Lao Wai

Veggie food at it’s best! Friendly staff and nice and tasty dishes served with (in my case) green tea. Go here with both your veggie and meat friends neither of them will be disappointed.

Very good!

Went here for lunch. It was a unique place in that they were only serving 1 dish to everyone.
The dish was soy and potatoes with white rice and side salad. It was perfect in every way, taste, quantity, and price.

As a Chinese, it hard to believe that a western cook can make such native chinese vegetarian food. Good!

Went to this restaurant while I was on a vacation in Stockholm, I was never treated disrespectfully like I did in this restaurant, they are mean and do not know how to talk to a customer, we went there first it was very full, so we stayed outside waiting, and we went back asking for a table the waiter was rude, and asked as to go outside and wait because the table was reserved, even though when we called they said we don’t need a reservation, we were treated like trash. if there’s a zero star I will be happy to give them that, I will never go there anymore

I’m so glad I was able to try Lao Wai while visiting Stockholm. We have a lot of vegetarian and vegan Chinese, etc. food in San Francisco, but the quality isn’t always top notch. At Lao Wai, the seasoning and preparation were both right on. I also like that they do set lunches, which reminds me of the ease and simplicity of Japanese restaurants.
And to top it all of, it was reasonably priced (which is not easy to come by in Stockholm.) Next time I’m in Stockholm, I’ll be sure to go back.

In this place, I got the impression that everyone had the same course, and possibly, there was only one course on offer. This impression was supported by the rapid service in the crowded little restaurant. Food was good, but not extraordinary. We ate hastily and left early as there were more people than chairs.

Before Lao Wais dinner menu was more of a Dim sum set-​up with amazing small little dishes to share. At the time getting dims um was practically impossible in Stockholm, but even if there had been other options I doubt they would have been able to beat Lao Wai. Since then they have changed to a traditional á la carte menu and while it is still good, I find that the way many of the dishes are seasoned and put together, they would be better as small dishes combined where you get to combine the different flavours. This would be easily helped by going to Lao Wai in a larger group and simply split all the mains, but since the restaurant is very small there possibilities for that are somewhat limited.
For lunch they only have the option of one dish daily, They are all good — especially the ma po tofu which is among the best you can find in Stockholm — but when I was working in the neighbourhood I found that the same selected dishes were repeated a bit too frequently. When there is only one dish to choose from it would be nice to see a greater range of dishe sin rotation.
Lao Wai was and still is a great restaurant. The quality of food is great and can, as a bonus, win over the most sceptical meatlover. Where it fails slightly is in the logistics and the limitations in the size of the venue.
I really recommend that you make your first visit one for dinner to get the most out of your dining experience. But make sure you make reservations as there is little if any room for walk-​ins.

#12, #14, #32 yum! Highly recommend both appetizers if you don’t mind a little spice. Definitely don’t skip desert. Chili ice cream is so rare but they perfected for sure! Whether you are vegan or a meat lover the food is fantastic and think all will enjoy. Reservations recommended as it seems pretty booked and a very small space.

This is a very special restaurant: the food is vegetarian and very good. Every day they have only one course, which costs 90 SEK. You come in, sit down at a table and will get the course and a glass of water. If you’re not a fan of tofu, you should avoid this place, but if you’re into good Chinese food and don’t mind being surprised this is a great spot. Gets very crowded though, so a tip is to come early (before 12 pm) or late (after 12:45 pm). Bring cash, they don’t take cards under 100 SEK and the daily course is only 90.

Great vegetarian option. Didn’t knock my socks off, but still quite good for the price.

Lao Wai… how do I love thee! Will you please copy and paste yourself into San Francisco?
I have never had Chinese food this good. Ever. I have had few meals of ANY cuisine that can even compare.
Combine this level of deliciousness with the fact that every single item on the menu is vegan and gluten-​free, and… I have no words. Just pure, unadulterated love.
I had lunch here once and dinner twice. I highly recommend the smoked tofu dish, and the mapo doufu, but honestly every single dish we had was delicious.
This place alone is worth a trip to Stockholm if you are gluten-​free!

This is a fantastic Chinese restaurant in Stockholm. This is one of the very few all Vegetarian restaurant in the city. The food here is of very high quality and extremely tasty (though some dishes might be a lil oily).
They make all their dishes using Soy protein, which is a very commonly used substitute for meat.
The restaurant is very small and gets packed at times, and they also close down for a month during Winter. So better call ahead before you go. This place is about 2 mins walk from Radmansgatan T-​bana.
