Kitchen Impossible Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I walked in and joined the line behind a few people. Shortly after, someone queued up behind me. A staff member approached and asked if I wanted to dine in. I said yes and mentioned I was dining alone. He then asked me to wait outside on the bench and walked me there.

To my surprise, within minutes I saw other guests (two) walk in and being seated right away and even the solo diner who had been behind me in line was seated. Meanwhile, I was still outside waiting for no clear reason.

After a quick moment of disbelief, I walked back inside and approached the employee to ask what was going on. The response I got was simply, ‘yeah you can sit there’ pointing to a now empty table. I left because the way I was treated felt extremely strange and frankly quite disrespectful. If i didnt come inside myself, they wouldve just let me wait outside for god knows how long.

Shame I couldn’t taste the ramen, but the disrespectful service already gave me a bad taste. I will not try again. Restaurants should understand that service is also part of a good restaurant and not...

Every table feels almost like chefs table it offers very open space and a view into the inside of the kitchen. It’s not messy but rather felt a bit chaotic around. For Ramen lovers- you will enjoy this unique take on Ramen, for Vegans- this might be your new favorite place, for someone who is looking forward to a brothy, veggie filled Ramen- you might be disappointed, it’s by no means traditional way of having Ramen as 3 options on the menu come with thick creamy sauce and one Ramen (in the picture) comes with rich and thick broth/sauce liquid. We still found the ratio of liquid and noodles a bit off thus it more felt like “Ramen curry?!”. The taste/textures were executed very well and flavors, spice, texture danced together in a perfect balance, however it didn’t feel Ramen but rather sophisticated alternative! We timed our Ramen arrival just for fun and on a Sunday evening 2 bowls came in after 17minutes of ordering and 2 more came 3...

Honestly, this place makes me so intensely happy! I've tried every item on the menu and have never been disappointed, everything's delicious (: I'm not much of a reviewer but I figured this place deserves my recommendation!!!

When I was released from hospital after surgery this summer, this is the place I went to, the soupless ramen being the only food I wanted! The guys were so lovely and even brought me a box to rest my arm (which was in a cast from shoulder to fingers in a 90 degree angle) on while eating. Thank you so much guys!

(Also great for takeout - tastes almost as good at home! Aaaannd the spicy ramen is actually quite spicy, unlike many other vegan ramen options in this city... so that's another plus!)

Long story short: make sure to bring all your friends and eat here as often...
