It manages to balance a central, somewhat touristy location with high-quality food that doesn't hold back on flavor. * The Food: The flavors are bold and authentic. The Sichuan peppercorns provide that signature numbing heat without being overwhelming. The Kung Pao chicken and the sea bass are personal favorites. * The Atmosphere: Spread across three floors, the interior is stylish and cozy. It feels a bit more upscale than your average Chinatown spot, making it great for a nice dinner out. * Service: Attentive and relatively quick, even during the busy dinner rush. The only reason it's not a perfect 5 is that it can get quite loud when full, and the prices are a bit higher than other spots in the area. However, the quality of the ingredients and the presentation definitely justify the slight premium. Overall: A reliable, delicious spot for anyone craving real Chinese spice in the centrum.

The service was perfection and they even provided reading glasses (since I forgot mine). Dishes were served plate to plate before being left on the table. After asking many questions and trying to figure out which appetizers would be the best to order, the manager offered to bring a selection of appetizers and a selection of entrees for our table of five. Everything was excellent! Recommended apps: Bones of Dragon (spare ribs), Tails of the Lobster (similar to a lobster spring roll), Golden Triangle (lamb), and oysters.

Authentic Dim Sum in the Heart of Amsterdam If you are looking for authentic Chinese flavors near…read morethe Red Light District/Chinatown, Oriental City is the place to go. It's a multi-level restaurant that stays packed during prime hours, which is always a good sign for the food quality. They serve Dim Sum all day, which is a huge plus. The flavors are very traditional. While the Dim Sum was solid across the board, the Beef Chow Fun was the absolute standout--perfectly prepared with that signature "wok hei" (breath of the wok). The staff isn't necessarily warm and fuzzy, but they are efficient. Don't expect a long chat, but you'll get your food quickly. Be prepared for a bit of a climb; the restaurant spans several floors and it appears to be stairs-only. It gets very crowded, so timing your visit is key. A must-visit for Chinese food fans in Amsterdam. Just be ready for a lively, busy environment!

We had ordered three starters and five main course dishes. The king prawns, salt & pepper fish, and all other items had this taste of stale oil.. A lot of food was left uneaten as we couldn't bear to eat more. Our complains to the manager and the server were totally ignored, the manager said we change the oil everyday.... we even asked them to taste it themselves. With not a single word of apology, care or concern we were handed the check for € 293. When you go to a four and half star rating restaurant with high prices would this kind of experience be acceptable....shame on them!

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.

Dining is indoors exclusively, split up on 3 levels. Started off with the crispy pork belly, roast duck, dumpling flat noodle soup and it was decent. The dumplings were filled with bouncy shrimp.

Added on an oyster a la mode and it was tasty although the oyster was on the smaller side...bummer. Service was quick and attentive by the staff. They take credit cards too.
