AN in De Weteringschans

Nice cozy place. It is located on the first floor of the building. The place is small but pleasant and cozy. They have a terrace that overlooks a beautiful garden. The menu is extensive and varied. There is even a choice of two set meals. I chose vegetable gyozas, seafood tempura, assorted sashimi, and chicken katsu. Everything was delicious. It reminded me of a grandmother's cooking, something well-cooked, that you might find in a home. I recommend a visit.

No sushi! Check first before coming in! Even if you want to order for your family different dishes for about 10 people..they do not take away!!! Not recommended, don't waste your time

try the black sesame ice cream it’s amazing

Wonderful cute undiscovered gem! Great service with very reasonable pricing!

They closed the kitchen over 1 hour earlier, than everywhere written!!!

We had a wonderful night there. Both the miso soup and sashimi were particularly delicious, so I highly recommend them. Unlike many Japanese restaurants in Europe, this restaurant is run by Japanese people, so you can sample authentic Japanese food.

To find truly authentic Japanese food outside of Japan is not an easy task. Things as simple as the type of rice can make an enormous difference. I honestly believe An is one of your best options in Europe. They use fresh ingredients, follow good recipes, and prefer a sober presentation, resulting in only delicious dishes, and always for a fair price. You cannot go wrong with An.

12/02/2025 Delicious food, fantastic dishes! Everyone was very friendly too. The hostess apologized for forgetting our reservation, but luckily we were able to get a seat anyway. We also got drinks on the house. In short, we absolutely enjoyed it and will definitely come back!

Authentic Japanese food in a homely atmosphere. We took the Omakase menu which was very delicious especially the salmon. The assorted tempura was also pretty good.

Amazing. Relaxed atmosphere great food, great service! I would suggest the 5 course or omakase menu.

Very unfortunate! No more nigiri or rolls ☹️ Unfortunately, my sake glass was no longer served with a masu box, which meant that much less sake was poured.

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam with amazing sushi (not covered in mayo like most Amsterdam spots), great omakase when you want to try multiple dishes, and delicious comforting miso soup! The biggest thing that needs improvement IMO is the lackluster atmosphere. It’s a cute restaurant but it’s like a really quiet living room, too quiet that guests are whispering to each other, and in general the setting feels quite sad and awkward. Some music could likely help.

Nice authentic Japanese restaurant, service is attentive and prompt. Food was fantastic for decent prices (especially for a dam)

Amazing and authentic japanese food- i had the 5 course sampling of fish meat vegetables etc and then side dishes aubergine miso and edamame and gyoza. Husband had broad choice of vegetarian food which is rare in japanese restaurants here. All was super. Fab service/waiter helpful tips etc. Lovely desserts eg black sesame ice cream. We will be back

It was like being welcomed in their living room and being served the most amazing food. Without a doubt will come here again. Cozy, delicious, wonderful

Super good food for a very reasonable price

A special dining address that has been a fixture in the city for a long time. Everything that comes to the table is prepared with great precision, using only the freshest ingredients. We ate the Omakase Menu and were surprised by the variety of aromas, textures and colors. The price-quality ratio is unbeatable. And the service is also of a rare quality (for Amsterdam)!

Very nice restaurant, delicious food & great service

Amazing food (I had the 5 course menu) and service, you really feel at a cozy Japonese restaurant. I will definitely come back again! 😀

Lovely restaurant with authentic Japanese food, especially loved the miso soup and the sashimi. The black sesame ice cream was to die for and the roasted green tea terrific. Will be coming back for sure :)

Been wanting to check this place out for a while, but food took 2.5 hours to arrive and they got the order partially wrong. Definitely not recommended.

Very delicious food nicely plated on unique ceramics in a comfortable dining room. Looking forward to our next visit.

Delicious food, the quality of the ingredients is very high and the dishes are excellent. In a city like Amsterdam, which is full of poor-quality restaurants and fast food, this place makes you want to eat out again and discover the culinary culture of other countries. The waiting times indeed reflect the quality of the dishes. Very kind staff and excellent prices. Well done!

