Restaurant At James in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Me and my friend had the pan fried chicken dumplings and kimchi, and both our food and our experience here was amazing. Our waiter was so nice and interested, and our food was delicious. Thank you At James for giving us this amazing experience!

James is great. Beer even better!

James was a fantastic server. Very welcoming and has lots good stories to tell. The food was incredible

The food is delicious and decent, the service is friendly, you should try it.

Very good service! Waiter are very nice!

Went here morning, noon and night. Amazing! Staff were very friendly and entertaining. Food was great and drinks were better. Be sure to order a “real” mojito!

Having been to Japan many times, I can confidently say that the ramen served here is the best I've had so far away from the origin of this dish. Every time i sip on the broth, I am transported back to the time where I was in a japanese Izakaya and i felt all the good memories rushing back to me. The atmosphere upstairs in the ramen bar is like a slice taken out of the japanese homeland and placed in this beautiful dutch city for its roots to spread. The staff are also very freindly and arevery fun to talk to. 10 out of 10! Would eat again... preferebly every day!

Absolutely lovely breakfast , service with a smile , great price . My go to place every time I visit James was a great host and waiter thank you James

I join James for breakfast and lunch It was amazing Good food, drinks and atmosphere James very friendly by the way with his guests

Went to Restaurant At James for breakfast food was amazing, great service and very friendly staff! James and Joshua served you with a smile and I enjoyed some beer 🍻 in the sun 😀

James was lovely, he was very funny and welcoming, accommodating to requests and the food was yummy. I would come here again 😌

Visited twice.Brilliant breakfast and good value for money. James was a very good host. Definitely recommend

Always so friendly and welcoming food is always great and service is 1st class👌

We had dinner here our first evening in Amsterdam, the service was very good and James is a very entertaining host - I would recommend for an enjoyable meal.

I really love this place the food the atmosphere everything is amazingg also mehmet james is always wellcoming and cute 🫶🏻✨

Best steak in Amsterdam by far! And the staff are amazing. Would reccomend.

We wanted to eat ramen. The mostly very good reviews (which I find incomprehensible in retrospect) led us to go in. We were somewhat surprised to find that steak and burgers are served in the same restaurant, and that everything comes from the same kitchen. That should have raised a red flag. The ramen portions are large. And they're not completely bad, but they're not really good either, and they only seem to know Asia from a map. The broth is from a packet, and the noodles are rather bland. It really does seem to be a purely touristy place. Anyone who wants to eat (really) good ramen should be prepared to travel a few minutes further. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio isn't right for me either. The staff were friendly.

Great food, friendly staff... Everything was great.

no photos but we had some takeaway gyoza and it was delicious and the service was amazing 5 stars because it’s only a 3.9 rated so would recommend for what i had

Food was average for the price. Service was good. Location was great.

On the first floor is an advertised ramen restaurant. Only when we heard the identical music from the steakhouse below did we realize it was the same place. The menu is laminated like a placemat and can be read quickly: no highlights, no surprises. There were eleven of us. Everyone ordered ramen; the food took quite a while. The waiter only worked on the ground floor and didn't clear the tables promptly. I had to go downstairs and ask if we could pay. From then on, things became awkward and unfriendly. I pointed out that we wanted to pay separately. Nevertheless, he printed out the bill and put it in front of me. When I mentioned that I had already told him this, he became rude and snappy. My impression: pure tourist trap. Better to go to the side streets for more authentic food.

Complete utter waste of money, severely overpriced, barely got 4 bites of meat out of my steak the whole piece was just full of fat throughout never seen a steak as fatty before, stay clear unless you want to spend €100 on absolutely nothing and leave hungry

We went in with me, my friend and our wives. 2 pwoplw ordered drinks and we heard it was mandatory for everyone to buy drinks. Like we got send outside.... Never in my life i witnessed this customer service.

