The sandwiches won and the records lost, which is how Amsterdam ended up with one of its great lunch counters. Tjin's is a Surinamese sandwich and roti shop that has been around forever, serving char siu pork buns, bacalao, tempeh, roti rolls, and pom alongside house hot sauce and pickled cucumbers. Wash it down with a Fernandes soda and you're doing it right. The menu is short on pretension and long on the kind of flavors that make a detour feel obvious in hindsight.
