    I don't do sushi generally, but I am glad I tried some here. The menu is extremely vegetarian friendly, and almost has a pretty good distribution between fish and vegetarian dishes. We tried almost all the vegetarian sushi options and they were really delicious. Wasabi, I had forgotten how amazing you are! This is a perfect spot for a pre-movie dinner. There is a lot of seating; reservations are preferred but you might be able to find a table upstairs if not. The ambience is classy and quiet and you could decide to either get a regular table, a high table, or just dine at the sushi bar. The service is very nice for Amsterdam, and is almost American standard, you know, when the server commends you for every choice you make as somehow it's the best dish ever. Our orders were brought to is quite speedily and with a smile. Vegetarian friendly, classy, not-so-expensive. This is just my kind of dinner spot. I will definitely recommend the sweet tofu and the avocado sushi. Mmmm!

    Movie and a meal combo (valid Mon-Thur)

    This place is not good for lunch on a Friday or a weekend. Their a la carte menu is ridiculously overpriced. However, if you come during lunch or on Mon-Thurs, you can take advantage of their bento boxes which are much more reasonably priced. They also have a promotion on Mon-Thurs for a movie and a meal for less than €20. Food: 3/5 We had several rolls and also some teppanyaki dishes. The sushi was a hit or miss, some rolls were tasty and others were a strange combination (e.g. Ika Furai). Service: 4/5 The staff were friendly and helpful, checking in every now and then to see if things were ok (aka American levels of service). Atmosphere: 3/5 There is outdoor seating so you can do a bit of people watching as well. The inside of the restaurant is quite fancy. Value: 1/5 At almost €30 per person, we left still hungry which is such a shame...

    An excellent restaurant in the heart of Bijlmer (or should I say South-East Amsterdam? The service is actually un-Dutch, this is an extreme compliment in my view. General Dutch service is beyond crap. At Ichi-E the serving personell seems to care, if they don't they manage to hide it very well! The food was great, quickly served and, since we attempted to order things that were not available in the upstairs part of the restaurant, but technically in the downstairs part, the serving lady was very helpful in giving us (similarly priced) alternatives to make up the complete dish we had in mind. If you happen to go to the cinema or a concert, go a bit early and have some excellent japanse food with them! The staff deserves a big tip (at least when we were there)!

    It is close to where I work and wanted to have a nice lunch with Didi during work day. We got a table outside in the sun and after a moment we could order our dishes. I had some spicy tuna and some maki. The sushi was ok, not great, however for the price I expected better quality. The service can be so much improved. We had to wait quite long to order second time and there was no one to be found when we wanted to pay. General opinion. If you have a concert, movie, etc. in the neighborhood and you want something tasty and not too greasy then you can try it.

    Bad experience, waiting an hour for simple main dish. While not full terrace, 'the big group caused big waiting line'. Nmp.

    Really fine sushi and fast service. But not serving tap water if you don't order another drink, is just plain rude and ridiculous.

During my favorite visits, the bartenders explain each drink you order as they serve it and tell you the story. Every drink has a story. Sometimes they are busy or not interested and you don't get the story. I wouldn't have noticed that the drink tastes like a salad, and not in the bad way, had the bartender not told me the story. A couple of times I asked if they have merch for sale and one time they had pins which I bought. The next time I came, they were out of both pins and shirts. Bummer. I recommend a visit when you're looking for a cool place in Amsterdam, especially when you are staying at the hotel.

The decor was very nice as well. I didn't try any food there. Now it comes to the important part of the review. It's all about the cocktails. I got the Beeswax Old Fashioned(17 Euros).It was very good and a nice twist on an old fashioned. My second drink was the Paradiso Manhattan(17 Euros) and it was a tasty cocktail with something extra. It came with a piece of chocolate that was made with mushroom powder. They paired well together. I can't give it five stars for one reason. The drinks were very good,but they were a little weak. I felt very little to nothing after my second drink. I'm not a big drinker and I have a low tolerance for alcohol. The drinks need to be a little stronger. More of a kick to them. I would still recommend Super Lyan to anyone that has the pleasure of visiting Amsterdam on holiday.

