Was asked to make space for the waiting guests immediately after I finished my dishes and was enjoying tea. Whereas I understand the crowd that needs to be seated, wish they could have been a bit patient... It was a weekday lunch, btw read more

Oriental City - Dim Sum Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Pretty original Chinese food especially Guangdong dishes & dim sum. The roasted duck and spicy & sour soup reminds of old days in Hong Kong. Highly recommended if you like Chinese food. read more

Fantastic food and so many choices!! Great for family style sharing and everything was delicious. Staff was super friendly and there is plenty of seating!! A perfect place for a larger group to go eat since many other restaurants in Amsterdam can't accommodate large parties all at the same table. Would definitely go back!!! read more

Seriously this is the best Chinese and dim sum in Amsterdam! Service was too notch, and the food was perfect! Thank you guys for redeeming dim sum in our eyes!! We went from having the worst experience at the other place, to having the best dim sum of our lives. Please don't think you will stop eating because you are full, the food is just amazing and you'll want to order more. read more

Great dumplings, good service. Waitstaff very friendly and efficient. We've been a few times and the food is consistently good. It's less spicy than menu indicates. Shrimp dim sum is the winner as well as fried rice. read more

We came here twice during our trip. We just needed some good Asian food and on both trips the food was great. Try the mapo tofu and fried rice! Service was also super attentive! read more

Yes it's terrible. Service and food. Good location nice view but everything else was bad. Never will return. read more

If I could post less than 1 star I would. The entire dining experience was horrible. My dad was in town for a night and we both love chinese, we were starving and the restaurant was full (not a clue why). We ordered soup, which was bland n slimy. The spring rolls were inedible, they looked and tasted very old. The main courses were also very much below par, did not taste fresh, and the pork was some of the worst i have ever had. To add insult to injury, it was very expensive food, the service was terrible and very rude. I honestly thought i had poisoned both myself and my dad. Kitchen nightmares springs to mind! read more

My brother and I are here visiting on a budget and this was a really cool Chinese restaurant that wasn't too expensive. Wonderful food and great service as well! read more

I've been craving dim sum for a while so why not satisfy that craving while out of town! I must of ordered damn near everything on the dim sum menu and I was not disappointed. All dishes were awesome. Price wise you can't beat this place. Location wise this place lies in the touristy part of Amsterdam. There's nothing better than smoking hella joints then eating dim sum. The only thing I didn't like about this place is the walk up to the dining area. Word from the wise use the elevators. read more

Oriental City - Dim Sum Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I'd have to say this is my favourite Chinese-Indonesian restaurant - partially because Chinese-Indonesian restaurants are something of a Dutch/Flemish specialty, so we don't really get them in UK, where I (notionally?) live. That semantic point aside, nonetheless of the set of Chinese-Indonesian restaurant I've tried in the Nederlands over 15 years or so as a regular visitor, I find this Amsterdam restaurant not far from Dam Square to have the best combination of ambiance (nicely decorated, linen tablecloths), menu (albeit there seem to be less Dim Sum options now than there used to be, with no Cha Siu Bao on my latest visit), service and pricing. My recommended dish: Babi Panggang (an Indonesian-Malay-Chinese fusion) read more

Pretty decent Chinese food! My friend and I ordered some dim sum, wonton noodle soup, and the lo mein! All of which were delicious! Staff was very courteous. My only complaint was that it took them 20 minutes to give me my bill, but the place was nearly empty! Not a huge issue...but a tad bit annoying. read more

This restaurant has the best Chinese food that I've ever tasted! Usually in Los Angeles when I ask for salad in a Chinese restaurant I get a not so tasty salad but here?! Where can I start?! The appetizers, soups, salads and food specially their thin noodles ( not wide or thick like here) were amazing! We were so happy we gave this beautiful place a try and I have to mention our server Mike or Jake( couldn't read his hand writing!) was one of a kind. We truly enjoyed being here. Now we know where to eat the best Chinese food in Amsterdam! Highly recommend. read more

the food is not authentic as it is in HK. Rubbish on the floor, dirty tables, terrible service ever

Was surprised to learn that there was good dim sum in Amsterdam! Super clean place with great staff and food. Food like everyone has said is not greasy and flavor is authentic! The mister said it was probably the best ckn feet he's ever had. I wouldn't know, I don't eat it. Fast service and affordable. We waited about 20 mins for a table for two at noon. For 7 dishes, tea, and two waters, we paid $40. read more

VERY good, Nice staff, great typical food :) would recommend ! In the heart of the Red District ! read more

