Japanese Pancake World
If the Dutch are famous for pancakes of meat, seafood and vegies, so are the Japanese. At the continent’s only shop specialising in okonomiyaki (literally ‘cook as you like’), you’ll get yours in a hot iron dish with your choice of fillings, topped with flakes of dried fish. There’s a J-pop backdrop and barely two dozen seats.

Wagamama
The long rows of rectangular tables, laid out cafeteria-style, are often filled with hipsters fortifying themselves for bike trips or nights on the town. Staples include chicken ramen, Japanese curries and fried noodles or rice.

Zen
Let’s be frank: many Japanese restaurants are lovely, elegant poseurs. Zen, however, offers cooking like okāsan (mum) used to make: domburi (bowls of rice with various ingredients on top), sushi and tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet) are just the start. Decor is minimalist Dutch-meets-Japanese. It’s also popular for takeaway.
