Restaurant Jun Indonesian Cuisine in Frederik Hendrikbuurt

I wish I could give 10 stars- the best meal we’ve ever had in Amsterdam. Incredible service and delightful dishes. We were blown away by the flavors, textures, and dishes. Highly recommend a rice table! You have a chance to try multiple delightful dishes. The drinks were lovely and we even indulged in dessert. The sorbet and espresso martini were fantastic. They did an exceptional job with my gluten allergy (gluten free/ celiac)- words cannot describe their thoughtfulness and care. Plus it was truly delicious- warming our soul. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you to the lovely owner!

They first refused to let us share a dish when we told them we weren't very hungry (the restaurant was almost empty). They then forced us to have main courses, and then they refused us a carafe of water in favor of (theirs) a bottle of mineral water. The food was pretty good and plentiful but not extraordinary either. It probably wasn't worth €37 per dish, it had no taste. So a bill of €105 for three, without dessert, coffee, or alcohol... well, it's a no. And don't tell me that this price is normal for Amsterdam because we've eaten much better elsewhere for that price.

Kind people, good food, OPTIONS, what else do you need

We had reservations for 6 persons, 3 big eaters, and 2 light eaters. And a medium. We entered and ordered 4 orders of rice table, and some wine and appetizers, intending to save a bit of room for desert. This was unexceptionable to them, as they insisted we all order main dishes regardless of what we wanted to eat. We left, and will not return. The food may be good or bad, but in a restaurant I wish to choose what I will eat . I do not wish to be forced to waste food. Food wastage is a problem in society, and environmentally, and I choose not to do that , at home or out and about. I will order what I think I will eat, and more if still hungry after I eat it.

The food is good, but Indonesian food in Amsterdam was so emphasized that I expected something a bit more substantial and refined. But dining isn't just about consuming food; it's an event, an experience, and that's what the people and service around you make. The service is professional, warm, and friendly; you're welcome to be a guest here. Thank you for a lovely evening.

LOVED my experience here! I had the choice menu and it was delicious. My favorite was the Soto Ayana, the Ikan sambal goreng peteh, and Julie urap. The flavors are insanely good! My server was so helpful and nice, I really had a great experience.

I absolutely love this place! Easily the best Indonesian food I’ve ever tried in Amsterdam. The service is warm and attentive, and the rice table is a must-try. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Indonesian cuisine at its finest.

For us the best Indonesian restaurant in town! Both food and service are top!

Forget the Indonesian food that you can usually get at the average Chinese restaurant on the corner. At Jun you get incredibly tasty and truly refined Indonesian food on your plate(s). You can even sit outside on the busy but cozy Frederik Hendrikstraat where all kinds of things pass by. Service is accurate, friendly and not at all pushy. Good acoustics and great chairs. Not too busy on a weekday when I came by with two former colleagues. Prices are reasonable, we paid 37 euros per person for the basic rice table. But with everything included 65 pp (including several Bintang and Chang beers, dessert, coffee with spekkoekje plus tip). In retrospect, we would have liked to have taken the more expensive rice tables because the basic rice table is not that extensive. We would have liked to eat a bit more of it, it was that tasty. But hey, everything was eaten clean and the staff did not have to throw anything away. We did get some rice on request. Definitely worth coming back for, but then for the more extensive rice table.

A restaurant a little off the tourist circuit. We were a family of six and after having difficulty understanding the menu, we realized that we had to take a menu with rice and side dishes for €37 per person. My mother, who was not very hungry, initially asked not to eat, but was told that she had to have a 30€ dish. She asked if she could have a starter and dessert instead (which was the same price) and was told that was not possible. In the end she received her dish and it wasn't even the one ordered originally... the food arrived and it was lots of different portions to share, there wasn't enough for the five people ordered. Small positive point, we could ask for more rice as much as we wanted. The food was good, but not excellent especially for €37 per person… no possibility of having a carafe of water without having ordered paid drinks before… addition to €237 per 6 people and not even small desserts on the menu given the price… Conclusion: rather disappointing value for money.

Had a nice evening, as the opening line of the menu says great Indonesian flavours and hospitality. The service matched that with very friendly staff, for me the food had good flavour but lacked a little punch and the presentation wasn’t quite matching that finer experience. Feedback on the menu, it could be simplified, the set menu’s needed some explaining, we ended up going for a set menu as we couldn’t agree on a combo. Also, only allowing tap water orders when a drink Is purchased is unnecessary. So I gave a 4/5, go give these guys a shout for mid week date night and you’ll be happy you did.

Very nice and friendly people serving excellent food!

