About
Just a short walk from the Amsterdam RAI, Hakata Senpachi has been a steadfast destination for Japanese grill cuisine for more than twenty years. In a city where the Japanese dining scene has expanded rapidly, this restaurant has stayed true to its original character — and diners have taken notice. Gault&Millau rates it 12.5/20, while over 1,150 Google reviewers give it a 4.4 average.
The menu revolves around yakitori and Japanese small plates, with ramen and a selection of Korean dishes rounding things out — though the grill remains the undisputed centrepiece. What sets Hakata Senpachi apart is its consistency: rather than chasing trends, it delivers the same reliable quality year after year. Vegetarian options are available, reservations are possible, and on pleasant evenings an outdoor terrace awaits.
Book your table and taste the grill that has kept Amsterdam coming back for over two decades.
