Sichuan Taste in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

I went here twice. Yesterday and today. I will go back again tomorrow for the braised pork belly which is very delicious. Yesterday i tried also the Pork Bao which was very tasty as well. 😋

The Sichuan Spicy Dumplings were delicious! The people were nice!

They were out of buns except for the veggie one and I tried it. The dough is nice but I thought the contents were a bit plain. Also the sauce was not my fav. Might come to try the others. You can sit inside by the window, that was nice.

The dumplings was amazing! Great hot sauce, and the bao buns was worth it!

Cute little place, loved sitting in the warm eating the most delicious prawn wonton soup I have ever had. Beautiful big juicy prawns in a soft wrapper with a flavourful broth. Absolutely perfect. The chef was kind, nice natured and efficient and the lady at the counter was lovely and helpful too.

Bao was a bit meh… bread wasn’t amazing and neither was the filling

Got a super tasty sandwich! Friendly gentleman :)

I have gotten dumplings here 4 times now. The first 2 times were delicious; soft, warm dumplings, well-seasoned, and the sauce was delicious and slightly spicy. The last 2 times, the dough was tough (white in most places), the filling was a lump and not really warm, and the sauce was also less tasty, lacking flavor and completely lacking in spice. It's a shame, because the first two times I could definitely say they were the best dumplings I had ever had (I wouldn't be coming back for the last 2 times); the last few times they were made by the same man, and I suspect he takes the dumplings out of the water too quickly (microwave water and assembling was done within 3 minutes). 5 stars for the first 2 times, but the last 2 weren't really worth 3.

The food wasn't top quality, but it tasted good. The staff is friendly, but sometimes they forget orders, which then aren't delivered.

Small, unassuming restaurant with authentic Chinese food. Highly recommended!

honestly don’t know why I loved it this much but I do

Quite possibly the best Sichuan food i’ve ever had. 100/10

Best Bao buns we have EVER had!!! The other food is incredible too!!!!

On the first day of travelling here, I forgot to fill the power bank in the hotel, so the mobile phone was out of power and there was no place to charge it. There was only one charging cable on my body. Because the electronic train ticket back to the hotel was in the mobile phone, I was very anxious. The boss kindly borrowed my charging head and showed me where to buy it. I was very impressed. Thank you for your kind boss! Otherwise, I won't be able to take the train tonight.

The bapao had no taste and was not tasty.

Really tasty Bao Baos. Quick service and kind staff. Althought be aware when eating the Bao Baos that there is paper attached to it on the bottom.

Best dumplings I’ve ever had in my life!!! No one does it better than Sichuan Taste 10/10

I was eating today pork and chicken Dumplings and I have to say that these were the best thing I ever ate🤩 also the service was really good!

Absolutely wonderful food and reasonably priced. This is an underrated gem in this area. We had a nice meal at the restaurant a few days back. The dumplings were tasty, spicy (as requested) and had awesome flavors. It does not have the best ambience but the awesome food covers for it. Will surely recommend this place.

The taste is normal, but not very friendly.

So so so bland and no taste. Chili sauce is not even remotely spicy. The young Asian/Wasian guy working there (without the beard) is the rudest person I’ve ever met, even to his own colleagues.

The bao was very tasty. It’s uncomfortable to sit inside. I wanted to order a scallion pancake and the cashier told me they don’t have it, even though it was on the card. 5min later when I was eating my Baozi another customer got a scallion pancake, I don’t understand… 🫥

Stay away from Sichuan and go celebrate your February Moon Festival.

unbelievably tasty! Insider tip handmade tumblings!

They clearly stated they wanted chicken, not pork. But when I opened the bag on the way home, it was pork, and even the buns were pork.

Great place, always come here every time I visit Amsterdam. Simple and very tasty food at a very reasonable price. Enjoyed eating the wonton soup, dumplings and more. Highly recommend. On the surface it looks like a simple place but the flavors are great.