Dim sum was served quickly. Most selections were as good as other Asian places. Staff was efficient and friendly

Very average European-standard Chinese-Cantonese food. The best thing we ordered was a spicy beef noodle, which actually tasted authentic. Everything else was quite bland. Extra stars for the decor and great location on the water. read more

Yelp, you wronged me here. You really really wronged me. This was the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. I ordered the chicken chop suey and the spicy prawns dish. Spicy prawns was average, definitely three star worthy. Chicken chop suey? Disgusting. Beyond gross. The portions were generous except when it came to the white rice, super stingy. Service was friendly and food came out hot and fast. Maybe I just ordered the wrong dish? I don't know. I just know I will never go back to find out. read more

This is a rave-review! Not outside of San Francisco have I had dim sum this perfectly steamed and freshly prepared. Not a freezer in sight! Sticky rice was just as sticky as it should be, the steamed prawn dumplings, Ha Kauw, were PERFECTION. A 5 min wait was worth the wait and a most lovely waitress, all smiles and service. I am embaressed to say I had THREE ice teas but they were made on real black tea with sugar, ice and lemon and I couldn't control myself! Turned out they were TWO euro a piece. A bargin! Also delish: the prawn springrolls and the Sieuw Mai! Go for it! read more

this is as good as it gets in Amsterdam for chinese and dim sum. weirdly and wonderfully authentic. fast service, centrally located, easy to get a table and reasonably priced for the city center. read more

Please, for the love of God, don't come here. I live in Den Haag and I had friends visiting from the States, we were looking for good Thai food but we were so hungry that we thought that some dim sum would be just as fine. Were we wrong!! This restaurant sits on 3 stories of primo Amsterdam real estate, I assumed that the food would be good and frankly, wasn't expecting much from service. My friends were on a budget (backpacking) and we tried to keep it light considering how many snacks we anticipated trying out in the streets. We asked for tap water (perfectly potable in the Netherlands as in many European countries) and our hostess pushingly told us that a bottle of flat water would be enough for three people. I asked for a diet Coke and she went off to grab our drinks. This place is DEFINITELY taking glass bottles of water and refilling them with tap water, charging you 7,50 euros for it. The bottle had all kinds of scuff marks and signs of wash and wear. It was just infuriating. Their drink prices are nowhere on the menu. My diet Coke had its cap open, which leads me to assume that they do the same with their soft drinks, and keep a fountain in the back. 9,50 euros on liquids alone!! We placed an order of 2 dim sum and a noodle dish to share, and she replied very sternly and aggressively. "This is not enough food for three people. IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH!!" We were so embarrassed by the way she yelled that we ordered an additional order of dim sum and hoped that it would be the end of it. I, personally, am very polite with servers, they handle my food and there's a great deal of respect that needs to be paid to people in that position. But I held back from any communication with her after she yelled at us. I assumed that we were just going to have to bite the bullet on this bill and just power through the lunch and count it as a loss. SOMEHOW THINGS GOT WORSE!! When our food arrived, we got our dim sum and noodle dish, a VERY OLD- looking sliced pork dish on the side. It looked like something that came with our noodles, and the server did not deliver this dish herself, so she supposedly had an excuse to have not seen it from the get-go. I avoided it entirely because it looked disgusting, but my friends ate and left most of it, that's how gross it looked. About 5 minutes later, a very pushy older server came by and tried to make room on our table for 3 more dim sum dishes, quite literally saying "Okay you ordered these shrimp rolls ladies!!" I decided to speak up because I knew that they were trying to hike up our bill and very sternly told them that we didn't order those and to take them away. The server comes by after we asked for the check and accusingly pointed at the pork dish and said "Did you order this with someone else??" and we replied that it came with the noodles. She was obviously setting herself up to justify us buying more food than we had initially ordered. My friend had to speak up in a very defensive manner to tell her that we didn't order it, nor were we going to pay for something that they clearly messed up on. She comes back with the check containing the pork dish that we did not order. We had to argue with her to get it off our bill. She continued to point to it and us throughout the whole process and discuss the matter with other employees. It was a very very embarrassing situation to be part of, but in the end we got our check back containing only the items we ordered. Having said all that, it was still sub-par food, the meat was ALL old, the flavors were lacking, the ambiance was horrid, the service was beyond unprofessional, and I wouldn't go there again if I was paid to. Please, please, PLEASE! Go somewhere else. read more

The food was amazing and staff is actually really great. This is not a tourist trap at all. They have great food. You have try their crispy duck. read more