I met the very kind and helpful manager, Mehmet, just after arriving rather early in the day to Amsterdam. He immediately made me feel welcome and at home. I ended up enjoying the English Vegetarian Breakfast, which was not only perfectly made, but expeditiously delivered. The quality of the food is unmatched and exceptional. The food was so good, I ended up choosing to enjoy breakfast each day there for my entire week's long vacation. The service there is swift, with impressive precision, and always with a smile. On my next vacation to Amsterdam, there's no doubt that I'll once again be happily enjoying my breakfasts at the Restaurant at James.

The spare ribs are tender and delicious. Two ribs were enough for us!

Great food and great service. The staff are lovely!

Everything is incredibly expensive and the food is just barely adequate. A large bottle of water costs over 8 euros.

Good food and equally good service. We went for a late breakfast / early lunch. Full English and a drink for under €20, can’t grumble at that! Our food was with us in less than 15 minutes and our waiter was a good laugh too! Would recommend 👍

Breakfast yesterday left a good impression. The food arrived very quickly, and everything was delicious and fresh. I'd especially like to commend the hostess: she greeted us in Latvian, which was nice and made us feel like we were being cared for. Overall, the service was excellent and the breakfast was excellent.

Excellent, affordable restaurant. The all-you-can-eat ribs option was superb. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. A must-try.

The food was delicious and the service was very good.

The last day on a work trip. Great steaks, I've ordered a t bone. A great meal and overall experience to end a trip on.

Better than expected. We had five different dishes, all of which were delicious. The service was friendly and attentive.

We had to wait 40 minutes. Others who came after us (a huge group, at least 25 people!!) were served before us. Drinks tasted like water. The food was okay. When paying, we had to get the manager because she couldn't give us change. Never again.

We had spare ribs, but they weren't anything special: a lot of sauce, and some pieces were even a bit burnt. I didn't mention this at the time. The service was good, but I wouldn't eat here again anytime soon.

Very accommodating and friendly. Ordered special pancakes next door for the kids.

We were here for breakfast, and in that respect, the place is okay. Not great, but it deserves four stars. The food is okay, served relatively quickly, and reasonably priced. The service is also okay.

As I travel back to London we stopped by . While breakfast was finished the amazing chef made my food. Thank you sir amazing kindness 🙏 Def a place worth visiting on your trip in Amsterdam walking distance from station

Superb restaurant with a varied menu. Top-notch service.

The service was beyond my expectations. In my first visit, the waiter kindly suggested me how to use the salt and pepper tools which I was using it in a wrong way. It’s always nice to get unexpected help in a distant place. In my second visit, the waiter remembered me well and also did another surprising service. I ordered one menu and asked to share for two people. I was expecting two sets of utensils only but we received two equivalent set menu, each in half portion. The tastes wasn’t the best I had in Amsterdam, but the service was really impressive.

Had a great steak and great service at this place! Tico was our host and was very welcoming to the city and helpful with advice for first time tourists. I enjoyed my time at this restaurant most out of all the places we ate on our trip, thank you guys!

I ate a steak there. Somehow it doesn't match the price

For the price, avoid at all costs. There's certainly a lot of meat, but it's undercooked. The fried schnitzel was dry, the sauce pouches were carelessly thrown on top of the food, and the waitress was rude. The toilet was a bit tricky; the handle stayed in my hand, luckily the square side was inside. I don't recommend it at all.

Very tasty, thank you very much for the top-notch service. Especially the nice man who met us at the entrance 🙏🏼

We would like to thank Mr. Mehmet for welcoming us at the door and for his service. Menu, service, location are amazing ❤️

A very nice place and the food is very good, very well served by ÁLVARO 😉👍👌

Steak and then espresso were the highlights. And the rest was surprisingly excellent.

if you want to receive your starter a minute before your main course, this is the ideal place...

The food was fine for what it was, but the prices were extortionate. I don't mind paying high prices if I'm getting value for money, but unfortunately not the case with this restaurant. A very small plate of salmon with salad and fries cost €31. It was more akin to a child's portion to be perfectly honest, and put me off ever returning.