From the outside, the place honestly looks like something you'd rather walk past than go in. Big mistake – luckily we didn't. The dumplings were absolutely delicious: fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and exactly how you'd want them. Authentic, honest, and no-nonsense. The food is served exclusively in cardboard trays – but that doesn't detract from the experience at all. On the contrary: the focus is clearly on the taste, and it's absolutely fantastic. In short: Don't be fooled by the exterior or the simple presentation. If you're looking for fantastic dumplings, this is the place to go. Five stars well deserved. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The guys were friendly and helpful. Food was cooked fresh as you ordered.

Really kind staff and very delicious food! We took the Peking Duck Sandwich and the dumplings

Freshly made and very delicious!

I was walking by and saw a rat walking inside the restaurant, just zoom in.

I am absolutely obsessed with this place now… I came here this afternoon for the first time, and I got the wonton soup. It was absolutely amazing, lots of flavor!! The guys working there were also really kind! I will definitely be coming back.

First of all I want to say that the food was delicious, I ordered the original dumpling (8pc) fried dumplings (8pc) and one bow. everything was great an tasty and fresh. the original one's are my favorite. just one thing keep in mind there's not a lot of sitting place. and no tables, its more suitable for takeaways or eating while standing.

The red oil wontons are sweet, with absolutely no spiciness. They've really adapted to local customs too thoroughly...

Best dumplings and baos! Highly recommended!

Tried this Sichuan-style bapao today and wow — the flavor slaps. The bun is super soft and fluffy, and the filling hits you with that perfect mix of chili heat and numbing Sichuan pepper. 🥵🌶️ It’s got that deep, rich spice that builds up but still lets you taste all the garlicky, savory goodness inside. Kinda addictive, not gonna lie. 😋

Authentic Sichuan dumplings. A Sichuanese review: The wonton dumplings are authentic and highly praised.

The staff is super friendly and the 包子 is 10/10 !

One of the best chinese on the Zeedijk. The peking menu's are something else! Superb.

I had 0 expectations, but to be honest the Pork bao was amazing. Lot of flavor and well stuffed.

super quick, tasty and convenient 10/10 for price, portion and taste

The pancake with pork ears made my day!!!

The food was delicious, especially the baozi buns. But unfortunately, the service spoiled the experience. More than half of the dishes were not available, despite the fact that it was a weekday morning. We had to wait a long time for our order, although there were few customers. The staff mixed up our order, but then corrected it. I don’t think I’ll be back again.

Superb Sichuan flavors! Highly recommended if you're in Amsterdam!

Great place to catch the local vibes and get a tasty warm soup

Bao and panfried dumplings with the homemade sauce were delicious!!!

I waited an hour for bao, even though the waiter said it would take 20 minutes!! The service was not friendly and the place was not clean. I do not recommend it.

Cold noodles would be better if they were warm, there is no place to sit, it's dirty

To be honest, the bao I brought was probably the worst I have ever had anywhere. Tasteless, undercooked and cold. Won’t be returning

I had a pork bao, it was very good

Convenient pick up for Sichuan food. It is so tasty and nice people to serve. Vegetarian dumpling and bun are the best. Highly recommended.

Summary: affordable and good snacks! best to order food to go because seating is not very comfortable and quite limited. I ordered the vegetable pancake (8€) and the spicy wonton soup (8€). I really enjoyed the vegetable pancake because it was flavourful with the umami, sichuan peppers and chilis. It’s not spicy if anyone is wondering😅 I liked the soup a lot less because the broth didn’t have a taste, I think they forgot to add the flavor since they just opened when I ordered. The wontons were yummy tho, freshly made as well. I got my food within 10-15mins of ordering so it wasn’t so bad. Especially because they cooked it on the spot. I sat inside with a small stool and used the bank as a table, so it might not be very comfortable for most. And there was no fan, so it turned out very hot inside. I will come back to this place definitely!

