Albina

Surinamese/Chinese restaurant and shop

Albert Cuypstraat 69
Amsterdam 1072 CN
Netherlands
+31 (0)20 675 5135

In the heart of De Pijp, on Ceintuurbaan, you'll find the Chinese-Surinamese restaurant Albina. This is the friendliest, most delicious roti shop in Amsterdam and offers excellent quality for the prices. This is a very popular spot amongst locals. The restaurant reminds one of a snack bar, but the Surinam food makes Albina well worth a visit. Be sure to try the Black Pudding!

China Grand

Good Chinese restaurant Rijnstraat 51
Amsterdam 1078 PZ
Netherlands
+31 (0)20 644 7786 China Grand is one of the better average-priced Chinese restaurants in Amsterdam, and is located on one of the city's main roads that lead to the centre. Its specialities are Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine. Any of these dishes is highly recommended and are made with beef, pork, lamb, chicken, seafood or vegetables. The various dishes with Szechuan sauce, a sweet and spicy sauce with vegetables, are tangy and tasty. Apart from the original Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine, China Grand also offers many other Chinese dishes, which are mostly a little bit cheaper than the ones mentioned before, as well as a lot of different Chinese rice-tables.

Hoi Tin

A busy zone Zeedijk 122-124
Amsterdam 1012 BB
Netherlands
+31 (0)20 625 6451 For a reasonably priced Chinese meal, step into Hoi Tin. From the outside, it looks like a shabby old place but the tasty preparations are a big savior. An extensive menu of more than 200 dishes makes selecting more interesting. Try the traditional Sweet and Sour Chicken or the black bean based dishes - they are really delicious. The popular eatery is packed most of the times, so if you want to catch a nice table, make sure you are one of the early birds.

Mansion

Charm, elegance and enjoyment Hobbemastraat 2
Amsterdam 1071 ZA
Netherlands
+31 (0)20 616 6664
http://www.the-mansion.nl/ In order to dine in elegance, step into the mansion. The ornate interiors are complemented by dim lighting. The French windows allow day light to stream in, giving a very refreshing feel. The two main dining halls are situated adjacent to the private room. Take up a comfortable seat and wait for a truly authentic Chinese dinner to be served up. The chefs have been flown in all the way from Hong Kong for the same reason. There are cocktail bars for you to go up to and sip on your favorite drink. A DJ sets the place rocking on Fridays and Saturdays.

Sea Palace

Straight Out of a Fairy Tale Oosterdokskade 8
Amsterdam, NH 1011 AE
Netherlands
+31 20 626 4777
http://www.seapalace.nl This charming, pagoda-style floating Chinese restaurant is on every romantic diner's wish-list. Dig into the plump and juicy Dim-Sims or try one of the flavorsome soups; Peking soup being the house favorite. The menu is divided into Chinese, Cantonese, Beijing and Hot Pot depending on the cooking style and flavors. The chefs here have painstakingly put together set meals, which are always a safe bet. Don't leave without trying the fresh fruit salad with ice-cream and the Chinese tea. Sea Palace is lively, replete with brightly lit Chinese lanterns and exquisite mandalas. With the pristine waters acting as a backdrop for the diners, there's little that can go wrong here.

Wagamama

Learn the secrets Zuidplein 12
Amsterdam 1077 XV
Netherlands
+31 (0)20 620 3032
http://www.wagamama.nl/ This restaurant belongs to the popular international Wagamama chain. Located in the World Trade Centre, the eatery serves tasty Chinese preparations. The menu features side dishes and desserts apart from the main courses. Among the drinks, you can choose from beer, wine or sake. In case you are not sure what to order, take help from the "Most Popular Dishes" section on the menu. The noodle soup preparations are quite filling. You would be impressed to see how fast your order reaches the kitchen—through radio signals! The restaurant seats 136 guests and offers an al fresco seating during pretty summers. And if the food does impress you, go ahead and invest in their cookbook.
