Kebaya Asian brasserie & bar in Schiphol

Expensive, but it is an airport. What is annoying is that the food is not good. Maybe not awful, but not good. App ordering is annoying given the high prices.

worst service ever. staff behaves like you are coming to eat for free while prices are very expensive

Staff are rude service arrogance

⭐ Rating: 2.5 / 5 I recently visited Kebaya Asian Brasserie after hearing mixed opinions, and unfortunately, my experience leaned toward the disappointing side. At first glance, the place looks quite nice — clean, neat, and well-maintained. Presentation-wise, the food also looked appealing and hygienic. However, the taste didn’t live up to the appearance. My dish arrived cold, and honestly, I don’t know who would enjoy eating cold rice and veggies that were supposed to be served warm. The rice was sticky, and although the vegetables on top had a decent flavor, the overall dish just didn’t work for me. Another downside was the service experience. The staff member at the counter wasn’t particularly friendly or welcoming. Interestingly, I did notice another staff member being quite polite and attentive to other customers, so it might depend on who you interact with. For the price point, I expected much better flavor and service. It’s definitely on the expensive side for what you get. While the place seems hygienic and well-kept, the food and customer experience didn’t justify the cost.

There didn’t seem to be much else around but this was fine. A nice cold beer and the noodle ramen wasn’t too bad. Not the most authentic meal but can’t complain about too much, it did the job.

Food came out in 5 minutes and it was as the best airport food I’ve ever had

The food was delicious, but it was on the (very) expensive side.

The egg in the ramen was incredibly sour. I've never had eggs like this anywhere in the world. They say it's pickled eggs, but I spat it out as soon as I ate it, but my mother started vomiting as soon as she got on the plane. When I complained, the server said I was the only one who had complained that evening and never came back. Another male server apologized on my behalf and didn't charge me, but my mother got sick with food poisoning on the plane. After I complained, the person eating next to me said the same thing, and only then did they say they were checking with the kitchen.

We should have checked the reviews beforehand. The summer rolls were great, but the ramen was mediocre. The noodles were overcooked, the egg was too hard, and the soup, unfortunately, wasn't strong enough.

Terribly over priced!!! Food was served cold. Bad attitude from the staff. Avoid at all cost. Never again.

Came here for breakfast and chose a menu via tablet. I picked coffee and an Asian omelette. The coffee was served immediately, but by the time the omelette arrived, it had become cold. The food is surprisingly good for an airport!

Kenny is the best! Incredible service and great environment!

Whilst waiting for our flight, we had a late lunch at Kebaya. A lovely eatery and well worth a visit for some asain cuisine. Staff were all so friendly and helpful! Took time to explain how to order etc then took our meal and drinks order. A good variety of dishes and drinks on the menu to suit all tastes. Fast service for food and drinks. A lovely lunch and would recommend a visit.

Food was quite tasty, but portion is rather small for the price you paid. Well it's airport food so you can kind of expect the price, but giving just a bit more food/rice won't cost you that much also. I am quite small myself and I am also not a big eater, but I was still hungry finishing the meal. Service was not the nicest. My table was not properly cleaned or set up. I can still see pieces of food visibly on the table. When food was given to me, there was no napkin or cutlery accompanied. There was also none on my table. I had to get them myself elsewhere... Not once the waiter/waitress came over to check if everything was okay also. Probably one of the nice ones at the airport, but for the price you paid, it should have been way better, and it also costs the restaurant almost nothing just to give more rice in the pokebowl and set up tables properly in the future. Would I be coming back? Maybe not, unless there is no better option.

I always stop by to eat at this restaurant every time I'm flying from Schipol. The food is delicious in this restaurant.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER, THE MOST FUN AND BEST EXPERIENCE EVER DRINKS ARE TOP FOOD IS SUPER DELICIOUS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FRIENDLY STAFF AND MANAGER

really bad sushi and service dont eat here

We ordered tempura sushi from the bar. The rice was dry. The taste was good. The price was high. There is a restaurant next door with more options.

Surprisingly fresh! Fast. Nice that they had travel soy sauce containers. Expensive though, 30 euro for salmon plate and seaweed salad.

