    *****Updated 9 April 2019***** Came in around 13:30 with a party and was seated promptly. However, service was lacking, as we were ignored because the server decided to serve other tables. *****Updated 2 Nov 2021***** Cat robot serves food. Book a reservation for prompt service!

    Nice bar and atmosphere

    Nice surprise having authentic dim sum and Cantonese cuisine here in Stockholm downtown. Everything we ordered were delicious from different dim sum to stir fried rice noodles, flat noodles and congee. Highly recommend if you want authentic Cantonese dim sum.

    The decor is beautiful and the servers are friendly, and there's even outdoor seating available. However, the main course menu is unique and very limited, so if you're looking for a specific entree, you may be disappointed. We had the minced meat dumplings and stir fried chicken appetizers.

    We came here without a reservation one night hoping to try this place out and it was a miracle they had room for us! It was super busy but they managed to fit us in and the food was amazing. The dumplings were so good, every dish on the tapa menu looked so good. Our server was amazing too, definitely recommend checking this place out, and I look forward to returning here!

    After checking Yelp, we found this place to have a late lunch. For some reason, we just can't eat on a normal schedule when traveling! We can't be the only ones, right? Anyway, we walked in and there's a sign that says "order at the bar" but it still wasn't clear if we sat ourselves too. So, we asked for a table for two and she gave us two menus, said to order at the bar, and sit wherever we'd like. So we grabbed a corner table outside which was perfect! Then I went inside, ordered for the two of us, then had to carry out two glasses of our drinks, our own bottle of water, two more glasses, and 2 packages of silverware. I didn't mind this and I think it's only during lunch on a weekend, but just something to know. Personally, I liked ordering and paying right away and grabbing our own table. It's almost fast food-like, but the food was nothing like that at all. We got a number to put on our table and our food was brought to us. We got 11 pieces of Dim Sum which were all very good, served with a special sauce. And we also ordered the udon noodles with beef. Again, very good! Prices were better than I had seen before, which is why I really don't mind doing some serve-yourself work. And tap water is free! Great value, awesome spot, definitely would recommend! FYI, the menu has English subtitles. :)

    Scallops & gambas

    This restaurant is located in one of the most touristy streets of Stockholm and as of such its easy to discard but that´s a huge mistake. I am so happy to have found a more than decent alternative in this part of the city, that I otherwise usually tend to avoid since it is very busy during daytime and extremely quiet by night. We tried five different asian tapas each & my favorites were the gambas with wasabicream & the scallops with asparagus & hot sauce. I have sensitive taste buds & the crispy duck made my eyes tear up & I had to ask for an extra napkin but it was all worth it. The tree different ice creams - sesame, green tea & red beans - that we had for dessert didn't taste like anything I've tried before. They proved to be a good way to neutralize the flavors. The service was nice & I liked that the dishes were served a few at a time & not all together. With that being said it would probably be enough with 3-4 tapas per person. The price per tapas ranges from 65-95 kr, which is fair when taking the quality of the ingredients and the effort put into the presentation of the dishes into account.

    Today's lunch. Superb!

    Stockholmers are spoiled when it comes to Chinese and east Asian restaurants. You will pretty much find one in every block, restaurants offering all you can eat buffets, noodle houses and hole in the wall sushi bars. Most of these are more or less "westernized" which unfortunately basically means a lack of passion and enthusiasm. But there are restaurants that actually have the little extra spark to their food that makes them stand out among the Stockholm Asians restaurants. For one of the best dining experience just look for the blue and orange sign Pong. The Pong chain of restaurants can boast with fifteen restaurants around Stockholm and they all offer the same excellent experience and high standard. If you want to take your experience further, a visit to Pong's recently opened restaurant Waipo won't disappoint you. The concept, apart from the high quality cooking and the passion for authentic Asians food, is to introduce the Stockholmers to the real deal - how the Chinese dine. In China you don't order one dish - you eat from many different dishes sharing with each other. Up till now this has been both expensive and tricky to do in Stockholm. Waipo calls it "Asian tapas" and this is a good description. You order from a menu a couple of dishes instead of one (three to four dishes are recommended) and the food is served to you as they are made. Order from the built-in iPad at your table (your order will immediately be sent to either the kitchen or the bar) or call on one of the friendly and helpful waiters. The food is outstanding. I have tried most of the dishes on the menu and the fireworks of flavors in my mouth is nothing I've experienced since my two trips to China. And all this without eating in to your entire travel budget. Come to Waipo for what to date is the best Asian dining in Stockholm at the moment!

