My wife and I were looking for a dim sum place near where we were as we walked back to our hotel,…read moreand One Dim Sum popped up on Yelp! 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.

First, let me say the carpets are filthy dirty, and we didn't realize this until we were seated. There are small flies, flying around on the second level where we were seated. While we waited for our food they were everywhere. We both swatted flies on our legs and arms. We ordered the ribs with bone in black bean sauce to share, and when it arrived, it was tasty but there were small chips of bones in the sauce that made it very unpleasant to eat. We sent that entrée back. We had the shrimp and chicken satay which we only ate half because the satay pieces on the bottom of the plate were just sitting in grease. So we paid for our soda and beer and the satay and departed. This is the definition of a tourist trap restaurant. I find it hard to believe any self-respecting Amsterdam person couldn't find a better Chinese restaurant to eat in.

It's fine Cantonese food, about what you'd expect from a regular Asian restaurant in Amsterdam…read more Nothing spectacular, but did the job when we were hungry and wanting some dim sum. 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!

Seeing a place like this would normally give you pretty substandard food and banking on the Chinese aesthetics but not here. The food was way above average with terrific taste and a large variety. And the aesthetics were very pleasant - especially being on the water! FOOD: So good. We ordered a BUNCH of food knowing we would take some back with us to the hotel. Now, I know I'm coming back whenever we visit Amsterdam. We had the 3 meat plate which had roast pork, cha siu pork, and roast duck. All so good. Really loved the cha siu (which is a Chinese version of BBQ pork). Usually overcooked, this wasn't. We also ordered kung pao chicken which was delicious. Usually kung pao is filled with veggies and other fillers but this was tons of great chicken! And then there was the dim sum. So good. Just yum. And good rice. SERVICE: Good and certainly better than expected. We had a nice English speaking guy helping us out and he was great. The food was served in nice sized portions and it came out relatively quickly. They serve it as it's ready and not in any particular order. Actually made it more pleasant. COST: Reasonable for what you get which is high quality food in a beautiful setting. Definitely worth a return visit.

Wow a must stop!!!…read more We were staying at the Doubletree Hilton and the Sea Palace is right in front of the hotel! And it's stunning and beautiful. Our tour guide said it's a replica of one in China. We went late on a Monday and the place was packed! She said it was over an hour wait, but we only waited 20 minutes for a party of 6. Cool ordering process.. you scan a QR code and order from your phone. Service was really fast! Now the food... oh my goodness SO GOOD!!! Lots of choices and everything tastes so fresh. My wife is not an Oriental food gal, but even she said the rice was the best she's had! We ordered multiple dishes as it's served family style... the big winners....

Dining is indoors exclusively, split up on 3 levels. Started off with the crispy pork belly, roast duck, dumpling flat noodle soup and it was decent. The dumplings were filled with bouncy shrimp. 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.

It's very traditional yet not fancy. There may be a line, but worth waiting under 10 min usually.

Sometimes need some background noise!

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!

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.

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!

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.
