Wonderful experience! - Edit
From starters to desserts the food is just amazing. Among the things we sampled was a vegan "shrimp" dish, that was unusual but quite delicious. Super friendly staff.

Amazing - Edit
I love most Asian kitchens but often not impressed by Chinese restaurants in Europe. This one was completely different. The place doesn’t look like much but both dishes we tried were absolutely amazing, best tofu we’ve ever had and pistachio ice cream was a delight. Staff were so friendly and service very quick despite a full house.

Must eat - Edit
Amazing authentic Taiwanese/Chinese inspired food by a Dutch chef who clearly has an awesome understanding of the cuisine, flavour, veganism and a no nonsense approach to food. Could not recommend any higher. Absolutely must eat, even for a non vegan.

Yummy - Edit
A nice little restaurant. Everything is vegan. We took one starter it was really good but surprisingly small. And two main course both really nice and completely different. You can ask for more rice. Do not hesitate it’s a really good restaurant.

Classic! - Edit
Wow, I can't believe I had yet to review this place! I must have visited it well over 40 times, on my own or with others, and everyone has always been fully satisfied. There are particularities about Lao Wai, some of which could be found to be positive or negative. For starters, it's a tiny place, so please do book in advance. If visiting them for lunch, make sure you turn up no later than 1:30 PM, as they may have run out of food otherwise. Staff (same waiter for well over 10 years) are attentive and efficient, though not overly friendly. Same goes for the owner, who recently put up a note stating Lao Wai is not on Facebook, they don't tweet, they have no blog.. Conformists? I dunno, but I personally do appreciate this willingness to stick to what they are known for (including accepting cash), as opposed to trying to expand, jumping on the bandwagon or being "out there" more than necessary.
Read moreDid I mention the food? Well, it's absolutely superb! While some may claim lunch is always the same (only one option each day: some kind of stew, plus rice and freshly-woked vegetables), it certainly does the trick for me. As for the a la carte menu, some favourites of mine include Gong Bao Su Ji, Xiang Shao Dou Fu and Qing Hui Bai Ye. The starters are quite good, even though they have some new addition that I still haven't tried. The desserts are fine yet maybe not all that special. In the old days they used to have some pannacotta style of pudding that was absolutely gorgeous!
I guess if I am to find something negative about Lao Wai it will have to be their prices, which have shot up over the last few years. Not excessive for the quality of the food, they just seem very high for the kind of setting where it's served. But then again, it might even be a good thing to just save this place for special occasions, otherwise I may show up more often than necessary.. thereby risking bankruptcy! :)

Excellent food, best Chinese meal I've ever had. Great tea selection which appears expensive but is good for refills so a pot will last the whole meal.

Delicious - Edit
Went for lunch. It was really crowded and we managed to get a table just as others were leaving (i.e. get there early or late enough to squeeze in). They serve only one dish for lunch. So its a take it or leave it option. But the food is good so there's no reason to complain. For a vegan lunch in Stockholm its not terribly high priced.

Reliably excellent - Edit
On this visit i tried the cardamom ice cream with bergamot and it was superb! I have been coming to Lao Wai on my Stockholm visits for over 10 years and I find it consistent in terms of quality and respect for all their ingredients. A lot of people don't know about this place, and I love to introduce them.
Read morePros: Fresh ingredients, Balance of flavours, Their own tofu
Cons: Tables must be reserved or you will miss out, Personally, the interior is a little bare
