A tiny oasis - Edit
This tiny restaurant boasts (in my humble opinion) the best vegan cuisine in Stockholm. It Specializes in vegetarian food inspirerad by traditional Sichuan and Taiwanese dishes. Their kitchen is free of msg, egg and milk products. Make sure to book a table if you're in town.

nice but crowded - Edit
It's a really good restaurant but it is very small so it can be hard ta find a place to site if it is during lunchbreak. The food is well done and has a good price for it.

Best option - Edit
For many years this was the only pure vegan restaurant in town which might be a valid thing to take in context when reading older reviews, we had nothing to compare with.
Read moreNow we have something to compare with and it is still the best option of the pure vegan places. The food is Szechuan and Taiwanese standard dishes veganised, so perhaps not a super thing compared with cities with more options, but the food is tasty and good.
The enviorment might be stressfull, and it's a place to go with a bigger group so you can share off diffrent places. And Do book a table
Pros: Good authentic Szechuan and Taiwanese food, Central, Tasty
Cons: Requires booking, Expensive, Might be loud

great place - Edit
Cozy place, but tiny, all tables are really close to each others and it gets noisy really quick. Book in advance, the place is often fully booked! The food really good and spicy, but nothing original. Good point though, you can get as much rice as you want with no extra costs

Amazing food, very good service - Edit
Very busy restaurant, but accommodated us without a reservation. Food and tea was top quality. Staff were happy to alter some of the dishes to make it suitable for a year old child. They also put up with the mess and noise from a boisterous child!

Unreal - Edit
Honestly some of the best vegan food I've ever eaten. It is pricey, even by Stockholm standards, but absolutely worth going if you are visiting. The staff was also very friendly!

This is where I bring meat eaters to impress them - Edit
The food is absoutely delicious, and the drink options go well with the food. One main course is more than enough to fill you up, and you share the courses on the table, putting a little bit of everything in your own rice bowl. Make sure to save some room for the home-made ice cream based on soy, rice or coconut milk.

Best restaurant in Stockholm - Edit
It's a small place. Make sure you book a table. By phone only.
Read moreThis is Chinese food at its best. The fact that the food is vegan is just extra delight!
They serve a large variety of tea and also wine and beer.
Maybe a little bit understaffed since sometimes you have to wait to get attention.
If you ask they sometimes have frozen lunch boxes to bring home for a very reasonable prize!

Vegan Chinese restaurant - excellent food - Edit
Lao Wai is nowadays a classic vegan Stockholm restaurant and still keeps the high standard. Minimalistic interior design, and very small space - so make sure to book a table in advance. This is one out of a few Stockholm restaurants that serves Chinese food as I remember the taste from my visits to China. The high-quality food is the basis for my five stars. The service is reasonable but I sometimes feel the waitor is a bit too stressed and one sometimes has to wait a few minutes extra for orders.
Read morePros: Excellent food
Cons: Often fully booked, Somewhat stressed out waitor

Book ahead! - Edit
We turned up just before 5:30pm on a Thursday night and we were lucky to get a table (and had to be prepared to be gone before 7pm). We saw several other groups get turned away. So book ahead!
Read moreThe prices weren't cheap and the serving sizes quite small compared to what we're used to (in Bulgaria) but man, it was good! We had 3 dishes (a starter and 2 mains) and they were all delicious. Before moving to Bulgaria I lived in Asia for a decade (5 of those years in China) and this is the best Asian food I've had in a very long time.
Highly recommend giving this place a try but do make a booking to avoid disappointment.
Pros: delicious food, friendly service , English menu

Decent lunch option - Edit
They do offer a set lunch on weekdays between 11 am. and 2 pm. for 100 kronors. I didn't have to wait for long, the portion was generous and the food was tasty. It's a friendly place and I would go there again. For Swedish condition the price was OK. Food seemed to be quite authentic (Chinese).

Average - Edit
I was looking forward to some Asian food which was began in Stockholm however I was disappointed.
Read moreThere is just one dish they serve at lunchtime and it was lacking flavor.
For the simplicity of the dish and they fact the kitchen only need to prepare one dish the 100Kr cost I thought was too high.
A nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Admittedly a long time since my last visit, but few things seem to have changed when one walks by. The food is really, really good - but also really, really expensive (not overpriced).

Nice food and place but expensive! - Edit
This restaurant is relatively small (don't forget to book your table) but offers a good vegan Chinese food, with plenty of tastes. The menu is not huge but every dish looks good! I tried the sliced mushrooms as a starter (exquisite) and the spicy Sichuan tofu dish (that was really spicy!). The portion of the dish is big and you won't be hungry anymore after a three-course-meal. I finish my dinner with a pistachio ice cream, made with their homemade soy milk. It was really so good! They also have a cappuccino very creamy. I would recommend the place for sure, even if I found it highly expensive. There is quality, yes, but nothing that deserves such high prices. Nevertheless, it is a must go for a vegan in Stockholm.

Nothing Spectacular - Edit
I had heard about how great the Chinese food at Lao Wei is, so I tried it.
Read moreI have eaten Asian food all over the world, and perhaps this is really good food for Stockholm or Sweden, but I didn't find the food at this restaurant to be anything special. The prices were certainly higher than I normally pay for rather ordinary Chinese food.
The food was good, but based on the reviews, I figured the food would be superb. The presentation was typical of just about any Chinese restaurant I have eaten at.
I ordered a monkey mushroom dish and some mixed vegetables. I enjoyed my meal, but wouldn't make a special trip to eat here again. This was the only Asian restaurant I have tried in Sweden, so perhaps this is better than the others.
This restaurant is very crowded and you are lucky if you can get a table quickly like we did.

Expensive but good vegan food - Edit
Only vegan which is great and during lunchtime, you don't even have to order cause there is only one meal to get so you just sit down where there is space and wait for the food to be done. Its really expensive and there aren't much spaceand tends to get really loud. Still pretty good.
Read morePros: all options are vegan, Good food, Don't have to order during lunchtime

Best Chinese food ever. - Edit
The flavours in the food were the best I have had from any Chinese restaurant. The place is quite small and always busy (I was there just after 5.30pm and I was lucky to get a table), but the advantage is that they focus on making really high quality food in small batches that is always fresh. The place is exceptionally clean and modern, and the kitchens looked just as clean as the dining area. First class service. It wasn't cheap - 340SEK for a beer, starter and main course, but it was definitely worth it. The reason it's not cheap is because they clearly use high quality organic ingredients, which I appreciate.

Great but expensive - Edit
This is really one of the better restaurants in Stockholm, but not one you go to that often since the prices.. :) The food is great BUT a bit to spicey for it´s own good. Many dishes on the menu kinda numbs the mouth so you can´t taste the other dishes anymore.. And i love spicey food, but here it kinda kills all other tastes.
