We were welcomed warmly. Seated promptly, and had excellent, attentive service the entire evening. We enjoyed the overall ambience. It was busy and bustling with personalized attention. We had the Rouge 74 Chinese menu and enjoyed each course. We started with edamame, followed by the most beautiful and tasty sampler of dim sum. The flavors were interesting and each piece was so tasty. Our main course was Peking duck and we loved the meal. The presentation was lovely and the steamed bao buns were a nice surprise. For dessert we had a specially made cocktail to complement the mango tapioca and gelato. Superb! The most enjoyable part of our dining experience was watching the bartender craft cocktails (we sat at the bar). His attention to detail led to cocktails that were true artistry! Our cocktails were truly outstanding. We highly recommend reservations at Ron Gastrobar if you are in Amsterdam. read more

Can I eat the whole menu? The only issue you might have is holding yourself back from trying too much. It truly is a gastronomic take on Chinese/Indo food. I am a sucker for the snacks and dim sum. Highly recommend doing a sampler. We also got the curry shrimp and beef satay. The shrimp was amazing and paired with white rice that comes with it but you can also get a side of noodles or fried rice. Modern and trendy vibes in the heart of Amsterdam with Spicy, tangy, Asian goodness! read more

Ron Gastrobar Oriental - Dim Sum Sampler - Asian Fusion Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

If there's ever a spot trying a little too hard to be 'oriental', Ron's is it. The interior is dark with loud music and small cosy tables. You'll see ducks hanging from their necks in a cold fridge downstairs, presumably the same ones that will grace your plates later with lackluster skin. Food. There were six of us and we ended up trying the blue and red menus. Shrimp toast... I assume the fusion here was the addition of avocado inside with the shrimp. Flavor was OK, but it was a little oil logged. Dim sum was interesting. The wagyu siu mai with truffle had a decent flavor. Har gao was black and not white as it is traditionally. Both that and the gyozas were good. The fried fish was the best dish. Sadly, the duck did not live up to the hype and not what Peking duck should be. The skin wasn't crispy and the meat wasn't tender/fall apart. It's accompanied by a sad amount of thin dough wraps for you to create your pancake with. Note: There were six of us and six wraps. So, you'll have to ask for more immediately. And it takes a while. Service was decent, but did slow down as the restaurant got busier. Music was loud and it got harder to hear as the evening wore on. Ironically, they tell you that you've only got 2 hours at your table, and yet they were slow to take orders, bring out food, etc. Loads of amazing restaurants in Amsterdam that this was disappointing for our last night in town. Particularly at the price point. read more

This is a trendy restaurant in Amsterdam Centrum, part of a series by Ron. This one is an oriental style fine dining establishment. The decor is very tastefully done, and I enjoyed the artwork on the wall. We came as part of the Amsterdam restaurant week, the menu was a three course dinner. They have a good cocktail selection and it was fun watching the bartender as we sat at the bar. They start you off with shrimp crackers with their house made sweet chili sauce. For restaurant week they offered a 3 course meal for €30: Starter: a dim sum trio of shrimp, chicken and a wagyu beef steamed dim sum Main course: Peking style duck served with jasmine rice and steamed buns. The duck came with Duck breast, duck dark meat and crispy duck skin Desert: egg white custard with cashews and kumquat ice cream. Loved every dish, flavor and texture all done wonderfully. Everything was beautifully presented, service was on point with each dish explained in detail and suggestions of eating order to get the most out of it. Wonderful first experience with this place and I would want to come back to try their regular menu too. read more

Pretty trendy here. I went with my Chinese friend so we were fully prepared to experience something that was too close to the original to be called "fusion", but maybe too far to be called "good". Couldn't have been more wrong about this place. In fact the only little incident we had in that vein was when the waitress explained to us with a straight face that "char siu" refers to "the way the pork is sliced" in China... we almost burst out laughing. Seriously, anyone could look this up and know that this was not correct. Why the chef or manager (who I'm sure she got that from) would tell her to say something like that without first looking it up I have no idea. "Fork roast" people... it literally means "fork roast". Anywho... amazing chicken wings- extremely creative. Amazing drinks (I've already stolen some of their variations on the classic G&T). Absolutely amazing duck! So pricey but so, so good. And don't get me started on that wagyu, beef marrow dumpling. You shouldn't miss that bad boy... All-in-all, great fusion, pan-Asian food. Well done guys... read more

