Chinees Restaurant Golden Chopsticks

Serving more BBQ pork than normal in BBQ pork noddle soup won’t help to get a higher rating from a food purist XD

After traveling for a week through France eating mostly bread, ham & cheese, we were craving rice and something Asian. We asked our hotel for a Chinese food recommendation and this restaurant wAs suggested. The location is easy to find– very near the Dam square on the edge of the red light district. We ordered the specialty rice «golden chopstick rice» (€ 12) which was white rice topped with pork belly, char siu (sweetened pork?) and roast duck. It was a good serving for 2 hungry people. We just wanted tap water but was told it’s not available (hmmmm???) so we were forced to order a tiny bottle of still water for € 3. Food was tasty and good especially after a whole week of bread and sandwiches…

Very busy place, but good service and well prepared dishes. All the traditional Chinese dishes you would expect. Some specials were only in Chinese. Those dishes were probably too good for us. LOL

It was quite a good restaurant some years ago but it turned out to be very expensive and more and more a place for tourists. I did not like the waitresses attitude. Order, eat, pay, go. But food was good. Go for the soups!

I ventured into the Golden Chopsticks on a recent visit to Amsterdam (October 2010) with my husband and a friend and we would all definitely eat here again!!!
The place was insanely busy, but the host/​manager assured us the wait would not be long. There was a large open table at the front of the restaurant that was reserved for a large family so another family that was waiting with us asked if we wanted to join them and make a «large family» so that we could be seated right away… of course we obliged!!!
The service was immediate upon sitting and quite helpful. Our meals came out very quickly and everything was delicious. We were very hungry so we ordered what seemed like one of everything. We had not one complaint about anything involving the food.
The only downside to the restaurant is that it is quite small and cramped and you definitely get the feeling that they want you in and then want you out. However, if you are looking for a quick bite to eat then this place is perfect.

das golden chopstick ist sozusagen der Imbiss vom Restaurant drüber…inzwischen war ich sehr oft in beiden Läden, weil sie sehr gut und authentisch sind, im Imbiss sitzen fast nur Chinesen, die gierig ihre suppen schlürfen, die Preise sind für die location okay, Bedienung sind immer freundlich und schnell, das Essen selbst ist ist überragend, kleiner geheim tipp, zuerst ins Green house coffeshop (50 m), dann ins golden chopsticks und das knusprige schweinfleisch mit Reis bestellen… geiler gehts garnet…

gleich neben dem mächtigem asiatempel und besuchermagnet gelegen. man könnte auch im ersten moment denken, dass es ein teil des benachbarten restaurants ist, ein zweiter blick lohnt sich aber definitiv. alles sauber u klar strukturiert im golden chopstick.
die vorwiegend asiatischen besucher machten auch hoffnung auf qualitativ besseres und authentischeres asiatisches essen, was sich auch bestätigen sollte.
eine solide wan-​tan-​suppe als vorspeise und leckere pekingente mit reis u leider zu wenig sauce (die süße sojasauce auf dem tisch musste da aushelfen) machten sehr satt.
die preise waren dem eher touristisch geprägtem viertel defintiv angepasst, es war aber auch nicht unbezahlbar.
