湖南常德牛肉粉 in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Best spicy fish I have had in my whole European trip, enjoyed it very much. I would recommend to anyone who likes spicy food.

When we arrived, the restaurant was empty (0 customers). Before we ordered, we asked to see the bowl size, and the person didn’t show us. We ordered the spicy braised beef noodle soup and the chicken noodle soup, which were €19 each. To be fair, the broth tasted good and was the best part of the meal. However, for €19 a bowl, we expected a much more substantial portion. The bowls were mostly broth. Both dishes had very little meat and barely any vegetables, despite these being advertised as part of the dishes. The beef noodles were especially disappointing because some of the beef pieces were also quite fatty. We had only eaten around 25% of the bowl when we brought this up and politely asked if we could have a few additional pieces of meat. The staff member refused and responded quite rudely, explaining that everything is expensive and even mentioning that using the bathroom costs €2. He later told us, when we were leaving after paying, “Next time, I recommend you say something before you eat.” However, because these are noodle soups served in broth, it’s genuinely difficult to tell how much meat is actually in the bowl when you first receive it. You have to start eating and go through the noodles and broth to properly see what you’re getting. We raised the issue as soon as we realized how little meat there was. €19 for a bowl of noodles is not cheap. We don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a decent amount of meat and vegetables, especially when they are part of the advertised dish. The broth was genuinely tasty, but unfortunately, the lack of meat and vegetables, the greasiness, and especially the way our concern was handled made the experience very disappointing. For €19 per bowl, we expected much better. Very inhospitable.

Extremely salty, and the noodles break easily. At €19 a bowl, it feels like it will take several days to metabolize all that salt… I wouldn't recommend it.

🇬🇧 Menu below 🇹🇼 🇩🇪 Special menu under 🇳🇱 Menu online I came here once two and a half years ago, and again last week. The food is delicious, but the pickled fish got a bit too salty towards the end. The spicy beef noodles are still delicious! This time I asked the staff for chili oil and chili peppers, and they gave me a salty and spicy sauce... The one I had before was really good.

The place has a great view to the dam from the 2nd floor. Not stroller friendly.

The place is unassuming from the outside but the food is great and the service is quick as well as pleasant. If you're a tourist, this is a place to go unlike other places that can be tourist traps

Really great vegetarian options! We got fried Spring rolls and a bowl fried Tofu. The tofu was GREAT. It was super fluffy and crunchy. The staff were kind and had efficient service. I’ll definitely be back!

The restaurant was ok the toilets were not that clean

I saw a recommendation for this place on an app, and my friend and I went in excitedly. When the food arrived, putting aside whether it tasted good or not, the duck blood I added to the beef noodles was cold—yes, the soup was hot, but the duck blood was cold, and there were only two pitiful slices. As for the taste, it was bland and tasteless, just plain water. Even the peppercorns were shriveled and closed up. It was obvious it had been sitting out for a long time. If the restaurant wants to argue, then how can you make noodles so delicate that they crumble at the slightest touch of chopsticks? How long did it take to cook? Or was it kept in the refrigerator for a long time? My goodness, this was truly an unforgettable experience!

The server probably had a bad day, but it’s not something I should have to deal with.

I went at lunchtime; it wasn't crowded and was very quiet. I ordered boiled beef and spicy and sour fish in golden broth. The food came out quickly and was delicious and flavorful. Two to three dishes were just right for two people.

My wife vomited three times after eating here. If food hygiene can't be guaranteed, nothing else matters.

Delicious! Super delicious! I ate here once last year when I had a cold, and the owner even gave me medicine. The noodles are delicious, and the owner is very nice. I have to eat here every time I come to ams.

It was so mediocre, I'm outta here! The noodles were just dried rice noodles soaked in water, the tripe was sour, and the beef was okay, nothing special. Considering the outrageous price, I'd better eat something else. Avoid at all costs, as someone from Hunan, this place is truly a dishonor to our famous rice noodles.

My first soup was awful. Way too spicy and incredibly greasy. I could barely enjoy it. ☹️

I ordered braised beef rice noodles and spicy beef rice noodles, and both were delicious. The portions were generous, and the dish was a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. The ingredients were high-quality, with large chunks of beef cooked to perfection—tender yet chewy. The side dishes were incredibly layered: the crispy fried egg, the crunchy bean sprouts, and the fragrant peanuts blended perfectly with the rich, spicy broth. The glossy red oil was visually appealing, making it a truly comforting and satisfying meal.

Anyone who gives this more than one star is incomprehensible; our food was cold and tasteless, and broken dishes were included.

The ramen was not that good and the bathroom was really gross and sticky, and there was no paper nor soup, disgusting really. Overpriced for what is worth, its just a good location.

