Utrecht, Netherlands At Zinnia Japanese Restaurant – To ‘All You Can Eat’ Or Not

Many Japanese restaurants within the Netherlands provide the ‘All you could consume’ business version which you might assume (and plenty of do!) is value for cash because you can eat as a whole lot as you can, however honestly, IT IS NOT!


The eating place has a nice outside terrace for the warmer months.

A few months ago Dutchman and I were at Zinnia Japanese eating place placed in Transwijk Park in Utrecht southwest. We were eyeing this eating place for YEARS however never made it till final May while an opportunity came. There was an event within the park, the Bevrijdingsfestival (Liberation/Freedom Day Festival)which we were curious to attend. This is a yearly occasion and the closing time we attended turned into many moons ago. Thus, time to re-take a look at it out and I notion we could integrate this with dinner at Zinnia.

Zinnia’s region in a park makes this eating place quite particular. It is all green right here and across it is a small animal and kids’s park as properly which could pass nicely with own family weekend visits. Just ideal.

While surfing the menu, Dutchman and I we have been faced with a query, nicely as a substitute, a choice to make – To ‘all you may eat’ or now not?

Not many humans are aware, or desire to well known this but the ‘All you can devour’ business model in eating places is based totally on income and calculated risk. They about recognise the quantity of meals a mean individual can take. Of course you’ve were given some who can consume for two people however they may be far and few in between, and will therefore not make the difference while summed up.

There are absolutely 2 most important hazards of this version for clients:

  • Not healthful at all – You are quite pressured to consume more than everyday because you are stuck in the ‘cost for money’ limbo. The voice to your head, ‘Eat as a good deal as you can because you paid for it!’ And followed with the aid of, ‘Eat extra. It’s loose!!!’ So you pass domestic feeling sick from overeating. You genuinely experience like shit.
  • More high priced – Yes, this feature honestly comes out greater steeply-priced than going ala carte. I mean how a whole lot are you able to actually eat? If you go ala carte you just want a few dishes.

So our decision: GO ALA CARTE

It was the excellent decision for this evening because we left full inside the stomach and glad, there was no overeating tragedy in any respect, hallelujah! Moreover, we paid about 20% less of the ordinary tarrif if we went for the ‘All you may consume’ alternative.

As for the food, we concept it became pretty desirable, the quantities had been small even though however that is how it's miles in Japanese restaurants. I observed but that the entirety changed into salty. Maybe I had an excessive amount of of the kikkoman sauce that I felt dehydrated and continuously yearning for fluids the whole nighttime at home.

The lesson found out here: Stick to ala carte, except you may devour like a horse.


We began with a few prawn crackers from the house which can be greater traditional Chinese than Japanese. I might no longer be amazed if the proprietor of this eating place is a Chinese!


The first set of ala carte we ordered: Sashimi, yaki soba, tempura and roast red meat.


Playing with the chopsticks with the Dutchman, and these Royal Club ginger ale liquids are quite pleasant and clean.


I like that the restaurant has glass partitions. You can see the greenery round you.


I am loving the nigiris, gunkan, tempura and sashimi I ordered. We ordered a few more: Yasai itami, beef steak chunks in garlic, fried fowl fingers and French fries which the Dutchman ate with chopsticks, haha.
