What a lovely place 🥰 After long walk decided stop at the first restaurant for the quick snack🥨 End up with the full lunch 🍛🍝🍕🍷🍺 😁 Looks entrance from the street, but lots of tables with the view to the canal. 🚣♂️ Little surprise 🫢 Amazing stuff 💑, brilliant kitchen sheff 👨🍳, cozy atmosphere 🏡
A nice and popular Suriname restaurant in the middle of Amsterdam. It serves various authentic foods and beverages which reminds me of my home country-Indonesia. The satay was tender with nice sweet peanut sauce. The food portion were really big, that I think we can share for 2-3 people. The price is very reasonable.
Very good burger and fries. I ordered the classic old school combo with a drink (I paid approximately €17). I'll definitely be back to try another one.
Great coffee, one of the tastiest cappuccinos in Amsterdam, delicious croissants, and super sweet and friendly staff. Special thanks to Carla for a super relaxing Sunday morning 😊
And of course, 5 stars for Karel the cat 😼
Today, for the umpteenth time, I had to wait an absurdly long time to order something.
Then I had to wait at least as long for a few cups of coffee, and then I finally left.
It was moderately busy, there were plenty of staff, but the coffee machine was blamed, and no apology was given.
It's a shame, because the atmosphere and location are good.
Years ago, when I lived in Amsterdam, I loved going to Genki. After receiving a voucher through Tripper, we made a reservation at Genki. According to Tripper, reservations were available from 4:00 PM. We made a reservation for 5:00 PM and arrived about 10 minutes before that time. It turned out our reservation hadn't gone through. The employee didn't know anything about Tripper. I asked if he could check with his colleagues, but he initially refused. The employee said we could still eat there, but at the regular price. I explained that we had already paid for the food online. Reluctantly, the manager was called, and we were asked to take a seat. The employee told me they wouldn't open for another 11 minutes. Strange, because Tripper said reservations were available for an hour before that.
Fifteen minutes later, the employee arrived and explained that the boss wasn't offering a Tripper promotion. In his words: "He (the boss) tells me to kick you out." The employee indicated that he obviously wouldn't say it that way, but the bottom line was that we had to leave. I asked if he/his boss would confirm this in writing so I could pass it on to Tripper to discuss a refund. This request was ignored. My mother was deeply shocked by this extremely rude and downright hostile attitude and was on the verge of tears. Eventually, the boss was called, and the employee passed the phone to me. The comment about "throwing me out" was downplayed, and when I explained that this attitude was simply unacceptable, we were finally offered to take the vouchers. Reluctantly, but with little choice given the rain and lack of time, we agreed.
It was a very uncomfortable situation in which the employee (however well-intentioned) didn't act decisively, and Genki's internal communication and administration were inadequate. You can't sell vouchers online and then shame the guests who use them and make it so difficult to redeem them.
The food was decent. Nothing special and limited selection, but the dishes we did have were tasty. It's a shame our dinner started off so poorly. Ultimately, this means this will be our last time at Genki, and we certainly won't recommend this restaurant to our family, friends, or business associates.
This was my least favorite branch compared to their others. The staff were indifferent and seemed to mock me when I asked them questions. I don't think we'll be coming back to this branch!
We had dinner at Loetje on December 10th and were pleasantly surprised. The service was super friendly (especially the female staff member), which made us feel truly welcome. The food and atmosphere were also excellent.
This was an absolute horrible experience. We did a ‘pup quiz’ here, but it was just a chatgpt questionnaire and not even music over the speaks of the bar.. just a small JBL speaker…
