    Nice Asian restaurant with a limited menu. I had the squid and then the red curry. Both were delicious. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Orbit is not it! The last time I visited Orbit (before this visit) was pre-corona. It wasn't a success back then. The chef could've had a bad day, so I decided to try them again. So it's been about 3 years since I last visited and I'm sorry to say still not a success. We left after the starters, because I wasn't willing to spend money on food I didn't like. We had 3 starters: the Peking duck pancakes, Szechuan squid, and dim sum. All 3 dishes had a lot of salt. The squid was rubbery and tasted fishy. The sauce that came with the duck was nice, so I had a lot of sauce with duck (intentional wording) The dim sum was the absolute worst; no flavour, thick pastry with a side of salt. That's where I drew the line and decided to take my money elsewhere. The staff that served us was nice. I'm allergic to shrimp and they catered to that professionally. I didn't give them 5 stars, because: - one of them took away a dish I wasn't finished with. Since I didn't like it anyway, I didn't say anything about it - within a short period of time (I would guess less than 5 mins) 3 members of staff came to ask if we were done eating. And 1 of them even opened the dim sum steamer to check if there was still something left in it. To be fair, after I tasted the dim sum I just lowered the chopsticks and didn't pick them up again. My friend was still eating however. In the end, I've decided that Orbit is not for me and my tastebuds. I will not be trying that again.

    Delightful experience. The serving staff is competent, friendly and smart. The food is absolutely delicious and the chefs deserve so many more compliments than I can give them. Some dishes are a little pricey but considering the neighbourhood it's still a great night out. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a majority of the interior done in all black (might be a problem is you've got bad night sight) so that your create a really comfy setting with decent down tempo electronic music. Dishes are served to share which creates a very friendly table atmosphere. Try the Rocky Chicken if you don't know what to pick, because there is PLENTY to choose from!

    Mediocre food, high prices. Very few healthy options, no vegetables with main courses. Oysters were not very fresh. Broccoli much too salty. Should drop prices or increase quality.

    Delicious food, great service. A little dark when you first walk in but you get used to it. No idea on the price as it was a set meal paid by someone else.

    Enjoyable. Good vegan options. Not overpriced by Amsterdam standards. Very good tap beer. Nice to sit outside in the Sunshine. Parking wasn't difficult.

    Top notch Asian fusion, matched with top notch service, not sure about Christmas decorations in November, but that's just me.

    Do not go to this place! Michelin prices for tastless stingy portions. Sides ( veggies, rice..) are 8 euros or more, water is 6 euros. Decoration and cuttelery are cheap as well. Main courses are served without a side (salmon in my picture costs 15,5€). Absolute rip off.

    It was the only place in the neighborhood which would serve dinner after 10pm. Food was decent but we were hungry. They have amazing California wine.

  • 4/5 Rachele A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food, a bit expensive considered the portions

    Horribly rude English-speaking woman on the line. She will hang up in the middle of you talking because she feels like doing so. Please don't put her anywhere near the phone. Maybe not in direct contact with customers at all.

    Very trendy atmosphere for a restaurant in Amsterdam. The food is delicious and the owner is a very nice and friendly man! Finding parking place in front of the restaurant is quite easy, or plenty of public transportation because it is located near Amsterdam Rai exhibition center. Excellent for a night out with drink and nice people!

    The food at Orbit is truly nice. It’s not your run-of-the-mill greasy Asian. It’s really flavorful with subtle touches of brilliance. The crew are warm and friendly too.

👍👍 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-...
