Restaurant Lychee — Restaurant in Delft

We have been coming here since Lychee opened and have been happy regular customers. Recently(june 2025), the prices across all dishes have increased significantly. To the point that coming to lychee regularly is no longer feasible for us. Our regular order increased 19%, meaning we will sadly have to find a new regular place.

Interior-wise this place is so-so. The menu is extensive. Staff is friendly. The food is quite authenthic. This restaurant has its own sort of signature spice-profile. The spice range of dishes can vary significantly week to week for the same dishes. So if you can't deal with spice, make sure to specify it in your order.

Dishes are prepared with day fresh veggies which makes it that there will be different variations of veggies in some dishes each time you eat there. Sometimes you get asparagus, another time it's not there. Sometimes you get black-ear mushrooms, other times it's not there. It's not bothersome to me personally, but it's a quirk some people might need to pay attention to if you have allergies or specific preferences.

By far, the best spicy Chinese food in Delft. Really not any competition in the city.

Recommend; 口水鸡(mouth watering chicken)，蒜泥白肉(Suan ni bai ruo)，水煮牛肉(shui zhuo niu ruo)，孜然羊肉(cumin lamb).

The new prices do not reflect the quality of value of the food itself. We can just as well travel to Rotterdam or The Hague and...

Good service and tasty, authentic Chinese food. We dined at Lychee as a group, and we got to taste several dishes. We had loempias, potato salad, roasted pork belly and spicy bacon as starters. The roasted pork was super crispy, and the sauce was very delicious. From the mains, my favorites were the eggplants with Yu-xiang sauce and the stir-fried choi-sum with garlic. I also tried the spicy pork intestine dish with blood cubes, although I can't find it on their menu on the website. All the meat was cooked very well, and nicely seasoned! Overall, we had great time and really enjoyed our meal. The service was fast and we had no issues, the staff was kind enough to give me a small extra sample of the roasted pork sauce! I'd definitely recommend Lychee if you want to have authentic Chinese food in Delft, but do make sure you go with someone who can speak Chinese, otherwise it might be difficult to communicate since the staff doesn't speak...

Restaurant Lychee is a true hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Chinese food in Delft. The flavors are rich, the ingredients fresh, and the dishes are as close as you can get to real Chinese cuisine in the Netherlands.

The chicken teppan is a must try! It is perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Another highlight is the Shanghai chapsoi with garlic, which instantly brought back memories of my time living in Shanghai. The balance of flavors and the authentic preparation makes it stand out.

The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you’re familiar with Chinese cuisine or looking to try something new, Lychee offers a fantastic selection of dishes that will definitely not disappoint.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine taste of...
