Worth a visit - Edit
Quirky place! We managed to get a table, service isn't fantastic, but the tasty food more than made up for it, we had the Jamaican plate and the crunchy Dragon roll, both dishes exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return.

Delicious and big portions - Edit
The food was delicious and the portions were massive. I will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Only downside is we waited a lot, to order, to receive our food, and to pay. We spent over an hour and a half at the restaurant for what was supposed to be a quick lunch, and it wasn’t busy. It was worth the wait though!

Great food and friendly staff - Edit
Absolutely love this cool little place tucked away in Amsterdam. It’s a small venue so can get busy quickly. I advise getting there before the rush to get a seat and avoid waiting. Food here is delicious! I had the sushi dish and my partner had the burger. The venue is cute and there seems to be a nice vibe here. I did order a coconut milkshake but it tasted like pineapple. Either way, I will be back!

Worth the wait! - Edit
We came here during the 24 hour Cube of Truth and it was packed with vegans from all over the world! We had to wait a while, but it was worth it! The food was excellent with a good variety of dishes. We would definitely return.

Comfort food - Edit
Very nice food to eat on a communal table. We had samos and spring rolls, followed by fried tofu and tempeh. Very nice cakes, inspired by Dutch cuisine: chocolate cake with gelato, warm apple cake, and Dutch pancakes. Jamaican and Japanese inspired cuisine, with a nice Dutch kick for the dessert menu.

Food was delicious! - Edit
Came with the expectation of slow service and questionable atmosphere. But it was much better than expected! Okay it smelt a bit greasy but the server was super friendly and food was relatively fast. Sushi was okay.

Expensive-fast food-small plates - Edit
We had 3(!) main dishes as we had been very hungry. After all we paid 47€ (we had sushi, Jamaica hot plate and a bowl with vegan chickens (of course fried but not mentioned on menue as fried), tab water, Jamaican beer) and weren’t filled up. The stuff was ignorant and didn’t pick our order (not even by pencil) and forgot it 3 times. Then coming back and letting us know the ice tea was out of stock. The dishes were sprinkled with something like mayonnaise what the only flavour together with a lot of fat was. Seems all things there are fried.

Great food but... - Edit
The food was tasty.
Read moreHowever apart from that, everything was bad.
We were only two and we had to wait a lot to be served.
The music was terrible and very loud.
We also had to wait to have the bill because the waiter went to the kitchen to talk with the cook and wouldn't care about his clients.
We could see the kitchen floor under the curtains separating the room from the kitchen and it was incredibly dirty. If the floor is that dirty I don't even want to know how the counter or the fridge look like.
Pros: Tasty food
Cons: Bad hygiene, Loud music, Bad service, Long wait

Food was great! Service not so much - Edit
The place itself isn't too big, but it even offers a table to sit closer to the floor, Japanese style. And the vibes overall were good, the music system added up to the experience. After around 20 minutes of waiting our mains arrive, the flavours in the food were amazing. Congratulations to the chefsy! Very content with the menu. However, the server seemed somewhat distracted. After requesting the dessert we waited over half and hour because he forgot to put the order through. We were not able to request a refund and it took them a considerable amount of time to get them done. Would come back sometime, but only if I see a different server at the till.
Read morePros: A lot of options to choose from the menu, The food was delicious
Cons: The waiting time for food exceeded the 30 minutes, The server wasn't hospitable enough, No refunds

Delicious, but not enough staff - Edit
What an interesting concept to mix Jamaican, Western and Japanese food, make it all vegan and serve it in a restaurant that is a mix from high stools and sitting on the floor. The options are pretty diverse and my 'cheese' sticks and 'fish' burger were both really convincing. I was there on a Sunday night and it was packed so I shared a table with a strange couple and the waiter, being by himself, was obviously overwhelmed. This is the one thing that made me give only four stars, to encourage the place to have more staff.
Read morePros: Tasty! , Big diversity of options
Cons: Slow service (not enough staff)

Interesting vegan options - Edit
We had a nice dinner. I was happy to get gluten-free vegan food, even options to choose from😄the chairs are high and it feels like a place where you come for a quick bite. As such I would recommend it.

Good food but not consistent - Edit
I’ve been here quite a few times now. Quite recently there was a change of ownership and the menu was redone. Since then, it seems as though the food quality has declined and the customer service isn’t nearly as good as it used to be a couple of years ago.
Read moreI was there today and was charged for a milkshake I didn’t even drink, because it was awful (I had it before and loved it!! Ordered it again and it was really bad...). Too bad, I really loved this place! Will look for the next vegan ‘hole in the wall’ in Amsterdam.
Pros: All vegan, Unique options, Homemade vegan chicken
Cons: Customer service, Inconsistency , Downgrade in quality

really cute place - Edit
We were full when we came here but wished we weren't the dishes looked great but could only manage the cheesecake which was yummy. they were kind enough to warm up baby food (it was vegan). we sat at the table on floor level which was cosy and easier with our baby. would want to come back and try the main dishes.

Huge portions - Edit
We had the large vegan plate and the Jamaican curry plate. Both were delicious. Huge portions. We weren't sure whether to enter at first because the sign said closed, but it was open. The waiter seemed like he was on another planet too!
