What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Ron Gastrobar Oriental Downtown for its inspiring and creative Asian fusion cuisine, with many highlighting the dim sum, Peking duck, and attentive service. However, some find the value for money lacking, citing slow service and a desire for more 'wow' factor dishes given the price point. The ambiance is generally well-received, though the music volume is occasionally noted as being too loud.
"As an Asian, At first I was having doubt since I was a bit skeptical about it, but it turned out that the food they make is very inspiring and creative! The taste and texture are one of the best comparing to other Asian restaurants. The atmosphere portrays some sort of old Shanghai vibe to me…😂"
James H. Deng
"Overall good but for the price, 150euro, missing the wow factor.
Was not just us but many tables the same , service of the food was slow which meant we did not have time for dessert . We had two bites , and 4 dishes.
Nothing really bad with the food but we were expecting something special , for the price, what saved the food was the sauces, but it was missing the wow factor .
Service, atmosphere and decor were good."
Pascale
"Great restaurant. Was recommended to us by a friend. The food was delicious (especially the shrimp curry) and service was fab. The only minor comment would be the music was a little too loud. We are in our early 30’s, but even for us we felt it was a little loud. Other than that, top marks."

Authentic Thai flavors at Bird restaurant
The bold turnaround from Michelin-starred chef Ron Blaauw to Ron Gastrobar two years ago has proven to be a tremendous success. At the time, renowned chef Ron Blaauw could no longer identify with the idea that top-level dining goes hand in hand with six amuses, four types of bread, seven courses and a friandis trolley. Blaauw completely changed course and opted for a totally different dining experience.

Tip 10 – Best beoordeelde restaurants |
Ron Gastrobar Oriental – Voor alleen een glas wijn en dimsum aan de bar, of uitgebreid dineren aan tafel, het is hier een Orientaals feestje. De beste beoordeling gaat volgens ons stiekem wel naar de dimsum. En dan vooral die met de foie gras.
