Nyonya Malaysian Kitchen in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Cash-only policy was not communicated in advance, aside from a small sign on the table. The staff didn’t mention it either. The food was below average and not worth carrying cash for.

The food was very tasty, I had a char ketew just like I had eaten in Penang!! Truly delicious, my husband had the nasi lemak, also very tasty

plenty of locals ordering for take away which says a lot, we were really missing. home food, had en excellent kway teow and mee hoon goreng, lots of wok hey and ingredients, plus fried tofu and cream soda, very satisfying

We were walking around the city center, not really sure what to eat, and we stumbled upon this place. The food was delicious, the prices were great, and the staff were very friendly. The food tasted very homemade. Highly recommended!

Good, very good even, but too fat for my taste.

The food was delicious, the staff is very friendly and the dishes as reasonably priced. We have definitely found a spot to frequent!

Tiny restaurant that is known in Amsterdam. Asian comfort food. Just the way we like it (as Dutch Asians ourselves). Been in Malaysia many times. 8/10

This is a good place. You should go.

Really fantastic!!! Hainanese chicken was a highlight, as well as the morning glories with garlic.

I've been coming here for years, still great.

We came here yesterday. We ordered nasi lemak, chicken wings, and bami nyonya. All the food was delicious and I didn't expect it to be so filling, even though the portions were quite small (typical Asian food). The service was very good, the aunty was very friendly, could speak English, and seemed so lovely and made sure to ask us "is the food delicious? is everything safe?" Unfortunately, they don't accept card payments, so don't forget to prepare cash if you want to come here. Oh yes, the location is also very easy to reach and is still in a busy tourist area. Thank you and always be healthy to the restaurant 🫶

The food was excellent. Very good dishes that took us on a journey; the dishes were very flavorful.

Absolutely delicious, the first restaurant in Amsterdam that was worth every penny!!!

The food here is really tasty! I ordered nasi goreng myself and it was delicious!

Tasty food, simple but authentic decor. Friendly service. The food was a bit on the spicy side, but the kind that leaves you with a happy smile on your face. Lovely place, will be back

I was surprisingly underwhelmed by this restaurant. I had high hopes given then reviews… The food was not it. Neither the taste, nor the presentation, nor the price, not the atmosphere. The food took so long to prepare that we just took it to go…The fried rice had no meat. A couple bites into the meal, I felt sick because of the smell of the food. The person accompanying me also felt similarly while consuming a different dish. Both dishes discarded. Would I go here again - No

Travelling away from home wanting Malaysian food. Found this place online and it didn't disappoint. Great food, authentic flavours.

It’s a bit like instant noodles.. soup is a little salty too

This restaurant is a real gem. Super friendly service, fantastic, authentic, and tasty dishes. Highly recommended!

Recommend: Nr.25 and bread with curry, havent tried other foods & curios about stir-fried ongchoi. Service is quick & friendly.

I had the Laksa Kari Bami and my wife had the Char Kway Teow. Both were fantastic, but I enjoyed my Laksa just a bit more!

Delicious authentic food. Not to be missed!!

Went last night for dinner. I'd heard a food podcast rave about a malaysian dish char kway teow (not here, just in general) so I wanted to try it With my GF we had: Char Kway Teow Laksa Kari Bami Malay Atjar The Laksa was my favourite of the bunch but all 3 were REALLY good. The place is very casual, unassuming, but the food is really amazing. Will definitely come back at some point.

One of the best Char Kway Tao’s I’ve had outside of mayalsia

Nice, small, and cozy place. Reasonable prices and normal portions (certainly not large). It tasted very good. Friendly staff. It was my first time here. I'll definitely be back.

Large portion, tastes fantastic

Excellent meal made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive. Thank you so much to the whole team!

Food was quite tasty staff was very nice. Chicken is halal.

Nice atmosphere! The food are in good portions and quite traditional! Highly recommend the Malaysian milk tea!

Loved the food and quick service. We ordered Hainanese chicken rice and mee goreng nyonya. The chicken was beautifully cooked and had amazing flavour. Definitely recommended!

Ordered laksa, nasi lemak, and char kway teuow, all are delicious! They also have the best restroom in the Europe!

Great Malay food in Amsterdam, we love the char kweetiauw

Very tasty and flavorful. Very cozy and inviting atmosphere inside. Friendly staff.

