Yakiniku Izakayatakehara

Best...Asian...restaurant...ever! All the food is great,tasty, exquisite and delicious. Everytime I come to Amsterdam I don't miss Izakaya. Great selection of wines as well.

Great food, but in terms of value for money a bit lacking. Also, the wine list is really nothing special but 8-10 euros a glass. Service is correct and friendly, they work with a shift system.

Amazing food! Great service and an incredible atmosphere! I will definitely recommend going.

Elegant yet expensive, crowded and distinguished. Would recommend it if you are not looking for a candlelight dinner.

I had a lovely dinner here on a thursday evening. It's a fancy, slightly posh-feeling restaurant. It was very busy and they had loud electronic music being dj-ed live. That wasn't so amazing, but I can see the appeal for some. The service was fast and efficient, pouring water and wine in a timely manner, explaining the dishes and giving suggestions when possible. The food was really fresh, lovely mis en place, and brilliant flavors. I truly liked it, but it is definitely quite expensive for my budget and preference. I think the quality does reflect the price, though. I tried most of the cocktails and they were ok, a bit on the sweet side. Not outstanding, like the food.

Fantastic restaurant, fresh food, friendly, and well located!! I just would say that maybe the music was a bit loud!!! To not miss in Amsterdam!!!

Excellent food great mix of asia meets europe

Very nice vibe at the resto.. service was top class.. the food was prepared with loads of delicacy.. a must visit in Amsterdam.

Great service, top food

Great decor, bustling vibe, beautiful waitresses. The food is Japanese fusion and it's quite good. The salad with prawn, miso, parmesan and truffle was very good, but I thought other dishes were ordinary (the aburi salmon nigiri) but others were kinda pointless imo (sweetcorn in tempura). Would say that putting truffle oil on stuff doesn't make every dish superawesome - it just overpowers.

Oh my god. We really wanted to visit this restaurant after reading the recommandations. We decided to come at lunch hour hoping to get more space and time for this food experience. This turned out to be a great idea. Everything on the menu looked great, but luckily the on in their staff taking care of us, said he could make us a surprise menu with his own personal favorites. That was the best decision we ever made. Constantly new dishes showing up, with taste combinations we never had thought of. Highly recommended, but would probably recommend lunch hours as we did for a more personal experience, as the staff said it can be quite busy in the evening.

Best place in Amsterdam so far. The spinach salad is unbelievably good, with truffle oil and parmesan cheese. The 3 kind of sashimi is my favorite. I don’t really like the music they have (too fashion for me) and is a little noise but the food is great. Very recommended!

It was a great dinner with all kind off fine dishes!

This was the best asian experience on the island! The service is the best and the food is great!

Japanese / Peruvian flavors with loud music and open bar style eating. We walked into this restaurant and sat at the main bar without reservation. The rest of the seating appears to be bar style sharing a long wood table cut direct from a giant tree. Very friendly staff and nice portions. Fresh and clean as well as colorful presentations. Well-balanced offering, although we missed getting hamachi kama.
