We arrived around 4:30, and it was not a problem getting a table although the place was busy. They sat us in the window looking out on the street. The service was prompt, and the menu had a lot of options. We placed an order for seven different small dishes. In short order, the dishes arrived one by one. We were tired from the flight over, but the food picked us up. We got the chicken dumplings, the pork dumplings, the minced beef meatballs, an onion pancake, spring rolls, and a few more items. Everything seemed freshly cooked. The food was good but did not wow us. They give you soy sauce for the dim sum, but I would have liked additional sauces. I did ask for some hot sauce, and they brought me a chili oil sauce which was very good. The staff were very friendly and happy to help with any request. The price was reasonable (two of us for under $50 Euros). The decor is neat and clean. I would definitely recommend.

Authentic Dim Sum in the Heart of Amsterdam If you are looking for authentic Chinese flavors near…read morethe Red Light District/Chinatown, Oriental City is the place to go. 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!

It seems like they properly used woks and the right high-heat temperatures for cooking and everything was made fresh rather than made from manufactured / pre-prepared food! - Shrimp rice roll - the rice roll is thick and has a nice chew, shrimp was nice and nearly wrapped into the center of each piece - Chow fun - solid chewy texture , could have had more beef but good amount of oil, some of the noodles clumped together and were undercooked but the dish was still very tasty - Veggies - really nice! mushrooms were flavorful and cooked all the way through and other veggies had decent flavor / texture too, timed the cooking right so they weren't overly mushy or crunchy

It's nice that they're open late. We got the bbq pork buns, sticky rice, and shumai. The shumai were a lot tinier than I'm used to, but the flavor wasn't bad. Same with the sticky rice - I enjoy all sticky rice so I still liked it a lot, but definitely wasn't close to the best I've had. The bbq pork buns were pretty good though, very fluffy and the filling was well flavored. Service was not too quick but still came in a reasonable amount of time. It was a convenient spot near our hotel to grab a bite!

The Ambiance & atmosphere is great too, it sits in the water near the science museum. Ohhh, u don't drink alcohol try one of their Mocktails/ Spritz. I got the Ginger , Pineapple & it was very good.

We ordered several dim sum selections - made with pork and shrimp, they all were delicious. We also had an order of gyoza! The service was great. They utilized an online menu, robot delivery (no worries, the staff put the orders on your table). This all enables ordering as you go - you don't have to do it all at once!

The duck was flavorful, a touch lean, and quite meaty. The crispy pork belly was ok. The flat noodles were drier than typical and the broth was tasty. The large portion was sufficient for one! Added on an oyster a la mode and it was tasty although the oyster was on the smaller side...bummer. Service was quick and attentive by the staff. They take credit cards too.

The food couldn't be more DISAPPOINTING…read more Initially I thought it was only me who was getting this weird taste in my mouth, but then everyone in my party of four started sharing their opinions. We had ordered three starters and five main course dishes. The king prawns, salt & pepper fish, and all other items had this taste of stale oil.. A lot of food was left uneaten as we couldn't bear to eat more. Our complains to the manager and the server were totally ignored, the manager said we change the oil everyday.... we even asked them to taste it themselves. With not a single word of apology, care or concern we were handed the check for € 293. When you go to a four and half star rating restaurant with high prices would this kind of experience be acceptable....shame on them!

We love to seek the best dim sum places in different cities. We ventured into Hoi Tin today…read moreduring our journey to Amsterdam. Hoi Tin is known for their baked items and D34. Pastry with BBQ Pork was one of the highlights today. The pastry was flaky and the BBQ Pork was seasoned well. The Pan Fried Pork and Chive Dumpling (D20) was the other item worth a positive mention. The glutinous, or sticky rice, was okay. A bit too salty for me and had a charred in the wok flavor which was heavy. The dough of the rice rolls was evenly thick throughout the dish, but not light. To me, it seemed like the rice roll was made in advance as it had a very chewy texture. They look nice and uniform, but I'd rather have something that tastes good. The biggest disappointment is a dim sum staple, Shui Mai (D02). They were luke warm temperature-wise. And the filling lacked flavor. The balance between the shrimp and pork leaned heavily on the pork, which was a bit gristly. The service is standard for a traditional Chinese restaurant. The staff speak English, Dutch, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Very impressive! They are also well staffed for a Chinese restaurant. The ambiance is the standard fare for a Chinese restaurant too. Focus is on seating, not on decor. There are several dining rooms and there is a case of baked goods at the entrance. Overall, they had some good and not so good items. Pick and choose wisely!

The restaurant was pretty busy and laid out in a weird place with the toilet up some stairs (not the most accessible). We came for dinner and sadly their bakery was closed and they were out of egg tarts. The beef fried noodles were my favorite, the wonton noodles were good, but the broth could have had more flavor. Nothing wrong with it, just maybe I expected more. Overall I'd give this place 3.5 stars because it was just fine, but since I can't do half stars I'll round it up to 4. Despite the score I gave it I'd probably still come back to try their bakery.

The filling was seasoned well, and the dipping sauce was perfect. The only thing missing was... Just more lol I think we could've devoured two orders easily. Pork belly stirfry was top notch, and I was blown away by the flavors and taste. I don't think I've ever experienced anything this tasty like this. We finished the entire order. The pork belly was perfectly seasoned and meaty, and each bite was a little bit of heaven on the fork. We decided that we wanted to top off the meal with a local favorite dessert. The pumpkin bundts were delectable! I'm normally not a fan of pumpkin, but these literally were perfect. Moist, tasty, and ironically, not over the top sweet. It was a great way to finish off an amazing meal. Fulu is a five star plus experience!

If you are looking for authentic Sichuan cuisine in the heart of Amsterdam, FuLu Mandarijn is a…read moreconsistently solid choice. It manages to balance a central, somewhat touristy location with high-quality food that doesn't hold back on flavor. * The Food: The flavors are bold and authentic. The Sichuan peppercorns provide that signature numbing heat without being overwhelming. The Kung Pao chicken and the sea bass are personal favorites. * The Atmosphere: Spread across three floors, the interior is stylish and cozy. It feels a bit more upscale than your average Chinatown spot, making it great for a nice dinner out. * Service: Attentive and relatively quick, even during the busy dinner rush. The only reason it's not a perfect 5 is that it can get quite loud when full, and the prices are a bit higher than other spots in the area. However, the quality of the ingredients and the presentation definitely justify the slight premium. Overall: A reliable, delicious spot for anyone craving real Chinese spice in the centrum.
