PIN’ Kitchen in Freiburg im Breisgau

Tastes good, portions are plentiful, service staff are friendly

I ate at PIN Kitchen today, I took number 44 and my partner took number 48. My food arrived a bit cold and as you do, you wait until your partner gets his dish too. The number 48 still didn't arrive after 20 minutes and we pointed it out to the waitress. My food was cold, I didn't eat it anymore, my partner finished his food. When paying, my partner pointed out to the waitress again that my food was cold and we had completely lost our appetite. The waitress showed no consideration and didn't even change the amount.!! Not recommended!!

The waiter didn't even pay attention to the guests when he saw them coming.

The food came quickly and was very good. Some unusual dishes are also on the menu. Pork tripe, liver, tongue... Anyone who knows these specialties from Baden cuisine and also likes spicy food should not miss these specialties.

Large portions, value for money = top, and the food was also very good.

I visited this place more than 15 times in the last two months. I love Asian cuisine, but it’s pretty difficult to find a good place. This one is 10 out of 10 compatible with my tastes. The interior is pretty basic, and there’s no internet here (I didn’t actually ask, but you can go to the neighboring DIY Ramen and scan their Wi-Fi code, which works perfectly in PIN’s). But! You’ll find a lot of people from Asian countries here, and that’s the best recommendation. Be aware of the huge portions — after lunch, I’m not hungry until breakfast. By the way, you can take whatever you didn’t finish with you. Don't order two dishes for one person! And it's wise to order only one dish for two persons if they are not very hungry. I like 98% of the dishes here (except a couple of dishes with garlic which I don't eat). It’s very difficult to pick a favorite. I love the “Mapo Tofu,” “Shrimps on Salt” (they’re not as salty as the name suggests), all kinds of beef, the fried lotus roots and a lot others. So delicious! I’m going again tomorrow — writing this has made me hungry.

This is quite an authentic restaurant, you can even find some Sichuan food. For a Chinese in Germany it is among the best I have tried. Hard to evaluate after having the real thing in China. But this place is totally recommendable and the prices are also quite affordable.

If I could, zero stars. Takeaway food 1 hour wait. We were specifically looking for it. Something is wrong there.

The food is okay but the service is always terrible. This is Asian restaurant, the waiters and the lady are Asian but their service are so bad.

I was here because of the reviews and I have to say, I have rarely eaten so well. From the outside it doesn't look like a restaurant, but they show you the restaurant in the back. The people are polite, quick and friendly. The ambience is simple and clean but appropriate. Nevertheless, I would go back in a heartbeat. The vegetables were crisp and fresh and the duck was to die for. Keep it up

I've been to this restaurant on Humboldtstrasse many times and every time I'm impressed. The vegetarian dishes in particular are an absolute highlight. The variety of flavors, the freshness of the ingredients and the loving preparation make every dish a culinary experience. What really makes the restaurant special is the chef himself. If you ask him, he always conjures up a surprise - a dish that isn't on the menu but that really enchants the taste buds. These surprise dishes are always sophisticated and showcase the chef's craftsmanship and creativity. The atmosphere is old school, the service is appropriate. If you are looking for authentic Chinese lunch in Freiburg, you should definitely visit this restaurant. Vegetarians and food lovers in particular will get their money's worth here! Absolutely recommended – I give it a grade 1, very good!

We have visited the restaurant several times. The food was always very tasty but the atmosphere was rather unpleasant. It's really dirty and oily both on the table and on the floor. The kitchen looks disastrous and the toilet is of course unhygienic. It urgently needs improvement!!! Hopefully at some point the owner of the restaurant will be able to read all the cleanliness reviews here and finally take them seriously!

Delicious and authentic northern Chinese food. Ordered two large dishes, cola and free white rice, only cost 31euro all together! I can never found something like this in the Netherlands.

The restaurant has extremely poor hygiene and terrible service. I found a piece of steel wool in my food and immediately spit it out. Despite this shocking incident, the restaurant didn’t even offer an apology. If you want to avoid getting sick, stay away from this place.