    Incredible Asian Fusion cuisine! Started with chicken & shrimp dumplings then a main course of spicy noodle soup. The flavors were amazing and meat was perfect. Also a plus for lovely atmosphere and cocktails!

    Interesting Asian fusion tapas experience. We were drawn by the name of the restaurant as we walked by a few times during our stay in Stockholm, so we decided to give it a try on our last night. The food was good but it was a bit overpriced for what it is. We noticed most people came for drinks and just ordered 1 or 2 dishes. Maybe that's why our experience felt quite different from theirs cuz we came in only for the food.

    Scallop and fish with sesame crust yum!
    Tess C.

    I just agree with every good thing already said:) nice place and not too pricy. Took very long for our dessert to arrive but we were not in a hurry and the staff offered free coffee, and the fried banana with ice cream was worth waiting for:) our tasting menu of 9 small dishes was awsome, winner was the fish with sesame crust:)

    My first time to Sthlm Tapas and it did not let me down. First off, let's talk about the food. So I…read moream a huge fan of Tapas, what can you not love about ordering multiple small plates and enjoying a little bit of everything? Well, I love it! The way it works here is that you are given a menu that you, yourself, pick the items on. Then you give the crossed of menu to your waitress/waiter and they put it in the computer and voila, after a short while you have your food. Simple, no miss-communication, and it adds to the fun. Our company of 7 requested our menus back since we otherwise would forget what we had ordered, and also to be able to order more if and when we wanted. I got the grilled Feta cheese with watermelon, butter fried chantarelle toast, quesedilla and pan fried potato wedges. First off, if you have never tried grilled feta with watermelon go straight to the supermarket, buy some feta and watermelon, go home, grill it up and be amazed! I sure was. It was SO good! The Quesedilla was also delicious, very spicy and they made it with creme cheese (hello goodness!!). The potatoes, well ... they were potatoes and tasted like potatoes should. The one thing I did not like was the butter fried chantarelle toast, I mean ... I would have guessed it because it said butter fried and I'm not a fan of butter tasting things. My husband ended up eating that one. The rest of the company thought their food was overall good, there was some complaints that there could have been more spices and salt on several things but I find that I'll rather add it myself than having something overly salty. About the place, where we were seated it was very crowded, when the place was full it seemed hard for the waitresses to get around, but from the looks of it they knew what they were doing. They might have had another space with seating entering towards the opposite, in fact, I think they did but I never explored it more than just seeing it. Overall, it was a great experience (the company also makes a huuuge impact right?) .. it's time to grill up some feta.

Service was good. Loved the ox cheek - it was so tender it fell apart as you looked at it and once in my mouth it just melted and merged with my soul. They also have a slider (mini burger) which is also a hit. I'd come back, no doubt.

The wait... we sat and sat waiting for water and food and the longest wait was the bill 2. The waiter... we are Americans and speak only English. We know this is not ideal. However, our waiter walked abruptly to our table (after we waited for quite awhile) and stopped and did not say anything. My husband and I looked at each other and didn't know what to do but then he said "ready"?!?! And proceeded to take our order with no anything... we thought maybe he didn't speak English but it wasn't just that.. the vibe was way off like we had done something horrible wrong and he was angry and annoyed with us but we did not know what we did. The rest of the ordering/food delivery went the same way. 3. After the vibe was way off we sat waiting for the bill for maybe 30 min... no wine or dessert or anything that looked like we wanted to linger.. when the waiter came back with the bill the vibe was even more odd... so when my husband signed for the bill he kept asking us to "fill in the numbers" ... we didn't understand, he got agitated and that gave me time to look at the credit card notification that came in ... 105 USD?!? No... so I asked for the itemized receipt. He gave it to me and quickly walked off. This was not our bill... the waiter never came back and I had to get up and talk with the manager. He said they were working on it. When someone came to the table they said they could not void the ticket but they could give us cash back... for us, leaving Sweden this didn't work well but we took it.... All in all.... The entire time was odd and the vibe was way off... I could make judgments as to why but not going to here.

The bikini and fries were good but the bruschetta was presented as one uncut tomato, one raw clove of garlic, a few wilted basil leaves and a toasted bun. We were told to rub the ingredients into the bun ourselves and add olive oil as needed. A bit messy and strange - if I wanted to prepare my own meal I would have stayed home.
