About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
Nin Hao reinterprets contemporary Chinese dining by emphasizing the rich flavors inherent to Fujianese cuisine. Our weekend brunch integrates traditional Cantonese dim sum with cherished Fujianese breakfast dishes, evoking nostalgic childhood memories. Additionally, our walk-in-only weekday Chinese lunch bento box is a laptop-friendly café designed to facilitate a more productive lunch experience for our local community.

Our Star wine list, curated by acclaimed sommelier Zwann Grays, highlights sustainable growers with a distinctive focus. This season’s by-the-glass selection, in collaboration with China Wine Club, features wines exclusively from China—offering a rare opportunity to explore the country’s diverse terroirs.

Our cocktail program, developed in part by a head bartender from one of the World’s 50 Best Bars, draws inspiration from the regional flavors of China, creating drinks that complement and elevate the dining experience.

    Follow @bitesofthecity for more🤍 BEST CHINESE MEAL I HAD IN BROOKLYN. The vibes were the perfect mix of inviting and fine dining. Service was incredible and the food quality blew me away. Some of the best crispy taro duck and pork ribs I’ve ever had. And such a yummy razor clam. Like insane <3 Besides dinner, they also do Chinese bento boxes for weekday lunch, plus classic Cantonese dim sum and some nostalgic Fujianese dishes for weekend brunch. Definitely coming back to try those! 📍Nin Hao|609 Dean St, Brooklyn ▪️ Cuisine: Chinese ▪️ Opening Time: Everyday 11:30AM-3PM/5PM-10PM (Thu-Sat 10:30PM) @ninhaonyc #nycfood #nycfood #nycfoodie #nyceats #nycchinese

    Lovely servers, and a stunning room. The food is very good but not quite up to the exceptional ambiance of the restaurant. But I'll certainly go back, as I want to try everything on the menu.
