Still is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Amsterdam, and with a stunning decor. But be prepared to pay well for it. More

We ate in this restaurant on our holiday, when we arrived it was extremely busy and we were asked to sit at the bar, but within 5 minutes we were shown to our table, we were served promptly and efficiently, even though the restaurant was busy we did not wait long for our meal and I have to say it...

I think this restaurant is over priced and over hyped. We were given a plce at the bar initially while we waited for a table although we had a 10yr old girl. then we were given a table close to the bar without any view. I dont think I will go to that place again. More

I actually have eaten at this restaurant several times over the years as my wife's family likes to eat dim sum here for special occasions. The menus has a wide variety and the service is generally very efficient and friendly. The food isn't the best Chinese one will ever have and it can be quite pricey when all is said... More

What if you can find an asian restaurant on the sea of Amsterdam? It's real Chinese restaurant. Somewhat romantic to see outside scenery. Food quality is so so. More

Very tempting due to it's location, that is on the water. The atmosphere and the decoration is very entertaning. Those are the good points. The reception is very typical of any chinese restaurant. Then the problems start with the service and false info on the menu. A bottle of sake turns out to be a carafe. The meals are late... More

We were recommended the Sea Palace by friends who had recently visited Amsterdam. Its location in the harbour gives great views but probably only 10% of the tables are by the windows - eat early if you want one of these. The interior is lavish Chinese decor that has a real 'wow' factor when you go in. The menu is... More

Good Chinese food. The selling point though is the cool look of a chinese palace on the water in center. More

My colleague and I had Dinner there whilst in Amsterdam on business Its just a short walk from the central station and you can't really miss it from there. It reminded me of the floating restaurants you find in Hong Kong at the Harbour. We had a drink at the bar first and enjoyed our dinner with a decent bottle... More
