We really enjoyed our meal here. This is the first Chinese food I've had in the Netherlands that reminded me more of the food we get in Chinese neighborhoods in the US, like in San Francisco. It's lighter and milder than typical Chinese takeout, here or in the US, but it's still full of flavor. In fact, it's more flavorful for not being doused in oil or soy sauce like some other restaurants. The decor is clean, stylish, and comforting, and the service was very professional and fast even though they were busy.
There is a large menu of dishes with more varied tastes. The servers were very helpful in terms of choosing which noodles and proteins to go with which sauces, also for the shakes and bubble teas. It's worth asking because there are many options, but certain options are more interesting and varied than others. We knew we wanted garlic shrimp with white sauce, for example, but she suggested a nest of fried noodles instead of rice, which was delicious. You're also free to mix and match, and just do what you like.
We spoke mostly English with our server, and a little Dutch. Language wasn't a problem at all, but again it can depend on when you go or which server you happen to get.
It's good both for people who are slightly more adventurous and for those who are used to more standard Chinese-Indonesian takeout. Either way, you can try alternative combinations, or just find something that's familiar.
The dishes are slightly more expensive than the cheapest options, at 10-15 euros apiece, but it's worth it. The serving sizes are quite large and they gladly allow you to take leftovers home. The portions are closer to US sizes, and with the decor and service, it is good value for the price. For a lunch, you could serve three adults with two main dishes and maybe an appetizer, which brings the price down, but it's hard to be frugal. There are so many options we ended up getting 3 entrees and 2 apps which was more than enough for three hungry adults.
From the other reviews, it looks like some people have had less than optimal dishes at different parts of the day. It might help to go when they're busy (which is often around meal times), since it was still pleasant and fast. Once we go a few more times, I'll update if we ever have a substandard dish. Our food came out hot and fresh. (Getting served old noodles is a pet peeve of mine, so indeed that would be annoying, but it didn't happen to us here.) read more
