    Not a cheap restaurant, but worth the price! No restaurant is cheap here in Amsterdam, but very very few are qualified. This one is a very good one! The quantity is not very big, but the quality is very good. The best duck I’ve ever tried here in the Netherlands. Most ducks you can eat in a Chinese restaurant are frozen, so the flesh is so powderish that you can taste the difference right away. Wagyu is also great, maybe not class A5, but A3 is reachable.

    Great classic Chinese restaurant in the Museumkwartier. Lovely building on a beautiful, quiet street. It backs up to the Concert hall, so a great place to go before or after a performance. The foods is delicious. I’ve only gotten takeaway since that was the only option for a long time. Looks beautiful indoors though.

    Had an amazing course meal with a friend when I was in Amsterdam. The price are a bit on the higher side compared to the same kind of restaurants. But we still had a fun time.

    Oriental fine dining at central location. Great food with nice presentation though over priced especially for starter. The ambience was also carefully curated with a clear oriental touch. The most disappointing if not annoying part is the sub bar service. What’s particularly disappointing is the clear difference in the attentive attitude with other guests. Being the only Asian guest in the restaurant hope that is not the reason behind the differentiated service level if not discrimination. As a fine dining restaurant, hope the house can prioritize guest experience in their service protocols. For example, I was told the tea I ordered cannot be topped up with hot water which is very unusual for a high end Chinese restaurant. Not sure how many guests will indeed order another pot but the hospitality is somewhat missing. It was also disappointing to be told not to drink my own water while the water finally showed up 5 minutes after I took my seat. It is fair to have such rule but only appropriate after greeting your guest present the menu and take the drink order first. Another area of improvement is for waiter to understand better their menu. The waiter struggled to explain several items on the menu which is not expected in a fine dining place. Overall, still a decent experience.

    Delicious duck with an orange-based sauce. Thoughtful stuff. Chil background music and dim lights create a relaxing movie-like atmosphere. Delightful cosy inner yard with statues.

    Great staff, good food and good service. The tempura vegetables are a must! My friend had the Chinese Mushroom Wok which was delicious. I had Wagyu Carpaccio and short ribs. Both are good. Nice atmosphere

    Wonderful fine dining experience in Amsterdam. The menu has a variety of options for any dietary wishes. Restaurant is at a very convenient location, especially for after visiting one of the museums. The staff is attentive, friendly, service is top notch and the ambiance is amazing.

    Location is good, just next to Museum square. nice place to have Chinese menus.

  • 2/5 Jayne T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointing takeout from here, sweet & sour was so soggy it was inedible (like someone had forgotten to cook it before adding to the sauce) and vegetable dumplings very chewy as if they hadn’t been cooked properly. Not at all worth the very expensive price.

    Precious gem in the middle of the city center! The atmosphere was great, but the biggest selling point are the waiters; very attentive and kind. Food wise I was not blown away - there are better Chinese restaurants in Amsterdam, but the trade-off is ofcourse you won't get this nice ambiance with great personnel.

    Great Chinese place. The place is nice and fancy. The food was really good. A little expensive.

    I booked a table for me and my boyfriend on our anniversary and expected a flower on the table but instead the staff surprised us at dessert with this super cute gesture that we loved. The food was great, the staff are warm, welcoming and attentive. We’ll definitely go back! (Judy).

    I'm afraid it was a rather disappointing experience. Having ordered the duck starter (duck three ways), the spring roll had no detectable duck and the liver brulee was overpowered by the caramel. The smoked duck was very nice. Perhaps ill-judged, I also ordered the duck a l'orange for main. The duck breast turned out to be the same smoked duck as before, which as a main course was overwhelmingly smokey and salty, but now with an orange sauce and accompanied by the same unidentifiable spring roll. At this price point I would have hoped for more imagination and less recycling between dishes. Service was correct and pleasant, but the acoustics made polite conversation all but impossible.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