We ordered beef bitterballen to try this traditional Dutch comfort food. Meanwhile, my husband ordered their signature cocktail called "Beurre Noisette" old fashioned and I ordered a Dutch Negroni (Negronis are my favorite drink to order wherever I go). Both were delicious! Meanwhile, we chatted with Iago the bartender, and Lily the manager. We learned more about Amsterdam and why so many people come here from elsewhere in Europe to work. Iago was super fun to talk to. He'd lived in Amsterdam for 7 years and It was only his first week here at NJoy. He was skilled as a bartender, being able to mix fabulous cocktails and also hold an interesting conversation at the same time. We'd go back just to be able to talk with him again, such a friendly bartender, very attentive, and professional. The beef bitterballen was so hot we had to wait a bit to try it. It comes with savory mustard that is better than any mustard I've tried before. Not sure why. The bitterballen were crispy fried with beef ragú inside. I'm not a fan myself but am glad I tried it. NJoy is elegant and romantic and cozy. There's another bar downstairs with a disco ball above. It would be fantastic to host a celebration event here. Their cocktails are memorable! Highly recommend!

Most of the establishments looked pretty quiet and dead except for Smokey and the club next door. Since we weren't in the mood for clubbing, we decided to go to Smokey. The moment we walked in, I noticed that it totally lived up to its namesake and was totally... smokey. Too smokey. It almost seemed like there was a fire going on inside. The place was pretty packed and busy, but we managed to snag a little bar table by the door. It was next to the vending machine for ciggies and under a large clock, so I could keep tabs on exactly what time it was. :) I sat on a high bar stool by the wall, while my bf sat with his back towards the room. It wasn't the best position for him to be in, as people kept bumping into him as they were walking by. He got a beer, and I ordered a mint tea because I didn't feel like drinking any more alcohol. I loved how the mint tea came with tons of fresh mint leaves. Totally awesome. They also gave me a Pickwick English tea bag with it, which I didn't bother to put in, as I didn't want any caffeine so late at night. We left after only one drink, as we were tired and the place was too smokey to hang out for long.

Let's just say I observed certain recreational activities in Amsterdam that I think the world should know about. Amsterdam is brand spankin' new to Yelp, after all. So they need all the reviews they can get. Smokey's is smack in the middle of Rembrandt Square, which is a haven for tourists. The inside resembles an above ground neon-lit cave. Pool tables in the back. Music videos playing on the flat screens. Every time I hear Kid Cudi's "Memories", I think of this place. Everyone stopped what they were doing to sing along :) Tables are communal. Most patrons are college-aged. They have a zig zag vending machine and they sell pre-rolled or bagged product. According to my traveling companion, their merchandise was much more pricey than at neighboring coffee shops (like Rokerij, which is awesome), but since Smokey's is a better hangout spot in a more central location - you pay a bit more. The quality is mediocre, though. I enjoyed a 4 euro pineapple strawberry smoothie at the bar. They don't serve alcohol here though, only smoothies, which I found to be quite common in the coffee shops of Amsterdam. The folks behind the counter were pretty nice folks, too. Overall, I would recommend Smokey's for the younger crowd.

We went on an evening when it was NOT packed, so it was easy to snag a seat at the bar. This place is a treat for the eyes. There are a lot of interior design touches that make it fun to look around and spot cool things/touches like the back wall of the bar and the lighted ceiling display. The upstairs was closed the evening we visited, but the manager allowed us to go up and take a few photos, which was kind. Speaking of the staff...the manager moves quickly, and will absolutely recognize new patrons (this isn't the type of place where you'll be casually ignored all night) There's a live DJ spinning in the corner, and he was pretty legit. The star of this review, however, is the super-hot bartender, Juno. There's an extensive list of drinks at this place, but my partner and I decided to order off-menu, asking Juno for an Old Fashioned. She was so cute. Her eyes lit up, she smiled a little, and walked away to prepare our drinks. When she came back a few minutes later with our drinks (they were truly beautiful and she'd even rimmed the glass with an twisted orange peel) she THANKED US for giving her "a real drink to make." We'd only planned to have the one drink and move on, but Juno's drinks were do damn good we decided to have another round and a shot for the road. Both my imagination and my immediate girl-crush deluded me into thinking Juno winked at me as I paid the bill and she said, "Do come back." But I'm here for the delusion and will always giggle to myself when I think of Juno's smile...and wink!
