I passed by it and this older couple gave me a lot of choices to navigate through where they had an assortment of fresh fish and other good stuff. You'll find it as an unassuming stand across from the Maritime Museum. I ultimately picked the pickled herring (harring in Dutch, a perfect street food snack in the Netherlands) and the kibbeling, make sure you ask them to heat it! The fish was on point, very delicious and you'll receive the taste of ocean with every bite. The kibbeling is also very good. Very crunchy and with the tartar sauce, it was excellent. 10/10 would recommend. They also had eel sandwiches and other fish stuff that I didn't get to try, but I bet it's good based off their herring. Would recommend!

We found out about this place while looking up for restaurants to eat in Amsterdam and my wife…read morebeing a garlic lover, convinced me that we should plan on having dinner there. While walking towards the restaurant, i realized that it is located in the Reguliersdwarsstraat area (gay district) and hence the restaurant's name. Inside were around 6 - 7 tables and outdoors were about 8 tables. We decided to eat inside since it was a little chilly (about 45F) last night. For drinks I had the Aperol spritz which also had a slight hint of garlic while my wife had the mule mock tail and she ordered the 4-course menu special of the evening consisting of the garlic baker (whole roasted garlic bulb with bread & a side of garlic aioli), garlic soup (which she says was incredibly tasty), the catch of the day (baked cod) which my wife asked me to try and was the most delicious & flavorful cod dish that I ever tasted in my life and we had the garlic ice cream to share. I went a la carte and had the garlic prawns appetizer with Garlic beer & the lamb shank which was so tender that it falls off the bone, The food was awesome and the place is basically run by 2 people, the chef & the server. The service was a little slow for us since it seemed like the server knew the other patrons occupying the 3-4 tables inside and didn't pay much attention to us. I actually had to just walk up to the counter to pay for our bill after we finished desert because it seemed they were more interested with chatting with the 4 other customers who stayed for drinks after their dinner. Overall, the food was excellent but the attention to service was a bit irritating for us.

If I could give this place more stars, I would. We walked past this place in the evening, and…read morethought it was an unusual name. Given the area it's in with all the gay bars around, the name fits perfect in the area. Since we had recently flown in from Los Angeles, my roommate didn't want to leave the room nearby but wanted to try something local. Since we both love garlic, I figured why not Garlic Queen? We looked at the menu and decided on the Garlic Baker, Garlic Soup, Caesar Salad, Filet Mignon, and Pasta Pizzaiola. When I got there, I asked if they did to-go, which they did. The server mentioned he would not recommend the filet mignon to go, as it would be eaten later in our meal, and maybe not be as good because it would be cold. A patron inside even offered to deliver the filet mignon later to our room since he would be going by that way on his way home, which I thought was very, very nice. I told him thank you so much, but since the hotel was so close, I could just walk back. So he packaged the first three things nicely, and brought them back. The garlic baker, the garlic soup, and the Caesar salad were all superior, and above par. Even the bread rolls it came with tasted freshly baked. After we finished these three things, I returned back to get the steaks and pasta. He got them prepared in a timely matter, and they were superb! Excellent! Now I know why he wanted us to wait to eat them straight out from being cooked! Bottom line is everything was soooooo good, and beyond what I expected. The service and caring involved in my order (and how it was prepared to go) was above and beyond in any service I've received anywhere else. They've been here for 27 years, and I'll definitely be back on this trip to dine in, and even try one of their garlic desserts. I hope they're around for another 27 years for others to enjoy.

We decided to eat here though menu items were a little more than we usually pay, but we were in Amsterdam and on vacation. We chose a non-spicy beef and pork dishes though there were predominantly spicy dishes. They were both very good, though it was a split decision on a pork dish being a little on the greasy side. I thought both were flavored very well. Unbeknownst to us, both dishes came with peppers and onions. If I had known that I may have chosen another dish. A bowl of rice was complimentary, or it came with our food. I can't assume anything, so I was glad. Two dishes plus rice fed three of us very well. Service was excellent. Our server made sure we had plenty to eat and enjoyed our meal. Another successful dinner experience in Amsterdam. I will gladly recommend this Chinese restaurant.

Nam Kee has been around for a long time and the vibe is similar to the older established Chinese restaurants here. The window photo of large oysters pulled us in. The freshly shucked and steamed oysters were huge! Two of us had two each to taste different accoutrements. They were both delicious, although I liked the ginger and scallion the best. The large bowl of Won Ton Noodle Soup hit the spot. Lots of filling in the won ton skins, not some skimpy offering. The broth was not too salty. The combination Roast Duck & Crispy Roast Pork Noodle Soup was also delicious. Maybe next time I'll ask for the pork on the side instead of on top of the noodle soup. The skin would stay crispy the whole meal. No complaints though. Service staff were quick and no nonsense. While there was a crowd and turnover, we were not rushed in and out. Prices are higher than I expected, but then most of Amsterdam restaurant food is high. We will come back.
