    Walk in on a busy Saturday. Great food and good service. Sizzling prawns, sizzling beef, spicy braided beef soup, dumplings, and sake... All great. Well worth a visit.

    Very tough duck. Almost like jerky. The liquid in the bowl was very good. Would not recommend.

    Service - very inattentive Food - spicy, but hey it's Sichuan Pork dumplings were good. Duck in a spicy bowl. It's at the beginning of the menu. See pic. Very very tough. Like jerky. Disappointing:( Would not return.

    Nice ambiance! Unprofessional service! The lady server gave us the food through our next table and wanted us to get it by ourselves ! Good Chinese flowers tea! Not too much authentic Sichuan flavor , but suitable for local people that I can understand ! As a cooking teacher and food critic , I have something to say: MaPo Tofu not enough Brown pepper corn scent . Pork Belly with Garlic sauce is OK, but pork was not boiled enough time, skin is still hard , tough to chew ! The garlic's sauce even wrongly got thicken with Cornstarch paste ! Red Oil WonTon changed to dumplings, flavor ok ! Pickled Sour Mustard- Green with Fish slices and glass noodles is good . Steamed Rice is a bit dried , May be cooked at lunch time ! Not as fresh as I expected!

    Wow, Wow, Wow. We stumbled upon China Sichuan not far from our hotel. We all kind of stopped thinking Chinese in the Netherlands, but it sounded so good for our last night in the city. We took our chances and walked through the front door. We felt like we had been transported to China. The atmosphere is lovely. We were greeted right away and seated right away and started exploring their amazing menu. The menu is large and filled with beautiful photos of each dish. There were four of us dining, and we ordered spicy spareribs, sweet and sour duck, kung pao tofu, and Peking duck. We started with spring rolls which were perfectly fried, not greasy, and scrumptious. The food was spicy but incredible. Honestly, this was the best Chinese food we have had in a very long time, and we live in Southern California with a vibrant Asian population. I truly wish China Sichuan was close to home, we would be regulars. You must go, you will not be disappointed.

    This was the worst restaurant experience I've had in a while... The waitress came right away, I said we needed a minute and she didn't come back for about 40 minutes when we called a bus boy over to try to order. The menu is really terribly laid out with only one item in each page so it took a while to go through but we got the eggplant thing and the lamb (both house recommendations). The lamb dish was okay, imagine cheap American Chinese food around the $8 variety in the states... Except now it's 20 euros! The eggplant was terrible (also 20 euros)! My friend got sick and refused to eat anything for the rest of the night. I went to pay and asked them to take the eggplant off and they argued with me for 20 minutes, saying I didn't day anything (to their invisible server) and that I ate most of it already (false). We ended up settling at half that dish, a concession I almost had to walk out for. I hate writing bad reviews. Maybe the kitchen had a bad night, but 40 euros for 2 waters, a bowl of rice and one dish of back alley Chinese food quality is was worth writing this review.

    ***Honest Review After Dining In Oct. 2023*** FIRST OF ALL: This is NOT a "slow-paced," fine dining experience. This is a FAST But ELEVATED FINE DINING experience! If you come here expect these 3 things... One: EXPECT IT TO BE BUSY & Therefore, EXPECT TO WAIT TO BE SEATED! If the food WASN'T great, it WOULDN'T be busy, right?! This is common sense... but common sense isn't always so common! If you are a "hangry" person, get a quick appetizer somewhere else before you come and be prepared to wait. It's worth it! Two: EXPECT TO COME FOR THE FOOD, not for the service! Again, this is a very fast-paced restaurant. Their menu is literally a BOOK. Dishes are coming in and out of the kitchen constantly. The servers are moving quickly in attempts to get the food out hot and fresh. They're NOT rude, they're QUICK! Take time to look over the menu CAREFULLY. There are a LOT of options. The servers do NOT rush you to place your order, though they do leave and come back abruptly because they're checking on other tables. This is why they're busy! Good food, cooked fresh and served fast! Three: EXPECT GREAT FOOD! I mean, really. I travel for a living and I'm already planning my return trip for this restaurant (among other things... but this pushed me over the top)! This is not, "American Chinese Food." It's Sichuan... AND IT'S GOOD!

    Chinese food in Amsterdam isn't the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of where to eat. At least for me it wasn't but I saw this place and was intrigued. I ended up coming here and LOVED it. The options were endless here and all looked delicious and authentic. I had the duck and it was super delicious. It was perfectly crispy and I enjoyed the two choices of sauces they provided. The lady working was super nice and attentive and always had a smile. Over all I would love to come back here and try the other dishes!

    Soooo good. Is it weird that my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam was a Sichuan place? The food was so good, the atmosphere was really nice as well. We got the spicy chili pepper chicken and ants climbing a tree noodles. I think we were really missing Asian food, because the food here really hit the spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here, I would say it is comparable to Sichuan places you can find in the Bay Area, CA.

    This place is always bustling doesn't matter which time of the day you come here. The place is very compact (of course the whole of Amsterdam is compact). We called for a dinner reservation but it was a come and serve basis. We reached 8 Pm and it was 15 minutes waiting. We were told by our friends, it's one of the best Chinese restaurants in town. We got a table. The ambiance was great and ceiling decoration was amazing. It's just the compactness of the restaurant that was making me uncomfortable. We ordered Spring Rolls, Sichuan Spicy Dumpling, Vegetable fried rice, and Barbecue mixed Vegetables, Sichuan special chili chicken and WATER too. In chili chicken- there was one ingredient (I guess Sichuan pepper), every time it was going in the mouth, the whole mouth gets numb for 10 seconds and ruining the taste of the dish. Sorry to burst your bubble folks, but it wasn't good. My dish was full of them. Pork dumpling was great and so was barbecue vegetables. Let me say it- service is very slow. Yeah, you guys are full but at least don't make us wait for the order and getting the food. Even we thought of order something else but knowing it 'll take them forever to come and take the order and then waiting for food, we ditched the idea. And what's with water thing. Why should I pay for the water? Coming from the USA, we are not used to paying for the water. And that is 7 euro per bottle. Not cool. Glad they did not charge me for using the restroom.

    not tasty

    SLECHT - which is also how you say BAD in Dutch Dirty, hair in food, pushy wait staff and guess what, the food was not good. Last, we waited 30 minutes despite reservation

It's a multi-level restaurant that stays packed during prime hours, which is always a good sign for the food quality. They serve Dim Sum all day, which is a huge plus. The flavors are very traditional. While the Dim Sum was solid across the board, the Beef Chow Fun was the absolute standout--perfectly prepared with that signature "wok hei" (breath of the wok). The staff isn't necessarily warm and fuzzy, but they are efficient. Don't expect a long chat, but you'll get your food quickly. Be prepared for a bit of a climb; the restaurant spans several floors and it appears to be stairs-only. It gets very crowded, so timing your visit is key. A must-visit for Chinese food fans in Amsterdam. Just be ready for a lively, busy environment!

One standout dish that truly impressed me was the Kimchi Fried Rice with Shrimp & Sweet Corn. The balance of flavors was exceptional--the tangy, spicy kick of the kimchi paired beautifully with the sweetness of the corn, while the shrimp added a perfectly tender, savory touch. Every bite was vibrant and satisfying, showcasing a creative twist on a classic comfort dish. I cannot wait for an opportunity to revisit and try their duck. It smelled and looked decadent. The ambiance is equally remarkable, blending traditional elegance with a lively, welcoming vibe. Service was attentive and friendly, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.
