Tokoman is an Amsterdam chain serving Surinamese and Asian food. The menu covers quick snacks, filled sandwiches, full meals and wok boxes, with takeaway and delivery options advertised by the business. It’s a handy choice if you’re after an informal Surinamese meal in or near the centre. Check Tokoman’s official website for the latest menu, ordering options and branch updates.
What is Tokoman?
Tokoman serves Surinamese food as well as Asian dishes. The business says it prepares food daily at its own preparation kitchen in Weesp before supplying its branches. It also highlights fresh ingredients, vegetarian choices and combinations beyond the standard menu. Tokoman’s website advertises food for larger gatherings, too.
For travellers, Tokoman works best as a casual lunch, early dinner or takeaway stop, rather than a formal sit-down meal. You can grab a snack or sandwich when you’re short on time, or order a more substantial meal to try some Surinamese flavours in Amsterdam.
What to expect on the menu
Tokoman divides its menu into sandwiches (broodjes), snacks, dishes and wok boxes. There’s something for different appetites, whether you want a quick bite or a full meal. The range, prices and availability can change, so check the current online menu or contact the branch before making a special trip. View Tokoman’s menu categories.
- Broodjes: Filled sandwiches for a quick lunch or takeaway.
- Snacks: Smaller options when you want something informal or shareable.
- Gerechten: Complete meals for lunch or dinner.
- Wokboxen: Wok-based meal options.
- Vegetarian and customised choices: Tokoman says vegetarian food and combinations beyond the standard menu may be possible. Ask the branch about current options and dietary needs before ordering.

Best branch for visitors
The most convenient branch depends on where you’re sightseeing. Zeedijk is close to Amsterdam Chinatown and the Red Light District area, Waterlooplein is near the flea market and several museums, and Haarlemmerstraat fits neatly into a walk between Amsterdam Centraal and the Jordaan. Pick the branch that suits your plans; there’s little reason to cross the city just to visit a particular one.
The official branch page lists Monday-to-Saturday hours for all four locations, with no Sunday hours shown. Public holidays, events, staff availability or delivery-platform schedules can affect opening times, so check the official site or call ahead if timing matters. See the current branch details.
Takeaway, delivery and catering
Tokoman advertises takeaway and delivery. For collection, the business suggests calling ahead so your order is ready when you arrive. That’s useful if you’re stopping by between sightseeing or picking up food on your way back to your accommodation. Delivery depends on your address and the branch, so confirm coverage and ordering times through Tokoman’s current channels. Check Tokoman’s takeaway and delivery information.
Tokoman also says it can provide food for a gathering. Ordering for a group? Contact the relevant branch in advance to discuss menu choices, dietary requirements, quantities, lead time and collection or delivery arrangements.

- From Waterlooplein or the Jewish Cultural Quarter: The Waterlooplein branch is the logical choice.
- By bike: Use normal Amsterdam cycling precautions, including tram tracks, busy crossings and secure bike parking.