Nunca he tenido comida indonesia antes. ¡Qué buena experiencia! El surtido de platos ( 4 ) con la mesa de arroz fue generoso e interesante. Encontré la carne de res, con curry en ella un poco demasiado caliente para mí hasta que la combiné con las verduras frescas encurtidas y eso equilibró perfectamente el calor. Empezaron con su rollo de huevo, de nuevo, bueno y diferente. En resumen, ¿volveríamos, ABSOLUTAMENTE! Perfecto anoche en Amsterdam.

Pedimos la mesa de arroz y disfrutamos mucho. No suelo comer carne, pero el rendang de ternera era tan increíblemente sabroso que no podía dejar de comer! Lo mismo sucede con Ayam bagar Palembang y casi con todo lo demás. Muy recomendable!

If you want to be pampered in an Indian way, this is the place for you

Restaurant a little outside the “tourist route”, so you have to go looking for it, but it’s well worth it! Among the different choices, there is the possibility of taking the formula allowing you to share small dishes, to taste everything. The cuisine is truly excellent. The service is impeccable and responsive, the staff is very kind. I recommend.

Decepcionante. El rijstaffel era bastante aburrido y el servicio increíblemente lento. Esperamos más de una hora por los platos principales y no fueron muy interesantes. También había demasiado para 2 personas y odiamos el desperdicio!

An absolute gem of a restaurant, highly recommend Jun. Amazing flavors, excellent service and a fabulous owner who truly cares about his guest’s experience. I live in Canada and will be there Friday for my fourth visit. (Twice this trip).

The food is amazing and adding to that is the super friendly staff and service. Really enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend!

I canceled my reservation at my arrival time because I was stuck in the parking lot and didn't want to keep the restaurant waiting unnecessarily. 1/2 hour later, I received this. Needless to say, I won't set foot there.

Comimos aquí en la noche de Navidad e hice la reserva con mucha antelación por correo electrónico, y las comunicaciones eran excelentes. Reservé este lugar porque quería rijsttafel, y las críticas aquí eran mejores que la mayoría. El servicio fue genial, el restaurante se ve muy bien. Era muy caro para lo que era. Como éramos cuatro, nuestros 3 mains venían en platos grandes para ser compartidos. Quizás sea algo gordo americano, pero sólo había comida suficiente para servir 3 , así que las porciones eran demasiado pequeñas, sobre todo porque era 36 euros por persona. Además, nunca indiqué un nivel de especias, asumiendo que sería medio picante, especialmente porque el restaurante estaba dirigido por indonesios y un poco fuera de la zona turística. Aunque todos los platos eran sabrosos, un poco de calor habría sido bienvenido. Simplemente nos fuimos hambrientos, y no pudimos evitar pensar que si solo fuéramos tres, ¿nos habrían servido la misma cantidad de comida?

Great food and fantastic service! What a warm atmosphere. 10/10! Will definitely come back, with great pleasure.

Empresa familiar cálida y amable que ofrece una gran selección de comida deliciosa! El menú de la mesa de arroz da una muestra de todo y era fantástico.

It was our first time eating indonesian food and it was very good. Service was friendly and helpful with choosing the right dishes for us. Everything tasted fresh and was delicious

Really excellent meal last night. Every dish was delicious and the staff was extraordinary, from the server to the host to the chef. Highly recommend.

We shared a rice table. Everything was super good. The staff is very attentive. Great time.

¡Qué fantástico restaurante para probar todos los deliciosos platos de la cocina indonesia! Tuvimos un Rijstaffel tradicional - excelente. Combinado con un gran servicio, una experiencia memorable!

No habíamos probado la cocina indonesia antes y estábamos muy satisfechos por nuestra experiencia en este restaurante : la comida era deliciosa y el personal muy agradable y profesional.

Perfect place. Impecable attentive friendly service. Amazing food. Chilled atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Refined and surprising cuisine! The balance between the spices is excellent and the service is very attentive. A treat! A fine and surprising cuisine! The balance in the spices were amazing, and the service has so much care for their customers. We had a wonderful moment!

Outstanding rice table! Superb service, great decor and location in western Amsterdam.

It was absolutely delicious. The flavor is hard to describe. It is unique. The service was fabulous. Try this place.

Wij aten een heerlijke rijsttafel hier: enkele schalen met goede, gevarieerde en authentieke Indonesische gerechten. Sommige lekker pittig. Nette porties. Prima bediening, maar jammer dat er niemand afscheid kwam nemen. Interieur wat saai. Betaald parkeren in de straat.

