    We were in need of some hot soup and veggies after a long trip and experience at Tomorrowland, so when we finally arrived in Amsterdam, we looked up places near our hotel. Turns out Yuan's Hot Pot was highly rated and close enough for us to Uber to, so we gave it a shot. We came at somewhat off hours, near 2pm, and there was no wait at all for even 14 of us to come in. You order off a tablet, as most hot pot restaurants do now. There are several special combination orders, so be sure to check those out before you start ordering individual items crazily! They have a sauce bar, but no snack bar here. Broth was nice and soothing, and had good flavor. The meat here was pretty good as well, alongside their skewer options that were pretty tender too. Price wasn't bad, around $27 per person - definitely credit to the special combinations! Overall, a solid spot if you need some hot soup!

    No trip to Amsterdam is complete without a meal at Yuan's Hot Pot! This was my first time to this location as I was staying in Schipol. It was a 15 minute drive, so not too bad. Fortunately, I made a reservation earlier that afternoon for a party of 3; I recommend making a reservation through their website ahead of time. We ordered the half spicy and half tomato base soups and went to town on the ordering! Each table is provided a tablet to order each item, along with appetizers and drinks. Everything is reasonably priced and all the ingredients are fresh. The sauce bar is fully stocked and gives you a lot of options. The restaurant is busy, but the staff is very friendly and efficient. It is noisy, but not so much where you can't have a conversation. I highly recommend coming here if you enjoy Chinese-style hot pot!

    This is worth a visit when nearby. Make a reservation. Super friendly team works here. Prices are fair for Amsterdam. It's a fun thing. Everyone was in a good mood here and the Chardonnay was delicious too. I would suggest making a night out of it and not plan anything after - since you're going to be sitting in front of a hot pot for at least an hour. But surprisingly, our clothes or hair did not smell when we left.

    Can't imagine that I would find an authentic hot pot place here in Amsterdam. The food is very good and the spiciness hits home. The lunch special was economical and offered a great value. Overall a good place to stop for lunch after a day of sightseeing.

    Worth waiting 40 minutes for a table on a Friday night. I love a good hot pot and Yuan's did not disappoint. Lots of different broth, veggie and meat options. Despite it being busy, our server was always checking on us to make sure we were doing okay.

    A fabulous hot pot place in Amsterdam. My son comes here regularly and suggested we try it. It's a fairly big restaurant with gas stoves on each table and a tablet for ordering your food. They have a nice options for vegetarians and vegans as well. The broth is mild or you can make it as spicy as you choose. The variety of items to cook are also great and the flavors are first class. Loved it very much. Prices are reasonable and staff are nice and friendly. I love a good hot pot and this is one of the best ones I have been to in Europe. Happily come here again anytime :-) great quality ingredients and good friendly service.

    Very busy!

    Really excited to write the first review for this restaurant on Yelp. If you would to tell me that I will find one of the best hotpot restaurants in Amsterdam, I would never believe you, but that's what happened! I was in Amsterdam for work and discovered this when looking up Chinese restaurants. When I dined here, the restaurant had just been open for 8 days. It was a Saturday night, and there was actually a line to get seated. One of the owner is from Chengdu, she told me this has been their busiest night since opening. The store apparently is a chain in Chengdu and there is a store in Vancouver Canada, but this one is individually operated. Having used to waiting a long time in the bayarea for any good restaurant, it didn't bother me at all. After eating here, I told the owners to open a store in SF be bayarea right away! The good: Broth and ingredients are excellent, especially the broth, it was very distinctly Chengdu, they have their own packaging (imported from China chain of the same name) for the sauce and each person gets a small sesame oil can to go with rest of the dipping sauce, very strange consider there is a full sauce bar. The "chuan" in the name indicate the sticks in which many of the meats and vegetables get skewered onto, they thread each ingredient onto a long toothpick stick, very reminiscent of those fishball stalls in Japan and Korea. The meat ones are seasoned almost like Mongolian BBQ, except you dunk them into the broth instead. The sauce bar was amazing, whatever chillies they put in one of the bowls made all the difference. The bad: Given it's their 8th day open, I won't knock it too hard, but after waiting 50m to get seated, it took another 30m to get the pot onto my table. The waitresses that aren't Chinese, don't speak English all that well either. So a few times they brought out the wrong stuff or just very uneven service. The ordering is all done using an iPad, cool but inefficient. Also forget about getting water, you have to order a beverage, there is like no water, totally bizarre. I don't think I have ever been to any restaurant where they don't serve water to its customers. Lastly it's very expensive compared to even the most expensive hotpot restaurants in the US. You can expect to spend €40-50 per person, because they cut everything into small pieces it adds up very quickly. I wish they would only do that concept for the meats, but not the other ingredients. Overall though I would still very much recommend it, the food was delicious!!!

