🇩🇪 Göttingen's New Chinese Restaurant: A Taste of Home in Lower Saxo
Great news for foodies in Göttingen! The city center recently welcomed a brand new Chinese restaurant, replacing the old "Jian Yi Mian" noodle spot. As someone who's been craving authentic flavors since moving here, I had to check it out immediately. 🏮 First Impressions The restaurant boasts: ✅ Modern yet cozy interior with traditional Chinese accents ✅ Open kitchen where you can watch chefs hand-pull noodles ✅ Surprisingly extensive menu covering Sichuan, Cantonese and Northern Chinese cuisines 🥢 Must-Try Dishes During my visit, these stood out: 1️⃣ Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) - Perfectly thin wrappers with rich broth 2️⃣ Mapo Tofu - Authentic numbing spice level (finally!) 3️⃣ Hand-Pulled Biang Biang Noodles - Chewy texture worth the Instagram story The owner told me they specifically hired chefs from Xi'an and Chengdu to ensure authenticity. 💰 Price Point Reasonable for Germany: Noodle dishes: €12-15 Main courses: €14-18 Lunch specials under €10 🌟 Why This Matters As an international student, finding real Chinese flavors in small German cities can be challenging. This spot fills a crucial gap between the ubiquitous "Asia Imbiss" and fine-dining options. The only concern? Sustainability - Göttingen has seen several Asian restaurants come and go. But with: ✔️ Central location near the university ✔️ Authentic recipes ✔️ Student-friendly prices I'm optimistic this one might break the curse! #GöttingenEats #ChineseFoodAbroad #StudyAbroadLife #GermanFoodScene #ComfortFood 🥡