The ramen tastes terrible, and they charge a 10% tip without warning. If you see this, run away and don't eat inside. The ramen tastes terrible, and they charge a 10% tip without warning. If you see this, run away and don't eat inside.

We’ve come here many times before. We arrived early in the morning so they did not have sushi available. The place next door did. My kids and I were going to order from Kebaya while my wife would eat the takeout sushi. They would not allow her to eat inside with us even though the rest of us ordered from the restaurant. I am all about rules, however, not when they make no sense. I get not allowing people to bring other food in if they are just trying to find a spot. But the rest of us were literally ordering from their restaurant. Always recommended this place in the past, never again.

Poor food quality and terrible lazy service. Not recommended 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

The breakfast menu is available until 11 a.m., with three inexpensive dishes; otherwise, it's more expensive (typical for airports). I found the vegetarian noodles very tasty; the portions were modest but carefully selected. You order from a tray, and then the drinks arrived incorrectly. Overall, the wait wasn't long (about 20 minutes). Very tasty, only 4 stars because I think the €28.50 teriaki noodles are too expensive, and the service was okay.

food is always at the highest level!

I had a terrific experience at Kebaya on a not-busy Saturday morning. Service was quick and friendly. The quirky colorful modern decor is fun without being annoying. My ramen bowl was plenty large and filled with the usual goodness. Let’s be honest, food options at Schiphol are awful. Their current highest Google rated restaurant is a cheese store that is not even a restaurant. For me Kebaya easily wins my vote for the most delightful enjoyable cuisine between flights.

It's o.k place. Don't expect much. Portions are very tiny. B It is an airport so don't expect value for money here.

I just wanted to thank the staff, I had a wonderful meal yesterday lunch time waiting for a flight. The staff were very conversational, and engaging, and the food was really well done, but just to re-emphasise (and this may be due to the time of day), but even as it got busier, each member of staff took time to chat, and engage (alongside working). Though, I probably talked too much hahaa

Hella expensive, 2 main meal, 1 plate of sushi and 1 coke for 2 people, 75 euros, 4 pieces of sushi for 17euro??? is it made out of gold or smth ???

Really sad staff that doesn’t know their own menu. There’s no decent vegetarian options, no tofu. Ordered veggie gyoza but they accidentally made chicken gyoza instead. I would avoid.

Food served hot as per order. Good taste thou a bit late. Overall great.

Terrible experience! This restaurant sells Asian food but is very unfriendly to Asians! We ordered a vegetarian ramen and did not ask for takeout. Then the lady gave me a paper bowl of noodles, so we sat down at a table in the restaurant. But another very unfriendly female waitress said we could not sit here because we took out food??? She told us to sit at the bar, but when we moved our seats to the bar, she drove us away to another corner of the bar, and we could not sit anywhere else in the restaurant! I was so angry! We did not say anything about taking out food from the beginning to the end, I just thought this restaurant used paper bowls because of environmental protection requirements. When we tried to communicate with the waitress, another male customer indiscriminately blamed us for not following the rules of their country, I must say, this is totally racial discrimination! At last we had to eat this terrible bowl of ramen on a chair in front of the boarding gate.

High price for the quality, unfriendly service, very poor.

Nothing extraordinary, but nice

Had a very average beef rendang and a lot of fruit flies flying around the kitchen area. Very expensive for what is quite poor food though. Staff pleasant though.

Food was great. Order through their app or on tablet thy drop off at the table.

The Food was quite good, the portions rather small, quite expensive but it’s the Airport, we are used to tiny Sandwiches for 16€.. but the Service was a Desaster. Moody waiters, we had to ask for something to Drink 3 times before we got an ice tea. Sad really.

Fast service. For a quick drink or something to eat. But good quality.

Nice Miso Ramen and Dumplings, staff is very friendly

Got nice hot meal, very well made and nice table service. Cant complain of anything.

Horrible service, they literately threw the plate at my table, i ordered one extra sprite which never came. The food tasted too salty.

Food's good (and fast), but it's rather pricey

Very unfriendly to us as a guest.

