I come here everyday when I travel in Amsterdam. Dimsum is Hong Kong style n great. And don't miss 炸兩、乾炒牛河、凍檸茶 as those not on the menu. Seafood is excellent, try the razor calm n oysters!

WinnieOctober 24, 2014As a visitor from NYC and an HK citizen, I can say that this dim sum is better than every dim sum place in NYC but still not as good as HK
Will BelfordAugust 17, 2014Best chinese in town. Personally, I think it's the best asian food ever and the location is great.The service is amazing too. So authentic and nice. I simply loved the place! A must when in Amsterdam!
Werther VeulemansDecember 30, 2014Good place, come early because whole the entire population of China wants to eat here, and there is a good reason for, because everything is so delicious over here!🍴🍤
OG place for dim sum in Amsterdam. Sea Palace is overpriced but OC is the kind of yum cha you’d get in HK. Decor vaguely kitsch, service is direct, food is great. Char siu buns done as they should be.- Brian DammeirAugust 21, 2016Best dim sum in Amsterdam, no contest. A reservation is a must on weekends.
Mariletta GFebruary 7, 2019The best Dim Sum place in Amsterdam hands down, a little bit crowdy on the weekends but def worths the wait 🥟 🥟🥟
Lai van BeekNovember 28, 2016Large Chinese restaurant near Dan square with good dimsum food. Tasty spring rolls, siew mai and har kau. Can also recommend their wonton soup
Julie ODonnellDecember 22, 2015Was reliably informed this is the best dim sum in Amsterdam.Went with a Chinese friend and ate almost everything on the menu - awesome!!
Jules LMarch 3, 2016Fresh dim sum. Good service. Tasty and authentic. Do not pay attention to the setting.
- Best Dim Sum in Holland. Dinner is very good too, but if you dun care about comfort too much you can also try Golden Chopstix downstairs. Same food but at more competitive prices.
Karin van der MeijdenOctober 11, 2016Good food and good service, together with the golden curtains and shiny pink tablecloths make this my favorite Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam
Jj XMarch 25, 2019Seating, always full. So call before hand to reserve a seating. Food is salty. service quality depend who you get. If possible tip and tip directly the person that serve you.
Sergey 136thMarch 30, 2013Sweet and sour prawns and chicken rocks! Probably the best Chinese restaurant in town!
Köksal AbdurrahmanogluOctober 24, 2011Woow, great prawn dim-sum and duck with rice pancakes accompanied by smooth Chinese beer Tsingtao. Surprisingly enough the service was also very pleasant ;)
The inside of the bun should be runny and rich, instead of overcooked and solid. They explained: Dumb tourists kept spilling & burning themselves. to protect these people, they overcook it on purpose.
Urban Tommy GómezDecember 8, 2012If you see a lot of people in the stairs, just go in and grab a number! We waited for 15 minutes only and there were like 20 ppl waiting before us.
Peter SJuly 31, 2016So delicious and authentic. Make sure to order too much and bring a bunch of friends
🌛 FOXXHUI 🌞October 27, 2015Nice place to have Chinese food. Their roasted duck is crispy and tender!
LindaMay 2, 2011When you arrive, go 1 floor up and get a number from the receptionist/waiter and stay nearby
- Amanda AdrianiAugust 16, 2013The best dimsum in town! My favorite is siew may (siomay) & roast duck ♡
Christine RødeApril 13, 2017They only serve the dim sum menu before 5, and I wasn't impressed by the dinner options. Go for lunch!- best dimsum in town...we love it! for more culi tips check www.culi-amsterdam.nl
Dim sum here got expensive! Still the go to place in Amsterdam for dim sum, but I prefer to take a trip to Den Haag to Kee Lun for some quality treats.
Great place for dimsum, don't go on a Sunday at noon cause you'll have to wait for at least 30 minutes for a table. But I have say worth waiting
Great Cantonese food. Dim sum lunch is the best in town, very well priced. The duck pancakes are my favorite :)- Kars AlfrinkSeptember 29, 2016I guess the dim sum is serviceable and sort of authentic but don't expect any miracles.
- Denis BarilkoFebruary 11, 2017Dim sum's are good, but don't take mix - better to order separately. Oysters are good too.wouldn't recommend to take duck - it was to dry, nothing special..
Konstantinos ChatzopoulosFebruary 16, 2017Almost all Chinese restaurants in Amsterdam are more than decent
Javier CastilloMarch 25, 2012Best dim sum in the city and not pricey. Try everything, you wont be disappointed.
