Good food at outrageous prices. This is a classic westernized Chinese restaurant with a few options of authentic Chinese cuisine, which may for most guests be a good thing. They have a wide selection of typical dishes and the added option of having authentic Peking duck but it has to be ordered two days in advance and will set you back about 1800 SEK (!). The main setback of this establishment isn't the 80's atmosphere or the tacky furniture nor the service, which is fine, the main issue are the greatly exaggerated prices. Portions are small to normal and the quality of the food is between fair to good so there is absolutely nothing that would warrant such exorbitant prices. In fact, the takeout menu is more normally priced about 25-30% less. Considering the area, they have some stiff competition from far more innovative restaurants that despite their status, cost significantly less. The clientele is for the most part elderly who likely appreciate the very relaxed and familiar atmosphere but the prices have previously been much lower yet the menu has remained more or less unchanged...

For the price, this place is fantastic and it's a treasure that Stockholm should never let go...
Read moreI took the Mapo Tofu (I asked for it less spicy) and then the Cointreau-flambéed pineapple (I asked for no ice cream). The staff was very accomodating of my somewhat silly requests and gave me more pineapple to sub for the ice cream; I even got some nice fruit as a palate cleanser after the meal, and a fortune cookie, both on the house. Even though I was there due to a delayed train, by the end of the meal I was glad for SJ's characteristic incompetence.
The tofu dish was especially delicious, as well as the green tea, which made me let out an...