I enjoyed the burger, fries and cold beer

Thank you for the best breakfast❤️ Very tasty and quick! Gladly again

The food is good, nice restaurant, friendly and resourceful staff. The Indian waiter is very nice but he needs to learn French!! Kind regards, Maryne

Excellent restaurant right in the center of Amsterdam, with delicious dishes and affordable prices. A superb discovery for eating well without breaking the bank! In addition, the servers are very pleasant. I recommend without hesitation!

The food is below average.. we paid 80 euros for two plates and the overall food experience didn’t satisfy me at all .. the location is good , the waitress are friendly

The white sauce pasta is delicious Very thick, with quite a lot of meat The guy who welcomed us in also said that it was too cold and he could close the door for us. A few bites of spaghetti bolognese with a friend Feels a bit sweet

I came to At' James with my family for my birthday and the food was very tasty and not too pricey except for the drinks, which were expensive. After dinner we received the bill for €150, a little later the boss/workers came to our table and brought a Cheesecake with a candle on it and sang me a birthday song, I was very satisfied.

Great food and nice staff. I can reccomend the unlimited ribs.

First time here in amestardam great food drinks and great staff very friendly specially Mehmet very funny guy welcoming made as feel very welcome 10 out of 10

Very good bolognese bonus points for being able to eat it for breakfast 2 days in a row

Despite the negative reviews, I had good, friendly and attentive service and the food was very tasty. We ordered the most popular dish and were not surprised. The only downside was that they don't serve Coca Cola, but Pepsi Cola, but that was no problem. Regarding the price, it is in a tourist area and therefore within the standards.

Nice little place. The terrace is also heated. Fast & friendly service. The food was good and came quickly.

The food was GREAT! I went for the steak medium well, with delicious pepper sauce, salad and fries. You won't regret it!

Burnt burgers and steak. The atmosphere is like in the kebab shop around the corner

Quiet food, very big place and clean bathrooms. Excellent value for money. €130 4 people

We ordered two Heineken beers 0.5L. I don't really think it was Heineken which they provided me. It was some cheap mixed beer. Additionally the waiter was so rude and his behavior was so horrible towards customers...!

A restaurant that makes racist remarks to customers who pay and leave. Please provide proper training to male employees with beards and mustaches. I visited around 6pm on December 25th. Thanks to you, I was in a good mood on Christmas evening🤮🤮

Super good English breakfast The team was very welcoming! We had a great time on our last day in Amsterdam

The meat is super good, the service is also all u can eat

Nice waiter who was well dressed. Recruiting customers may be strange for Germans, but you can't complain. Food was good and definitely affordable in comparison.

I had a burger. It was a very dry steak and there was no seasoning either. The bun was also really oily and was challenging to make. These comments from a chef student

There is nothing really bad to say about the food, but not really good either. The orders were placed and the food arrived at a reasonable time, but there was almost no other service.

Great location, and only all you can eat ribs around But ribs are pretty dry and bad taste. Owner is loud and kinda bothers others people around him. Waiter I think only care about new customers to take order but the current ones are not well taken care off. And water is 4euro

Caesar Salad & Chicken Pasta. Was very tasty. Friendly staff.

Great spot for a quick beer and lunch. Friendly greeting and Great service. Sit out front and watch the world walk by. Will be back next visit.

Friendly staff good food and reasonably priced. We had spear ribs and king prawns then topped it off with their signature ice cream. We will definitely be back!

A very friendly welcome and service. Decent kitchen

My filet was the worst filet I have ever had, I ordered it cooked medium but what arrived was a burnt piece of leather that tasted like gas. I have never had issues cutting a filet with a steak knife but this steak was so tough it was impossible to cut with a steak knife. There was so much sour cream on the potato that is was ruined. My husband enjoyed his ribs, said they had a nice flavor and were tender. The server was very attentive and the host quickly moved the table next to us to a larger table when there group unexpectedly added a few more guest and thought is would be OK to sit at our table with us. I was very grateful when the host came and insisted they move to a table to could accommodate them. I enjoyed the outside seating.

