GinYuu The strength of two worlds About 2 years after the pilot project in Frankfurt, Kent Hahne and Claus Sauer revived their concept of GinYuu at the end of 2013. The first GinYuu location is now at the Erich Ollenhauer House, the former SPD headquarters, in Bonn The focus here is the Pan-Asian-Pacific cuisine, using fresh and aromatic flavor filled products without additives. Guests participate in the creation of each individual dish prepared in the front cooking area. Each guests food and drink selections are stored on to a chip card which allows guests to move independently and freely within the restaurant according to his wishes and preference. Individual attention from our Ginyiis gives the guest the homey feeling of sitting in his living room with friends rather than in a restaurant. Open seating creates a relaxed togetherness amongst all guests in the spacious lounge area. The mix of lifestyle and traditional newly-defined Pan-Asian Pacific cuisine creates a new world for the guest, a world in which he can immerse himself and relax while absorbing the exquisite food flavors and taste with all his senses. And our Ginyiis are always by his side as constant companion!

Instead of solely representing the Asian world, our interior shows a symbiosis of Industrial meets a touch of Asia.. The green rice leaf represents the freshness of our products.
