Im going to start by saying, this is NOT a Michelin star restaurant as I have read in previous reviews, it is Michelin Guide recommended which is way different! Meaning a Michelin inspector's favorite for good value. The service and quality of the food cannot be compared to a restaurant with stars. With that said, we really enjoyed the whole experience. We didn't had a reservation but the host was so helpful that she accommodate us at the bar seats. It was our first time at the restaurant so the server guided us through the menu and also gave us pretty good suggestions. We are huge fans of nigiris so I think we ordered practically all of them in the menu. My favorites were Salmon Gin and Canned Tuna, both creative and beautifully presented. We also had the Tom Yum Chicken Sticks a cool twist for the Tom Yum soup, the spring rolls, the prawn dumplings and the Korean BBQ beef, which was a little hard for my taste. Overall good food and great service.
Michelin star What an amazing meal. Was able to walk right in as a solo and sit at the bar but if you're a couple or more for sure get a reservation because the space is quite small. Incredible service. They made sure I was taken care of from start to finish and the food was fantastic. I'd skip the crab salad if I were to do it again but only because I'd get two portions of the beef tenderloin. Some of the best bites of beef I've had in a long time. Highly recommend if you're feeling a tapas/sushi spot. Yes yes yes!!!
Made a reservation a few days in advance after finding this on the Michelin website. My goodness, this meal was to die for. The ribeye, foie gras sushi - wow!!! Dumplings were also so good. And the 5 piece of special rolls. So glad we found this. Super fast service for Europe too!
Stumbled upon this Asian Fusion restaurant while exploring Amsterdam. Lucky to be squeezed in without a reservation for four on a Friday night with the stipulation that we just had one hour. Grabbed a menu and a paper slip to order. So thankful that our waiter was either able to modify our orders or suggest other options for a shellfish and pork free dining experience. Presentations were so creative. The vegetarian udon noodles served flowing from a noodle box dish were so flavorful. The steamed sea bass served in a seashell propped up in a sea of salt was fantastic. The ginger and soy sauce complimented the fish without overpowering it. Love, love, love the Tom Yum Chicken Sticks. The crispy fried rolls were filled with the most delicious Thai red curry chicken and served with a bottle of Tom Yum dressing. They need to bottle and sell the sauce. So good! Nice how they accommodated our dietary restrictions for the flaming sake roll. The flambéed salmon with avocado and cucumber was incredible. Our friends also got the lamb chops with were torched to perfection table-side. Fun to also watch the chef torch other specialties and fusion rolls. Special sushi rolls can be ordered with four or eight pieces. This allows your party to sample more options. A+ for A-Fusion. A delicious Asian inspired meal in Amsterdam.
Somewhere between canals and cravings, found our way to Asian food at A-Fusion. Total comfort food. Vibey and trendy atmosphere and staff are friendly coming in with recommendations from the menu.
I had no idea this place had a Michelin Star until I read some of the reviews... well, that is not what I expected from a michelin star. They have beautiful presentations when it comes to their food, but they need to focus on the food itself. The only thing on the menu that I was pleased with was the sticky korean chicken! That was DELICIOUS, but everything else lacked flavor especially the salad. I'd give it a try at another location, but I was very disappointed with my visit.
I was so excited to see a Michelin Star restaurant in Amsterdam. The window is impressive Michelin Stars awarded in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 22 and a view of Sushi chefs hard at work. IMO...that's where it ends. I was able to get a table on Sunday night at 8:45. Upon arriving, we were told we could only have the table for an hour. Ok, they close at 10, I get it, but Michelin Stars are about excellent service and high quality food and in a country where I just learned that if you don't ask for the check they'll let you sit forever, so it seemed like an odd request, especially after I heard people complaining it was taking forever for their food. Ok... let's start with service. You get a menu, a piece of paper and a pencil. Check off the boxes next to the dishes and sushi you want, and someone will come by and pick up the paper. Tables are so close together that every time a server bought a dish to the table behind me or next to me, not only did they bump into my chair, one time they actually reached in front of me to pick up the order from the table next to me! No excuse me, no I'm sorry. This happened 4 different times. Now the food... honestly, absolutely nothing special. We are spoiled with really good and creative sushi in the states. The rolls we ordered were fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Dumplings were bland and a bit overcooked. Singapore Prawns were beautifully presented and I was hoping this would be the dish that wowed me, but it wasn't. I was expecting a pop of curry or even a chili garlic but neither was in the dish... just shrimp covered in some type of sauce. We didn't need the full hour they requested... we couldn't wait to get out of there.
