Frequently asked
- Where can I park?
- Witte de Withstraat is paid parking. The Schouwburgplein and Museumpark car parks are both a short walk away. By metro or tram, get off at Beurs or Eendrachtsplein.
- Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
- Yes. Our Veggie gyoza's, Truffle Shiitake, Miso Eggplant, Edamame, Tempura Crackers and the No Meat Night mazemen are all vegetarian and marked V on the menu. For vegan or gluten-free, ask us at the bar — we will tell you exactly what is in a dish rather than guess. Allergies: let us know and we will think along with you.
- Can I book a table?
- We do not take reservations. You just walk in. Coming with a large group? Email us and we will see what works.
- Do you deliver?
- No, we do not deliver and we are not on any delivery app. Everything is made to share at the table, and gyoza's do not travel well. Come and sit with us.
- Can I pay by card?
- Card and contactless always work. We take cash too, but card is preferred.
