Born and raised up in Sichuan, I have to say the food is really authentic here! It is not Dutch-Chinese food at all. We asked for extra spicy and it turned out to be a very enjoyable level of spiciness. In general very nice place for hanging out with friends while enjoying Sichuan food. Highly recommend.
Location: the place is a bit wild and on the top floor of a pink Neon Lighting building. Has to reach there by ferry from the central station. The entrance is really confusing, you have to go through several doors and walk up a "private" stairs to get to the restaurant. I guess there were signs but we arrived in the dark and took some effort to get there.
Service: the waiter and waitress are really casual and easy to reach. But since it was quite busy there on Sat evening, they served the main dishes before the starter.
Environment: A night-club style of setup, and literally there is a club downstairs. The tables and chairs are foldable. So don't expect a really comfortable and quite eating atmosphere.
Food: Thumbs up for the food!! Very satisfied. It is a pity that compared to the "headquarter", this branch has a limited selection of dishes (20 or so). BUT good enough to fill a belly!! Got both veggie and meat choices. The spicy dumplings are too sweet from my point of view, even though in the authentic recipe it is supposed to add sugar but I still think it is an overdose. There is a Sichuan pickle jar in the kitchen to make real Sichuan pickles. HOTPOT is a MUST-TRY! All the ingredients in the dish are accurately well-cooked and the red oil is the best in NL. No complaints about the rice. The green bean is also highly...
Read moreUpdated review: they changed their location to a much bigger place. The food was very delicious and the service was very efficient. We ordered the prawns dish, duck dish along with a couple of starters. The tofu skin salad was very good.
Old review:The food, service and ambiance was great. We tried their Dried Tofu with Peanuts salad and it was very delicious. Though it says salad it was more of a dish by itself. We also tried their Mongolian Beef and Chilli Chiken. We ordered one fried rice on the side and all the dishes were very tasty. The portions were big enough for two people. The highlight is the fact that the dishes were not too spicy. They balanced the spice very well and one can taste the dish without the overwhelming spice. Their natural wines were very good. The lady who served us was very friendly - we had some nice conversations. The restaurant had a very bohemian chic vibe and the decor was interesting. The water view from the restaurant is very beautiful and we were able to see the...
Read moreAfter Order Sichuan closed at sexyland, which I loved, I’ve been wanting to check the revamp out, to see if it was as mind blowing as that one.
The food was nice. Had a few veggie/vegan options which gave some variety. Nice spices, interesting dishes overall. I liked the fact it’s still in Noord, however the fact it was in an empty club/ greenhouse gave it a weird energy, but I am sure it would have been good if it was fuller.
I don’t often write reviews, but felt like it was in place here. I would come back, but the service was horrible. I don’t expect smiles all day, but the server was just flat out rude and moody. She even tried to argue with my friend. Next to that service wasn’t fast or attentive. I had to go up to the bar to order, which is fine if it’s the vibe, but it isn’t. It was a Wednesday night and pretty empty. They had 3 people on FOH, so I don’t understand where it went wrong. I hope this is something that was a one off, but I do think it...
