for me there! I won't recommend it at all!

Excellent place, food and service! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 For those in the region, an excellent option for those looking for warm food!

The name 麻辣隔壁 is based on a vulgar pun. It means “What the fxxx!” Using dirty words for the name, I don’t get it.

Very unfriendly staff!!! There was a very unpleasant smell in the store, so I couldn't enjoy the food, which in my opinion was just mediocre. In the future I will eat at another Asian restaurant.

Very, very tasty and a rare concept for Germany. Be careful, spicy is really extremely spicy here. The biggest downside to this restaurant is that it is too busy and therefore space can be at a premium.

Ambiance: lots of people, cramped, smell of urine, hygiene difficult to maintain Service: Since it's self-service, not much service Food: Kimchi + specialty broth slightly spicy = very spicy and hardly edible for usual spicy eaters, vegetables ok, some not cooked through Conclusion 2/5

Great concept, delicious soups and huge bubble teas! It's better to take less! Max 1-2 pasta portions, otherwise it will quickly become too much. Tom Yum soup very tasty. Price performance unbeatable, bubble tea 0.7l for 4-5€! Tip: Purple Rice with taro milk Edit: a few months later, drove here from Frankfurt 3 more times - not once regretted! Unbeatable in terms of price and taste. Plus, everything happens very quickly, you don't have to wait long for a seat or for your food. We actually have at least 2 of these Malatang stores in Frankfurt, but they come close to this one!

Delicious soups, actually authentic fresh Asian ingredients that you can choose yourself. Payment is based on weight. It's more of a snack bar than a classic restaurant but absolutely recommended!

A good variety of broths and ingredients, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Definitely on the pricey side, but delicious nonetheless.

Put together super delicious soups yourself. Even slightly spicy there is still good steam behind it. Unfortunately the atmosphere is very cramped and functional.

The food itself is good and tasty. But what is absolutely not possible is if the service is super unfriendly. I tried it twice with children and twice the service was completely rude. The second time I just wanted to give the store a second chance, whether the waitress had simply had a bad day before. But no - both times the service (I mean it was even the owner) was super unfriendly - once in the evening and once at lunchtime. Children are absolutely not welcome and it shows. You are very rudely transferred from one table to the other without please or thank you. The gentleman simply grabbed my child's stroller and tried to push it aside without even asking me. When I asked where I could best sit down so that the buggy didn't bother me, he was visibly annoyed. I would definitely rather spend my money somewhere else and not there anymore.

Food was very tasty and was prepared quickly. The selection is huge and you have to be really careful not to put too much in the bowl

Last time I needed paper towels when I was eating, I asked the male boss, do you have toilet paper? The male boss said disdainfully: Toilet paper is for toilet use, you mean napkins. I was shocked. You may be right, but showing contempt and trying to preach to customers is the way to do business and treat customers?

If you want to try Chinese food, you definitely have to go. The quality and price of the food are very good. Friendly staff, sometimes you can't find a place to eat but otherwise this restaurant deserves 5 stars. Best restaurant in Darmstadt.

Very nice the idea of self service for soup selection. Large amount of options. A bit expensive if you take too many things for one soup

Einzigartig in Darmstadt und immer unfassbar lecker! Die Zutaten sind frisch und es gibt eine enorme Auswahl (ich persönlich halte mich vom Fleisch meist fern weil es mir zu knorpelig ist). Außerdem kann jeder für sich individuell garnieren und man bekommt unbegrenzt Austern- und Hoisinsoße dazu. Das Ambiente ist nicht so schön und es ist ziemlich laut, das liegt aber daran dass es immer sehr gut besucht is. Ich empfehle immer zu reservieren! Die Preise haben es, je nachdem wie viel man in seine Schüssel packt, aber auch in sich. Da muss man vorsichtig sein.

Sehr unfreundlich und genervt. Bei jedem Besuch, verlasse ich den laden unzufrieden.

Suppe sehr gut und immer lecker. Aber so ein langer Urlaub im Winter tut weh! 😔

Essen schmeckt sehr gut. Für vegetarische Suppen 1€ mehr bezahlen ist nicht OK. Kellner sind eher unfreundlich.
