Good Asian experience, we took the 4 course menu, small dishes but overall satisfying. The service is good, young capable people and a light mood travels through the room.
I was seated on a bench, that was not confortable and that is the reason of the 4 starts. Putting so much effort on a good meal, pairing it with good wine and cocktails and not having a good time because of the seating arrangements is something that should be looked at.

Lovely lunch menu of flavorful small plates. We didn’t order from the a la carte menu but had our picks from the set menu. The lemon fish, the vinai beef, and the beetroot smoked salmon were amazing. The lunch menu has 4 plates for each person and the burst of umami with every bite is so much better than the Asian Michelin Bib Gourmand I’ve been to in the city. Great for a work lunch, a date, or just catching up with friends.

Had a fantastic dinner here with a large group of friends. From the start, the staff was really friendly and accommodating. We were a large group and the great thing was that all of us could order anything we wanted. Some got the Gastronomique menu, Social dinning menu, Social dinning à la cart, Street food items and the Thursday Lobster special.
The service was fantastic, yes it was slow, however since not everyone stuck to the same menu and some didn’t get a set menu it was expected. The staff made sure that everyone was able to eat together in courses (with a little wait at times). I applaud them for that since logistically it wasn’t very easy.
The food was great. There are many options from seafood, to meat to vegetarian. So you will definitely be able to find something for everyone. Also, the social dinning dishes are a good size, especially considering the number of dishes you can order. I did find some things tastier than others but overall the food was delicious!
To begin with as a 1st course the Vinai Beef was fantastic. It was a cold started but the beef was tended and it was one of my favorite dishes. The Umami Duck was also great, it was a little spicy which caught me by surprise but it was a great start to my meal. Then, Steamed Xiao Long Bao came hot, perfectly cooked and juicy. I did wish that the filling was a bit more flavorful but nonetheless it was tasty. Steamed Iberico Pork Neck was tended and was a nice light dish. The 3rd course came with a bowl of rice as well. The Eggplant Beef was another favorite of mine. Saucy, perfectly cooked, flavorful and was fantastic with the rice. The Spicy Teriyaki Chicken was also nice but not actually spicy. The duck I had as a started was way more. It was nice but it was really overshadowed by the beef since compared to it, it was a bit on the dryer end. I can also say that the Lemon Fish was highly praised and the Whole Lobster was perfection.
As a dessert the Coconut Lychee was very interesting. It included the popping candy which you could hear and feel when eating. It was unexpected but pleasant. The taste was ok, nothing special.
Cocktail wise, I tried the Pornstar Martini and it was a fantastic drink. It was perfectly balanced and served with a shot of cava on the side as it is meant to.
Overall a great restaurant, but it is better with less people or making sure everyone is ok with ordering a set menu. Then you probably wouldn’t need to wait long between courses.

I was pleasantly surprised by how flexible they were with menu choices. All of our orders arrived on time without any confusion. They also offer great non-alcoholic cocktail options. We really enjoyed the food, and the explanations from the staff were clear and helpful

The atmosphere in the inner part of the restaurant is cool. We were seated at the front (bar side) and it was a little less cozy but still nice. The staff is really nice and friendly. The food was amazing. The bao buns, sandwiches, the japanese curry and ramen were all amazing. Just to take into account, the access to the toilets is a bit complicated if you go with anyone with mobility issues or older. The stairs are super steep.

Very nice Asian Fusion Restaurant that will give you what you expect. I was alone there, didn’t have a reservation but got seated immediatelly. Staff was very friendly and took time to explain everything in detail. Service was great, it went very smooth and with no long waitings since I had a 3-course dinner, the timing for each course was perfect. The food itself was also amazing. Tasty, perfect size of portions.

Umami by Han on Overtoom promises a sophisticated take on modern Asian fusion, blending traditional dim sum and inventive sharing dishes in a sleek, contemporary setting. Unfortunately, while the kitchen shows promise, the overall experience leaves much to be desired.
The food, to its credit, tastes good. Flavors are balanced, and the kitchen clearly understands seasoning and texture at least, what the texture should have been. My crispy pork arrived only lukewarm, its once-crunchy exterior now softened and soggy. The dim sum, particularly the ha kau, suffered a similar fate delicate in taste but tepid to the touch. One can’t help but assume that the dishes had been left standing too long before service, which is a shame considering the culinary potential.
What truly undermined the evening, however, was the service. We waited a full ten minutes at the entrance before anyone acknowledged our presence. Once seated, things didn’t improve: ordering drinks became an exercise in patience, and our pre-dinner cocktails meant to set the tone took nearly twenty-five minutes to arrive. Ironically, the only thing that came swiftly was the bill.
Seated at the back of the restaurant, the atmosphere proved more bustling than buzzy. The space was overcrowded, and the noise level made conversation a strain. Any sense of refinement that the menu aspires to is quickly lost amid the din.
In the end, Umami by Han delivers food with promise but fails where it matters most in execution and hospitality. Warm flavors can’t compensate for lukewarm dishes and cold service. A restaurant experience, after all, is about more than taste it’s about care, timing, and the feeling that guests are welcome. On this visit, sadly, that ingredient was missing.

This is the best Asian restaurant that I have ever tried in Amsterdam. I ordered a 3-dish set. Every dish is perfectly cooked and plated. Coming from Hong Kong and this reminds me of the goodness of fusion asian taste. Love how I can mix and match and everything is in a smaller portion so even I am coming alone, I can still have all my comfort food in place.
The place is well decorated and location is convenient.
Last but not least, very friendly and helpful staff!

Top 10 dining experiences of 2025 for me. The food is excellent and very tasteful and the menu options are great.
Service is great as well although the waitresses are a bit enthousiast to sell extra drinks but it wasn’t annoying
Overalls highly recommended

By far our favorite restaurant in Amsterdam, possibly anywhere. The staff is really friendly, considerate, professional and helpful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great, very nicely decorated and welcoming. The main star, however, is the food. I can wholeheartedly recommend the social dining menu, with which you get a lot of different dishes in 3 or 4 courses, that are all easy to share. I just can not overstate how good the food is and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Amazing.