Was afraid to "park" here for a breakfast seeing 3.5 stars, but actually everything was good: comfy seats, great food (gyoza, miso ramen soup work pork, crispy duck, etc.), decent portions. Google: No! This is not a "fake review", stop removing my reviews! I've been here many times, before I attempted to post this review, and several times since then! I used to sit here almost every time when I take a flight somewhere and if I have time. Yes, the service isn't that fast as in McDonald's, but c'mon, the food here is much better! And yes, the prices here are biting quite painfully, but this is the airport, here you always pay x2 from the normal restaurant price.

The food is served very slowly, expensive and not delicious.

I don’t remember the last time I ate this bad. I love dim sum… but this was shocking. My father in law tricked us and said it was good. Also, very overpriced. Friendly staff tho!

I had the salmon teriyaki it was ok and the atmosphere was a bit dull maybe due to being an airport but the staff were friendly and helpful so they get top marks

Kebaya Asian Brasserie at Schiphol Airport offers a stylish and comfortable setting, making it one of the more visually appealing dining options in the terminal. The modern interior design and elegant ambiance create a pleasant atmosphere for travelers looking to enjoy a sit-down meal before their flight. However, while the food is of decent quality, the taste does not quite live up to the high expectations set by its premium pricing. The flavors are fairly ordinary—good, but not particularly memorable or on par with what one would expect from a high-end Asian restaurant. Given the upscale branding and cost, I was hoping for more depth and authenticity in the dishes. Additionally, the portions are quite small, which further adds to the sense that the value doesn’t quite match the price tag. While it’s a better option than fast food, it doesn’t fully justify the premium cost. Overall, Kebaya is a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing place to dine, but the food experience feels underwhelming for the price. If you’re looking for a quick, decent meal and don’t mind paying extra for the ambiance, it’s an option—but don’t expect a standout culinary experience.

I asked for the invoice and the server asked for my email, but I never received the requested document. I ask the restaurant owner to please answer me I asked for the invoice and the server asked for my email, but I never received the requested document. I ask the restaurant owner to answer me please

Very old sushi. Not to eat. From Albert Heijn is even better

As you’d expect in an airport everything was overpriced. But this was strange, it would cost you the same for like 8 pieces of sushi as it would for a big bowl of ramen. My friend had to wait until I was almost done with my ramen (and I did wait a while before starting) before he got his gyoza. All the ordering is done digitally so you can’t ask for things without certain parts of the dish. You have to pick them out which seems wasteful. (I’m aware I’m a fussy eater and this is a me problem) The serving staff were very friendly though, I imagine the delay in food was somewhere else in the chain of command.

Food is okay but not great. Service is a bit lacklustre, and not very friendly. The atmosphere is fine. If you fancy a ramen or similar why not, but you'll not be overly surprised and delighted by it all.

Honestly, the 2nd best espresso martini I have had. (The first was at Bricco's in the North End of Boston.) Cold & strong and the glass is beautiful! The bartender was a young gentleman who was very kind, too. Sitting at Kebaya's while we waited for our plane was a nice way to kill time.

Takeaway sushi is expensive and awful. Only after I paid they told me I had to eat it there.

Airport restaurant with nice staff and fairly decent food. Quite expensive as all airport restaurants. Hi tech solution to order food.

Ordered takeout and went to sit in the restaurant but was told I could not sit there even though it was empty. Fine. Then I took a bite of my sushi and the rice was literally solid. I spat it out immediately and returned it. They promised to refund me.

best shoyu ramen in the airport. no need to order online if you are going to pay in cash. thanks to the 6'1" lady server for the good service.

Don't order Korean beef kimchi rice. The meat is hard to bite and cannot be swallowed at all. The kimchi tastes weird. The soy sauce ramen is okay overall, but the green beans are raw and the dumplings are okay. A bit expensive, three staple dishes cost NT$2,000

Not friendly place:( felt not comfortable

Absolutely terrible ! Food is average; but the servers are horrible. Mine had to “put” in a request to get me water which took 10 minutes to come. Also, did I mention the ramen isn’t hot? Which kind of defeats the purpose.

Frequently use AMS as a layover hub to get to other European countries, and wanted to try a new restaurant this time. Walked good 10 mins and never expected to have the worst service I've had so far. Ariana the female waiter yelled out “omg” when I said my legs are too tired to sit in a high chair and would like to sit at a table in the next section. It was all empty and they were declining to seat me there. Maybe it's her lack of English that came off very offensive and rude. Talked to the manager that I'd rather wait than to sit on a high chair and I had to wait until someone got out. I get seated, and about 10 mins into sitting I turn around to find out they have opened the left section that I asked for. Honestly don’t understand what kind of principle they run the place on, but I know I'll never come back since food is not worth the worst service you can expect. Food was meh.

