Ambience and interior at Jinweide Amsterdam

Jinweide Lanzhou Beef Noodles is the very first Jinweide chain restaurant in China to open in the Netherlands. In Amsterdam Zuid, you can now enjoy freshly made noodle soup, just like you're in China.

The small open kitchen at the back of the room is a real eye-catcher, as chef Qian Zhou pulls the noodles right in front of you with grand gestures. He creates a truly spectacular display, after which he cooks the noodles for just a few seconds and adds them to the soup – just like they do in China.

Menu and dishes at Jinweide

At Jinweide Amsterdam, everything revolves around the famous noodle soup from the Lanzhou region, and the noodles are handmade right before your eyes. It works like this: you choose the thickness, and the chef takes care of the rest. You can choose from five different types of noodles, from ultra-thin to wide, flat noodles. The thicker the noodles, the more flavors from the broth are absorbed.

They serve a variety of regional dishes here, but the showpiece is undoubtedly the classic Lanzhou beef noodle soup. Made according to a traditional recipe, the soup includes thinly sliced ​​beef, chili oil, radish, and garlic. It always comes with a crisp salad, which you can put together from the salad bar.

A typical evening meal for the Dutch, but in China they think differently about this: within the Hui Muslim community in Gansu, the dish is often eaten for breakfast.
