Amsterdam's Chinatown is a culinary hotspot, with many restaurants worth recommending. First up is Haicheng Restaurant, an authentic Cantonese restaurant with excellent flavors, generous portions, and authentic ingredients. Their shrimp dumplings, double-mix dumplings, Chongqing boiled fish, and choy sum are particularly recommended. The shrimp dumplings have thin, chewy wrappers and generous fillings. If you're worried about waiting in line, make a reservation in advance. The address is Oudezijds Voorburgwal 177-179, 1012 EV.
Secondly, The Seafood Bar is a great value seafood restaurant with four locations in Amsterdam. You can order à la carte or, like us, order the Mix Grill platter. The portions are perfectly portioned and the prices are very reasonable. It's located at Spui 15, 1012 WX.
Another popular spot is Polaberry, known for its chocolate-covered strawberries. The strawberries are large and juicy, and the dark chocolate-covered ones are highly recommended. Chocolate-covered strawberries are priced at €9 for four or €19 for nine. The address is Prinsengracht 232 H, 1016 HE.
Also, there's Hai Tian Restaurant, a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown that serves home-style dishes and Cantonese dim sum. While the overall menu isn't particularly outstanding, the flavors are authentic and perfect for satisfying cravings or just for a casual meal. It's located at Zeedijk 122, 1012 BB.
Finally, if you want to try the Dutch national pastry, try Croissanterie Egstorf, a local bakery specializing in Dutch caramel pancakes, which are freshly made and crispy and sweet. They also offer waffles, sandwiches, bread, cookies, and coffee. The address is Spuistraat 274, 1012 VX.
In Amsterdam's Chinatown, besides delicious food, there are also many tourist attractions, such as Dam Square and the Royal Palace, making it a wonderful place to spend a day.