    so if you don't know the hat part places it's basically later give you a boiling hot pack in front of you full of probably need some spicy irregular and then you add meeting on the other things you've ordered on the menu. We did calamari mussels and beef and lamb. Is life all we ordered vegetables when they think that's a total waste cuz there's a served ran around with soup. and it's waste by to hear that mate I thought it was going to be but maybe they're not really pay attention of that. The beers were cold and all we had a Chinese beer and it feels like this but the fridge five minutes ago. a fun experience Hollywood do it again I'm not sure if they have these in America not check it out.

    Traveling in Europe in January 2026. Weather was cold, but didn't stop me from finding good food…read more Most of my eating experiences here in Amsterdam, was in the Chinatown area. This particular restaurant satisfied my craving for Asian food, located next to the Red Light District. Service was very helpful and friendly, food was just as good! Was also interesting to see the Asian staff speak Norwegian also to other customers. Great place to get your Asian food fix when traveling here.

First, let me say the carpets are filthy dirty, and we didn't realize this until we were seated. There are small flies, flying around on the second level where we were seated. While we waited for our food they were everywhere. We both swatted flies on our legs and arms. We ordered the ribs with bone in black bean sauce to share, and when it arrived, it was tasty but there were small chips of bones in the sauce that made it very unpleasant to eat. We sent that entrée back. We had the shrimp and chicken satay which we only ate half because the satay pieces on the bottom of the plate were just sitting in grease. So we paid for our soda and beer and the satay and departed. This is the definition of a tourist trap restaurant. I find it hard to believe any self-respecting Amsterdam person couldn't find a better Chinese restaurant to eat in.

Seeing a place like this would normally give you pretty substandard food and banking on the Chinese aesthetics but not here. The food was way above average with terrific taste and a large variety. And the aesthetics were very pleasant - especially being on the water! FOOD: So good. We ordered a BUNCH of food knowing we would take some back with us to the hotel. Now, I know I'm coming back whenever we visit Amsterdam. We had the 3 meat plate which had roast pork, cha siu pork, and roast duck. All so good. Really loved the cha siu (which is a Chinese version of BBQ pork). Usually overcooked, this wasn't. We also ordered kung pao chicken which was delicious. Usually kung pao is filled with veggies and other fillers but this was tons of great chicken! And then there was the dim sum. So good. Just yum. And good rice. SERVICE: Good and certainly better than expected. We had a nice English speaking guy helping us out and he was great. The food was served in nice sized portions and it came out relatively quickly. They serve it as it's ready and not in any particular order. Actually made it more pleasant. COST: Reasonable for what you get which is high quality food in a beautiful setting. Definitely worth a return visit.

    Wow a must stop!!!…read more We were staying at the Doubletree Hilton and the Sea Palace is right in front of the hotel! And it's stunning and beautiful. Our tour guide said it's a replica of one in China. We went late on a Monday and the place was packed! She said it was over an hour wait, but we only waited 20 minutes for a party of 6. Cool ordering process.. you scan a QR code and order from your phone. Service was really fast! Now the food... oh my goodness SO GOOD!!! Lots of choices and everything tastes so fresh. My wife is not an Oriental food gal, but even she said the rice was the best she's had! We ordered multiple dishes as it's served family style... the big winners.... Chicken Fried Rice... ... we order it twice! Lomain Noodles Singapore Noodles Chicken Dumplings Kungpow Chicken It was all fantastic and reasonably priced especially for a Michelin Chef!! Highly recommended

Their menu is impressively large and the dining room is small but inviting. Prices are quite high, but you are in a tourist area. We ordered a Kung pao chicken and a chicken fried rice to share. We both had a very weird 'chemical' taste that would occasionally occur with the Kung pao but neither of us could figure out what it was. The chicken fried rice was fine but contained very little chicken. My house white wine at 4.5 was fine as well as hubby had a Heineken. The biggest issue was the many Gnats that just descended on us once our wine arrived. If you zoom in on the picture, there were quite a few just hanging out after our plate we removed. We have been to many restaurants since we arrived here and this is the first with this issue. It got even worse once our food arrived. Very irritating. Service was just ok. We were here at a weird time because we are very jet lagged and trying to get on the time zone (needed dinner early). The staff were having their dinner so we felt a bit of a nuisance. Bill was about 50 euro.