If you ever find yourself in Amsterdam craving for Chinese Food....then this is the place to go! Service was quick, place was clean and server helped us with a big smile! Food was really good and even my teenage daughter who hardly ate vegetables scarfed down the platterful of stir fried gai lan in sesame oil! I bookmarked this restaurant in case I ever find myself back in Amsterdam! Definitely 5 stars for me! read more

Bad service and slow food. The fried mushroom and meatballs had a 1/4 of a teaspoon of meat and mushrooms total the waiter suggested we try to spinach after the bill came we found out it was 15 euro! For a plate of spinach.... then a whole 30 mins later both of us had food poisoning. Awesome thanks read more

The service was mediocre, and everything on our table was dirty. The waiter came out with utensils, cups, and plates. There were unwashed food residue on some of them, and he literally scratched if off with his fingers in front of me as if that was normal. Table cloth had food stains from however long ago, and they didn't bother to change the cloth either. The taste of the food we ordered was no better than some Chinese fast food (In fact, I would prefer some Panda Express over the food we were served with at this restaurant, and I actually don't even like the usually greasy food at Panda Express) For obvious reasons, we will not come back. read more

Pretty good Chinese food in Amsterdam. Service was quite fast and food is tasty. I didn't taste any MSG in their food, which is good. :)

Giant menu selection, giant seating area, friendly and prompt service, and lovely views from the window seats over the neighborhood. Food tastes fresh, comes piping hot, prices are a bit high but what can you expect from in the middle of the tourist haunts. Whenever I've got a Chinese craving in the neighborhood, I'm definitely at Oriental City! read more

The ribs was dry, 3 pcs for 14€, service was slow. Been to the different kind of Chinese restaurant but this place is so expensive. Overall it's not worth with the price. read more

Skip. Dim sum and lumpia were really bad. Ramen place across the street is a better bet than this. It's is easy to get in and relativity quick so I guess there is that. read more

Oriental dim sum restaurant, lekker typical Cantonese food! Love their homemade milk tea and ice tea!

This was a fun little divey find, while we were walking around the street of Amsterdam. They have really great Dim-Sum and you want to sit on the second or third floor overlooking the streets and river. read more

I've come here twice now. The first time I went for dim sum and the food was good though a bit overpriced (typical for Amsterdam) but the service was really rude. It took me a while before I would give it another try. I came again for dinner and the service was completely different. All staff we encountered were friendly and quick. The food was good too. Siu mau and crispy duck pancakes were particularly good. I would come back again if I had a craving for Chinese though would know that the service is hit and miss. read more

I'm sort of picky when it comes to Chinese Food. Not that I'm an expert, but I tend to go where the Chinese populace in my city go. The food is always good. But after so many visits to Amsterdam and a close friends hunger, we decided to try this spot. It's always seemed iffy and flashy to me, but after realizing more than 50% of the customers where Asian, I knew I could trust the food here. I also use the same criteria for other Ethnic foods and Truck Stops. Truckers know where to eat. We flipped trough the menu and I was stunned by how many dishes I didn't know. They had my mouth watering in no time. I wish we had been here for Dim Sum. I had a triple meat dish and my friend had a beef dish. Neither of the names spring to mind but i have photos. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers and then our main dishes which we shared. Some veg on the side and we were both very happy. I will be back here for every trip in the future.The best Chinese I've had away from the Western part of the US. Almost as good as my favorite spot in Arizona. Don't be afraid of the area, you want go away disappointed if you eat here. read more

Very mediocre and overpriced Chinese food. Waitress was absolutely rude! Not only did she mess up my order and force me to pay for a more expensive meal, but she rudely yelled at me and said I was at fault. The whole experience was terrible. Would not recommend. read more

When in need of authentic, high quality Dim Sum in the center of A'dam, this is your place. Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes, and to be rewarded for your patience! read more

When you sit down you are greeted with about 6 different menus. Be sure to ask for the Dim Sum menu as this is what they are known for and they were great. Lots to choose from and we were not disappointed. Good value as well. We had a seat along the canal on the second floor with great views and delicious food. read more

Still the best dim sum you can find in Amsterdam!! Huge multi stock restaurant. Child seats need replacement.

Unfortunately the yum cha is on the bland side. The quality of it was good however. Specific critique: prawn dumpling and Singaporean rice noodle stir fry lacked seasoning and flavor. Chicken feet and prawn flour roll was a little better than average. Service is attentive. read more

Probably some of the best Chinese food I've had. I hear that in ancient China, they just call it food.