The food was a 10/10. Amazing!!! I went with a Chinese friend of mine and she enjoyed it as well. That says a lot about the food, cause Chinese restaurants in Amsterdam are usually very mid

Terrible attitude, very rude. All fat, no beef. The waiter even will hit you. Unbelievable! Bad experience in Amsterdam, and horrible Chinese waiter.

I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the beef noodles. However, the restaurant should hire more staff, as the wait can be a bit longer when it's busy.

The food was unhygienic, tasting like it had been treated with some kind of high-tech additives and harmful substances; it had a strong additive flavor. I had assumed European food would be healthy and hygienic, but I was wrong – the food was still unhealthy and stale. I had diarrhea six times that night after eating there. The service was also terrible; there was no warmth or helpfulness typical of overseas Chinese. They got angry if I didn't order enough from the menu. This was the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten at in Europe. Furthermore, the male waiter was extremely rude, ignoring me when I asked questions, with an attitude of "take it or leave it." Even now, thinking about it makes me feel disgusted by that person. The food was not hygienic at all. It tasted like it had been added with technology and some tough stuff, with a strong smell of additives. I originally thought that food in Europe was healthy and hygienic, but I didn't expect it to still be so unhealthy and not fresh. Moreover, the attitude of the waiters was very bad. There was no enthusiasm of overseas Chinese to help each other at all. When they saw that they less ordered on the menu, they would lose their face. This is the worst and most awful Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at in Europe. Moreover, that male waiter had an extremely bad attitude. When asked, he would respond indifferently, looking as if you wanted to eat or not. Even now, when I think about it, I still feel really disgusted to have met such a person.

I highly recommend the braised beef noodles! I was so glad I found this noodle shop after eating Western food for several days during my European trip. I was also delighted to meet a friendly Cantonese-speaking staff member.

The noodles are very bad. There is no taste. The ingredients used are not fresh at all, difficult to eat, and the environment is very hygienic. Please don't come here, otherwise you will feel nauseous and uncomfortable. This is an extremely bad experience. Please avoid this restaurant. It is extremely bad and very unhealthy food.

Food was overcooked and the sauce super syrupy. Fine for late night and perhaps what sells but not great. There was a more traditional menu next to what was likely the tourist menu I ordered from so shame on me for not trying more traditional. Service was great, kind and efficient. Atmosphere was fine.

A European student ate this and was so moved she almost cried 😭 The portion was huge, she was so full, so happy!

Delicious meal with plum wine. Cozy and quiet. Highly recommend

Be careful with the spice, it's no joke here :)

This is absolutely outrageous! We had just sat down when the middle-aged waitress came over and asked, "How dare you two sit here?" It sounded like she was implying we were sitting at a large table. What the heck?! Is that even possible? She acted like she was crazy. Then, as she left, she gave us a dirty look—I'm absolutely certain I didn't misread it. So we just left. It's utterly incomprehensible. I don't know how the food was, but this waitress's behavior was incredibly poor and extremely offensive. I hope she's fired as soon as possible; please, everyone, don't come to this restaurant!

The waitress in the restaurant is a slut. With few customers and plenty of space, we chose to sit at a four-person table by the window. This woman immediately came over and berated us for sitting there, giving me a huge eye roll. Did something terrible happen to her family that made her so upset that she had to lash out at us tourists without even asking what happened? Does she think she's superior just because she's doing business overseas? Even more ridiculous, after that eye roll, she avoided eye contact with us at our table. She's all talk and no action! This woman will only ever be a lowly restaurant server, and with her around, the restaurant will go out of business sooner or later.

A no go. Watery soup and the 5€ tea which presentation leaves a lot to be desired.. Good I haven’t order more.

The food here was very good and we enjoyed the meal. The bathroom was absolutely horrid. There was no soap. The floor was sticky and it looked like a public toilet inside the building. We enjoyed the duck and the noodles. I would not recommend the spring rolls they were flat and didn’t really have much in them.

The service attitude was not good. She said, "I can't recommend any dishes. Every dish is very popular. I'm very busy." If it weren't for my colleague wanting to come and eat, I would have left long ago... .The rice noodle is spicy and nice. The floor of the toilet is very sticky. I really can’t stand it!

The taste is good, but it's a bit pricey.

The food was not good at all for this price. In Tom Yam soup there were only 2 shrimps and only soup liquid. No good flavor, just spicy water. And food smelled also very badly. We didn’t finish our food and payed 75€.

I do not recommend the food, it stinks and is not good, avoid it at all costs

Everything was easy. The staff was able to accommodate a large group that suddenly appeared. Thanks so much for resolving all our issues, even though we spoke different languages.