This is Amsterdam's newest Ron Blaauw hard to get into hot spot - after trying multiple failed attempts at both a weeknight walk-in and calling ahead, I finally just asked to be placed on the next evening's waiting list should anyone abandon their reservation and had some luck with this! (hint) I'm being VERY critical of this place as I was wow'ed by Ron Gastrobar previously - the concept and menu are very similar to that restaurant (small plates meant to be shared), but with a Chinese spin to it. I am also a big fan of Asian fusion restaurants and being Chinese myself, I wanted to see how Ron would interpret some of these dishes. With all this in mind, I was not expecting authenticity by any means but I also did not expect to be as underwhelmed as I was. Dim sum was almost a complete letdown - from this part of the menu, we tried two types of siu mai (chicken and scallops), ha kau (shrimp dumplings), and the pork buns. Except for the porn buns, which were excellent if not a tad salty (they're also pan fried as opposed to traditionally steamed, and you'll never get a complaint from me about that!), it seemed as if these were brought in from another dim sum place and a flourish was added on top of each in an attempt to add something to the dish (ex: a dash of wasabi mayo or caviar). Very overpriced for very basic dim sum. Most of the small plates were very good - heads up for those who cannot handle spicy foods whatsoever: many of the dishes DO have quite a kick to them (as denoted by the number of Betty Boops next to each item - wut?). The stand outs for us were the lamb pancake with mango chutney, sweet and sour prawns, wonton salad with pork and crispy peanuts, and black angus tartar. The others were tasty if not a little indistinguishable from each other, with oyster sauce being a main flavor. We also tried the udon noodles - for 5 euros, this was actually a nice big portion, but was definitely not Singapore style by any means. We didn't find anything that appealed to us on the dessert portion of the menu, but luckily our waitress brought out some little cones of gelato (vanilla/cinnamon/sesame) on the house that were yummy! Bigger portions of these, please - I'd even pay you for them! The damage was a little under 300 euros for 6 people (including alcohol - the wine list actually has a number of wines by the glass that are good and reasonably priced, something for everyone). Service is also excellent here, the staff are attentive and can help you make sense of the menu options. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal but I couldn't help but expect more from something with Ron in its name! read more

I wish I could use half stars here but since I can't I'm going to have to round down to three. It was certainly an all right meal and the experience was about the same. We first sat down we really felt like we were being ignored while ordering. This picked up a little throughout the meal but there were only three other tables there at the moment so wasn't much of an excuse. For the meal and the drinks they were both a little better than average but it didn't knock my socks off. There were a few bites of the duck which were good and then the next would be really chewy and in edible. Both of the side and Swika really nice. The mushrooms had a lot of flavor and the okra especially was nicely cooked and spiced perfectly. Not really sure that we will make a return trip as it's a little pricey for what you gifts but in our case it was special occasion so you decided to splurge on it. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for an anniversary dinner date on a Sunday. We made a reservation online in fear of it being busy. We walked in and they have a coat check at the door for free, very convenient . The restaurant wasn't too busy, perfect atmosphere, great for a date night! The restaurant is a small plates menu, completely sharable. We ordered oysters, dim sum, and 3 small plates. All items were hot, fresh and delicious! Would definitely go back! read more

Excellent service. Amazingly, they kept the kitchen open late because we were running late. That would never happen in the United States. Waitress was exceptional and the food was very good. Particularly enjoyed the Peking Duck and the Buns. As well as drunken chicken salad. Very nice design of restaurant! read more

Ron Gastrobar Oriental - Duck! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

All dishes were extremely flavourful and though I usually am a big fan of Asian food I have never experienced something like this before. Don't expect a strict traditional Chinese place, but expect the greatest oriental food in the Netherlands and possibly beyond. The price is high, but the quality of food is even higher, so you're actually getting a great deal. read more