I really advise everyone not to eat at this Chinese restaurant in Freiburg, Germany! I went there with friends last time and everyone reported that the taste was really not that good and the ingredients were not fresh. This time I returned to Freiburg very late from Switzerland, and there were not many open restaurants, so I wanted to eat something on the spot, and within two bites I ate a piece of wire from the steel wool used for cleaning pots. I called an older waitress over to see me. She didn't apologize at all and asked me if I wanted to change dishes. She had a very bad attitude. She had a very bad attitude when I started ordering. But later on, when this happened, it was like nothing happened. He directly told the kitchen that he didn’t want this dish, and didn’t ask the customers if they had any comments. It felt like they were used to their poor hygiene. This is a restaurant I will never go to again in my life. I can’t imagine how terrible it would be to eat a steel ball and lacerate your intestines.

Great idea. You help yourself to a selection of meat, seafood, vegetables, pasta, mushrooms and much more, choose your broth and then pick up the finished dish as soon as the buzzer buzzes.

Delicious and plentiful food!!!

Very good, well filled bowl. I recommend and despite my celiac disease they were able to guide me properly and it was very good I even had to learn to eat with chopsticks very good experience.

Had eggplant with pork belly and hot bean paste, two chillies. The aubergines didn't taste good at all, the meat was old. Despite two chilies, it wasn't spicy either. Apparently a restaurant for Chinese people who long for mom's food, no matter what it tastes like. Because food is, above all, culture.

Go here for the good food, not the ambience.

I found the food tasty for the price. Unfortunately the tables are in shared rooms at the back without windows. The poor fish in very unsightly and small, desolate aquariums. I won't go there the second time.

My absolute favorite restaurant here and a highlight in the Freiburg Asian food scene! You can have it authentic or Europeanized - both delicious! My favorite are definitely the Chinese dishes

Very authentic, lots of Chinese people in the restaurant. Was delicious

Very good, authentic Chinese food, which is also confirmed by the many Chinese guests. Fresh vegetables and a variety of flavors. Medium portion. More of a fast food restaurant than a restaurant, no facilities. Mostly friendly service. Toilets OK and fully equipped. Reasonable prices (辣子鸡丁：EUR 13.00). The WiFi hasn't worked for months, there's no soap in one sink, and the water doesn't drain well in the other. I'm surprised that problems like this aren't just fixed quickly.

Wrong food given. Or the food that was made incorrectly for someone else was foisted on me. I was told it was what I ordered, then when I got home it was the wrong one. After discussion I get the right thing. A pity.

If you can tolerate this attitude, come here. The ghost guy who comes behind me will be served first. When I ask questions, he looks disdainful. That's it.

We visited this restaurant often because the food was always quite good. However, the ambience leaves a lot to be desired and the tables and floor are often sticky, raising questions about hygiene, although we haven't had any health problems so far. An older lady has been working there for about a year (maybe the boss, because she acts like the boss). She was always unfriendly, but the delicious food always attracted us. Today, however, it was the limit: she shouted at us just because we asked if a certain dish was still available. This question was important to us because we had already found out after a 15-minute wait that the dish was no longer available. Admittedly, the restaurant was busy, but she should have managed her temper better. Another day we were even shown the door because they were “coming to lunch break.” Even though we know that the restaurant closes at 3 p.m., we were there around 2:10 p.m. - enough time to eat. After much patience and many unpleasant experiences, we have now decided to avoid Pin until the service improves significantly.

This is the best restaurant with great value for money and even the best taste! I wish they opened a branch in Berlin too... Try stir-fried tripe for 15 euros.

Nice restaurant where you can definitely eat. Service is okay and the prices are fair. The portions are not too small and the taste is okay but unfortunately far too oily. They are basically all dipped in oil. If that doesn't matter to you, you can eat there without hesitation.

The food was delicious but the atmosphere was terrible 😫 the waiters were sometimes nice and sometimes stupid but it was a traditional restaurant

For eggplant love, just soak the eggplant in oil and the beans in oil. The waiter was impatient and the boss was arrogant. I originally came here for the handmade noodles, but they were gone. Will not be returning.

A very nice spot to try out some amazing Chinese cuisines. All the dishes we tried were exceptional.

Tasty food, very good vegan options like Mabo Tofu

But the service was very average (sometimes unfriendly) and the comfort was not particularly good, e.g. B. windowless rooms and missing or very cold decoration. Unfortunately no high chair for the little ones. However, I will definitely go back to try other dishes.

This Chinese food is delicious. The taste is definitely the best I have ever had in Germany.

