Despite having grown up eating Banh Mi every other week in a city with a decent Vietnamese population, my first Banh Mi at Kimmade made me feel like I had never had one before. The way the pate blended into the egg... the way temperature, texture and flavor combined and contrasted in this beautiful under $10 sandwich. Highly recommend. Also paired with a Vietnamese iced coffee.

The portions aren't as big compared to the US, and the flavor is definitely lighter but it isn't as heavy, making it a replenishing meal. This is that good pick me up energy that's going to last you a couple hours of adventuring before you go eat again!!! I had some beef pho with spring rolls and a Vietnamese iced coffee to spark everything up. Soup was more sweeter than salty, I kind of liked this as it was different from what I normally have. Prices comparable to NY, LA so its not too bad coming from the big cities.

I always eat at SLA in Amsterdam, but I decided to go while in Utrecht, too…read more The friendly staff definitely make this location the best! I ordered the Mackerel salad with several substitutions for grains and I never felt rushed or like I was being difficult. The location is comfortable and cozy inside. I've had MANY of the signature and seasonal SLA salads over my trips to the Netherlands and the mackerel is the BEST I've ever had. The portion of protein was generous and the wasabi watercress lemon dressing was incredible. I always miss SLA when I am back in America, but now it'll be much harder after having had this delicious salad!

Thought I had reviewed SLA Voorstraat already, but here goes…read more.. The food at SLA is great and the hummus baby and mummy approved. Drinks are a bit limited, but not as limited as the space. In an already small space I don't think I'd ever build a huge bar that takes up at leastt half of wat very little space you have. Such a shame because it is great food. Luckily they've now opened SLA Nachtegaalstraat which is a much nicer, friendlier space. I don't usually feel comfortable coming to SLA Voorstraat because the servers seem a bit standoff-ish and whenever I have the pram with me it's pretty impossible to maneuver; getting to the toilet in the back is hell... Overall the vibe here isn't very welcoming, in fact it's quite cold so I definitely recommend walking a bit further towards the much more friendly and open SLA Nachtegaalstraat. Nachtegaalstraat is a great home base for anyone.

But as soon as it got busy service started to waver a bit. Though it was still acceptable. We of course did the all you can eat and started out with a round of salad and Udon noodle soup. The soup was very good but the salad was too moist and lacked flavor. Second round i chose all sushi and it was disappointing at best, it was all very bland. Especially the California roll was a let down, which is usually a flavor bomb. On the third round i took to the skewers and fried stuff, but couldn't be convinced. Only the lamb chops were excellent! I think Den Haag has spoiled us, but Sumo Hilversum does not live up the high standards, although it was not bad and i would definitely give it a second chance.

When I was brought here for dinner while visiting the Netherlands, I was a little bit skeptical…read moreabout the quality of the food. I was staying with friends in the village of Huizen and they swear by this place so I decided to relax and enjoy the experience. First, this place is an authentic Dutch pub which you can appreciate everywhere from the outside all the way to its interior decoration and reach history hanging on the walls. After enjoying a cold beer we were seated in our table and proceed to look at the menu. Needless to say, My friends had to translate everything for me from the appetizers to the dessert. After discussion the options on the menu and the seasonal specials, I went with a white asparagus soup and a special cute of veal accompanied by mushrooms sauce and veggies. Well, let me tell you something; one of the best meals I had during my stay. Everything from the bread to the deserts was not only fresh but heavenly delicious. White asparagus were on season and the soup was a must! The meat, juicy and tender and cooked to perfection. Lastly, since we all asked for different sauces, I got the change to try everything from pepper to blue cheese. Omg! This place left me speechless. Never judge a book by its cover and trust the locals; they know better!
