New in Amsterdam, and first in Chinatown the owners claim, is the Eat Mode Asian Fusion Kitchen.
The workers have to restock constantly
to keep the customers satisfied here on the Zeedijk.Glad I discovered this little eatery on the Zeedijk in Amsterdam, right off the Nieuwmarkt. Fine food, cheap prices and nice ambience all combine to make this place a new favorite of mine in the Mokum. The menu consists of a variety of Asian specialities culled from Japanese, Chinese and Thai cuisine. A separate sushi menu is also available.I ordered the chicken curry lo mein soup bowl, which was filled to the brim with a rich brown broth, chunks of chicken, potatoes, and chinese veggies. Thanks to such large portions, I was also completely filled to the brim when I finished eating it. My friend ordered the Udon soup with vegetables tempura, and it was also delicious. The crispy fried veggies contrasted well with the savory broth of the soup.
Chinese tea is free with your order. English and other types of tea as well as soft drinks are available. Nothing is expensive at this delightful place, with meals averaging around 6 Euros, topping out around 11 Euros for a prawn dish.
The ambience is nice, the soothing lounge music, quietly chatting diners, contrast with the view of the crowds scurrying by on the Zeedijk. Simple wood block tables and comfortable benches make for an enjoyable, relaxing experience. Please note there is no table service here. You must order at the counter and wait for your number to appear on the display.
