What we thought would be a group place was in fact a very large restaurant with individual cosy seatings. It's really well done and the food was excellent. Lots of Asians too, that's already a sign of quality. Great experience. I came with a friend but will bring my wife next time.
Unfortunately, the food did not taste very good. Service is unfortunately also not known here. When we wanted to pay and our plates were still more than half full, we were neither asked if we wanted to have the rest packed, nor whether it tasted good. You can only order via your own cell phone. I find this very impersonal.
This was my first time to Amsterdam. However, my wife visited way back when she was studying in the UK. She remembers the tour group pointing out that this was the best Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam. She told me at the time she thought it must have been too expensive for her to visit here and it was more a dream to come here.
Well, nearly two decades later, we made a dream come true.
We booked reservations online through their website. Honestly, it wasn’t that busy when we visited. The service is quite good. They also have robots serving food which is quite neat.
As it was our first time, we didn’t know we needed to order with a QR code. Once that was pointed out, we ordered with no issues.
The views are pretty nice. As our hotel was literally steps away from the restaurant, it wasn’t something we haven’t seen previously.
The food arrived promptly and was very good.
When we settled the bill, we were able to pay with American Express.
Overall, we will definitely come back the next time we’re in Amsterdam.

We’ve heard so many great things about this restaurant and let me tell you— it didn’t disappoint!!! If you’re in Amsterdam and looking for a nice place to eat and take in the views of the river, this is a great place to go.
There are so many good selections for food and ordering is so simple. You can view pictures of each menu item and the food comes out so fast.
The staff are so nice and professional. They make sure you are enjoying your food! 10/10 would recommend on your trip to Amsterdam.
If you take a boat tour, you can get an awesome view of the restaurant from the water. Our tour guide mentioned that this is an exact replica of a restaurant in Hong Kong 🇭🇰

We had an amazing time, we were not expecting such good food!
Be aware that the portions are massive!
I'll go back every time I'm in Amsterdam!
My vegetation friend was happy with the vegetarian selection too.

This restaurant was advertised on one of the canal cruises, and it did not disappoint. The decor inside is gorgeous, with many Asian motifs and statues, and beautiful views of the river.
The menu is to be scanned inside, and while there are not that many options, the food that they do make is splendid. The beef with asparagus (very slightly spicy) and the Char Sui were juicy and very well seasoned. The dumplings were very good. I’d recommend getting dessert after the main food is already delivered, to avoid it getting cold.
We ordered some cocktails, which did take some time in getting delivered as the waiter forgot about them, but were very strong and tasty. Overall, a very decadent experience, with friendly staff and excellent food. Would definitely return.

Wow and wow… great place to have Chinese food! Your taste buds are tingling and mouth salivating from the dim sums, wonton soup and the beef dishes are mental with rice wheat noodles!
I would rate this place as the best in Netherlands!
