China Sichuan Restaurant / Chengdu in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Love this place, amazing staff, delicious sichuan food & chinese tea and cozy atmosphere!!

Great presentation, starting with a unique menu that made it easy to visualize what was available! The food was delicious, with a great selection of Chinese dishes. The place was very packed when we arrived!

My friend and I both had food poisoning and a terrible stomach ache after eating here. Do NOT go no matter how hungry you feel, search somewhere else!!!

Amazing atmosphere, good service and the food is the best part, very tasty and presentation are very nice also portoin of food is more than enough for 1 person

Best Chinese food in Amsterdam .food is so good ,had tried so many palaces for authentic Chinese taste this one is our favourite .

It's a noodle dish I really love... but it was so salty I couldn't even eat it ㅠㅠ I was full after drinking beer, but since I love stir-fried noodles so much, I went in specifically to try it. Did I expect too much...? It was the most salty dish I've ever tasted in my life...

Great Chinese Sichuan traditional food Excellent quality and service! Very well decorated

Wonderful waitress from Tibet and awesome serving size

This is probably the best place when you can get the most amazing Chinese food. I’ve been a couple of times and it never disappoints me! Savory, plentiful dishes, so many options to choose from! We also wanted to plan a cute surprise for our friend’s birthday and the staff was very helpful! They kept the cake for us and brought it to the table and let us hide her gift. It was a special night thanks to them full of great memories, delicious food and a very kind staff! We are also very grateful for let us have our friend’s dog in the restaurant. I recommend it for its tasty dishes, the great environment and the dedicated service!

Great and authentic Chinese food. Very yummy.

Delicious food and incredibly friendly staff.

We randomly stopped here as we wanted something different. The food was really fresh and made to order m. The cashew chicken was really nice as a “no heat “ option, the variety of dumplings was also very good. Also had the garlic green beens which was very tasty. Overall we really enjoyed it here.

Our family loves the Sichuan Chengdu restaurants. Such Michelin star worthy food in such a touristy place for such affordable prices is really surprising. The food is so fresh, healthy, original and delicious. It is not just a joy to taste and eat but we also feel it strengthens our health and vitality after the meal. Favourites this time were the Pokchoi and garlic, crispy pork and mixed dumplings. The menu's are a work of art. Beautiful pictures and poetic proze. If you don't like spicy, there is more than enough choice and the menus tell you how spicy each dish is. This seriously is my favourite restaurant in the world.

We waited over 45-50 min for our dish, my beef noddle soup consisted of pure fat liquid and the other tofu dish was bland without seasoning or taste… disappointing.

Get the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup! It's fantastic! (Not too spicy by UK standards)

I recently traveled to Amsterdam and sampled various authentic Dutch and former colonial Indonesian dishes. However, as the saying goes, "No rice makes one thin, no bamboo makes one vulgar." Two online influencers had recommended this restaurant, so I headed straight to Chengdu, Sichuan, on my first night in Amsterdam. Luckily, there was no wait, and I was seated immediately. I ordered boiled beef, Mapo tofu, and white rice for two. The dishes arrived quickly. Four words: spicy and authentic! It was so delicious, I asked for more rice! When paying, I asked the cashier, and he was indeed a genuine Chengdu local—no wonder it was so authentic! Several days later, the memory lingered, and I decided to go back! That night, it was incredibly crowded. As soon as I sat down, customers who arrived later could only sigh and look on with disappointment, having to find another place. I ordered shredded pork with garlic sauce and sweet and sour pork loin, plus white rice. The dishes weren't as spicy as last time, but they were still very enjoyable. My neighbor from London told me while paying the bill that there's no Sichuan restaurant this authentic in London! If you're a big eater like me and happen to be traveling to Amsterdam, I highly recommend trying this place.

This was an ok-ok restaurant. The service is so fast that when I placed an order within 5 mins my food is here. But, the menu had mold on it and was very hard to navigate.

Very yummy food!!! Fast service. Everything was really wonderful 😁😁😁 But the food is quite spicy. Even If its Just one Chili.

Superb culinary experience. I highly recommend it: I have never eaten such good crispy pork or such a delicious lamb recipe.

Food is super authentic! It has the most authentic dishes for sharing (And portion is big!), you can also order 1 person set, 2 pax set, 4 pax set etc. Highly recommend if you want to have a really nice Chinese food! Whats even better, the price is very reasonable ☺😇. I'll definately come back again if i visit Amsterdan again

Huh. Go figure. In the heart of Amsterdam there's a legit Sichuan place. I ordered my usual "ants climbing tree" and it was perfect. They used the thinner glass vermicelli but the wok-hei was phenomenal.

So good! I want to come back to try all the dishes

Favourite Chinese food in Amsterdam. Cozy atmosphere, great meals and generous portions. Always leaving satisfied from this place.

