1000% GO. I adore Knees to Chin- their rolls make me so happy and feel so fresh! I've tried just about all the meat options, as well as the coco omelette, sweet potato, and tofu options, and honestly, you can't go wrong with any choice. The sauces that pair with each roll are also perfect complements, which means they've got some master taste profiler pairing these together. Highly recommend the lemongrass and peanut sauces!! read more

So good we ate here twice during our trip. 1. The rice paper rolls here are so yummy!! And they have so many flavors/fillings to choose from. 2. Between our two visits, we've tried the peking duck, minced chicken, and beef meatloaf rolls. All of which taste super fresh and flavorful. Our favorite was the peking duck. The pineapple inside is the cherry on top. 3. I also have to comment on their take out packaging. The rolls come in a box and are separated by a sheet of parchment so they don't stick to each other. Each roll has its own sauce pairing, which comes in a cute little container. Really thoughtful imo. read more

Amazing food and really good service! Got the peaking duck bowls and it was super good and well priced diffently gonna hit this place up again before leaving Brussels! read more

Knees to chin - Peaking duck bowls - Asian Fusion Near Me - Brussels, BRU

This is an interesting fusion restaurant. They offer many versions of Vietnamese rice rolls, which some are quite unique. I liked the Peking duck roll. They let you top up the experience with 5 different types of sauces. My personal favorite was the peanut sauce for sure. The soups were actually quite good as we. Very healthy to eat here. read more

Ho my; 2new regular customers in the making! These rolls had amazing combinations; beautiful variations & great sauces with it. We were served by a gentle and kind girl who helped us with our choices. I wish Knees to chin was closer to my home, although it wouldn't be great for my wallet. If you're going for a full diner: 3 rolls with sauces, rice (or cabbage; would be nice this option was cheaper) & drink: 16,60 € Don't regret it at all, planning to go back in the future! Appetite rising just thinking about it :) read more

This tiny restaurant was opened end of 2014 and inspires happiness. The whole menu is based on rice paper rolls that you can spice up with different sauces. The base ingredient can be: - beef - chicken - shrimps - etc It's perfect for a light lunch and you can always pair up the rice paper rolls with a bowl of rice or a salad ( the lunch menu is very convenient). The staff and owner are great and the interior design is simple yet very original and full of personality. read more

By the name of the restaurant, I wasn't really expecting that they offers rice paper rolls and what a discover it was! During our Saturday shopping, My husband and I started to get hungry and we're planning to eat at a Ramen place but they were closed, then we passed by in front of Knees To Chin and luckily for us, we've decided to enter... What a treat! The place isn't that spacious but had enough space to chill in. Nicely decorated with umbrellas and coloured bottles hanging from the ceiling and the ambiance is canteen style. There's a can in the middle of each table where you'll find chopsticks, cutlery, paper napkins and most especially moist wipes to clean your hands after eating the rolls. The choice is quite limited but they do change it depending the season. I've ordered 2 rice paper rolls (peking duck and wakame) with a miso soup. They presents 5 sorts of sauces that you can put on a dish so you can dip the rice paper rolls but it's easier just to pour them on the roll. You really need the sauce as it enhances the flavour of the rolls. It's preferable (easier) to eat them with your hands. Both of the rolls I've ordered were exquisite. Just with the first bite, you can taste that everything was fresh and tasteful. You can recognise all the ingredients composing the roll. The miso soup was a-ok, very salty and quite small for the price. Poops Corner : There's a door at the back end of the restaurant that leads you downstairs. Quite quirky as when you go down, you'll find a lot of boxes and the main kitchen (not quite organised - hopefully they'll do the necessary to tidy it all up). There's only one toilet for all the customers and workers (male and female). When you open the door of the WC, you'll find yourself transported to another world, the walls were covered with Chinese newspapers. The restroom itself was clean and proper. There were enough toilet papers, a freshener and liquid soap. Overall : A nice place to eat rice paper rolls in Brussels (the only place I know that offers it). Quick info, the rolls are cold dishes so under than certain side dishes, all you eat here are cold. The price seems a pricey for just a roll (3.8eur/roll) but they do offer interesting lunch menus on weekdays. What's good to know is that even thou the servers where all European, in the kitchen the chefs where all Asians. This proves the asian quality of the food. read more

