Super Service

Das Essen war richtig lecker! Und die Servicekraft, die alleine den vollen Laden geschmissen hat, war total lieb und zuvorkommend. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Pros: Service, Essen

A safe choice

Kini is a tiny little vegan restaurant that I have had the chance to visit twice in the past six months or so. I believe I had a bibimbap the first time, which I enjoyed.. at least enough to return, just a few weeks ago. On that occasion, it was too late for the lunch deal, so I opted for two tapa-style dishes, dubu jorim (spicy braised tofu) and miso aubergine. I wasn't all that hungry, and so these turned out to be exactly what I needed. Also, 16.50 euro made it a rather inexpensive meal. My waitress was friendly and attentive, unfortunately the other waiter was having a smoke right by the entrance.. but at least he wasn't going to make my food.
I would be happy to return to Kini whenever I get another chance.

Very mediocre

Deep fried cauliflower was soggy, which was very disappointing, tteokbokki were nice but small amount, the veggies were tasty and the kimbap was okay. Will not return.

Uncomfortable

When we arrived we were first ignored, then seated at a table without asking the guests if it was okay with them.
We waited a long time until we could order, but the food was on the table quite quickly.

Well, it wasn't necessarily excellent in terms of taste. (Nuggets with a sauce on top) For this price we expected something else.

Cons: Pricey

Menu not descriptive enough

We ordered the bibimbap with vegan chicken, kimchi mandu, and dubu jorim. We didn’t know that the mandu and chicken would be fried, and I don‘t really like fried foods. It would have been nice to include that in the menu description. The dubu jorim, the tofu in onions and gochuchang was very good, and it was also the only thing we got that wasn’t fried. If you like fried foods then maybe this place is for you.

Sehr sehr gut

Sehr tolles koreanisches Lokal mit ungewöhnlichen Kreationen an Speißen. Alle Speißen sind vegan, auch wenn das nur nebenbei in der Karte erwähnt wird. Im Fokus stehen tolle Geschmackskombinationen und alles war unglaublich gut!

Große Portionen, die satt machen.

Korean Heaven

Vegan Korean food is rarely the main focus and just an afterthought on the menu, but Kini is entirely vegan and offers an amazing range of dishes to choose from. From Bibimbap to deep fried snacks that rival Korean fried chicken, you‘ll find everything you want. The only thing missing is Kimchi Jeon for some reason, but don‘t let that deter you.

The cocktails are creative and delicious on paper, but lack in intensity and flavor. They unfortunately taste rather watery, when the concept reads as intense and rich.

I don‘t know if it was a sugar high from the glazes, but I left euphoric and happy! What a great experience.

Tasty Korean for vegans

I really enjoyed the fried cauliflower wings and the kimchi kimbap. But the highlight of the night was the fried mochi 😍

Pros: Fried mochi, Cozy ambience

Leckere Süßspeisen

Wir haben uns in diesem süß eingerichteten Restaurant sehr wohlgefühlt. Das V-pop Chicken Sushi war sehr lecker. Ausserdem können wir die Nachtischauswahl sehr empfehlen. Das probierte Hottoek war so so lecker! Lediglich die Miso Suppe hat uns nicht komplett überzeugt.
Wir kommen auf jedenfall gerne wieder, gibt noch viele weitere vegane Optionen die probiert werden wollen.

Pros: Komplett vegan, Leckere Getränke , Freundliches Personal

So tasty

Everything was very tasty. I really recommend all the dishes we got, especially the fried chicken and the rice cakes.

On a side note, a person entered the restaurant and tried to steal my wallet, so probably be careful in the area in general.

Pros: Great food, Great portions, Reasonable price

Cons: Pickpocketer

Hervorragend 👍

Sehr schönes kleines Restaurant. Wir hatten Glück noch ein Platz zu bekommen. 2 Herren neben uns haben uns etwas empfehlen können, aufgrund der Beschreibungen hatten wir noch keinen wirkliche Vorstellung und haben das bestellt, was die hatten. Es war die richtige Wahl. Schade, dass wir nicht in Hamburg leben, wir kommen bestimmt wieder 👍

Pros: Sehr lecker, Optisch sehr ansprechend , Frische Zutaten

Cons: Keine Reservierung möglich , Nur Barzahlung

Good Korean tapas

We had some fried mushrooms, some gyoza and the v-pop chicken with both sauces. The chicken was not like Korean fried chicken, more like chicken nuggets. But everything tasted great and was very rich in flavour

Pros: Great selection of dishes , Tasty and rich

Cons: It was a bit cold

Actually, Kini deserves five stars, but…

Great Korean restaurant in the Schanzenviertel!
Convincing food, the dishes were tasty and fairly big for the price.
Bibimbap offers extra good value.
The ambiance is simple, nothing wrong with that.
I liked the attentive and friendly service!
Clearly directed at Korean folks as well.
The space is limited - Kini can be crowded quite frequently. No reservations accepted though, only walk-in.
Lastly, be careful, the hazelnut ice cream turned out to be walnut ice cream, that was the only bigger disappointment. Also, the toilet could be cleaner. Personally I don’t mind so much, but some folks might.

Great food and beverages!

Small fully vegan restaurant, with delicious meals! I was there for lunch and at this time it is quite cheap and meals come with a soup. Also I tried the Korean beer, which I think is cool they offer.

Pros: Delicious, Great price/value ratio, Fully vegan

Incredible Food

Their selection of main and side dishes offers a nice amount of variety, which can be further increased through choosing different sauces.

All the food I tried was amazing, with every new dish I tried I was fascinated time after time again.

Service was really friendly and fast, indoor as well as outdoor seating is available.

Best in Hamburg

Best place I found in Hamburg over 2 visits. Especially the starters, tteokbokki and kimchi dumplings, and the mochi I wish I could eat every day. Awesome drink selection too.
Only minor issue was that the gimbap were too big to fit in one bite but a bit difficult to bite off without falling apart. But that’s probably a me problem😉tasty though!
