JIA - the taste of home in Dortmund - Telefonnummer, Reservierungen, Bewertungen

The food there is top. I can especially recommend the noodles to everyone. I have to say that I had a little trouble eating these because of my poor chopstick skills, but then you can order a fork. The service is also very nice. Top shop.

A really special shop for Asian cuisine. There is no sushi here, just handmade noodle and soup dishes. The dumplings were also highly recommended. These dishes are also available in vegetarian versions and, if you want, with vegetarian mince, for example. The staff is very friendly and happy to give advice if you wish. Also worth highlighting is the large selection of craft beers. It's self service for the drinks. In summary, a shop that I can highly recommend. We'd love to come back.

Small, manageable restaurant, which is a plus and is by no means meant as a negative thing. Very inviting and nice atmosphere, the service is very friendly and the food is also very tasty. We would rather go to a smaller, fine restaurant to eat well than to mass-produce food. We enjoyed the glass noodles with enoki the most, followed by the dumplings with pork and cabbage.

Very clear restaurant, which at first (in terms of size) is somewhat reminiscent of a fast food restaurant. Luckily the first impression (fast food) is completely wrong! Here, guests experience outstanding Asian cuisine and extremely friendly, unobtrusive service. I was completely blown away by the unexpectedly large selection of craft beers and the unusually good advice. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!!! Our absolutely positive impression has been confirmed again!!! There is incredibly tasty food and a very charming atmosphere here 😋🥰

Narrow menu, but freshly prepared and extremely tasty!

A fantastic and good restaurant for years. I love being here, the service is great and the quality and hospitality are incredibly good.

Best (vegan) food, very good selection of craft beer, super friendly staff and great service. We'd love to come back

Very tasty, freshly made and, as far as I can tell, authentic food. The people who work there are very nice. They don't actually need a review, just look at how crowded it is and how long in advance it's booked. Terrific! In any case, I have a new favorite restaurant in Dortmund.

Chinese traditional noodles, dim sum, kraft beer, everything was super delicious, thanks for the great service!

JIA is a real enrichment for Dortmund's restaurant landscape - the hosts are super friendly and relaxed. The hand-pulled ribbon noodles are a real highlight on the menu and are complemented by all kinds of steamed and fried dumplings and baozis. We now come regularly with the whole family!

I arrived at this highly-rated restaurant around 6:30 PM today, eager to try their soup noodles. When I got there, all the tables were occupied, and only the bar seats were available. I told the owner, "I am alone," and she pointed to a spot next to a man at the bar and said, "You can sit with this handsome guy." This made me feel a bit awkward. The man noticed my awkwardness and kindly made some more space for me. I sat down at the empty spot. During my meal, several customers finished and left, freeing up some tables. I asked the owner if I could move to one of these empty table, but she curtly replied, "No! The table are already reserved." I noticed that all the tables had "Reserved" tags on them, so it seems that single diners can only sit at the bar. The bar seating design is very uncomfortable for eating, and one of the customers next to me even stood while eating and left quickly. Since the seating was very cramped, I moved slightly after the customer next to me left and found that the counter was very dirty. No one came to clean it before serving my food. Seeing how busy the place was, I didn't say anything. I ordered the beef soup noodles, which were indeed delicious, but there was very little broth. After a few sips, the noodles absorbed most of it. I asked the owner for some additional broth, but she only added some soy sauce broth, which was disappointing. When it came time to pay, I waited for a long time at the bar while the servers, who kept saying they were too busy, passed by me. There were only two servers in the restaurant, which was not enough to handle the crowd. Finally, the owner noticed I had been waiting for a long time and came over to take my payment. Overall, the food at this restaurant is quite good, but the service and environment need improvement. I hope the owners will pay more attention to the customer experience, particularly in terms of service quality and cleanliness.

Fun shop, food was great. Authentic overall package

Amazing dumplings, and baos! Super affordable and great service! Super impressed and had a lovely time! they can offer a mixed platter of dumplings or baos, so just ask for it to try a bit of everything! Really juicy ones!

