Ate here on a saturday night, and there was a queue! BTW you can’t book a table beforehand, so keep that in mind!
The restaurant is small and cozy, but the vibe inside was quite nice!
The prices were OK, and for the price, the food is very good!
Highlights for me were the shrimp and also the dumplings, so make sure to get that!
I thought the roast pork and the roast duck were good, but left a lot more to be desired.
The duck was extremely thick, and not as much flavor as I thought, with a weird meat to duck skin ratio. The pork was better, but lacked a bit of crispiness.
The service was OK, quite helpful!

Super solid experience. Waiters were prompt, kind and attentive. Helped us translate all the Swedish. We ordered several small dishes to share, including duck, noodles, beans and sirloin, dumplings, fried salmon etc. The duck was rich and decadent with perfect moisture, albeit a bit salty. Beef and beans were perfectly done, with sweet, savory and mild spice profile. Noodles had explosive smoky flavors… a bit extreme but tasty. Overall, this place is superb. I highly recommend. Lovely experience. Go there!

A big disappointment indeed. No matter you have the expectation of having authentic Cantonese food or fusion dishes, this place will not satisfy you.
Their fried noodles dish is named after an authentic signature Cantonese dish: 干炒牛河, which translates directly into “dry fried beef rice noodles”. To my great disappointment, they used wheat noodles instead of rice noodles for such a well-known dish. It is as if someone names a dish “Svenska köttbullar” and use chicken meat with boiled potatoes. If this place really wants to present a dish with wheat noodles, the least they can do is to not name it as rice noodles. Furthermore, the wheat noodles in this dish were soft and soggy, definitely from those dry noodles you can buy from any Asian supermarket.
The duck meat was totally out of texture. The pieces without bones tasted slimy and the skin was hard to chew on. The grilled pork’s odor was not properly removed.
The only good dishes here were the stir fried veggies and cucumber salad, but they were nothing special. Plus, they wrote oyster sauce as an ingredient in a vegetarian dish without marking if it was the special vegetarian version of oyster sauce.
As a place designed to serve shared dishes, the tables were very small to place shareable plates properly.

Honestly, the best chinese food I’ve had in Stockholm! We had some mapo tofu, some crispy dumplings that came with a sweet and tangy sauce, fried noodles with beef, and some crispy duck — paired it with beer. Everything we had was incredible and flawless. I loved every bit of our meal and can’t wait to come back again! Much love to the chefs and the staff ♥️

Great restaurant for Cantonese cuisine. We tried 5 dishes and the favourites were the wonton and duck. The seasoning was maybe a bit heavy on salt but overall very tasty. It was a busy evening and the food took some time to arrive but we had great service from our waitress.
