Chi Min

Chi Min is a Chinese-Surinamese restaurant at Cornelis Jongbawstraat 83, within walking distance of the Kleine Waterstraat hotel cluster. A directory listing checked on 21 August 2026 describes it as family-owned and operating since 1989, which would make it one of the longer-running Chinese kitchens in the city.

Chinese food is one of Paramaribo's four everyday cuisines, alongside Javanese, Creole and Hindustani, and it is cooked here the way it is cooked in Suriname — Cantonese roots adapted to local tastes — rather than as an import.

Listings describe the restaurant as a takeaway counter downstairs with table service above, and recent reviews as mixed on service. We could not read those listings directly — the platform carrying them blocks automated checks — so treat both as reported rather than confirmed, along with its opening hours and phone number, which no source we could verify publishes. We list this as a solid neighbourhood option rather than a destination.