The Young man serving us was very polite and spoke perfect english. Food was great. can recommend this restaurant to anyone . Only minus is not much rice options , no egg fried rice

I wouldn't recommend eating at this Thai restaurant if it wasn't made by Thai people. I was craving a spicy, flavorful soup, but was extremely disappointed. Even my foreign friend said it wasn't good. This wasn't Tom Yum; there wasn't a single chili pepper in the soup. The taste was terrible. The food I ordered was incomplete, and when paying, they included items I didn't order and made me pay for them. It took a long time to resolve the issue before they finally refunded my money.

This yakisoba was very good, I liked it!

Staff were very rude would not dine here again. Extremely arrogant and entitled management.

This restaurant's food is very authentic. Their Mala Beef Tastes really good!!! Must try it

Literally no service. Staff dgaf. Food is pretty mid noodles overcooked. Asked for vinegar they said they had none

Came here twice during our 3 day stay in Amsterdam. Food is great and served fast

It's delicious! The most authentic rice noodles I've had in Europe. I recommend the spicy beef noodles; they're not very spicy, but the flavor is amazing.

Ngl had low expectations of asian food in Amsterdam but it was so good i had to come twice during my 2 day stay.

Authentic Hunan beef rice noodles, generous portions. I recommend the spicy beef rice noodles. The environment and location are excellent.

Terrible experience at the restaurant, I got the rice served which smelled like unwashed kitchen cloth. I asked the waiter if he can exchange to another bowl of rice for me, all I got was a cold face/non-caring attitude: no we don’t do this here. What a joke and terrible customer experience

The food was decent and tasty; we had pickled fish.

The fish in 酸菜鱼 was very flavourful. Unfortunately, the tofu was sour. The braised beef noodle was very authentic. The iced lemon tea was little pale.

The food was unfortunately very bad and didn't meet our expectations. The service was also very slow. We paid €80 for a normal lunch (two dishes and two teas)... I wouldn't recommend it.

The rice noodles weren't chewy, and none of them were more than 3 centimeters long. I asked if they were overcooked, since Hunan rice noodles shouldn't be like that. The waiter politely replied that they've always been like that...

Reasonable price and great taste 😋

Avoid this place!!! The portions are getting smaller and smaller! I've been here several times. At first, the beef noodles were a pretty big bowl, but now it's only half full! They charge extra but reduce the portion... The braised pork rice only has two bites of rice, and it's 16 euros?! I thought there was a truly authentic rice noodle shop, but they've driven all their customers away. Good luck, it's gone now.

The waiter was nice, however the wait was a bit too long and the food too expensive…

Very slow, and the food leaves much to be desired. Overall, it doesn't seem clean.

That might be the worst dining experience ever. Food was TERRIBLE! 4 adults and all of us barely touched the food! Disgusting. Forgot 1 of 4 main dishes. Ordered seaweed salad and they brought us a pile of lettuce with a thought of seaweed on top. Plus the WC was gross. Grease all over the place,could had easily slipped in there. Terrible experience.

That's completely contrary to Turkish culture.

Food was great. The Quality of the ingredients, the portion, price, we really liked It. Inside Is very quiet, practically noise free which gives a break from The noisy outside.

Was there last Saturday, asked for a vegetarian pad thai, brought with chicken. The waiter even asked before if I eat eggs, to which I said yes. My friends food was very oily and I found some egg shells in my food, so I guess they gave me a whole chicken to eat 😅. Bathrooms handle was coming off and the floor of the bathroom was so oily haha. Anyways, I see that the place has good reviews, so I guess it was just that day that the food wasn’t the best. Best of luck!

Brought out the wrong order food after everybody else had finished . Then brought the second order out wrong . Then brought a curry sauce out 10 mins after we’d finally had our food . Food was bland and tasteless. Avoid . And the staff were rude .

Very tasty and the portions are huge.

I came to eat ramen, I waited for it for an hour and twenty, the waiters are bad, they shout, you can't go here.

I want to make my own braised beef and offal now! I definitely have a Chinese stomach.

A really solid Asian restaurant. We were there for lunch; it was quite busy, but the service was still quick and satisfactory. The food was authentic and tasty. Prices were quite high for Amsterdam. I would go again.

It's accessed via stairs from the main street. It has a modest atmosphere, only one waiter, and the service is fast. And the food is AMAZING!! We had shrimp pad thai and spicy fish. The fish portion was especially large. Two people were completely full from just the two. If you like East Asian cuisine, you absolutely must visit! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

If you're thinking of going to this place because of all the good reviews, then please reconsider! This place shouldn't be this highly reviewed in the first place. It's too expensive for the quality of food. They have Chinese, Thai, and Japanese cuisine. I ordered some Thai (Tom Khan soup, and Thai Red Curry) and Japanese (Takoyaki and Crispy Chicken) food. The Thai food didn't taste like any Thai food I've had before, and the Japanese food was just not good. It's probably the worst Takoyaki and Crispy Chicken I've ever had. I have no clue if the Chinese food is good, but if it's anything like the food I had, I don't have much hope.

