We were there last night, trying to celebrate our anniversary a little bit, as my boyfriend already went there, and said it was very good chinese food.
The restaurant itself is not that pretty, but it's full of Chinese people.
We ordered a soup, and I ordered Koloyuk to follow (sweet sour beef)
She brought me kolokai, and i asked her about this mistake...
She was like: " ooohhh, but Kolokai is better for you, less fat, all good for you, that's why i changed."
I was like...mmmmhhh, okay....
(particularly coz the chicken was FRIED, i wonder why she thought she was getting out of her mistake in a good way....she called me fat, and lied to me about a product, saying it's non fat, when it's deep fried.)

The food was excellent i have to say, and i ate the whole thing with the sticks for the first time in my life.

The bill arrives: 45E, my boyfriend pays her with a 50, and she leaves, without saying anything...and not giving us back our change...
We wait...and I tell my boyfriend that she is having the change wallet with her, and she should have given it back immediately, instead, she went away like this...
My boyfriend got pissed off, he did a sign to call her and she was like "bye" from the back of the room.
He went over to her, grabbed her shoulder, and told her:"hey, you forgot the change..."
there she was like: oh....ok....
My boyfriend, still left her a 2E tip...thing i wouldn't have done.

So, if you go there, get prepared for some waitress action, but also for really good food...

Oh that sucks.

I think one really cool Chinese restaurant is Nam Tin on Jodenbreestraat, it's really cheap, it's huge, they have Chinese TV on, on a screen in the back and 90% of the people in there are Chinese. The food is ok - I usually am not so keen on Chinese food in Holland but there Dim Sum is pretty good, in general it's more about the experience though.

The only really excellent Chinese food I had in Holland was in Rotterdam at this place called Hong Kong.

Asian Kitchen on De Clercqstraat (#18.) is really good.

I like Nam Kee (Geldersekade side of the Nieuwmaarkt or the Zeedijk) and Hoi Tin (Zeedijk) the best. Nam Tin and Nam Kee are owned by the same family but the Nam Tin is their higher class restaurant. If you go down the road to Nam Kee, the same dishes are a little cheaper but the atmosphere is non-existant; TL lighting, plastic plates, plastic seat covers. Nam Tin is also the place a guy got shot a few weeks ago, isn't it? Oriental City is supposed to be fantastic and very authentic, but I've never gotten around to going.

The WORST is that floating chinese palace. They didn't even have real soy sauce. I was with someone from Hong Kong and she kept asking for soy sauce in chinese and they kept bringing Maggi.

i didn't particularly like nam tin or nam kee.. the atmosphere is nice in nam tin but the food wasn't anything to write home about. nam kee was just crap, the food was okay, but they'll just put you right next to other people at the same table whilst they are smoking.. yuck.

asian kitchen that dannii mentioned looks a bit dodgy from the outside, but the food we've had there is excellent.. the meat is just so incredibly tender. yum.

I think I meant Nam Tin.

that's what you said before?

Nam Kee is MSG city. I went there with two other people and we had MSG after effects for days - that's how much they put in. Yuck.

I only ever order the same thing there, salt and pepper chicken. Funny you mention this though, I'm usually sensitive to excessive MSG. I haven't gone there in years, Hoi tin is usually more convenient.

not a good idea to make a scene in a restaurant. you don't want them to mess with your food! don't go back there again, Cel. why the tip for such lousy service anyway?!

[eww......i must be the very few who loaths chinese food. gross!]

yeah you are right. must stay off the Rochefort 10 before posting.

Nam Kee is shit. Best Chinese place in the country is the Mandarin Palace in Den Haag.
