One of my favourite places - Edit
I have been here plenty of times for take away and recently visited to eat in as well which was a great experience. When we have take away it even stays warm for an hour while we drive home.
Read moreThe food tastes amazing every time. Great replicas of the Dutch-Chinese take out we used to get when I still ate meat. Service is friendly as well. Really glad that I live an hour away or I would go here every week...
Only complaint is that the vegan options for dessert are made with B&J cookie dough instead of vanilla which does not fit the options they offer (e.g. lychee or ginger) and it isn't mentioned on the menu either.

Almost the whole menu is vegan, they still have some dishes with egg… Great for take out or to eat at the restaurant. Tastes like any chinese restaurant in the netherlands, but then better and animal friendly!😊

Perfect old school chinese - Edit
Do you miss Chinese restaurants? Not just the babi pangang and bami like you used to have, but the full experience? Or maybe like us, you miss the restaurant 'Soy' in Utrecht? Now you can finally stop looking. This is vegan Chinese heaven.

Best Chinese food experience! - Edit
If I have to choose my last supper, it would be here. 🤩🤩🤩 Since we have discovered this place, we are totally over the moon and became a regular guest instantly. And not only us, but also the many, many guests that come here for decades, or drive from all over the Netherlands to Rotterdam are the living proof of this fantastic place. The food is always fresh and tasty. The people are so friendly and the atmosphere is cosy. They offer both take away as well as a small dining area with an a la carte menu. Sometimes they have ‘buffet nights’. Big plus: If you have a food allergy (f.e. gluten), you can eat here safely! If you want to dine in, make sure you make a reservation upfront. It is always fully booked. Open 7/7 days a week. 🥰 Fun fact: this vegan heaven is situated between a grillroom and an Islamic butcher. 😉

Worth a detour outside the city centre - Edit
De Oude Plek brings back memories of my father, bringing Chinese take away when my mother was not at home. It is vintage Chinese (Dutch style, not authentic) and the whole restaurant breathes this atmosphere. The staff is very friendly, the food nostalgic and delicious and is delivered at the table very quickly. A huge recommendation!

All can be made vegan - Edit
Full vegetarian restaurant and all, except 2 or 3 dishes, can be made vegan. All dishes like any other Chinese restaurant in the Netherlands, but then for vegetarians/vegans.
Read moreNice to dine in, nice to take home. It is a very good thing that I live a 35 minute drive away 🙈
Pros: Very tasty , Lots of choices, Leftovers can be heated in pan or microwave
Cons: Lots of plastic when taking out

Everything you want in one restaurant. I can write a lot but you just have to go and taste for yourself. Typical Dutch Chinese with all the favourites. Also in a nice 90" chinese design. Love it.

Appearance is deceiving - Edit
Don't be fooled by the facade and surrounding area: this is a real gem worth visiting.
Read moreDe Oude Plek holds a special place in my culinairy heart. It was one of the first restaurants where I could properly go out for diner without a hassle (or squat atmosphere) when I became vegan 20 years ago. I still regulary go here to either dine in or even for take away, even though it's an 80 km round trip by car.
I absolutely love the babi pangang and the chicken in spicy sauce. Since a while they also have proper vegan desserts (Ben & Jerry ice cream + fruit + vegan whipped cream), so now I'll either have to be starved or ask for a doggy bag...
Portions are very generous, prices are decent and the staff is super friendly! I also love to see the wide range of different customers, from old hippies to Surinamese families: it's hard not to fit in. :)
Pros: Beste babi pangang around, Big portions, big taste, small price, Super friendly staff
Cons: Not nextdoor to me!

Delicious Chinese food! - Edit
It's so good, try the babi pangang and you won't be disappointed. we had the babi pangang and tau si sue ngau (brown soy slices with black bean sauce) and both were very good. together with a few tsing tao beers a delicious meal. very friendly and helpful staff. their is even vegetarian squid on their menu. and vegan icecream. it all says vegetarian on the menu, but almost all food is vegan as well. ask to make sure.

Old school, new recipe - Edit
If you have been raised in Europe, you may have eaten at Chinese restaurants. They serve specially tailored food that’s based on Chinese cuisine but adapted for the European palette. This is combined with a unique atmosphere inside the restaurant with cheesy decoration and Chinese music blaring from the speakers.
Read moreAt “De Oude Plek” in Rotterdam you can relive this experience, but this time in vegetarian or vegan style. The decoration hasn’t changed for decades, nor has the service. A Chinese person will take your order, bellow something incomprehensible into a window to the kitchen and some minutes later your food will be served.
And just like in the old time it cheap and plentiful. We went for “menu A” which consists of fried rice (not nearly as oily as in other Chinese restaurants), vegetables (roughly chopped), sate (fake meat on a stick in peanut sauce) and a mystery container with slices of fake meat in sweet and sour sauce. The latter was our absolute favourite because it was the richest in taste and texture.
All food is so authentic and rich in taste, that any meat eater would be fooled by “De Oude Plek”. In fact, we simply had to trust the chef that it was really vegan because it tastes exactly like the real thing. And just like in the old days, the servings are so plentiful that we had left overs for the next day. The only difference: we didn’t feel bloated the next day because of any excess oil or fat.
In short: if you want food that’s rich in taste and high in nostalgic value, do visit “De Oude Plek”. With regards to covid, they may only be available for take out, but that only makes it more of a sentimental journey!

Ouderwets lekker - Edit
Veel vegan opties!!
Read moreVan wegen C konden we niet blijven eten dus een ophaal menu gekozen (menuA). Helaas was deze niet 100% vegan maar werd meteen geregeld toe ik aan gaf vegan te eten.
Wat was het weer ouderwets lekker, bijna zo als ik het mij herinnerde uit de tijd dat ik nog vega was
Zeer warme aan rader!!
Dit menu voor 2 was ruim genoeg voor 3
Pros: Heerlijk en veel eten, Veel vegan opties, Zeer goed betaalbaar
Cons: Niet in de buurt van mijn huis, wel omrijadres ;)

So so good! I love "Dutch Chinese" food and miss it quite often since going vegan - the veggie options don't tend to be great. But this restaurant is the exception: fantastic meat substitutes, sauces, spices, tastes just like "the real thing". My non-veg friends & family agree which is always a good sign! Highly recommend.

Vega Chinees! - Edit
Zeer uitgebreide kaart compleet vega!
Read moreErg goede vleesvervangers.
Ook voor vleeseters de moeite waard.
Uitstraling is als een eenvoudige authentiek Chinees restaurant.
Wel behoorlijk ver van 't centrum van Rotterdam. Wij namen de watertaxi en hebben daarna gelopen, maar je parkeert er gratis voor de deur.
Bezoek is zeker de moeite waard.
Pros: Uitgebreide kaart. , Snelle correcte bediening. , Alles vega, dus niet perongeluk toch vlees.

Excellent. - Edit
It's like the traditional Chinese restaurants in NL that you remember. But plantbased. Its exactly as you remember it. It even applies to non vegans so you can take your family.
Read moreThe buffet is 100% Vegan. The menu is labelled vegetarian so you need to ask to be sure.
