Good to know

Is it worth going out of your way for?: It's a neighbourhood institution in Amsterdam's Chinatown, known for straightforward Cantonese dishes like roast duck and oysters with black bean sauce. It serves a different purpose than fine-dining rooms with tasting menus.
Who is it for?: It's for groups and casual evening meals where the joy comes from shared plates and a lively, energetic atmosphere. Expect an informal setting suited to sociable gatherings.
What should you order?: Focus on the Cantonese classics that define the place: the signature Peking duck, roast pork, and the oysters with black bean sauce. Order family-style and include a few roast or barbecued items.
How do you get a table?: Walk-ins are the norm. Given the dense seating and busy service, arriving earlier in the evening can help avoid the peak bustle.
Anything to know before you go?: The setting is bright, functional, and often noisy—it's the character of a Cantonese canteen. Service is fast and straightforward.
