14 of the Best Asian Restaurants in Amsterdam, from Sichuan, Amsterdam, Netherlands

I do realise that Asia is a large continent and that trying to cover restaurants from so many diverse countries in one article is a bit bonkers. And in fact, I’ve written separate articles about Indonesian rijsttafel, Indian restaurants and ramen joints – because those three cuisines are so well represented in Amsterdam. But for many other restaurants that would loosely fall into the “Asian” category – Chinese restaurants serving dumplings or hotpot, for example, Japanese restaurants serving sushi or street food, Thai restaurants or Vietnamese restaurants – there simply aren’t enough in Amsterdam that I’d recommend to make it worthwhile to publish a separate post. So with that in mind, here are my (fairly scant) recommendations: from Asian fusion to Chinese dim sum, and from Japanese sushi to Vietnamese pho.

As a restaurant critic, I rarely tend to go back to places more than once or twice. I make an exception for A-fusion: an always bustling Asian fusion restaurant in Amsterdam’s very own Chinatown, which stretches along the Zeedijk north of Nieuwmarkt and down a few of the alleyways that run off it. I’ve been regularly frequenting A-fusion since 2008, and I always leave my dining choices in the hands of the kitchen – ordering the fantastic “Bib Gourmand” menu. Whatever they bring is a delight, but I’d recommend adding some steamed oysters and truffle-beef sushi – because you’re worth it. ......