I had the Bento box which was great and the service was top notch, everyone was so friendly and helpful.

One of the few proper sit down options in Schipper. Unfortunately truly disappointing. Ordered a salmon roll, and although there was a sushi chef at the bar and the restaurant was not busy, they served a pre prepared roll, with rice way too cold and no better than a supermarket roll. Quiet, nice looking place if you are looking to stop for a drink , but nothing more . Truly disappointed.

Went in at 11am on a Monday for a bite to eat, not at all busy, between the waitress coming to see me the first time and the second time was easily 25 minutes. They have some BS QR code menu to order off of and pay for in one go, honestly just an excuse for **** service. It was dead in there and didn't see my waitress more than twice in an hour. I digress, onto the food, I ordered a wine, har kau dumplings and the miso ramen. The dumplings were puny, the size of a protein ball, I've had good dim sum before, and these had zero flavor or texture. The Ramen was dogwater, I've had more flavor in a broth in a Campbell's chicken stock container. The vegetables weren't even cooked or flavored, they were still cold as if they'd been thrown into the broth right before they served it to me. The meat had zero flavor, honestly looked like sliced bacon. I feel like my intelligence has been insulted eating here. I'm not a dim sum or ramen connoisseur by any means, but holy **** I feel ripped off paying 40 euro for this absolute dog meal. I've had more flavor in a kraft slice of processed cheese. Avoid at all costs.

Very unfortunate. The menu includes sushi roll for €18.50. But you get half a sushi roll 4 pieces. Taste and food are tasty, but misleading people is really not okay. Mention it on the card or give a roll if it says so!

Avoid! Extortionate pricing, poor quality meat, do not get the Yaki Udon, the chicken had a bad taste and seemed like it was old. Not worth the money at all!

This was probably the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. While the restaurant has a nice ambiance and is a pleasant place to sit, the quality of the food and the taste were absolutely terrible. It’s definitely not worth it, especially given the prices you’d expect at an airport restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a decent meal.

Excellent food, great service and comfy atmosphere.

Had some sushi here today. Possibly the worst sushi I ever had. First when I wanted to order, the guy was no where to be found, then I finally found him in the corner watching TikTok videos on his phones. Then o ordered a salmon box and the salmon was dry and the rice was also dry and hard, most like days old, I just hope it will not give my stomach issues on my flights😅

Very expensive and disgusting. The only edible things were a few pieces of fish from our bento box. The dim sum had a packaging taste. The chicken satays looked and tasted like they were spoiled. Almost 20 Euro for 4 inedible, mini pieces of salmon roll. We had to pick up an airport sandwich because we couldn't eat most of our 85 Euro meal.

I have bad experience about Noodals. While we eating it, There was bad smale and Steam in this food when they give with microwave and Burning my and my son eyes. I talked about manager but he can't take any Complaint. Finally We throw out Bowl and that it. you should take care of us resolve our problems

Although it doesn’t taste like Japanese food, it’s still ok

Food quality is cheap! The beef and chicken are very low quality, the plates do not look enticing. Never eating here again

Symptomatic of a rotting carcass that is Europe. A sit down place where the service couldn’t be bothered to come to the table. Instead asking the customer to go to the desk. You can get better service at a roadside stall anywhere in Asia. Canceled the sit down and went to a cafe. It doesn’t deserve your money.

The staff is genuinely awesome! Friendly, nice, funny and kind! :) Food very tasty, but the people working is the reason it is worth it!

They started to do what they called a 'deep clean' hoovering in the restaurant whilst we were having dinner at 6pm. We complained to the waitress as the noise was so loud and it went on for so long, and other customers complained as well. The waitress did not care much and neither did the restaurant manager. Way to treat your customers!! ...and way to get a bad rating!

After walking around Schiphol for a while, we wanted to eat something. Plenty of choice. We decided to have something to eat at Kebaya. That was certainly not a wrong choice! Friendly staff. Really delicious food. Definitely recommended. Even just a starter if you are not a big eater was no problem.

