My fiancé and I were instantly hooked after trying SEN Street. Umeå is a four hour drive from where…read morewe lived, and we gladly made the trip with the anticipation of chowing down on authentic Asian cuisine. There are Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Malaysian, and Vietnamese options. The restaurant is really a gastronomical love letter to the star dishes from each nation, and the outcome is superb. I'm surprised this place is in a mall! Seating is limited inside the store, but there is more right outside in the main mall area. They also do takeout! The service is really friendly, the flavors are delicious, and I'm making myself really hungry for some gua bao and char siu. The decor is also fun - like being at a little food stall in the streets of your Asian country of choice. Eating here is always a great experience! If you're in Umeå, go to SEN Street! You won't be disappointed!

This was a great restaurant and first meal in Sweden. I was in Umeå for work and the vendor took…read moremy co-worker and I here for lunch. It's amazing how much quieter restaurants are outside the US. So easy to talk without having to raise my voice much. I don't eat seafood or fish at all and so walking in, I thought I was doomed as it smelled like that's all they were doing was frying fish. Thankfully, they had a meatball and pasta dish aside from the fish they were serving so I enthusiastically opted for that. I thought it was going to be the famous Swedish meatballs, but it actually came in a marinara sauce and it was divine. Flavor was just perfect, not over seasoned meatballs with extreme garlic marinara, but just the right balance of herbs that made for such a pleasant dining experience. I also tried the cheese bread as our hosts were really excited about it. Also good and apparently a staple for Köksbaren. The tone of the restaurant made me feel like I walked into a really big kitchen and sat down at Grandma's table for a meal. I liked it. Really cozy and inviting. In a great area of Umeå close to other restaurants and stores. I'm thinking this is the main area of the town which isn't all that large in population. I'd totally come to this restaurant again.

Food is flavorful, at times heavy, but not stellar food. However if you find yourself hungry for Swedish cuisine in Umea there's really only this place and Rex that makes acceptable food. Don't bother skimping on spending 85kr on a lurid doner. Hot Lunch time meals are about 115kr and the salad, bread and coffee is self-serve. One time I got a vegetarian risotto that tasted like Mac and cheese and another time I got a herb roasted pumpkin dish with other root vegetables that was quite savory and delicious. So it's a kind of inconsistent place, though I haven't had any bar food yet. Oh yeah I see elk is on the menu.