I was looking forward to this but fell a bit disappointed. I ordered a Malaysian chicken curry that had the right colour but I saw an almost broth like sauce which I knew was a sign I won't be enjoying it. I was right. The sauce was more like a soup, unfortunately doesnt have a lot of flavour to it. It's not bad, just lacking in proper flavour. My sister ordered Hainanese Chicken and she enjoyed it. I had a taste of it and it was better than mine but again, needs a big upgrade on flavour the way Malaysian food should be. I wont be back and will look for a more authentic place next time.

Amazing food, super friendly staff! My girlfriend says it was very authentic! :)

Every time I visit Amsterdam, I stop by this place because it reminds me of home. The char kway teow was exceptionally delicious and had the nice char flavour of the wok. Servers were also very nice and helpful.

there were a variety of dishes to choose from, ranging from noodles to rice and curries. food was authentic and flavorful, true to asian taste buds decently priced for city area food and food portions, quick service catered to asian and halal consumers so everyone is welcome space is cramped so reservations may be best

Shrimp sambal petai and char koay teow are so so good here

Nice, cozy place. Was mu first time having malaysian food, so nothing to compare it to. The spicy soup was really similar to tom yum from Thailand and the bean curd with vegetables was really close to a chinese dish, but not quite as flavourful. Asked for both to be very spicy, none of them was anything close. Overall, a nice expercience.

Chef van der Lecq wasn't lying! What a smack sensation! We started with fried tau fu, roti canai, and lumpia udang. Then we shared a few. Char kwai teom. Wow!!! Thick noodles with chicken and a kind of fish cake. Wonderfully balanced. Nasi lemak nyonya. Perfect if you don't like spicy food. Sambal petai udang. A delicious combination with peteh beans and shrimp. And what's for a drink? Teh tarik. A kind of black sweet tea with coconut milk? It certainly complements the food in this simple yet instantly cozy eatery.

A small, unassuming restaurant that's actually really good. The food was very tasty and the service was quick.

the food was enjoyable, though a bit bland for my palette. good service, just a small location and was sat next to the door in the cold.

Order the chicken soup with prawns dumplings and you won't regret, unless you're allergic to prawns, then you could regret

Simple but excellent Malaysian food. Would recommend.

A very good restaurant. Good food and very reasonable prices.

What a lovely restaurant with extremely friendly staff. Beautiful quaint place, halal food and at a decent prices. Tried 3 different dishes and they were all spectacular. I highly recommend visiting this gem if you're in Amsterdam

Depending on the expectations this place can be very nice or very bad. I had Nr. 22 (17.50€) which was very tasty and with good flavour & wifey had Nr. 25 (17.50€) which was an oil bath, to the level of being not edible.(-3) Later in the evening we got huge heartburn. The location is close to the center and easy to reach (+1) but the interior is not very nice, it's smelling strongly like food so the front door must be open (-1). The staff is friendly and I could charge my phone (+1). The price is too high for what you get, I know it's Amsterdam but some other places look nicer inside and even serve pasta with truffles at 17€. The waitress asked everybody else if they want some food to try for free which they have made too much, apart from us. That is very unprofessional. I don't recommend this place, there are better choices in the area.

Very good Malaysian restaurant. The food is good, the atmosphere is cozy, and it's in the center of Amsterdam.

Friendly staff and very tasty food

A delicious meal. Glad to see the menu.

Had a chat with the owner as he was so friendly and food tasted amazing

The food was good and authentic. I would come again.

I wouldn’t recommend this place - especially not the Hainan chicken rice itself.

Very nice place. The waiter was very friendly and patiently explained everything and gave us some recommendations. Definitely recommend to try this place.

Good food and very friendly staffs

A humble and cozy shop serving good food! We ordered the teh tarik, curry mee and nasi goreng nyonya. Being a Malaysian myself, I think the foods gave a homely taste, especially after being a way from home for long. Definitely recommend anybody craving for authentic Malaysian food to drop by and try. This place deserves more recognition than many other restaurants in Chinatown area.

Madam's fried rice and chicken wings are so delicious!

Nice staff and really great Nasi

This place is such a gem! I only had time for the hainanese chicken rice and the laksa, which were both very tasty and full of flavor. I will be back!

First time trying Malaysian food and it was a great experience! Great taste! Fast service! But the shop is small so can be crowded

Don’t judge a book by its cover! We absolutely loved the food here! Staff were really friendly too. I do think it’s a bit overpriced but I’m not surprised considering their location.

