    Seared scallops with risotto. Crusted prawns on a sweet potato puree. Smoked duck breast.
    Ty M.

    Wow. We took a bus tour from Amsterdam. My wife had scoped this place out as a "must" while we were in Volendam. Unfortunately, our bus tour alloted one hour for "lunch", and we were a 15 minute walk away (which obviously meant a 15 minute walk a back) -- so we had 30 minutes. We decided to chance it, so off we went. We made up some time on the walk, and advised the gentleman at the front we only had 40 minutes...he assured us it would be plenty of time. Little did we know at the time that the "gentleman" was actually Evert, the owner's son. We actually left all decisions to Evert, both for the sake of time and because we wanted a sampling that he suggested...and there is no way we could have made a better decision. First, the salmon with caviar. Two luscious bites of smoked, salty goodness. Phenomenal. Second, a sampling of smoked fish -- salmon, eel, and a third that was white and very flaky, but I cannot remember what it's called. Either way, fantastic. Third, the main courses. First we a seared scallop on a bed of tomato risotto. Easily the best scallop I have ever had, and one of the best things I've ever eaten period. I cannot speak highly enough of how delicious this bite was. Second, a crusted prawn in a sweet potato puree. Also very, very good. Last was the smoked duck, which was good, but not nearly as good as everything else, at least to me. Evert did a phenomenal job and we were back to our bus on time. We will definitely be coming back here before we leave Amsterdam. This is a place you *must* visit. Find a way to get there. Drive to Volendam if for no other reason than to visit this place. You will not be disappointed.

    Haddock stew. Absolutely amazing !

    This place is amazing!! It is definitely worth the 30 minute bus ride from Amsterdam Central. They are famous for their smoke fish, so I got their smoked fish appetizer which comes with a sampling of the eel, sea bass, salmon, and sea bream. They do artisan smoking, so it is delicate smokiness and not overpowering. I also tried the haddock stamp pot, which is a traditional dutch dish which consists of red cabbage mixed with mashed potatoes, and meat cooked in butter and mustard (don't worry- the mustard is barely noticeable). It was sooo yummy. I am very picky about my fish, and my food, and this place surpassed expectations.

    From the owner: We nemen u mee naar het Verre Oosten. Bij Hollywok kunt u…read moreterecht als u een stevige trek hebt in gezond eten. Bij Hollywok zult u merken dat gezond eten ook lekker kan zijn. Dit wokrestaurant voor Amsterdam en omgeving is uniek in zijn soort. U loopt langs de vele eetkraampjes, ruikt heerlijke gerechten en hoort het houtvuur knetteren. Het is warm, erg warm zelfs, u heeft trek en wilt eten. Niet te zwaar en niet te licht, gewoon subtiel en toch apart. Saté? Of toch verse vis? ... lekkere salade, fruit ... Ach ... het kan allemaal. De keuze is aan u, of u nu wel eens in het oosten van de wereld bent geweest of niet, het maakt niet uit, reizen hoeft niet meer ... De Wok Experience is nu binnen handbereik. U kiest zelf de verse ingrediënten uit, en kijkt rustig hoe het gerecht bereid moet worden, u loopt langs de wokstraat en maakt uw keuze: Wordt het de teppanyaki of toch de grill. Of koken in bouillon? Allemaal even gezond, licht verteerbaar en heerlijk van smaak. Vervolgens kiest u voor één van de overheerlijke sausen en het smullen kan beginnen. Het bijzondere aan dit concept is dat u zelf bepaald hoeveel u eet, wat u eet en hoe het bereid wordt. Er zijn diverse ingrediënten waar u uit kunt kiezen. U kunt zelf combinaties verzinnen, of voor de traditionele combinaties kiezen. Er is vers fruit, soep, vlees en vis ... er is zelfs een speciale saté grill waarop u verschillende soorten saté kunt bereiden...

    This is probably one of the most interesting restaurants / buffets I have ever been to. First off,…read moreVandaag is part of the Foodspot joint which is located in a very industrial neighborhood of Utrecht. The Foodspot actually looked like a small mall that only serves food. Vandaag taken up the whole second floor. We arrived with a filled parking lot, reservations were made and we basically just walked right in after the tables were paid for. I'm surprised how big the location was. The dining area is so large, and there are several private rooms and a smoking room available. There were seven small kitchens (stations) that have their own specialty. Everything from Sushi, Italian, Grill, and Wok. All the stations has some items ready or grabbing or you can order it and have it done fish. I had to had some help from my friends ordering since a lot of the kitchens aren't able to speak any English.The grill has some really awesome spare ribs. The seafood section even has a nice selection of fish and I had a couple of seared scallops. Even the desert station is nice. There's crepes and all kinds of cookies and cakes. Creme Brulee is made fresh on the spot. Like any typical buffet, they have the typical deep fried foods. Then there's the small kitchens that make food on demand. You are able to grab soda by the bottle or even the fountain. It's my first time having a bitter lime soda, which is basically a limeade soda from CocoaCola Company. ------ + Pro: One of the best buffets, definitely compete against the ones in Las Vegas! - Con: Little Pricey. \( ^,^)/ Overall: Great selection of any kind of food you want!

    Good food! Unfortunately the atmosphere is hectic, crowded and sometimes disturbing, not visiting…read morethis restaurant for a second time.

    Decent seafood restaurant situated right by the harbour with super fast service…read more I ordered the Vismix (€19.50), which was a platter of mixed fried seafood, including calamari, fish, mussels, and prawns. The seafood was good but somewhat standard quality. It came with some dipping sauces, which added some nice flavor. I came with a day tour group and it was clear they were catering to people from the tour by making sure the service was super fast - I got my food within literally a matter of a few minutes. The place is decorated in a traditional Dutch seafront town kind of vibe. It was busy when I went although I was able to get seated right away (and clearly service speed was not an issue as all). The staff are fairly friendly too. Overall, the main selling point for this place is the fast service speed, especially if you are here for a quick visit to Volendam as part of a tour. The food is also decent enough to warrant a visit.

    Service was terrible. The waitresses acted like they were being put out the entire meal! We started…read moreoff ordering our drinks immediately, hearing the special, and going with it. Easy breezy. I asked for water with our drinks and got immediate attitude. "Water comes with the wine." Ok, fair enough. Ask for a second glass of water, ugly face with a harrumph. Ask for the check, ugly face with more attitude. It's unfortunate. The atmosphere was noisy, and we were packed in like sardines. An absolute NON-favorite. And, oh yeah, the food? I'm a New Englander, so I'm going to say meh.