Formerly my regular Asian. Last time I wasn't satisfied, this time unfortunately also mediocre. Chicken dish consists of 80% vegetables, including 3 shitake mushrooms. Had stomach problems after eating. Prices were significantly increased, service was ok.

Food so good it kept me from killing myself

Overall four stars. Things that need improvement: The smell of oil smoke in the house is too strong. If I go to the city to report it, I can be fined in minutes. Not only was there no Wi-Fi, but there was no signal for mobile phones either, so I was completely isolated inside the restaurant. The decoration inside is like a prison style, with bare yellow walls, scary!

I can honestly tell you that their Chinese food is generally very good, but if you are a person who is used to eating spicy food, then many of their dishes are not traditional Sichuan recipes, so it is impossible to be completely satisfied, and The quality of the same dish will be inconsistent every time. What dissatisfied me the most is that the spicy chicken is actually fried chicken...

Quite disappointed. The food was not quite cooked, adding too much sugar in the spicy dish.

Food quality good, portions good and reasonable price. Only thing limiting is the spicy level as there is nearly none, but tasty anyway.

Delicious, fresh and plentiful for a quick lunch dish. Ambience not nice as there are no windows and bare. But food was good.

Affordable and delicious, we recommend the fried pork ribs, crispy pork, spicy hotpot and dried king oyster mushrooms. Will come again

Unfortunately, the fried noodles didn't taste good, the uncomfortable cold atmosphere with unappetizing smells made me feel hungry. The fried chicken was ok though. Cannot recommend the restaurant. They used to be far better!!

very tasty, we recommend no. 10 laziji and 12, good price-performance ratio

Absolutely the best Chinese traditional & internationally popular Cousine

The food is OK, but I think it's just because there are so few Chinese restaurant in Freiburg so that people think it's OK. The portion size just doesn't match the price! But the most important thing is the attitude of their Chinese server(waitresses, not the young one), she always comes off as mean and rude, which will be the most important reason why I will never go to this restaurant again!

I have a bad attitude towards Chinese people. I’m not the only one who thinks so. I asked for wifi but didn’t ask for it. My face smelled weird when I ordered food. I’m used to having too little Chinese food in Freiburg.

Authentic Chinese cuisine at reasonable prices. A must-try for genuine flavors!

Delicious! Authentic Chinese cuisine says my girlfriend :) I've never eaten Chinese before and found it very tasty. I can highly recommend the cauliflower with pork and the beef with pepper👌

Very good Chinese cook, the dishes are excellent.

Personally, I really liked the food, very nice menu selection and very tasty. The service is ok, but when it's busy you need a little patience. Very friendly. The ambience is actually close to what you would actually see in China, good authentic but different than you might expect. Ratio moderately fair prices. It is still a place in Freiburg where you should have eaten. My second visit there and will definitely come more times, definitely a recommendation.

Five people ordered seven dishes, each dish was very authentic, and we ate them all! Especially the pot-baked pork, the meat is juicy and crispy, with a good balance of sweet and sour, a delicious taste that I miss! Another highly recommended dish is the cold shredded ear ears. The soft ear shreds are paired with refreshing and crispy yellow light, and are topped with a bright red sauce. One bite after another, delicious! Garlic baby cabbage, you can taste the sweetness of green vegetables, it is worth recommending! The only thing I think is that the boiled beef is okay. The beef is soft and tender. It is paired with the combination of green pepper and bell pepper. Maybe the green pepper taste is too overwhelming and it doesn't go well with it. It will be even more delicious if it is simply served with bean sprouts! Pickled fish 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Cold ear shreds 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Mapo Tofu 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Salt and pepper pork ribs 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Garlic Baby Cabbage 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Pot Pork 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Boiled beef 🌟🌟🌟🌟

The food at this place is undeniably great, but prepare yourself for an excruciating experience with the staff and service. I waited for an entire hour just to place an order because the staff neglected us until I approached the front. This level of incompetence is utterly unacceptable. Owner, wake up and fix this! Your restaurant deserves better than this colossal failure 👎🏻

Fresh, tasty food at a fair price! With an unusually authentic selection. It's easy to ignore the rest. Ambience with the charm of a “Beijing backyard”, Glass for the drink must be requested separately, otherwise only bottles and cans, Service hectic but tried hard. Recommendation: "Noodle Bowls" no matter what....!!!

