The service was great. Super friendly, even when we spilled wine all over the place. The food isn't your traditional Chinese restaurant. The idea is more of Asian tapas.

The decor and service was very top-notch, it definitely deserved that star (unlike Koriander in Drachten). The food was definitely an interesting mix of Asian and French cuisines and all the combinations were pleasingly tasty and innovative. Food: 5/5 We took the 5 course chef's menu and unfortunately I forgot to write down the various dishes. However, everything was fresh, delicious and with many interesting compositions. One thing I really liked was that there was very limited amounts of seasoning and that allowed the freshness of the food's natural flavors to come out. The highlight of the meal was definitely the bone marrow. It may seem quite intimidating because it is served in the bone, but it was amazingly flavorful and tender. One thing I liked was that you can do a wine pairing per glass. Which means that you can choose which dishes you wanted a wine to drink with. This also meant that you didn't have to commit to a whole wine tasting (which is difficult for me because I'm a light weight and can't drink much). Service: 4/5 The staff was excellent and came around visiting our table, making sure we had enough water, wine and explaining all the dishes. Their wine sommelier is also amazing and recommended good wines that paired well with the dishes. For example, one wine paired with the venison tasted different before and after eating the meat. Atmosphere: 4/5 The decor exudes a luxe atmosphere and the decor is a very pretty understated Asian theme. (No tacky dragons - thank goodness...) Value: 4/5 A 5 course chef's menu was €57. It certainly isn't cheap, but the food was very tasty and well worth the money.

Actually went here on Saturday night with some friends by accident, the place we were going to was…read morefully booked. So glad it was - this place is a real gem. A Oriental/French fusion affair done to an exceptional level. Expect to pay around 40 Euro for for courses. A great wine selection for all budgets and some of the best service you will find in Den Haag. This is also one of the few places I've been to recently where you can have a conversation with those around you without having to shout. My only gripe, even though it's a small one was the time between courses. One of our party just had two while the rest of us had four so an extra bottle of wine was required. Not a bad thing unless your tastes are for the more expensive.

Asian fusion as they define themselves. Short menu but…read morereally well taken care of. Shiitake soup was just great and also the Ramen was excellent. Great big portion. They fell short on the cheek cake which is definitely not something it fits the Asian fusion piece. Great cocktails. My Japanese silk was very very tasty. Over all the service is nice but it is indeed quite slow. Not that I matter as I am a very chatty person but some of my friends were a bit annoyed. The ambience is cool with a very nice outside terrace for the non rainy day, an inner courtyard with fountain. Tables are really cramped up... and they do try to fit too many people on the same one but over all it is good, just book for an extra person and then you get there with one less :) it can be very very loud at moments. Not to pricey. Definitely a go again.

For our anniversary we wanted something relaxed and cozy but with good food and wine. We chose…read moreOpium for its asian menu and secluded inner garden. We ordered Asian Walk starter plate (€25,95) and a bottle of Marlborough Savignon Blanc (very crisp and mineral New Zealand white wine, approx. €31). It was a warm day and we are not big eaters so we thought it would be enough. And it was. Food looked beautiful and smelled delicious and the waiters were polite (maybe a little slow though). We started with the bread and duo of dips, followed by the tasting plate. Beijing duck and Bisque were stunning, shrimp and coconut soup were good and Vitello Tonato and Salmon cakes were average. The only problem I had is that restaurant poses itself as fusion ("restaurant where the Far East and West meet and several cultures join, inspired by all the beauty of Asia"), but west and east were not really incorporated together. You find a good asian food in Opium with sometimes out-of-place touches of european food. Read more on my blog http://www.nansypop.com/food/restaurant-opium/

The food highlights for me are definitely the vegan duck pancakes (total highlight!) and the Pad Thai. I also tried the red curry salad, which was a really interesting and fresh combination of flavors. If you're into cocktails, the strawberry and elderberry G&T is awesome. They have plenty of vegan options, which is a huge plus, and the service is always warm and super quick. My only minor gripe is that the interior is a bit on the dark side, but it's still a nice vibe for a date or a group dinner. Really glad to have them nearby now. I'll definitely be back!

