Awesome food! - Edit
The food was really tasty and the portions were big, which I like. I ate the spring rolls, which was the best I’ve ever had, and vegan ramen! The staff was friendly too. The place was not the easiest to find though and it could have been cozier. But it was good.

Warning: very slow service, but excellent vegan food - Edit
This is by far my FAVORITE vegan spot at Amsterdam. The vegan sushi and meat/rice dishes are so delicious, omg. I was craving asian food so badly, and this hit the spot lol. One thing that’s super unattractive about this restaurant is the slow service. They took way too long to seat us, cook us our food, and give us water. They didn’t even give us water until I asked the waiter!!! They really need to fix this aspect of this restaurant because it almost made the experience unbearable. However - the food is SO delicious. So I applaud their chef!
Read morePros: DELICIOUS, real vegan food., Lots of options and versatile menu.
Cons: Terrible, slow, frustrating service., Small restaurant and dirty bathroom.

Awful service, amazing food. - Edit
I went here on a hot summer day. They didn't have AC and there is little to no ventilation. The server was pleasant, but the service was awfully slow. It was generally a horrible experience except for the food which was amazing. I would go again, but only on a cooler day when I have plenty of time.

מסעדה מפתיעה - Edit
בקושי ניתן למצוא את המקום שנראה ״לא משהו״ ולכן ההפתעה מאיכות המנות גדולה. יש מגוון מנות מאוד מאוד טעימות ובהחלט נחזור למסעדה בביקורנו הבאים באמסטרדם.

Excellent - Edit
Very unique spot. I got the Lady Plate, nice sized portion and absolutely delicious. Whatever they’re doing to their brown rice, I wish I could figure out. Not to be missed if you’re a vegan visiting Amsterdam.

So tasty - Edit
This place was small but packed with flavour and big meals! I had the home made Raman and my boyfriend had the vegan plate, with a side of spring rolls. Great flavours! Will be going back to try the vegan zushi!

Delicious! - Edit
100% vegan restaurant a little hidden away behind the busy streets of Amsterdam. The people there were nice and we had a couple of questions they could answer. The food was really tasty and delicious. We had to order a take-away because its a small restaurant and is very busy on saturdays. But that didnt bother us at all.
Read morePros: They had a nice meny with many option and deserts.
Cons: The good food comes with a price!

Worth a visit - Edit
Quirky place! We managed to get a table, service isn't fantastic, but the tasty food more than made up for it, we had the Jamaican plate and the crunchy Dragon roll, both dishes exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return.

Cons: Service slow

Delicious and big portions - Edit
The food was delicious and the portions were massive. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Only downside is we waited a lot, to order, to receive our food, and to pay. We spent over an hour and a half at the restaurant for what was supposed to be a quick lunch, and it wasn’t busy. It was worth the wait though!

Great food and friendly staff - Edit
Absolutely love this cool little place tucked away in Amsterdam. It’s a small venue so can get busy quickly. I advise getting there before the rush to get a seat and avoid waiting. Food here is delicious! I had the sushi dish and my partner had the burger. The venue is cute and there seems to be a nice vibe here. I did order a coconut milkshake but it tasted like pineapple. Either way, I will be back!

Comfort food - Edit
Very nice food to eat on a communal table. We had samos and spring rolls, followed by fried tofu and tempeh. Very nice cakes, inspired by Dutch cuisine: chocolate cake with gelato, warm apple cake, and Dutch pancakes. Jamaican and Japanese inspired cuisine, with a nice Dutch kick for the dessert menu.

Cons: a bit messy

Expensive-fast food-small plates - Edit
We had 3(!) main dishes as we had been very hungry. After all we paid 47€ (we had sushi, Jamaica hot plate and a bowl with vegan chickens (of course fried but not mentioned on menue as fried), tab water, Jamaican beer) and weren’t filled up. The stuff was ignorant and didn’t pick our order (not even by pencil) and forgot it 3 times. Then coming back and letting us know the ice tea was out of stock. The dishes were sprinkled with something like mayonnaise what the only flavour together with a lot of fat was. Seems all things there are fried.

Great food but... - Edit
The food was tasty.
Read moreHowever apart from that, everything was bad.
We were only two and we had to wait a lot to be served.
The music was terrible and very loud.
We also had to wait to have the bill because the waiter went to the kitchen to talk with the cook and wouldn't care about his clients.
We could see the kitchen floor under the curtains separating the room from the kitchen and it was incredibly dirty. If the floor is that dirty I don't even want to know how the counter or the fridge look like.
Pros: Tasty food
Cons: Bad hygiene, Loud music, Bad service, Long wait

Food was great! Service not so much - Edit
The place itself isn't too big, but it even offers a table to sit closer to the floor, Japanese style. And the vibes overall were good, the music system added up to the experience. After around 20 minutes of waiting our mains arrive, the flavours in the food were amazing. Congratulations to the chefsy! Very content with the menu. However, the server seemed somewhat distracted. After requesting the dessert we waited over half and hour because he forgot to put the order through. We were not able to request a refund and it took them a considerable amount of time to get them done. Would come back sometime, but only if I see a different server at the till.
Read morePros: A lot of options to choose from the menu, The food was delicious
Cons: The waiting time for food exceeded the 30 minutes, The server wasn't hospitable enough, No refunds

Delicious, but not enough staff - Edit
What an interesting concept to mix Jamaican, Western and Japanese food, make it all vegan and serve it in a restaurant that is a mix from high stools and sitting on the floor. The options are pretty diverse and my 'cheese' sticks and 'fish' burger were both really convincing. I was there on a Sunday night and it was packed so I shared a table with a strange couple and the waiter, being by himself, was obviously overwhelmed. This is the one thing that made me give only four stars, to encourage the place to have more staff.
Read morePros: Tasty! , Big diversity of options
Cons: Slow service (not enough staff)