Stopped for lunch this weekend and had to have the hand made spicy sizchuan dumplings. A portion of 8, handcrafted in front of you, spicy tasty dumplings for 9.5 euros is not to be beaten. Deliciously fresh, with spring onions, soy based dressing and lovely seasoned meat. My cousin had the sizchuan salad pancake with pot sticker dumplings. Salad was spicy and fresh, and the dumplings perfectly cooked. Would visit again in a heartbeat - thank you

Local vibe just like in China, the food is authentic and very tasty 😋 worth the visit!!!

Today, I found a “stone” in my bao. I was told it was a peppercorn, but to my knowledge, peppercorns are round, not triangular in shape. It was very hard to bite into, and it slightly hurt my tooth. I was also told that if I bit it, it would “explode” because it was a peppercorn—but nothing happened when I tried, which made me think it might actually have been a stone. I didn’t proceed trying as I don’t want to break my teeth. Additionally, yesterday I ordered two chicken baos and one pork bao. Today, I placed the same order, but the fillings seemed to have been swapped—the one that was pork yesterday became chicken today, and vice versa. As a result, I couldn’t tell which flavor I ended up eating. This could be a serious issue for someone who avoids pork and specifically requests chicken, but then receives the wrong filling.

Do do you have chicken? Yes. After I payed. No sir, we do not have. Respect your customer, be honest !

Absollutelly amazing! The cold noodles were very very tasty.

Lovely food, filling, with an alright price for Amsterdam central area, good service

Cool place where you can eat a big Pelmen.

Unfortunately the dumplings were dry, super dry, the owners son/person told me it’s because I was eating the paper. I told the person whom I have no idea whom they are (probably owners son) I said I spent time in Shanghai and this is not how they should be, he said that this type of dumpling are not from Shanghai they are from different part of China, so I have no idea what I’m taking about……interesting considering I travel to Shanghai, Beijing, shenzen, wuhan(covid19) Guangzhou Hongkong (pretend China) , oh where else… and I have no idea….. Your dumpling case is dry, take some constructive criticism.

Amazing food!! Don’t go there for the looks go there for the taste. The sichuan sandwich and dumplings are keepers

Chicken wonton soup spicy, was not spicy and had no taste. Very bad.

After ordering, I notice that the place was dirty. I threw the food

I got the bao and salad combo. The salad was tasty but would be better warm, and if served as a salad some coriander or leaf going through it would be my personal preference, however there were quite a few bones and cartilage running through it. I also had the pork bao but unfortunately was quite dry and the service is quite slow.

I think the deliciousness of this restaurant lies in the effective use of Japanese pepper. The wonton soup was so delicious that I ate it two days in a row. Even with the pepper inside the wontons, it's really delicious. The chili oil on the counter was very fragrant and added a nice accent, so I ate it while pouring it over the steamed meat buns. Even though it's only a take-out and counter restaurant, I was so impressed by how delicious it was that I stopped by three times during my one-week stay in Amsterdam. I usually live in Warsaw, where the ramen is of a high standard, but the Chinese food is not, so I was glad that there was a full Chinatown here. The workers have a scary look on their faces, but they're attentive and tell me to be careful because it's hot, and give me a tray of steamed buns. Recommended when you are tired of Western food. It seemed like a lot of locals were stopping by as well. There were probably about 6 wontons in the wonton soup, which felt like enough. The xiao long bao was also handmade in the store. I would have eaten it if I had more time~ Anyway, it's easy and delicious, so I highly recommend it. The meat buns have a fluffy skin, and the filling is sweet and rich in flavor. Whatever it is, it's delicious! I would even come back to Ams again just to go to Chinatown.

I ordered the “spicy” shrimp wonton soup, but it wasn’t spicy at all. It missed flavour in general.

This food was great, we had the bao buns.

