Interesting that it is served with mayo and not ketchup (but it is offered on the menu). Ketchup must be considered more of an American condiment here in Amsterdam. Fresh, hot and perfectly salted served in a paper cone with the equivalent of 2 tablespoons of mayo...not nearly enough, but that is if you like the taste of mayo on your fries and we did. We sat on the bench nearby and enjoyed our fries in the warm sun.

Great variety of soups! Both of the soups we got were super tasty (lentil soup and Brazilian (?)…read morebean soup). We also got two quiches (goat cheese and mushroom?) which were really soft and flaky. Not a lot of seating, we ended up walking a little down the road to sit on a bench on the bridge and eat.

Service: The staff are super friendly and helpful. The salads are made to order and ready within minutes. Food: I've eaten many salads and soups and every single one was sooo tasty and healthy.

It's welcoming, warm and cozy with nice touches and comfortable seating. Price: The prices are affordable and worth every penny. Stop what you're doing and grab a healthy meal at Venkel!

It is a salad with of course lentils, but also goats cheese and nuts and it tastes delicious! I thought all the salads on the menu looked really good so I really want to come back soon. You can also create your own salad and choose all the ingredients. I also a had juice; apple/pear/mint. Delicious! Well it should be because its pretty damn expensive. 5 euros, and not even a big glass.. But well, it was good. There is also free water which is nice. The interior was beautiful and cozy. It really felt good and I felt very relaxed. I really like Venkel! I thought SLA was the best but now I like Venkel even more. The salads just taste amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Just try it soon!

I had a plain corned beef sandwich which was so good I decided to try the pastrami. That was even better. Had that with onions, pickles, and this yummy cheese. Sandwiches are small so I wasn't too full after my second. The owner cooks the meat fresh and is very proud of his work. All of the food I saw was delicious looking. There are two tables and a little counter and some outside seating when the weather is nice. I think I'll come back tomorrow on my way out of town.

As a "wok restaurant" Mister Shi is fine. They have all the basic things you'd expect; raw products…read morefor the wok, some prepared sides and of course ice cream as dessert. Fairly standard stuff. The thing is, we just don't really "feel it" over here. Not the same loving and welcoming vibe we used to have at "our" wok. But now that they've changed their concept completely, we're in dire need of a replacement. *cries for days* Anyway, the food is fine, but the way they work here is a bit weird. They advertise as having Teppanyaki style cooking available as well which technically speaking is true. Usually this would be part of the all you can eat service, but here they've decided that you will receive one Teppanyaki dish as a starter before you move on to the actual food. Bit weird, seems like a lot of cost cutting to me and I don't like that, especially not from a place that is smaller and more expensive than our old wok. Conclusion: fine. Really just fine, would not bring out of town friends here, but also wouldn't turn down the offer of someone else buying me a meal here.