Not inclusive people - very discriminatory

Really tasty vegetarian option. The silken tofu was especially nice

Delicious food: Scallop salad! , super Sashimi and the Gyoza's. The two of us shared an Omakase menu to taste, which wasn't bad, but choosing my own dishes is my preference.

The atmosphere and the service people were really good but the food was below our expectations. The taste was decent but not amazing. The quality of the sushi was not super good.

Typical Japanese cuisine, you feel at home, care is taken in the presentation and quality of the food. Friendly and helpful, a wonderful experience of real Japanese cuisine. Domo Arigato 🌸

Delicious Japanese food for a good price. I thought the tempura here was just as tasty as in Okura! Service a 3 because we had to wait a long time before we could order. I think that was incidental, so we would like to come back.

Delicious Japanese food. Simple dishes with great taste. Wonderful algae salads. Too bad we didn’t get to try the sushi as it was too late for our desired time (they told us in advance when making the reservation). We will come back for it!

Visited a Japanese restaurant recently and enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious, though the menu selection was limited, lacking options for sushi and sashimi due to staff shortages that evening. Despite this, the service was attentive, and the meal was enjoyable, especially the sesame ice cream—definitely a must-try!

Our rating is between 4 and 5 stars. The food tasted great, lots of choice and not standard sushi or ramen, price/quality ratio very good and service is excellent.

One of my favorite family owned restaurants in Amsterdam. Great authentic Japanese food and superb service and team! Keep on going back

The food is of amazing quality. The total experience of ingredients, taste and layout really made this a Japanese experience to enjoy!

Delicious food in a beautiful building, highly recommended

Oichidesu! Such delicious and well prepared Japanese food! This is my new favorite restaurant. I've been wanting to go for years and I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere is wonderful and the restaurant is filled with beautiful hand made ceramics. There is a simple but elegant Japanese mood and the staff is very friendly. It's also great for your vegetarian or vegan friends! Lots of delicious healthy options. I highly recommend the agadashi dofu and miso aubergine. But everything was beyond expectations.

Been coming here for years The only problem sometimes is the parking space, but for tasty Japanese food you take that for granted. At least for me, not an all you can eat sushi place.

Nice restaurant with tasty fresh food. Unique experience close to the city center. An address to recommend!

Friendly service and super tasty food. The sushi was fresh and of good quality

Restaurant AN is highly recommended. As you can see in the photo, delicious sushi and also very fresh. In addition to sushi, there are also many other delicious dishes! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and the service is very friendly. I will definitely visit again soon 😊

A very good address for quality Japanese dishes. The chirashi was delicious and the tuna maki was fresh. The service was impeccable and the decoration pretty. I will note the address and will come back if the opportunity arises!

Great place, great food. The ambiance is fantastic, calm, relaxing, with cosy space and great meals and drinks. Highly recommended.

Small and cute restaurant, nice and friendly stuff and really delicious Japanese food. Absolutely recommended

Cool little restaurant with very friendly staff. For the price, it was very good. If we had paid more, the nigiri would have been 4/5 I’d come here again. If you’re a foreigner, be advised, you’ll need cash

The flavours were excellent. The dashi used as their base provided for excellent dishes. Recommend their sea bass nanbanzuke. The balance of vinegar and sweetness was perfect. Sushi was excellent. A good measure of a japanese restaurant is the tamagoyaki (sushi omelette) and I was wanting more! They were busy but the service was excellent and friendly. A great meal.

The AN is truly a hidden gem that is easily overlooked or misjudged. This cozy Japanese restaurant offers wonderful Japanese home cooking. The sushi is fantastic but you also have to try the gyoza*****. Everything is really delicious and served lovingly. The service is very attentive and helps with every question imaginable. Last but not least, they serve exceptional sake. We simply love it.

One of the best Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam. Small, clean and good food. What else should ve I asked for?

Amazing food and service. Ambiance could use some better lighting.

My favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. Truly an oasis in the middle of the city. The food and service is always impeccable.

Likely the best japanese cuisine I've ever had in Europe. Also got free tap water which is much appreciated from students that need to be aware of budget :) Worth the price! They only accept certain types of cards, but the lady was kind enough to let us know ahead of time ans give us perfect directions to the ATM 3 minutes away. The Chirashi came with an excellent variety of various fish and pickled veggies. Very welcoming atmosphere.