The chicken schnitzel was wunderbar! Friendly service from our new best friend Rose. Please don’t miss this place! Vanilla ice cream Sunday off the chart!!!

Had English breakfast and it was so delicious! Staff were friendly and kind too!

Absolutely unfriendly and anti-social. 2 people had something to drink and I had to get up because I didn't want anything to drink. Definitely red flag. The owner (I think) is condescending and rude. No thanks

For lunch today we ate 2 menus with grilled fillet and chips: very good! Surprise effect: once at the hotel, we realized that my husband had forgotten his company cell phone. They kept it aside and returned it to us. A thousand thanks!

The service was good, but the food was not. The chicken schnitzel was very greasy and had a lot of breadcrumbs, it looked like a biscuit. The steak was tough and cold, we asked for medium but apparently medium is well done here. If you indicate this, it will be said that this is normal. Definitely not worth the money! 3 hours later, 2/3 people received another surprise, a major stomach ache..👍🏼

Small but friendly restaurant. We sat on the upper level looking over the restaurant, We both ordered Steak with fries. The steak was very nice and cooked as we wanted, the fries wasn’t the best leaving us wishing that we had ordered the Steaks with Jacket potatoes. The tomato sauce and mayo came in sachets like you would get in a canteen which just seemed a bit unprofessional as it’s not canteen priced food. The staff were super friendly and attentive and we were looked after well. Thank you guys.

We went there for a quick lunch and had fish and chips with my mum and my boyfriend had steak baguette. The sandwich was good, but we had bad food poisoning after fish. We felt odd straight after eating it but few hours later it became much worse. The worst thing is that it was just before my mum’s flight back. The service is good, but food very risky depending on what you order I guess ….

Fast and delicious food, reasonable prices and very friendly service. They also pet friendly ❤️

Coloured guy last Friday night very rude , he should not work in public .

Worst experience ever, the manager and workers there are totally racist with us! Saying that we should not go to eat outside if we can not speak English. They started to yell at us just because we wanted to divide the recipe. Totally disrespectful then when we told them to stop yelling they were yelling “I’m not yelling” like how can they threat customers date way. And if were not use to this kind of yelling we shiuld go back to iur country

Friendly and fairly fast service. Food quality was good. On the negative side, inside there is little space between tables, so the separation with the diners at the next table is minimal. We asked for water and they brought us a 200 ml bottle at an exorbitant price.

Went to this restaurant twice for English breakfast. Staff very attentive and friendly and breakfast was excellent. Willing to swap black pudding for extra hash browns.

Efficient, good service, deliciously cooked!

Very bad price-performance ratio. This is not a restaurant, but a snack bar. All finished products that lie carelessly on the plate!

Not really worth eating here - it’s only for tourists and really low level standard foot. The only thing you want to go there is to maybe have a drink at the small terrace in front

Excellent friendly service, James provided a really positive and happy environment. Never experienced a place to friendly!

During my short visit to Amsterdam, I felt like eating my favorite English breakfast. Walking along the main promenade from the station towards the center, I found this place. I ordered without looking at the menu and got what I wanted. This is how you can start your day! Thank you!

I don't understand all the negative recessions. There were 4 of us and the food was great. Everyone is very satisfied and the prices were also very ok for Amsterdam city center.

The best service very good food well done!!!

Awesome!! After not receiving a nice welcome at a restaurant next door, a friend and I had dinner here. We have already been here in the summer. And we were very pleased with it again! Nice, man knows how to speak almost every language. Good food, nice and warm inside. Excellent. Until next time!

The food tasted strange, the waiter threw the bottles on the table and the atmosphere wasn't really nice.

Fresh product but flavorless meat. Pleasant service, price around 17 euros per dish. With room for improvement.

My sister and I had the Spare- Ribs (spicy) served with fries and salad. The ribs were tender and delicious, and I will recommend to anyone looking for a restaurant in Amsterdam central😊 Faysal, the staff who attended to us was also very friendly. The service here is good and welcoming.
