OUR STORY

A Culinary Journey | 一场美食之旅

Jin Huang is a family-owned restaurant group that began in 2007 with Bamboo Garden in Brooklyn’s Chinatown. From our humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a thriving family-operated group, staying true to our roots while expanding to new cities like Seattle and more in the future.

In 2012, we introduced King’s Kitchen, the first fast-casual Cantonese restaurant in New York. The name reflects our belief that everyone deserves to “eat like a king”—enjoying food fit for royalty with high-quality, freshly prepared dishes, rich in flavor, all served in a fast-casual environment. Inspired by the Cantonese saying “Food is the heart of prosperity,” we set out to deliver exceptional meals that elevate everyday dining while remaining accessible to all.

While we continue to grow, Jin Huang remains a family-run business committed to delivering fresh, high-quality Cantonese cuisine to our loyal customers. From Brooklyn to Seattle, the Jin Huang story is just getting started.

金煌餐饮集团是一家家族企业，起步于2007年布鲁克林唐人街的竹园餐厅。从最初的起点，我们发展成为一个繁荣的家族企业，秉承初心，同时不断扩展版图，进入西雅图等城市，未来还将覆盖更多地区。

2012年，我们推出了皇厨，这是纽约首家快餐式粤菜餐厅。“皇厨”这一名字体现了我们的理念：每个人都应当“吃得像国王”——享受高品质、新鲜烹制、味道丰富的美食，并以快餐的形式为顾客提供便捷服务。这一理念受到粤语谚语“民以食为天”的启发，我们致力于通过美食提升日常用餐体验，同时保持平易近人的价格。

虽然我们不断成长，但金煌始终是一家家族企业，致力于为忠实的顾客带来新鲜、高品质的粤式美食。从布鲁克林到西雅图，金煌的故事才刚刚开始。

Our Signature Dishes

At Jin Huang, our signature dishes reflect years of dedication, innovation, and culinary passion. One of our specialties is our claypot dishes, which inspired the name “Jin Huang Bao Bao Hao” (meaning “claypot is good”). After years of testing and refinement, we designed the perfect claypot shape that locks in moisture while ensuring even heat distribution, creating a dish that is both tender and flavorful. The design also allows the rice at the bottom to crisp perfectly while the top remains fluffy and not soggy. To complement this, we use premium rice imported from a farm in Taishan, specifically cultivated for claypot rice, creating a harmonious blend of flavor and texture. Even for takeout, customers can choose to keep the claypot by leaving a small deposit, adding a unique touch to their dining experience.

Another highlight is our roasted meats, crafted under the expertise of our executive chef, who previously served as the head of the roasted meats department at Hakkasan, a Michelin-starred restaurant. Every step of the process, from sourcing premium ducks and pigs to using custom-designed roasting equipment tailored to our needs, is carefully considered to ensure unmatched flavor and quality. These expertly roasted meats allow you to truly "eat like a king," indulging in the rich tradition of Cantonese cuisine.

From the moisture-locking perfection of our claypots to the savory richness of our roasted meats, every dish at Jin Huang reflects our mission to bring Cantonese cuisine to new heights. Welcome to Jin Huang, where every meal is crafted to make you feel like royalty.

在金煌，我们的招牌菜品展现了多年来的专注、创新与对美食的热情。我们的特色之一是砂锅菜，这也是“金煌煲煲好”（意为“砂锅很棒”）这一名字的灵感来源。经过多年的测试和改良，我们设计出完美的砂锅形状，既能锁住水分，又能均匀导热，使菜肴既鲜嫩多汁又风味十足。这种设计还确保锅底的米饭酥脆适中，而上层米饭蓬松不湿黏。我们还采用专为砂锅米饭培育的优质大米，直接从台山的农场进口，打造出和谐的风味与口感。即使是外卖，顾客也可以通过支付少量押金选择保留砂锅，为用餐体验增添一份独特的乐趣。

另一大亮点是我们的烧腊，由现任行政主厨精心制作。他曾担任米其林星级餐厅Hakkasan的烧腊部门主厨，将卓越的技艺与对粤菜传统的理解融入每一块烧腊之中。从精选优质的鸭、猪等原材料，到为我们餐厅量身定制的烤制设备，每一个环节都经过精心考量，以确保风味和品质达到最佳。这些精心烤制的烧腊，让您真正“吃得像国王”，尽享粤菜的丰富传统。

从锁住水分的砂锅菜到鲜香浓郁的烧腊，金煌的每一道菜都体现了我们将粤式美食带向更高境界的使命。欢迎来到金煌，在这里，每一餐都经过精心制作，让您感受到美味的极致体验！