Simply delicious and excellent service! Dear :)

Best noodles i ever tasted, also best people worke here ❤️

Delicious cuisine and delightful staff

Sensational little restaurant with fantastic Chinese cuisine. If desired, the food is also served with original Asian spice. There is also a very good selection of craft beers. The concept couldn't be better. My wife and I were thrilled on Friday evening

Clear recommendation! We had delicious kimchi, homemade dumplings and two kinds of homemade noodles - you take the drinks out of the fridge. Top! We'd love to come back :)

Always very tasty and friendly 🥟🤍

This was our first time at JIA. With our friends we wanted to go to a good Chinese restaurant without a buffet! So I asked Google and, trusting the stars, went to the JIA without further information… We expected something completely different, but after initial uncertainty we were absolutely positively surprised. The first thing that strikes you is the friendliness and willingness to help, both on the phone and on site. The restaurant is really very small, but it has something. You can watch the chef do his truly impressive work. You sometimes sit on high chairs in the window and get your own drinks from the fridge. You just have to get involved with it... But don't worry, it has absolutely nothing to do with the "all you can eat and drink temples" where you might meet your dining companion by chance in the corridor or in the queue to the buffet, balancing overflowing plates and bravely having a chat while standing there you don't meet at the table... If you're looking for something like that, you're in the wrong place... You can view the menu via a QR code on your cell phone, which may be a bit of a challenge depending on your phone, but it will help if you're overwhelmed. ☺️ At first glance, the dishes seem to be expensive when you look at the presentation, the portion size and the surroundings. But appearances are deceiving... You have to be careful not to compare yourself to the Europeanized, glutamate-filled Chinese restaurant dishes, because the dishes at JIA have nothing in common with that... The taste is unique, the freshly made noodles and dumplings are absolutely amazing, the seasoning is to die for and the quantity is more than sufficient. At many tables, the pasta was packed in “Doggi Bags” because the portions were not enough. Eating the really long endless noodles wasn't so easy with chopsticks, a spoon and a fork, but it didn't detract from the whole experience. The dumplings and baozi were also very good and delicious. Only the duck with the pancakes wasn't very popular with our friend. The duck does, but the pancakes and the “kit” don’t. However, this is a purely subjective assessment and has nothing to do with the quality of the dish. All in all, we had a wonderful evening with very tasty, good food and nice impressions and we will definitely be back!

We ate here for the first time. We had number 38 on the menu. Really very tasty! The service was quick and very friendly. I can't rate the ambience inside because we sat outside.

All perfect! Service, owner, food, beer, ambience. Always worth a visit!!!

Highly Recommended Food freshly prepared, super nice staff and the taste and portions are simply great. We will definitely be back If you love Asian cuisine, come here.

Super delicious food! They took the time to explain everything to us and so we will want to come again. Recommended!

I've eaten here so many times, the people are very nice and it's always delicious. Simply food to feel good. I can especially recommend dumplings in chili soup! I would definitely like to come back again and again.

Very very tasty! Be sure to try the dumplings in the chili soup. The service is incredibly friendly! Highly recommended

Very tasty Chinese food, freshly made noodles, very tasty dumplings, highly recommended

Small but mighty! Very, very tasty food, freshly prepared with dedication in front of the guests. There is also an exciting selection of craft beers that you can relax and take out of the fridge. Hospitality is very important here, a real feel-good atmosphere. But you should definitely reserve in advance, because the shop is very popular for good reason.

I really liked the concept of serving the beer fridge and it created a cozy atmosphere. The service was extremely friendly and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back when we get the chance.

The food is very tasty but everything reminds me of pelmeni from Russian cuisine. Dumplings filled with meat.

Very tasty food and very friendly, courteous staff. We had the vegan dumplings and the peanut noodles. We enjoyed both very much.

Best place I know for Chinese dumplings. It's best to just try it out! Also a really interesting range of craft beers. Of course there is also wine, cider and non-alcoholic drinks

The JIA restaurant on Kaiserstrasse is a real insider tip for lovers of Asian cuisine in Dortmund. Here everything is traditionally prepared by hand with fresh ingredients, and you can even experience it live. What's special here is the craftsmanship that goes into every meal. The noodles are shaped according to individual wishes and you can watch the chef skillfully transform them into artful ones. A special highlight is the homemade kimchi, which is simply incredibly delicious. What really makes the restaurant stand out is not just the food, but also the exceptionally friendly staff. Despite the hectic operation and the many orders, the employees always keep a smile on their faces and thus ensure a pleasant atmosphere. You really feel welcome and in good hands here. We have now become real fans of JIA and can recommend it without reservation. A visit to this restaurant is an absolute must for anyone who loves Asian food. You definitely won't regret it! Please continue !!!!

Very interesting location... The dumplings are very tasty and the staff are real originals.

Delicious food with a great show from the chef, highly recommended 🤗🫶

We really liked it, great selection, extremely tasty food, very nice service. We'd love to come back, there's still a lot to try

A small restaurant with friendly service. You get good advice and it was very tasty 😋

Small but more than fine. Fresh, delicious food prepared there. Small menu but enough choice. Simply delicious 👍

Beautiful family-run restaurant, the service is friendly, relaxed, hand in hand, you can't make a mistake on the menu, everything is homemade and delicious. The self-service at the drinks fridge makes you feel at home here. We'll definitely come back.

