Lovely Chinese!

This was a lovely Chinese restaurant, you pick a main dish and get a bowl of rice with it and serve from the centre of the table. It was delicious food, would really recommend and come back again.

Best Chinese restaurant

Amazing restaurant! Has a great range of dishes with tofu and soy meat. Great selection of tea too. The food was fresh, tasty and had no MSG. Staff are really friendly and helpful. It is a very small restaurant so might be worth booking in advance.

Pros: Amazing food , Lovely staff

Incredible!

Excellent! Definitely go here! Reserve or early. Lots of options, freshly prepared, extremely good food!!!

The only disappointment was we tried to go again another day and couldn't get reservations.

THE BEST VEGAN RESTAURANT OF THE WORLD. PERIOD!

And I have tried several.
Off the charts!!
All is plant based, organic, well cooked, everything (and everyone) is treated with care and love.
All the dishes are tasty. A pleasure for your senses!
Vegan versions of traditional Chinese dishes.
Family atmosphere and very friendly.

Pros: Everything!!! A must to go!

Clean, Crisp, Cozy

Strictly vegetarian Sichuan kitchen also supervised by the Stockholm Jewish community. The cooking style is clean, original with lots of vegan options. The Ma La Hou Tou Gu sliced hedge hog mushroom starter is excellent as is the Ma Po Dou Fu (spicy Sichuan tofu dish).

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Authentic feeling

Favourite restaurant in Stockholm

Gorgeous, imaginative flavours and ingredients. A must visit if in Stockholm. All vegetables are chopped/spices are crushed on demand as the orders come in, and it really shows in the freshness of the food. While it is on the more expensive side I never feel that Lao Wai is bad value for money.

Delicious chinese food

The menu is amazing and makes it really difficult to decide. We had a tofu dish and one with soy protein, both really fresh and well spiced!

A must go

Lao wai has been around for a long time and is always truly amazing. A unique take on many traditional dishes and the flavors are always there.

Delicious food

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Would recommend the "shrimp" dish. The service was also incredible. Additionally, we all enjoyed their homemade ice cream. Would highly recommend!!

Favourite meal in Stockholm, hands down!

I haven’t had Chinese food in ages, likely because it’s more difficult to find plant-based options. I was so excited to try Lao Wai!

We attempted walk in and, given the small interior, they were all booked. We made a reservation for a few days later (I would recommend this as their opening hours are more limited) and it was well worth the wait!

Prices are quite high, but the food is absolutely delicious. I love the sharing mentality of the dishes served; it’s great to order a few different options with your party and share away! Each meal ordered exceeded my expectations.

Highly, highly recommend.

Pros: Great jazz soundtrack, Quick service, Large portions

Cons: Expensive, Small interior

It's so good that we've gone three times in one week!

Lao Wai is one of the best vegan restaurants we have tried world-wide. Their Ma Po Dou Fu in particular is amazing. The staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful, as well. Caution: it is a small restaurant and reservations are recommended, even on weeknights!

Pros: Outstanding food, Friendly staff

Cons: Busy -- reservations recommended!

Best Asian in Stockholm?

Love this place! According to me it’s the best Asian and completely vegan restaurant in Stockholm. Large menu and everything is gold!

Pros: Good portions, Only vegan, Quick service

Cons: No romantic settings - just food😄

Rare to find a vegan only Chinese

Firstly, I was just impressed that there is a vegan-only Chinese restaurant, I’ve never come across one before. It’s a shame that their wines aren’t all vegan too (only one wine, a white, was vegan). A range of starters and mains. Modern decor, mix of Nordic and Chinese style. Quick service. Seats are a little tightly packed together. Definitely worth giving this place a try.

A little pricey, but very good

Good food and very nice service. Nice to find so many different tea options, all which you can share. Loved the homemade soy ice cream with cardamom, pistachio and bergamot!

Wonderful experience!

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

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.

Pros: Food, staff, food

Cons: Nope
