Chuan Yan Restaurant - 川菜馆 in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

The place is closed. On Google it’s open

This business is closed, won't re-open.

This restaurant is permanently closed!!!

We had made a reservation, but when we arrived they were doing renovations and really weren't open. It was a shame, because I really wanted to eat there sometime.

Do not go there, portion is extremely small and the price is high. They sell rice wine by cups, that is unacceptable.

Excellent meal, but was rather late in the day so staff were clearing up ready to go home. Still, would certainly go again.

The food was terrible. Fried rice wasn’t the fried rice No flavours at All !!! Disappointed 😟

The menu of the restaurant is a bit tricky. You can see the pictures and the descriptions of all the dishes on a well printed menu, but without any prices. You will see a little sheet on the table for you to order, which is the only thing in the restaurant showing the price of all the dishes.

We found this restaurant coincidentally when we were on the way to other restaurant. Then we just changed our mind and try here and we loved it! After we tried the second time, we observed that the food quality and taste are still the same. We took our family this time and we all really enjoyed the meal. We love the mapo tofu and stir fried green been a lot. The roasted duck is also a must try dish. Overall we are happy with the meal.

The best food I ate so far! Its really hot but also such a specific and good taste! We had cold noodles which had such a nice taste with coriander and also a vegetarian tofu dish which was even better! Amazing!

Very delicious food, nice staff. If you feel like eating Chinese this is your destination

taste is ok, but portions are so little. we ordered 8 dishes and it wasnt enough for 5 persons. 20 euro for a few slices duck and 4 small pancakes... in neighboring restaurants you get 1/2 a duck for that price. We ended up in the neighboring snackbar to fill our stomach...... We paid almost 40 euro per person and it wasnt enough food... very seldom for chinese restaurant.

The food was very good. 🍲🥗🍜 I'll definitely go there again. Thank you

Would recommend the Mapo Tofu (not even too spicy for someone who can’t eat spicy food) and Fragrant Aubergine. Perfectly made, fresh, and served fast. And vegetarian-friendly.

The staff was super lovely. I really enjoyed the Peking duck it was pretty moist yet crispy. The porc belly slices were delicious too. The veg and the poached chicken were great too super light and flavourful. Would recommend, very well priced.

Delicious food and very good experience. We had the boiled beef, sweet and sour chicken and Kung Pao chicken which for me was the best dish. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. We will come back for sure. Totally recommend! 🥢

It’s a very nice place for Chinese food . Price are cheaper than other restaurants. Have been here mount of times. The only thing is that the food are little.maybe can add more.

Absolutely amazing and authentic food, exactly like the kind you'd get from a random local family style restaurant in any big city of China. Service is perhaps a bit brief but they aren't unfriendly. Been craving a good twice cooked pork (huiguorou) for years and now that itch has been scratched. Would go daily if I lived in Amsterdam.

Had a very pleasant time in this restaurant. Nice service, large choice of appetising dishes. The sweet and sour soup and pork with Xinjiang sauce were both excellent!

A very delicious Sichuan restaurant, personally I prefer it to Fulu. My wife, who is from Chongqing, said the taste is very good. Highly recommend the boiled beef, the beef is really tender and delicious, and the side dishes are also very fresh. Maoxuewang is also recommended. The most recommended is the griddle-pot sausage. It is amazing. It is definitely the best griddle-pot sausage I have ever eaten in Europe.

This is a hiddem gem! If you're into Chinese cuisine and love a bit of spice, this is the place to go. Came here for the first time and will definitely come back. Fantastic food!

BEST Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam!!! The owner is super nice, the food is authentic and amazing, good price for the portions, had a great time with my friends here. It’s my number 1 go to restaurant for sure!😋

The restaurant is not safe, our wallet was stolen while we were looking at the menu and the staff did not care. In general, they were rude from entry to exit. Food orders came wrong. Don't wait in line and enter.

Good taste, good environment, suitable portion, moderate price

Overpriced, fairly small portions. You have to fill in a card at the table for your order... You don't even have to do that at McDonald's. The menu does not have any prices printed on it. I would not recommend. Oh, also, they refuse to give you a glass of tap water, you must buy bottled water. No thanks! We ate half and made a dash for the nearest frites place. What a waste of time and money. Oh wow, we just went to pay and they charged me for a full bottle of wine even though I just had one glass. DO NOT COME HERE.

Really good Chinese food. I will come back for sure!

As a Chongqing native, this is not really authentic Sichuan food... but it tastes better than the one in Sichuan. But the portion is too small. It's barely a four-star rating. Considering the environment, it's pretty good in a crappy place like Eminem.

At the invitation of my good friend Wing, I enjoyed exquisite, truly authentic Chinese cuisine here. Piece by piece dishes to lick your fingers at. Deliciously spicy. I enjoyed dishes including sea bass, beef, lamb and chicken. I don't know which ones exactly because Wing wanted to surprise me and had just not ordered the entire menu 😀 Really very tasty, highly recommended. The photos speak for themselves.

Exquisite food and service a 10. A little expensive but everything is great.

Food was reasonably price and very tasty! Also very authentic and spicy! Was craving peking duck and it was so good and affordable here! Total was around €25 pp for drinks, rice, duck and chicken.

Very nice Chinese restaurant next to Amsterdam city center, quality of food is very good especially the shrimp dumplings and the fried rice. The waiter was very kind as we were 5/10 minutes late. Overall value for money is really really good...

