CHINESE
Most restaurants near the Leidseplein dish up greasy stuff for tourists and late-night drink-
ers, but this one bucks the trend, with freshly prepared regional dishes enjoyed by a big
Chinese clientele. Good options are the razor clams and various stir-fried greens. Added
bonus: the kitchen is open till midnight, and later on weekends.