One of the standout culinary gems we discovered in Amsterdam. Every dish we tried was exceptional, and even my three-year-old devoured their meal without hesitation—a true sign of universally satisfying food. The fried rice and rice noodles are absolute must-tries, perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. This is one spot I’ll be returning to without question on my next visit.

As someone who grew up eating Malaysian and Thai food, I like to think of myself as a bit of a connoisseur of Southeast Asian cuisine — so whenever I travel, I make a point to seek out authentic Malaysian restaurants. On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I finally made my way to Nyonya Malaysian Kitchen. It was a rainy, cold, breezy evening, and it took me quite a while to find the place. But as soon as I stepped inside the small, cozy restaurant, I was greeted by two of the friendliest waitresses I’ve ever met — neither of them Malaysian (one from Hong Kong), but both warm, welcoming, and attentive. That immediately set a positive tone for the night. I ordered the Hainanese chicken rice, which came highly recommended by many reviewers — some claiming to be Malaysians themselves — as well as a glass of iced teh tarik. Unfortunately, this is where my experience fell short. The chicken rice simply did not meet my expectations. The chicken was breast meat, lean and reasonably juicy, but lacking in flavor aside from the fried garlic garnish. The rice was the biggest disappointment — it tasted plain, without the rich, savory aroma that comes from cooking with chicken fat, which is the soul of a good Hainanese chicken rice. The chili sauce was equally underwhelming — watery and flat, missing the garlicky, gingery, tangy kick that makes the dish shine. Without a good chili sauce, chicken rice loses its identity. As for the teh tarik, it was diluted and lacked sweetness, tasting nothing like the creamy, frothy teh tarik that’s beloved in Malaysia. The highlight of the evening, surprisingly, was meeting the chef, who hails from Penang and has been living in the Netherlands for nearly four decades. He was warm, chatty, and clearly passionate about sharing his story. Unfortunately, I suspect that so many years away from Malaysia may have dulled the authenticity of his recipes. Would I return? Probably not for the food, but perhaps to chat with the chef again. With so few Malaysian options in the Netherlands — and my experience with the other one being equally disappointing — I can’t say I would take the risk again.

You can enjoy authentic Peranakan cuisine here. I highly recommend the Laksa Kari, which is spicy, rich, and full of flavor.

It's a very small place on the edge of the red light district. I think and the food was phenomenal. Worth the wait.

the Pattaya fried rice so delicious and big portion I can’t finish it 🤭 very worth it to eat here

Authentic Halal malay food in the heart of Amsterdam. Reminded me of my time in Malaysia and Singapore.

Friendly 'Hole in the Wall' serving really tasty stuff. Chicken rice was succulent!

Food was nice . Though this place was crowded, staffs are fast enough to serve the food on time.

My favorite Malaysian restaurant in Amsterdam! It’s a family run affair and I love that atmosphere spills over into the restaurant ambiance too. The Roti Canai and Laksa are to die for. They also made a vegetarian Laksa for my mum that was loaded with veggies. Everything I’ve ordered here has been great, hopefully they’ll do desserts too someday!

So yummmmmm. Best meal I had in Amsterdam. Cute little vibe, I ate alone and the staff were super chill and friendly, sharing a laugh together 🫶

Very delicious, great service and kind waiters. At times, the kitchen folks would cook something very spicy and would go up in the air and the entire restaurant will get spicy air. You will start coughing because of it. It is a minor inconvenience. Would have been great if the portion (I had the nasi lemak) would be a bit more rice. Was a bit shabby. Other than that, it was very good!

This was our third time here and its now become a must visit whenever we’re in Amsterdam. Living in europe, we really miss authentic Malaysian food, so every trip here feels like coming home. We ordered kuey teow goreng, roti canai, nasi ayam, and penang laksa curry. Every single dish was delicious, rich in flavor, authentic, and so close to the taste we remember from back home. You really can’t fool a Malaysian’s taste buds 🤣 and they impress us every single time. The portions are on the smaller side considering the price, which is a bit high, but honestly, the flavors make it worth it. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and intimate, though not wheelchair accessible. If you’re coming with a big group, I’d highly recommend making a reservation. The owner isn’t the warmest or most smiley host, but for food this good, im more than happy to overlook that. At the end of the day, we come for the flavors and this place nails it every single time! 🤗

Delicious malaysia food. Specially the laksa and nasi lemak

Authentic Malaysian cuisine, food is fast but service could be friendlier. Unfortunately the hainan chickens are overcooked to the point the meat is not so juicy and tender anymore. It seems like the chickens are precooked the day before or prepped in the early mornings and when it’s time to be served they just reheat it (in water). On the other hand, the laksa soup and char kway teo were super flavorful, you can really smell and taste the wok hei! Worth another visit.

