I read this question "Where can I eat dishes that feature in western countries' Chinese restaurants?" and I got very curious. I always apreciated authentic Chinese food very much and I (sort of) knew that the dishes served in Ocident are, let's say, a striped down or adapted version, to serve better our tastes. I was not expecting it to be so radical though. (I am starting to wonder how sushi really tastes in Japan, or if they even have it like us).
Can I actually eat real asian food in a restaurant either in Benelux?
If yes, are there any guides or resources that will allow me to easily find them?
Best Answer
Of course there are specialized restaurants that offer the "real" Chinese food. I don't think there is a general method to find them, other than asking Chinese people that were not born in the country. They will know these places in the city they are living. Except for restaurants, there are also dedicated supermarkets that sell items that you won't find in your own supermarket.
In my city Rotterdam, Netherlands, I went to such a restaurant with a Chinese colleague. The food was a lot alike the food I had in restaurants in China.

Answer 2
The streets around Van Wesenbeekstraat in Antwerp, Belgium, are known as the local "Chinatown". You will find a lot of restaurants there that are operated and frequently visited by the local Chinese community. My sister used to live in China for a few years and confirmed me that you can find "real" Chinese food there. There are also some restaurants in the same neighborhood with other authentic Asian cuisines.
Answer 3
Antwerp has a few. They have a few "Sichuan" restaurants? I tried "Dragon City", which is quite authentik, and not so expensive either? Add: Langeleemstraat 88,2018 Antwerpen
Answer 4
In Amsterdam you will find such restaurants in Zeedijk, the end of the street nearest Nieuwmarkt, as well as in some of the streets around it. Indeed the bit of Amsterdam that is 'almost' China town.