Super friendly service, cozy sitting with flowers and a candle. Delicious snack (prawn crackers), good cocktails and rice as you please. 💛

Quiet atmosphere, ambience relaxed and modern, food very tasty. The dumplings are particularly recommended, peanut sauce is a poem! Reservations make sense, only about 30 places, well booked.

The restaurant has such a nice ambience and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. And of course the food was so delicious. We ordered the vegetarian rijstaffel, and everything was flavorful with a great variety of dishes. We could each determine our own chili level by adding extra on our own, which was great, as some in our party preferred it mild, and some more spicy. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We came earlier than expected for the reservation (1 hour), they let us walkin and sit instantly. We had good advice from the server and the menu for 2 with the extras was awsome, we really enjoyed the food and the service. This is a must try indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam, thanks !

Very good! We recommend dishes to share accompanied by rice. The staff is very kind and attentive.

Having been here before, they hit it out of the ballpark! We opted for the extended rijsttafel #.2 so about 12 plus dishes including a dumpling appetizer. If you like spicy ask for the spicy version - if you are sharing, the sambals will adjust the liveliness of the dish.

In de top 10 van beste Indonesische restaurant? Ik zeg nee. De sotosoep was lekker maar de rest van de rijsttafel was flauw en commercieel gericht. Te weinig bumbu en de rendang was niet mijn ding. Wij zijn beter gewend en smaakvoller. Ga aub terug naar het originele gerecht en hou het bij het origineel.

A great place in Amsterdam If you feel Like eating something healthy and tasty.We we're very satisfied and the owner were very friendly . We had a great chat As well. A perfect night😍🙏

Had a spectacular traditional rice table dinner. Sat outside on a beautiful day, the staff were spectacular and very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed some cocktails that were delicious and all the food was perfectly prepared. I would highly recommend taking the trip from Central Amsterdam out to here for a wonderful meal outside of the busy tourist area.

Neighborhood spot with incredible friendly staff. Food is amazing ask for spicy !

Great food, very flavorful. Excellent service staff, friendly and very accommodating. Well air-conditioned, somewhat simply decorated but everything was clean. We recommend!

Very pleasant and smiling staff, very good meal, very generous attention.

Highly recommend making reservations for dinner. We had Rice Table 2.

We didn’t enjoy our experience at all at this place. Service was awful. Food was too little amount and pretty plain. We had to sit outside, and the atmosphere was noisy and dusty. And finally, way too expensive for what we got. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place. Stay away.

Very good food with many sharing options. Ideal to try Indonesian cuisine.

Mediocre taste not original Indonesian overpriced for me and too small portion definitely overrated

Very well received, very good cuisine

Dark secrets lie hidden in this restaurant.

Excellent Indonesian restaurant! We didn't have reservations, but we were lucky to get a last minute spot. Very warm welcome, attentive and professional staff 👍 We recommend with our eyes closed!! Thanks to the entire Jun team.

We had the delicious rice table #2 for two tonight. Fun and flavorful. The service was spot on.

Four of us had the most amazing dinner here yesterday. We shared the Ricetable 1 menu, which was nicely cooked, presented and above all delicious. Jun, the owner/chef was friendly and efficient as were the other staff. We would also say the entire experience represented excellent value for money. Thoroughly recommended….

Excellent Indonesian! The best we've tried in years. Warm and pleasant welcome. A little far from the center but well served by transport Varied menu with traditional dishes. Very good rendering. Price within the norm. A very good address, we will come back during our next visit to Amsterdam.

We got Rice table 2, including beef, sea bass, chicken and prawn. The food was delicious and original for our first Indonesian kitchen experience. The price was also good for the amount of food.

Truly one of the best restaurants we visited on a recent trip to Amsterdam--so delicious and welcoming that we went back for a second dinner. The owner and staff are beyond attentive. The food is superb. Wish they had a branch nearby me in the US! This would be an excellent visit for any tourist looking to try Indonesian food while on holiday. Be sure to make a reservation!

I've never eaten Indonesian food before eating Jun's so I can't compare it other Indonesian restaurants. I can say eating at Jun's was a unique and enjoyable experience. I had the Rice Table #1 with Bintang beer. All the food was very tasty. Jun is very personal and welcoming. His staff are really the best. I would definitely go back if I'm ever in Amsterdam again.

One of the best food in my life. Highly recommend

what do you mean you MUST order a main course?

Such a nice choice for Indonesian food. I think the prices are a bit towards the high end but the quality and flavor of the food is great. The atmosphere is very relaxed and calm to have a nice conversation over dinner. I would recommend it!

A very friendly place thanks to a smiling and dynamic team. The menu is complicated, but very good food.

