About us

Making Asian culture part of everyday Rotterdam

Asian Social Rotterdam started as a small picnic event between friends. It has grown into a city-wide community for people with an Asian background and for anyone in Rotterdam drawn to Asian culture — students, expats, professionals and locals alike.

Share the culture

Food nights, festivals, film screenings, tea ceremonies, K-pop and anime meetups — we put Asian culture on the Rotterdam map, one event at a time.

Build real friendships

Whether you grew up with the culture or just fell for it, our events are built so nobody stands alone: small groups, icebreakers, and hosts who introduce you.

Connect the city

We work with Rotterdam venues, restaurants and creators so the community keeps growing — and so local businesses meet an audience that loves what they do.

Our mission

Spreading Asian culture and helping it take root in Rotterdam

We want Asian culture in Rotterdam to be more than a restaurant menu. Our mission is to create open, high-quality moments where the culture is lived and shared — and where anyone in this city can take part.

  • 01Open by default. Free or low-cost events, always in English, no membership required.
  • 02Authentic, not touristy. Events are hosted by people from the culture being shared.
  • 03Rooted locally. We host in Rotterdam venues and collaborate with local businesses and creators.
  • 04Safe and welcoming. A clear code of conduct, and hosts who look after first-timers.
