Honestly, I think this is one of the best Chinese restaurants
New King is located on the Zeedijk, not too far from Nieuwmarkt and offers the mandarin cuisine. When you go up (yes, up) into the restaurant, it looks super small and you wonder why they never expanded. That is untill you are actually in the restaurants and you find two more floors which you can reach by going down the stairs again.
A couple of days ago, I got to enjoy the wonderful flavors of New King and as usual, left with a stomach full and a happy belly. Due to me leaving on my world trip, the family decided to come together and eat. Because that is what we do and enjoy the most - food. Good food!
First of all, they do not take reservations. You have to get there in person to ask for a table, after which they will either place you or give you a time to come back. As we were with seven people, the latter happened to us. We arrived there at 5:30 PM, were supposed to get our table at 7 PM but 20 minutes later we got a call that a group had cancelled and we could get our table right away. Yay us!
Where are the nomnoms?
Right here! As we had to wait for my 
I ordered the Wonton soup, which is a soup with sorta dumplings with meat. The broth was wonderful as were the wontons itself.
Accompanied by several beers, we ordered our main course. This consisted of a bunch of dishes and varieties of rice and noodles.
Among them were Prawns in Hung Lak sauce. It was spicy but oh-so delicious.
Followed by Spareribs in Hung So style. Wondefully made. Also, the style and/or the sauce were both a pleasant surprise to me.
Squid with salt and pepper, which unfortunately I didn't try because I was digging my way through the ribs.
At last, we had a mixed meat dish which had Peking Duck, Babi Pangang and Cha Siew and one of my favourites since I was a kid.
I think I can say that this is one of my favourite restaurants in Amsterdam and I will be back here for sure.