Every time I travel to Europe, I always crave Chinese food. Chengdu, Sichuan, is a great place, and their spicy chicken is very authentic and satisfies my appetite. I went there for two consecutive days. The service staff were very friendly, and the prices were reasonable.

Very true and authentic place. Original Sichuan cuisine.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. First and foremost, the food was not very tasty because it was extremely spicy. While the food was good, it was way too spicy for my taste. The workers were friendly and helpful, but they should have informed us about the menu more thoroughly. For instance, when I ordered two bowls of rice, they put them into one bowl. The place was nice, but the food was the main issue. The sweet and sour duck was delicious, but the other dishes, like the Mongolian beef, were more chili peppers and onions than beef, which was too crunchy and not as flavorful.

The ambience and service was good, but the food was not fresh. We ordered spareribs and mangolean beef with pork fried rice. The spare ribs felt like the meat was not fresh enough, and the dried chillies that were there in both the dishes tasted old. The rice was fairly fine but not served hot. We spend almost 80 euros for all of this. Really disappointing 👎🏼

This is an incredibly delicious Chinese restaurant. The flavors are authentically Chinese and rich. I ate there two days in a row and tried three different dishes, and all three were delicious. Highly recommend!

Pretty Good Chinese Sichuan meals.

Everything very 😋 very delicious

Shows open until 12 at night on Google map, but when entered at about ten and a half pm, clerk claimed that it’s off already. If not gonna receive customer that late, change your info, shame on this restaurant.

Having tried many Chinese restaurants, this one really stands out for its intense level of spiciness, easily the spiciest I’ve experienced Be prepared, it can leave your tongue numb, portions are very generous, and while prices are slightly on the higher side, the quality and experience justify it. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance with distinctive Asian decor. Clean facilities (including the restroom), friendly staff, and a nice touch with complimentary candy after the meal, which is surprisingly helpful. Highly recommended, especially for spice lovers.

Had stir-fried vegetables, pork and noodles. Excellent service. Owners we great. Pleasant visit.

I really liked the service) fast and high-quality))) food 10 stars) thank you very much to the chef))) everything was delicious and satisfying)))

Very authentic, very delicious.👍👍

The food was delicious. And the service was really very friendly.

The food was great. Luckily, the menu had pictures. However, given the selection, it could also be overwhelming. The entrance door doesn't close properly – there can be a draft when you're sitting there.

Pre-cooked food, it has absolutely no meaty texture. I don't recommend it; it's manufactured meat and doesn't taste good at all. Avoid this place as it's also a bit pricey.

This place was so good when it opened. But after awhile the portion shrank a lot but still ok

Incredible place Super nice staff Great vegan options

The food itself isn’t bad, but the overall cleanliness of the place is disappointing and off-putting. If I had noticed the condition of the kitchen door before ordering, I would have left immediately

They really know how to cook there... A centrally located Chinese restaurant where you can eat deliciously, quickly, and relatively inexpensively. Highly recommended!

The food was good, not amazing. The meat dish was served 10 .minutes before we received the rice, so it was getting cold. The sweet and sour chicken dish was very good. The service was not great, impatient waitresses and cramped seating area.

We have tried a lot of chinese food abroad but no one has been as good as here, it tastes just like real chinese food, it's the best we've had out of china. We really love it, is very spicy and tasty.

If you want tasty China food it’s good option. The stuffs are helpful and recommend to make a good choice. Food Was very tasty.

A True Hidden Gem in Amsterdam Chinatown If you are looking for authentic, bold flavors in Amsterdam, China Sichuan is an absolute must. We loved this place so much that we visited twice in four nights—and it still wasn’t enough! Every dish we tried was incredible, but a few standouts are non-negotiable: Fried Rice: Honestly divine. It’s the perfect foundation for the meal. Kung Pao Chicken: Perfectly balanced with that signature Sichuan peppercorn kick. Beef Jerky: A unique and flavorful highlight—highly recommended if you want something with a bit of texture and deep spice. The restaurant is cozy (small and always bustling), which usually means a long wait. However, the service was impeccable. The staff did everything humanly possible to seat us both times, making us feel genuinely welcome despite the rush.

Excellent authentic Chinese food. We ordered xiao long bao, kung pao eggplant, rice, and Peking duck (delicious!). Friendly and professional service and a great location. Highly recommended!

Classic Chinese. Good food, fast service, solid prices.

Good atmosphere and food tasted good but food was way too oily. I still feel weird in my throat!

It feels amazing that we get to enjoy delicious, authentic Sichuan cuisine in a city so far from Asia. Yummy!

We visited this restaurant twice a day, for both lunch and dinner. Crave spicy food during our 30-day frozen Europe trip, and this restaurant is definitely the answer to everything! Remember to order the garlic pork belly, spicy chicken, a bowl of white dishes, and beer—so refreshing! P.S. It could be spicier, even more flavorful! 🤗

Since the kitchen is open late at night, when you need a late-night snack!!

