Located just a seven-minute walk from Kyiv’s Golden Gate, China Hi is one of the city’s most beloved spots for authentic Chinese food. This cozy, urban-style café serves traditional dishes prepared by chef Xiang Wensheng and a dedicated team of Chinese cooks who’ve been with the restaurant since day one.
The menu includes a wide selection of classic Chinese favorites — from bao buns, dumplings, and jiaozi to hearty soups, noodles, rice dishes, and flavorful mains with meat, fish, or seafood. Don’t miss their famous Peking duck or the “sweet and sour bar,” where you can choose from chicken, pork, shrimp, eggplant, or tofu in their signature sauce. A well-curated drink menu featuring wines, beer, house-made lemonades, and Chinese teas complements the food perfectly.
What makes China Hi special?
- At the quirky Jungle Bar, adventurous eaters can try true delicacies like crickets, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, and fried zophobas — a fun nod to Chinese street food culture.
- Another must-try is the Sichuan hot pot, a hands-on dining experience. A copper pot filled with simmering broth is served alongside an array of ingredients — tofu, mushrooms, noodles, vegetables, herbs, and meats — which you cook at your table. Hot pot orders must be made at least one hour in advance.
- In warmer months, guests can enjoy dining on the cozy outdoor terrace.
