I come here everyday when I travel in Amsterdam. Dimsum is Hong Kong style n great. And don't miss 炸兩、乾炒牛河、凍檸茶 as those not on the menu . Seafood is excellent, try the razor calm n oysters !

As a visitor from NYC and an HK citizen, I can say that this dim sum is better than every dim sum place in NYC but still not as good as HK

Will Belford

Best chinese in town . Personally, I think it's the best asian food ever and the location is great.The service is amazing too. So authentic and nice. I simply loved the place! A must when in Amsterdam!

Werther Veulemans

Good place, come early because whole the entire population of China wants to eat here, and there is a good reason for, because everything is so delicious over here!????????

OG place for dim sum in Amsterdam . Sea Palace is overpriced but OC is the kind of yum cha you’d get in HK. Decor vaguely kitsch, service is direct, food is great. Char siu buns done as they should be.

Juan Buis

Duck pancakes and all other dim sum , but top it off with the mango pudding !

Brian Dammeir

Best dim sum in Amsterdam , no contest. A reservation is a must on weekends.

Mariletta G

The best Dim Sum place in Amsterdam hands down, a little bit crowdy on the weekends but def worths the wait ???? ????????

Woow, great prawn dim-sum and duck with rice pancakes accompanied by smooth Chinese beer Tsingtao. Surprisingly enough the service was also very pleasant ;)

Sweet and sour prawns and chicken rocks! Probably the best Chinese restaurant in town !

Jan Kok

Best Dim Sum in Holland. Dinner is very good too, but if you dun care about comfort too much you can also try Golden Chopstix downstairs. Same food but at more competitive prices.

If you see a lot of people in the stairs, just go in and grab a number! We waited for 15 minutes only and there were like 20 ppl waiting before us.

Lauren McS

Best dim sum in Amsterdam . Takes forever to get a table on the weekend.

Milad Cerkic

Szechuan beef is amazing ????

Koon W. Chan

The inside of the bun should be runny and rich, instead of overcooked and solid. They explained: Dumb tourists kept spilling & burning themselves. to protect these people, they overcook it on purpose.

Amanda Adriani

The best dimsum in town ! My favorite is siew may (siomay) & roast duck ♡

Ilona Ang