I love that place! Fresh, delicious and healthy ingredients in a roll. Tasty sauces that always fits best with them and makes a good flavour combination. The staff are nice and friendly. Always a good option for lunch if you run out of time and feel like eating healthy. read more

If you love fresh rice paper rolls then this is your place. Knees to Chins seems to offer a very select menu, but diverse enough to cover a range of flavors. Also, I love rice paper rolls so much that it was too hard to pass up. I was super curious of their flavor combinations though. What would be in these wraps to make them stand out. I've had rice wraps numerous times in other places and they typically don't vary in key ingredients and flavors, but Knees to Chin was certainly a bit more innovative. Simple staples of chicken, shrimp, tofu, omelette, salmon, peking duck, and beef. If you come around lunch they have a nice special of 3 wraps + a side. I chose the chicken, shrimp, and tofu, with a miso soup side. With the wraps on dine-in they give you 5 sauces at the table all with different flavors. I was under the impression they had a sauce pairing before I went, but it was nice that they let you pick and choose at the table. Out of the three I got the chicken was my favorite. It had a peanut sauce inside the wrap and the chicken was nicely cooked. The least favorite was the marinated tofu, but I appreciated that it was marinated tofu and not just straight. The prawns were a refreshing choice for my third pick. They all were extremely fresh, nicely prepared and had a lovely crunch. An interesting addition was what seemed to be bits of fried onion inside them for a salty crunch. The miso was an interesting take. It was fairly standard in flavor with the additional heartiness of noodles and sesame seeds. It provided a bit of a filler to the meal that otherwise would seem very light. Much like a lot of the restaurants hidden in the nooks and crannies of Brussels and the like, it will be extremely cramped inside and with limited space. A majority of people were doing take out. However, if you can get a spot then it's not so bad. Knees to Chin was a pleasant addition to my wanderings given it solely served rice paper rolls which is a bit rare and they were doing it well. Great place to find something healthy and fresh for a reasonable price. read more

I loved eating springrolls here. Yes, they only serve springrolls, but they are huge and really fill you up. I got the two springroll special which I got with the noodle miso soup. Best part was that they brought out all of their sauces so that you can deep your spring rolls. The sauces are in a squeezy bottle so you can pour as much as you like. The food came out mega fast as well. Knees to chin is in a nice side of town that is a little less touristy than other parts of Belgium. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Knees to chin - Miso soup with two rolls.€ 8.50! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Kinda like fresh salad rolls with multiple choices of sauces: coconut, peanut, sweet sauce etc. We went there around 12pm on Saturday, (no lunch menu on Saturdays), we ordered Peking duck roll, Prawns roll, beef roll, minced chicken roll (3.8 euros/piece), two bowls of rices (3 euros/bowl), 2 bottles of coco nut water (2 euros/bottle), that makes 12.6 euros per person - price is fine, ingredients are fresh, but we prefer a warm meal in winter. The shop is small, cozy and a bit crowded, waitress came to collect sauces and plates before we finishing drinking. read more

Who knew you could find healthy, delicious, freshly rolled (fusion) Vietnamese spring rolls in Ixelles? I came here during lunch for the special which is 8 euros for 2 rolls and a side which isn't too bad. I got the beef and the veggie/seaweed roll while my friend got the duck and shrimp one. For the side, I got rice since the soup was being made and was going to take some time. Knees to Chin offers a bunch of sauces that go with each different roll. It's not just basic peanut sauce anymore. Each sauce was delicious and there's just huge bottles of them, so go wild. I absolutely loved each roll - my favorite being the veggie/seaweed one since it was something so different but so fresh. (and believe me, I haven't been able to eat veggies here in like ages). The shrimp was a classic and didn't disappoint at all. I liked the idea of the duck but the huge slice of pear was overwhelming in the delicate roll. The restaurant is lovely - small and cozy with hanging plants and therefore has a lovely, calming atmosphere. I definitely would come back and suggest this to anyone looking for a light, delicious lunch. read more

