Great authentic Indonesian food in Jordaan district. There were many vegan options and the Rice Table is a must try! Service was very fast and food made fresh. Our waitress Setja was delightful and made many great suggestions. She is also very engaging and attentive. Cozy atmosphere and unpretentious but overall a wonderful experience! read more

Had a street dinner here and were able to try so much food! We did the choice menu and tried a plethora of things. I recommend trying a lot of different things. Overall the food was tasty but nothing too spectacular. read more

This place had such delicious food and friendly service! We got the rice plate combination -- definitely worth it.

A very good dining experience. Staff was very nice, patient, and informative. Food was all delicious. Price to value was on point. Atmosphere is simple but clean. Kid accommodating but not necessarily friendly. A place worth checking out. read more

Amazing food, good service, reasonable prices. Not far from the city center as well. Go here if you're in Amsterdam! read more

It's been close to 6months that I've now been in Amsterdam and in all that time, kept hoping for an opportunity to check out an Indo rice-table experience (which is to the Dutch, the equivalent of what curry is to the British). Finally a work colleague was visiting from Memphis and was keen to try out local cuisine, so decided to come to Restaurant Jun, which I'd been wanting to check out and bonus - it was located an easy 15 min walk from my house. Our amuse bouché was fried rice crackers with two types of sambal - One which was mild and the other one was extremely spicy, but held the hunger at bay while waiting for our main course to arrive. We decided to order the Rice Table 2 (€ 37 p.p) and for drinks, I got the Ice Tea a la Jun, which was decent but nothing really with any oomph or remarkable. RICE TABLE 1 dishes 1) SOTO AYAM (Aromatic chicken soup with kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass and ginger)- Basically with the starter, you had a choice of either this soup, which is what I chose, or a beef salad, which a co-diner got instead and said was very good. It was also more substantially plated than the soup (just saying, if you are more into quantity ratio). 2) RENDANG (Beef tenderloin in a Sumatran curry with cumin, turmeric leaves, lemon grass & galangal) - I don't eat beef so no idea how this tasted but my co-diners scarfed the dish down. 3) AYAM BAKAR PADANG (Chicken in a light red sauce from Padang with cumin, cinnamon & clove) - you know what? I'm writing this review a week later from dining in, and I honestly can't recall what the taste of this dish was like?!? Did we even get this dish? I am not sure?? 4) SATÉ AYAM (Chicken satay with peanut sauce) - Got one skewer per person for this dish. The chicken was tender but the peanut sauce taste was underwhelming for my palate. I think a pinch of salt was missing - too sweet! 5) URAPAN (Lukewarm vegetables with grated coconut, shrimp paste, red pepper & kaffir lime leaves) - One of my top fave dishes for the meal! The grated coconut +!kefir lime combo with the veggies was uber delicious. Would absolutely recommend this dish. 6) ACAR CAMPUR (Fresh pickled vegetables) - consider this more like a version of salad. The pickling flavors were spot-on! 7) NASI PUTIH (White jasmine rice) - fluffy and well cooked - we were given a generous serving and the staff kept coming back to check we had enough. RICE TABLE 2 dishes: 1) SAMBAL UDANG PALEMBANG (Shrimp in a red sauce with salam leaves and lemon grass) - Another of my fave dishes of the night! Generous amount of shrimp and fabulous curry taste. I'd get this again, but might swap out the shrimp for vegetables instead. 2) IKAN WOKU-WOKU (Seabass fillet in an orange sauce from Menado with basil) - Good Taste! I was afraid the orange sauce would be too sweet, but it wasn't and I really enjoyed how the curry basil taste shown thru more. 3) SATE KAMBING (Lamb satay with sweet soy sauce and red onion) - I liked how tender the lamb was, but didn't like the taste of the sauce. I think it was a tamarind sauce but the usual tart taste of that was extremely subdued and all I could taste was sweet. We also decided to splurge and get dessert, a dish called " Bubur Campor." This was tapioca pearls with coconut cream and black sticky rice porridge sweetened with Javanese sugar and pandan leaves. I thought the tapioca pearls tasted excellent but the black sticky rice was a bit tough and I didn't enjoy the taste that much of this specific component of this dish. Overall, this was a decent Indo place - the courteous and friendly staff were a highlight, but for me, the food really wasn't to my palate. I had a fun time out, but not in any massive rush to come back. Yelp 63 / 2019 read more