Authentic flavours, in a nice environment with lightning fast service.

Sabor surpreendente! Great options for vegetarians and vegans! Also amazing fried noodles (both taste and quantity)!

Portions were small, the ribs tasted like the ready-made ones from Aldi. The fried chicken with vegetables was tasty.

It tastes great and authentic! And the spiciness is really satisfying!

Everything is delicious and authentic. If you like spicy food, it's highly recommended. Favorite dish: stewed eggplant.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The service is impeccable, with a fairly wide selection. The dishes are refined and offer an exceptional culinary journey. However, be careful with the spices ☺️ Overall, a very good discovery, though the drinks are a bit expensive (€8 for a bottle of water).

One the best Chinese restaurants they serve fast and fresh 👍🏼 do not hesitate just go

The service was okay, the rest not much so... I would not recommend it, especially for hungry tourists.

Loved the chongqing spicy chilli chicken 🌶️

Recommend best Chinese food around street

A very nice place with friendly service and quite good food. I expected it to be spicy, as it's Sichuan, but it was medium spicy. The portions were quite generous, although the soup, for 8 euros, could have been larger and spicier. Despite all this, the place is worth recommending.

Every dish tasted unique unlike the 'europeanized' Asian food that most places serve.

Amazing experience, very authentic, the green chicken is honestly the best

A great, little and modest place with excellent food and friendly staff! We were surprised by the great quality and taste of the food. We ordered 3 different types of meat and spicy cucumber salad and all were 10/10. Also, please tey the chineese beer! :)

Very greasy and oily, doesn’t feel hygienic at all, the menu is molded

Asian restaurant. A very good atmosphere, fast and friendly service. I definitely recommend it.

The food was very good, but to few vegetarian options.

Excellent food, a variety of Chinese Sichuan and Tibettan dishes, all well prepared. Many of the dishes are spicy. The set menus provide good value. Good variety of vegetarian dishes, and a vegetarian menu where you can choose of any of the vegetarian dishes. Among my favourites are omelette soup, veggie hotpot (🌶️🔥), palace green beans, and kung pao eggplant. Careful, they don’t do take-out when it is busy, call in advance

Huge selection of authentic dishes, incredibly delicious. The dumplings and tofu were the best I've ever eaten.

The food itself was fine. But everything in central Amsterdam is expensive. We thought it could have been spicier.

We first noticed the beautiful Tibetan Thangka decoration while strolling in the evening, and decided to come back the next afternoon after finding the place on Google Maps. We had such a lovely lunch here ❤️! The service was warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. If you love Asian food and enjoy a good spicy kick 🌶️, this is definitely a must-visit. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you 🙏🏻

The dishes prepared were too salty for my taste, I had dinner in the evening, during the night I drank a lot of water

We had dinner in this restaurant. The food ordered is full of flavours and so authentic from its origin, not to mention the lovely service we got.

There are three Sichuan restaurants nearby. I chose one of them and ordered pepper chicken, fish-flavored eggplant, and pepper chicken. The taste was very authentic. The service attitude of the male waiter was indeed a bit unfriendly. I may not come back again.

Mapu tofu priced around 22 euros is a joke and a half.. Its extreme prices for Amsterdam I understand, but its small portions as well. Ordered three dishes, majority of them were peppers and onions, 30% of the dish was actuall edible foods.

Honestly horrible experience. The dishes were all very overpriced. Average 20€ to 30€ for a dish and half of the dish is dried chili, chili and onions etc. the sour spicy beef soup tastes very weird and chemical. I hope we won't have food intoxication after this. The 2 servings of rice is more like 1. The biggest joke is the service : they just drop the dishes on your desk and walk away without saying anything, when I asked for tap water the waitress actually replied that they didn't have any. 🤣 It's not authentic at all, please don't have high expectations of it. Total tourist trap.

Very ruud and bad chinese man ever at amsterdam. Scammer chinese restaurant, in menu tab heineken beer but he will give you in tin which normally below 2 euro in supermarket. Even juice in small bottle will charging you very expensive. I try asking why not in tab beer? He not happy and agressive to force you to drink and pay. Dutch authority should keep in eyes to this restaurant and making more checking...

We were given 3 novels they called ‘menus’ for a table of eight, all of which were very difficult to navigate. The pictures of the food is probably bigger than the real portion you actually get. The service was poor. It took a long time for the waiter to come to our table to ask us what we wanted to eat, and didn’t seem bothered when we called one of them over. The food was wayyy too expensive for what it was. I could have went to a chinese takeaway and gotten it for half the price, but regardless the food wasn’t even that great, lacked flavour. 9.5€ for 6 tiny spring rolls…? The food came and it was nothing like the picture, we thought we had gotten the wrong order. We were seated at a table with a bright white light shining into our faces, it strained my eyes and totally ruined the atmosphere of the place.

