Home Taste Jia – The place that makes you wonder why you ever ate anywhere else. - Edit
If you think vegan food is bland or boring, go to Home Taste Jia in Kiel.
Read moreThen quietly apologize to your taste buds.
Owner Kai serves up Taiwanese dishes you've probably never had before.
Not because you're not a foodie –
but because Taiwanese cuisine is as underrepresented in Germany as your toaster's operating system.
My personal highlights:
👉 Peanut chili noodles – pure flavor, pure joy
👉 Yin Yang Hot Pot – a bubbling, soul-soothing duality
👉 Also: ramen, dim sum, desserts – all delicious, all worth your time
The space? Stylish, modern, full of heart.
Asian design without cliché – just clear, warm, authentic.
The service? Friendly, patient, and ready to explain everything, even to folks who think “Hot Pot” is a tech gadget.
And best of all: 100% vegan.
No footnotes.
No “may contain.”
No sad side dishes.
Just a full menu of flavorful, carefully crafted plant-based goodness.
Now about the price:
If you're looking for €2.50 meals, there's always a McDrive.
But if you want food that actually means something –
that comforts your soul and excites your palate –
then yes, this is food worth paying for.
I visit Kiel regularly – and I always come here.
Not because I have to.
Because I want to.
And because after every meal, I think:
“Thank you, Kai. You saved me again.”

Empfang und leckere Gerichte - Edit
Gleich zwei mal gibt es dieses neue Restaurant jetzt in Kiel. Einmal in der Holtenauer- und einmal in der Holstenstraße. Wir waren in der Holtenauerstraße. Unsere Getränke Maracuja Bluemoon und Jasmin Latte waren top, besser geht's kaum. Die Spicy-Nudelsuppe und die BBQ-Nudelsuppe haben sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir sind an sich keine Fans von Fleisch-Alternativen. Hier waren diese aber qualitativ gut und haben auch gut geschmeckt. Lieber ist uns trotzdem gut gemachter, natürlicher Tofu, Tempeh, Pilze oder ähnliches. Dass die Ersatzprodukte extra importiert werden ist für uns kein gutes Verkaufsargument, eher das Gegenteil. (Stichwort Nachhaltigkeit) Wir sind gespannt was es in Zukunft noch auf das Menü schafft und kommen deshalb bald wieder. Hoffentlich überlebt die mutige Idee vom Home Taste Jia. Viele ältere Leute standen leider mit Fragezeichen im Gesicht draußen vor der Karte und sind dann weitergegangen.
Read moreUpdate Anfang 2025: Inzwischen waren wir noch ein paar Male zu Besuch bei Home Taste Jia. Es gefällt uns immer besser. Es gibt neue Gerichte und die Mitarbeiter sind super nett. Aktuell hat nur noch das Home Taste Jia in der Holstenstraße auf.

100% Vegan ramen restaurant - Edit
This place is 6/5. Super vegan restaurant, kind you usually find only in big cities (like Berlin). Food was great, service really friendly and lovely restaurant dog Jumi made the experience complete.
Read moreWhole list is vegan and many of the foods taste really like their original meet versions. If you are in Kiel, you just have to pay this place a visit.
Pros: Delicious food, Super friendly service, Lovely restaurant dog ❤️

Außergewöhnlich und lecker - Edit
Die moderne Inneneinrichtung hat mir gut gefallen und das Team ist super nett. Am meisten haben es mir jedoch die Gerichte auf der Karte angetan, da man die meisten so noch nicht gesehen und gegessen hat. An der ein oder anderen Stelle kann man ggf. noch nachschrauben, wie bspw. etwas mehr Soße zum Reis, allerdings ist das schon meckern auf hohem Niveau, da der Reis selbst super gewürzt wurde.

Kalte Atmosphäre, teures essen - Edit
Die Atmosphäre hat leider echt Kantinencharakter. Das Essen ist nicht schlecht und schmeckt, ist aber auch nichts besonderes und daher eher zu teuer.

The food tasted good but I wouldn't go again - Edit
I was there with my mum and the food and drinks tasted pretty good, it wasn't anything super amazing though.
Read moreMy mum made a better choice by ordering a noodle soup which was filling but my portion of spicy peanut noodles was way too small... Especially considering the price, I wasn't happy about not being full after dinner... I left with a disappointed feeling. I wouldn't go there again to be honest because I don't often go out for dinner since it's so expensive lately and if you're still hungry after spending like 20€ per person for everything it really isn't worth it for me.

Great noodles in a beautiful interior - Edit
After teasing his customers with delicious vegan noodle soups in winter the owner finally opened his first all vegan Taiwanese restaurant in Kiel. Jia mainly serves a few noodle dishes and an assortment of iced teas, milk teas and coffee specialties. They use a couple different Taiwanese meat substitutes which you might not find anywhere else in Kiel. In comparison to the bubble tea store this restaurant rather seems to be for grownups 😉 The interior is open and bright, the staff young and friendly. I’m loving it 🥰
Read morePros: Fresh produce , Beautiful atmosphere, Novelty meat substitutes
