★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food was good, but for such a place you expect it to be at least a bit interesting and exciting. The only dish that was actually interesting and unique was the "Surprise egg" dessert. Other dishes - 3 from the Dim Sum category and one half of Pekin Duck were tasty but nothing more.
The "cocktails" are super-simple mixes, with absolutely nothing special about them, despite the descriptions in the menu.
Service was pretty bad, despite really trying hard to be good: Insanely long waiting time to take the orders (drinks and food) and to serve to the table, a glass of wine that was ordered but never served (when I mentioned it, they offered to serve it for free, but we already finished eating so I passed), and very long minutes of waiting to get attention from waiters.
To top that, the bill was wrong, charging us for an extra half Pekin duck (EUR 42) and it took over 10 minutes to get the waiter to come and fix it.
Altogether, a disappointing experience due to bad service and boring but good food.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Read about Ron in a NY Times article a few years ago and have been looking forward to visiting. We were very pleased with the cocktails, the great choices of food... all delicious, and the warm service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Super delicious! We were here for Restaurant Week, and they served a 3-course menu of dimsum, peking duck, and a fun dessert of white chocolate and passion fruit sorbet. The wagyu shumai was delicious. We intend on returning just for that lol.
Ambiance was dark and trendy. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous. Overall, a pleasant dining experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Superb service, excellent food. The spicy heat in each of the dishes was superb, vegetarian choices were lovely. Dennis behind the bar was a legend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Easy reservation system, staff is polite and helpful in communication. When you arrive you’re greeted warmly.
Asian inspired menu dominates, with a variety of dim sum available (see photo of menu for prices). The prices are high overall for the very small portions, may be Ron blauw thinks his name is worth it.
The quality and taste of food is good, since a lot of other Chinese dim sum places just use frozen stuff out of a bag. The atmosphere is trendy / casual chic, the drink selection is good but a bit pricey too.
The service can be slow and forgetful so you have to keep track of them when it’s busy.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam. Everything we ate was incredible. I would highly recommend the octopus starter ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were very curios to try this fusion Indonesian-Chinese place in the heart of Amsterdam by the great Ron. Expectations were not disappointed! We sat at the bar and had an impeccable service by the barman (manager?) - compliments to him and his accurate guests-minded skills. We ordered the wagyu dim sum, the bimi (absolutely delicious, probably the dish that impressed me the most) and the famous Indonesian rice table x2. All the food was extremely flavored, high quality ingredients, and great presentation. Definitely enough for 2 people! The cocktails were also very nice. The quality-price ratio is in line with this type of restaurants in Amsterdam; hence worth the money you spend. Definitely recommended!