It's such a tiny spot...which is why I won't give 5 stars, but the rolls and service are fantastic! There's often a queue , but If you go just about 13h30 most lunch folks are finished up. I wish they had a frequent customer card because I'd literally be rollin in rolls ! read more

Knees to Chin provides a unique and modern twist on the traditional Vietnamese spring rolls. They have so many different options, it was hard to choose, but in the end, I got the caramelized tofu spring roll. It tasted fresh and light, a perfect snack. Inside, there were also avocado, apples, vermicelli, crispy onions, and some greens. The sauce it came with was a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil which was slightly sweet and salty. It complemented the spring roll nicely. Knees to Chin is a little expensive at 3.9 euros per roll, so unfortunately, I can't have one everyday. Great choice for a light lunch or snack! read more

I feel very lucky to have such a nice place just around the corner. Good thing I'm not staying in Brussels too much lately, otherwise this would definitely be my everyday snack spot! Each roll has its own sauce that fits best with it but I personally like to try all the sauces and pick my favorite. They are healthy and not expensive at all. That said, if you're a big eater it can get quite expensive and everyone turns into a big eater here, it's so good you can't stop! Trust me, one roll will not be enough if you come for dinner or lunch; you'll likely pick a second, third, fourth and so on, until you're completely stuffed. They've kind of anticipated on this by proposing lunch specials. I strongly recommend the roll with tofu, rucola, avocado etc but my friends would even more strongly recommend the omelette coco one. Our opinions on the cake of the day where very divided but the conclusion was that you'd better prepare for something completely different from a normal cake. When walking by you can tell it's cozy inside from the damp on the window. The decoration with colored lamps, masks and plants gives it an oriental jungle-like feeling. The only thing I didn't like was that they weren't willing to leave the wasabi mayonaise out of the wakame seaweed roll for my vegan friend. The reason is that the rolls aren't made on the spot but beforehand in the kitchen downstairs. This makes the whole concept seem just a bit less "healthy, home made and fresh" even if I do believe that they really use fresh ingredients and don't prepare them far in advance. It would also be a big plus if they prepared them in front of you to see how they do it because I've tried several times at home but never managed to make them look so nice! Anyways, Knees To Chin proves us that a healthy snack can be DELICIOUS! read more

J'avais vraiment très envie d'aimer K2C. Bons articles dans le presse et bons posts sur Yelp. Tout s'annonce bien. On rentre, on nous previent qu'il faut faire la file devant le comptoir pour passer sa commande. Comme je comptais prendre une table et pas passer une commande a emporter, ca me gonfle d'attendre debout. Mais bon c'est pas grave on va en profiter pour regarder les 3 demoiselles travailler et pour regarder la deco. Elles s'agitent, mais donne plutot l'impression de cigales sautillantes que de fourmis bien organisées. C'est tres petit (22 places, table a la japonaise - la manière polie pour dire qu'on est les uns sur les autres). Je ne sais pas si c'est la musique, l'epouvantable temps à l'extérieur ou la tronche de certains clients seul et triste mais l'ensenble me rappelle l'estacade à Oostende en hiver. On a commandé des buns au canard (froid a l'intérieur), des dim-sum (tiédes), une salade de chou et un rouleau au boeuf. Y a rien qui nous laissera un souvenirs indélébile. J'etais en train de me dire que je n'y passerais plus quand la très sympatique patronne est venue nous parler et présenter ses excuses pour les délais et les températures. (Problème de machine)). Elle à conclu par un "comme vous avez pu le voir on est encore en rodage, j'espère que vous reviendrez." Comme j'ai vraiment envie d'aimer, je reviendrai ! read more

We need more 'healthy fast food' in town. This place just hits that cord. The selection of spring rolls is fresh and delicious. A simple concept that works great for down to earth dinner or a quick lunch. There was still a smell of varnish in the air when I came, and one of the girls could work on her hosting skills... Other that, it's a wonderful place! read more

love the food and service. Healthy and tasty! The people who work here are very friendly and speak english which is a bonus!

