Each dish was so skillfully prepared and incredibly seasoned with a diverse flavor profile. I forget how many courses we shared but I wanted more, not because I was hungry but because everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend! Also book a reservation because getting a walk-in isn't guaranteed. We got lucky and called before cycling over and were able to be seated right away.

During my stay in Utrecht I lived next door to "Jasmijn en ik", so when my parents came to visit…read moreand requested Asian food, this was the obvious choice. And we were not disappointed. The service was great. Super friendly, even when we spilled wine all over the place. The food isn't your traditional Chinese restaurant. The idea is more of Asian tapas. You order a couple of items per person and then you share everything. We ended up ordering literally A PAGE of the menu! We were delighted about the food. Everything was delicious and surprising! Hard to choose which one we liked best. Everyone was super happy, we had a perfect experience and I warmly recommend it. (You might want to check that, but I think they also do take away food.)

Asian fusion as they define themselves. Short menu but…read morereally well taken care of. Shiitake soup was just great and also the Ramen was excellent. Great big portion. They fell short on the cheek cake which is definitely not something it fits the Asian fusion piece. Great cocktails. My Japanese silk was very very tasty. Over all the service is nice but it is indeed quite slow. Not that I matter as I am a very chatty person but some of my friends were a bit annoyed. The ambience is cool with a very nice outside terrace for the non rainy day, an inner courtyard with fountain. Tables are really cramped up... and they do try to fit too many people on the same one but over all it is good, just book for an extra person and then you get there with one less :) it can be very very loud at moments. Not to pricey. Definitely a go again.

For our anniversary we wanted something relaxed and cozy but with good food and wine. We chose…read moreOpium for its asian menu and secluded inner garden. We ordered Asian Walk starter plate (€25,95) and a bottle of Marlborough Savignon Blanc (very crisp and mineral New Zealand white wine, approx. €31). It was a warm day and we are not big eaters so we thought it would be enough. And it was. Food looked beautiful and smelled delicious and the waiters were polite (maybe a little slow though). We started with the bread and duo of dips, followed by the tasting plate. Beijing duck and Bisque were stunning, shrimp and coconut soup were good and Vitello Tonato and Salmon cakes were average. The only problem I had is that restaurant poses itself as fusion ("restaurant where the Far East and West meet and several cultures join, inspired by all the beauty of Asia"), but west and east were not really incorporated together. You find a good asian food in Opium with sometimes out-of-place touches of european food. Read more on my blog http://www.nansypop.com/food/restaurant-opium/

Completely vegetarian Chinese food and it's cheaper than any "regular" Chinese place I've ever…read moreordered food from in the Netherlands. No worrying about whether or not that piece of "ham" was actual ham or tofu. No stress about finding a very meaty chunk of something in my sateh sauce. And no more wondering about mystery ingredients such as trassi or fish sauce possibly being used in my vegetarian dishes. Soy is just completely vegetarian and there's no mucking about, I love it. What could I love even more about vegetarian Chinese food? Well, besides already having a much wider range of dishes to choose from (over a hundred here as opposed to the same four dishes at any other Chinese of which two are noodles) they also add a lot of extra vegetables to their dishes at Soy. Which really helps to stretch an already reasonably priced take-out meal into a cheap dinner, breakfast and lunch because this food really fills you up. And let's be honest, we all know with Chinese food that we overeat, feel completely stuffed and don't understand how we'll ever eat again but then half an hour later suddenly have this massive hunger and wonder whether we've actually ever eaten any food before in our entire lives and then scoff down the leftovers like a rabid coyote. Well, suffice it to say I've never had that vicious overeating cycle with food from Soy. An added bonus: because I can eat everything here, I aim to try at least one new dish every time we come here. This is how I've discovered that I adore Koe-Loe-Yuk, which are little balls of "shredded meat", battered and fried and then served in a delicious sweet and sour sauce. So yummy and I definitely recommend that you try it too! To sum Soy up: -No worrying about meat or seafood showing up in my meal -Cheaper than it's non-vegetarian renditions -Actually a nutritious, delicious, wholesome and filling take out meal -In case you were wondering, yes, they're also vegan friendly And to close it off, my pro-tip: make sure you bring cash! No cards here but at least there's an ATM at about a five minute walk from Soy and it's totally worth the walk!

Yassss! I've been wanting to go here for such a long time! In the vegan community this place is…read morefamous for its delicious Chinese food and I heard so many people raving about this place online and after also hearing from my friend Rebekkah that is was awesome they went even higher on my wannogo list. Still it took me quite a while to go because it is 1. in Utrecht which is not around the corner, and 2. in is also not in the center of Utrecht so when I am there if often go to another place that is more located in the center of town. Last weekend we were actually on our way to another place but the event there got canceled so we decided to finally go to Soy, since we were by car anyway. That was a good choice! Almost all of their food is vegan, except for a few agg dishes. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself is quite small and it is mostly meant for take-away. There are stil about 5 tables though, so eating in is also fine. We ate some delicious food like vegan chicken with cashews, veggies and noodles, nasi rice with brown tofu and sauce and fried bananas. Sooo good! I understand now what all the fuss was about :)
