“ This one was a bit weird. Food is good but I couldn't help but think it was made to the Dutch palate. Quite bland, as in specifically avoiding strong flavors of any kind. Perhaps asking for hot sauce is the play but I won't be going back to find out ”
“ Very authentic Cantonese flavor, have been here years ago (2005) and in year 2024 visit again, the taste didn't change or compromise throughout the years. The only thing changes is the price Staffs are very friendly and attentive, if you visit Utrecht and want to eat authentic Cantonese style food, don't miss it. ”
“ My rate: 4/5. A decent Chinese restaurant in Utrecht. Their dimsum was not the best but totally fine. Grilled Pork and Mapo tofu were delicious. Recommended! ”
“ Yummy indeed simply to say. Big selection to choose. ”
“ At first glance, I thought this restaurant was a Chinese restaurant adapted to Dutch taste but I was pleasantly surprised. I've eaten at Tai Soen several times so far and every time it's been fantastic. I definitely recommend eating here if you want to try authentic Cantonese dim sum. ”
“ Great Cantonese food! As a Cantonese myself, I always come back here to get my dim sum fix. Always reliable in terms of portions and flavours. This place is also bit more affordable compared to other places. Fast service too. Worth the 5 stars!! ”
“ Super friendly staff and good service. Food was cooked to order and fast. Flavours were on point. The roasted duck tasted great and was juicy but the skin was not as crispy and a bit more chewy. Consider it: Would recommend and would return. ”
“ Came for the authentic Cantonese dim sum that seem hard to find and was impressed with the quality and variety on offer, especially at almost any time of day. The remainder of the menu also seemed impressive with a variety of dishes going beyond just Cantonese cuisine. Service was great from all of the staff, and the interior has nice oriental decorations too. ”
