The chef and the kitchen

Kinchia Restaurant in Munich presents a Japanese fusion cuisine led by Chef Duc Tai Nguyen. The kitchen prioritizes high quality and precise detailing across a diverse menu. Dishes range from delicate sushi to robust warm plates. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the venue 1.5 spoons, citing the colorful mix of Asian fusion specialties, ceviche, and dumplings. Chef Nguyen prepares all items fresh, ensuring careful execution whether for the dining room or private catering requests.

Signature preparations

The menu opens with edamame dusted with matcha salt or coated in coconut chili. Chicken karaage sits alongside crispy calamari rings. Bao buns appear with braised pork belly or crunchy duck meat. Raw preparations feature tuna tataki dressed in yuzu ponzu sauce, alongside akami tuna tartare finished with ikura caviar. Miso-marinated salmon tartare offers a different texture with sake and nori tacos. Vegetable selections include grilled miso cauliflower and spitzkohl simmered with truffle cream. Main courses showcase caramelized giant prawns and seared wild zander served with yuzu foam.

A space for lingering

The restaurant rejects haste, favoring an atmosphere built for conversation and lingering. Low light establishes an intimate mood during evening service, while staff maintain a presence that stays discreet. Guests gather around tables designed for shared dining experiences. Courses arrive at a steady rhythm, allowing focus on each plate rather than rushing through the meal. Sharing food reinforces the relaxed pace and connects those seated together.