I ate here today for the first time, but definitely not the last! I have never experienced anywhere in Germany that you can get such authentic Chinese food. The name of the restaurant says it all here. Really delicious, nice staff and super attentive service See you next time!

Outstanding dumplings loving service thank you

Great food, great service, special drinks and a very pleasant owner.

Nice fresh long noodles with variation in shapes, dumplings taste more like mass production, the Peking duck is of course not authentic but appropriate for the price range. Too bad there is no dessert. The owner's reaction to more critical reviews is unprofessional and aggressive; it is debatable whether such a defiant impression is good advertising for possible guests and his establishment.

As always, everything was super tasty, quick and nice service. Our favorite restaurant in Dortmund.

The food is delicious and the service is very nice. However, you can expect to pay €20 or more per person. There is also a selection of dishes for vegans and vegetarians.

Handmade, freshly prepared Asian cuisine meets a fantastic selection of craft beers. The service and the owner are wholeheartedly involved and are happy to advise. You can't make a mistake on the menu, everything is extremely tasty.

Everything was brutally delicious, I couldn't decide what I thought was tastiest. The service is honest, relaxed and quick. Keep it up!

Absolutely recommended restaurant with authentic food, also with good vegetarian and vegan options. Great and communicative team.

Indescribably good, well-being as soon as you sit down, great ambience and atmosphere, the dumplings were very hearty and super tasty!!!

Very tasty and friendly service. I would love to eat there again.

It was our first time there and we received a very warm welcome. The dumplings were very tasty and the main course was really good ☺️. Any time again when I'm here.

Freshly handmade noodle in different varieties ( width). Really authentic Chinese style noodle. Can't wait till next visit.

super tasty noodles and otherwise great ambience. Thank you!!😮

Very tasty food, exceptional beers and lovely staff/owners! The shop is a bit small and doesn't have a direct restaurant feel, but it totally fits the concept! We'd love to come back! :)

The food is good and the staff friendly, the atmosphere matches. However, I think the prices are significantly too high for what you get. Unfortunately, the owner's reaction to the reviews on this topic below is neither appropriate nor effective. If you compare this with another Asian restaurant in the neighborhood, you can feel a big difference: JIA has a self-service concept where you get your drinks yourself from a refrigerator and only the food is brought to you. You have to like it.

Incredibly delicious food, great ambience and super nice staff, perfect all around!

Super nice staff, delicious food and great ambience, I can only recommend it.

Went to Jia again. For me, the first time after moving from Hörde. New for me: there are noodles, they are really great! Delicious, changing craft beer with the food and really lovely and good staff, I'll be happy to come back soon!

Very nice staff and the food was prepared quickly. The food was delicious, but unfortunately for me personally the price-performance ratio wasn't right. They were too expensive for the expense of the dishes.

I can hardly find the words...you just have to test it for yourself. A small note: without a reservation you have no chance of getting a table. Alex and his wife are great people, the team is extremely friendly. Very personal and family atmosphere.

Super fresh, super tasty! We ended up here spontaneously and by chance and will definitely stop by more often! The staff is incredibly friendly! Great food! Great craft beer!

A real treat for dumpling and noodle lovers! The restaurant not only offers delicious handmade dumplings and noodles, but also an impressive selection of cool and extravagant beers. The dumplings in chili oil soup were absolutely delicious and enchanted my taste buds. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes!

You make me feel incredibly comfortable. The food is delicious and the service is very accommodating. Not our last visit.

Great shop, great food, great ambience. The innkeeper knows his trade and recommends good food and good beer. The food is second to none. We keep coming back.

Very, very, tasty, no matter what. The owner can be friendly but not always! It's a shame, that spoiled the evening a little!

A small, authentic restaurant, apparently a family business, the kind that is unfortunately slowly disappearing from the landscape of the inner cities. Everything was perfect.

Fantastic food and a super friendly team

Super lovely people make super good food. The hand-pulled noodles are amazing, kimchi and glass noodle salad are really good starters and you can't go wrong with the dumplings. There's also a great range of drinks on offer - you have to try everything!

Great food Homemade noodles, tasty dumplings and a very, very tasty duck Beer drinkers can also get some exotic varieties here 5* We would love to come back

Very tasty and friendly staff! You can recommend it! I look forward to your next visit! :)

Super pleasant, beautiful place, with super nice people, great food (also vegan!) and drink (from exceptional craft beer to delicious non-alcoholic drinks). I can recommend it to everyone.

There are a variety of delicious dumplings and great pasta dishes here. The self-service drink selection was also fun and allowed you to try something new. 👌

Incredibly good vegan noodles and dumplings! Very friendly service! We also spontaneously got a seat and had a delicious meal!