I once worked in China, I really love this cuisine and China. Thank you for taking me back to that time. Delicious cuisine, large portions, pleasant staff. We ordered No. 41, 94 . The only thing I would like to add is a photo of the food on the menu for an easier choice. ❤️

Super tasty, fresh without any flavor enhancers and super friendly service

The food is very good/very authentic, service is sometimes not so good. But the food is original and fresh🙂🙂 The chef is also very nice and friendly

This restaurant shouldn't have any seating because no one is being served. We waited 25 minutes. The waitresses saw us 5 times and made eye contact and we still weren't served. People who came after us were served straight away, but we were left behind. No recommendation If you want to go out to eat and don't want to wait, please go to Thai-chi

The menu prices and portion sizes differ if you get to go or eat in the restaurant. This is not marked and causes confusion when paying as it is not pointed out.

我在Freiburg的两天，在店里点过两次外卖带走，就菜品质量而言，这是我见过菜量最大的餐厅，味道每个人有不同的标准，对我来说说得过去就是好吃。很多人提到的态度问题我没有遇到，前台的那位女士和男厨师们都很有礼貌，我看到他们给每个离开的人说再见。如果还有机会来Freiburg，这家餐厅将是我的首选

Essen war sehr lecker Kam mir vor wie orginal in Chlna. Ambiente sehr kühl aber das Essen hat es ausgeglichen und war den Besu allemal wert. Wir gehen wieder hin

Wer Wert auf ein schickes Intérieur legt sollte es woanders versuchen aber das Essen ist so ziemlich der beste Deal in der Stadt! Hervorragende, authentisch chinesische Küche gibt es in Europa selten, hier gibt es sie, noch dazu grundsätzlich ohne Glutamat. Üppige Portionen! Kompetitiver Preis. Vegetarierfreundlich. Wer Aubergine und intensive Aromen mag: Nr. 82 bestellen.

Double roasted pork belly is a must try for all the meat+spice+Chinese flavor lovers 😋

Bisogna dire che si nota la differenza tra i primi anni ed ora. La qualità non è più quella di una volta.

Das beste asiatische to-go essen das ich in den letzten Jahren erlebt habe. Der Laden ist nicht besonders einladend, die Servicekräfte verstehen nicht immer direkt was man fragt oder meint, aber das gehört für mich zu so einem kleinen Imbiss dazu. Zusammengefasst: Essen perfekt, der Rest ausbaufähig. Empfehlung: Aufjedenfall probieren

Food was ok, but fairly skimpy on meat. The service was awful. Our appetizers arrived, but we had no utensils or napkins. No soap in the bathroom. We will not return.

厨艺水平不是很稳定 同样的菜 不同时候吃 味道差很多 红烧牛百叶上次吃蛮好吃的 这次做的就很难吃 红烧肉挺干挺柴的 不太推荐

If you want authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go. I can wholeheartedly recommend the pork belly. The only thing is that the spiciness rating on the menu is nonsense. Nothing here is truly spicy, so bring your own chilli sauce ;) Also: Order at the front if you want to avoid wait times. And the ambience is, as others have mentioned, truly lacklustre. But the food is so good, you won't care.

Hervorragende Küche,sehr zu empfehlen,komme auf jeden Fall wieder.

Sehr ungewöhnlicher Laden. Das Essen ist absolute Spitzenklasse, jedoch ist alles drum herum eine Katastrophe, zumindest in meiner Erfahrung. Bedienungskräfte teilweise unfreundlich (teilweise aber auch sehr nett), überhaupt bedient zu werden hat eine halbe ewigkeit gedauert, und der Laden ist potthässlich. Wirklich schade, weil das Essen super super stark und auch Preislich fair ist.

It was one of my best restaurants in this region. Unfortunately, since they changed a new waitress, the service is getting terrible. She is always in a hurry, rude and sees unhappy. We have to pay for the food and at the mean time, endure her bad temper. The food is also not as good as before. Some dishes which should be “juicy”, now taste quite “dry”. Some dishes they don’t use right materials. I don’t know what happens to them.

Delicious food and really friendly, helpful staff.