It is halal Malaysian restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is small, but we were there during lunch time so finding table was not difficult (perhaps it would be more difficult for dinner time). The kangkung balacan was sooooooo gooood. The rice portion was huge, a bit too much for us. Would love to come back to try other menus :)

It's a Chinese style Malaysian dish. The restaurant has a Halal certificate. I ordered a Mee Goreng Nyonya and the taste was good.

Great experience!! The staff is lovely and gave us time to choose, the food is fresh and tasty. It's not a gourmet restaurant, but it's perfect for sharing a good time with friends.

Thanks for the service. But the food is not really authentic. The roti’s gravy is watery and tasteless, nasi lemak is not what it is supposed to be etc. The food at Wau Restaurant is more representative of Malaysian food (yes, Wau may be 1.5 x more expensive, but it tastes 10x better and real Malaysian). But, thanks again for the service. You tried.

Small, cafe style..very friendly.. Food was very good..tasty, filling.. Recommeded

The Nasi Goreng Nyonya tastes like my mom’s cooking. Very nostalgic and makes me feel like home. Additionally, the Hainanese Chicken was excellent; however, the yellow rice was a bit dry. Still recommended 👌

Omg the best food in Amsterdam!! So so so good. The stuff are very nice as well.

Good food for a good price. No alcohol served. Tip share everything.

Malaysia food is best from here .. originally malaysia food

Best flat noodel ever! LEKKER! Also dogs are ok.

¡Una joya escondida! Fue nuestra primera experiencia gastronómica en Malasia y honestamente, la comida era deliciosa - fue dos veces en un día ! ! 😋 El personal era amable también. Si viviéramos cerca, iríamos todos los días 😅

Fantastic food and a real taste of Malaysia. Highly recommended.

We arrived at the restaurant around 7:55pm. The waiter told us we need to wait 20-25 minutes. Let's come back again. We told her we were willing to wait. During this time, they could always see us waiting at the door. At 8:20, the waiter told us that the kitchen would get off work at 9:00 and we could buy takeout, but we might not be able to dine in. We are very angry. If that's the case, why didn't you tell us earlier? We waited almost 20 minutes to talk? Is this chasing customers? The waitress told us we had to wait for a table around 20-25 min when we arrived the restaurant around 7:55pm. I told her we will wait. And then we waited at the entrance and she could saw us each time when she served the foods and drinks. At 8:20 pm she told us there is no tabel guaranteed because the kitchen will be closed at 9:00 pm. Why did she not tell us when we arrived or anytime when she saw us waiting at the entrance. I have recommended this restaurant to friends but this time I am so disappointed. And I would not go there again.

Great. Authentic chow kuey teow. Ask for Sambal on the side

Cozy restaurant like street food vibe... Love it

I ordered kari bami soup and nyonya soup and WOW it was the best that we had so far. Even better than our country, Malaysia.

We ate there between lunch and dinner so it was very quiet. Hence the stars for atmosphere are a guess. But the rating for the food is no guess. A very tasty laksa. I would eat here again.

Rats running around the restaurant

Great food and friendly service

Amazing authentic Malaysian curry and rice in Amsterdam! Very reasonay priced

Quite a nice restaurant with a varied menu, the staff are very welcoming and the food was a nice surprise. Restaurant atmosphere like at home which brings a warm touch.

The food is good for the price but nothing special, cafe style Malaysian. Perfect for a hangover where you just don't care that much but want some greasy noodles and don't care if you throw them back up! I'm not really selling it but I would return... reluctantly!

I've tried several of the dishes and not a single one fail to satisfy my palate! I particularly love the Hainamese Chicken Rice and Laksa Mee. The place is a bit cramped, but the food is good and the service is fast. Totally worth it!

I ordered chicken wings, but they misheard and brought me Hainanese chicken rice instead, which was 10 euros more expensive when I was just looking for a light snack. There was some awkwardness, and if I had any reason to believe it wasnt an honest mistake, I would have left without touching the dish. I decided to believe that it was a honest mistake, and we agreed that I will pay 5 euros extra instead of the full cost. I'm not sure if there is a proper etiquette for this sort of situation, but paying 5 euros extra for something I didnt order left an impression. It was delicious of course, but I dont think I will be coming back.

Authentic Malaysian food restaurant 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
