.Alan Y.

I was sick while in Stockholm, and I found this place because a nice hot bowl of pho usually picks me up. I must say, that this is probably the cleanest Vietnamese restaurant that I've been to anywhere in the world. The employees probably don't see many Asian people around, and they smiled when I ordered using the Vietnamese names of dishes. I'm not Vietnamese, but this type of food is everywhere in California, so I'm very experienced in this type of cuisine. I decided on the prix fixe menu which allows an appetizer, entree and desert for something like $30 US or 245 SEK. I ordered the cha gio (fried spring rolls), a pho bo (beef noodle soup) and the cafe sua da (iced coffee). This was probably the most expensive bowl of pho, spring rolls and coffee that I've ever had. This is probably a $15 US or 120 SEK meal at home. My food was served promptly and was presented nicely. The cha gio was pretty good, the iced coffee tasted a bit off. I can't put my finger on what I didn't like about it. When the pho came, I noticed the temperature was only lukewarm. The broth needs to be steaming hot. Your glasses should fog up, and you should break into a sweat while eating a bowl of pho. This was not even bathtub warm. The broth was also incredibly salty. I love salt, but it was actually too salty to enjoy. I ate a few pieces of beef, and had a couple of spoonfuls of broth. Pho should also be served with basil and cilantro but I received neither. Perhaps this is just a different style of pho than I am accustomed to, but I didn't enjoy my soup. Upon asking for the check, my server saw my half full bowl and said "It tastes bad?" I didn't have the heart to tell her yes, so I said it was fine and I left. I'm very lucky to have access to higher quality pho at lower prices (64 SEK) at home, so the disappointing food with the high prices (149 SEK almost $20!!! for a single bowl alone) was not worth the visit. Their other food might be great, but I didn't risk coming back for more disappointment. Sorry, but its true! Three stars for being super clean and for having prompt service.

Chicken pho

Quite a homey feel to the restaurant, I like the vibe. Service was a bit slow. Had to really grab their attention so I can get the menu and for them to take my order. Ordered chicken pho and the amount of the actual soup wasn't as much as I'm used to. Soup tastes really good though. Could've served more herbs. The rice noodles were also slightly over cooked. 4 stars as the broth tastes really good.

Beef Pho

Excellent beef pho they serve! I tried many pho at many different country, but this is one of the best! Asked the owner about the receipt, she said it is from her mother's house made for long time.

One of the best Pho's I have yet had and in Stockholm of all places! There are no borders. I asked for hot and wow was it hit also I still can't work out how to do this but the flank steak stayed rare even when sitting in that dang soup for 8-10 mins. One of those mysteries I fear I will never solve. Also some beautifully superfresh Prawn and chicken Spring rolls. Overall good Quality Vietnamese Street food! I can't really comment on the atmosphere as well it was about 4pm in the afternoon as my flight had been delayed! But just what I needed!

Very decent Pho and about the only Vietnamese restaurant in this area of town. My only comment is that I possibly miss some of the saltiness I've experienced at other restaurants and versions of Pho but otherwise very nice, clearly recommended and I can't wait to come back and try the other dishes.

Phô Bò. I spiced it with a dash of fish sauce and sriracha.  Yummy.

Great pho soup! It is in Gamla Stan, close to the train station. NOT a tourist trap. Great location and really good food served by very nice people.

I decided to go here for lunch based on my Yelp search. We came in a little before they opened and…read moresat outside. There were two other families waiting already. Once they were open, it took a long time between us being given menus to finally getting our food- 50 minutes. They should've given us our side while we were waiting for the board. We ordered a side of salami and Swedish cheese and the hairy pig board. I enjoyed the side, but the board not so much. The board consisted of wild boar sausage with broche bun, wild boar taco, peppercorn fries, and wild boar lasagna. The board was quite heavy and salty. I didn't have enough stomach space to even try the taco. I did enjoy the fries, but it's not enough for me to want to return.

