If you’ve ever doubted that big things come in small packages, Chef Jiang Bo at Jinbo is here to school you—with the finesse of a chef who’s paid his dues in Italy and the precision of a man who treats vegetables like rare gems. His little kitchen is a powerhouse, churning out seasonal magic thanks to top-tier Japanese farms and his own smoky, cured-meat wizardry.
The Tranquility of Spring sampler course began with three delicate plates—each a love letter to the season. There was sea urchin jelly (because why not?), but the real stars were the basil sprig tomatoe, Spanish mackerel croquette, and Caprese beans dish so good I was transfixed. Know if the following dishes disappointed and I will let the photos do the talking. But the scallop ravioli - Absolute perfection Handcrafted with the delicacy of a sushi master, the buttery orange pasta cradled sweet scallop and new potato, all swimming in a smoky broth that should probably be bottled and sold as liquid sensory attacks. Dessert was a Spring strawberry affair - bright, tangy, and paired with sour cream and balsamic like they were destined to meet. And the citrus cheesecake? Let’s just say if happiness had a flavor, this would be it.
Chef JinBo’s culinary creativity is next-level, and I’ll gladly return every season to see what delicious sorcery he conjures up next. A tiny restaurant with a giant soul—and even bigger flavors
