5 Best Asian in Amsterdam

Asian cuisine in Amsterdam tracks the city's immigration history closely — Indonesian and Surinamese-Indonesian (Toko-style) cooking from the post-colonial period, a strong Japanese fine-dining and ramen scene, Chinese restaurants in the small Chinatown around Zeedijk, and modern pan-Asian and Nikkei kitchens that have arrived in the past 15 years. This archive collects the venues working across the spectrum: traditional Indonesian rijsttafel houses, Toko-style takeaway counters in De Pijp and Indische Buurt, Japanese sushi and izakaya operations, Korean barbecue, Vietnamese pho specialists, and Nikkei restaurants like NAZKA in De Pijp where Peruvian and Japanese techniques fuse on a single tasting menu. Each listing notes the specific cuisine and price band.
