Lao Wai — Restaurant in Stockholm

Hoooly shit. I think this was one of my, and my partners, best meals we have ever had. The Umami was breathtaking. I doubt I have ever tasted some of the notes included in this dish (nr25) ever in my life. We also ordered their artichoke Oolong along (hehe) the dish and it was like a married couple. The tea on its own gets a 7/10. Solid. But with the mushroom dish it got elevated to 10/10.

Dish size def. Sharable, but as usuall we would have liked a biiiit more (most likely bc it was so tasty).

Atmosphere... the room is tiny, and the walls clean. So if you go here in the evening you may time it with a large group- making it very echoy and loud.

All in all, one of the few 5 star ratings I have ever left. Amazing experience. Hardly spoke a word with...

An authentic experience of Chinese cuisine. Top Notch!

I have been there several times now, always good, never disappointed. Yes, there are some dishes that I like a little more than others, but that is part of the fun. Take some friends, order anything that interests you, and then share. Only criticisms that I have are that the portions could be slightly smaller and cheaper to have even more variety on the table. Currently everything is the size of a main dish, so your the amount you can explore is really determined by the number of people that come with you.

Verdict: 4.5

NOTE: The place is becoming increasingly popular, book...

Cozy place with shareable portions of delicious vegan Chinese food. I had the Jia Chang Dou Fu (24) - very flavorful, medium spice levels. I also had a pot of the hojicha, which came with a timer to ensure the brew time was just right for flavor. Everything was perfect. Service was kind and attentive. It was packed for Thursday dinner-time, including a couple larger groups. There was one waitstaff and she did an impressive job managing everything for all the tables. It took some time to get my food, but considering it was so busy, I can understand and I enjoyed my tea...
