    Waiting at the bar for our table.  **"Oh great!  You brought your baby ...to a bar..."  (Yes, American mindset.)  :)

    We came here because of the Michelin star nomination and it was close to our hotel. Unfortunately, although the sushi was fresh and the atmosphere seemed busy and fun, we had a HORRIBLE experience with the service. It took nearly two hours to have a normal meal that should have been no different than any other night out. This was not a tasting menu or coursed out.... it just took THAT long. The waitress seemed overwhelmed, so I felt for her, but she got several things wrong and refused to write our orders down. I was in the service industry for years, so I get it, but if your table is ordering 4 different small plates, plus ~10 different nigiri orders, you should write it down. Get over your ego and ensure it comes out correctly. Our individual encounter here most definitely overshadowed the potential experience we could have had. Oh well....you can't win them all.

    Excellent dessert. So nice, had to do it twice.

    A place you would walk pass on your first visit, but one you would never forget if you indulge in the culinary experience. A dimly lite trendy, yet romantic escape into the brilliance of Asian cuisine. The experience is like an Asian/Japanese tapas type serving, so order a variety and share. The hits were the Five Spiced Fried Chicken, (which looks like a fried chicken salad with a kick dressing), Udon Noodles and the Chinese Broccoli. The Steamed Cod is cool until the special oyster sauce is added. The ambiance is cool (in spite of the loud table near us). Tastefully decorated. Even has a cool lounge on the lower level. Overall, I would recommend it for a romantic evening.

    The service and food was amazing! Ordered the chefs choice with 3 courses. The atmosphere was pleasant and cozy and was a great place to have a date. The next time in Amsterdam, I will defiantly being going back.

    Special touches like this made it a perfect evening!

    See all

My friend, her young son, and I ordered 3 small plates and one of the sushi options. The flavors were balanced and the quality of the ingredients shined on each dish. However, the portion sizes were much smaller than expected considering the price for each item. Even my friend's son said, "I'm still hungry," after we finished what we had ordered. Overall, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was classy. I feel it is a great option for drinks and appetizers.

We went based off the website boasting high end small dishes. We were anticipating thoughtfully prepared Asian fusion cuisine in an elegant setting. We ordered the tasting menu. None of the dishes were inspired. The menu started with an oyster in the half shell with a nice Asian version of a mignonette. The mignonette was excellent but the oyster itself was a little fishy. The sashimi that followed was good but identical to sashimi anyone can get in any decent sushi restaurant. The black cod followed. Like the sashimi, it was good but nothing special. The last main was seared wagyu. It was nicely cooked but the sauce was a completely uninspired sweet sauce that actually detracted from the taste of the meat. The tulip pot dessert was hands down the high point. It was the one part of the menu that felt in any way inspired. The service was friendly but very slow and very disjointed. The music was too loud to allow a meaningful conversation. The dining room is thoughtfully designed and actually quite cool. So, if you're looking for a club that serves mediocre uninspired Asian fusion cuisine, by all means go for it. If you're looking for a nice restaurant with thoughtful Asian fusion dishes, you might want to look elsewhere.

Normally I don't expect too much from all-you-can-eat sushi place, but the experience here is an exception. Every item was freshly prepared per order. You are not picking out half cold food from a buffet. You are picking 4 items at a time. The chef makes them with warm rice and crispy seaweed. Once you finish a round, you can pick 4 more, and so forth. I liked every item I tasted: Eel sushi Salmon (both sushi and sashimi) Tuna sashimi Grilled sea bass Wonton soup with shrimp BBQ spare ribs BBQ Peking duck The staff are very nice and attentive. We couldn't possibly ask for more. Highly recommended.

    The Netherlands occupied Indonesia for hundreds of years and brought together Dutch and Indonesian…read morefoods. When in Amsterdam, there are many Indonesian restaurants. There is only one Bojo Speciaal. Nestled on a cozy street with lots of action, this place has been here since the 1970s. Walking in feels like a basement grotto with faint lighting and about ten tables in two rows. You already feel at home. Their menu is the standards of Indonesia, so there are no surprises. The wait staff are young and wondered if they were interested in being waiters. The owner or manager seated us. We ordered the SATÉ AYAM which is dark meat. We also ordered VEGA LOEMPIA'S or spring rolls which were disapointing. For the main course we ordered the NASI GORENG SPECIAAL or fried rice served with beef, pickled vegetables, skewer of saté and krupuk. We also ordered SATE-RIJST (grilled skewered chicken) in peanut sauce served with rice, pickled vegetables and shrimp crackers. Both were OK. Overall, this place is above OK, but did not feel it was great. When we paid the bill, they wanted cash, not credit cards which put me in an awkward position. It was about 65 Euros for the above with a beer and a soft drink. So, this place is worth visiting but with "reservations."

The husband and I ordered some specials from their menu. I ordered the Satay platter which came with chicken, pork and lamb. DELICIOUS! The sauces they give with it, even more delicious. My husband ordered some fried rice curry dish. Not sure what it was, but it was tasty. The food did come out a bit overcooked and service was slow considering we were the only customers in the restaurant. With a bunch of Indonesian restaurants around, this one is fine and not a bad choice. But if you get out of the touristy area you can find much better options.