Great little concept in this part of town. Knee to chin mainly serves what I call summer rolls, essentially rice paper wrap with rice vermicelli, salads, with either prawns or pork, and sauce. But here they put a spin on it, and has come up with different varieties. My favourite has to be with avocado and egg. The prices are reasonable and it is quite popular. The venue is quite small, but very well decorated, similar to a trendy cafe, with a hint of Vietnamese influence. The service was good, friendly staff who described to us what's on the menu. Knee to chin, an unusual name, but one that sticks, provides a healthy and lighter alternative when eating out in Brussels, and is really only convenient if you are staying in this district. Its similar to a pop up shop, which serves fresh food, putting a unique twist on a classic dish. read more

Love it. Awesome food, awesome presentation. The only negative thing is that, because you want everything, you overeat :) Well that and, service can be a little slow, while you're actually eating in the restaurant itself... +++ read more

I get lunch here when I want a treat. Great selection of tastes for rice paper rolls,fresh and healthy(don't go too crazy with the sauces). I love their rice and miso soup as well! I only eat "sur place" occasionally and,while the decor is really cute,the place can get a bit noisy,and the prices outside the lunch deals a bit on the high side. read more

Fresh, healthy and delicious. A nice place to stop for lunch or fast dinner. We tried the springrolls with duck, shrimp, omelette and avocado. All very tasty, and for every springroll there is a different kind of sauce. Consider sharing the rolls with your lunch-partner, they can cut them into half, to taste all of them :-) And take a thai beer to make your meal complete. I will come back! read more

What a refreshing change from traditional placed. The spring rolls were amazing and the chocolate dessert was one of the best I've had. Highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try! read more

Never disappointed, been there and ordered from them a dozen times :) The duck rolls are my favorite, the omelet one and sweet potato very good too. Don't forget the desserts: steamed sesame cake and coconut balls are to die for!! read more

Great new Asian fusion fastfood place selling only spring rolls (but not the fried version, the rice paper rolls). Something for everybody's taste duck, chicken, salmon, omelette,... Although I didn't like the kiwi in one of my rolls (kiwi is savoury dishes gets too soggy, fruit should add a crunch!), I totally dig the concept and flavor combinations. And I don't agree with people saying it's too expensive. It's handmade, and healthy. I also discovered a great new soda with rhubarb. Yummie! read more

This place is so amazing. They take Vietnamese spring roll concept and make it better. Their fresh ingredients in the spring rolls and the combination of herbs, fruits, veggies are superb. The sauces are very good as well. I stayed in the area 3 nights and ate there twice! Definitely check it out. read more

Awesome. Went here last night for the first time, and it definitely won't be the last. I had the chicken and duck rolls (they were out of beef) and tried my girlfriends veggie ones. They were all tasty and fresh, and the sauce pairing was spot on. I didn't love the soup, but maybe that's just because I prefer traditional miso. read more

Very nice place, excellent for lunch. Very good choice of fresh spring rolls, dim sum and more. Really like the style of the place.

Fresh, healthy, tasty, fast and rather inexpensive. Perfect for lunch or a quick light dinner! On top of that, smiling and pleasant service.

I can't quite expess how much I love this place. Great food, a relaxing setting and an excellent staff.

This is the single best rice paper roll place in Europe!! I have been to Asia and eaten rice paper rolls there and these are even better. The ingredients are wonderfully fresh every day and no matter how many times I have eaten there or taken away the quality has always been superb and never wavered. The people working there are obviously passionate about providing excellent quality food for an affordable price. I recommend this as one of the best places to get top quality food in Brussels, period! Thank you Knees to Chin!! read more

Very decent and healthy rolls. The rolls by themselves dont have much flavour, so you need a lot of sauce to make up for it. The dim sum is really good. However, the problem i have with this place is that one time i was told all the sauces are vegan, but after a few months i found out they are in fact not!! Only 2 of them are. Very repelling. read more

A good healthy option for a lunch! The combinations between the rolls and the sauces are just amazing. The lunch menu (2 rolls + 1 side) for 8 Euros is an excellent choice! I totally recommend! read more

Yay! I love this place, I only go for lunches and their combo is filling and reasonably priced. My favorite roll is the coco omelette (which sounds strange, but is a brilliant mix of freshness with a light sweetness & coco). They are also one of the rare places that serve my cherished Almdudler Austrian lemonade. I also like the deco of the place, wakes you up. read more