Sliced pork sliced pork sliced pork sliced pork sliced pork sliced pork so good so chilled nice rice good food

Beautiful food... Tasty and very well cooked. Friendly and helpful staff.

food is okay, however, portion is teally small :(

The food here is very good. The dishes are lip-smacking good!! The authentic Sichuan taste, freshly made. The boiled sea bass in red chilli is ridiculously good --- the fresh fish melts in your mouth. The clay pot tofu is so so good!! Also good are any of the Chinese greens in garlic. The dining ambience is a but dull and the service could be much better. But the food is great!! I'd give it a five-star but as a matter of principle I'll now give the full five rating only when there is full hospitality. And that means offering tap water as an option and not forcing you to pay for bottled water. Restaurants should make profits but with dignity and warmth.

The pickled spicy fish was good! Perhaps too many fish bones that could have been taken out first. Ingredients could be slightly fresher.

Very nice and friendly authentic Chinese place.

We ordered the Mapo Tofu, Dan Dan Noodles and Peking Duck. All of these dishes were delicious and authentic; A welcome respite from the Chinese food altered for local taste. Oddly, they do not offer tap water so be prepared to shell out an extra €7 for a bottle of Chaudfontaine water to share between 2. Like others have mentioned, 1.5 portions of rice costs an extra €3.50 which seems a bit steep to me as there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.

Love the food ! It was so good and spicy. We ate really well but for drinks, we ask for a martini red and they serve like one cm of it with ice... That was sad. Other than that the food were really good and we especially liked the chicken feets ^^

荷兰第一川菜馆，比福禄好吃多了！本来要去福禄的，结果位子没订到，临时改变去的川宴。没想到味道很惊艳！等第二天再去吃福禄的时候都感觉没川宴好吃！下次去荷兰必再去这家！ No1 tasty Chinese restaurant in Holland. I am Chinese and I go to this restaurant every time when I come to Holland.

Helaas konden we geen plekje bemachtigdn bij onze favo restaurant en liepen langs deze, eens proberen. De gerechten waren netjes maar wel kleiner dan gewend. De soepen zelf waren ook niet overweldigend net als de peper, helaas niet op een sterkte fie we gewend zijn. Goed eten voor de prijs maar verwacht meer smeeksensatie.

What an array of oriental gastronmical delights !! our only complaint was the relentless looped playlist of Taylor Swift songs

非常好吃的一家，每次从格村过去基本必去的，还要点一些打包带回去一些那种程度。这次鱼香茄条全场最佳！ 光顾着吃忘了拍照了。。。。

味道确实不错，夫妻肺片的红油味特别正，麻婆豆腐还有宫保鸡丁也都挺好吃的，没有踩雷的菜。 主要缺点就是菜量是真的有点少，夫妻肺片就几片肉，麻婆豆腐三四勺子下去就没了，然后价格也有点偏高，我一个人吃点了三个菜才刚刚吃饱。 总的来说，如果你饭量偏大就不建议来了，反之可以放心来吃。

周日下午5点半左右到，因为没有预定座位，老板提示最好能在7点前完成就餐，因为后面有顾客预定了座位。 我们4大4小，点了10个菜和小吃。15分钟不到就上齐了。好不夸张地说这是我体验过的上菜最快的一次就餐。伙计说是餐厅的几个大厨同时为我们做菜。 我们1个小时就吃完了，几乎全部吃光，味道不错，分量不算大，价格180欧，人均不到25欧。

Very authentic! A must for us when we are in Amsterdam

옆에 OCHA를 갔다가 문을 닫아서 들렸는데, 제대로 된 사천요리를 먹을 수 있었습니다. 서양인을 위해서 조금 달달하게 만들긴 했지만요. 가격, 양, 맛 모두 만족합니다. 항저우 볶음밥은 조금 더 센불에 고글고슬하게 볶으면 더 좋았을 것 같습니다.

Amazing food and huge dishes! Nice service and atmosphere

Delicious, very close to authentic sichuan good

BE WARNED PEOPLE!!!!! This is by far the best Sichuan restaurant in the Netherlands. Their Mapo Tofu and Dan Dan noodles are legendary. Every time it’s a delight to eat here.

Un restaurant de nota 10 mișcarea foarte gustoasa recomand mai rar asa locuri!

Great Chinese styled food at a reasonable price, at least for a downtown Amsterdam location. Food was well spiced. It was clean. Service was appropriate for a casual restaurant.

We got the duck with pancakes, sweet and sour chicken and shrimp dumplings. The duck was amazing, the skin was crispy and the meat was moist. The chicken was also good! The dumplings were okay, but the shrimp inside was very mushy. The service is very quick and our waiter was super kind too. Overall I would definitely visit again!

Not the best I've ever had, the extra salty taste of MSG overwhelmed the dishes

One of my favourite places with amazing 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 spicy food.

Sehr lecker！ Die Tische sind sauber und die Kellner sind freundlich. “Boiled Fish in Hot Chili Sauce" ist am leckersten！

Visiting this place feels like visiting china. Everything ist very authentic and the food was super delicious. Also, there were only Asian people here apart from us, so I thought it must be good and authentic. The price is definitely not cheap, but worth the experience. This is a proper Chinese restaurant as you don’t order your own meal but rather everyone’s meal gets placed in the middle and you get an empty plate so that you all share the food.

Eggplants and sour cabbage fish are really good👍

先说缺点。菜量小的一批，几勺子下去就没了。米饭3.5欧一小盆，大概两碗不到的量。水煮鱼和毛血旺就一层肉和鱼，下面全是豆芽。再说优点。味道不错，上菜很快。总之我觉得一般般。

Food was very good. The service could be more smile and kind.