We were staying at an AirBnb in the neighborhood, and this restaurant came highly recommended by our host. After reading a few reviews, and at the recommendation of our server - we opted to have the small rice table for 2, to sample as many dishes as we could. If we were just a bit hungrier, we would have gotten the rice table 2 for the additional items, especially that sea bass that I had been eyeing! After dining at the restaurant I have a few final conclusions for all you foodies out there. I personally think that if you're a local and can return many times there - it might be nice to do the rice table your first time - but then go back for a la carte based on the dishes you like. If you're someone that likes to build your own menu, do the second option which is essentially like " rice table" but you choose your own dishes. For all others, especially if you're traveling and this is your only chance to try Jun - I'd highly recommend coming hungry and trying the Rice Table to sample as many dishes as possible! My favorite dishes were the soup I started off with, and the chicken dish (ayam bakar Padang). The chicken was so flavorful and tender, delicious. Overall the food was a solid 4 stars, but the service elevated our experience to 5 stars. No joke, this restaurant gave us the BEST service of our entire trip, and that's considering we went to two different Michelin-level restaurants. The service here was so personable, friendly and down to earth. The servers stopped by to truly chat, get to know us, and ask our flavor preferences and how we liked our dishes. I could go on and on, but their service was top notch and I truly commend them for it! read more

I had some misgivings at first because we tried to order two mains and a side to split amongst three and were told we had to order at least one main per person. Also you have to order a drink to get tap water, but seems most restaurants in Amsterdam charge for water and the beer is cheaper than water. We ended up going for the choice menus, where you select two mains (smaller portions) and a side (veggie) plus a soup or dessert. I chose beef rendang + seabass + green beans, which were all decent. The dessert, bubur campur, was the star - tapioca, coconut milk, black sticky rice, and I think some pandan paste. It was delicious. The waiter was polite, the owner (?) was very friendly and came out a couple times to check on us and converse, which we appreciated. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but an overall enjoyable experience. read more

An excellent experience. Staff helped us navigate our first Indonesian meal, the food was excellent and the service was by far the best we experienced in Amsterdam. The chef even checked in with us twice. Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant wasn't easy to get to on the weekend via public transportation. However, it was not difficult to find. Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered the rice table for 2. The items served were the standard mix/selection of items one would expect to receive in a rice table selection. Overall, we found the food preparation just about OK - more on the bland side. Nothing really stood out - other than the salad. That said, 2 things about the service really got us irritated. First, when we asked for an additional serving of fish, we were told that we would only get served everything once. Frankly, that was ridiculous becuase not only were they charging us 40 Euros per head for the meal, but the norm is that a rice table serves more of any specific items that may be asked for. Second factor that upset us even more is that the 2 women at the table next to us asked for 1 rice table to be split between the 2 of them - and they received exactly the same amount/quantity of food that we did. So, you can imagine that when we asked for a little more fish (they literally served us 2 small pieces of fish in our dish), and were turned down...... you get my drift. Basically, we paid 40 Euros per head for a meal which was served to the table next to us for a total of 40 Euros. We eat at over 200 restaurants a year across multiple countries. Never encountered such a strange pricing strategy or service. Just left a poor taste in our mouth after an average quality meal. read more

This restaurant has exceptional staff and delicious food. As somebody allergic to seafood, I appreciate a place where everything is made from scratch by knowledgeable chefs who care about their patrons so I don't have to gamble on getting very sick. Owner was happy to accommodate me and did so with gladness. We had tasting menus with a delicious assortment of chicken, beef, and egg dishes, including an Indonesian sweet coconut crepe for dessert. I can't comment on whether this is "authentic" food, but it is wonderful and our experience eating here from beginning to end was a pleasure. read more

This place is so racist. I'm Asian too and the waiter (asian man) tells us this -every person must order a drink in order to get tap water -every person must order a Main entree and we cannot share -told us we cannot share because this is not a 'chinese' restaurant -looks down on us and told us we should just eat in Chinatown Cannot assume all Asians are Chinese which is so ironic because he is asian as well. Do not go here. The customer service is horrible and racist. I've traveled through Asia, America, and Europe and have not experienced this sort of racist remark from any restaurant service. read more

