Oriental City

About

On the historic Oudezijds Voorburgwal in the heart of Amsterdam, Oriental City spans multiple floors and stakes its entire reputation on what comes out of its kitchen. A Gault&Millau score of 12.5/20 and a 4.2 average across 6,371 Google reviews confirm this is one of the city's most enduring and trusted Cantonese addresses.

The interior is utilitarian and unpretentious — a deliberate echo of an older restaurant tradition — and service is brisk and purpose-driven. But step past the no-frills setting and the cooking more than compensates: fresh produce, daily handmade dumplings and a broad dim sum selection are at the heart of what makes Oriental City one of Amsterdam's most authentic Cantonese dining experiences. Gault&Millau recognised this by including it in their selection.

With moderate prices, vegetarian options and seven-day opening from 11:30 AM, Oriental City is accessible to a wide audience. Reservations are accepted and, given its consistent popularity, well worth making in advance.
