Asian Glories - Wonderful deco but very smelly room full of oil's smell.

Asian Glories

Disappointing, sad and hopefully no future ahead…read more For a 37€ p/p surprise menu (4 courses) you may get 1 chicken breast soaked in oil, 2 dim sum and 2 fried undescribed items, 2 small pancakes with 2 slices of duck skin and for main course stir fried meat, a few shrimps and a few vegetables. On the top of this uncreative cuisine, all the service took ages. If you are hungry you won't leave the place satiated but angry! Any banal Chinese would do a better service than Asian (in)Glories. Darwin theory will apply to this restaurant.

One star for feeling hugely disappointed and cheated by tMichelin; two stars for very friendly…read morestaff and flexibility to cook something special for me - Mapo Tofu. Em, let's start from the initial feeling entering the restaurant, heavy smell of oil made it cheap atmosphere, but I said to myself to wait for the food. Horrible wine list and obviously a 'China town' level restaurant, but the interior are nice :) non of the menu items attracts a real Chinese, I ordered chicken in shacha source, Mapo tofu and erg fried rice. Plain rice also came as free, what a nice surprise! I really appreciate the offer to cook anything I want as a Chinese, but I have to say the Mapo tofu has nothing about Mapo tofu, even I cook better. Shacha chicken was literally tasting like chicken fry with shacha source from the supermarket, very very very normal. We also order desert 'osmanthus flower cake with lychee ice cream', that was special - I mean the lychee ice cream.the home-made osmanthus flower cake was too disappointing! Well, what worst is that Michellin gave this restaurant 'recommended' from 2007-2014. I am so disappointed by Michellin's standard and just wonder if there's any proper Chinese restaurant in Rotterdam?!

The go-to place for dim sum in Rotterdam. Big portions, big bites and all satisfying inside and…read moreout. The service leaves much to be desired however as food may take long to be served and the waiters and manager are unsympathetic. Nevertheless this bustling restaurant with a lively ambience and good variety of traditional dim sum provides everything you need for a hearty meal.

This place certainly lives up to its name of 'pearl', it is hidden in a building on the 2nd level…read more You can either take the stairs or the elevator (left one only). Finally, I have found a dim sum place that I would be proud to recommend to people. I prefer this place to Sea Palace, Oriental City in Amsterdam and Kee Lun Palace in The Hague. Food: 4/5 This is the first dim sum place in the Netherlands that has dim sum that meets the standards of what I would expect back home (NYC). The dishes are tasty and they even have a few new ones as well. No longer do I have to say "this is better than nothing", I actually came back here because I wanted dim sum. Service: 3/5 It is quite standard Chinese service, which means they are curt and efficient. You order everything on a piece of paper and they bring you the food, which means that you do have to wait a bit for it. However, none of this is any different from other Dutch places. Atmosphere: 4/5 This place is bustling during the weekends, even in the early afternoon when dim sum would usually be done. It is clear that coming here is a weekend tradition for many Chinese families, like it should be. This is exactly what a dim sum place is like and should be. Value: 3/5 Dishes were around 3-4 euros a plate, which is about average for most dim sum places here.
