SPRING ROLLS, DUMPLINGS and a lot more ASIAN STREETFOOD IN AMSTERDAM
Bao buns, spring rolls, dumplings, edamame, hell yes we like Asian streetfood. Not only because these bites are finger licking good, but because of the shared dining aspect as well. All those small bites to share, so much fun! And it comes with a big advantage: it gives you the opportunity to taste even more different dishes from the menu. Good – not too complicated – food, good drinks and good company. No wonder that Amsterdam loves Asian streetfood. That’s why we’ve selected 13 x the best Asian streetfood in Amsterdam!