Heerlijk gegeten. De bediening is super aardig en weet veel van de gerechten/achtergrond ervan. Sfeer is ongecompliceerd en gezellig. Leuke andere klanten.

In Love with everything ! Food amazing ! 💜💜💜💜

Traditional Japanese experience in Amsterdam! It is traditional and authentic family Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere and staff are really cosy and warm… the taste of the dishes are very good especially we loved salmon and tuna!! I really recommend salmon sashimi and tuna nigiri 👌🏻 the price is definitely worth and affordable for this amazing food! Everything was really good and service is great!

Exceptionally good food! We didn’t take any pictures as we were enjoying the food so much. Great atmosphere, lovely friendly hosts. Would recommend the omakase menu as it has a good selection of lots of dishes.

It was one of the best Japanese we had in Netherlands, very fresh sashimi, omakase is really good too, fair price and friendly owners! Super recommend

A wonderful gem tucked away on a busy Amsterdam street! This restaurant is in a cozy old building and serves wonderful home-style Japanese food, including dishes you don't often see. Everything is absolutely delicious and the staff are lovely. Can't recommend it enough.

The staff was very friendly and professional The food was wonderful and i loved the atmosphere

This place is amazing. We were able to get a last minute reservation here and we were so thrilled with the food and service! Sashimi was outstanding (scallop and mackerel), as was the gyoza, different kinds of seaweed salads, homemade pickles just to name a few. Definitely coming back here 👍🏼😝

The food and the service was good. We had Omakase (chef's menu), sushi and sashimi platter along with a Tofu starter. For the dessert we had pumpkin ice cream and red bean ice cream which were both home made. The lady explained us the dishes and was friendly.

Simpelweg het beste en leukste Japanse restaurant in Amsterdam, en misschien wel daarbuiten!

Verrukkelijk authentiek Japans eten met aardig personeel. Ik vind het een uniek restaurant in Amsterdam. Ik hoop dat ze voor altijd blijven. Bedankt!

Lovely family run Japanese place with great service and even better food. Classic homestyle Japanese dishes, perfectly executed. ごちそうさまでした。

Super authentic and cozy Japanese restaurant with very attentive and friendly service! Strongly recommended! All the food I’ve had has been perfectly cooked and seasoned, especially the gyoza is out of this world! The wait time between ordering and serving the food is impressively short. Must try hojicha (roasted matcha tea)! My longtime favorite! Decoration is very cozy and sweet. I love the china dishes & bowls on the walls! All and all, it’s becoming one of my fav Japanese joints in town!

Traditional japanese cuisine, highly recommend the eel sushi and miso soup. They have good tea and drink options, plum wine, sake and beer too. I didn't like the tempura, but the sushi , sashimi and meats were exquisite. A bit on the expensive side but depends really what you order.

Amazing taste and carefully prepared food, well-balanced taste 😄

It's okay, the beef was great but quite salty

Fine food, kitchen closes at 9, cash only.

Very high quality Japanese restaurant (best in Amsterdam). Great sushi, gyozas, chicken katsu, and homemade ice-cream. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy. Reserve in advance as there is limited space.

Visited on a friday evening. Make sure to book at least a week in advance as this restaurant is quite small and there's practically no walk in tables available as its very busy and everyone makes a reservation. we ordered the omakase menu, the mixed sashimi/seafood bowl, season special fish (i forgot which fish) tempura and a ice cream. The tempura was very nice. crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. My boyfriend had the sashimi bowl and he enjoyed it very well. I had the omakase and it was nice. The karage was fried really nicely and the side dishes were good. The only disaappinting bits were the salmon and the brocolli side. the broccoli was just boiled and maybe had some sesame oil on it; the salmon was VERY salty. Not sure if it was the salmon itself or the teriyaki sauce but it was VERY salty. I got the calpis ice cream and that was nice. tasted like calpis.

Wow, loves the food and service. Will come back here again!

I enjoyed genuine Japanese meal with reasonable price.