Super delicious food!! We can hardly stop raving about it. Really recommended! The service was also very friendly and helpful!

Sehr zu empfehlen. Unbedingt reservieren!

Toller Laden, mega Essen und super Ambiente. Hier haben noch die Mitarbeiter Spaß an der Arbeit. Es war ein rundum schöner Abend. Danke dafür

Sehr freundliche und kompetente Beratung.

Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut. Der Chef ist auch sehr freundlich

Sehr lecker , waren das erste Mal dort und uns wurde sehr gut geholfen. Die Empfehlung war sehr hilfreich 😃 Sehr sehr viel Auswahl in Sachen Getränke , war begeistert 😁 Das Essen war sehr gut vielen Dank . Werden nun öfter Mal zum Essen kommen. Aber Mann sollte Resavieren und ist zu empfehlen!

Mega tolles authentisches Restaurant mit einer der besten Nudelsuppen ever!!! Dazu verschiedenste Teigtäschlein und richtig coole Getränke!!! Einfach klasse!!!!

Super Auswahl auf der Speisekarte. Die Bao und Dumplings muss man probiert haben. Nettes und aufmerksames Personal.

Super leckere authentische Dumplings. Innen fühlt sich wie eine Studenten Bar an :) Der Inhaber ist mega nett und sehr chatty. Wäre es nicht in Dortmund würde ich regelmäßig kommen 😆

Immer eine Reise wert! Die Mischung aus leckeren Dumplings und dem wechselnden Craft-Beer Angebot ist einfach unschlagbar :) LG

Authentisches Essen und gute Bierauswahl

Sehr leckeres Essen und sehr gute Craftbeer-Auswahl.

Sehr lecker, gerade auch die veganen Dumplings! Der Craftbeerkühlschrank erfüllt so manchen Wunsch😊 Man sollte eigentlich fast immer über die Website reservieren, weil sich das auch rumgesprochen hat!

Lecke vegane Dumplings und eine nette Bedienung. Auch mal was anderes, als die andere Gastronomie in Dortmund.

Sensationell köstliche Dumplings und Bao und dazu eine umfassende Auswahl an Craft Bieren. Die Mitarbeitenden sind total freundlich. Da es eher wenig Plätze gibt, sollte man besser reservieren. Nur zu empfehlen und ich komme immer wieder gerne vorbei :)

My all time Favorite! Absolutely yum! Best authentic dumplings in town! Love it!

Sehr leckere dumplings, guter Service. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Für ein asiatisches Restaurant sehr gemütlich. Wir haben 4 verschiedene Dumplings bestellt. 2x Schwein und 2x Rind. Leider war eine Sorte mit Lammfleisch. Auf meine Rückfrage an den Besitzer wurde behauptet es sei Rindfleisch. Sicher erkenne ich den Unterschied zwischen Lamm und Rind. Deswegen gibts für den Service und die Freundlichkeit 2 Sterne Abzug. Der asiatische Kellner war jedoch sehr nett und insgesamt haben die Dumplings sehr gut geschmeckt.

Mega leckeres Essen, sehr freundlicher Service und extrem entspannte Atmosphäre. Toll!!!!

Ich verstehe nicht, warum dieser Ort so beliebt ist. Ich bestellte die "Chili-Zhajiang-Nudeln mit Rinderhack" und eine Auswahl an Dumplings. Das Nudelgericht war etwas langweilig und die Dumplings waren gefroren und auf dem Standard von dem, was man auf dem asiatischen Markt kaufen kann. Vielleicht ist das für den deutschen Gaumen zufriedenstellend. Das Personal war nett und ich war begeistert von der Auswahl an Craft-Bieren, an denen es in Dortmund wirklich mangelt.

Wer Lust hat gutes Bier und Teigtaschen hat, sollte hier hin gehen. Reservieren ist aber dringend empfohlen!

Sehr nette Leute und man kann live zuschauen wie die Nudeln gemacht werden. Es sehe gut besucht gewesen, hatten nur ein Platz bekommen durch eine Reservierung.

Super leckeres Essen. Klasse Bedienung. Hat nur viel Spaß,

Das war für uns eine große Überraschung. Unglaublich köstlich, alles frisch vorbereitet. Tolles Service. Wit kommen wieder.

Das Essen ist einfach wunderbar. Personal sehr freundlich und erklärt die Gerichte, Fragen immer wieder nach ob alles in Ordnung ist und bleiben dabei sehr authentisch. Auf jedenfall mal hin👌😊

Sehr gut, authentisch und einfach lecker.

Mega schöner Laden. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Super leckeres Essen und ein tolles Ambiente.
