The best pan-Asian food in the Netherlands, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide, the Lekker 500, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. O&O comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
More Less
Amarone and A-Fusion hold the next two places. The Lekker 500 shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with the Michelin Guide close behind.

Rank 1. O&O
Pan-Asian
A Michelin-starred Asian restaurant in a small Noord-Brabant village, O&O charts a course across Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore in a single sitting. The chef fuses French technique with precise sweet-sour-umami balancing, and his daughter handles wine pairings from a cellar that earns the word spectacular. The kind of meal that makes the drive through flat Dutch countryside feel like a perfectly reasonable idea.

Rank 2. Amarone
Pan-Asian
A white 3D wall frames the open kitchen at this elegant Rotterdam fine dining room, where the look is part Japanese art installation, part hushed luxury. The chef pairs Wagyu and umeboshi with local Dutch produce, pulling classic French technique toward Japan without the seams showing. The sommelier doubles as host and clearly knows the cellar. Amarone holds a Michelin star.

Rank 3. A-Fusion
Pan-Asian
Sushi being made near the door, dim sum and a barbecue further back, a wok kitchen somewhere beyond that: A-Fusion runs several Asian kitchens under one roof, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand prices mean you can actually work through the menu. Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean flavours share billing, and the small-portion format on Zeedijk actively encourages ordering one of everything.

Rank 3. Asian Glories
Pan-Asian
Peking ducks hang in the open kitchen window, which sets the tone before you've even sat down. This Cantonese and Sichuan restaurant in Rotterdam holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the room earns its own mention: high ceilings, natural light, and a canal view past an old church. Dim sum is made in-house, the à la carte runs long, and the portions lean generous. Bring people who can't agree on anything; the menu is wide enough to absorb the argument.

Rank 5. Sukade
Pan-Asian
A monumental 1860s warehouse on the Stoombootkade, where exotic goods including candied citrus peel once changed hands, now hosts a restaurant leaning into Asian-inflected contemporary cooking. The chef puts vegetables and fruit at the center of the plate in ways that feel considered rather than compensatory. Lunch runs simpler, evenings more elaborate, and the waterfront terrace earns its own argument for timing your visit around the weather.

Rank 9. Chez Nina
Mediterranean Pan-Asian
A vegetarian tasting menu spot on a quiet intersection just beyond Amsterdam's tourist scrum, Chez Nina is the project of Swedish chef Nina Olsson, who blends Mediterranean and East Asian ideas into seasonal plates. The natural wine list skews toward female winemakers, and the cocktails run to things like chlorophyll matcha horchata, which is either a reason to come or a reason to pause, depending on who you are.