Quite authentic Chinese food, compared with other Chinese restaurants in Germany. 口水鸡很划算，干锅肥肠也不错

Malgré un petit déjeuné à base de café latté et nans fromage, nous sommes arrivé·es ici affamé·es. Mais nous nous sommes retrouvés tellement bien servis et nourris que le ventre plein, l’énergie fut retrouvée. Si bien que nous nous sommes disputé·es sur l’utilité de l’action individuelle. Néanmoins faire attention, si ce restaurant sert de délicieux repas, ces derniers ne prodiguent pas forcément des capacités d’argumentation. En tout cas vous êtes certains de ressortir le ventre plein et satisfait de votre plat.

Sitzplätze in den hinteren, fensterlosen Räumen, Kellner schaut nur ab und zu vorbei. Große Auswahl an Gerichten, nicht die typischen Standard-Asia-Gerichte. Meine Bestellung (Auberginen, Stangenbohnen und Bauchspeck) war zwar gut gebraten und gewürzt, aber sehr ölig (so wie die Speisekarte).

Taste good, food lukewarm, service very poor, no ventilation

Gutes und authentisches Essen! Eine gute Option wenn man im Bib lernt. Service ist manchmal sehr kalt und schnell und die Innenrichtung etwas mangelhaft. Aber im großen und ganzen finde ich es immer noch toll hier!

味道很好，经济实惠，墙裂推荐香辣干锅和干锅肥肠。点菜买单都在前台，第一次来的话有点晕

Sehr leckeres Restaurant, wenn nicht sogar der beste chinesische Restaurant in Freiburg

Toiletten und Handwaschbereiche sind nicht sehr sauber. Deshalb bezweifle ich die Sauberkeit des Essens. Aber das Essen schmeckt köstlich. Ich empfehle chinesisches Essen. Aber hinterlassen Sie kein Geld für die Statue am Eingang ((:

Essen war sehr gut. Portionen eher zu gross Bedienung noch ausbaufähig. Zu Getränke keine Gläser serviert. Speisekarten in miserablen unhygienischem Zustand. Ambiente nicht gemütlich. Preislich nicht überteuert. Keine Wiederholung

La comida excelente. El lugar muy cerrado y el servicio a veces no habla ni alemán...

sehr hygienischer ort. Hier wird auf sauberkeit und freundlichkeit geachtet. Essen eine 10/10

I had this place on my list for a long time as pictures show they do also traditional dishes that are hard to come by in Germany. Mainly I was excited because of two noodle dishes that I was so looking forward to. Unfortunately when ordering I was told that they took these dishes off the menu because the respective chef went into retirement. I was disappointed and quickly choose a few other dishes, a bit in a hurry. We had the pork belly in a reddish soy kinda sauce, which was good and soft. Since we were only two people the fat became a bit challenging after a while. We had the sour spicy bamboo shoot as well. Which was nicely crunchy, with a zesty touch. Quite oily though. And the Kung Pao/Gongbao chicken which was my favorite of the the, oily too but really nice. I left a bit indifferent, which was more related to the end-of-life of those noodle dishes than to the actual food that we had. I might come back to try more and make more conscious decisions about the dishes. Service war efficient and friendly enough, ambience is nothing to rave about. Functional and takes full usage of the small space.

Sehr empfehlenswert! Die Gerichte schmecken wie daheim. Portionen sind dem Preis angemessen. War mit einem Kollegen zum Abendessen dort. Vier Gerichte bestellt und es war eigentlich deutlich zu viel. Besonders gut war das Lamm mit Kreuzkümmel.

I love Mara Xiang Guo here. The atmosphere of this restaurant is not sophisticated, but you can eat a good meal at a cheap price. Authentic Chinese cuisine. I don't live in Freiburg anymore, so I can't go there often, but if I go back to Freiburg, this is the first restaurant I want to go to.

Es ist gemütlich. Personal freundlich. Toilette ist sauber… Es ist nicht weit von der Innenstadt

Das Essen hat uns wirklich gut geschmeckt. Auf die Qualität deutete auch die Vielzahl chinesischer Gäste hin. Wegen des Ambientes geht man dort nicht hin. Ärgerlich war, dass die kleinen Portionen mancher Gerichte, die in der Karte geführt werden, laut Aussage des Service nur zum Mitnehmen erhältlich sind. Warum man folglich einem Kindergartenkind mangels Willen des Restaurants eine Erwachsenenportion bestellen muss, erschließt sich nicht. 0 Punkte für den Service.