This is not a sit-down restaurant, but a place for takeout or grabbing a quick bite. I had the sliced beef noodle and pancake with vegetables. Points for improvement: the noodles were overcooked and I wish there was more beef (then it would have been a really comforting dish); the pancake was yummy but it could have been warmer. Overall a good place for a quick bite but for sure they can improve.

Not a lot of seating space but great!

I love this place, the bao’s are amazing and the wanton too 🤩 highly recommended!

Crazily knew that 9,5€ only 4 small pieces of wanton (schrimp flavor) when it was serving to the table. No indication on menu, no picture to show the actual size. Even with speaking Chinese here, feel like a trap to disguise the actual portion and make the way much money than it costs. First time, but also last time!!!

De Sichuan meat salad is the best. They look very spicy, but not! So for me is perfect. Nice that we can mix all the meat in 1 small box €8,5. Xiao long bao 6 small peaches €15. It tastes very fresh. Wait 13 minutes for steaming, it is worth waiting for it. For the meat definitely I will come back!

Sorry… as an Asian person, the Bao is not nice (and im saying it politely). Barely any chicken filling and the texture of the Bao is sticky and not fluffy how it should be

super good dumplings, soup and baos - lots of flavours and fairly priced!

The Beijing duck sandwich is one of the tastiest sandwiches in the city.

Kind service, amazing food. Genuinely one of the best steamed bao we ever had. The only downside is the lack of nice places to sit down and eat, but I feel eating these on a stool is part of the experience. We will certainly go back to try other foods on the menu.

Very delicious dumplings! Everything is handmade and with a target for quality! Worth to try!

took 30 minutes to cook 6 dumplings for one person. No service at all

Tasty dumplings! Quite a long wait..

Very friendly people, tasty food for a quick meal

The boa filling was drier than I had hoped for.

Delicious bapao, both chicken and pork are a good choice!

always yummy and the staff is nice

Great food. Person taking my order was actually on his phone the entire time. Impressive, but a little annoying.

Decent menu, well priced and fairly quick. Better for take away as the inside isnt really suited for eat in. The food itself was delicious and tasted very close to authentic. Would come again

Delicious dumplings but guys be honest and transparent with your visuals. You have Bok Choy in your imagery for the won ton dumpling soup for instance. Even on the creative wall display you have it featured inside the dish. If it won’t be in the actual dishes remove it from the visuals. It’s misleading.

I have had duck sandwich and spicy dumplings and they are very good, it is a good place to eat something quick, the prices are reasonable

I had the chicken wonton soup and it was sooo amazing and fresh !! I loved it and hope I lived in Amsterdam to get to eat it often !

Noodles made fresh in front of you. Simple, authentic and tasty Chinese food.

Best dumplings I have had since forever. Freshly made and deliciously spiced. So good that I went for a second round.

Takes forever to be ready, but the Beijing duck sandwich is great!!

Incredible dumplings - would also give 6 stars if I could. Best Chinese food in a long time!

Great local spot! The buns and pan fried are *chefs kiss*

We were served the wrong boa buns. They were so dry bland and one was frozen in the middle. You get 10 times better from the grocery store. The sichuan sauce was empty for the whole time we were there. Don’t bother!

Horrible Boa buns. Disgrace for Chinese food. Bao was heated in microwave and still frozen solid on the inside 😭

Tried the bao, it was horrible. Frozen on the inside and tasted of nothing. Would not recommend. Just buy one at the supermarket for 1 eu, those are better.

Not only was the wrong food served, but the taste was not authentic. The so-called Sichuan food was sweet and the buns were frozen. I would rather buy them at the supermarket and heat them up at home.

This is just a fantastic place, great food, authentically Chinese. Been here several times, will come again.

Duck sandwich is amazing. Perfect balance between sweet, sour, savoury and some spice.

Braised duck sandwich is nice, filling and juicy. Bit on the pricey side, but worth the try! Friendly personnel and chill vibes.