It tastes awful, not recommended at all, and outrageously expensive.

The staff does not allow you to take water, tea or drinks from outside, probably to force you to pay for their expensive drinks and take more money from customers. Thats very sad practices.

Walked into this restaurant hoping for some rest and good food. Sat down and realized I couldn’t eat anything because I’m allergic to shellfish and peanuts tried leaving but they charged us for sitting down and going to the bathroom. Staff rude and intolerant.

Premium food prices for normal food quality. Service was more interested in doing Duolinge instead of doing his job...

The food is authentic and delicious, good service, quiet and spacious space, the price is fair for the location.

their braised beef noddles are amazing, super tender beef and delicious savoury broth

The Chinese food was average at best in my opinion. The Thai food was just oily and without flavor. No condiments on the table. I would not return. The waiter was present, that’s as much credit as I can give.

spicy beef rice noodles is authentic, but not spicy enough, anyway, worth to taste again

Better than FuLu. Food came super fast. Absolutely delicious

Pre-made food, and they don't even provide tap water?

Delicious and inexpensive, with authentic flavor, and the owner is very welcoming. Highly recommended!

Both the beef noodles and vegetables were a little oily, but the meat was plentiful and delicious.

Very good and fast service, very pleasant atmosphere, and the food was delicious and the portions were generous. We recommend the chicken basil and the ramen A.

This is my go-to late-night eatery. It stays open very late, and I come here whenever I crave spicy food. The taste is authentic; I always order the spiciest, and ask the owner for extra chili peppers. The beef is stewed until tender and doesn't get stuck in your teeth. The owner is also very honest and kind. 👍

Good food but quite pricey foe the prese tation and atmosphere for my taste.

Been craving for 水煮鱼. This is a typical low key Chinese restaurant that is oversaw and underrated. Amazing food (ofc authentic coz laoban is Chinese), crazy portioning. Had to pack to go home, satisfied and delicious.

very tasty! And the service is 5 stars!

A Chinese male waiter had an extremely rude attitude!! In the summer, when it was very hot, I asked him if he could turn on the air conditioning, and he not only rolled his eyes but also replied rudely that he couldn't, saying it wasn't hot enough. Did he expect people to die of heat before he'd turn it on? The food has also gotten worse and worse, and the prices have gone up. The pork tripe and chicken rice that was previously available is gone. The noodles were delivered broken into pieces, only three or four centimeters long. Very poor service 👎

Food here is as authentic as it could be. I had sichuan spicy and it was great. Top notch service. Only downside is the toilet and its condition..

Taiwanese people commented that the spicy beef noodles were quite delicious, but the soup wasn't hot enough and not spicy enough. It was spicy and the meat was tender. Coco is next door, so you can go there and have some with it.

Best Chinese noodle soup I had in Amsterdam, definitely would recommend!

It was very unpalatable, the soup base was full of MSG, and we even found some pink unknown substance in the rice noodles... Not recommended!

It was so delicious. A family of three ordered a spicy beef noodle dish and a golden soup boiled fish (with rice). We were very full and the boiled fish came with a lot of vegetables. Highly recommended

Absolutely to be avoided, if you don't want to end up in the hospital!

We ordered food to take away, but the lady was disrespectful and extremely rude towards us. She told us we only needed to wait 5 minutes, but after 10 minutes, when we checked with her, she said the food was not cooked yet and that we had to wait longer. She also told us to step aside so she could get chopsticks, and her attitude was unpleasant. This was probably because she was upset about an argument with her colleague. We would never come to this place ever again no matter how good the food is.

General alert: this place is absolutely not a restaurant. The food was not good, not fresh, and was quickly reheated in the microwave. The service was deplorable. We are deeply disappointed to have been in this tourist trap, which is super expensive. Do not go there, even if you are starving.

The spicy beef noodles were amazing! The broth was rich and spicy, with just the right amount of spiciness. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were springy. The location was convenient, the service was attentive, and the overall experience was incredibly satisfying. Definitely worth a try!

A small restaurant hidden at the busiest tourist section that's perfect for whoever's feeling like noodle soup in Amsterdam's chilly days. Red Braised Rice Noodle is nicely seasoned, reasonably portioned (if you consider the location). Note that the noodles are on the softer side so maybe not for everyone.

Was okay and quite expensive for a small portion of food and food was not tasty in comparison with the other asian restaurant nearby.

Spicy beef noodles, the meat is tender and chunky, the noodles are delicious and the soup is tasty, highly recommended ^_^

Spicy enough to make you cry, but delicious

Ugh, the toilet's gross, and the tap's busted. The whole place hasn't been cleaned in ages. Sticky tables, and the waiter's totally checked out.