Had a delicious rice table take-away on New Year's Eve for 11 people. We had also indicated 2x nut allergies. Everyone loved it!

Really cozy, with a great home cooking feel and amazing food. The staff were very friendly

Super delicious food! Very, very great atmosphere! And the friendliest, most competent restaurant I've ever eaten in! Absolute recommendation!!

Un restaurant authentique à tous points de vues. 😍🙏

I was here with an internationally mixed group of people who were all extremely enthusiastic about the quality of the food. Service is very pleasant and atmosphere is unique.

Ge-wel-dig!! Heerlijk eten en supervriendelijke bediening. Ze hebben plezier in hun werk en vinden het belangrijk dat je als gast tevreden naar huis gaat. En dat gingen wij zeker. De sate kambing was heerlijk en de gebakken tofu ook. De rendang is lekker mals en top van smaak. Dit was de eerste maar zeker niet de laatste keer dat we hier hebben gegeten. Dikke aanrader!

We ate a Rijsttafel and had a dessert to share. Everything was really delicious. The team was very happy and we had the feeling that they really enjoyed working! We felt super welcome and the the atmosphere was great. Would go there again!

Delicious and wonderfully hospitable, friendly staff - such conviviality, will be back again and again!

Some of the best Indonesian food I've out outside of, well, Indonesia. Friendly service, fantastic array of dishes (veggie or otherwise) and generous amounts of food. Would recommend!

Had a street dinner here and were able to try so much food! We did the choice menu and tried a plethora of things. I recommend trying a lot of different things. Overall the food was tasty but nothing too spectacular.

super leckeres Essen, wir hatten alle Reistafel. Und alle MitarbeiterInnen so guter Laune, das war ein wunderbarer Abend:-)

Finally a restaurant where the owner cares about the quality of the food and most off all good service. This is not your standard indonesian food place but well balanced flavors and most of all only fresh ingredients! Best indonesian restaurant experience in years! Well worth paying a visit and the owner/chef gives everyone personal attention and really cares. in one word great!

We had a fantastic time at Jun! We had the vegetarian Rijsttafel and it was very delicious! The staff is also very friendly, we enjoyed our time there very much. Reservation is recommended.

I always come here for Indonesian food. Great restaurant and food!

Very delicious food and warm, welcoming staff. Little bit out of the centre but interesting neighbourhood to visit and worth it.

Both the food and the service were excellent. They adjust the spice level very well, depending on your preference. The rice table was delicious.

Everything was perfect! Delicious dishes and excellent service. We were three and had the rice table 1 plus chicken soup and dumplings as starters. I super recommend it!

The food was great, very tasty but not spicy. First time for us to eat Indonesian food and we loved it very much. The people who served us were very nice as well. Will highly recommend on this restaurant.

Great experience. Tiny, tidy, white table cloth dining room. Very big flavors from their rice table menu. All the little dishes came out one or two at a time. Piping hot and fresh. Good simple wines available to enjoy with your meal. We had a great night!

Loved the soup. Not my favourite type of food but it was good.

Si le service est très sympathique et attentionné, la cuisine était décevante, notamment parce que la Rice table manquait de diversité. Nous attendions une douzaine au moins de petits plats. Le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas bon

Had the most fabulous night here. The staff are so attentive and fun. The food was delicious, could not fault. I have an anaphylactic allergy and Eddie, owner and chef came out to talk to be before serving the food which is so appreciated. Highly recommend a visit .

I used to love this place but was sadly a bit disappointed by the food. Staff was nice.

Kids rate only applies to less than 12 year olds. This was never explained to us. When we pointed out what we thought was a mistake in our bill, the waitress responded very bluntly “well you didn’t ask”. Since when is a 12-year old child considered by default as an adult? Convenient lack of clarity / transparency on their menu. They made no accommodations for the misunderstanding or expressed any regret. So 4 stars for an honest meal, but very poor grade on the service and overall attitude of the owner.

Tasty vegetarian rice table - we called to make a reservation and they kindly accommodated us. The staff were very friendly - would recommend!

Une cuisine délicieusement époustouflante faite par des personnes adorables !

On y mange très très bien, cuisine Indonésienne traditionnelle. Goûtez au Rijstafel, assortiment de plusieurs plats de légumes, viandes et poissons. Le chef est très sympa!

Fresh, superb flavours. Really tasty over all. Chef Edy really creates a wonderful eating experience

Great, tasteful food and welcoming service. Had the 3 course vegetarian menu with spicy tofu, aubergine and yellow rice. Really well seasoned and tasty. The black rice pudding desert was great as well, but the baked banana was the highlight. Really kind owner and overall a great experience! I will definitely come back.