Completely vegetarian Chinese food and it's cheaper than any "regular" Chinese place I've ever…read moreordered food from in the Netherlands. No worrying about whether or not that piece of "ham" was actual ham or tofu. No stress about finding a very meaty chunk of something in my sateh sauce. And no more wondering about mystery ingredients such as trassi or fish sauce possibly being used in my vegetarian dishes. Soy is just completely vegetarian and there's no mucking about, I love it. What could I love even more about vegetarian Chinese food? Well, besides already having a much wider range of dishes to choose from (over a hundred here as opposed to the same four dishes at any other Chinese of which two are noodles) they also add a lot of extra vegetables to their dishes at Soy. Which really helps to stretch an already reasonably priced take-out meal into a cheap dinner, breakfast and lunch because this food really fills you up. And let's be honest, we all know with Chinese food that we overeat, feel completely stuffed and don't understand how we'll ever eat again but then half an hour later suddenly have this massive hunger and wonder whether we've actually ever eaten any food before in our entire lives and then scoff down the leftovers like a rabid coyote. Well, suffice it to say I've never had that vicious overeating cycle with food from Soy. An added bonus: because I can eat everything here, I aim to try at least one new dish every time we come here. This is how I've discovered that I adore Koe-Loe-Yuk, which are little balls of "shredded meat", battered and fried and then served in a delicious sweet and sour sauce. So yummy and I definitely recommend that you try it too! To sum Soy up: -No worrying about meat or seafood showing up in my meal -Cheaper than it's non-vegetarian renditions -Actually a nutritious, delicious, wholesome and filling take out meal -In case you were wondering, yes, they're also vegan friendly And to close it off, my pro-tip: make sure you bring cash! No cards here but at least there's an ATM at about a five minute walk from Soy and it's totally worth the walk!

Yassss! I've been wanting to go here for such a long time! In the vegan community this place is…read morefamous for its delicious Chinese food and I heard so many people raving about this place online and after also hearing from my friend Rebekkah that is was awesome they went even higher on my wannogo list. Still it took me quite a while to go because it is 1. in Utrecht which is not around the corner, and 2. in is also not in the center of Utrecht so when I am there if often go to another place that is more located in the center of town. Last weekend we were actually on our way to another place but the event there got canceled so we decided to finally go to Soy, since we were by car anyway. That was a good choice! Almost all of their food is vegan, except for a few agg dishes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is quite small and it is mostly meant for take-away. There are stil about 5 tables though, so eating in is also fine. We ate some delicious food like vegan chicken with cashews, veggies and noodles, nasi rice with brown tofu and sauce and fried bananas. Sooo good! I understand now what all the fuss was about :)

If you walked by Hills & Mills, you'd think it was just a frozen yogurt shop and not give it a…read morethought for a regular meal. If you passed it by, you'd be losing out. My wife and I went there for an early dinner and we were seated in a small back room. The cuisine is Indian and everything is exceptionally fresh. We ordered the "Kebab Assortment", which wasn't at all what we were expecting (no skewers). One was ground beef spiced with coriander, one was lentil and ground beef with spices, the last was egg wrapped in potato. You got two of each of these, a tasty salad and a large basket of fresh-made naan that was some of the best we had ever had. All of the kebabs were tender and very flavorful, and the naan worked well to sop up some of the drippings from the kebabs. To drink we had mango lassi with ginger that was excellent. The service was helpful but slow, and I could not use my US credit card (which doesn't use the European chip and PIN system.) I'd definitely go back again.

I decided to try this place when I was staying in the neighborhood and wanted a healthy, tasty…read moremeal. I like Indian food and I prefer organic ingredients, and this place has both! To be clear, the neither the food nor the restaurant are traditional Indian, but Indian food is a heavy influence on their menu. The restaurant is a bit more upscale than what I'm accustomed to at many of my favorite Indian restaurants but not so much that it felt snobby; the ambiance was clean, well lit, and tastefully decorated in a modern European style. I'm happy that I looked at the menu in advance online, as they have an English version of the menu on their website but not in the restaurant. I ordered the Nihari Stew, which was a lightly spiced beef stew with some raw(!) diced peppers and onions in it, as well as some fresh seasonings on the side that I could add including hot chilis, a slice of lime, coriander leaves and ginger. I found that the stew was tasty and the beef was well cooked, but the flavor & number of ingredients was a bit more plain/simple that I expected, and beyond the beef, the other ingredients were all raw which didn't seem to be the best complement to a beef stew. I would have liked some cooked vegetables in it. The seasonings on the side didn't seem to be a good match either, though I love those flavors in other foods. It came with a basket of naan wedges; the naan (an Indian flat bread) appears in a lot of menu items, and I found it to be not as soft and fluffy as I expect naan to be, perhaps because it's made with whole grain flour; I would describe it as roti rather than naan. It's not bad, just mislabeled for those of us who are familiar with Indian cuisine. The restaurant has an extensive menu of wines and cocktails, but partly to save money I opted for a mango lassi instead (traditional Indian yogurt drink), which had a hint of seasoning that gave it an unusual flavor (cucumber water? not sure, it was hard to identify), and was thicker than most mango lassi's I've tried, more like a smoothie. All in all I came away from the meal a bit disappointed, as I was expecting it to have more of the aspects of Indian food that I love, but perhaps it's simply an issue of my expectations rather than the food itself. I also felt it was a bit pricey, charging €16 for a main entree, though I know that organic ingredients do cost more, so I felt the cost was enabling them to use high quality, healthy ingredients. It might be a better place for a tasty snack and beverage than a full meal if you're on a tight budget. Note that the only type of card they accept is the Maestro chip + pin debit card, otherwise make sure to bring enough cash to pay for your meal! There is a Rabobank ATM half a block away from the restaurant next to Coffee Company.