Service was solid and inside was pretty tight. The food was good but not great. The steamed sea bass was cooked well but didn't have much flavor or seasoning. The butterfly shrimp had a nice fry to it but again nothing really beyond that.
*We didn't try any of the sushi* that being said, we tried almost everything else on the menu! This place is absolutely amazing! Best Asian fusion food I've ever had! The ambiance is great, place is a little small, but most every place is in Amsterdam... We sat at the bar, the food is incredible and the service was friendly and fast, everything was perfect! This is a small share plate style place, not a large dish that you eat all yourself, order as much as you can, you won't regret it! I wouldn't pay any attention to any of the negative reviews, honestly, if you didn't like this place, you probably shouldn't be going out to eat...
Everything we had was good. Not sure why it has so many Michelin stars, I'm not I'd say it's that level of good- unless this type of food is hard to find in Amsterdam? If you're craving Asian- go for it!
Great service and delicious food. Beautiful cozy place. Reservation is highly recommended. But they do take walk-in if you can get there right around 4pm.
Definitely a place you must try. The restaurant gets quite busy. The food was very good and it's a fun vibes. Food is a bit pricy but was worth the price.
A-Fusion is A+++ I had dinner with a colleague at A-Fusion. We decided to play a bit of roulette for dinner and asked the staff to help make selections for us based on what they felt was a "must-have." Needless to say - she knew her stuff. The food was blend of creative beauty and amazing taste sized for folks to try a few different things. I don't remember that menu names for everything, but I do know that I'd have no shame on my next visit by pulling up this review to show my pics and ask for the same stuff again. We literally enjoyed every single thing we had. The place is impressive. As you walk up, you'll stumble upon their repetitive Michelin cards displayed at the front window. Based on the taste and experience, they were well earned. Surprisingly, the tab at the end of the meal was not expensive -- I thought the value was worth it. The place has a trendy feel to it. If you decide to check it out, your best bet is to make a reservation. It seemed to fill up with people before we finished. I'm in Amsterdam regularly for work - this place earned a spot in my "must stop by" list each time I visit Amsterdam. read more
Overall: 3 stars Michelin guide Asian restaurant in the Asian district of Amsterdam. I do find it exciting that they are trying innovative flavors, but I also think its important to not overshadow some of the foundations in the process. (Tuna Nigiri: C) - Smells extremely delightful, but unfortunately dullfully lacking saline that could only be partially resolved by soy sauce. (Salmon Nigiri: C) - Fascinating concept with a South Asian influenced flavor profile that seemingly works. I'm not sure what the foam is supposed to be for since its completely disjoint from the salmon, but this dish wouldve worked if it was balanced with saline. (XO Siu Mai: B) - Surprisingly well flavored with a tender meat mixture, topped with some subtle xo to enhance with a noticeable but not overpowering spiciness. (Steamed Scallop: A) - This is the least fusion dish but also unironically the best from what I've sampled. A very classic profile with tender scallops, and an abundance of vermicelli and garlic that is perfectly seasoned with soy and sesame.

Ambience and food were good, I had 3 pieces of oyster, it's delicious, unfortunately, I had stomach problem 4 hrs after having it, my companion didn't eat any so I don't know if it's just me, but otherwise, I enjoyed the rest of our food, including the Cuban cigar dessert. read more

Don't eat here, read the reviews indicating that this place is a tourist trap! Not sure how the Google and Tripadvisor reviews are so high. A group of friends and i just had dinner here. The pepper chicken, pineapple fried rice, and two hand rolls were ordered. The pineapple fried rice was not fried, it was mixed. They use frozen mixed vegetables for the rice (ours were still frozen, and our server saw me spit them out). The chicken is simply battered/fried, lacked flavor, and was not pepper chicken. Two stars for heating up our frozen food so quickly! The hand rolls were not bad, and overall are hard to screw up. read more

Not bad, have tasted better but good service. Our friend had a bento box but she didn't like the edamame since it seemed to be not cooked as well. I had the Japanese style curry dish with veggies , I've had the best in Japan , so maybe that's why I didn't like the one here as much. I forgot what my bf had and he said it was ok. But he and I loved their Thai beer called Singha. Decent interior and atmosphere. read more
