a very disappointing meal. the starters were actually very good indeed but the mains were a total let-down. also made to feel like the moment we sat down it was time to go, very rushed experience - won't be going back

Went here only for the dim sums since a local friend recommended Oriental City. Terrific range of dim sums. If you dont have google translate make sure you ask for the English menu (with photographs to help). The food was great, and the service was lightning fast... you may want to tell them to pace out if you want a slower experience. And get there early or make a reservation. A reservation is probably a good idea if you want to sit near a sunny window with a view of the canals and street life of Amsterdam.

This might be the best known Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam. You know it's good if 90% of the customers are Chinese.

They have great dimsum and what I really like is the classic style of everything. The classic carts, the tables, the staff, the tea. It just makes me feel nostalgic all the time. And they should definitely keep the classic style.

The food is fresh, tasty and I can't really say anything else about it. You can eat great dimsum here or great (real) authentic Chinese dishes if you want. One of the best places to eat Asian food in my opinion.

There is one little problem.. It's always occupied. So be prepared to wait before a table becomes available. They have multiple floors and enough seats. But the restaurant is just that popular in Amsterdam.

You should definitely visit if you like to eat dimsum and have a good cup of tea.

Went here for lunch on a weekend break in Amsterdam. No problem getting a table, but the restaurant was crowded and a little bit noisy. Staff is friendly and helpful, and the service is quick. The food is OK, but I have had better dim sum other places. Clean bathrooms.

A restaurant that I have been returning to for years. Excellent service, just-the-right spice in the food, attractive ambiance. The only thing lacking was the Indonesian Rice Table that had been a standard here -- "the chef left" they explained. So Cantonese it is. Recommended.
