  We only had chicken bites, beer and raspberry something which really was not worth what they charged for it. The chicken bites were nice but a small portion. When I was asked the size of beer I wanted (small, medium, large), I went with medium. Naturally, I ordered another medium because it was more like a small beer. The positives, I liked our servers and the atmosphere.

  Merdan is, without a doubt, the best waiter at Novels. He is extremely professional, kind, attentive, and dedicated – a true example of excellence in the art of hospitality. From now on, whenever we return here, we will make a reservation and specifically request to have him as our waiter. We would like to mention that in the past, we had less pleasant experiences with another waiter and one of the managers, whose behavior was arrogant and tactless. We are a group of 8 people, and we all agree that these colleagues could learn a lot from Merdan – both in terms of attitude and professionalism. Everything here is outstanding – the location, the menu, and the atmosphere – but it’s the relationship with the staff that truly makes the difference. We strongly encourage you to value and support waiters like Merdan, who genuinely elevate the standard of your establishment.

  The best sushi in all of Zaandam! Absolutely blown away by the quality — every sushi piece was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was spectacular: warm, attentive, and fast. And the restaurant itself? Simply gorgeous — stylish, cozy, and with such a lovely vibe. Highly recommend the sushi and their beef sandwiches — both were a hit. I’d come back in a heartbeat!

  When you enter the inside it feels cozy, so tried it for lunch. Unfortunately quite disappointed. A Japanese fried chicken salad which sounded very tasty on the menu, for 17.50 eur, but reality did not match the price. Elements missing or I did not taste it (sesame seeds and vinaigrette). Chicken was fried dry… and only few small pieces, looked sad. Kids menu was fine but pricy for what you get. Staff not all that great, especially one guy who clearly made an huge effort to pretend to be friendly.

  The food was as you'd expect of a restaurant we had, gyoza, carpaccio, and the chicken. These were all average.,the dessert was great I had a tiramisu which tasted rich and my wife had a dame blanch which according to her was average as well.