I never wanted to leave Ron Gastrobar. Seriously, the food was so ridiculously good, we were desperate to come back the following night, but it would seem that I'm not the only one who loves this restaurant, so my dream of a second night of deliciousness was dashed. I won't list out what we ate, because we tried almost half the menu, but I can say that every single thing we had was fabulous. Cocktails were also spot on. Make sure to make a reservation well in advance! read more

Really good food for a good value. I like the format of Ron Gastrobar and this Oriental version is even better, with a Dim Sum style. Every dish is very curated and the atmosphere is great. Sitting at the bar gives the opportunity to chat with very friendly bar men that invent amazing cocktails on the spot! read more

Would recommend the dim sum and starters. The pan fried bun is really good. The small dishes need to be tweaked they are the weakest link. Char Sui isn't chat Sui what you would get in Chinese restaurant. Maybe they should tweak the description. Egg tart desert was too heavy, too much filo dough. read more

Ron Gastrobar Oriental - Asian Fusion Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I love Ron's restaurants and last night we were craving Peking Duck. We tried it before at the Taste of Culture (hole in the wall kind of place, and it was great $35 for the whole duck, with the proper crispy skin and the lotus pancakes) anyway, we decided to try this place. There is a coat check at the entrance, which is such a great touch, we sat down and were offered some flavor enhancers (soy sauce, hot sauce, and pickles). We ordered two drinks: gin and tonic and the Oriental 2.0 For food, we ordered: wagyu dim sum with bone marrow; half a duck and Ron's famous ribs. The dim sum was amazing! we got 4 pieces and it was just perfect. Rich, flavourful, unbelievable. The roast duck was good, served with buns (not my favorite way of eating the duck) and it was only two buns, so we ate the rest of the duck without them The Famous Ribs were not to my liking. The meat was boneless and so tender, but the meat was covered in the sweet and sour sauce so I couldn't taste the meat itself. With 10% tip we paid 100 euro for the dinner. Overall I decided that next time if I crave the pecking duck I will keep exploring, but If I am in the mood for the killing dim sum, this place will be my first choice. I wish I could do 3,5 stars. read more

I had a wonderful meal here tonight, all vegan, and all super delicious. They even brought me a raspberry sorbet at the end of the meal! The service was impeccable and the vibe is super comfy and relaxed. I can't wait to go again! read more

We had dinner here first night in Amsterdam. Small plates, so we shared 6, 3 cold and 3 hot. Everything was delicious, especially the cabbage salad and beef with mushrooms. Dishes are 15 and there's dim sum, but we didn't have that. Ambiance is nice and service friendly. read more

I found this place overrated. Not bad, but they just couldn't get their flavors right. To salty, other dishes to plane, to long in the deepfrier... Obviously they don't fully get the Asian hang of cooking. And their fusion dishes with goose liver had to little of it in the recipe. Cocktails were a bit to sour or watery too. Staff was nice. But I would recommend people looking for Asian fusion cooking to look elsewhere. read more

The duck is fantastic. Cool location and well situated in Amsterdam. Great spot for small or somewhat larger groups. Seats at the bar or at the kitchen are great locations to watch the kitchen. Bartenders were helpful and attentive. read more

Ron Gastrobar Oriental is the real deal. The proprietor's of this restaurant have created a space that provides a sensory experience, a vibe if you will. Not only is the food delicious, the restaurant is also beautiful and everyone working there is hot, young and nice. It's sensual really, and there is no other way to describe it. But I digress, on to the food. I started with the dim sum tasting menu, it was delicious but also 12.50EU where the other ones are 7.50 or so, so just be aware of that. My favorite was probably the wagyu beef with bone marrow. For mains I had the roasted cod with bumbu Bali and the pork spare ribs. Yes the portions are smaller but they are intended to be shared, you can create your own sort of tasting menu. I also had a cocktail something that was not memorable as it packed no punch. It had prickly pear in it I believe. Stick to the food, and order beer or wine. The cocktails are expensive and not strong enough but the food is beyond on point. read more