The taste is quite good, the price is a little high but the portion is large, I will visit again

Fourth time at this wonderful little restaurant. Lovely decor, lots of Asian guests, and honest advice about the dishes. I feel like I'm back in China; what wonderfully intense flavors. The lamb is wonderfully tender and deliciously seasoned. I'll definitely be back. Tip: ask for more information about the dishes on the menu!

This place is a must try, my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam

THE WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EVER Allergy information is a joke - at least for the staff in this restaurant. In theory, the menu contains information about allergens, but it turns out that this information is incorrect - and according to the staff, it is the customer's fault if they trust it. I have a severe allergy to gluten and dairy products, so I was pleased to see allergen information on the menu. Unfortunately, after eating one of the dishes, I started to feel unwell and asked the staff if the dish was definitely wheat-free. It turned out that the dish contained large amounts of wheat and the information on the menu was false - and the staff knew this very well. The staff asked me if I had an allergy, which I've confirmed - but they weren’t bothered by my answer. And according to the waitress, it was my own fault because I assumed that what was on the menu was correct. The whole situation is absurd, and the attitude towards the customer is shocking and unacceptable. Especially since this is directly misleading to the customer. Allergies are a serious matter. Someone could end up in hospital - but clearly it's not a serious matter for the staff at this restaurant, since they are blatantly lying about it on the menu and just don't care at all. As a result, I paid for the dish, after which I got a fever, felt terrible the next day, and still - two days later - have not recovered. I have eaten at many restaurants around the world and have never before experienced such a dismissive attitude. I will never go back there again.

The food was genuinely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The prices on the menu seemed reasonable, and overall we enjoyed the taste and atmosphere. However, I had a disappointing experience when it came to the bill. I ordered the “menu for two” listed at around €35. When the bill came, I was charged €82. I asked the waiter why, and he replied quite bluntly: “No, you pay x2 because two people were eating.” When I pointed out that the menu clearly said “for two – €35”, he simply said: “Yes, but you ate as two people.” And when I said, “I thought €35 was already for both,” his response was: “No, that’s not possible.” Maybe it was a misunderstanding, but it felt like important information was intentionally not mentioned upfront. If the listed price isn’t actually for two people, it should be made very clear when ordering. Instead of paying around €37, I ended up with a bill for €82

It was a heaven for spicy food lovers. I’ve tried maoxuewang, xiaolongbao, cold vermicelli, mouth-watering chicken, the portions were generous. Very satisfying dinner😋

Really delicious food and a good portion as well

Most recommended Tibetan and Chinese restaurants in the heart of Amsterdam, foods are very delicious and traditional, it’s located just few blocks away from the very famous museum (Wax Museum) Madame Tussauds in the Centraal Station of Amsterdam! Thank you for your warm hospitality and great food!!

Very disappointing dining experience. The food tasted very average and not worth the price. The menu clearly stated that there was an aperitif, but the waiter said there was no aperitif, which felt like a perfunctory experience. I wanted to take away the food I couldn't finish, but they only gave us two lunch boxes and told us to "figure out the rest ourselves". The overall service attitude was also very unprofessional. I don't recommend this place at all. I won't come again.

Very good Chinese food for Indian vegetarians. Very good service too. Friendly and indulging

The food was tasty & excellently prepared . Service was prompt and steaming hot. Among my best ever veg food in Amsterdam

A huge selection of authentic Chinese food. Very tasty.

The food there was really, really good! I had the Mandarin duck – which was breaded and served with a sweet sauce – but it stayed crispy for a long time! I actually wanted to order it spicier, but the waiter advised me against it, as it would have ruined the authenticity of the dish and the sweetness that the dish stands for. I think it's very good! So I ate it "normally." Very, very tasty! Definitely recommended! However, the prices are too high.

We had the chrispy duck 🦆 , kung pow chicken and chicken noodles 🐔🍜 and it was delicious! Recommend if you are looking for tasty authentic food in a great atmosphere! The service was good amd my daughter was really happy with them.

Deeeelicious!!! Worth the price!

An overall 5* Sichuan restaurant with excellent tasty foods and best services. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, be careful the plates are generous and we didn't finish everything: it was excellent

An exceptional culinary experience! This restaurant offers authentic Sichuanese cuisine, rich in flavors and spices. Each dish is a true explosion of tastes, perfectly balanced. The service is impeccable, with a welcoming team passionate about the cuisine they offer. The warm and friendly ambiance of the restaurant adds to the experience. If you are a fan of spicy food, this is a place not to be missed!

The twice-cooked pork is really delicious The food is served very quickly and the lady boss is very nice and enthusiastic.

Food was really authentic and great. We love it and every guest we brought to try complimented their food.