It tastes as bad as expected. I ordered miso ramen, but the soup was lukewarm and the noodles were solid. You can choose toppings from chicken, chashu, salmon, or vegetables. I chose char siu.

The attitude of the waiter was very bad. The service industry was not well trained and I was very unhappy with my meal. When the meal was over and the waiter was collecting the plates, she ordered me to put the used paper towels on the table on the plate before she was willing to take the plate away. Not recommended. Never patronize again

17.50 € for just 4 pieces of sushi.

Wait 17 min for a bottle of water. Will never be back

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy airport then I would highly recommend taking a seat in Kebaya and enjoy a meal. The atmosphere is chilled with just a nice level of chilled music in the background. Cosy lighting and comfy enough seating helps you relax. The staff are very polite and patient and more than happy to help. As the for the food, I enjoyed the satay chicken with a nice cold beer on the side. Very tasty! When I asked if they did desserts they apologised that they did not but swiftly brought me a little bowl of some select chocolates. Not the cheapest of places to eat in the airport but you really get what you pay for.

The food is good, but they never brought us a drink. They had the wrong table number on the table and tried to gaslight me about using the wrong table number. I won't return unless I have to.

Salmon teriyaki died for nothing. Bland. Boiled rice is all glued (nope, it's not a Thai sticky rice). One star goes to veggies - they aren't overcooked. Ate the dish just because there's nothing worse than KLM sandwiches.

The waitress from the bar was pretty rude, maybe I owe her money. She almost throw the drink for me hardly.

Food and service were great. My only complaint was the music - when you're in the middle of a long wait for a flight you want original songs, not the covers.

This is my go to when travelling through Schipol. Food has always been excellent! Tuna Poke bowl awesome value too but all good...The service has been mixed - it's a busy airport so probably have high staff turnover??Maybe that why? Sometimes they don't seem to know what they are doing...BUT the food is lovely and I will be back 😊.

I got food poisoning because their sushi was mot fresh.

Don't know why this place has such bad reviews, I always go when im in this airport - try the crispy duck, always look forward to this at the end of a trip to Amsterdam. Yes it's pricey, but it's an airport and the food is tasty!

Food was ok, but staff needs to be trained to be a little faster and more polite.

We ate here a month ago. It was completely beyond expectations for us. We didn't expect to eat so well at the airport. We imagined ourselves in a restaurant, away from all the flying hustle and bustle.

If I could give 0 stars I would. The service is the worst service I’ve experienced- staff blatantly ignore you and unhelpful. I ended up leaving due to the lack of service- I relocated to another restaurant and I noticed other customers followed. Terrible experience. As a frequent Schiphol visitor I’ll avoid this place every trip. Spare yourself the time and go elsewhere.

This is 27 euros. It's crazy. Don't come here. I came because it looked like it was on the outside. Are you kidding me?

Chaotic service, food average at best.

First time I have visited since Covid. Very disappointing and expensive. Out of the three things I ordered I go one, the other two I had to chase each other dish. The food was not good, the ramen had zero flavour and €13 euro extra for 5 small thin strips of tasteless pork belly strips! The Goza again lacked flavour, the filling was had very little texture and the Goza casing was very thick. Will not be returning and I would recommend visiting another establishment.

As a regular customer who flies several times a month, I have been coming here early in the morning for years. Now we had to sit in a special place at the front so that other people can see us to attract more customers. Lines of long people crammed between a wall and a cash register... The nice places have to remain empty until 10 a.m.😂😂 what a waste of turnover... after years of excellent service, we are now forced to go to 'the bubble bar' where you can eat and drink from 7 a.m. The manager was not available because it was his day off. last cents you received from us. With your new rules...

Reasonably priced food and drinks. A variety of options. Service was good.

The electronic ordering process works well. I love Asian food, especially dim sum, but was disappointed with the quality of the things I ordered. The service was friendly, but not fast enough.

Service was very nice and it’s relaxing a place to sit in an airport. Food was average and some parts of the ramen are not authentic.

Poor customer service. Such a shame for the Schiphol airport

Okay the whole airport serves Heineken ONLY!
