Lucky House

“This is definitely a westernized Asian restaurant. You can also see it in the crowd eating there. The food is served on big plates with the rice in it, unlike many Chinese places where the food is in sharable plates and you get the rice separated and easier to eat in a smaller bowl with chopsticks. We tried the sweet and sour chicken, the chicken was nicely fried but the sauce wasn't too sweet and sour. The lucky house noodles were salty, it felt a bit heavy on the soja sauce. Because the food is spread on a big plate, you feel there is more food than there is. We also tried the ha kaw and they were quite plump, but it was pureed shrimp so not sure how much shrimp this had and tasted a bit bland. It had more taste once you dipped it in the sauce. We also tried the fried lucky house dumpling with chicken and this again was bland and there was only taste when dipped in sauce. The staff were nice, specially the Asian lady at the counter. The younger waitress did forget to give us cutlery/ chopsticks so we did have to ask for them as every table had it ready except ours. But the service is quite quick, even when all the tables were full. They even give a fortune cookie at the end when you pay. The item we most appreciated was the jasmin tea. The pot used kept the drink warm until the last drop and the tea was very flowery. Also good to mention, there is a toilet close to the counter and it's quite big inside in comparison of other local eateries in Amsterdam which is great! It's not the cheapest and most of the food we ordered were a bit bland for me but you won't leave hungry afterwards.”

“The BEST Asian food in Amsterdam! I regularly come here because the food is AMAZING and the staff is soooo sweet and gentle!!! You must try: for lunch - served until 16:00- the delicious crepe (n.1 EVER) you can choose to have it vegetarian or with duck/pork/chicken, and the handmade stuffed/fried dumplings let you just touch the sky of paradise!!!! The dumplings taste is so deep and perfect! My favourite dish is the spicy chicken with vegetables (my favourite comfort food served with rice), sooo yummy 🤤 let’s see very very soon 🙏🏼”

“Three years ago, I ate at Jordan's Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe) with a friend, and it was delicious. I haven't been there much in the past three years. Today, my husband and I happened to be nearby, so we stopped by for stir-fries. We ordered salt and pepper chicken; the mushrooms were very flavorful, the chicken was perfectly crispy, and even the scallions inside were delicious. They also had vegetarian potstickers. Three years have passed, and this little restaurant remains the same, staying true to its original essence, with a wonderful wok hei (wok aroma). I think if you find a restaurant delicious, you'll become a regular customer. I hope to come back often and always find something new.”