One of the best meals Ive ever had with exceptional service. We hadnt made a reservation & one of the co-owners followed us onto the street to tell us he could accommodate us after we learned they were full with reservations. We had the Plates dinner, one starter, two main dishes, one vegetable dish. The tofu in yellow sauce was incredible. The corn fritters very tasty. Try the beef dish & tempe & potato dish. We will be back & recommend Jun highly. read more

Fantastic authentic choice for Indonesian in Amsterdam. Amongst some of the fancier spots, this is low key. They serve halal meat, rice table is the way to go. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. read more

We had a delicious dinner here at Jun. The service was delightful. Thanks to Jan & Eddie for a lovely evening! We ordered the "small rice table" for each of us. It included a beef dish, chicken thigh dish, chicken satay, a pickled vegetable and hot sautéed mixed vegetables all served with a generous portion of rice. The appetizer which was included is your choice of a soup or spring roll with shrimp. Both were wonderful. Make a reservation because the place is popular. There is seating outside. read more

Restaurant Jun - Indonesian Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Bit pricey, not possble to schare Rice table- so even with 2 small eaters it is not possible to order 3 if you are with 4. Food is excellent though- service mediocre but very friendly- some time to order drinks read more

We ordered the rice table 2, and it was a fabulous meal. Good wine and service, too.

If you are looking for an upscale rijsttafel experience in Amsterdam, go to Jun. This was my first rijsttafel and I truly enjoyed it. We ordered the ricetable #1 which was more than enough food for 2 people. The curried chicken was especially outstanding. Edy, the owner, is very friendly and we had a great conversation with him. I would definitely go back to Jun. read more

Quite a nice place for Indonesian food. Clearly above average. Open kitchen, friendly staff, all the dishes we're interesting (don't miss out the Cornfritters) and great scampi and fish dish. The meats were a little "very" cooked but tasty nevertheless. The wine list is not very long, you would hope more choices in the whites. And one bad point is when you ask for TEA, you are given a choice of tea bags, which is not tea. Too bad for a place supposed to represent Asia but it's a detail. But overall a good meal. read more

Wanted to eat Indonesian food one of our nights in Amsterdam, and found this place on Yelp. We were in luck as they had a free table even though we just dropped in. It is a small but nicely decorated place. Service was super friendly and helpful. They have menu options where you can combine different courses and be able to taste more of the food! Excellent! read more

My husband and I decided that part of our Amsterdam trip had to include an Indonesian rice table meal. Luckily, this place was not too far from the flat we were renting and had great reviews. We both had the rice table #1, which was delicious and satisfying. I also enjoyed the iced tea a la Jun and my husband had the Indonesian beer (which, after spending four days drinking Belgian beers, was a bit of a let-down). We made a reservation on a Saturday night even though we probably would not have needed one since it was never 100% full. In all, we enjoyed our meal and were glad to be able to have a new experience. Expect to spend a minimum of 50 euros for a meal for two. read more

The most flavorful dish was the soup at the beginning of the meal. The satay was covered in what appeared to be a bottled sauce. The chicken and beef were not well cooked and not well seasoned. They kept pushing tiny bottles of water for €2, which was annoying. Other than that, the service was fine... until I needed the check, when I had to ask three times. An expensive boring meal. Definitely will not be going back. read more

Nice food, efficient service, fair price. Recommended place.

Wow, I can't believe this place has such high reviews and how completely wrong the google reviews are. Nice setting, good service but man the food is really nothing special. My family is from south east Asia and I live in San Francisco so have had lots of exposure to south East Asian food. This must have been the worst experience and way overpriced. Really nice people but now I know I can't trust google reviews. In this case, yelp was more realistic. Vegetable stir fry was so bland and tasteless yet the beef rendang was overly salty. The chicken sate was just like the thai style ones with peanut sauce except the thai ones are way better. Beef rendang can't even compare to beef penang. The fresh spring rolls don't even compare to the Vietnamese style rolls since they totally lack aromatics of herbs and simple use the sweet chili dipping sauce. The ones in pho restaurants are half the price and taste better with nearly the same ingredients. What a total rip off and really poor taste in food. No locals go here, no Indonesians or even local asians go here. Only tourists, mostly Americans such as myself who didn't know any better but to trust reviews on google. Big mistake and we regret wasting a meal here when we have so little time in Amsterdam. I can't believe local Indonesians don't demand authentic food read more