When staying next to Gamla Stan we read that this was a place not to be missed..only it was so easy…read moreto miss and we had to give a pretty good search before finally locating it. This place is tucked below street level and is very intimate and downright cozy with its low beam wood ceiling, wood tables in every cranny it can fit to accommodate guests, and a tiny little bar. You can find this place outside by the wooden sign with the boar on it, then simply peer down into the low window and if you see a hairy pig nomming on a sausage, congratulations! You're in the right place. We stopped in not long before closing time and that was probably the only reason we were able to get a much coveted table. The barkeep was nice and let us put in a quick order while also getting us drinks. Unfortunately for me, there were not very many gluten free tapa options on the menu, but there were a few naturally gf. The salami and sausages were thought to have gluten so I went with the smoked shell on shrimp, a cheese dip, and some salad with olives. I wasn't crazy about the smoked shrimp but the olives and cheese were good. The husband enjoyed a sausage in bun which he said was great. Overall we liked the vibe and I think if you can eat the locally sourced meats like my husband it's probably a pretty solid place. If you're gf or allergy you'll probably still be hungry at the end of the meal like I was.

A very quiet and romantic place to start your night OR end with a nightcap. It is a smaller venue…read moreso groups of 6+ would be difficult to accommodate. I came in on a Friday night and had terrific service and very friendly customers who welcomed me as I was the only American at the bar. I enjoyed four rounds of drinks, three Swedish Craft Beers and a French Aged Cider. The staff were very happy to share their best selection with me! They offer small palates, appetizers, and gourmet meats and cheeses to pair with their extensive Beer, Wine, and Cocktail lists. If you are an explorer and like to venture out to new venues like me, this place was more local and a typical Swedish hangout for the younger crowd. One disclaimer that didn't make this a perfect experience, there was a terrible stink/ sewage problem the night I was in.. Not sure if it was with their piping or back of house but it was quite fowl. I'm sure this was a one night problem but it got in the way of catching the aromas of both the cider and beer! A weird thing to mention but it was the laugh of the bar that night. Hope to come back another time and enjoy their updated drink and food lists!

Wooden benches outside and a small eating area with bar inside. I did not get what all the hype was about, but than again I am certainly not one of the 'cool kids' - the old crank that I am. The early afternoon sun was burning down on us with no shade in sight. So the cold beers went down quick, one after another. This naturally made a world of diffrence and may have been strategically orchestrated by members of my group. I had a mac and cheese which was surprisingly good. In hindsight, just about everything we ate in Stockholm was simply on another level. The quality and care that goes into the preparation is simply superior to what occurs back home. Dishes are kept simple and made with fresh ingredients. Everything is made to order. So all in all despite some of my initial reluctance we ended on a high note and had a great lunch. If you're young and hip this is definitely a place to go.

The pain au chocolat was also excellent: crisp layers with just the right amount of dark chocolate. Coffee was smooth and rich, and refills on brewed coffee are free. The café has a relaxed vibe, and even though it was busy, the service was quick and friendly. Prices are a bit high, but worth it for the quality. Recommend if you're looking for a great coffee and pastry spot, convenient to city center. Outdoor seating if you're lucky enough to land a spot. If not, there's a nice park across the way, if you order take away.

Although the passageway where the interior seating is situated seemed awkward it actually worked out well. Service, despite a crowd, was fairly quick, I would rate the coffee an A or 9/10 on the scale of strength, low acidity/smoothness. It is espresso based and made to exact order. There are serval options for milk (whole, oat, 1/2 and 1/2, etc). The major complaint would be that there is no easy place to throw away your rubbish, nor is there a place that is clearly evident to bust your dishes, which is much needed given that this is a super busy place.. The staff is too busy to bus tables regularly, which backs up the availability of seating . This is the major reason for a one star deduction.. TIP: You can buy beans or ground coffee for home brewing.

It's pretty much a one person show from what I could see. The owner attended to me efficiently and without the slightest hesitation. I'm sorry to say that I don't speak Swedish (I wish I did I can tell you) but he was able to communicate with me and for that I will always be grateful. My plate had, if I recall correctly, four breaded and fried herring fillets. It had a coleslaw (which I found a surprising addition, creamy mashed potatoes, pickled cucumbers, red onions, and a little wedge of crispbread. I loved every bite. It was a generous plate. I particularly enjoyed eating a combination of the potatoes, cuke, onion, and fish on a corner of the crispbread as I munched away. There are a few nearby picnic type tables. So there was a place I could sit and enjoy this meal overlooking the water and a corner of the old town. If you find yourself in Stockholm, do yourself a favor and go to here. Even if you think you don't like herring, try it this way. I bet you'd be surprised.
