Ron Gastrobar

Overall good but for the price, 150euro, missing the wow factor. Was not just us but many tables the same , service of the food was slow which meant we did not have time for dessert . We had two bites , and 4 dishes. Nothing really bad with the food but we were expecting something special , for the price, what saved the food was the sauces, but it was missing the wow factor . Service, atmosphere and decor were good.

Overall it’s good for an interesting oriental food experience with nice environment and service. I ordered Waugh Siu Mai, shrimp dumpling and fried rice with shrimp paste. The Siu Mai and dumpling were traditional in the format but the inside was a bit modified, they tasted good but the Mayonnaise was absolutely not necessary in the dish, they hid the flavor of the dish itself, so I’ll ask to not add it next time. The service was absolutely nice, I had a warm talk with the crew, hope I’ll see u next time.

We had the bleu menu, which is a rice table Indonesian experience. We substituted the pork with fish and it was delicious. For us the spicy dishes were amazing, the sweeter ones not so much, but we don’t like sweet foods except if it is exclusively a dessert. The waiters were very nice and explained the menu well. I didn’t like the dessert bc I felt it lacked flavor and was overly sweet. Overall it was a great experience

My husband and I recently embarked on a delightful culinary adventure at Ron Gastrobar Oriental Downtown in Amsterdam, and it turned out to be a memorable experience that exceeded our expectations. After days of indulging in Dutch and other European cuisines, we sought something more exotic and were drawn to this restaurant based on its Michelin guide recommendation. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we were in for a treat. The dim sum tasting menu was an excellent choice to kickstart our meal. Offering a selection of 6 chicken, shrimp, pork, and beef dim sums, each bite was a burst of flavors that left us wanting more. It was a delightful dilemma trying to decide which dim sum was the best, as they were all exquisitely crafted. For the main course, we opted to share our dishes family-style, a decision we did not regret. The first dish, the lemon chicken, was perfectly cooked, and the lemony tang added a refreshing twist. The spare ribs with leeks, cumin, and sweet chili were an explosion of taste that left our taste buds dancing in delight. To complement the meats, we ordered roasted broccoli with ponzu sauce and macadamia nuts, a unique and flavorful side dish that perfectly balanced the meal. Additionally, we savored the nasi goreng, a delicious Indonesian fried rice that further expanded our gastronomic horizons. When it came to drinks, our waiter, Thomas, proved to be a gem. His recommendation of the Palomita was spot-on, offering a refreshing blend of tequila, lime, grapefruit soda, and tajin spice that perfectly complemented the meal. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his gimlet with 5 spices and lime, so much so that he ordered a second one. The attentiveness and knowledge displayed by Thomas were truly commendable and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. Aside from the culinary delights, we also had the pleasure of interacting with the hostess, who was warm and welcoming. Her friendly demeanor set the tone for the rest of the evening, making us feel like valued guests throughout our visit. In summary, Ron Gastrobar Oriental Downtown proved to be a hidden gem in Amsterdam's culinary scene. The diverse and flavorful dishes showcased their chefs' talent and passion for creating authentic Asian flavors. The dim sum tasting menu was a standout, and the family-style sharing of main courses allowed us to savor multiple delights. The drinks were perfectly crafted to complement the food, and the service provided by Thomas and the hostess made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, we will be returning to Ron Gastrobar Oriental Downtown on our next trip to Amsterdam, eager to explore more of their exquisite offerings and enjoy the warm hospitality they provide. Whether you're a local or a tourist looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit destination for food lovers seeking a fusion of flavors from the East.
